Though many of us resist observing the fourth day of every July as the United States' Independence Day, most of us did enjoy an extended weekend and a little extra time to eat well these last few days.
With extra time off and barbecues abounding, many vegans of color also watched loved ones consume insane amounts of fatty food products this weekend. VoCs may have sat back in pity, made some side-comments about eating to live or had their day explode with an all-out argument over whose food ideology is the correct one after trying their best to resist watching family members put extra pressure on their already stressed frames and cardiovascular systems. However, in the wake of this anti-arterial holiday, Dr. Andrew Weil wants us all to reconsider where we might be coming from when it comes to our causal claims about poor health, fat, and our (outspoken) thoughts on what's really bad for us.
In his recent article entitled "Fats or Carbs: Which is Worse?" , Weil gives us something to chew on. Overall, I found the piece to be interesting, although I was repeatedly challenged to not to look away after Weil evokes an abusive use of the word "civilization" (someone: please explain to me again how the conventions of sedentary, disease-inducing lifestyles represent the pinnacle of human organization and social sophistication; therefore engendering "civilization" and "modernity", respectively? Pardon me but I assumed that optimal health across communities and ways of living that maximize human engagement with environments both built and naturally occurring was the ultimate expression of human social organization.) Though much about who I am is in opposition to Weil's hegemonic opinions on what constitutes human sophistication (and the implication that o/Others do not experience obesity and Alzheimer's to the same degree as Americans because they/we lack the structural aspects of civilization), I still think there is some discussion-worthy content in "Fats or Carbs".
As a two-year vegan who once struggled tremendously with the over-consumption of grains, breads and pastas, I know I am not the only who benefits from this conversation. Personal reflection and community engagement has shown me that vegans (especially vegans still exploring what fundamentally works for them) often adopt diets that centralize carbohydrates and animal product-free refined foods. To that end, I would to speculate on what Dr. Weil's most recent piece may mean for vegandom.
Below Weil outlines his conclusions on the source of obesity and life-style related disease in the global n/North:
- Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease or any other chronic disease.
- The problem is the carbohydrates in the diet, their effect on insulin secretion, and thus the hormonal regulation of homeostasis — the entire harmonic ensemble of the human body. The more easily digestible and refined the carbohydrates, the greater the effect on our health, weight and well-being.
- Sugars — sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup specifically — are particularly harmful, probably because the combination of fructose and glucose simultaneously elevates insulin levels while overloading the liver with carbohydrates.
- Through their direct effects on insulin and blood sugar, refined carbohydrates, starches and sugars are the dietary cause of coronary heart disease and diabetes. They are the most likely dietary causes of cancer, Alzheimer's disease and other chronic diseases [of epidemic proportions in the US].
What are your thoughts on this? Do Weil's arguments about dietary fat not being the culprit we think it is and carbohydrates being the engine for obesity and disease hold water to you?
I know that we can all clearly conclude that imbalance anywhere is going to do greater harm than good, but I would like to seriously consider whether the disproportionately high carb intake for many of us may be leading vegans in North America away from optimal fitness and towards refined food-related illness as well. Would you disagree?
As a conscious vegan with a demanding life, how do you manage these inclinations towards refined, carb heavy food fixes in order to maximize the tremendous benefits of a plant-based diet?
Looking forward to this brilliant community's thoughts….

Microsoft employee David McLauchlan posted photos of how the Zune integrates with the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The news releases about the car from GM already confirmed that its stereo would feature iPod integration and a USB port, but this is the first we've seen about the Zune integration.
The pictures show a nice image of a Camaro appearing on the Zune's screen when it is connected to the car, along with the various play and navigation screens that show up on the car's radio display. We've never liked the aqua electro-fluorescent radio displays used by GM, but it is nice to see you can choose music much as you would on the Zune, browing artists, albums, songs, and genres.

The Fly Away with Epson campaign was a real departure from the norm and has created lots of welcome in store excitement for both consumers and retailers alike. Sales and market share have increased considerably during the promotion period.
...we have found that for payment switch and acquisition campaigns, the One Free Night's Hotel Stayoffer has had an uplift of around 100% when compared to other incentives. ...the Free Night's Hotel Stay delivered double the response in comparison to other incentives when tested on a like for like basis. ...We believe this is due to the high perceived value and aspirational nature of a night away in a hotel, in comparison to an everyday object ...
I just wanted to email you to say thank you very much for all your help booking our holiday. We had a fantastic time and everything went smoothly without hitches which I am sure is down to all your hard work. Thank you once again so much, and we are booking again for next year we enjoyed it that much!
Thanks to all the team, their hard work and efforts. Using a variety of health and sports related rewards and incentives from high profile affinity partners the Daily Telegraph achieved the aim of retaining loyal circulation and readership figures. RIX sourced, contracted and managed different health, sports and leisure related partners so that our front page promotional puffs could display a different daily reward. An impactful campaign tailor made to our readership.
For our Summer and Winter campaigns, RIX supplied the perfect loyalty rewards. We are delighted to be working with Peter and the team again and look forward to starting the new year with another successful campaign.
I have worked with RIX & inspire over the last few months and have always found them to be open, creative, flexible and knowledgeable about the travel market, but also committed to delivering a robust, customer friendly solution. Inspire also understand that large financial institutions bring with them a degree of process and governance! Rather than shying away from this they focus on addressing these requirements head-on – being PCI compliant is a great example of this.
Travel By Inspire have crafted their own unique offerings within the online travel sector of Priority Moments. Offering a wide range of fantastic holiday experiences, on both a national and international scale, working alongside Travel by Inspire, and specifically Ellie is simple. We look forward to continuing and strengthening this relationship in order to continue to provide our customers with exclusive, best in market Priority Moments!
Fly Away with Epson achieved all of the business objectives set and in its achievements contributed to Epson Europe's Consumer Business Units most successful quarter to date.
As a direct result of the promotion, Epson UK were able to gain additional in store space in key retailers, extended our distribution in the grocery channel and run activity with retailers who were previously planning none. We're really pleased with the cut through this promotion has given us with retailers and think it was a great success.
Fly Away with Epson has enabled us to move away from the traditional discounting promotions and add value for both the consumer in terms of benefit and enabling retailers to sell higher basket values. It has allowed us to differentiate ourselves in the market place and we have seen the impact on this with higher sales. Based on this success we plan to continue to use this type of promotion in the future.
RIX supplied our Winter/Christmas store card campaign - a free pamper treat reward. RIX worked extremely closely with the New look team in order to create and deliver an exciting reward that was a fabulous fit to our customer base. We are very happy with the results delivered and are looking forward to working with RIX again on our Spring/Summer activity, which we are sure will be another huge success.
Price promotions have been splashed across the media in the last couple of months, they have their place and can be very powerful, but too many brands have been using them as a permanent strategy, not a short term tactic. IPM research has proved that that the longer companies use price promotions, the more they erode margins with damaging effect on brand values. Great added value promotions actually build brand value and profit margins.

Dreams from the Million Women March 1.21.17
In my dream, I was on the street, among the people in the neighborhood, trading clothes among ourselves so we'd all have something to wear that fit us. I was trying to find a funeral at the church, but I didn't know which church, so I was scrolling through a list, like a teleprompter, trying to find the name and location and the time of the funeral, all the while moving and driving and feeling anxious and hurried to get there – but I didn't know where there was.

Nature Connection and the Food Revolution
My mother was a "foodie" decades before the word was invented. I grew up with an International Cooking Club gathering once a month in our home. I have memories of the smell of curries and Italian sauces simmering on our stove, of Greek menus and Moroccan and Brazilian and North African flavors that were exotic for the early 60's. My mother grew her own herbs and made...
Radical Restoration
I was born into a world of white privilege, of entitlement, and with an assumption that everything around me was here for me. Without knowing any differently through the teachings of my school, my home, or my church, this was the way it was: whatever you had the money for could be yours and the most important thing was to have the money.

Why Should I Go Back to College?
As a young adult, I completed my associate degree and transferred to a four-year university. I enjoyed college and all its opportunities. Two classes prior to graduation I was offered my "dream job." As I mulled over what to do, the question that run through my mind was: Why should I finish my degree? It's a good question that I didn't know the answer to until life pointed it out to me.
What is your answer?
Do you want a sense of accomplishment? Are you trying to set a good example for your children? Has your career hit a dead-end? Maybe you just want to go back to college to get your degree. The motivations may be different for everyone, but many questions asked by adults returning to college are the same.
- Why should I complete my degree?
- How can I pay for college?
- What resources will help me succeed?
- How can I make time for school?
- What are the career benefits of earning a degree?
How can I pay for college?
The first step to figuring out how to pay for school is understanding the cost. A Net Price Calculator is a handy tool to understand the costs associated with school.
After reviewing the cost of school apply for federal financial aid by completing the FASFA. Financial aid is available for adults. You will never know what financial aid you will qualify for, i.e. grants and loans, unless you apply.
Military Benefits
Are you a member of or served in the United States military? If so you may qualify for tuition assistance, VA chapter benefits, vocational rehabilitation and more.
Employee Benefits
Review your employer's education benefits. Check to see if they offer a tuition remission program or if they have a partnership with a university that provides benefits like scholarships. If your company does not currently offer these benefits, consider contacting your human resources department and inquire about creating a partnership.
What resources will help me succeed?
Since college is an investment in time and money you want to be sure you are successful. It may have been years since you've written a paper. You may not have an affinity for math. Despite these worries, you can earn your degree. You're older and wiser now. Instead of trying to take the world on by yourself look into tips and use the resources available to help.
Academic Advisor
Your number one ally might be an academic advisor. Advisors help students understand the catalog (the classes that are required to earn your degree) and help you build a game plan (education plan). This plan lays out what classes you will take and when. Colleges with academic advisors are student-centric and know that advisors will listen to your strengths, your challenges and help you pave a path to academic success.
Many colleges offer tutoring and education support. Look into free programs such as a tutoring center or online writing and math community.
Accessibility Support
Do you have trouble concentrating? Suffer from PTSD? Colleges are federally mandated to provide educational resources to students living with disabilities including ADHD, dyslexia, hearing loss and more. Resources including hearing impairment services, mobility assistance, speech recognition technology and more, are available to you at a center for disability services or office of accessible education.
How can I make time for school?
Flexible education
As a busy adult juggling family responsibilities and work, carving out time for yourself can be hard. That's why finding a college that caters to adult learners is important. Consider a school that offers local evening classes blended with online components. Completely online programs also provide flexibility to learn-on-the-go. Competency-based education is self-paced. Students earn digital badges that show their mastery of specific skills. Work can be done days, nights or weekends.
What are the career benefits of earning a degree?
More opportunities to earn more
Education is a valuable tool when looking to expand your career options. Not only does it make your resume look more marketable but it is projected that 35 percent of job openings will require at least a bachelor's degree. [1] On the average, college graduates also make more money, about $17,500 more per year.[2] In addition, the unemployment rate is lower among adults over 25 with a four-year degree. [3]
Why did I finish my degree?
I left school for the "dream job" in television. I learned the entertainment industry wasn't very glamorous. I was on-call evenings, weekends and holidays. I commuted in hours of traffic. My career lacked stability. I was constantly having to work my connections for the next gig. I was under-appreciated and overworked.
I left the high stress of television production for a local job in customer service. I worked for years honing my soft skills and growing with a team. I piloted programs and won awards but each time I applied for a promotion, I was overlooked. After four years of trying to move up, I was told I wasn't considered for a position because my bachelor's degree wasn't complete. At age 35, I was a first-time mom with a stagnate career and no bachelor's degree. I could not afford childcare but also could not afford to live on one income. I needed to finish my degree to help support my family. And that's exactly what I did.

Osmotic pressure
Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semipermeable membrane.[1] It is also defined as the measure of the tendency of a solution to take in water by osmosis.
The phenomenon of osmotic pressure arises from the tendency of a pure solvent to move through a semi-permeable membrane and into a solution containing a solute to which the membrane is impermeable. This process is of vital importance in biology as the cell's membrane is selective toward many of the solutes found in living organisms.
In order to visualize this effect, imagine a U-shaped clear tube with equal amounts of water on each side, separated by a membrane at its base that is impermeable to sugar molecules (made from dialysis tubing). Sugar has been added to the water on one side. The height of the water on each side will change proportional to the pressure of the solutions. Osmotic pressure causes the height of the water in the compartment containing the sugar to rise, due to movement of the pure water from the compartment without sugar into the compartment containing the sugar water. This process will stop once the pressures of the water and sugar water toward both sides of the membrane become equal (see osmosis).
Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff first proposed a formula for calculating the osmotic pressure, but this was later improved upon by Harmon Northrop Morse.

- Derivation of osmotic pressure 1.2
- Morse equation 1.3
- Tonicity 2
Applications 3
- Potential osmotic pressure 3.1

- References 6
- External links 7
Thermodynamic explanation
Consider the system at the point it has reached equilibrium. The condition for this is that the chemical potential of the solvent (since only it is free to flow toward equilibrium) on both sides of the membrane is equal. The compartment containing the pure solvent has a chemical potential of \mu^0(l,p). On the other side, the compartment containing the solute has an additional contribution from the solute (factored as the mole fraction of the solvent, x_s < 1) but there also appears an addition in pressure. The balance is therefore:
- \mu_s^0(l,p)=\mu_s(l,x_s,p+\Pi)
where p denotes the external pressure, l the solvent, x_s the mole fraction of the solvent and \Pi the osmotic pressure exerted by the solutes. The addition of solute decreases the chemical potential (an entropic effect), while the pressure increases the chemical potential, and thus a balance is reached. Note that the presence of the solute decreases the potential because x_s is smaller than 1.
Derivation of osmotic pressure
In order to find \Pi, the osmotic pressure, we consider equilibrium between a solution containing solute and pure water.
- \mu_s(l,x_s,p+\Pi)=\mu_s^0(l,p)
We can write the left hand side as:
- \mu_s(l,x_s,p+\Pi)=\mu_s^0(l,p+\Pi)+RT\ln\gamma_s x_s
where \gamma_s is the activity coefficient of the solvent. The product \gamma_s x_s is also known as the activity of the solvent, which for water is the water activity a_w. The addition to the pressure is expressed through the expression for the energy of expansion:
- \mu_s^o(l,p+\Pi)=\mu_s^0(l,p)+\int_p^{p+\Pi}\! V \, \mathrm{d}p
where V is the molar volume (m³/mol). Inserting the expression presented above into the chemical potential equation for the entire system and rearranging will arrive at:
- -RT\ln\gamma_s x_s=\int_p^{p+\Pi}\! V \, \mathrm{d}p
If the liquid is incompressible the molar volume is constant and the integral becomes \Pi V. Hence we can get an equation with high accuracy
- \Pi=-(RT/V)\ln(\gamma_s x_s)
For pure substances the activity coefficient can be found as a function of concentration and temperature, but in the case of mixtures we are often forced to assume it is 1.0, so
- \Pi=-(RT/V)\ln(x_s)
For aqueous solutions, when determining the mole fraction of water, it is necessary to take into account the ionisation of salts. For example 1 mole of NaCl ionises to 2 moles of ions, and the mole fraction of water reduces accordingly.
Historically chemists have found it time consuming to calculate natural logs, so they used molal concentrations for dilute solutions as shown below. With spreadsheets the equations above are easy to use and offer much greater accuracy over a wider range of concentrations.
Morse equation
The osmotic pressure Π of an ideal solution with low concentration can be approximated using the Morse equation (named after Harmon Northrop Morse):[2]
- \Pi = i M R T,
- i is the dimensionless van 't Hoff factor
- M is the molarity
- R=.08205746 L atm K−1 mol−1 is the gas constant
- T is the thermodynamic (absolute) temperature
This equation gives the pressure on one side of the membrane; the total pressure on the membrane is given by the difference between the pressures on the two sides. Note the similarity of the above formula to the ideal gas law and also that osmotic pressure is not dependent on particle charge. This equation was derived by van 't Hoff.
Osmotic pressure is an important factor affecting cells. Osmoregulation is the homeostasis mechanism of an organism to reach balance in osmotic pressure.
- Hypertonicity is the presence of a solution that causes cells to shrink.
- Hypotonicity is the presence of a solution that causes cells to swell.
- Isotonicity is the presence of a solution that produces no change in cell volume.
When a biological cell is in a hypotonic environment, the cell interior accumulates water, water flows across the cell membrane into the cell, causing it to expand. In plant cells, the cell wall restricts the expansion, resulting in pressure on the cell wall from within called turgor pressure.
Osmotic pressure is the basis of filtering ("reverse osmosis"), a process commonly used to purify water. The water to be purified is placed in a chamber and put under an amount of pressure greater than the osmotic pressure exerted by the water and the solutes dissolved in it. Part of the chamber opens to a differentially permeable membrane that lets water molecules through, but not the solute particles. The osmotic pressure of ocean water is about 27 atm. Reverse osmosis desalinates fresh water from ocean salt water.
Osmotic pressure is necessary for many plant functions. It is the resulting turgor pressure on the cell wall that allows herbaceous plants to stand upright, and how plants regulate the aperture of their stomata. In animal cells, which lack a cell wall, excessive osmotic pressure can result in cytolysis.
For the calculation of molecular weight by using colligative properties, osmotic pressure is the most preferred property.
Potential osmotic pressure
Potential osmotic pressure is the maximum osmotic pressure that could develop in a solution if it were separated from distilled water by a selectively permeable membrane. It is the number of solute particles in a unit volume of the solution that directly determines its potential osmotic pressure. If one waits for equilibrium, osmotic pressure reaches potential osmotic pressure.

Coalition 44 (up 1)
ALP 35 (down 3)
Greens 11 (no change)
Others 10 (up 1)
These are two week rolling figures.
If only the last week is considered the 2PP is 53/47 up 2 from the week before.
The major pollsters were all in the region of 53/47 over the past few weeks and only ER was the outlier with 50/50. It now falls into line with other pollsters and removes any nagging doubt about the swing away from Rudd. According to ER's figures, the ALP primary has fallen from 40 to 35 in two weeks. That 5% fall has been picked up by Greens and 'others'.

2x 400g tins of black beans
1tsp salt
2 cups of corn kernels
5 heaped tbsp of tomato paste
1)Add pre-soaked BixMix & all other ingredients to a big bowl.
2)Mix well until evenly combined
3)Flatten mixture into 2x paper-lined trays, to a thickness of approx 1cm.
4)Bake at 180 degrees for approx 40mins, or until you can see some separation from the edges of the tray & cracking on the surface.
5)Cut into squares & top with avocado, tomato & red onion – or whatever you like! Fresh coriander & salsa would also be great.
Serves Approx
Makes approx 30 snack-sized pieces (mix fills 2 large baking trays)

Proyectos Innovadores
Summer 2008 Site Review
Proyectos Innovadores is a financial consulting agency located in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. It is a small firm that has three people running it: Guillermo (Manager), Martín (Assistant), and Anabel (Secretary). The agency's mission is to provide Argentines access to their country's economy in terms of opportunities for investment.
To accomplish this, they offer several tasks in the areas of financial and tax advisory, among other things. They advise their clients on financial product design and structuring, on global risk management and involvement in committees, on the management of institutional investments, and on the definition, management and evaluation of accounting hedges. In terms of tax advisory, they review internal price policy along with existing liabilities and charging. To this effect they also design transfer pricing policies in compliance with tax requirements.
I interned as an International Markets Research Intern and was given the assignment of studying and researching the grape market in the US. The position dealt with economical research applied to real business projects where my main responsibilities were: to study the world market of fresh grapes, with focus on the US market; to prepare reports on specific aspects (consumption, distribution channels, prices, law and regulations, taxes, etc.); and to participate in work meetings with the different parts involved.
An internship in another country is unlike any internship within the US, it is a whole different concept of interning that has with it an extremely valuable experience. While much of the etiquette and protocol still remains the same, a great deal of it does not. It is rather difficult sometimes to pinpoint exactly what the differences are at the end of the internship because one becomes deeply assimilated in the culture that no differences can be seen. Aside from learning the technical issues of the tasks at hand, one learns about the country and realizes that there are indeed more similarities than differences between other countries in the rest of the world, a concept of great value that will become a great asset in any workplace during our era of globalization.

Summer 2008 Site Review
This summer I was an intern for a marketing consulting firm, Proyectos Innovadores. The firm was small, comprising of the two owners, Guillermo Acosta and Martin Dellavedova, and the secretary, Anabel. The company has consulted for private companies as well as for the Argentine Bolsa, which is the equivalent of the United States Chamber of Commerce. The firm focuses on the design, evaluation, and fundraising of various projects that include everything from real-estate to agriculture.
Currently Proyectos Innovadores is studying the world market of fresh table grapes. The company is investigating the profitability of growing fresh grapes in Argentina and exporting them to the Unites States. As of now, Argentina produces more grapes than most countries in the world; however, all the grapes grown are used solely for wine production which is one of their biggest industries. My tasks as an intern included researching the international market of fresh table grapes, studying the United States trade restrictions and tariffs of importing, and to finally prepare a report comprising of all the information I learned.
For me the cultural experience of an internship in a foreign country is indescribable and incomparable to any other. Even though I could have done my internship in the U.S., I chose to come to Argentina to experience something new and different. That is just what I got. I highly recommend that everyone should study abroad at least one in their life and if possible to intern in that country as well. Argentina was an experience I will never forget. In my three months here I learned a lot about how the workplace is run, the government participates or not, and how people live here day to day. This was an experience of a lifetime.

But it separated at the bottom seam which allowed oil to leak out. Maybe the next one will be better. I did not leak any oil at the filter when it was removed from the engine. So the design is good.

- Flag as Inappropriate
On first one I used I held the bib too tightly around the filter mounting base and one side seam ripped. Was more careful on second filter and prevented seam rip.
My filters are remote mounted in a horizontal orientation. Consequently it is impossible to remove the filters with an opening face up to prevent spillage. Oil Bib contained the spillage as advertised, but smeared around the filter as I rotated it. Learning from the first experience, however, taught me to adjust my hold and turning technique enough to prevent as much smearing.
In both cases the Oil Bib did prevent almost all of the seepage from spilling into the engine compartment.
I would caution against having the filter "drop" into the bib as suggested. Seems to me that would present a good possibility of pulling the bib away from one's grip on the bib.
A great improvement though over the wrapping and packing with shop towels approach I've been using.
I don't hesitate at all to recommend the Oil Filter Bib.

Francis II of France died at the tender age of 16 due to an abscess in his brain. This was caused by an ear infection that spread rapidly and resulted in immense swelling.
Francis II of France suffered from illnesses throughout his short life. As a child, he fell sick often and was very weak. In 1558, Francis II married Mary Queen of Scots, a childhood friend, in an arranged marriage. The following year, Francis II ascended to the throne, but his reign only lasted for a little more than a year before he succumbed to an acute ear infection. The official cause of death was a brain abscess caused by the swelling from the ear infection.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Call it the overlooked election. An intense battle is going on right now for control of Congress, but it's overshadowed in the media by a historic race for the White House.
So which party has the upper hand in the fight for Capitol Hill?
The answer, according to a new national poll, appears to be the Democrats. In a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Tuesday, 56 percent of those questioned are backing the Democratic candidate for Congress, while 42 percent support the Republicans.
That's a change from immediately after the GOP convention, when the Democrats had only a 3-point lead lead over the Republicans, 49 percent to 46 percent.
"The change may simply be due to the convention bounce fading for local Republicans," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "We've seen evidence that the bounce for John McCain and Sarah Palin was not a permanent change in the horse race. Since the Dems have had a double-digit lead in the so-called 'generic ballot' question throughout the year, it's possible that the current numbers are just reverting back to normal levels for 2008."
The "generic ballot" question asked voters to choose between an unnamed Democratic candidate versus an unnamed Republican in the House race in their district. In reality, people vote for specific candidates in the 435 separate district elections for the House of Representatives.
The poll also indicates that most people don't think Congress is doing a good job at all. Only 22 percent approve of how Congress is handling its job, with 78 percent disapproving. The Democrats who currently control both houses of Congress fare better. Forty-four percent of those polled approve of how Democratic congressional leaders are doing their job, up 8 percentage points from July. Fifty-four percent of those polled disapprove.
The Democrats currently control 235 seats in the House to the Republicans 199, with one seat vacant. The Senate is split 49 to 49, with two independents. But both of those independent senators caucus with the Democrats, giving the party the majority in the Senate.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll was taken Friday through sunday, with 1,020 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The poll's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for the overall sample, and plus or minus 4.5 percentage points for the questions on how Congress and its leaders are
handling their jobs.
that's what republicans get for trying to destroy our country. 'country first' to them means corporations and wall street first!
Chuck – Obviously you know very little about the government or anything else. HOWEVER Republicans have had control of BOTH houses for six of the past 8 years. Even though the dems have had a majority for the last 2 years their efforts have been thwarted by republican filibusters (look that up cause I know you don't know) and over 500 vetos by Bush alone in the last two years. It is amazing they have gotten anything done. When the republicans tell you what to think they need to provide you with the truth so you don't sound like a moron.
I guess there aren't enough Rovians to spread around to the congressional campaigns – campaigns that will lie out of every side of their face to voters eager to eat it up.
McCain/Palin – Joke
Obama/Biden – The only REAL choice
None of this makes sense. The Democrats have controlled Congress for the last two years and before that it was off and on with the Democtrats causing so much grid lock that nothing could be accompliished. It is a fact that all of these finamncial woes started with Bill Clinton signing the bill that began the deregulation and unraverling of our financial situation and yet the Democrats are leading in the polls. Looks like we will get more of what we deserve...
Hey Biden
I guess I am patriotic, since I pay income tax. I think you called those 40% of Americans who do not pay any taxes unpatriotic.
You Mr. Biden are pathetic, I wonder how come you are so poor when you son is a federal lobbyist? I wonder if he pays taxes. Is your son patriotic Mr. Biden?
Why do you democrats have to label everyone? Why does Obama call women pigs and people in the Mid West bitter people. Why to you lie and say McCain can't use a computer?
You Mr. Biden and Mr. Obama belong in the pig pen with all the big pigs. I am sure
bring it on man.
DJ Los Angeles September 23rd, 2008 4:16 pm ET
Democrats need 2/3 majority of Congress to override the President…so all you Republican apologists trying to blame Congress when they always get vetoed by Bush have no credibility.
What has been vetoed that caused the market mess????
GIve facts. Without the facts to back up your statement you have no credibility. I blame Bush and Congress both for the mess.
What choice do the American people have? After the Republican rule, we have no money, two wars, and a terrible image around the world. Do we really want four more years of this crap? Hell no. Vote Democratic, It's our only hope.
Since the Palin ticker is closed...I'm going to reprint something I saw elsewhere.
If you were buying a car, would you buy it solely on how it looks? Wouldn't you want to test drive it, listen to the radio, kick the tires, hear how the engine runs, etc? Of course you would! The Republicans are asking us to "buy" Sarah Palin without a test drive. NO press exposure whatsoever? It's ridiculous and we cannot let these people win!
Go out and volunteer, drive people to the polls, talk to your neighbors, get involved. We have to get Obama and Biden in office for us to have any chance at restoring this country to its once former glory.
Yes by all means lets elect more socialists to the dumbacratic congress that does nothing.
Let's kick them all out. For the most part, they are money hungry crooked good-for-nothings with personal agendas that have nothing to do with helping the regular common folk! I am still an Obama supporter, but Nancy Polosi and Harry Ried have done nothing worthwhile as House and Senate leaders. They promised to do well by the American people and have done just the opposite. They need to be fired! We certainly know what the Republicans can do – Nothing! So why not clean house? Here are some words of wisdom for you, Congress, when you go on your end of the year recess, don't bother coming back!
Sorry guys, but bad news in the form of truth isn't evidence of bias. Facts aren't biased. Idiots who choose to disregard them, pretend they don't exist or even fabricate fake ones to counter the real ones...those are the people who are biased.
Another step toward socialist rule.
Turns out, greed is not so good.
It took the Democrats 6 years to obtain a majority in Congress in both the Reagan administration and in the Bush administration. It only took the Republicans TWO years to obtain a majority under the Clinton administration. It doesn't look to ME like the Democrats are all that popular. Further, if the Democrats insist on blocking oil drilling when voters are paying nearly $4.00/gallon at the pump, the Dems are not likely get any more popular.
Well once again the democrats have to clean up the financial mess that the republicans make, The republicans have been in control for 6 YEARS AND JUST LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THIS COUNTRY ECONOMY IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN, WE HAVE LOST RESPECT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TIME TO GET THE BUMS OUT VOTE DEMOCRAT!!!
The Republicans have made such a mess it is amazing that anyone could consider voting for them. However, because of the structure of government you have to be very concerned if there is a dem. president and a dem congress. History suggests that whatever party is in this situation will soil their nest.
I remember the Keating 5, here we go again.
Obama/Biden 08
Whoever watch Obama's press conference today probably realized why this is not only ready to lead on day 1. HE'S READY TO LEAD NOW.
McBush and my Ex- Republican party. We lied our way into the White house in the last two Elections. That's not happening now.
Republican for Obama 08
Great news. Obama and Biden can preside over the coming depression. They will incur the wrath of the public as they are unable to deal with the world wide crisis.
Sarah Palin will spend the next four years building experience as she has started today at the United Nations. Since she is only 44, she will be a powerhouse in U.S. politics for the next 20 years.
Sarah Palin 12 & 16'
Why cant Bill Clinton keep his mouth shut!!! The Clintons do not help Barack at all!!! Stupid ridiculous comments about palin!! and advice to barack please–Barack knows exactly what hes doing without an inflated ego!!!!!!!
I agree with CNN, them Dem's are the greatest! They rule, they rock! What bias?
The names may change but the game's stll the same. Please look at the voting record of the people you are voting for.
NEWS FLASH: John McCain and Sarah Palin just revamped their campaign theme to address the widening poll gap between the Democrats and the Republicans in Congress. The new message as follows:
... Dumb and Dumber working hard for you, America!
Great news! Let's hope for a turn toward a better future.
Democrats all the way!!

Confession: I am a little terrified of the choose-your-own-adventure salad stations at delis and counter-service restaurants in Midtown, you know the ones where you can pick your own mix-ins?
Making good food decisions on the fly is not one of my strong suits. And unlike ice cream toppings, which are made to go together (often times the more the merrier), there are more bad ideas than good ideas lurking at the salad station. I feel like I inevitably end up with one item that makes the whole thing gross, like fresh mozzarella … and silky tofu. Plus, with so many options, it's difficult go get out for less than $7, which is often my goal.
I finally think I found a strategy that results in a salad that is both super cheap — $5 for a veggie version, or pay an extra $1.50 for meat — and that you won't regret later on.
STEP ONE: Pick the small salad. Nevermind container size, the salad will be substantial. At Village 38, the small salads start at $2.75. (If you still have doubts, pick up a $0.50 bag of Wise chips.)
STEP TWO: Say "yes" to free. Order all the complimentary ingredients you can stand. At Village 38, they offer sprouts, red onion, scallions and crutons.
STEP THREE: Order one menu item from each category. It sounds like so little, but with the free ingredients you'll end up with a salad with five (or more) mix-ins, plus dressing. Plus, your salad is less likely to get messed up by your over-zealousness. You'll be fine.
I ordered: $0.50/mushrooms, $0.75/egg white, $1 feta cheese (upgrade and get a meat protein if you're in doubt or feel like spending a little more).
STEP FOUR: Add it up. Double-check to make sure you're getting charged for what you ordered. In my case: $2.75 + $0.50 + $0.75 + $1.00 = $5. Now that's a bargain.
Ed. Note: I tested this strategy at Village 38, but in general, most places offer some sort of free "topping(s)" and their price point for ingredients is within the same range, if slightly higher. You're still in and out for less than $7.

Posted: 10/10/2011
Location: Greenville area, SC
Shape: Light
Duration:3-4 hrs
|Red, blue and white lights seen hovering in the sky in the vicinity of the Anderson/Greenville area on 10/1/11 and 10/4/11.
While preparing to leave for work for my family's company, my mother walked outside of her and my father's house to walk the dog around the yard. As I was walking toward the work truck, my mother became frantic saying she could see a blinking light in the sky. I walked over and looked to where she was pointing and saw a red blue and red light in the night sky. At first, I thought it was a star, but it was blinking in a sporadic manner. I then called for my father to come look. His initial reaction was that it was a plane. The lights, however, did not move, just hovered. Our next reaction was that it was a helicopter, but it stayed aloft for too long and was too high for a helicopter to hover from. Plus, there was no discernible noise coming from it that we could hear. My father, as a sceptic went to grab his binoculars to try and identify what it was. When each of us looked through it, the lights seemed to be moving in a circular pattern. I tried to explain this away saying that my hands were shaking, but both my parents said it was mving in a circle when they looked, too.
After about 15 minutes, my parents went inside and I went to leave for work. As I was pulling out of the driveway, though, I thought I saw 3 orange dots. I'm not sure, because when I looked back a second time, I didn't see them. Four hours later, when I brought the truck back, I again saw the flashing light in the sky.
On October 4, 2011 at approximately 03:45, I saw the light for a third time.

When it comes to customer service, most people think of assisted service, the kind that puts a human being on the other end of the line to help you through your troubles. But for online businesses, assisted service options like email, live chat, and phone support have challenging ROI and leave customers frustrated. When you have to pay someone to provide customer service day-in and day-out, the costs add up. As a result, companies want to keep support costs down and are constantly measuring the effectiveness of their assisted service centers.
Traditional measures for the effectiveness of assisted service are familiar. They include things like response time, time-to-resolution, resolution rate, and customer satisfaction. These are fine measures for assisted forms of customer service.
But the exciting thing for online businesses today is that customers are already immersed in an information-rich environment when they are on the web. Given the right tools, customers should therefore be able to resolve their own problems. This simple idea is the crux of web site self-service, where customers can utilize online resources to get the answers they need.
Self-service is a great concept. When customers can get answers on their own, companies save time and money. Plus, studies show that nearly 75% of customers want to self-serve, especially among Millennials. It's faster and more convenient. No more waiting on the phone, in email, or in live chat.
But how should the effectiveness of self-service solutions be measured? (Hint: Nobody is doing it right today.)
Today's Measures Don't Tell You What You Care About
The most common customer self-service solutions today are "help islands." These include standalone knowledge bases, FAQs, and forums. They are islands in the sense that they are separate from the pages of the web site they support. Presumably, it is on the pages of the actual site where customers' questions arise, so customers have to find their way to the help island to begin scouring it for help. Sadly, very few customers ever bother doing so.
Besides help islands offering a poor customer experience, the measures these islands offer for their own effectiveness are woefully inadequate. That's because they say nothing about the customer's ultimate success on the main web site, which is what businesses actually care about. Without access to such knowledge, help islands can only report things like the average number of knowledge base articles visited, the length of time spent on each article, and whether an article was marked helpful or not. In short, the measures you can get about most self-service solutions today are measures that only tell you about the solution itself. But as a web site owner, that's not what you primarily care about!
The Right Measures for Customer Self-Service
As a web site owner, what you really want to know is how your self-service solution affects your customers' behavior on your main web site. For example, you care about whether your self-service solution:
Leads customers to successfully purchase products;
Prevents customers from having to send support emails;
Resolves customers' frustration and confusion;
Takes a short or long time doing so.
In short, you want to know whether your customer self-service solution actually helps your customers achieve their goals on your site.
Conventional self-service solutions have no idea about that because they are islands—they aren't on your site!
AnswerDash as a Contextual Self-Service Solution
AnswerDash is a contextual self-service solution for web sites and web applications that resides on your site, wherever you want it, providing your customers with instant answers right within their existing customer experience. By being "contextual," AnswerDash delivers answers to common questions without requiring your customers to leave the page they're on. They stay in their existing context and get the answers they need at their point-of-action, where they can apply those answers and continue moving forward to achieve their goals.
Because it is on your actual site, AnswerDash provides measures of its performance that, as a web site owner, you actually care about. You learn, for example, how many customer support emails or live chats are deflected by AnswerDash's self-service answers. You see AnswerDash's effect on your sales conversion rate to know whether self-service answers are helping your customers successfully buy your products. You see which answers are most helpful at resolving your customers' questions.
AnswerDash wants you to see these things because what you see will delight you. Typically, AnswerDash customers see 50% reductions in email support requests and even greater reductions in live chats. AnswerDash customers also typically see 10-30% increases in sales conversion rates.
Customer self-service is a hot new trend but the measures of its effectiveness need to be the measures businesses care about. As a contextual self-service solution, AnswerDash gives its customers the self-service measures that matter most to their bottom line.

An ABC News-Washington Post poll has John McCain in second place among the Republican contenders with 19 percent, behind Giuliani (33 percent) but ahead of Thompson (16 percent), Romney (11 percent) , and Huckabee (9 percent). And this poll isn't a total outlier — the Real Clear Politics average puts McCain in third place but very close to Thompson, who is in second.
These results represent progress for McCain. They are attributable, I think, to his strong debate performances, the improvement in Iraq since his preferred military policy was adopted, and his commitment, finally, to a secure-the-borders-first immigration policy.
The bad news, though, is that McCain still trails Giuliani substantially. McCain and Giuliiani are paired in a "semi-final" in the sense that both are competing for the same general group of voters — moderates and "non-base" conservatives. As long as McCain lags behind Giuliani, he's going to have trouble winning primaries. Romney and Thompson, by contrast, can win primaries without being close to Giuliani in national popularity.
Meanwhile, on the Democratic side the ABC News-Washington Post has Hillary Clinton nearly lapping the field with 48 percent compared to Obama at 26 percent and Edwards at 12 percent.
JOHN adds: A commenter at the Forum says the Post poll is flawed because the respondents were largely Democrat-leaning. I think this misses the key fact about McCain, which is that his appeal is not limited to base Republicans. I haven't studied the poll data closely, but any poll that only surveys Republicans will understate McCain's strength, as in most states, a large percentage of his votes will come from independents.

Happy Monday Morning! Does anyone else think that a trip to the local dump to clean out a few things constitutes a really successful weekend? Well, we had a growing pile in the driveway that all got hauled away ... I announce the weekend successful!
In the midst of client projects I have slowly started to tackle my family room. The "formal" living room of the house, but no formality here. After painting our den Gloss Red, I wanted this to be colorful, cheerful ... but light. We painted the walls Linen White almost immediately after we moved in and basically the room became the holding ground for the pieces of furniture that I wasn't quite sure what to do with.
Because the room is a little narrow, I need to shove my sofa all the way to the wall. Not my favorite, but I am being held hostage by the size. The upside is that we can get more seating in this way and that is very helpful.
We have two windows now with a sofa in the middle ... similar to this.
And here is the rub. I want drapery panels in this room, not just roman shades. So I am about to make the jump and do this "one sided' window treatment thing.
How do you feel about this look? It leaves me a little naked feeling. But I might have to live a little on the wild side this go around. Have you tried it?
What makes the above work is the screen in the middle ... I will need to make certain the wall above the sofa has some weight to it to make it balance.
I am working on my plan for this room, and the window treament decision was a big deal before I could move on. Plan settled.
Let's build a Room, shall we?
Over the next few weeks I will walk you through creating a space. How I go about it, my thought process and share the steps you can make to bring it all together in your own home.
Making the World More Beautiful. One Room at a Time.

Naked Leader
Managing people. That was a goal that I had when I started working. This would reflect that I was advancing in my career. But I had really never taught to manage so I did what I thought was right. Whenever we were given a task, I would push my teams to get results. It was never about people. If they were not aligned, I thought they were incapable. This continued on throughout my career life. It probably got worse as I got promoted and rewarded for delivering the results. In the eyes of my employers, I was a high performer. My partners knew they could rely on me. We always delivered. We would accomplish it at whatever cost. This became self-reinforcing – Do well. Get promoted. Get raises. Not bad.
Failed opportunities. There were a few moments where it may have dawned on me that the way I was doing it was not the best way. I remember one Monday morning where I was about to go through the list of tasks and things we had to focus on for the week. One of the consultants on the team paused and then asked me if I could just ask once in a while how their weekends went. At the time, I didn't get why this was important. Why didn't I see the value in these things?
I'm not proud of these moments. I realized that I only brought a part of myself to work. Was I really that uncaring as a person? Was I really that cold? In my personal life, I was different. It gave me joy to care for my loved ones. Then why was it so hard for me to ask how peoples' weekends went?
Turning point. When I started Awaken Group, one of my mentors did an assessment of me. He looked at me and said, "I've done this thousands of times and you have one of the most dysfunctional childhoods of anyone I know." I paused. I was taken aback in denial, "How could he say this about my family?" That led me on a journey to understand and question why I was so dysfunctional. I started a journey to understand why I felt the need to compartmentalize different parts of my life.
Lessons learned. I learned that the true meaning of integrity is not just telling the truth. I learned that integrity is really about being whole. It is about consistency of actions to what you believe. I realized I was not in integrity with my whole self because I was so compartmentalized. I started to give myself permission to bring more of myself and my heart to the workplace. It wasn't about trying to be a leader. I just tried to be a whole person. I stopped trying and striving. I decided to just be.
Impact. Then something amazing started to happen. As I became more integrated as a human and started to articulate my vision for Awaken Group to transform the world through leaders, people started to be attracted and come. People started to offer to work for free. Totally irrational. Amazing people started showing up and wanting to work together….AND…I started to find joy and beauty at work. Our clients would see the joy and ask us if we like each other. I started to feel blessed and privileged to work with people whom I genuinely cared for and who cared for me.
What is leadership? It is not a goal. As a result of being more whole, I gave myself permission to just be. And the impact seems to have been, that people want to follow. I learned that a big difference between managing and leading was having the freedom to just be myself and bring myself regardless of situation. It was about giving myself permission to be human and starting to exercise that right in every encounter and in every conversation…Leading was about being authentic, real, flawed and vulnerable. It was about having purpose and passion for my vision and sharing that with others with no pretense or no agenda. Integrity is not about having 5 circles or 5 compartments that I'm working with but really bringing those circles together to being a whole person. It's not easy and will take time. It's not about trying to be someone I'm not, but giving myself permission to be who I am. I continue on that journey not focused on trying to 'be a leader' but just being.
Managing vs. leading? Does that mean I don't have to be a manager anymore? Of course not. I still have to mange my teams and my clients. I just choose to do it in a way that is authentic and human and have impact in a way that makes sense and is meaningful to me. Good news is that you don't have to choose to either be a manager or a leader. You can be both. Do it authentically and in a way that is integrated to what you believe and value. It requires a conscious choice.

The Vikings
See also: Early Swedish history, Foundation of Modern Sweden and Varangians
Viking expeditions (blue): going into Russia were Swedish Vikings.
The Swedish Viking Age lasted roughly from the 8th century to the 11th century. It is believed that Swedish Vikings and Gutar mainly travelled east and south, going to Finland, the Baltic countries, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, the Black Sea and even as far as Baghdad. Their routes passed through the Dnieper south to Constantinople, on which they carried out numerous raids. The Byzantine Emperor Theophilos noticed their great skills in war, and invited them to serve as his personal bodyguard, known as the Varangian Guard. The Swedish Vikings, called Rus are believed to be the founding fathers of Kievan Rus'. The Arab traveller Ibn Fadlan described these Vikings as follows:

Weight loss indicates the process of reduction of excess fat stored in the body. Different methods adopted for this process include physical training, medication and fasting. Which is the right method to get the weight under control is a question to be answered after considering the purpose for which he/she attempts to shed those extra pounds from the body.
Those who want to bring down their body weight to its desirable level for health reasons may resort to some medications as suggested by their physician. A lot of medicines that promise weight loss are now available in the market for these people. One has to understand the way these medicines work in the body before he attempts to use them. It is best to consult a qualified medical practitioner. It will help to avoid the medicines that bring undesirable health complications.
Some people go for crash and fasting diet method to achieve their goal. Fasting is a process where an individual deliberately refuses himself all food items excluding fluids or water. Many see fasting as an easy way to reduce maximum pounds from the body within a short period. Crash diets require an individual to follow a specific diet pattern continuously for two to seven days. The impact of fasting and crash diet on the body is something that should be understood by a person who resorts to these methods of weight loss. One has to consider his physical condition before he attempts to fast for the purpose of weight loss.

Auto Accident Pain Relief and Rehabilitation Omaha Chiropractor Treatment
Dr. Zurek knows that without proper Omaha chiropractor treatment, a car accident can lead to significant injuries, including chronic neck pain, back pain and recurring headaches. You don't have to be in a serious accident to sustain serious injuries. In fact, accidents at speeds as slow as 5mph can trigger significant pain. Dr. Bruce Zurek has been providing auto accident injury pain chiropractic relief in Omaha for years. He is passionate about helping patients return to your active lifestyle through a combination of hands-on chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy.
Omaha Chiropractic Management of Auto Injury Pain Without the Need for Medication
Whiplash is the most common auto accident injury. This injury occurs when the force of a rear impact "whips" the spine beyond its normal range of motion, abruptly thrusting it forward and back. This whipping action can lead to a spine misalignment which triggers neck pain, headaches, and migraines. Chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective treatment option for restoring alignment to the spine. Dr. Zurek may also recommend corrective exercises that help bring a full range of mobility back to the neck without aggravating existing injuries.
Back pain is also common following an auto accident injury. Just like with a whiplash injury, the force of an accident's impact can trigger chronic pain. If you are experiencing lower back pain, stiffness or soreness after a car accident, talk to Dr. Zurek. He will conduct a full diagnostic to determine the extent of your injury. His goal is to identify the specific triggers for your pain and take immediate action to relieve this pain.
Zurek Chiropractic Care in Omaha, NE
Chiropractic care in Omaha, NE is an effective drug free rehabilitation option for auto injuries because it targets the cause of your pain, rather than relying on medication to simply cover up pain. Prescription painkillers are great for immediate pain relief but this relief is only short-term. Medication numbs the brain's perception of pain. Once the medication wears off, as you know, the pain reappears. Chiropractic care is different. By targeting the root trigger for your pain we treat your pain at the source.
Zurek Chiropractic's approach to auto accident injury pain relief integrates chiropractic adjustments with complementary treatments. Dr. Zurek finds this integrated approach delivers better results, better pain relief for our patients while safely accelerating the injury recovery process.
If you are struggling with pain following an auto accident injury, don't give up! Omaha Chiropractic care is a safe and effective treatment option for managing this pain without the need for medications.
