It's important for us to appreciate shape, pattern and form. Everything has a starting point and I find it interesting to think that most things around us have originated from nature itself. Even the forms that we now think of as ordinary in everyday life, a chair for example, must have been inherited from somewhere outside of ourselves as human beings.
Touching on a similar theme is American artist Matt Neibuhr, whose drawings are inspired by the minor details occurring in nature, hence his series titled 'Natural Forms'. Seen here is a selection of his photographic work which has a goal of looking closer at nature to reveal the patterns of repetition and form that inspire much of his drawing work. Grouping these natural objects in such a way makes it easier to spot and compare such markings.
Now a professional artist with RDG Dahlquist Art Studio in Iowa, Neibuhr's 20 plus years experience working in Architecture still informs a lot of his work today. His primary focus is the exploration of repetitive mark making which reveals patterns and textures of systems and processes. Matt uses simple tools such as lead graphic, straight edges and a parallel rule, setting out with a system in mind, then letting the system inform his work and the work inform the system (much like you would as an architect). I'm showcasing a selection of his photographs which serve as inspiration and study for his own drawings, but I invite you to view both his website and his tumblr page which he regularly updates with captivating works.

N-deal row: Left threatens govt with 'serious action'
Onkar Singh in New Delhi | August 10, 2007 16:56 IST
Communist Party of India leader Gurudas Dasgupta has warned that the Left parties will be forced to take serious action against the government if Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images] failed to heed the sense of the House before signing the 123 Agreement with the United States.
The agreement will operationalise the Indo-US civil nuclear cooperation deal.
Dr Singh had in a statement said that the decision with regard to the agreement was final and there was no question of going back.
"In August 2006, Dr Singh had taken note of the issues raised by the Left parties. What we want him to do now is to take a sense of the House before signing the final agreement," Basudev Acharya of the Communist Party of India-Marxist said.
"If the prime minister does not take notice of the views of the Left parties then we would oppose the agreement tooth and nail and take it to the streets. But this does not mean that we agree with the Bharatiya Janata Party because it was former prime minister Atal Bihar Vajpayee who initiated the discussion on the nuclear deal," another Left leader asserted.
The Left alleged that India was leaning toward imperialist United States which was against India's interests.
"This will harm the interests of India as a nation and its independent foreign policy," Archarya said. The prime minister is scheduled to make a statement in Lok Sabha at 3 pm on Monday.
Parliamentary spokesman of the BJP Vijay Kumar Malhotra said that the Left parties said one thing outside the House and did exactly the opposite while inside the House. "You see what they do when the PM starts making the speech," Malhotra said.

End of FEB 2015. Man does time fly I tell ya. How are we in March tomorrow? Crazy.
The fellas all met up post 15.1 picked a workout to do. We didn't really like the mash just middle so we made some edits and added our own. Here is what I did! *note I scaled...the Rx guys did a slightly "harder" workout.
3 Rounds For Time
9 x Power Cleans @ 115lbs - it was supposed to be a squat clean...so I power cleaned.
15 x Push Press @ 115lbs
Rest 7 min
3 Round for Time - the Rx was 5 rounds
12 x Strict Ring Dip w Band
12 x Strict Pull Ups
* some guys did C2B instead and kipped their dips
Rest 7 min
75# Thruster - the guys used 95#
This was tough..the burpees kill me. I am super slow and want to just give up...especially with my ugly bro rep thrusters. No bueno.
9-minute AMRAP:
15 toes-to-bars
10 deadlifts
5 snatches
(M 115 lb. / F 75 lb.)
15 toes-to-bars
10 deadlifts
5 snatches
(M 115 lb. / F 75 lb.)
Workout 15.1a
1-rep-max clean and jerk
6-minute time cap
I came in pretty anxious, nervous and super excited. I had a goal in mind. I wanted to get through ONE round. I wanted to get to ONE DAMN ROUND...as RX!
I cannot link Toes To Bar...I have to do it 1 at a time. So my goal was please please please let me get 1 round. I knew my deadlifts would be easy. I knew my snatch at this weight would be not super easy but I can do it. So I was only worried about the T2B.
I just nutted up...and went at it.
I was able to complete 2 rounds!!! My total score...
I completed 63 Reps on 15.1 and my clean and jerk was 205# for a total of 268!!!
I am beyond happy and super excited. I hate to sound cheesy but...tonight is a huge achievement for me. I went beyond what I thought I could do. I wont say I "crushed" this workout but I did so much better than I expected and what I thought I could do.
This truly is all the hype about crossfit is all about. The community and workout that pushed you...push you OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. Get out of it..stop being so comfy. PUSH YOURSELF! Again I know I sound like some crazy cult Crossfit idiot life coach wannabee. But I surprised and shocked myself tonight.
30 toes to bar? As RX? No way...really? I am too happy. I am proud of myself.
I hope this little accomplishment of mine will help someone out there to push themselves as well. You can amaze yourself....

A guide to filling out your W-4 form
Tax forms can be hard to fill out, especially the first few times. Each form comes with its own set of instructions, but sometimes you still end up being confused. Don't worry – we feel your pain. We'll take you through the process of how to complete a W-4 form, also known as an employee's withholding allowance certificate.
Check out our federal income tax calculator.
W-4 Forms: The Basics
W-4s aren't as scary as they may look. Employees complete this two-page form so that their employers know how much federal income tax needs to be withheld from their paychecks. You've probably come across a W-4 form if you've recently gotten a new job or your financial situation has shifted due to something like a divorce or the birth of a child.
Let's back up just a bit. What is withholding? It involves having a portion of your earnings taken and sent to the government. Even if you're not working, you may have taxes withheld from other sources of income such as pensions, commissions and awards.
Although you're required to submit a W-4 when you're first hired, you can turn in a new form as often as once a year or whenever you need to update your filing status. Depending on those changes, you may have more or less tax pulled from your wages.
You can expect the information on your W-4 to go into effect fairly quickly. Your boss must update your information by the beginning of the pay period that ends 30 or more days after you hand in the form.
What happens if you accidentally forget to give your employer your W-4? Prepare to have the IRS treat your income like it's taking taxes from a single person with zero withholding allowances. That's the highest possible withholding rate, and it could be a real problem if you need more take-home pay to buy a new house or cover some other expense.
Find out now: How much house can I afford?
How Does the W-4 Form Differ From the W-2?
Yes, both of these forms start with the letter 'w,' but that's where the similarities end.
Unlike a W-4, a W-2 form is what your employer fills out for all of her employees. It indicates the total amount of money that has been withheld and put toward Social Security, Medicare, state, local and federal income taxes. A W-2 shows your annual earnings from wages and tips as well.
Adding Up Your Allowances, Deductions and Adjustments
Before you can fill out a W-4 form, you'll need to complete the personal allowances worksheet. To do that, figure out how many allowances you're going to claim. As the number of your allowances increases, the amount of money withheld from your paycheck decreases.
You'll need to enter numbers in lines A – G based on your unique situation, so it's a good idea to pay close attention to the instructions. This part of the form may take more time to finish if you have children and/or you're married. But if you're single and you have one job, you'll enter a "1" for line A and a "1" for line B.
Write the sum of your allowances on line H. That will be "2" for the unmarried person with only one employer. If you have any deductions or income adjustments to make, you can then move on to the second page. It's possible to get adjustments for paying alimony, moving and having a health savings account.
On the deductions and adjustments worksheet, you'll need to do some math as you estimate your adjustments and add up your deductions that come from giving to charity or getting a mortgage. If you get stuck, the IRS has a withholding calculator that'll itemize your deductions, tell you how many allowances you can claim and determine the amount of income adjustments you're allowed to have.
Check out our mortgage calculator.
How to Fill out the Two-Earners/Multiple Jobs Worksheet
Anyone who's married to a spouse who works or who works a second job herself/himself will next need to take a look at the two-earners/multiple jobs worksheet. The number from line H on the personal allowances worksheet goes on line 1 of this worksheet, unless you have deductions or allowances.
The two tables at the bottom of the page will help you complete lines 2 through 9. These tables basically show you which numbers to enter depending on which spouse makes the most and least amount of money and which of your jobs brings in the most and least amount of income.
How to Fill out Your W-4 Form
The worksheets you've done so far weren't a complete waste of time because you'll need them to fill out your W-4 form. Once it's done, the worksheets are yours to keep.
Lines 1 through 4 of your W-4 are for your personal information: your name, address, social security number and filing status. Line 5 is for either the number from line H on your personal allowances sheet or the number from line 10 on your deductions and adjustments worksheet. Any extra money you want withheld from your check or the total from the two earners/multiple jobs worksheet goes on line 6.
In order to avoid withholding altogether, you'll have to fall into both of the following categories: you have no tax liability this year and you had no tax liability in the previous tax season, so all of the federal income tax you paid was given back to you. Generally, you can say you have no tax liability when you're not required to file an income tax return or you owe zero taxes. You may also be able to claim an exemption if your earned income for the year is extremely low ($1,050 or less).
If those conditions apply to you, you can write "exempt" in line 7. Keep in mind that the exemption only eliminates your federal income taxes, not your Medicare or Social Security. After you've signed the form, you're good to go!
The Takeaway
Failing to turn in a W-4 is a big no-no. But you could run into other issues if you don't include the right numbers on the form. If you don't pay enough, you might owe additional taxes later on. If you make the mistake of paying the IRS too much, you'll get that money back in the form of a tax refund once you've filed your taxes.

A word on ethics
// Dale North // @DaleNorth0
[Update from Chris Carter: in light of the Fig platform investor scheme that is more involved than a Kickstarter campaign, we've implemented a new policy. If a writer invests in a game, they are barred from writing about it. Similar to disclaimers for ex-staffers, we'll also provide a note in pertinent news stories that we have an individual who is investing in the game. As always, no relationships will be factored into coverage, and writers are required by Destructoid to disclose this before they invest. To go a step further, all shift leads (EICs) are forbidden from investing outright, and reviews for these games will be non-scored.]
[Update from Chris Carter: we've also made an effort to retroactively pursue disclosures, as is the case with this review of Oddworld after learning that a staff member, who was hired after we reviewed the game, was involved with the production as a voice. It seems unnecessary, but when possible, I prefer to be as transparent as possible. We wouldn't be here without our readers, so we owe it to you. If mistakes are made, we'll do our best to make it right.]
[Update from Chris Carter: as a whole I take disclosures very seriously, and we have continued to make an effort to disclose relationships in all of our reviews. That includes Kickstarters that individual staff members back. These disclosures will also show up in the review itself.]
There's a great deal of turmoil in the industry as of late. Many of you know that, and want some sort of resolution. We cannot speak for our colleagues or the people we cover, but wish to clarify our stance on these issues.
Our company condemns hate, discrimination, or harassment of anyone ever. While we support thoughtful discourse, there is a very bold line between criticism and harassment. We do not plan to wade into those waters and hope you will not either.
The videogames industry is a very small, and our job involves getting to know the individuals behind the games we play. Many prominent figures in the business have worked at Destructoid in the past. Those relationships don't simply vanish when they move onto other things. They are, however, set aside and never taken into consideration when we evaluate games.
We also ask for disclosures upfront as part of our employment paperwork.
Destructoid is but one voice among an echoing canyon of reverberating noise right now. We can't magically resolve all of the issues that plague the videogame industry. But, we feel it's important to disclose some thoughts and policies that the staff holds dear. At the end of the day, we really just want to do our best to serve you the best we can, and we believe the way to do that is by being good and honest people.
This ethics statement reflects our work at Tomopop, Flixist, and Japanator and all we do.

Klinggon, A Stylish Magnetic Earphone Holder/
Some people must have all of their cables organized in some sort of cable management, me? I couldn't care less. What you're looking at isn't Nike's latest shoe technology. No, these are quite simply a cable management solution for your earphones. The name is Klinggon, a little stylish dual-injected hard plastic and silicone earphone and cord holder that can be magnetically attached to your clothing using built-in neodymium magnets that will not damage your clothing but will interfere with a pacemaker. That is if you've got one in you. The Kilinggon's main purpose is to keep your earphones from ever falling to the ground and the cord from getting in your way while you're hard at work doing what you do best in a stylish way.
The Klinggon does look really good on its own, but who should really invest in one? Someone who hates having cables flying all around while running would be my guess. The Klinggon can also double as a neat dock for your earphones when you're not using them instead of ruining a perfectly good pair by tossing them in your bag or pocket. It could be available in 8 awesome color combinations if this Kickstarter project will end in success. If you think you and your earphones are in need of a Klinggon, you can pre-order yours for $25. Meanwhile, I think I'll stick to my bad habits of stuffing my earphones inside my pocket.

The Washington sniper, the talk of war in Iraq, and the possibility of nuclear weapons in North Korea have pushed election coverage off the front pages and the television screens. Now the death of Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone has further complicated the situation.
We'll talk about all of it with the Senate's Democratic leader, Tom Daschle, and Virginia Congressman Tom Davis, the top strategist for House Republicans.
Gloria Borger is here, and I'll have a final word on Washington and the problems of the real world.
But first, Tom Daschle on Face the Nation.
ANNOUNCER: Face the Nation, with CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer. And now from CBS News in Washington, Bob Schieffer.
SCHIEFFER: Good morning again.
And joining us now from St. Paul, Minnesota, where he had planned to be spending this day campaigning with Paul Wellstone, is the Senate majority leader, Tom Daschle.
Thank you very much for coming, Senator Daschle.
Here in our studio, Congressman Tom Davis. We're going to talk first to Senator Daschle.
Senator, Paul Wellstone was somewhat unique. He was, by any definition, a far-out liberal, but his conservative colleagues in the Senate sometimes liked him, I think, as much as his liberal colleagues. And I think the reason for that was that he really did believe in these causes that he fought for. And, as I'm sure even you would admit, sometimes that's kind of a rare thing in Washington.
What do you remember most about Senator Wellstone, and what is the Senate going to be like without him?
SEN. TOM DASCHLE, Majority Leader, D-SD: Well, what I remember, Bob, is his tremendous passion for public service, his belief that he could truly make a difference. And with his energy and with his liberalism out there for everyone to see, fighting the good fights each and every day with a sense of humor and a sense of self-deprecation that I think is virtually unparalleled in Washington today.
So we're going to miss that energy, we're going to miss that sense of humor, that dedication, that real feeling of making a difference and bringing that feeling to work each and every day he was in the United States Senate.
SCHIEFFER: He was so different, in the sense that in some ways the Senate is now a millionaire's club, and yet, when he was elected to the Senate the first time around, it meant an enormous pay raise for him. It was the most money he had ever made in his life. I'm not even sure he had a suit in those days.
You remember campaigning with him in those early days. What was that like?
DASCHLE: I remember campaigning with him. In fact, I remember a time campaigning, and I looked down at his shoes, and I could see the socks coming through his shoes, and asked him if it wasn't time to buy a new pair. I said, wasn't -- I asked if he was taking this common-man theme a little too far, but he said that's -- those pair of shoes are something Sheila paid and bought for him in a sale at one point, and he loved them, and he wasn't going to give them up.
DASCHLE: But that was Paul Wellstone.
SCHIEFFER: Let's talk about a little what happens now. The newspapers out in Minnesota this morning, friends of the Wellstone family are saying, and we have confirmed, I think, that members of Wellstone's family have asked the former senator, former vice president, former ambassador to Japan, Walter Mondale, to run in Wellstone's place.
Have you been able to confirm that, or do you know that?
DASCHLE: Bob, I don't know that. I know that Vice President Mondale has been approached by a number of people, and I know that he's giving it great thought. But I think, given the current circumstances and the fact that Paul's funeral will not be held at least for a couple of more days, I think most people are trying to wait until we've had an opportunity to think about Paul's life and to think about the contribution he made.
I know this. I know Paul would want us to win that election, and we're guaranteed that we're going to do all we can to make that happen a week from Tuesday.
SCHIEFFER: But do you think, in fact, that Senator Mondale would be the strongest candidate?
DASCHLE: Oh, I think he would. I don't think there's any question. There's such a tremendous reverence for him, respect for him. The contribution he's already made to his country and to public life is something that's pretty remarkable.
So he would be the great unifier, and I think there would be overwhelming support in Minnesota for his candidacy.
SCHIEFFER: Well, it's our understanding that he will not make any announcement of his intentions until after the memorial service for Senator Wellstone on Tuesday, I believe it is. But most people are now saying they believe that in fact he will do it.
GLORIA BORGER, U.S. News & World Report: Senator, let's talk about this fight for control of the Senate. You want to remain the majority leader of the United States Senate. You're traveling around the country to try and do that.
There are about five races right now that people say are really too close to call.
One of them happens to be in your home state of South Dakota, and that is where Senator Tim Johnson is pitted against Republican John Thune. John Thune was hand-picked by this president and his political advisers to try and defeat Johnson.
What's going to happen in that race?
DASCHLE: Gloria, we're going to win it. The last polling that we've seen over the last several days has indicated that Tim is opening up a little bit of a lead. He's got an incredible organization. And I think the people of South Dakota recognize he's made a remarkable contribution in his time in the Senate, and he deserves to be re-elected. I think that's exactly what is going to happen.
BORGER: What's the deciding issue? The Republican -- John Thune -- tried to make Iraq an issue. What is going to be the deciding issue?
DASCHLE: I think the deciding issue in South Dakota is going to be the clout that we currently have in the Senate, given our current circumstances. Never before have you had a member of the Appropriations Committee, a member of the Finance Committee, and the Democratic leader of the Senate, who happens to be now the majority leader, all working together for the interests of our state.
I can't think of a more powerful combination than that, and I think that at the end is going to be what people in South Dakota believe is the difference. We have that opportunity to continue that clout, and I hope that's exactly what happens.
SCHIEFFER: Senator, and I don't mean this in a personal way, but I was down in Georgia this week covering the race down there between Democrat Max Cleland and the Republican Saxby Chambliss, and I'm getting the impression that the main issue in all these races is Tom Daschle. I don't mean Tom Daschle personally, but the fact that you are now the majority leader, Democrats now hold the Senate.
My sense of it is that the real issue is, a Republican Senate or a Democratic Senate.
DASCHLE: Well, Bob, I think there's a lot of truth in that. I think that there is a big difference between Democrats and Republicans in this election, even though I think oftentimes the Republicans have tried to blur that difference. They've tried to blur it on prescription drugs, they've tried to blur it on the economy, on so many issues. And I think that drawing that difference is something Democrats have wanted to do.
This is about checks and balances. They control the White House. Currently they control the House. That may change in the election. But we control the Senate. And the question is whether or not we should have the checks and balances that this election could bring.
I believe the American people and the people in almost every one of the states that you'll visit would want those checks and balances in place as we look to the 108th Congress.
SCHIEFFER: But if there were a Republican sitting here, he would say it's not checks and balances, but obstructionist tactics by the Democrats in the Senate, who are blocking things like homeland security, which they see as the key to fighting terrorism. How do you respond to that?
DASCHLE: Well, I think we've had a very productive Congress. We've passed election reform and campaign reform, and we've passed a new trade bill. We've passed a good number of pieces of legislation, including the corporate governance legislation that passed last summer, the so-called Sarbanes bill.
But there are times when we don't believe that the far right-wing should dictate what the laws of the land should be, and we recognize our role in stopping the right-wing from having all of their agenda put into law within the Congress.
So we think that that checks-and-balance approach to government is a good thing, and I think the American people do as well.
BORGER: Senator, I'm going to ask you to become a political pundit right now and ask you, what's your pick for an upset Senate race?
DASCHLE: I think the best pick would be one of the two Carolinas, Gloria. I think we're going to win Texas, by the way. But if you're going to see a real -- an opportunity for Democrats, it would be either Lindsay Graham and the -- Alexander's race in South Carolina, where I think Alex is now even with Lindsay Graham, or Elizabeth Dole and Erskine Bowles. Erskine Bowles is now even in North Carolina as well.
Those two races are ones that I think we have a real good chance of winning. But I think we're going to win Texas as well.
BORGER: Do you think this country is just as split down the middle as it was during the presidential election of 2002?
DASCHLE: I think it's hard to say. My guess is that, because you've seen all of these very, very tight elections, that it may be just as split as it was two years ago. We have about 10 races that I think are within the margin of error that could go either way.
But over the course of the last week in particular, we felt some real momentum. We felt a spirit out there that we hadn't seen until recently. And I believe that we could end up a lot better off than we originally expected we might.
But no question, this is an election where there is a good deal of division within the electorate about where they want this government to go and what kind of government they want in the 108th Congress.
SCHIEFFER: Speaking of Election 2000, there's another similarity here, because, as you well know but I think most people in the country don't, because of the strange way or the different way that they conduct the election in Louisiana, Mary Landrieu, who is the incumbent Democratic senator there, has to get 50 percent of the vote, or somebody has to get 50 percent of the vote, or there will be a runoff, and that won't be decided until December 7th, I think it is.
So we may well go down to the wire all the way into December before we know who is in control of the Senate.
What do you hear about the situation in Louisiana, Senator?
DASCHLE: Well, Bob, the situation is much more stable this week than it has been in the last couple of weeks. Mary has solidified her substantial lead. She's at least 20 points ahead of just about any one of her opponents.
And she's within that golden 50 percent threshold right now. The last poll I saw had her at 48 percent with about 12 percent undecided. All she has to do is pick up a third of that undecided and she is over the top, over that 50 percent. And we're reasonably confident that that is exactly what is going to happen.
SCHIEFFER: All right. Senator Tom Daschle, thank you very much. We really appreciate you coming this morning.
DASCHLE: My pleasure, Bob.
SCHIEFFER: Let's talk a little bit about Republicans and the House.
Tom Davis, congressman from Virginia, heads up the committee in the House that raises the money for Republican candidates. And also I would say you're the chief strategist for the House races.
How does the House look to you right now?
REP. TOM DAVIS, R-VA: It looks very good to us. As you know, I did this two years ago when a lot of the pundits in this town thought Republicans would lose the House and we ended up holding our own.
We think we actually have an opportunity to make history this year and gain a few seats. There aren't that many seats that are really contested at this point, so it will move one way or the other very small. But we think we have probably a better chance to pick up seats than lose any seats at this point.
BORGER: If the Republicans were to keep the House, and let's just say that the Republicans were to take the Senate, what would be the first thing on the Republican agenda?
DAVIS: First of all, we'd pass a budget. The Senate, for the first time in 25 years, couldn't pass a budget this year. So we have appropriation bills that are stacked up at this point that we can pass in the House, and the Senate, having no constraints at all...
BORGER: Would you make the tax cut permanent?
DAVIS: We've only passed -- well, we tried to. I mean, we passed that. That's stacked up in the Senate, along with welfare reform which we've stacked up the reauthorization of that bill, a prescription drug bill which we've passed in the House for the second straight Congress. Couldn't get a bill out of the Senate where we could even compromise. Homeland security bill would be critical to get out.
SCHIEFFER: How many House races would you say are competitive at this point?
DAVIS: I'd say at this point we're watching about 20 races. There were about 40 on Labor Day. And as you look at where the money has gone and the polling at this point, it's down to maybe 15, 20 races, tops.
SCHIEFFER: If the Democrats were to take control from you and the Republicans, how many of those competitive races would they have to win?
DAVIS: They'd have to win almost all of them. You have to remember, these competitive races, over two-thirds of them are in districts that President Bush carried last time. So it's on our territory. That's why we see a lot of Democrats running ads with President Bush if they're incumbents.
I heard Senator Daschle say he sees a movement toward the Democrats in the last week. We've seen a movement toward our candidates in most of the races. But there is no defining national trend at this point. It seems to be a series of state and local trends.
BORGER: But over half the people in this country, I think one recent poll said 53 percent of the people, believe that the economy is in pretty poor shape. Is that affecting Republican candidates at all?
DAVIS: Not really, because I don't think -- this economy started to slide before President Bush took office, and they recognize that the events around 9/11 didn't help the economy at all.
They also recognize, I think, that part of President Bush's recovery program has been held up in the Senate, part of the stimulus package, his energy program, making the tax cuts permanent.
So they're not faulting the Republicans or particularly the Democrats. It's really going race by race at this point.
BORGER: Does the president's popularity, which is now above 60 percent, around 60 percent, does that trickle down to Republican candidates? What's the impact of that on this race?
DAVIS: Traditionally in midterm elections, a president's unpopularity hurts them. I don't know that it elects one Republican, but it creates an atmosphere where good candidates can thrive, and that's what we're having.
This is one of the highest popularities in off-year elections for a president we've seen before, and that's going to help us keep the House and maybe add to it.
SCHIEFFER: But in this debate about does the president have coattails, since some Democrats are putting George Bush in their ads, you have to wonder if he does have coattails, who are they coattails for?
DAVIS: Exactly. Well, I think they're helpful. Traditionally, if people are happy, they'll re-elect the incumbents. But I think the president has been a tremendous asset. People, I think, recognize that items are stacked up in the Senate that have passed the House. And I think we're going to return a lot of Republicans to the House.
SCHIEFFER: Congressman, talk quickly about this, the impact of the sniper. We had the sniper, we had the war talk, all of these things have literally pushed election news off the front pages and off the television screens all over America.
DAVIS: It reminds me of 1962, when the missile crisis just kind of froze the elections. Democrats only lost two seats -- they lost four seats that year; Republicans picked up two.
It has really frozen the campaigns, so that the Democratic strategy that they started in July and August of running on prescription drugs and Social Security, it really hasn't been able to get off the ground, and people are concerned with those but with a lot of other issues.
Also, we've been able to answer their attacks. We're the only party that's passed a prescription drug bill. We are the party that basically quit spending the Social Security surplus and balanced the budget and forced, we believe, President Clinton to sign a balanced budget agreement.
We're happy to talk about economics, but the voters have a complex matrix of issues that really varies district to district.
SCHIEFFER: So what you seem to saying here is that when something like this happens, it hurts the challenger more than it hurts the incumbent.
DAVIS: It does. They have not...
SCHIEFFER: And you've got more incumbents.
DAVIS: Absolutely. And what's happened is they have not been able to nationalize these elections and get that breeze they need to try to pick up additional seats.
BORGER: But the nation is generally not in a very good mood. More than half of the people in the country think it's heading in the wrong direction. Why wouldn't that affect incumbents?
DAVIS: Well, they're not upset with the political leadership. The incumbents it's affecting are governors, because governors are dealing with money coming in and money going out or having to slash budgets or raise taxes. But at the congressional level, and even at the presidential level at this point, they don't seem to have the same kind of concerns about the leadership.
SCHIEFFER: Tom Davis, thank you very much. In addition to being an astute politician, you are also a political scientist by training, if I recall, and you always bring good perspective.
DAVIS: Thank you.
SCHIEFFER: We'll be back in a moment with our roundtable discussion.
SCHIEFFER: And we're back now with Dan Balz of The Washington Post, the political writer and editor at The Post.
Well, you heard Senator Daschle and you heard Tom Davis. If both of them are right, everybody's going to win.
DAN BALZ, The Washington Post: Well, they seem to see a lot of movement that is not quite as easy to discern when you're watching these races in the way we do.
These races, particularly for the Senate, have been close all year long. They continue to be close. They're going to be close on election night. I mean, we face a long election night in a number of races that are going to be cliff-hangers all the way to the end.
At this point, you would have to say the Democrats probably have a little bit of an edge in holding on to the Senate, but not a big edge. And Congressman Davis is probably right, the Republicans have a little bit of an edge in holding on to the House, but not a big edge.
So, we're in a divided country, and it's showing up.
SCHIEFFER: Yes, and there are these bizarre aspects to this election. I mean, you go back to New Jersey, where you had Bob Torricelli, who was under fire for all of these scandals, and then he's replaced at the last minute by Frank Lautenberg. I would have to say that the Democrats are in better shape in New Jersey as a result of that than they were in the beginning.
How would you assess it if Walter Mondale becomes the candidate in Minnesota? Would that mean that the Democrats have a better chance, or would they have less chance than with Paul Wellstone?
BALZ: I think they would have as good or slightly better chance with Walter Mondale as with Paul Wellstone. It looked in that race as though Senator Wellstone had opened up at least a small lead. And I know Republicans were more worried about the race than they had been earlier.
I think with Mondale you continue that. You continue the legacy of Wellstone. And I think that it would make Republicans very uneasy about their hopes in that race.
SCHIEFFER: It's going to be very difficult for the Republican to campaign.
BALZ: Well, and they will only have a couple of days to do it.
SCHIEFFER: Yes.
BALZ: I mean, it's going to be at most a three-or four-day campaign under extraordinarily difficult circumstances.
BORGER: I think the thing about Vice President Mondale is also that he has remained in Minnesota. He was the ambassador to Japan, but then he went back to Minnesota. He's in private law practice in Minnesota. He teaches there at the university.
So it's not as if he disappeared off the political stage in the state. And so people, I think, would feel comfortable with him, feeling he had not left the state.
SCHIEFFER: Yes, and he is truly an icon in that state.
BORGER: Yes.
SCHIEFFER: I don't think there's any question about that.
Talk a little bit about the House. What do you see happening there?
BALZ: Well, very little movement. The Republicans do think they might pick up a couple of seats. That may be optimistic, but I think that there are not very many competitive races, but the ones that are, are genuinely, you know, very close, neck-and-neck kinds of races. There is a lot of money that's being poured into those races, particularly by the two campaign committees here in Washington.
I think we're at a point, though, that voters are, you know, voters tune out these ads. The ads, particularly that the committees are running, are very, negative ads. The arguments that are going back and forth are difficult for people even who cover the races to sort of sort out, let alone the average voter. I think arguments over who's got a better prescription drug program, or what's going to happen to Social Security, or even the sort of the state of the economy, are being tuned out by voters at this point.
SCHIEFFER: You know, I think that is a very good point, because we've reached the point in this political-ad business where these ads have become cartoons rather than ads.
I was down in Georgia this week, and one of the reporters down there told me, he said, you know what's happening in this campaign is that Saxby Chambliss, the Republican, is trying to paint Max Cleland as an extreme left-winger, which he's not. And he said Max Cleland is trying to paint Saxby Chambliss as an extreme right-winger, which he's not.
And that all comes from these ads. I just don't think people are taking them very seriously.
BORGER: Well, it's kind of interesting. In a state like South Dakota where ads cost nothing, there are so many of them that you turn on the television set, when I was out there, there's nothing other than political ads. And people have just decided, as you were saying, to tune them out.
SCHIEFFER: They've become elevator music.
BORGER: Absolutely.
BALZ: I think there's another element to this, and that is that neither party, and in a lot of states with big races, neither of the major-party candidates has offered a real plan, alternative vision. They have mostly spent their time on trying to dump on the other candidates or to character assassination or go with cookie-cutter kinds of solutions that people don't think really are the answer to the problems.
SCHIEFFER: What do you think, Dan, the impact of the sniper has been, the way it just sort of pushed news off of every newspaper and off of every television screen?
BALZ: I tell you, I was talking to a member of the state house in Texas on Wednesday of last week, and he said, people here are not talking about the economy, they're not talking about Iraq, the only thing they're talking about is the sniper.
I think what we've seen this fall is a succession of large news stories that have pushed campaign coverage off the pages of the newspapers, off of local news, so what people are left with are negative ads. That's most of what they're seeing, and that's not a very healthy diet.
BORGER: And that may mean very low voter turnout in the next election.
BALZ: Right.
SCHIEFFER: That may be the bottom line here.
Thanks to both of you.
I'll be back with a final word in just a minute.
SCHIEFFER: Finally today, Washington is where we deal with things that happen in other places. If a drought hits the Midwest or a hurricane rakes Florida, Washington is where they decide who gets federal aid. If a kid goes crazy with a gun in a Colorado high school, Washington is where the gun lobbyists and the anti-gun people square-off.
But then that plane plowed into the Pentagon, and the anthrax scare came along, and then there was the sniper. What we used to watch from afar here in Washington was happening here at home.
Nothing can ever match the horror of 9/11, but I was standing in the CBS news room last week when Chief Moose read the chilling message from the sniper, "Your children are not safe."
There was an audible gasp. I've never heard a reaction like that from veteran journalists, but our kids had been threatened. I can't remember, even in the first days after 9/11, when anxiety ran so high and there was so much real fear in the air. At least after 9/11 we soon learned who was behind it.
Nor can I remember such a feeling of relief when it was finally over. You could see it on the streets, on the faces and in the voices of the local radio and TV reporters who were almost giddy. We all were.
Then a plane crash took the life of someone many of us knew, Paul Wellstone.
They say Washington is an artificial place where people lose touch with ordinary Americans who are dealing with the day-to-day problems of the real world. But the real world came home to Washington last week, and it came in a terrible torrent. This community has survived, but she'll never forget.
That's it for us. We'll see you right here next week on Face the Nation.

French actress Julie Gayet has won a $21,000 (Gbp13,125) privacy lawsuit against editors at Closer magazine after they suggested she was involved in an affair with French President Francois Hollande.
Gayet sued bosses at the publication after they released a seven-page photospread, which appeared to show her and Hollande entering and exiting her apartment, while he was still dating journalist Valerie Trierweiler.
The politician chose not to sue and neither party admitted to the alleged affair, but Gayet insisted her life had been "turned upside down" because of the pictures that were published in January (14), and, on Thursday (27Mar14), a judge sided with her.
The 41 year old has also filed two criminal complaints - one for breach of privacy over separate Closer photos, which were taken while she was inside her car, which qualifies as a private space under French law.
She is also claiming the paparazzi "endangered others" when they hounded her.

I am looking at Madhur Jaffrey's Chicken Korma recipe as given at http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/creamychickenkormawi_90196; however I only have chicken breasts. In what manner should I modify the final simmering process or the spice/flavor balance or make up for this discrepancy?
closed as unclear what you're asking by Mien, user18453, derobert, KatieK, GdD Jan 12 '14 at 20:32
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If a recipe calls for assorted chicken parts, you can swap out all white meat or all dark meat to your liking safely. I do it fairly often, depending what cut is on sale or what I have lying around in my freezer. It shouldn't change much.
Logically speaking cooking chicken legs means less flesh which requires less time than cooking chicken breast which is whole flesh.
for 1 kg of chicken legs = 250 gms of chicken(in India,I don't know the chicken size in your country) so modify everything in propotion.
Chicken hind quarters have a much larger proportion of connective tissue which gives stews and braises a more unctuous flavor after those tissues have been rendered. Chicken breast, on the other hand, while much lower in fat, gives less flavor in stews.
3lb of chicken meat about what one would expect to get when stripping all the meat off of a roaster, so I assume this recipe intended to have some thigh or drum meat.
I like a lot of meat flavor in my stews. If I were making this stew with chicken breast, I would replace some or all of the water called for in the recipe with chicken stock to reintroduce those flavors.

Florence Liberti Magee Mercer of Southampton died in her sleep on January 25, 2019. She was 90.
Raised in Sag Harbor, and a longtime resident of the East End, she loved everything about the area, especially the beauty of the ocean and bay beaches and the tranquility of her home in North Sea which she called her personal paradise. Survivors said she had a zest for life, a great capacity to love, a quick smile and a mischievous sense of humor. She shared her optimistic spirit with her family, which extended beyond the East End to California and Florida.
Survivors said she was a dedicated and loving mother, a proud and doting grandmother, a devoted sister, a fun aunt and a loyal friend.
Ms. Mercer is survived by her children, Michelle Magee of San Francisco, Michael Magee and wife Carol of Southampton, and Maureen Magee of Florida; her grandchildren, Meghan Fanning and husband James, Matthew Magee and fiance Victoria, and Ryan Arvin; her sister Vivian Castantine; and nieces and nephews Debbie, Belinda, Angelo and Kevin. She was predeceased by a granddaughter, Kathryn Magee.
A memorial service is being planned for this summer. Arrangements are under the direction of the Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton.
Memorial donations may be made to the Sag Harbor Fire Department or the Peconic Land Trust.

SYTECH Case – Damaged BlackBerry Forensic Examination – Linzi Ashton: Michael Cope Admits Murder
A man has admitted murdering his ex-girlfriend in a "dreadful and violent attack" in Greater Manchester.
Michael Cope, 28, pleaded guilty to the murder of Linzi Ashton and three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, at the start of his trial at Manchester Crown Court.
Miss Ashton, 25, was found dead at her home in Winton, Salford, on June 29 last year.
A post-mortem examination concluded she died as a result of pressure to the neck and multiple injuries.
Cope had a brief "acrimonious" relationship with Miss Ashton, who had two daughters, Destiny, seven, and Daisy, two.
Police said Miss Ashton had been the subject of a "vicious and sustained attack".
Cope spent nearly a month on the run following the killing, sparking a police manhunt.
Officers described him as a dangerous individual, who had a "history of violent and aggressive behaviour", and warned he should not be approached.
An allegation of rape, which he had denied, has been requested to lie on file.
The barmaid made complaints to Greater Manchester Police last April and May that Cope had raped and beaten her.
A Crown Prosecution Service spokeswoman said: "Having considered this case very carefully in line with CPS policy, we have asked the judge to order that the rape count lie on the court file.
"We have taken this step only after proper consideration of the views of Linzi Ashton's family members on this matter."
Ruth Mann, senior crown prosecutor for CPS North West, said: "Linzi Ashton was the victim of deliberate and sustained domestic abuse at the hands of Michael Cope.
"This abuse culminated in a dreadful and violent attack on Saturday June 29 which resulted in the tragic loss of her life.
"We have been determined to bring Michael Cope to justice for the horrific way in which he treated Linzi Ashton and we have worked tirelessly to build a strong case against him.
"Today he has admitted to her murder and he has been brought to account for his reprehensible actions.
"This is a very sad case and today's outcome can in no way address the pain felt by the friends and family of Linzi Ashton.
"I would like to offer them my deepest condolences and my thoughts are very much with them at this time."
In a statement issued shortly after Miss Ashton's death, her family said: "She was the most beautiful, generous, caring person anyone could ever wish to meet.
"She would never harm anyone and was always there for her children and family."
Cope is to be sentenced on Tuesday.

Jack Bauer should torture his suspects by making them go car shopping with their exes. -Lorelai, Gilmore Girls
I've been toying with the idea of getting a newer car. I'm frustrated by it because I've finally paid off my Ford Focus that I bought new back in the day with Flame Boy. That car has always been the bane of my existence because it wasn't entirely my decision. In fact, Flame Boy, as was his way back then, made all the decisions for me, even when I protested. I think that buying a car new isn't the smartest investment, particularly one I'd done no research on, like my Focus. Don't get me wrong, eventually I appreciated it, but I never loved it. And I've always hated the color. Silly I know, but true.
So now, only 6 years old, the stupid thing is starting to have transmission problems. Focuses aren't worth much at all, and the cost of fixing it will likely be more than the car is worth. I hadn't planned on buying a car until I started a family. I wanted a sensible family car, with all the fun car accessories, like navigation, bluetooth, and for the first time ever, an automatic. With all the commuting I've done over the years, I can't wait to not have to shift anymore! So the question now is, if I do get a newer (used!) car, do I go with a family vehicle? And also, do I buy one now, or run my current car into the ground? I don't like the idea of having a car payment again, but I also have a fear that my car will break down on my way to work, leaving me stranded.
Match is super excited about the idea of me buying a car. His car is his baby, and he's completely obsessed with all things vehicular. Of course he wants me to get something with a lot of horsepower, while I want something fuel efficient and stable. Oh, and a pretty color and nice body style. Haha. I'm such a girl!

2.08: Post-Story Discussion - Val
In the previous episode, I had a conversation with my guest Val, a bisexual woman, who talked about asking out both men and women. Continuing off of that, I bring up the major points we touched on in the conversation and shed a little more light on them.
People often say that it is dangerous or uncomfortable for women to approach men and ask them on dates because men could react unpredictably. They could get upset. They might see you has a slut or call you demeaning names. They might talk about you behind your back, or even physically assault you. I definitely agree with all of these points, but when we say this, it seems as though the assumption is that men never experience the same asking out women. But this couldn't be any more false.
People (both men and women) are unpredictable, so there is really no telling what any one person will do when they are approached for a date. I want there to be an easier and better solution to this problem, but I don't know that there is one; other than just teaching people not to conform to these ideas about gender, and not to be assholes to each other.
I also talk about what happens when a person is so infatuated by their crush that they can't even speak to them, even when on a date. Spoiler: the relationship is probably not going to work out.
At the top of the show, I also talk about the MTV Video Music Awards and Miley Cyrus. She has gotten a lot of flack from the media and feminists about how she performs her identity. I play devil's advocate and point out the ways Miley may be even more a feminist for doing what she does.

As I continue to fully embrace my gentle + peaceful journey towards deeper healing, I have been revitalizing + elevating my daily dry brush ritual with this amazing duo to facilitate gentle detoxing. Detoxing does not have to be painful, cause extreme unbearable + relentless herx reactions, or send you to the ER to be effective...one of a slew of valuable realizations + phases of learning from my last couple of months.
Living Libation's gentle but so invigorating ENERGY BRUSH is made with bronze bristles that contain copper + zinc encouraging ions to be directly absorbed through the skin. Other dry brushes have always been way to rough for me and I was a bit skeptical when I was initially introduced to this creation at their Venice store opening recently. The moment I tried it, however, I was hooked and my skin + lymphatic system was too. I use it every morning with a few drops of their Lymph+ Tonic, a circulation-enhancing blend of essential oils that assist in lymphatic flow. I also rub a few drops of this potion directly onto my the lymph nodes around my neck and ear area, which has always been a particularly clogged area for me, for additional drainage.
Here is a review of the gorgeous ingredient list :: info from Living Libations.
CYPRESS :: (Cypress sempervirens) provides structure and clarity, and supports the lymphatic system by helping it nourish cells and excrete wastes from the body. Strengthening and tonifying, cypress encourages forward motion, grounds the spirit in practicality, and protects the delicate connective tissues of the nervous system.
ROSEMARY :: (Rosmarinus officinalis) stimulates the lymphatic system, clarifies the body and refreshes the mind. Rosemary also increases blood flow to the brain, enhances the firmness and luminosity of skin, and improves memory function.
LAUREL :: (Laurus nobilis) is an ancient tonic that has long been associated with nobility and grace. Laurel is particularly renowned for its incredible effects on both the immune system and lymphatic system.
EUCALYPTUS :: (Eucalyptus globulus) supports the lymphatic system by protecting it from bacteria and viruses. It's also a wonderful stimulant that contains antimicrobial and pain relieving properties.
YARROW :: (Achillea millefolium) is a rich, deep blue oil that contains incredibly high levels of Azulene, a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Yarrow revitalizes and strengthens the skin, veins, and all of the body's major systems. In Chinese medicine, yarrow epitomizes the perfect balance between yin and yang.

"We would like to thank you both for making us feel at ease throughout our photography session. You have made a special lifetime memory for us — one that we never thought we would make but one we will never forget. The experience was unreal, exciting and absolutely fantastic. Can you also pass our thanks on to the Juliette and Phoebe, who did the make-up and hairstyling — they did a great job.
Avi, you were amazing, highly professional and the photos you took were unbelievable — even while stretching us to our limits. We cannot wait until we have the photos hanging on our walls.
Alia, you made us feel so comfortable that we both felt like life-long friends of yours rather than just clients. You have a natural ability to make the whole experience so exciting and enjoyable.
Again we thank you both. You added a little extra spark to our lives — even after 37 years of marriage. It's amazing what a new pair of stiletto heels and bright lights can do!"

The Oregon Insurance Division on Aug. 1, 2014, announced approved rates for 2015 individual and small group health insurance. The state did not release an average increase or decrease amount, but touted them as lower in 2015.The state's insurance commissioner, Laura Cali, said in a press release: "Our rigorous review included public hearings and analysis to ensure rates are reasonable and support a sustainable market. Ultimately, the approved rates are lower on average than in 2014, reflecting the effect of competition and Oregonians' expanded access to health coverage."[1]
Ultimately, average plan rate increases and decreases hold little real meaning for consumers since they are averaged across plans and not people. Since some plans enroll more consumers than others, the average plan rate across individuals may look a little different. Premiums vary by insurance company, plan, age group and geographic region. Furthermore, eligibility for advanced premium tax credits will also impact monthly premiums.
For a 40-year-old living in Portland, the average approved rate change ranged from -20.6 percent to 10.6 percent. The overall average approved rate change for this person, using the average approved rate change across all carriers for a 40-year-old living in Portland, is -2.48 percent. The actual rate change this person experiences will depend on the additional factors mentioned above.
The approved 2015 rates affect about 10 percent of Oregonians who purchase their own health insurance coverage or are employed by a small business (50 or fewer employees) and obtain it through their workplace.
Consumers may search 2015 rate requests and find sample premiums at oregonhealthrates.org.
Changes to Oregon's exchange for 2015
Oregon's health insurance exchange will shift from a state-based marketplace to a partnership model known as a supported state-based marketplace for 2015. Cover Oregon will continue to manage health plans and educate the public, but consumers will enroll in 2015 health insurance plans through the federal marketplace website.
Looking at the numbers, 2014 health insurance enrollment in Oregon appears a success. A Gallup Well-Being poll placed Oregon among the 10 states with the largest reduction in percentage uninsured from 2013 to 2014.[2] As of Oct. 28, 2014, Cover Oregon enrolled 416,056 individuals enrolled in health insurance—105,055 in private health plans and 311,001 in Oregon Health Plan, the state's Medicaid program.[3] However, Cover Oregon's online portal was reportedly plagued with technical problems and the state is now in litigation with the company it contracted to build it.
Individuals and family health plans
The following 13 companies have been approved to sell ACA-compliant individual health insurance plans in Oregon. Those with an asterisk participate in Oregon's health insurance exchange.
- ATRIO Health Plans*
- BridgeSpan Health Company*
- Health Net Health Plan of Oregon, Inc.*
- Health Republic Insurance Company*
- Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the NW*
- LifeWise Health Plan of Oregon*
- Moda Health Plan, Inc.*
- Oregon's Health CO-OP*
- PacificSource Health Plans*
- Providence Health Plan*
- Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon
- Time Insurance Company
- Trillium Community Health Plan, Inc.*
Small business health plans
The following 14 companies have been approved to sell ACA-compliant small group health insurance plans in Oregon. Those with an asterisk participate in Oregon's health insurance exchange.
- ATRIO Health Plans*
- Health Net Health Plan of Oregon, Inc.
- Health Republic Insurance Company*
- Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the NW*
- LifeWise Health Plan of Oregon
- Moda Health Plan, Inc.*

Oregon expanded Medicaid to low-income adults in 2014. According to a Sept. 30 article posted on Oregon Live, "the federal government has agreed to handle most Oregon Health Plan enrollments for a 12-month period. Others will be processed manually by about 75 people."[4]
Choosing 2015 coverage
Oregonians who purchased health insurance on or away from Cover Oregon may renew their 2014 coverage in 2015, if it is still available. However, is wise for all consumers to reevaluate their insurance coverage for the year to come and weigh their options carefully.
Some things to consider:
- Did your family health needs change in the past year? Will they change in the year to come?
- Did your income change? Are you eligible for a tax credit, eligible for a larger or smaller tax credit, or no longer eligible for one at all?
- Did you use the coverage you selected? Was it too much? Too little?
- Did your plan network include your preferred providers and hospitals? Were they conveniently located?
Health and financial needs change, benchmark plan rates used to determine tax credits fluctuate, tax credit eligibility changes, and so do plan rates and networks. Check out the plan options in your area. Compare monthly premiums, annual deductibles and out-of-pocket limits, coinsurance, copayments and network providers and determine which work best for your healthcare needs and budget. Recalculate your premium tax credit subsidy eligibility.
If you qualify for a premium tax credit, you may want to keep your search to the exchange. If your are not eligible for a premium tax credit or the amount is small, you may want to consider options in the private marketplace. Remember: Tax credits are only available when you shop your state's exchange. If you plan to buy 2015 coverage through Oregon's exchange and receive a subsidy, be sure to update your financial and household information.
Use HealthCare.com's Obamacare tax credit subsidy calculator to see if you might be eligible for a tax credit—and estimate how much. While you're visiting HealthCare.com, enter your ZIP code to find and compare plans in your area. Call (877) 626-1943 to get help directly from an agent.

text: A couple of months ago I had taken a spill and busted my face open just above my left eye. I was impressed with how interesting the pattern of blood looked pouring down my face. That said, I quickly stopped by the studio and photographed it prior to going to the ER. This sparked the idea for this photo-shoot depicting various face wounds.
