My portfolio's lead widened by two percentage points thanks to a turbulent market that finished lower after a five-week winning streak. The small-cap Russell 2000 led indexes lower with a 1.31% decline last week. None of the other three majors finished down 1% or more, though the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished down 0.88%. The S&P 500 fell 0.5%, while Apple buoyed the Nasdaq, which fell just 0.22%, according to CNBC.

Markets wibbled and wobbled as investors awaited from the Federal Reserve, which could come this week when major U.S. central bankers meet in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Europe's top banker, Mario Draghi, is also expected to be present at the meeting. We don't yet know if regulators will discuss a plan to act, but in a letter to Rep. Darrell Issa obtained by The Wall Street Journal, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested that the bank may have cause for "further action" to support economic recovery and thereby prop up worldwide bond and stock markets.
Apple doesn't need the help. Already surging on expectations for the forthcoming iPhone and the potential for a new Apple TV, the Mac maker was up nearly 2% in early trading today following a U.S. court victory in its high-profile patent dispute with Samsung. Jurors ruled that Samsung had infringed on six of Apple's iPhone patents, awarding $1.05 billion in damages and kicking off what's sure to be a years-long appeals process.
More importantly, Apple has -- for the time being, at least -- gutted its most important rival for smartphone market share here in the U.S., leaving a huge opportunity not only for the iEmpire, but also for Microsoft
Both Rackspace and salesforce.com rallied on what appears to be increased confidence in the long-term potential for cloud computing. In particular, salesforce.com finished the week up a bit more than 2.5% as second-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings beat estimates. Sales rose 34% year over year, confirming a recent Piper Jaffray tech spending survey of mid- and large-sized company chief information officers. According to Barron's, these CIOs rank salesforce.com as the top cloud player, followed by Microsoft, Amazon.com, and then Google.

As much as Apple is driving gains for the Big Idea portfolio so far, there's still a lot we don't know about the company's long-term strategy to own tablets or even TVs. That's why we've introduced a new premium Apple research service with a kick-off report that details the opportunities and challenges in store for shareholders. The research includes a full year of updates, so get your copy today.

Lovely perfume I love it!! Berry and frangipani with violet. Just as Trevil says. She has done such a lovely job of describing it. I totally agree. It's a gorgeous sweet juicy perfume!!! The frangipani and violet are superb. And it has a beautifully sensual velvety feel, a bit dark and mysterious. Deep and appealing. I get lots of compliments. It's very popular with my family and friends. I love it!!! And the bottle is ethereal and beautiful. Lovely.
i love this one. light but log lasting. love frangipani met sandalwood. honestly, i don't like vanilla too much but the vanilla favor has covered by frangipani. it is really musk and relaxing. and it's warm too.
Very good fixer lasts me all day I like the smell I like the elegant bottle has a mysterious touch, elegant sophisticated partcicular I'm a fan of the brand I have them all on my dresser because I believe that as no two Castagnetto lulu.
note: daysi
I've been searching for a perfume with a good frangipani note other than the Plumeria perfume I purchased in Hawaii. This doesn't have it, I suppose it's the violet I'm picking up. However it's soft and light, very wearable. Too me it's slightly sweet and powdery. It reminds me of a much improved Sun Moon Stars with no chemical edge.
I got this as a present. I was looking at it and checking it out, but always spent my money on smth else.
Well, it's a nice smell, it reminds me of a cream cake. Sweet, soft... It's a but chemical in the beginniтg, but after it settles on me, it fades to a very "close to the skin" vanilla.
I might never buy it myself, but I'm glad that I have it.
I agree with Trvevil on everything here.
Just want to add that the fragrance is really velvety, I find it dark and seductive, with a wink.
Really special one!
I love these- I like the berry top notes and frangipani with violet. This stands out with something interesting. Maybe it's datura, which is listed in basenotes as one of middle notes.
It's staying power is great. It stays all day long.
This truly is seductive and smells great.
The top notes -berries never smell on me wrong. (compared to other perfumes). I've gotten a lot of complements wearing this. It's just as cute as Flowerbomb, but this is not similar to it. It can be dark on you or sweet, but never unnoticed!
It goes well in almost every season
I don't understand it is discontinued or what? Can't find it anywhere, so I treasure my bottle...

Why Man Of Steel Was An Amazing Comic Book Movie
I am a Sport Management major and Business minor at St. John's University in Queens, NY. I am a writer for ComiConverse.com, ThePennyFace.com, and TheJetPress.com. I also am the Twitter manager of ComiConverse.com. I have always been in love with comics and football and hope to one day make a career out of it!
Man of Steel was the film that launched a new generation of DC Comics movies. Our own Ryan Mayer took a look back at the release that started it all and why it was a such a smash hit.
Why Man Of Steel Was An Amazing Comic Book Movie
The DC Extended Universe is approaching fast, with the first major movie in the combined universe only months away from premiering. Technically, the first movie in the universe is Man of Steel, which is one of the most argued about comic book movie of all time. Since this big connected universe is soon to be born, I want to go through the three main arguments made against Man of Steel and try to show why this was an amazing Superman movie.
Unlike most movies that fans are often open to debating, Man of Steel seems to be one movie that people have drawn a line in the sand on and chosen whether they hate the movie or love it. I happen to side with those who love the movie and actually prefer it over many other comic book films.
Now with that being said, there are fair criticisms when it comes to Man of Steel, but I will be going through them and trying to show the other perspective on these critiques. There are three main criticisms that arise when talking about this movie.
1. Superman kills Zod?!?
2. Superman doesn't save anyone!
3. Superman causes too much destruction!
Of course, many of the points that have been brought up for and against the film are mainly due to perspective and personal taste; however, the three arguments above seem to nitpick at the film and lack credibility.
The first argument against Man of Steel is "Superman Kills Zod!?!?"
This has become the loudest argument from people who disliked the film. Zod is indeed killed by Superman at the end of the movie. However, its not done without it's consequences and it seems obvious that Superman had other choice in the matter. Something that is often forgotten in this argument is that Superman killed Zod, not out of frustration or anger, but instead to save a family's life. Early in the movie, Zod states that he will kill every human because they are who Superman loves. He states this directly to Superman. The point of scene was to put Superman in a near impossible position, which added depth to the story.
Now, on a side note another argument that tends to be coupled with this is "Why didn't Superman move the fight elsewhere?" Well, frankly he couldn't move it anywhere. Yes, in cartoon versions of Superman he would tend to move the fight to less populated areas. Notably, Superman attempts the same strategy in his famous battle with Doomsday. This was not the case in the movie, Zod specifically stated he will kill everyone on the planet. Also, this Superman has been a hero for a week at most. He wasn't experienced enough to be able to drag a military general with the same power set to a different location. Not only that, but if Superman simply left the area Zod would have begun killing people in Metropolis to coax Superman back. So, in the end, he couldn't move the fight. It also has to be noted that when Superman moves the fight to a different location in the cartoons and comics, he was able to do so because the enemy was only focused on him and not humans as a whole. Continuing on the main point, Superman was indeed forced to make a decision between the family or Zod. He obviously chose the family and made a decision that director Zack Snyder states will affect him throughout the DC Extended Universe (just look at the pain in Superman's eyes above). Another little tidbit that fans should know is that Superman has killed Zod already in the comics once before.
The second argument that tends to be brought up when arguing about Man of Steel is "Superman doesn't save anyone!!"
Well, frankly that's not true. Superman in Man of Steel saves plenty of people throughout the movie. Yes, this movie is meant to bring you inside the mind of the last Son of Krypton, but it also showcases that, before he learns how to be a true hero, he still innately was prone to saving people. If you remember the scene in the beginning of the movie, he saves the oil rig workers and the coast guard pilots. He also saves two soldiers during the fight with Faora. You could also argue that, by destroying the world-engine machine that was terraforming Earth, Superman effectively saved the planet. Superman did save people throughout the film.
He wasn't saving everyone left and right because that wasn't the type of movie it was meant to be. This movie was meant to show you a young Clark Kent being thrust into the superhero role early when he wasn't ready. He was still learning how to control his emotions at this point. If you go back and watch the bar scene in the beginning of the film, you can see how inexperienced he is. He has learned from Pa Kent and Ma Kent to not hurt another person, yet he's still, in a way, human. He still lashes out by destroying the guy's truck. This is a powerful moment, because it shows that he isn't this perfect boy scout and is instead an alien raised as a human. Obviously, as the movies go by and he learns what it means to be the true Superman, we will eventually lay our eyes on the perfect cartoon Superman everyone wanted out of the gate.
The third and final argument that gets brought up in this debate is that "Superman causes too much damage!"
Well, yes and no to this argument.
Superman does cause damage throughout the movie. However, this isn't entirely his fault. Many people tend to forget there was a machine destroying most of the city before Superman even showed up. So around 85 percent of the damage caused in Metropolis was caused by the world-engine machine.
This is a difficult argument to agree with and go against because he is a young Superman and he is fighting trained military kryptonians with the same powers and strength. Even Faora mocks him for it throughout their battle in Smallville.
This movie is, in my opinion, is one of the best comic book movies of all time.
Yes, it has it's faults and missteps; however, in the heart of the film, it shows a story of an alien raised to be human and who feels alone. The boy grows up and feels isolated until one day others like himself arrive and begin attacking the species he considers his own. He is then thrust into this situation with no training, no experience, only his sense of moral good.
At the time, I can see why many were dissatisfied with the movie, but I want you to go back and watch this film. Watch it and think of it being a story about a younger hero, who has no idea how to be Superman yet.
This is truly an origin story and we will see it fleshed out in the DC Extended Universe. We will even get to see soon enough how Batman has reacted to this emergence of a hero like this.
Your opinion is your own, but try to be open minded a bit and see the film from a different perspective.

Macon, Georgia
this wiki
Macon, Georgia is a small city located in rural Georgia, miles outside of Atlanta in a quiet urban area next to a forest in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead. This city is seen and visited by Lee Everett, and the group of survivors who set up and take refuge in the town during the outbreak. In the TV Series, it is mentioned as a town Michonne considered travelling to.
Rural Georgia
This city was the hometown of several people such as Lee Everett and his brother, B. Everett, the Police Officer who was transporting Lee to prison, and even Glenn. Though the city was fairly small, none of the characters ever met one another until the apocalypse began. Lee and his family owned and operated a drugstore pharmacy. However, Lee left his hometown and pursued other interests such as teaching at the University of Georgia. Because of Lee's departure, his brother was left in charge of the pharmacy. The central area of Macon was small, quiet, and peaceful until the outbreak occurred.
The following shops can be seen in Macon:
- Everett Pharmacy Drugstore
- Travelier Motel
- Sporting Goods Store
- Furniture Outlet Store
- Douglas Office Supplies
- Fulton Books Store
- Cherokee Hardware Store
- Tim's Tools & More
- Liquor Store
- Harriet Antiques & Collections
- Electronics Warehouse Store
- St. Mark's Thrift Shop
- Bernadette's Salon
- Sunrise Dry Cleaners
- Central Camera Store
Sometime before the outbreak, Vince shot and killed an unnamed resident of Macon in a building next to the Everett Pharmacy Drugstore. He then fled the scene and hid his gun, but was soon found and arrested by the Macon Police Department.
Season 1
"A New Day"
After Lee, Clementine, Kenny and his family are all kicked off Hershel's Farm, they head towards Lee's former hometown. Kenny's truck starts to run low on gas so everyone gets out of the vehicle and ventures forth on foot. At first the town is quiet and seems deserted. However, Kenny spots what he thought was a man hidden behind a truck and calls out to him, not realizing he was a walker. His cries get the attention more walkers and soon the group finds themselves outnumbered. Carley appears and begins to fire off pistol rounds at the walkers, telling the group to hurry and take cover while Glenn guides everyone into the Everett Pharmacy Drugstore. Once inside the pharmacy everyone takes cover from the walkers, and they rest, becoming somewhat acquainted with each other.
While Lee tries to help Larry get his pills for his heart condition, Glenn goes on a supply run to the Travelier Motel in hopes to find supplies and gas for their vehicles. While at the motel, Glenn gets trapped, forcing Lee and Carley to come to his aid. Once they arrive, Glenn mentions another |survivor trapped upstairs in a motel room and wants to rescue her. After a stealthy assault, the group rescues Irene only to find out that she's infected and wants to commit suicide. After the situation with Irene is dealt with, Lee, Carley, and Glenn head back to the pharmacy in town.
Back at the pharmacy, Lee goes outside on watch with Doug and notices his brother, a walker, trapped under a fallen telephone lamppost. He convinces Doug that he worked at the drugstore and has the keys to get into the back of the pharmacy for Larry's pills. Doug agrees and once Lee returns with the keys, an alarm is sounded as soon as the back door is open alerting nearby walkers. The group finds themselves under attack and need to defend their base while Kenny goes and gets his vehicle. Once he arrives, almost everyone escapes including Lee (despite Larry's violent tendencies towards him).
The remaining group members take new refuge at the Travelier Motel to try and recuperate and regain what they had lost. Once Lee interacts with the members of the group, he believes that the motel now can be their new base and can hold out the apocalypse there until the Military or any aid (such as the FRS) arrives until just then, the power goes out.
"Starved For Help"
The town is hardly seen in this episode as the survivors continue to take refuge on the outskirts of town at the Travelier Motel. After three months of defending their base, Lee and the group meet the St. John Family, Lee mentions to them that he is from Macon. Later at the dinner, Brenda will mention that growing up in the rural community has taught her not to waste anything. After escaping the St. John's Dairy Farm, Lee and the group make it back to the motel only to decide what to do next, continue to stay in the town or move on.
"Long Road Ahead"
The town is seen at the very start being completely deserted, not even a single walker roams the street. This gave the advantage to Lee and Kenny who are going on a scouting run to collect the remaining supply's from the Everett Pharmacy Drugstore. While figuring out a way into the store, they hear a woman screaming and running onto the streets crying out for help while being attacked by walkers. Lee uses his scope on his hunting rifle and watches as she gets bit by a walker. Lee contemplates whether he should shoot her and put her out of her misery, or take Kenny's suggestion of leaving her alive to distract and lure the walkers towards her allowing them time to get the remaining supplies. Once Lee makes his decision, he and Kenny grab what remaining supplies they can get and leave the drugstore and town for good.

Video Game
- Glenn and the Atlanta Police Officer both reveal in-game that they were born and raised in Macon.
- Brenda St. John grew up in Macon or the nearby area as she told Lee at the dinner in "Starved For Help".
- Macon was labelled a stage 9 catastrophe by the Federal Rescue Services when Glenn listened to his car radio near the end of "A New Day".
- Both Macon and Savannah are based on actual cities in Georgia. That implies that the road traveled by Lee's group midway through "Long Road Ahead" and by Russell and Nate during Russell's Story is located near Interstate 16. This is supported by the map Russell carries, which shows a highlighted route along the side of Interstate 16.
- Macon is one of three locations which were first appearing in Season 1 and they reappeared in "400 Days", the others being the Everett Pharmacy Drugstore and the Highway road.
TV Series
- At the end of "30 Days Without An Accident", Michonne points to Macon on a map. However, she is pointing to county of Macon; the city of Macon is located in Bibb County, which is located northeast of Macon County.
- At the end of "Alone", Glenn points to a sanctuary called Terminus on a map. A black star covers the area, however, based on the position of other Georgia counties, it seems that Terminus is located in or near Macon.

Recently, while at the Ann Arbor Art Fair, I happened upon a photographic artist that would find letters in architecture, and I fell in love with her artwork. She created words like "love," "dream," "home" . . .
To that end, and if you are at all familiar with this website, you know I love taking pictures, and I realized I could create my own photographic artwork using Fowlerville's architecture. If you look closely at the picture above, bricks, windows, street lamps, pipes and railings spell out our village's name.
At this point, I have framed two sizes of this artwork. The one shown is about 30" wide. I have another one -- quite a bit larger -- in a black frame. The one shown is $75 and the larger one is $90 if anyone is interested in purchasing this artwork.
If so, please feel free to contact me through e-mail or by phone and we will work out the details.

Rethinking Electronic Publishing: Innovation in Communication Paradigms and Technologies - Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Electronic Publishing held in Milano, Italy 10-12 June 2009 / Edited by: Susanna Mornati and Turid Hedlund. ISBN 978-88-6134-326-6, 2009, pp. 521-526 |
summary | The present status and future of electronic publishing in Iran does not seem to be very promising. The author, trying to gain some statistics on the issue, found almost no useful statistics. This paper that tries to give a picture of electronic publishing in Iran is based structurally on an article by Zahra Seifkashani (2003) entitled: "How the Internet can Influence the Iranian Readers"; it discusses the status of electronic publishing in Iran. The problems discussed by the author, as well as other problems, will be discussed in this article along with various suggestions on how to improve the Iranian electronic publishing scene. |

Some 42 percent of white-collar workers suffer from fatty liver, primarily due to their being overweight or lacking exercise, Liver Disease Prevention and Treatment Research Foundation Chief Executive Officer Hsu Ching-chuan (許金川) said yesterday. A study conducted between 2003 and last year of 3,851 white-collar workers found that 42.9 percent of them had fatty liver problems that could lead to cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. By gender, 49.12 percent of men and 26.81 percent of women were affected, Hsu said. The survey also found that the disease is closely related to obesity, alcohol abuse, or lack of exercise, Hsu said. The best way to detect liver problems is through abdominal ultrasonography, Hsu said, noting that to ward off liver disease, one should give up smoking, maintain a healthy diet and stay in shape.

About this entry:
Called Elanor the Fair, the eldest child of Samwise Gamgee and Rose Cotton; she married Fastred of Greenholm and they removed to the Westmarch of the Shire. Her son Elfstan was the founder of the Fairbairn family.
IV 61 was the year in which Elanor's mother Rose died, and in which her father Samwise later left the Shire and, according to tradition, passed across the Sea. He gave the Red Book to Elanor before he departed, and this is the last mention of her in any record. She would only have been 61 years old at that time, and it is likely that she lived for several more decades.
Elanor's name was given at the suggestion of Frodo Baggins, recalling the golden elanor flowers seen by the Fellowship of the Ring on Cerin Amroth in Lórien.

It is disturbing that the Crown Prosecution Service finds it in the public interest to prosecute Green MP Dr Caroline Lucas for the way she opposed the threat of fracking in a community near her Brighton constituency (report, 26 September) but to date has not prosecuted a single banker for their role in wrecking our economy.
City financial watchdogs have fined companies involved in dodgy dealing in the banking industry, but unlike in the United States reckless individuals are never fingered by our prosecuting authorities.These bankers and brokers get the huge bonuses paid personally, even if earned from reckless deals, but never receive the fines personally when caught out.
Meanwhile Dr Lucas gets prosecuted. She has tried traditional methods to raise widespread concerns with fracking; for example, she secured a debate in Parliament just before summer recess on 18 July. Readers can judge for themselves by reading the energy minister Michael Fallon's response to the concerns Dr Lucas set out whether he is prepared to take on board popular worries over fracking by reading his response on the Parliamentary website: www.publications.parliament.uk /pa/cm201314/cmhansrd /cm130718/ hallindx/130718-x.htm
One of several key points raised by Dr Lucas was this: "It is also pretty appalling that the new planning guidelines are set to come into force without public consultation, denying communities that stand to be affected by fracking any say in the new process. It is clear that ministers and the fracking firms, which are, sadly, increasingly indistinguishable, are keen to press on rapidly, but it is wrong to refuse to consult on new planning guidance aimed at making it easier for developers to cast aside community concerns."
It is impossible for politicians to represent popular concerns over environmental risks if ministers either ignore them when raised through usual democratic channels, or deliberately create planning processes that are exclusive of key community stakeholders.
Dr Lucas is a dedicated, concerned, selfless and hardworking MP. Do our law officers really want to prosecute such politicians?
Dr David Lowry, Stoneleigh, Surrey
Thank you for devoting two pages to the dangers of the chemicals used in fracking ("Is fracking a mortal threat to our livestock?", 18 September). It is truly astonishing that David Cameron, who wanted the Coalition to be "the greenest government ever", is so keen to promote fracking.
To allow such toxic and carcinogenic chemicals to be pumped into the ground strikes me as equivalent to toxic waste dumping on a grand scale. Accidental spillages and leakages from imperfect well linings will be inevitable, not to mention complex geological factors that may in time bring these chemicals to the surface and into our food chain.
That we would be spared the shocking US legislation that allows fracking companies to hide details of the chemicals they use is of little comfort. It is time for a major U-turn in policy.
Justin Douglas, St Albans, Hertfordshire
Ed Miliband's advocacy of theft is a disgrace
Does Ed Miliband understand property rights in regards to his "use it or lose it" threat to property developers sitting on vast land banks? The rule of law is supposed to protect our property rights from the potential arbitrary power of government, but Miliband thinks he can stamp on this fundamental principle of civil association and limited government for the sake of trying to win votes. Miliband was advocating theft and property confiscation; it is an absolute disgrace to hear such rhetoric from a "serious" politician.
James Paton, Billericay, Essex
No doubt "An honest day's work for an honest day's wage" (Owen Jones, 24 September") will make a fine slogan for Ed Miliband at the next general election. On the other hand, it is uncomfortably close to "A fair day's work for a fair day's wage", as used by Stanley Baldwin in the 1930s, which my working-class grandmother always cited as her reason for voting Conservative.
D J Taylor, Norwich
Ed Miliband gave a really first-class speech at the Labour conference. The average voter will applaud his commitment to freezing energy prices. Most of us will certainly also be in favour of breaking up the big energy firms and bringing in a new, tougher regulator.
Building 200,000 new homes a year by 2020 will in addition go down well with younger and older folk wanting a place of their own.Truly, here we have an excellent, thoughtful young leader who would certainly make an excellent prime minister in 2015.
Andrew McLuskey, Staines, Twickenham
Once again Labour shows that it has no basic understanding of business; that's partly why it ruined our economy while in government last time. Ed Miliband is not capable of running our country, and conference headlines might please the fickle but won't win them an election.
T Sayer, Bristol
The blatant attempt at blackmail by the energy companies with their thinly veiled threat to pull the plugs on our energy supply if the government attempts to regulate their obscene profits, despite the fact that many elderly, sick and disabled people depend for their safety on that energy, shows beyond doubt that these fat-cat companies are totally unfit to be allowed to continue managing our energy infrastructure.
The government should make it absolutely clear that any such attempt at such sabotage would result in seizure of all assets, jailing of the perpetrators, and immediate renationalisation without compensation of the energy network. But of course we won't see that from this government, who wouldn't dream of offending their rich shareholder friends.
Ian McNicholas, Waunlwyd, Ebbw Vale
We can't afford not to build HS2
Ed Balls has raised questions about the affordability of HS2 and alternative uses for the available funds. Surely the question he should be asking is not "Can we afford to build it?" but "Can we afford not to build it if we want a globally competitive future for our country in the 21st century?"
Our 19th-century Victorian forbears left a legacy that enabled us to meet most of our infrastructure needs for the 20th century, and we became lazy and parsimonious in our thinking on national infrastructure investment.
Sadly, they omitted to provide for sufficient north-south rail capacity for the 21st century and for national success this will be most keenly felt in respect of freight capacity. Whether we like it or not, we are in a globalised economy competing with emerging economic power-houses falling over themselves to invest in their national infrastructure. It would be interesting to know what questions of affordability and alternative uses for the funding Mr Balls raised when his government was planning and initiating the construction of Crossrail.
The HS2 project will cost each year a broadly similar sum to that which has been spent each year for the past decade and more on Crossrail. Surely it can't have anything to do with the fact that Crossrail benefits the economy of London, whereas HS2 benefits the economy of much of the rest of the country?

State-school sport is thriving
Has David Hewitt (Letters, 23 September) been anywhere near a state school recently? My children's school has a state-of-the-art gym and sports hall. PE is valued and taught with excellence and enthusiasm. There is no sign of "apathy". Pupils have experience of a wide variety of sports (all those mentioned in his list, apart from squash and many more besides) before, during and after school. They compete against other schools and are certainly not restricted to being "grudgingly allowed to play sport one afternoon a week".
State-school sport is actually alive and kicking and achieving incredibly high standards.
Helen Smithson, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire
Primary principles
English primary schools do not need an American for-profit company to tell them that "you can have fun from learning" and that core values of "compassion, wisdom, respect, justice, courage, hope, responsibility, and integrity" are essential ingredients of good education (report, 25 September). The person who needs this advice is Michael Gove, who seems to think that transmission of skills and facts and the testing thereof is the essence of education.
State funds should go into state schools, not private pockets.
Michael Bassey, Coddington, Newark
Niqab makes a spectacle of piety
The defenders of the niqab are laying claim to the British virtue of tolerance (Letters, 24 September), but completely ignoring another long-standing aspect of our national character, a very strong dislike of those who make a spectacle of their own piety and virtue mostly in order to highlight the supposed sin and vice of everybody else. This idea is enshrined in our language in expressions like "self-righteous" and "holier than thou".
R S Foster, Sheffield
For once, I'm backing Boris
I'm not a fan of Boris Johnson, but I praise his call for the super-rich to follow the example of their American counterparts to "do something for society" – to demonstrate some philanthropy. You reported his perfectly reasonable comments as a "rant".
Funny, up until then I thought I'd been reading The Independent.
Stanley Knill, London N15
Ukip jests, surely
Farage showed the refreshing candour and no-nonsense forthrightness for which he and his party are renowned when he said of ex-Ukip MEP Godfrey Bloom: "Nearly everything he has said has been meant as a joke."
I trust Bloom will return the compliment and say the same of Farage and Ukip.

Aerotech Spitfire
I just picked up an Aerotech International Spitfire off of eBay.
54" wingspan, weight is supposed to be 5.5lbs gonna convert to electric of course. Not sure if there's going to be any way to lighten the thing but I'll be looking for ways as I go. From what I can determine Aerotech International went out of business 10 (or more?) years ago. Haven't found much info on this kit. Just wondered if any of you guys have any experience with AI models? Kit looks like a great example of foam and wood construction. Basic fuelage is built with balsa slab sides and then foam decking sheeted with some type of wood I am not familar with. It's not balsa. ABS plastic cowling, etc. The wings are foam core with same type of wood sheeting that's approx 1/32" think. Some of the wing sheeting has de-bonded from the foam core. I'm using good old wood glue to tack it back down. all parts are pretty much pre-cut and bagged by assembly. Anyone built one? flown one? |

- Lack of Space. One of the top concerns for people starting to store food is, "Where am I going to put it all?" The answer to this question is to get creative. Look for the places in your home that could be organized more tightly to fit more belongings. Cans are great to store under the beds or television. There are storage products that you can hang on the backs of closet doors, or you can create a false bottom in a closet by lining the floor with food and topping it with plywood.
- Lack of Time. We all wish that we could have more than 24 hours in a day, so how do you find the time to focus on food storage when you have so much already on your plate? Take it a day at a time. When it's time to cook dinner, think of recipes that could be used for multiple food items, double it, and freeze the other half. Cook things ahead of time for future use so that you end up saving yourself time in the future. Don't try to take it all on at once. Have one goal per weekend, and learn how to dehydrate fruit, organize, or clear out a space.
- Lack of Funds. Saving money is definitely doable when it comes to storing food for your home. Again, don't try to take on the world all in one shot. Set a monthly budget for yourself ($40-50) and slowly start accumulating the basics of what you need. You don't necessarily need to buy shelving. If you have 4 large bins of potato pearls or 2 water jugs and you put a piece of plywood across the top of them, you've got a shelf to store anything on! If you take a look around at what you have, and don't assume that you need to buy everything, it will be much cheaper than you would have thought!
- Food Rotation Difficulty. Instead of simply placing the food in random places, you're going to need a system so that the food doesn't get old. Many get shelving units roll the oldest cans toward the front, so that every time you re-stock you can put them in the back. It can also be as simple as putting new food on the right side and taking from the left when storing in a cupboard or under a bed. What will help the most is learning to cook with the food that you buy so that it doesn't sit there for years collecting dust and going bad. If you can keep restocking and using the food, you will be able to stay organized and get the most out of your money.
- Dietary Restrictions. When you have specific dietary restrictions by choice or allergies, it may make things a little tougher. However, if you do your research, you can still find gluten free food storage or whatever the case may be. The opportunities are there if you do your homework.
Have a positive attitude, and keep striving for food storage, its well worth the struggle.

If we can help you to really learn the subject, you will be much better prepared for the variety of questions that may be asked on a test.
Not only will these sessions help you get a better grade in the course you are currently taking, but it will also help the one after that.
I started tutoring math and physics right after graduation from A&M in the Fall of 1999. I started with small classes that met in either the library at A&M, or out of a spare bedroom in my house. I have many years experience with the teachers at A&M as well as with different teaching methods. I have worked primarily with small groups, but as my business has expanded I am now able to work with larger groups just as well. Weekly class sizes are restricted so that the quality of my service does not decrease, as class size increases.
As for my education, I have two degrees, one in Physics, and one in Civil Engineering. I was 2 classes short of a Math degree when A&M told me to get out. (I was trying to be a professional student.) I have close to 250 hours on my transcript with a wide variety of subjects.
My Family Motto: Instaurator Ruinae (repairer of ruin).

Will Chiquita-Fyffes merger pass regulatory muster?
Chiquita Brands' planned acquisition of Irish competitor Fyffes for $1 billion would create the largest company in the industry. But with so much of the market already in the hands of just a couple of players, will the new company fly with regulators?
The country, now emerging from a grueling three-year bailout, has issued debt sporadically through banks over the past few months. But this transaction, a tap of an existing bond maturing in 2024, was pre-announced and auctioned directly — a mode of borrowing that typically only the most solid borrowers can enjoy. Ireland is now ranked as an 'investment grade' borrower by all three major debt ratings firms.
The Irish National Treasury Management Agency on Thursday sold its targeted €1 billion ($1.39 billion). It paid investors a yield of 2.967%, a record low for 10-year debt. This is significantly below the 3.543% yield at which Ireland tapped this bond for the first time in January. Yields fall as prices rise. Investor demand for the deal stood at 2.9 times the amount on offer.
Before the transaction, Irish bonds had been on a tear; also Thursday, the yield on the country's outstanding 10-year bonds slid to a record low of 2.99%.

Dafna Hadad, Broward Animal Care Officer, Fired Because She Couldn't Kill Healthy Animals
A Broward County Animal Care officer was fired earlier this month because she says her anxiety and depression made it difficult to kill healthy animals.
And that, her attorney charges, was something the county couldn't abide.
In April, 30-year-old Hadad, was moved out of a field position with the adoption center that allowed her to roam the streets looking for animal cruelty, and into an area called "the kennels."
There, attorney Martavis Clarke says, part of her new responsibility was to euthanize animals -- even the healthy ones.

"Due to her depression & anxiety, Dafna cannot kill," says her gofundme campaign, which is seeking $5,000 for "the fight against Broward County Animal Care."
But according to an internal memo obtained by New Times, that was a problem for the county animal center. According to the document, Hadad had asked the state whether she would fall under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Hadad "has a covered disability, but [was] no longer qualified to perform the essential functions of [her] job, and was not a qualified individual with a disability," the document said.
And to Broward Animal Care, that meant one thing: She had to go.
In Hadad's discharge letter, the bosses told her she had 45 days to "seek reassignment" within the county apparatus. When she didn't, they booted her out.
"The easy solution was to put her back in the field where she belongs, where only the euthanasia of suffering animals is necessary," says her gofundme campaign, which has collected $340 for Hadad.
Clarke says Hadad plans to file a lawsuit against the county but hasn't yet.
Spokespeople with Broward Animal Care did not immediately return requests for comment.

BBA Challenge #5: Casatiello
8 comments:
My family makes a bread like that. I wonder if the process was the same as they way that they do it. My dad (and his mother, who is now in the nursing home) don't even need a recipe to make it. We always put some type of dry sausage in it, chopped up. It is amazingly delicious!!
I love challah bread. Good luck with that one.I am so behind on bread baking!!! Akkk!
I have only made Anadama. Then it was a hot week and I didn't want to bake.
Now I have the book, too, so I am furiously reading all the beginning part. It makes the formulas a lot easier.
When I get home from camping, I will start break baking in earnest.I have to tell you that you inspired me to try making brioche on Thursday! I'd never made it but it came out delicious. I shared it with some friends over gelato and served lemon curd with my brioche....heavenly. Now you are making me remember that I've been wanting to make challah again....and I really don't have time until after school ends! Or will I just have to make time? We'll find out! ;-)

Trinity Methodist Church occupies a most beautiful and enviable position overlooking the Stray. It is an imposing Gothic-style structure and standing as it does on a triangular plot it forms a pleasing feature of the Harrogate landscape. The Foundation stones were laid in October 1876 and the Church was opened for worship in April 1879. The Schoolroom was added in 1888 along with the Chapel Keepers Cottage.
Trinity is busy throughout the year with weddings. Many organizations in the Harrogate area use the facilities for meetings and functions.
Trinity provides a place for worship and prayer, reflection and quietness alongside busy main roads. In the wider community we are committed to work out our faith in God our Father, as we see him in Jesus and to care for all, whatever their status or condition, through prayer and service. We offer an open invitation for all to join our worship and fellowship, which may lead to new or renewed faith and Church growth.
A booklet entitled 'History of and a Guide to Trinity' is available in the porch, price £2.00
