...There are three stages of curing in the dough cycle. 1 to 23 hours green dough leave it alone. 24 to 48 hours Great New York Style Pizza. 48 to 72 hours use as pan pizza sourdough crust. This is truly a trick of the trade. Hope that helps. Bubba.
Margherita with an All-Trumps crust. The dough was refrigerated for 8 days. Tasted great.
Peter,....To try a four day fermented dough would mean I would need to keep my pizza prep fridge on besides my deli case. I really dont want to do that because of electric bills. When I freeze any doughs they are okay, but not exactly like when they are not frozen. I can tell the difference in how the pizzas look from frozen doughs, but the pizzas taste the same.Norma
Make your dough as normal, ball, then freeze. When you are on the road, you can pack them with some cool packs to help if a cooler is not available, then set em out to rise and impress the crowd. Good luck

There'll be more on the lineup in my preview, but the Jackets don't have a "fourth line".
There are no grinders on this team. No real physical players to play 4 or 5 minutes per game.
The "fourth" line will play 12 minutes per game.
No idea why my article isn't on the front page. Says it's published and on the front page in the Writer's Area.
Anyway, here's a link.

Nvidia Corp.'s latest beta drivers include support of what can possibly the company's next-generation graphics processing units (GPUs) made using 28nm process technology. The actual chips are projected to officially emerge next year, but Nvidia may easily be tailoring its software for the new hardware.
The latest unreleased Nvidia ForceWare 285-series drivers contain mentioning of GeForce 610M and GeForce GT 630M graphics adapters for notebooks, according to a news-story by VR-Zone web-site. It is believed that the new GPUs belong to GK100-series chips that are based on the code-named Kepler micro-architecture.
Nvidia said earlier this year that it plans to test-drive its next-generation Kepler graphics processing unit (GPU) this year and introduce the new chips commercially in 2012.
Kepler is Nvidia's next-generation graphics processor architecture that is projected to bring considerable performance improvements and will likely make the GPU more flexible in terms of programmability, which will speed up development of applications that take advantage of GPGPU (general purpose processing on GPU) technologies. Some of the technologies that Nvidia promised to introduce in Kepler and Maxwell (the architecture that will succeed Kepler) include virtual memory space (which will allow CPUs and GPUs to use the "unified" virtual memory), pre-emption, enhance the ability of GPU to autonomously process the data without the help of CPU and so on. Entry-level chips may not get all the features that Kepler architecture will have to often.
"[Our experience with 28nm] is looking really good, it is looking much better than our experience with 40nm. It is just a comprehensive, across-the-board engagement between TSMC and ourselves making sure that we are ready for production ramp when the time comes. So I feel really good about 28nm," said Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive officer of Nvidia.

On the Occasion of Deerfield Academy Commencement
Deerfield, Massachusetts, US
28 May 2006
It is a tremendous pleasure to be back at Deerfield among all of you. And students, I'm honoured to help celebrate your Commencement. In life, this is one of the rare moments - not so much a turning point, but a pausing point when you can stop, look back at real success, and think about the path ahead.
Allow me, first, to congratulate some who have really been looking forward to this day, from that first Deerfield visit, through all the lessons learned, term time and vacation time, papers and reports and college applications, the worries and the joys, the late-night emails, the love and support and all those phone calls. Deerfield parents, please accept our respect and thanks.Men and Women of the Class of 2006,
This is your day. And I am here to welcome you to a remarkable community; the community of Deerfield alumni. You will find us around the world. And each and every one of us knows what it means to look up to the hills and be part of this experience and school.
You learn when you come here, that a great institution is not just a place. It is the people who give this school its continuity and character; its unique spirit of community and excellence. For you, as for all of us, that experience does not end today. It simply begins a new phase. The Deerfield ethos is for a lifetime. And as you carry that spirit forward, you will shape the future more than you know.
Your class comes of age in a world of change - in global economics and politics, in human knowledge and capability. That's a reality my own class is very familiar with. In 1980, when we graduated, the Cold War was in the daily headlines; now, it's a chapter in the history books. Technologies that were cutting edge just a short time ago, are, today, in museums. You know, the first IBM PC wasn't even on the market until 1981. It held 256 kilobytes of memory. Kilobytes. All the technologies we take for granted today - cell phones, laptops, global communications - were barely on the horizon. And I can guarantee you, in a few years, you and I will be working with whole new capabilities and facing new challenges.
How do we prepare for that kind of future? In Jordan, in America, in every other country, it starts with a command of the basics - a foundation of knowledge and skills. There's an old saying in my part of the world that knowledge is the best kind of wealth: it's easy to carry; nobody can take it away from you; and it has value wherever you go. And let me add, contrary to what it felt like, when you were studying for exams your brain cannot over fill. The more we know, the better we can understand what's coming in business and technology; in the environment; in global affairs and world civilisations. The message is, keep learning.
But in a dynamic, diverse world, success requires more. To thrive throughout your life, you must be prepared to think your way through change and growth and challenge. The best schools foster critical thinking and a restless curiosity. And strong ethics - respect for other people and other viewpoints; honesty; responsibility; compassion. At Deerfield, we've all heard it said: "keep it on a high level" - and "finish up strong." That sense of character, that heart, is what you bring to the future. And it has never been more important.
That's because, for all that has changed, some things haven't changed enough. Vast numbers of people across our globe still suffer poverty, hardship, and relentless conflict. In my own region, too many lives, for too many years, have been shattered by violence and hopelessness. I can't stand here today without thinking about students in Iraq, Palestine, and Israel whose futures have been derailed by years of conflict.
My friends,
No person, no nation, can ignore the hopes of others around the world. We are tied by an inseparable kinship and shared dreams. Your fellow students everywhere want what you want - justice and safety and opportunity to build lives of prosperity and peace. And as long as these hopes are unanswered, our whole world pays a terrible price.
But, friends, we have choices. We can turn away from "us and them" thinking and all the barriers and stagnation this will bring. We can work together to build the peace people need to live in security and confidence. We can expand opportunity and win-win development. And we can open a new dialogue between faiths and cultures, in genuine acceptance and respect.
The job for tomorrow's leaders is to find the opportunities that lie within the challenges. And each and every one of you will play a vital role. More than ever, people need to understand each other - our common bonds and interests, as well as our different histories and, sometimes, views. Deerfield Academy has made a huge contribution, especially in reaching out to the Arab world. And now there will be a new opportunity to work together, as King's Academy opens its campus in Jordan. We wanted to bring the Deerfield model to the Middle East - a co-ed boarding school where faculty and students are close, academic studies encourage great work, and life is enriched with competitive sports, lively arts, and real community service.
We are deeply grateful for the support and encouragement of so many people in the Deerfield family, especially the great Class of 1980. And we look forward to a continuing special relationship between the schools. Indeed, when King's first term starts, we have just the right headmaster to welcome the students - a superb educator and great leader, Eric Widmer.
I guess Eric isn't the retiring type - and let me say, we are heartily thankful. Sir, we look forward to welcoming you and Meera to Jordan. And I hope that every one of you will pay us a visit as well.
And let me say a word to faculty and staff. Deerfield graduates are the living legacies of people who inspired us, and believed in us, and were there for us. I was in one of the first Deerfield classes taught by a great young teacher named Tedwin Littman. He went on to encourage and motivate decades of students. His loss this year cannot take this legacy away. Our prayers are with his family and friends.
Ask any Deerfield grad, and you will hear about the teachers who made a difference in our lives. And by the way, not every great teacher was in the classroom. We have all received a few life-lessons from people like Norm and Dottie in the Stock Room. To every one of you, thank you for all you give.
Here in Deerfield, and at King's Academy too, the spirit of community and achievement will continue. But in just as real a way, the spirit continues in every graduate who reaches out to make a connection and make a difference in our world.
In a sense, that's the idea behind the Green Key tradition - a hand of friendship, student to student, and the chance to mentor others in your turn. Now you graduates will be Green Keys in a larger world. Each, in your own way, will choose what doors you open. And each of you will choose whether you hold those doors open for others as well as yourselves. Carry the Deerfield spirit forward. Choose great things. And believe in your power to make a difference. The century is yours.
Congratulations and may God bless you all.

Perhaps there's hope
To the Editor:
Since the last election, the country has taken a sharp turn to the left. U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta can be remembered as the man who changed the meaning of "women" forever. From child-raising and being a mother, wife and homemaker to a woman in a foxhole with men doing our killing for us. I thought we fought to protect our families and the American way of life, and not to drag the family to the front lines.
Gay marriage is to be protected so people like Elton John and his partner can hire surrogate women to bear their children, as reported in this paper.
Abortion rights are to be protected, although that takes many more children's lives than all the terrible school shootings.
Disarm the people so only police and criminals will have guns, making it easier to control the people.
Marijuana could be legalized and even assisted suicide in some places.
I fear for future generations who turn on the television and have a hard time finding anything but extreme violence and sex.
It seems the word "sin" has disappeared from the vocabulary.
It is reported that 49 percent of the people voted against this administration, so perhaps if we don't compromise our values, there still may be some hope.
Maurice Kellander,

Why I write songs
Some people might think that you write songs for the same reason that you perform songs. And for some that might be true. But not for me. I sing and perform because I love to and it's incredibly fun and people seem to really enjoy it. I have always enjoyed performing other peoples songs because there are a lot of great songs out there. As for writing though, I do that for different reasons.

U.S. Navy Lt. Bradley Snyder, who competed at the 2012 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte before winning three medals at the Paralympic Games in London, will light the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony of the 2013 Warrior Games.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Today, the United States Olympic Committee announced that Navy Lt. Bradley Snyder will be the honorary torchbearer for the Opening Ceremony of the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte in Colorado Springs, Colo. Approximately 260 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans will compete in the fourth annual Warrior Games utilizing facilities at both the U.S. Olympic Training Center and the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The competition, hosted by the USOC, is also supported by the Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, USO, Fisher House Foundation, AT&T, BP, Budweiser and the Semper Fi Fund, and will take place May 11-16, 2013.
"I am humbled by the opportunity to still be a part of something very near and dear to my heart," said Lt. Snyder. "The Warrior Games have already had an impact on so many lives, and I am truly honored to represent the U.S. Navy/Coast Guard in broadening the event."
The torch relay will be a brief procession that will include the passing of the torch from one athlete from each service branch to another, culminating in the hand off to Lt. Snyder, who will light the cauldron -ceremonially signaling the official start of the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte. The Opening Ceremony is at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.
Lt. Snyder lost his vision during a tour in Afghanistan when an IED exploded in Sept. 2011. He competed in the 2012 Warrior Games, and later that year, he went on to qualify in swimming for the London 2012 Paralympic Games where he won two gold medals and silver. Snyder won the men's 400 meter freestyle (S11) on the exact one year anniversary of his injury (Sept. 7).
"I can think of no better person than Lt. Brad Snyder to act as the honorary torch bearer for the Opening Ceremony of the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte," said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun. "Lt. Snyder truly shows that what happens here over six days in Colorado Springs can have a lasting impact on our wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans. Last May, he was a competitor at the Warrior Games, less than a year after losing his sight in an IED explosion in Afghanistan. He joins us this May as a three-time medalist at the Paralympic Games."
Please note that the Opening Ceremony is a ticketed event and is not open to the public. However, all competitions are free and open to the public.

Comments about Learning Resources Scrambled Word Building™ Activity Book: Grade 1:
The words in the book are harder than those my son has learned in school, but that has actually helped him build confidence because he applies the sounds he knows to longer and more complex words. He enjoys making his own words and always seeks to make more than the blank spaces provided!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great book for teaching!
By mtiffany
from Washington, KS
This is one of the best reproducible books that I have come across. I have used every page of this book and the second and third grade editions. I teach students with special needs. My beginning reading group does the exercises as a whole group using the pocket chart (I guide the lesson). My older students who need to develop word-sense work individually with the reproducible sheets and the cards in the back. This is the third year I have used these resources, and I am extremely pleased.

Friends of St. Edmond Ball is hugely important
Catholic education has been an important part of life in Fort Dodge almost since the town was founded. The first Catholic school got under way in 1862. The 151 years since have witnessed many changes and stupendous progress. The impressive educational complex that is today's St. Edmond is a treasure admired and valued by the whole community.
The world of the 21st century is vastly different from the America of the Civil War era. Even so, the dedication of the Catholic community to the enhancement of its educational system, which was robust from the very start, remains a powerful force in our day. That's a commitment that deserves admiration and helps build a stronger Fort Dodge.
Schools are an expensive proposition. Privately funded educational enterprises can prosper only when those who prize their special qualities have the creativity and commitment to generate the monies required.
Here in Fort Dodge, the Friends of St. Edmond Ball is an especially important example of what innovative volunteers can achieve when motivated by an important goal.
This year, the many stalwarts who have made the ball legendary celebrate more than a quarter century of dedication to an important cause. They help keep Catholic education a vibrant force in Fort Dodge and the surrounding communities.
The annual fundraising event has been a key part of the support strategy for the Fort Dodge Catholic School System since the first ball in 1984 generated a net of $50,000. Its subsequent success has been nothing short of spectacular.
Over the years, the dollar goals have grown increasingly more ambitious. The success in reaching aggressive targets has been impressive. The grand total for the first 29 years is just short of $5 million. In 2012, the event raised more than $235,000.
When the many advocates of St. Edmond gather Saturday at the Best Western Starlite Village Inn & Suites for the 2013 incarnation of the ball, it seems likely they will mark the event's 30th anniversary with a truly memorable display of support. Tickets are still available and can be purchased through the St. Edmond business office or at the door. Chairing the 2013 ball are Dean and Dana Oswald and Todd and Amanda Baker. As in years past, the evening will feature both live and silent auctions. The auction items can be viewed on the St. Edmond website – www.st-edmond.com.
The Messenger applauds the hard work and generosity that have built the Friends of St. Edmond Ball into an amazing annual tradition.
Good luck in making 2013 a success story that will be remembered for many years to come.

The effects of bilingualism on stuttering during late childhood

- 2Department of Language and Communication Science, City University, London, UK
- Peter Howell, Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK; p.howell{at}ucl.ac.uk
- Accepted 24 June 2008
- Published Online First 9 September 2008
Objectives: To examine stuttering by children speaking an alternative language exclusively (LE) or with English (BIL) and to study onset of stuttering, school performance and recovery rate relative to monolingual speakers who stutter (MONO).
Design: Clinical referral sample with supplementary data obtained from speech recordings and interviews.
Setting: South-East England, 1999–2007.
Participants: Children aged 8–12 plus who stuttered (monolingual and bilingual) and fluent bilingual controls (FB).
Main outcome measures: Participants' stuttering history, SATS scores, measures of recovery or persistence of stuttering.
Results: 69 (21.8%) of 317 children were bilingual. Of 38 children who used a language other than English at home, 36 (94.7%) stuttered in both languages. Fewer LE (15/38, 39.5%) than BIL (23/38, 60.5%) children stuttered at first referral to clinic, but more children in the fluent control sample were LE (28/38, 73.7%) than BIL (10/38, 26.3%). The association between stuttering and bilingual group (LE/BIL) was significant by χ2 test; BIL speakers have more chance of stuttering than LE speakers. Age at stuttering onset and male/female ratio for LE, BIL and MONO speakers were similar (4 years 9 months, 4 years 10 months and 4 years 3 months, and 4.1:1, 4.75:1 and 4.43:1, respectively). Educational achievement was not affected by bilingualism relative to the MONO and FB groups. The recovery rate for the LE and MONO controls together (55%) was significantly higher by χ2 test than for the BIL group (25%).
Conclusions: BIL children had an increased risk of stuttering and a lower chance of recovery from stuttering than LE and MONO speakers.

Third night running after a spell away from Oolong trying to understand Sheng.
1st Night - Tea Habitat's 1998 Mei Zhan
Coming back to DC, I thought I knew what to expect but this was unfamiliar and had none of the Xiang I was looking forward to. After getting accustomed to what I was drinking I began to enjoy it. It reminded me of a well aged Dry Oloroso sherry, with a lean towards a mid roasted yan Cha. 3rd pot onwards I was really enjoying it.
Last night - Tea Habitat's 2008 Wu Dong Huang Zhi
Huang Zhi is one of my favourites and this was as good as they come, pot after (100 ml CZ) pot of floral, yet woodsy, invigorating and refreshing.
I can see why some refer to Huang Zhi as Orange Flower fragrance, but there is a lot more besides.
I have taken to stuffing my little CZ pots 2/3 full so that I can start the session with several quickly infused brews. So after 3 years and more of weighing everything I am adjusting to feel, but when the need arises to use my larger pots (200 ml plus) I think I shall go back to the scales.
The Huang zhi began as a fairly delicate drink until I upped the times, and when in a rush to finish off the session by exhausting the leaves I upped the times longer than was needed a prickle of attention entered the result in a pleasant way.
Tonight Tea Habitat's 2007 Ba Xian
This is the 2nd batch I have had from Imen and it is one of my favourites when i am not looking for powerful Yan Cha flavours. Immediately I detected the sweet violets that so caught my attention 2 years ago, but I have never seen anyone else use the association so opened Imen's pages to see what she said
This is likened to the Mi Lan group of DCs, honey and Orchids - well subsequent infusions saw me identifying the honey, but I am not familiar with Orchid fragrance - so I shall stick with Violets but refer to them as honeyed rather than sweet
The honey and fragrance lasts on and on through all the infusions.
I started my DC journey several years ago (before I found Tea Habitat) and was unimpressed with Mi lan, Xue Lan, Zhi Lan and Yue Lan
maybe I was too much of a novice at DC brewing, maybe they were poorer commercial grade teas, I enjoyed them enough to persevere with Dan Cong and a selection from Dragon TeaHouse that included Almond, Ginger and Big Dark leaf soon had me hooked. A big white leaf from Hou De and a couple of others dragged me in further and then I found Tea Habitat, still shunning all the Orchid Xiangs I have never looked back.
I do tend too infuse my Dcs a little longer than other people I like plenty of body rather than simply fragrance, my initial forays into DC with Lan Xiangs may have been too lightly infused. But now that I know one of my favourites is likened to Orchid, it must be time to try some top quality Dcs of Orchid fragrance.

Entry for that is $10 and you can enter that as many times as you want.
If you want any more info, or you want squares, I can be PM'ed on here or emailed at
Thanks in advance

I've previously talked about automatic differentiation here a few times. One of the standard arguments for using automatic differentiation is that it is more accurate than numeric differentiation implemented via divided differences. We can approximate f'(x) by using (f(x)-f(y))/(x-y) with a value of y near x. Accuracy requires y to be close to x, and that requires computing the difference between two numbers that are very close. But subtracting close numbers is itself a source of numerical error when working with finite precision. So you're doomed to error no matter how close you choose x and y to be.
However, the accuracy problem with computing divided differences can itself be fixed. In fact, we can adapt the methods behind automatic differentiation to work with divided differences too.
(This paragraph can be skipped. I just want to draw a parallel with what I said here. Firstly I need to correct the title of that article. I should have said it was about *divided differences*, not *finite differences*. The idea in that article was that the notion of a divided difference makes sense for types because for a large class of function you can define divided differences without using either differencing or division. You just need addition and multiplication. That's the same technique I'll be using here. I think it's neat to see the same trick being used in entirely different contexts.)
The Direct Approach
Firstly, here's a first attempt at divided differencing:
> diff0 f x y = (f x - f y)/(x - y)We can try it on the function f:
> f x = (3*x+1/x)/(x-2/x)diff0 f 1 1.000001 gives -14.0000350000029. Repeating the calculation with an arbitrary precision package (I used CReal) gives -14.000035000084000. We are getting nowhere near the precision we'd like when working with double precision floating point.
The Indirect Approach
Automatic differentiation used a bunch of properties of differentiation: linearity, the product rule and the chain rule. Similar rules hold for divided differences. First let me introduce some notation. If f is a function then I'll use f(x) for normal function application. But I'll use f[x,y] to mean the divided difference (f(x)-f(y))/(x-y). We have
(f+g)[x,y] = f[x,y]+g[x,y]
(fg)[x,y] = f(x)g[x,y]+f[x,y]g(y)
h[x,y] = f[g(x),g(y)]g[x,y] when h(x)=f(g(x))
We can modify the product rule to make it more symmetrical though it's not strictly necessary:
(fg)[x,y] = 0.5(f(x)+f(y))g[x,y]+0.5f[x,y] (g(x)+g(y))
(I got that from this paper by Kahan.)
In each case, given f evaluated at x and y, and its divided difference at [x, y], and the same for g, we can compute the corresponding quantities for the sum and product of f and g. So we can store f(x), f(y) and f[x,y] together in a single structure:
> data D a = D { fx :: a, fy :: a, fxy :: a } deriving (Eq, Show, Ord)And now we can implement arithmetic on these structures using the rules above:
> instance Fractional a => Num (D a) where > fromInteger n = let m = fromInteger n in D m m 0 > D fx fy fxy + D gx gy gxy = D (fx+gx) (fy+gy) (fxy+gxy) > D fx fy fxy * D gx gy gxy = D (fx*gx) (fy*gy) (0.5*(fxy*(gx+gy) + (fx+fy)*gxy)) > negate (D fx fy fxy) = D (negate fx) (negate fy) (negate fxy)I'll leave as an exercise the proof that this formula for division works:
> instance Fractional a => Fractional (D a) where > fromRational n = let m = fromRational n in D m m 0 > D fx fy fxy / D gx gy gxy = D (fx/gx) (fy/gy) (0.5*(fxy*(gx+gy) - (fx+fy)*gxy)/(gx*gy))For the identity function, i, we have i(x)=x, i(y)=y and i[x,y]=1. So for any x and y, the evaluation of the identity function at x, y and [x,y] is represented as D x y 1. To compute divided differences for any function f making use of addition, subtraction and division we need to simply apply f to D x y 1. We pick off the divided difference from the fxy element of the structure. Here's our replacement for diff0.
> diff1 f x y = fxy $ f (D x y 1)This is all mimicking the construction for automatic differentiation.
Evaluating diff0 f 1 1.000001 gives -14.000035000083997. Much closer to the result derived using CReal. One neat thing about this is that we have a function that's well defined even in the limit as x tends to y. When we evaluate diff1 f 1 1 we get the derivative of f at 1.
I thought that this was a novel approach but I found it sketched at the end of this paper by Reps and Rall. (Though their sketch is a bit vague so it's not entirely clear what they intend.)
Both the Kahan paper and the Reps and Rall papers give some applications of computing divided diferences this way.
It's not clear how to deal with the standard transcendental functions. They have divided differences that are very complex compared to their derivatives.
There is a sense in which divided differences are uncomputable(!) and that what we've had to do is switch from an extensional description of functions to an intensional description to compute them. I'll write about this some day.
Note that the ideas here can be extended to higher order divided differences and that there are some really nice connections with type theory. I'll try to write about these too.
Update: I found another paper by Reps and Rall that uses precisely the method described here.

with Macadamia Ricotta Filling and Cherry Tomato Marinara (raw)
If you don't have a juice capable of homogenizing nuts, you could try using store bought raw Cashew-Macadamia nut butter. It has to be thick though, otherwise the ricotta mixture will be too runny and will leak out of the manicotti rolls.
I tend to use cherry or grape tomatoes in all of my recipes, except during heirloom tomato season. They taste the best and don't have that mealy texture that most tomatoes have (even the organic ones) especially in winter.

Well, my first encounter with The Beatles was through my mother. She was born in 1943, and so was there when it happened. I wasn't born until 1982, but she had some stuff of theirs - specifically, she had the "With The Beatles" LP, which I played to death. Lots of good stuff on it, although a few that I don't like. Then, in 1994, just after christmas, she got me Past Masters 2, and they had me. What a load of quality songs! Then in 1998, when we got a new computer, it came with all The Beatles' stuff on the hard drive!!!!! Needless to say, I played that to death - much to the annoyance of my mother - and then the last couple of summers, I collected the albums on CD, and on my laptop, which I bought a couple of years ago, I have a program whereby I can copy tracks off CDs onto my hard drive. Out of the 1073 songs I have copied onto my hard drive, 150 of them are Beatles - including both versions of Let It Be and Across The Universe. Needless to say, The Beatles have more songs on my laptop than anybody else! And, I might add, the second most prolific act on my hard drive is . . . Paul McCartney (& Wings)! John Lennon only comes in at 9th place, and George only has one solo song on there as it stands currently . . . still, give it all time, eh!
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

Good minty shampoo, but didn't help my dandruff
Publié par Mary-B333 le Oct 03, 2015
I bought this shampoo because I read from a blogger that this product cured her husband's dandruff. I've had dandruff for 2 years, and nothing has worked for me so far, and unfortunately, this didn't either. It is a great shampoo that's very foamy, cleansing, not too harsh and I like the thick gel texture. It just really didn't help with my dandruff. It also kind of reminds me of Intelligent Nutrients' shampoo, because it's very minty, but this is much cheaper. Also, though it does have that strong mint scent, it isn't tingly or cooling on your scalp.***Check out my page for more product reviews.

Makes my hair feel strong and shiny

Though as with all natural sort of shampoos can be a bit drying. This shampoo is great, the texture is a bit weird (very runny) and it doesn't really lather. Very expensive for the amount. Since it doesn't really spread on the hair/lather I feel like I need to use quite a lot. :(

text: Hi John, Sounds like just a valve adjustment (valve lash). A true "valve job" requires removal of the cylinder head and a heck of a lot more than 4 hrs labor. On a 4,000 mile used bike, the statement that "the valves were just maintained" leaves a lot of room for interpretation. On one hand, it could mean that the 10,000km (6250mile) valve adjustment was done early, and recently, at 4k miles. My experience tells me that this is unlikely. No one does (expensive) maintenance early, especially if they are selling something. On the other hand, "just maintained" could truly mean nothing more than the fact that all "scheduled maintenance" was up to date. In the case of a used bike w/ 4,000 miles, this would mean that the valves were adjusted at the 800km (500mile) interval, but had not yet been adjusted at the 10,000km (6250mile) interval, since the bike did not have that many miles on it yet. If this were the case, your 18,000 mile valve adjustment would have been almost 3 full intervals overdue (6250, 12,500, 18750). If that's the case, its no wonder that the mechanic said that your values were way off. Frankly, you're lucky that you didn't burn any valves. Just out of curiosity, did they record the before and after clearance values and give them to you with the bill? They should have. Also, how many shims did they charge you for and did they give you back the used ones that were no longer in use? Bill in Yardley, PA wkdenton at verizon.net PAMSP RiderCoach ----- Original Message ----- From: "john leonard" <jlmdx at hotmail.com> Hello Bill, I don't know exactly what they did with the values but they billed me 4 hours for the values and 30 minutes for the carbs. The bike has only 18K on it. I purchased it with 4K, and at that time they told me the valves were just maintained.

If the United States doesn't have an effective inland waterway system, soybeans and other commodities won't get to ports – and to overseas markets – efficiently, compromising U.S. farmers' competitiveness.
A recent study funded by the United Soybean Board's (USB's) Global Opportunities program in coordination with the Soy Transportation Coalition examined inefficiencies in the U.S. waterway system and also offered potential solutions.
The U.S. inland waterways serve as important and economical routes to transport U.S. soy to global markets. Fifty-nine percent of total 2011 soybean exports passed through Mississippi River ports in southern Louisiana. Of those soybeans, 89 percent passed through the locks on U.S. inland waterways on the way to the ports.

Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
Yay, my Verdant order arrived! Laoshan black, anxi fo shou, autumn harvest laoshan green (I think my bff will like this more than me, based on sniffing the leaves), laoshan village chai, ginger sage, chocolate phoenix chai, sample of jasmine flower.
So far? Fancy teas = interesting and require deep thought. :)
I'm drinking the chocolate phoenix (i did eenie meenie miney moe!), and it's so far not my favourite. I'm going to try the laoshan village chai during my next study break.
I got a package from Starfevre with 3 teas from republic of tea, a raspberry rose hibiscus, a hibiscus key lime, and a hibiscus vanilla apple. I really like the vanilla apple, haven't gotten to trying the others yet though. <3 Starfevre :)
Laoshan Black haaaaas arrived~~~~ Just hope I didn't overhype it too much in my head. xD Gonna get some brewing. It came with a sample, Flowering Jasmine Green. Have no idea what I'm going to do with it though, 'cause I don't want to toss it, but I have nothing to brew it in… Guess I'll just hold onto it just in case I get something suitable someday.
I got the flowering tea as a sample too, and I haven't figured out what to brew it in either! I guess that's why people buy glass mugs.
Thanks for the suggestions. :) I guess you get swept up in the tea stores telling you you need a blooming pot, haha. I'll rummage around in my cupboard and see if I can find something. I really would like to try it; it'd be two firsts. My first flowering tea, and my first jasmine. xD
That flowering tea is pretty tasty, but it's not really a jasmine tea. It's a bit misnamed in my opinion. You should definitely seek out some jasmine pearls if you want a real intro to jasmine!
Ah okay, thanks for the suggestion. :) Is there a particular vendor you recommend?
Teavivre's are great and I believe you can get a sample to try so you don't have to invest too much. :)
so not fair.
I'm pretty sure my Verdant order is in the mail box, but the key is not working! Angst!
I got my DavidsTea order today… yay, Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble!
I'm also obsessively tracking my 52teas order of the S'mores Genmaicha… it was accepted in Wichita on the 13th, and hasn't updated at all since then. I'm a little bit sad about this. :/
I got my first ever Butiki order today. Very excited. Quite impressed with how quickly this got to me. I got:
Almond Indulgence 1 ounce
Pumpkin Creme Brulee 1 ounce
Tamarind Pop 1 ounce
Pistachio Ice Cream 1 ounce
Cantaloupe & Cream 1/2 ounce
Coconut Cream Pie Rooibos 1 ounce
Good Morning Sunshine 1 ounce
Plus samples of Blueberry Purple, Organic Roasted Yerba Mate, and Maple Pecan Oolong. Thanks Stacy, everything looks great.
Finally received my Milk Oolong from TeaCuppa.com after over 1 month…YAY! Also received the Russian Tea Sampler (set of 5 tins) from Kusmi Tea as a surprise from my husband. Wooooopeeee, More Tea!!!
3 days ago, my steep city samples!
My swap from yappychappy.
My swap from Ysaurella arrived, as did my swap from Courtney! (so much for getting to 150 lol)
YAY for exciting mail though! woot!

What do you guys do for insulating your truck kennels over the winter?
I don't have a fancy dog box or anything, just a basic plastic crate in the back of a covered truck, so there's not much insulation to begin with. I know that plenty companies make the covers, but I'm curious if there are other options. I've thought about putting down a few inches of hay so the pup can make a nest; good idea, bad idea, something else?
Any help is great. Thanks gentlemen.
-God Bless

I have a topper on my truck and use a wire mesh crate. Put a piece of old carpeting or two down in the bottom over the metal tray (provided not a chewer) and cover the crate with a wool blanket. Just make sure pup is as dry as possible before putting them in. He's ridden back there when its been -15°F with no problems. He has it nice and toasty in no time.

Yeah Im with mugger on this one. I dont have a capper on my truck I just wrap my plastic kennel in an old army wool blanket and have another inside the kennel. No issues with warmth just all my damn strapping and bungies are a pain. With a cap on yours you wouldnt have to do all that craziness. Hoping to get a cap this year for the back, if I find a good enough deal.
The hay may sound like a good idea, but any moisture in it and the hay may start to mold on ya. Thats no good to have happen.

Fans should respect Cole - Gerrard
Steven Gerrard has urged England fans to "respect" the achievement of defender Ashley Cole, who will reach the 100-cap mark if he plays in Wednesday's friendly against Brazil at Wembley.
- Related Content
- Profiles
Skipper Gerrard believes Cole has at times been the best left-back in the world and England's most consistent performer during his time with the national side.
Cole has not always been the most popular player with England supporters, but Gerrard wants fans to acknowledge his contribution over the past decade when he steps out against the Brazilians.
Gerrard, who won his 100th cap against Sweden in November, said: "I think it's very important the Wembley crowd respect what Ashley has done for England.
"I think if the fans take a moment and have a think of what Ashley Cole has given in an England shirt over the last 10 or 12 years, it has been phenomenal.
"He's probably been the most consistent player I've played with during my time.
"It's going to be Ashley's night, if he's picked to play, and the players are certainly going to show him a hell of a lot of support. Let's hope the fans do as well."
Gerrard admits players get used to criticism and use it as a driving force.
He said: "Yes, of course, there are times when you wonder if the criticism is all worth it. But players are thick skinned. We can take criticism off you lads (the media) and the supporters.
"There's no problem with that at all and sometimes it actually helps drive you on to prove people wrong and prove you are good enough to be at this level.
"Ashley is big enough and strong enough to take any criticism that comes his way. But I think anyone here or in that ground on Wednesday night can't take that away from Ashley.
"He deserves to be a 100-cap player, there's no doubt about it. I think there's been years over the last 12 when Ashley Cole has been the best left-back in the world.
"We've been lucky to have him. I think the supporters realise that as well and let's hope they give him a fantastic reception.
"It was a great feeling for me to get to 100 caps in the last game so I know what Ashley is going to be feeling, and credit to him."
Gerrard is relishing the clash with Brazil but admits he already has one eye on next month's vital World Cup qualifier with Montenegro in Podgorica.
England drew 2-2 on the same ground in a Euro 2012 qualifier when Wayne Rooney was sent off.
Gerrard said: "To play Brazil at Wembley is fantastic but there's a little bit in the mind that's already waiting for the Montenegro game because it is going to be a key game.
"You can't get away from that. With all due respect to San Marino (the game before), that's a match we should win comfortably, but Montenegro is going to be a massive game.
"If we can keep everybody fit then I'm really confident."
However, Gerrard added: "I think there is a lot of hard work to do in the group still, that's for sure. We are certainly not underestimating where we are and how much there is to do.
"But if we get three points in Montenegro it puts us back in the driving seat. I think Ukraine have had a couple of disappointing results, which have helped us.
"At the moment it's looking like a two-horse race. If we can beat them (Montenegro) in their back yard it's going to be good. We don't want to go into a play-off."

Pizza looks delicious, Deb! I gotta find me some of that mike's hot honey.
Craig has the recipe...
There is no secret, just simmer some chili flakes in honey and add a little vinegar to taste. Cook the vinegar in the honey long enough for the harsh taste to subside.
... no secret anymore! thanks, craig!

In November, it is again time for this convention. We have a delegation from our council, voted on at the annual meeting in April. They will travel to Houston for the convention. The host council, Houston, assures us that this will be a once in a lifetime experience.
During the convention they will also have a girl leadership institute. At the last convention this happened ahead of the convention so those girls who were older could actually be convention delegates. This time the girl leadership institute runs concurrent with the convention. We have 10 spaces available for girls 13 and older to attend this institute. The dates are November 9-12. The cost is around $1,000. We do have some limited scholarship funds available. If you know of an older girl who would like to attend, please contact me.
If you are interested in the proposed changes for the convention, we will be posting those on our website and welcome your comments. As convention delegates, they should reflect the views of the membership of this council. Comments are forwarded on to our convention delegation.

A passionate advocate for realism in film, he insists that his fellow actors execute their own stunts, too–albeit while wearing plenty of padding. His later films include outtakes of his on-set accidents run under the closing credits. He cannot get insurance in the U.S.

When I first met PlaneSense founder and CEO George Antoniadis last October, I was struck by his effusive manner and passion for his fractional-aircraft-share company. During our recent interview at PlaneSense headquarters in Portsmouth, N.H., I saw another side of him: laser-focused, serious and smart.

International piano sensation Lang Lang grew up on a Chinese air force base where his father played in the military band. He doesn't remember much about the airplanes there, but he does recall watching American television cartoons, with their animation often mated to classical music, and credits them for his desire to learn piano.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Cracking Day OutIn full: The weather held off, the run route was glorious. The marshalls very cheery. The runners were happy. Very nice Sunday morning run. The tracks were pretty decent and some great views.My Garmin measured 10.05 km so Kevin I suggest you send yours back to Garmin as faulty. Or maybe understand fractals and why plotting straight lines between points rather than the radius results in a shorter measurement.TriJim - the organisers allow changes up to 2-weeks before the event normally. It is clearly published. Note most other races (VLM etc) don't allow changes at all - ever!Sometimes people complain about relatively trivial stuff. I got a Mars at the end of the run but would have preferred a KitKat with Champagne, and a helicopter ride of the route - but I didn't complain about it.Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Awesome!In full: Arrived, parked (quickly), 100 yards to registration, got number, queued for loo (<3 mins), all sorted. Went back to car to wait for race start it was so quick to get everything done!Race route well marked, well marshalled, well catered for.Unique route with Top Gear track included, although bulk is on Surrey's green and verdant lanes.Great day out, super friendly event organiser, couldn't really have asked for more.Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: Awesome day out - not a race as such - but well organised and incredible for the money £3 for LDWA members and £5 for others.Date of review: January 15, 2012
In short: Hills, glorius hills, and fantastic viewsIn full: What a fantastic day out, helped by the weather and the views. Hilly and makes the legs ache. The first leg is very steep but the rest is all v.runable. The second leg has a run alongside the A24 (plans afoot to remove this bit according to race director) but to be honest I was glad to have some flattish tarmac to recover a bit. The third leg has the most fantastic views.The medal is a piece of quality and thank goodness no t-shirt (I just don't need another).Great RaceDate of review: November 27, 2011
In short: Well organised 10km with slightly hilly profile, good value - great viewsIn full: Local 10km race (ran whilst on holiday). Good value at £10 for on the day entry, money raised goes to local school that organises the race. Thank goodness no t-shirt (I don't need them and prefer the lower cost). Nice tea and cake post event.Course climbs steadily for 4k, with a loop of tracks at the top and returns down a fast steady road downhill before turning back into Pickering. Last km slightly uphill but only just.Water at around 4k and 6k (same station passed twice as loops cross over).Some of the views are worth stopping to admire (or go back later)Date of review: October 23, 2011
In short: Fantastic route, great views, well organised (and great weather)In full: Great new route from Denbies, plenty of aid stations, well stocked with PowerBar, jelly babies etc. Plenty of marshalls in the right places and nice to see them cheering runners on. A good number of supporters out on route as well for trail run. Weather was awesome.Got to borrow a nice t-shirt from the Gore stand to try in the run. Got a nice massage post race from FineFettle. Got given a bottle of beer. Couldn't have had a better day out.Date of review: October 9, 2011
In short: Awesome run course, what a viewIn full: OK so the course isn't for PBs but I'd rather run this than a trading estate every day of the week. Mildly hilly trail run on good tracks with great views. Loads of cheering marshals. Windy, warm and dry made for a superb run.Quick dispensing of drink, t-shirt and chocolate. Don't need a goody bag of rubbish (and didn't really need a t-shirt). Great massage for a small donation to charity.Well done all, thank you for getting up early and finishing late. Putting these runs on takes a lot of effort.Date of review: May 29, 2011
In short: Great course, magnificant scenary, the odd up/down. V.efficiently ran race.In full: What a day, breezy, but warm, course wasn't muddy which is a bonus! Hills hadn't shrunk. Some great views - this is the whole reason I run.Date of review: February 6, 2011
In short: Adam - Well DoneIn full: Adam,Big hand for coming back to apologise. Thank you.Dave (Meface)P.S. - By all means raise issues about the organsiers/organisation - that is after all what the feedback is for.Date of review: November 29, 2010
In short: Awesome scenary, what a route. A must for trail runnersIn full: OK - 3 runners got sent the wrong way by a misguided marshall giving up their Sunday morning to stand around in -3 DegC. Calling them and the race organisers morons is bang out of order. If I meet you at a race watch out.Marshalls rarely know how far you have to run - that is your job as a runner. Do you expect them to know your position as well? By category? Maybe encourage you by name based on total recall of numbers/names. Get real.I for one thank the young girls (guides?) who turn up to marshall these events. If they make an error I still thank them.Please tell me you have marshalled other events and helped out the girl guides with their events occaisionally. If not - shame on you.Oddly one of the marshalls complained to me about one of the front runners being rude to them - nice touch, I am sure they appreciate that. What a gent.I viewed the map and got round fine, no mistakes. Although I am not that quick! However if I was quicker then surely course preparation is even more important.Now for my review.What a course. Out of Denbies, through subway, and over stepping stones, up steps, steep ones, all the way to the top of Boxhill, lungs busting and out onto the viewpoint. Turn left past the National Trust shop and down the Burford slope. Always fun running down this, wide open grassland and excellent views. Back to Denbies. Loop 2 - Out on the A24 for a short distance, turn left and uphill on a quiet lane, then into Norbury Park. Woodland run with some great view points, then past Norbury House with some good views of the Mole Valley. Turn onto A24 and thank goodness a 2+mile slightly downhill run back to Denbies. Loop 3 - Out of Denbies on one of my favourite tracks (when running down, not up). Excellent views over Dorking, good track to make a last effort on. Ice in the drinks at the water station at the top - bloody marshalls - they should have kept the drinks warm with their bodies. Either that or it wsa just too cold. Final headlong fling downhill towards Denbies and the finish.6 drinks stops, all with jelly babies, gels and water. A nice little medal, a bottle of beer and if I wanted it a Bounty (but a bloody front runner apparently took the Mars Bar I wanted - what a moron).Awesome route, awesome day, thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be back next year and expect the organisers will run a top notch race like they usually do.MefaceP.S. 9 toilets & urinals (3 outside near the start and 3+urinals for men inside Denbies and I presume the womens had another 3 as well - didn't check). They have a cafe that seats 200 did you not think that it would also have toilets: moronI would be sorry three of the front runners races were ruined, I really would be, but the comments made about volunteers are bang out of order: therefore I struggle to raise sympathy.Date of review: November 28, 2010

Biz Travel on the Rise
The Columbus Dispatch - April 11, 2013 03:57 PM
Good news for local hotels and restaurants: Business travel is expected to be up in 2013.
It will grow by 5.1 percent to a total of $268.5 billion, according to the Global Business Travel Association.
"Business confidence is up and the need to compete in the global economy is driving companies to invest in business travel," said Michael McCormick, CEO of GBTA.
Business travel totaled $268.8 billion in 2007 and dropped to $222.7 billion in 2009 as the effects of the recession kicked in and put a hurt on the industry.
The growth rate was only 1.8 percent in 2012, according to the GBTA.

If so, just how much does it take for him to throw in the towel and grab his car keys? I've seen him biking to and from work for several months now and he looks like a pretty serious sports cyclist so I'd be curious as to whether or not he is even slightly a fair weather rider. Something tells me that crazy bicycle lady with a camera will be making an appearance sometime soon to get the answer to this question.

USA defeats Pacific 4-0
FULLERTON, CA – Dominant pitching performances by two-time Olympic gold medallist Lori Harrigan (Las Vegas, NV) and Jennie Finch (La Mirada, CA) propelled the U.S. to a 4-0 win over No. 13 Pacific tonight on the eve of the opening of the KIA Classic. Harrigan and Finch combined to no-hit the Tigers in seven complete innings.
Despite collecting four hits through the first three innings, the U.S. stranded seven runners on base and was unable to score until the bottom of the fourth. Jessica Mendoza (Camarillo, CA) drove the first pitch over the right field fence to lead off the inning and give the Red, White and Blue a 1-0 lead. Back-to-back singles by Natasha Watley (Irvine, CA) and Leah O'Brien-Amico (Chino Hills, CA) put runners at first and third for Crystl Bustos (Canyon Country, CA) who sent a sacrifice fly to right field to score Watley for the final run of the inning.
"One of the obvious things is the fact that we left a lot of runners on base tonight but overall we had some opportunities but hit balls hard right at people," said head coach Mike Candrea. "It's kind of good to play a game that doesn't end in five innings and we need that if we are going to get better."
After being shutout in the fifth, the U.S. put up two more insurance runs in the sixth for a 4-0 lead. Laura Berg (Santa Fe Springs, CA) singled and Nicole Giordano (Saugus, CA), pinch-running for Berg, move to second on a single by Watley. A double by O'Brien-Amico, which just missed clearing the right field fence, scored Giordano and a sacrifice fly by Tairia Mims Flowers plated the final run of the game.
Harrigan, who hadn't taken the circle in 10 days, improved to 5-0 after allowing no hits and fanning eight of the 16 batters she faced. Finch kept the no-hitter intact after walking one and fanning five of the eight she faced.
"It was nice to get back in the circle tonight after having the last week off," said Harrigan. "I was able to mix up my pitches and keep their hitters off balance. I was pleased with my outing."
O'Brien-Amico was the leader at the plate tonight going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Watley, Kelly Kretschman (Indian Harbour Beach, FL) and Jessica Mendoza (Camarillo, CA) each collected two hits on the night. Bustos extended her hitting streak to 20 straight games after collecting a single in the first inning.
On the 2004 'Aiming for Athens' tour the USA has outscored opponents 191-8 and has crushed 39 home runs in just 20 games. With the win, the U.S. extends its pre-Olympic tour win streak to 135 games.
The U.S. will open action at the KIA Classic on Wednesday, when they play tournament host Cal State Fullerton at 7 p.m.

About the Author: Sara Devlin serves at the U.S. Embassy in Maseru, Lesotho.
On Thursday, October 1, the U.S. Embassy Maseru Public Diplomacy team and a group of dedicated volunteers drove in the rainy and cold weather to Morija, about 45 minutes from the capital city of Maseru, to pitch our tent at Lesotho's premiere cultural event, the Morija Arts and Cultural Festival.
The first day of the festival was dedicated to performances by local high school groups, who performed the traditional Litolobonya dance. The skirts that the girls wore were often made from torn plastic bags and a very heavy underskirt of coke bottle caps, which rattled as the girls moved.
Young Basotho men performed traditional dances, often reenacting fighting scenes. Many male groups dressed in the customary attire, gum boots and coveralls, of Basotho men who went to work in the mines of South Africa. Others wore loincloths made of animal skins. The clothes were very striking, and the dancers' movements highlighted their agility and strength.
As the groups danced, their peers sang. The singers, in Basotho hats and blankets, stood behind high-tech microphones and sound equipment. I couldn't help but be struck by the image, a contrast between the traditional attire of the singers and the modern technology they used on the stage.
This year's Morija Festival didn't just line up a wide variety of performers; it also attracted a diverse group of attendees. One of the most exciting things about the Morija Festival was the chance to talk with Basotho people outside of the capital. I particularly enjoyed speaking with the children, who frequently visited our tent to practice their English and laugh at my basic Sesotho!
We also hosted a very memorable guest at our tent: His Majesty King Letsie III. My colleague Brandy Airall gave the King a tour of our booth. Brandy was so excited to have met the King that she was on the phone to her family in the United States minutes after the King left our tent!
Brandy's enthusiasm was only rivaled by the excitement of festival attendees who participated in our raffle. Each hour during the festival, we drew two names to win either an embassy hat, t-shirt, or an America 24/7 book. Our winners often did a little dance, the women ululating to show how happy they were when they won.
The gentleman featured in the photograph accompanying this entry visited our tent every day. Like so many other visitors to our stand, he really, really wanted to win an embassy hat or t-shirt in our raffle. By the last day, he won, and he left wearing the hat!
During the last hours of the festival, staff members had to use real diplomacy to explain that there were no t-shirts or caps left. We hope that next year we can distribute more giveaways so that everyone can go home happy!
The Morija Festival was one of the highlights of the embassy's year. It's an opportunity to share about the United States and to experience the rich culture that is unique to this Mountain Kingdom.
As we say in Lesotho: "Khotso, Pula, Nala." ("Peace, Prosperity, and Rain")

Hi, Sara
Thanks for writing-in about the Arts and Culture Festival in Morija. I enjoyed reading about the events that they had ,and the people you meet there. I liked the idea of the raffle, and the photo of one of the winners.
I think you and Brandy, did a great job of improve our Diplomatic Relations in Morija .
...Cya..Sara :)

@ Sara -- Thanks for sharing about your experiences at the Morija Festival. Sounds like a great event. Glad your embassy team was able to participate and distribute the America 24/7 book. The book does an excellent job of showing America's breadth and diversity.
As someone who is in education, my fellow teachers and I try to make sure our students see photos of other parts of the world. It really goes a long way in inspiring them to learn about those places and promotes respect and understanding.

Ultra-thin notebooks have existed for many years now, but only recently those systems became truly thin and light. Traditionally, ultra-thin laptops featured reduced performance and capabilities and could hardly serve as true mobile workstations. Intel Corp. wants to change that and its future microprocessors will enable new class of systems: ultrabooks, thin, light yet powerful laptops.
"Computing is taking many forms. Technology innovation is a catalyst, and we believe the changes Intel is making to its roadmaps, together with strong industry collaboration, will bring about an exciting change in personal computing over the next few years," said Sean Maloney, an executive vice president at Intel, during his keynote at Computex Taipei 2011 trade-show.
Intel believes that the forthcoming Ultrabook computers will marry the performance and capabilities of today's laptops with tablet-like features and deliver a highly responsive and secure experience, in a thin, light and elegant design. Intel presently considers Ultrabooks as a vision, not as a product category. The ultimate goal is projected to be achieved several generations of chips from now.
Asus UX21 laptop
The first Ultrabooks are set to emerge this year and they will be based on Intel Core i-series "Sandy Bridge" chips. According to Intel, this family of products will enable thin, light and stylish designs that are less than 20mm/0.8mm thick, and mainstream price points under $1000. Systems based on these chips will be available for the 2011 winter holiday shopping season.
At the Computex Taipei 2011 trade-show Intel and Asustek Computer Demonstrated the Asus UX21 ultra-thin laptops powered by the current-generation 32nm Core i-series microprocessors.
"At Asus, we are very much aligned with Intel's vision of Ultrabook. Our customers are demanding an uncompromised computing experience in a lightweight, highly portable design that responds to their needs quickly. Transforming the PC into an ultra thin, ultra responsive device will change the way people interact with their PC," said Jonney Shih, the chairman of Asustek Computer.

The second breed of Ultrabooks will be powered by code-named Ivy Bridge microprocessors due in the second half of 2012. Laptops based on Ivy Bridge will bring improved power efficiency, smart visual performance, increased responsiveness and enhanced security. The systems will also include USB 3.0 and optional Thunderbolt technologies which are part of Intel's ongoing work to drive the PC platform forward.
The third generation of Ultrabooks will be powered by code-named Haswell processors that will become available in 2013. With Haswell, Intel promises to change the mainstream laptop thermal design point by reducing the microprocessor power to half of today's design point, which means something like 15W - 18.5W.

Rings are precious jewelry often worn to display one's bond with another, such as a man and his wife, or flaming one-eyed villain and its power. Matching rings are a token of love and they represent commitment, bond, and affection one has for the other. They make a relationship more meaningful as it portrays how important and precious significant others are. As practice makes perfect, wearing couple rings inadvertently prepares your ring finger for the real thing.

Candy Memories
When I was a kid, we always used to walk to this little candy store to get candy. They had jars and jars of different candy, but the one I always made sure to get was Swedish fish. This was because my great-grandma got me hooked on them, and so every time I ate them, I thought of her. It was great to be able to get a bag of them and remember all the fun times were used to have together. Kimberly from Oregon

Answer by Zahra Khan
Let me just first say that I admire your initiative to take your studies to the next level. I am sure universities would too.
But as far as the GED goes, I would talk to individual universities to figure out what they'll accept. Might I suggest my school, MIT?
MIT tends to appreciate young people with initiative such as yourself.
If you're interested in aircraft and engines, you should consider aerospace engineering which focuses on designing and building aircraft and spacecraft, including different types of engines.
If you want to get a flavour for this, you could see if you could do an internship in the field. I believe NASA sometimes has programs for high school students so you should Google those.

About the Author: Elizabeth Drew is a Special Assistant for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
The stakes for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) refugees and asylum seekers are high: many people fleeing persecution based on their sexual orientation or gender identity encounter violence and abuse in the countries they've fled to, where they remain invisible and at risk, often isolated from even community-based support.
The Obama Administration continues to advance a comprehensive human rights agenda that includes elimination of violence and persecution based on sexual orientation or gender identity. I represented the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) at a roundtable in Geneva on this theme last week. The roundtable, the first of its kind, will result in enhanced policy and operational guidance for staff of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) at headquarters and in the field. A group of representatives of different governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and academics met from September 30-October 1, and -- despite the jetlag suffered by participants flying in the previous day from as far away as Australia, Kenya, Uganda, Canada and the United States -- we had a remarkably dynamic and productive discussion. We were especially pleased that UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres and Assistant High Commissioner for Protection Erika Feller welcomed us to a reception after our first day of talks, reflecting the commitment of UNHCR's senior leadership on this issue.
I moderated a session on good practices and current initiatives, describing PRM's efforts to integrate and elevate this issue within our broader work, including our convening a working group with NGOs and other U.S .government offices on this issue and supporting a regional pilot program to build capacity to address LGBT protection challenges. The group welcomed U.S. leadership on this topic, and was appreciative of our public statements, including PRM Assistant Secretary Eric Schwartz's speech at the State Department's LGBT Pride Month event in June. My government representative counterparts spoke about their efforts on this front, and NGO participants shared the innovative programming work they're doing in Kenya, Uganda and the Middle East, particularly in the area of staff training and sensitization.
Our group parted on Friday with both a renewed sense of urgency and ideas for a way forward.

A student once wrote in huge black letters on a wall in a Culver City school, "Ms. Joan is Gay." After numerous other hateful experiences I left that school eventhough I was tenured. These are the sad and unfortunate experiences people go through on a daily basis in the "Land of the Free." It's painful to live in such an unjust place as America. As a nation, we need to take a long and critical look at ourselves before spouting platitudes to others.

-Nice modern kitchen. NOTE: We don't allow any cooking (pots, pans, oven, and stove) or any use of the kitchen besides for beverages (water, wine, beer, coffee, etc.). We never utilize a kitchen when we travel as it defeats the purpose of traveling by limiting your interaction with the local surroundings and culture.
-Free soap and shampoo as well as a hairdryer. We will also provide you with freshly cleaned towels, linens, and wash cloths.
-Plenty of parking if you have a car
-Washer and dryer
-Cable and wireless internet (AT&T U-verse)
-Personalized maps and info on everywhere to go in Fort Lauderdale/Miami. I have lived here 20 years and know the city extremely well.
-For those from another country, I have an adapter/converter for your electrical appliances.
-If you are driving and don't want to get lost, I can provide you with a Garmin GPS
-Should you need to check your email, print boarding passes, or book your next night of accommodation, you can use our computer.
GUESTS WHO WE WANT TO HOST: We desire to host people who actively explore the city and everything it has to offer.
GUESTS WHO WE DO NOT WANT TO HOST: If you are coming to Fort Lauderdale to take a vacation in our house by which you never leave it, our place is not for you. It's a tiny house and it's not set up for that purpose.
SUMMARY: We consider ourselves very friendly and generous people who are cultured and laid back. Having been to 37 countries, we are used to interacting with all sorts of people and truly enjoy meeting people from other countries. We know how it feels to be a traveler and we understand what a traveler needs, so you can be assured that we will take good care of you and take care of all your needs. At this point, all we can do is welcome you to Fort Lauderdale.
House rulesThe only standing rule pretty much is that we don't allow cooking or any use of the kitchen besides for beverages (beer, wine, coffee, water, etc.).

Reviews of this property
Wenn es dunkel ist kann man die Hausnummer schwer erkennen,wir hatten aber meistens nette Taxifahrer und dann war es kein Problem.
David ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Das ganze Haus ist sehr sauber und gepflegt.
Wir haben in dem sehr guten Bett wunderbar geschlafen.Im Badezimmer standen uns sogar Schampoo und Duschgel zur Verfügung.Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche war sehr gut.
Sindy haben wir auf Grund Ihrer Arbeitszeiten leider nicht kennengelernt.Wir waren von morgens bis abends unterwegs und sowieso nur zum übernachten dort.David ist sehr hilfsbereit und ein sehr guter Gastgeber.Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort übernachten.
