- I will be receiving 250 Die Cut Business Cards from UPrinting.com for hosting this giveaway.
College Girl making her Calling
I am happy with the bloggy business cards I have had in the past. Mine were extra long so they were noticed a lil better. But now I am thinking about how to help College Girl get noticed a lil more. You see it is time for her to work on applications for Theater internship. She will be sending out packets of information to theaters across this country and hoping one of them would love her FREE labor. Sad to say, yes, they work for free for a summer and pay the college to let them have this opportunity. Not logical but that is life. Anyway, I figured that we could make her some business cards to put in her packages. I love that now she can get the UPrinting Die Cut cards. The ones with the rounded edges or look sorta like a leaf should make them stand out a little more. Don't you think so?
I was thinking about maybe having her picture on the front. I like this one the best. Then putting her contact information and her talents on the back. What do you think? Sorta a way to say, "See Me?" Well that is what I am working on.
How would you use a specialty cut business card? Would it be a calling card for your blog? How about a way to pass out all those addresses we have now...you know email, facebook, blog, twitter, cell/text. . . the list goes on and on these days. I know it takes forever to write it all out. But you could just pull out a Contact Card from your wallet and pass it on. Not a bad idea?
Here is your chance to win die cut business cards prints!
250 Die Cut Business Cards for One (1) Winner
2 x 3.5", 2 x 2" (square card) or 1.75 x 3.5" (slim card)

Costume Quest is a rollicking Adventure/Role-Playing game that unfolds on Halloween night across seemingly peaceful suburban neighborhoods, a mysterious village carnival, and a monster-infested shopping mall. Created by Double Fine's lead animator, Tasha Harris, the game follows the adventure of a group of young friends who must rid their neighborhood of monsters using only their wits, their bravery, and their home-made costumes. Players go door-to-door collecting candy, points, cards, battle stamps and quest assignments as they prepare themselves for Combat Mode--where they transform into larger-than-life versions of their costumes. Each costume that comes-to-life provides its own unique set of superpowers that players will need to battle Halloween's worst monsters.

I think these are eye floaters. You really need to consult a doctor right away, but as a precaution so that it does not gets worst, don't stress your eyes too much, which means rest your eyes every now and then.
And you can also do some massage, first rub your hands until they get warm, then cup your hands and place it gently on your eyes, then massage it gently.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The iHenge is a brand of portable Stonehenge developed by the Apple Inc. Released in December 2001 B.C it has since become the most popular personal Henge device for determining when to plant crops, calculating eclipses, and celebrating solstices.
Since its initial success Apple has introduced the iHenge Nano, and the iPyramid.
edit History and Design
The iHenge was developed by Apple Inc. after founder Steve Jobs was thwarted in stealing the original Stonehenge during a charity scavenger hunt that had gotten completely out of hand.
"I guess you could say I was inspired by the sleek design of Stonehenge and the fact that you couldn't really do all that much with it." said Steve Jobs at E3. "I was also inspired by the hordes of fluffy bunnies that surrounded the fucking thing willing to spend vast amounts of money on something that doesn't really do much."
After the initial design, dilettante Oscar Wilde was called in to help market the iHenge.He is generally created with coining the word iHenge after seeing a prototype and exclaiming "The fucking thing is in danger of being crushed by a dwarf."
At first sales of the iHenge were slow. This is generally attributed to the fact that well,..., it's a fucking miniature Stonehenge. I mean honestly what fucking use does the average Joe Schmoe have for knowing when the longest day of the fucking year is for fuck's sake.
Now if it could tell you who would win the third race at Eagle Farm, then I'd be more interested.
After three months of lackluster sales Oscar Wilde had a brainwave. He suggested that the average hippie doesn't spend that much time in Radio Shack or Walmart and maybe they should try off loading these at flea markets and Ren Fairs.
Within a month sales had tripled and hordes of Wiccans and hippies raced to own their very own iHenge.
edit Criticisms and Problems
edit Battery Issues
Customers have complained that there is no easy way to change the batteries on the iHenge. This is because it's made out of stone.
edit Bass Response
Sea Bass reportedly don't respond well to the iHenge, stating that "it gives us the evils."
Dolphins however think this is a fucking weak joke.
edit Slave Labor
In December 2002 the TV program 60 Minutes revealed that a Chinese Firm Goa Tse Tech was posting adds in Israeli university campuses promising them easy money for little work. Investigations soon revealed that anyone applying for the job was immediately miniaturized and forced to work as a slave on the iHenge.
Responding to widespread comdemation Steve Jobs replied with, "BWWWAHH HA HA HA HA HA, KNEEL BEFORE THE MIGHT OF PHARAOH."
It is alleged that Mossad is working on a mini-Moses in order to free the students.
edit Advertising Campaign
Apple launched the advertising campaign for the iHenge with the now infamous "Christian versus Pagan" commercials. In it a prototypical Christian played by actor Stephen Colbert wearing a plain black suit and holding a Gideon bible would start chatting with 'Pagan' Ozzy Osbourne.
Christian Colbert would make a comment how cool Jesus is and how so much better his life is since he found Him. Pagan Ozzy would then retort by biting the head off a kitten.
Medical authorities reported the largest single instance of spontaneous vomiting after the ad premiered during half time of Super Bowl 2001. Despite the controversy, Apple resisted calls to change the add until PETA placed a contract on the life of Steve Jobs.
In more recent ads Ozzy bites off Colbert's head and then huffs a kitten.

Microsoft warns against Word security flaw
Microsoft has warned that a rigged word file, when opened corrupts system memory and could allow an attacker to gain control of their PC. Office 2000 and Office XP are at risk. The flaw is being used in a limited way because the attacker has to get the user to open the rigged file. Microsoft is working on the security repair.

Boyfriend and I were at 15C the other night, having a little food. While we're hanging out, out of the blue, the most wonderful Carly pours us a little vino in a glass. "What on Earth is this?" we ask. She answers that it's her new, favorite wine that Ali just started carrying at the shop. It's called Vouvray, and it's a Chenin Blanc from France - Appellation Vouvray Controlee (yes, whatever that means!)
My God, we were just amazed at the wine. It is the epitome of everything I would ever hope for in a white wine. Now I used to be a Sauvingnon Blanc from New Zealand girl (I should have bought stock in Kim Crawford, given how much of that wine I drank) but now I find my palate is changing. New Zealand Sauvingnon Blancs can be too harsh for me now. The grassiness that I used to love now bothers me. That's why the Vouvray has me on my knees. It is gorgeously perfect. In fact, I loved it so much, Miss Carly poured out the rest of her bottle for us - how kind is that? As she said, "That's what good wine is all about. Sharing with friends over good conversation." No wonder I always go back to 15C again and again.
So while talking to Carly about it, we found that she only had one bottle left! Ali had only gotten a few bottles just to give it a try - and Carly bought up a few of them :) But there was one left, and at the price point of $15, we had to nab it. (No worries though folks, Ali already has more in stock as the wine was such a hit.)
So we brought it home, and since today was a hot day, we decided to crack the vino open tonight to see if it was as good as we remembered. And yes, oh yes, it was. It it literally creamy & silky on the palate. I don't think I've ever had a white wine that was so smooth. It is pure apricots and peaches, with a tad of sweetness, though not overly sweet in any way. I've had quite a few Chenin Blancs and most have fallen short for me, but this wine is the epitome of what I think a white wine should be, and a gorgeous display of what Chenin Blanc can achieve. Yeah, you can maybe tell that I like this wine :)
On the back of the bottle, it says that the wine was made my Jean-Claude Pichot. He produced the wine in the family tradition, which dates back all the way to 1774! Daniel Haas of Vineyard Brands apparently found this wine and had it imported to the U.S. I now just have to find Daniel Haas so that I can give him a hug, thanking him for bringing this wine to me - HA!
So I highly recommend that y'all call Ali or Carly @ 15C in Templeton, CA and have them save (or send) you a bottle of Vouvray. Boyfriend doesn't love white wines but on this one he is totally sold, which means a lot - so I'm placing bets that you'll like it too!
And I have to say how touched I am that Carly shared this wine with us. If she hadn't, I never would have picked this wine off the shelf to try it. I simply would not have had any idea that it would be a good find. I appreciate Carly so much that we went back to do a photo op of her and I with the bottle! Thanks, my dear Carly. 15C is lucky to have you!

The interupted electric
Oh well, I was prepared for it but an hour without the internet? I will die. I will use the charged up notebook computer. Hmmmm, no. The modem needs the electric. Ok, I will use my phone as the modem, so I did.
An hour later the world righted itself and the Highrise sprang back into life, with only two clocks needing their time corrected.
We now have a smart meter, which does nothing that our old meter did not do for us already. It simply measures the electricity usage, for now. In the future they will be used to rip even more dollars from our pockets for electricity.
As far as I know, within a day, nearly four hundred smart meters had been installed in our and the two adjacent buildings. Impressive! Who's paying for that? Oh, we are, in our electric bills.
White vans must sell very well in Australia, in fact all over the world.
They don't look much smarter than the meters that were there, which I believe were already read remotely.
Hot water meters and cold water meters. We pay for our cold water usage and we pay for the gas to heat our water, but not the cold water that is heated. The Body Corporate pays for that water, at a fraction of the price, as is the cost of gas to heat the pool and spa, building area lighting and other building water.
23 comments:
I don't see the point of smart meters either if their function is no different to the old ones.
ReplyDeleteRepliesRiver, firstly, they are in contact with the power company pretty well every few minutes. Secondly, they enable the power companies to charge more for electricity at a certain time of day. It is complicated, but at the moment electricity companies wear the cost of buying electricity whether it is cheap, as on a low use day, or expensive for them to buy on a high cost day, such as when it is 40 degrees. The new metres can transfer the cost to the user. Peak usage is early evening, and that is when the electricity will cost the most. As usual, it hits the poorest people the hardest.
Since you are in a flat and not a house, I don't know if this would be possible. But are the other owners in the building Old Lefties? If so, get the body corporate to install lots of solar panels on the roof. It will cost plenty at first, but with a hunk of government subsidy, you can be getting free hot water and electricity for 6/12 of the year.
ReplyDeleteRepliesHels, there is not enough roof space for solar panels. There is space for a wind turbine, and it has been investigated, but was found to be inappropriate. The older people who control the body corporate are green inclined, too much so in our opinion and have shut off or reduced so many things in our building, it has been devalued in our opinion.

Well I know this "effort" has nothing to do with the new money sucking meters, but refers to a previous post on "The Sydney Red Rattlers" and if you can purchase the "Sydney Daily Telegraph"
(yeh, I know it is a "tabloid rag, but it is better than the "tabloid rag" inflicted on Queenslanders), after wading through the "gushings" of a certain announcement of a pending UK baby - 7 pages, joy to the hearts of the Prof. Flints, Tony Abbotts, Flo Bjelke-Petersens and Bronwyn Bishops, proceed to Page 66, "The History on this Day" page.
There is an article by a Mike Gow on "Riding the Red Rattler" - it is factual and nostalgic reading of growing up in the 1960's.
I think commenter, Victor, will enjoy it.
I sure did, it bought back great memories. A constellation of sparkies? HHHMMMmmm... don't think I can top Windsmoke either!
An on-the-road lifesaver has been the 'Power can inverter' (~$50) - plugs into the car cigarette lighter and your appliance plugs into it for recharging or use. Obviously will flatten the car battery if too much use while the car is stationary, but luckily, will charge up my netbook in about an hour while travelling from A to B, and P can use his electric shaver when there's no power!! Worth a look!!Ah, you've finally unlocked the mystery of the smart meter. It's the flat rate wholesale purchase price vs tiered retailing.
Which means in a heat wave the elderly should spend the day in an airconditioned shopping mall because they can't afford cooling when it's actually hot.
Oh, wait a minute, there are quite a few who do spend all day every day in the local Centro.
For a long time I was puzzled by the notion these meters could help "we, the people" use our power more wisely than is currently [snicker] the case. It's actually about charging the people more wisely.

Perfect for a first time buyer!
JUST IMAGINE becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind.
The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun and just…. (Miguel Angel Ruij)
Words and phrases have strong meanings. The word JUST would refer to being "treated fair" and "with respect".
The word IMAGINE stems from the Latin word that would refer to "Image" or "Picture."
PROPERTY has its origin in the Latin word "Proprietatem" that means "Enjoyment" and the "Right of Possession".
In conclusion DREAMING originates from the words "Joy", "Vision" and "Goal."
The founder and owner of Just Imagine Properties, Theo Erasmus, had the ability 10 years ago (2005) to combine and complete all these words into a Legendary Real Estate experience.
Under his leadership Just Imagine Properties still manage to turn Vision, Goals and Joy into the Enjoyment and Possession of Real Estate.

April 10, 2013: We've scoured the Web to find the best and most compelling animal stories, videos and photos. And it's all right here.
Move Over, Therapy Dogs!
Turns out, dogs aren't the only animals that can make people feel better. Meet Rojo the llama and Napoleon, his alpaca friend, a pair of unique therapy animals from Vancouver, Wash. Rojo "grew up to be this amazing huggable, lovable llama and somebody at a fair came up to us and said you should get him certified for therapy," said Lori Gregory. Gregory took the advice to heart, and started Mnt. Peaks Therapy Llamas and Alpacas. Now, her therapy teams dress up with flowers and little hats, and visit hospitals and senior centers. "[Rojo is] such a quiet, gentle, peaceful soul … it's like he really knows how special he is and how special the kids are," said Kelly Schmidt of the Providence Children's Center in Oregon. "It's very a contagious spirit to have Rojo around because it's just so unusual." — Watch it at CNN
Dog Found 900 Miles From Home
Nine months after an Italian Greyhound was stolen from the front yard of his family's Illinois home, Dauz was found some 900 miles away, in Virginia. "I was shaking. I was crying. I've never been so happy. It was like a dream getting that call," said owner Alicia Dausman. "I can't believe they found Dauz." The pup, whose name comes from the family's last name, was given to a couple in Virginia who took care of him, but he ran off recently and wound up at a shelter in Fairfax, Va. There, the staff discovered his microchip and called the Dausmans, who immediately made a road trip to bring Dauz home. "It's a dream come true," Dausman said. — Read it at ABC News
Male Birds Attracted to Nice Nests
If a female blue tit wants to catch a good partner, she's going to need a nicely decorated home, according to new research. Female blue tits that build bigger nests with more fragrant plants attract males who are more willing to help them raise their chicks, finds a new study from Spain. The nice nests may be a signal to the males that the female is healthy, and therefore a good mating partner, said study co-author Gustavo Tomás. "The effort devoted by males is very important in the success of the females and in how many chicks will survive," said Tomás. The study was published in the journal Behavioral Ecology. — Read it at Live Science
New Bat Genus Bears Stripes
With stripes like a badger, a rare bat found in South Sudan is so different from other bats that it now has a new genus, which is a taxonomy ranking that's a step up from a species. "My attention was immediately drawn to the bat's strikingly beautiful and distinct pattern of spots and stripes. It was clearly a very extraordinary animal, one that I had never seen before," said Bucknell University's DeeAnn Reeder. Although the bat turned out to be the same as one that was found in the Congo in 1939, Reeder and her fellow researchers didn't think it belonged in the genus that it had been placed in. "Its cranial characters, its wing characters, its size, the ears — literally everything you look at doesn't fit. It's so unique that we need to create a new genus," she said. They created the genus Niumbaha, which means rare in Zande, for the bat. Their findings were published in the journal ZooKeys. — Read it at Science Daily
Jimmy Fallon Calls For Weird Pet Pics
Usually, it's the adorable things pets do that get them attention on the Internet. But Jimmy Fallon, the Late Night host who'll soon take over the Tonight Show, confessed on Instagram that his Golden Retriever, Gary, "likes to eat her bed" — and he wants to know what strange habits his viewers' pets have. "Post a #mypetisweird pic on Instagram and we'll put it on our show this week!" he Tweeted Monday. — Read it at People Pets

My friend Danielle (of Make No Little Meals) and I are new to the blog challenge/event world, but we are both addicted already. When Danielle emailed me the link about a week and a half ago to Weekend Cookbook Challenge - I was excited instantly about this month's theme - dutch ovens, crockpots, and pressure cookers. I had to laugh at the timing because just the night before I had been flipping through my "Pressure Cooking for Everyone" cookbook.
My mother is a big pressure cooker fan - she cooks chicken in there, beef stew, boiled dinner, soups, pot roast, etc. When my husband and I set up our wedding registry I not only requested a pressure cooker, but I also requested the aforementioned cookbook.
It's been a little over 2 years since - 2 years of never having used a kitchen gadget or a cookbook (so not like me!). I want to clear the air and dispell the any notion you may have right now - the fact that I had not yet used my pressure cooker is not because I am afraid of it. I know many people have a fear of pressure cookers - afraid of getting burned by steam or losing an eye. I remember hearing the mumble of some concerned guests at my bridal shower when I opened it. I'm not afraid of a pressure cooker, I watched my mom use it for many a year, and there have been no injuries! So, I figured it's time for me to take the plunge. I resolved that I needed to use both the pressure cooker and the cookbook sooner rather than later.
If it wasn't ironic enough that I had resolved to use my pressure cooker in the very near future, and pressure cooking was one of the themes of the latest Weekend Cookbook Challenge, St. Patrick's Day was also approaching. When I was flipping through my "Pressure Cooking for Everyone" cookbook I had dog-eared the Corned Beef Boiled Dinner recipe which I tried out last night.
Being a pressure cooker virgin (ok, c'mon, I had to make the joke!) it was a little bit of an adventure for me which included a phone call to my parents' to ask some advice, and my husband lending me a hand with the process since I've been feeling a little under the weather (isn't he sweet?).
So, the recipe below is a reflection of stars aligning at the right place and the right time! I've completed the Weekend Cookbook Challenge, used my pressure cooker and cookbook (everything went well and I can't wait to use my pressure cooker again!), and cooked a celebratory St. Patrick's Day meal (which turned out great may I add, the corned beef was SO tender!)
Corned Beef Boiled Dinner
(from "Pressure Cooking for Everyone")
One 3 pound corned beef brisket with pickling spice packet
2 cups water
One 12 oz bottle of lager beer
2 medium onions, peeled and cut in half lengthwise
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
4 medium red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed but unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup baby carrots
1 small head green cabbage, cut into 6 wedges
Rinse corned beef but do not trim the fat. Tie the spices in a double thickness of cheese cloth.
Place the rack in a 5-7 quart pressure cooker. Add water, beer, onions, garlic, and spice sachet. Place corned beef in the pot (do not be concerned if corned beef touches sides of the pot as it will shrink as it cooks).
Lock lid in place. Bring to high pressure over high heat. Adjust the heat to maintain pressure. Cook for 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let the steam release naturally (about 15 minutes). Open the lid, tilting it away from you to block escaping steam.
Transfer meat to serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, transfer onions to large serving bowl. Cover with with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Place the potatoes and carrots in cooking liquid in pot. (The nitrates in the corned beef will have probably turned the liquid red, but don't be concerned). Place the cabbage on top, trying to submerge it in the broth as much as possible. Lock the lid in place. Bring to high pressure over high heat. Adjust the heat to maintain pressure and cook for 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to the serving bowl.
And on that note...........
Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day!!!!

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
1) My Irish heritage husband is always asking me to make corned beef and cabbage for him on St. Patty's Day. I finally gave in today and told him I'd make some tomorrow, but I don't have a recipe.
2) He was worried we wouldn't eat till 11pm because it would take too long to make
3) We BEGGED for a pressure cooker for our wedding, got one, and still haven't used it!
You may have saved my marriage - March 17, 2008 at 1:50 AM

Aww thank you so much for participating! I'm so happy the stars aligned for you. heee!
Your corned beef and cabbage looks exceptionally good! And I'm tickled to know it can be made in the pressure cook! Yay!
Thanks again. :)

The Kingdom of Denmark is located at the northern end of the European continental mainland, between the North and Baltic Seas. Denmark's history has been closely intertwined with its Scandinavian neighbors, Sweden, and Norway, as well as with Germany, its neighbor to the south. Small in area (43,094 square kilometers; 16,634 square miles, or about twice the size of Massachusetts) and relatively flat (its highest point is fewer than 200 meters, or approximately 650 feet, above sea level), Denmark consists of the Jutland Peninsula, the two large islands Funen and Zealand (which contain the Copenhagen metropolitan region), and dozens of smaller inhabited islands. No Dane lives more than about 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) from the sea. Its population was just over 5.4 million in 2004. Like its geography, Denmark's climate is maritime, with moderate temperatures but with frequent showers and occasional thunderstorms.
At the center of northern Europe, Denmark's history, economy, and politics have been...

sex with prostitutes 3-4 times, WILL DONATE!Jan 11, 2011 Dr. Bob, Thanks for the appreciation. I just made a donation to your foundation. I have had some burning & pain at the corona of glans of my penis for the last 3-4 days. There is no discharge from the urethra or urinary discoloration. My last sexual adventure was about a week back. I do not have any rashes on my genitalia, or any palpable lymph nodes. I have had similar episodes when I wasnt sexually active, exacerbated by use of latex condoms & masterbation, with previous STD checks & UAs being negative ( 6 months back). They subsided on their own. Do you think the above warrant an STD screen now? I have been masterbating quite frequently with latex condoms, & my glans is exposed most of the time to my underwear because of lack of foreskin l/t friction & irriatation. Also, how ceratin are you about my HIV tests being negative, considering my sexual behaviour & correct & consistant use of condoms. |
Response from Dr. FrascinoHello, If you've had similar episodes in the past exacerbated by use of latex condoms and masturbation and you report lately you've been masturbating frequently with latex condoms, I would assume the problem is irritation and not an STD, just as it was before. If you are at all concerned or if the symptoms persist or progress, an STD screen is simple to obtain. You might also try non-latex condoms, such as those made with polyisoprene (Lifestyles "Skyn" condoms or Durex "Avanti Bare"). Regarding your HIV-acquisition risk, I have not altered my assessment. See below. Dr. Bob sex with prostitutes 3-4 times, WILL DONATE! Jan 10, 2011 Thanks Dr. Bob for the answer. I will be donating to the foundation very soon. I am a man of my word, as you are. Thanks. I dont think I had put my self at risk by using protection but for having sex with escorts. I will take another test in 2 months from now, just to be sure. Response from Dr. Frascino Hi, Thanks for your thanks and for your support of The Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation (www.concertedeffort.org). Both are warmly appreciated. In return I'm sending you my good-luck/good-health karma that you are now and will forever be HIV free! Good luck. Be well. Stay well. Dr. Bob sex with prostitutes 3-4 times, WILL DONATE! Jan 7, 2011 HEY DR. ROBERT, I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WD BE POSTING THE QUESTION. I AM WILLING TO DONATE TO THIS GOOD CAUSE. I HAVE HAD SEX WITH ESCORTS, ABOUT 3-4 TIMES SINCE MID OCTOBER, WITH CONDOMS, WHICH REMAINED INTACT THROUGH OUT ( I CHECKED THEM THOROUGHLY). I HAD A FLU LIKE ILLNES IN MID DECEMBER, WHICH REALLY DRAINED THE ENERGY OUT OF ME. I LASO GOT AN HIV ANTIBODY TEST IN MID DECEMBER, WHICH WAS NEGATIVE. I KNOW YOU MIGHTHAVE BEEN ASKED THIS ABOUT THIS BUT, AM I AT RISK OF ACQUIRING HIV, COZ CONDOMS ARE NOT 100% PROTECTIVE?? I USED DUREX ULTRATHIN CONDOMS. DO I NEED TO GET ANOTHER HIV ANTIBODY TEST IN 3 MONTHS?? I WD BE HAPPY TO DONATE. PLEASE ANSWER. THANKS Response from Dr. Frascino Hi, You are correct: I have been asked very similar questions gazillions of times before. You can find those very consistent responses in the archives of this forum. The bottom line is that HIV cannot permeate intact latex. No way. No how. Consequently, if latex condoms are used properly and don't fail (break), the HIV-transmission/acquisition risk is essentially nonexistent. However, condoms are frequently used improperly in a wide variety of ways. General guidelines suggest that sexually active folks (multiple partners) get STD screened (including HIV testing) every 6 to 12 months. If you are at all worried that you may have placed yourself at risk for HIV with your escort adventures, get a single HIV-antibody test three months or longer from the time of your last potential exposure. Continue to play safe and you'll stay safe. Dr. Bob | ||||||||||

China's Rising Soybean Consumption Reshaping Western Agriculture
WASHINGTON, Jan 08 (IPS) - Global demand for soybeans has soared in recent decades, with China leading the race. Nearly 60 percent of all soybeans entering international trade today go to China, making it far and away the world's largest importer.
The soybean was domesticated some 3,000 years ago by farmers in eastern China. But it wasn't until well after World War II that the crop gained agricultural prominence, enabling it to join wheat, rice, and corn as one of the world's four leading crops.
This rise in the demand for soybeans reflected the discovery by animal nutritionists that combining one part soybean meal with four parts grain, usually corn, in feed rations would sharply boost the efficiency with which livestock and poultry converted grain into animal protein.
As China's appetite for meat, milk, and eggs has soared, so too has its use of soybean meal. And since nearly half the world's pigs are in China, the lion's share of soy use is in pig feed. Its fast-growing poultry industry is also dependent on soybean meal. In addition, China now uses large quantities of soy in feed for farmed fish.
Four numbers tell the story of the explosive growth of soybean consumption in China. In 1995, China was producing 14 million tonnes of soybeans and it was consuming 14 million tonnes. In 2011, it was still producing 14 million tonnes of soybeans, but it was consuming 70 million tonnes, meaning that 56 million tonnes had to be imported.
China's neglect of soybean production reflects a political decision made in Beijing in 1995 to focus on being self-sufficient in grain. For the Chinese people, many of them survivors of the Great Famine of 1959-61, this was paramount. They did not want to be dependent on the outside world for their food staples.
By strongly supporting grain production with generous subsidies and essentially ignoring soybean production, China increased its grain harvest rapidly while its soybean harvest languished.
Hypothetically, if China had chosen to produce all of the 70 million tonnes of soybeans it consumed in 2011, it would have had to shift one-third of its grainland to soybeans, forcing it to import 160 million tonnes of grain - more than a third of its total grain consumption. As more and more of China's 1.35 billion people move up the food chain, its soybean imports will almost certainly continue to climb.
The principal effect of skyrocketing world soybean consumption has been a restructuring of agriculture in the western hemisphere. In the United States there is now more land in soybeans than in wheat. In Brazil, the area in soybeans exceeds that of all grains combined. Argentina's soybean area is now close to double that of all grains combined, putting the country dangerously close to becoming a soybean monoculture.
Together they account for over four-fifths of world soybean production. For six decades, the United States was both the leading producer and exporter of soybeans, but in 2011 Brazil's exports narrowly eclipsed those from the United States.
Although most of the growth in the world grain harvest since the mid-twentieth century is from the tripling of grain yield per acre, the 16-fold increase in the global soybean harvest has come overwhelmingly from expanding the cultivated area. While the area expanded nearly sevenfold, the yield scarcely doubled. The world gets more soybeans primarily by planting more soybeans. Therein lies the problem.
The question then becomes: Where will the soybeans be planted? The United States is now using all of its available cropland and has no additional land that can be planted to soybeans. The only way to expand soybean acreage is by shifting land from other crops, such as corn or wheat. In Brazil, new land for soybean production comes from the Amazon Basin or the cerrado, the savannah-like region to the south.
Put simply, saving the Amazon rainforest now depends on curbing the growth in demand for soybeans by stabilizing population worldwide as soon as possible. And for the world's more affluent people, it means eating less meat and thus slowing the growth in demand for soybeans. Against this backdrop, the recent downturn in U.S. meat consumption is welcome news.

[CLJ-889] Specifically allow '.' inside keywords Created: 01/Dec/11 Updated: 01/Aug/16 |
Status: | Open |
Project: | Clojure |
Component/s: | None |
Affects Version/s: | None |
Fix Version/s: | None |
Type: | Enhancement | Priority: | Minor |
Reporter: | Howard Lewis Ship | Assignee: | Unassigned |
Resolution: | Unresolved | Votes: | 1 |
Labels: | keywords, reader |
Description |
The documentation for keywords (on page http://clojure.org/reader) specifically states that '.' is not allowed as part of a keyword name; however '.' is specifically useful. For example, several web frameworks for Clojure use keywords to represent HTML elements, using CSS selector syntax (i.e., :div.important is equivalent to <div class='important'>). In any case, the use of '.' is not checked by the reader and it is generally useful. I would like to see '.' officially allowed (in the documentation). Further, I'd like to see additional details about which punctuation characters are allowed (my own web framework uses '&', '?' and '>' inside keywords for various purposes ... again, current reader implementation does not forbid this, but if a future reader will reject it, I'd like to know now). |

Comment by Howard Lewis Ship [ 08/Dec/11 3:37 PM ] |
To clarify, Hiccup and Cascade both use keywords containing '#' and '.' Cascade goes further, using '&' (to represent HTML entities), '>', and (possibly in the future) '?'. |
Comment by Devin Walters [ 20/Oct/12 6:46 PM ] |
I think the EDN spec mitigates some of the concern, but as of yet the official clojure.org reader documentation does not reflect the language used in the description of EDN. Where does EDN stand right now? Can the description being used on the github page be pulled over to clojure.org? References:
Comment by Howard Lewis Ship [ 15/Apr/13 5:56 AM ] |
Unfortunately, the EDN specification does not mention '>'. |
Comment by Vitalie Spinu [ 01/Aug/16 2:35 PM ] |
It's worth noting that the most common prefix character '#' is allowed in keywords by the reader, but other prefix characters '`', '@' and '~' are not. None of these characters are allowed as part of symbols proper. |

'Jersey Shore' Italy: Swearing, Sobbing, No Sleep, New Shockers (Exclusive)
The new Hollywood Reporter magazine exclusively visits producer SallyAnn Salsano and MTV's Jersey Shore set in Florence as the mad genius behind the show bares her soul – and plays shrink, Mom and shoulder to cry on for her six figure per episode cast.
SallyAnn Salsano has one of the biggest hits on television with MTV's Jersey Shore, which, in its third season, the most recent to air, garnered an average audience of 7.9 million total viewers, up from 5.8 million in season two and 2.7 million in season one.
The new issue of The Hollywood Reporter on newsstands later this week in NYC and LA, has an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the cast and crew from Florence, Italy, where they taped season 4 (premiering Aug. 4).
PHOTOS: Best and Worst Moments of 'Jersey Shore'
Salsano, who got her start on talker Sally Jessy Raphael, defends the controversial show, which has generated about $580.2 million in operating profits for 2010, according to estimates by SNL Kagan.
"It's real," she says. "The worst thing you can tell a reality-show producer is that it's fake. You can say it's crass, you can say it's vulgar — but in the end, that's what it is."
The story reveals Salsano's close connection with her cast. She sleeps just three hours a day or less in a tiny apartment constructed above their disheveled bank-turned-apartment building so she can supervise taping around the clock. "I love her," says cast member Ronnie Magro, a Bronx native who formerly worked in real estate. "She changed my life for the better. I had nothing; I came from the bottom. SallyAnn is an amazing person, and I know she loves me — I don't know why, but I know she loves me to death and would do anything to make sure that I succeed."
PHOTOS: 'Jersey Shore': The Quotable Snooki
Some highlights from the piece:
Salsano stays razor-focused on the drama. When Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino threatens to tell Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's boyfriend, Jionni, who has just flown in from America, that she's been cheating on him, Salsano eggs him on, asking him of his plan during their daily, hour-long confessional taping. When he suggests he's going to beat the crap out of him, Salsano subtly steers him away from that while planting the notion that his finest quality is telling the truth, even if doing so could cost Snooki her boyfriend. Later, when no drama erupts between them, the 37-year-old executive producer lovingly groans of the cast after a drama-free night: "F--kin' retards!"
Eventually, things change at a club. Jionni tires of Snooki's antics and bolts out of the club and into the streets, followed by Snooki, JWoww, Sammi and Deena — all the guidettes — shouting and wailing as four cameramen struggle to keep up, with the Situation and his pals trailing them. Salsano screams at her crew, "Run bitches!" She also takes off outside after them in her sneakers, making sure every moment is captured on tape as the cast scatters. "We got it," Salsano exults. "We got the whole f—in' thing!"
Forget the swagger and the cockiness; there's gentleness to The Sitch. Salsano recalls how he wept on her shoulder, soaking her clothes with tears, when his dad posted critical videos on a website. (That conflict resulted in litigation that reportedly has since been settled.)
PHOTOS: 'Jersey Shore': The Quotable Situation
Brought in by VH1 executive Shelly Tatro when the project was being developed at MTV's sister network, Salsano had counseled against making it an elimination contest. "One week it was fist-pumping, one week tanning — all kinds of craziness," she says. The producer was convinced just getting the right cast and following their antics would be entertaining enough. So she searched the Tri-State area, boiling contenders down to a final dozen, reduced to eight the day before shooting commenced Aug. 1, 2009. (Deena Cortese, who later replaced Angelina Pivarnick, was in that first group but had to drop out because her grandmother was ill.)
Before joining the cast, Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio never earned more than a few hundred dollars a week as a DJ, but now he's grappled on WrestleMania. Sitch went from an assistant manager at a fitness center to competing on Dancing With the Stars. They've become mini industries onto themselves; each generates between $20,000 to $50,000 per personal appearance alone. The Situation will earn between $2 million and $5 million this year; Pauly D recently signed a DJ'ing deal at Palms Las Vegas that could bring him as much as $50,000 a night. In the last go around of negotiations this year, MTV agreed to pay several of the cast more than $100,000 per episode, locking them in through season six.
VIDEO: 6 Best Fights on 'Jersey Shore'
Sitch shows us the room he shares with Ronnie in the bank-turned-apartment. (Vinny, Pauly D and Deena are in another bedroom; Snooki, Sammi and JWoww take the third.) To call it a mess would be kind. The bed is unmade; clothes are strewn all over the place. He leads me into the bathroom, where the sink is blocked, nothing has been cleaned and half-eaten food is tucked into corners. Is he going to fix the sink? He shrugs. "There's always others I can use." The sheets in the "Smush Room," always open for sex, rarely get changed.
The cast is allowed just one private phone call per week, so Salsano fields the concerned call from Snooki's father, whom she refers to as "Papa Snooks," about his daughter's recent arrest for a fender bender with an Italian police car. "Yeah, we had a bit of a problem," Salsano admits. She glides over the fact that his daughter is presently a basket case over the Jionni matter. "She was kinda upset, but she's getting over it." Then they tease each other. "I just got her for two years," she jokes. "You got her for life!" Later she gets defensive that Jionni borrows Snooki's credit card and uses it to freely dispense drinks at the club. "You think he'd be spending his own cash like that?" she queries, defiantly moral amid the seemingly amoral young men and women around her.
Still, despite the success, Salsano, who was fired off two shows and was afraid her 495 Productions company (named after the Long Island Expressway) would go under shortly before Shore became a hit. She still constantly worries about failure. "I am always afraid of what's next in a really odd way. I think that's what drives me," she says.

Google runs one of the largest computer networks on Earth, a web of machines that extends from Oregon to Finland to Taiwan. This is how it delivers so many Internet services to so many people in so many countries so quickly, from Google Search to Google Maps to YouTube. The irony is that Google built this vast network without much help from companies like Cisco, Dell, HP, and IBM—companies that supply the hardware for most of the world's computer networks. Google, you see, designs its own hardware.
It has to. Over the past 15 years, Google's network grew so large that the company needed a cheaper, more efficient way of building it. Traditional gear from traditional suppliers was too expensive, overly elaborate, and difficult to manage. So Google designed its own gear, working with various firms in Asia and elsewhere to manufacture a more streamlined breed of hardware, including computer servers and the networking switches that send data between servers. Most notably, Google built switches that could run its own software—software it could readily reprogram to suit its needs. This wasn't possible with traditional gear.
'The telecoms are realizing the value they get out of a traditional supplier is continuing to diminish.'
It was a very Googly thing to do. But the implications extend well beyond Google. As Facebook's social network expanded to hundreds of millions of people, it too designed its hardware. Then, under the aegis of a nonprofit it called the Open Compute Project, Facebook open sourced these designs. Suddenly, other companies could use the designs, improve them, and—through mass production–drive down the cost. Companies like Apple, Microsoft, Rackspace, and Goldman Sachs did just that. This new breed of hardware isn't just a Google thing. It's the only viable way of building the largest online services.
Now, a new wave of companies aims to push this movement even further. This morning, four big-name telecoms— AT&T, Verizon, Germany's Deutsche Telekom, and South Korea's SK Telecom—agreed to join the Open Compute Project. Through a sub-project dedicated to the needs of telecoms, they too will explore open source servers and networking equipment that can boost efficiency and reduce costs. "Everyone is looking for that same synergy and agility," Gagan Puranik, a director of architecture planning at Verizon, says of his company and others who have joined Facebook's experiment in open source hardware. "The learning and the sharing will go both ways."
The announcement is notable because, as you'd imagine, telecoms are among the world's largest hardware buyers. This will yield another sizable shift away from traditional data center gear and towards the sort of streamlined, programmable gear fashioned by Google and Facebook.
Yes, that undermines companies like Cisco and HP. "The telecoms are realizing the value they get out of a traditional supplier is continuing to diminish," says JR Rivers, who once designed hardware at Cisco, helped Google develop its networking switches, and now sells Google-like networking software to large online businesses, including telecoms. "Open Compute is natural way of dealing with this. It helps highlight a more open and malleable hardware supply chain ecosystems, as opposed to one-stop shopping form existing suppliers." That said, companies like Cisco and HP have moved to accommodate this shift, selling (at least some) gear that mimics the Google Way.
Long Time Coming
Today's announcement is a long time coming. AT&T has long said it intends to "virtualize" 75 percent of its network by 2020. In other words, it's moving towards a Google-like model where network logic sits in the software rather than the hardware. This is now called "software defined networking," or SDN, and it means AT&T is freeing itself from old-school gear that wasn't so easier programmed.
According to reports, AT&T has already designed some of its own networking gear to accommodate this shift, and in June, it opened sourced some of these designs through the Open Compute Project (though it wasn't an official member). The project encourages companies not only to use and modify existing open source designs, but to donate their own as well.
And yet, as Rivers points out, these telecoms may not adopt the latest technology as quickly as their Internet counterparts have. "These guys move way slower than any of the web companies," he says of the large telecoms. "I don't expect anything radical happening in the next year." But it's telling that these companies are embracing this movement—and embracing it so publicly.
What does Facebook get out of this? After all, it's not a telecom. At first blush, it doesn't benefit from hardware built for an AT&T or a Verizon. But there's an indirect benefit. Facebook's vast social network runs atop the networks operated by these telecoms. What's good for them is good for Facebook. In fact, Facebook has long explored ways of expanding the Internet into places that don't already have it, using everything from drones to satellites. When it comes right down to it, this is just another way. "We've been focusing a hell of a lot on connecting the world," says Facebook head of architecture Jason Taylor, "and that's not something we're going to do alone."

A New Way To Fund Open Source Software Projects, Bug Fixes and Feature Requests 52
Lemeowski writes "Open source software projects are seeing some success on fundraising sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. But Warren Konkel believes open source software needs a better funding model that's more aligned with how software is built. So Konkel, who was the first hire at LivingSocial, teamed up with his friend David Rappo, a producer for games including Guitar Hero and Skylander, and founded Bountysource, a crowdfunding and bounty site specifically designed to help developers raise money for their OSS projects, bug fixes and feature requests. In this interview, Konkel talks about how he recently snagged a $1.1 million investment in Bountysource, gives developers tips on launching a fundraising effort for their OSS project, and more."

What do Justin Bieber and Meryl Streep have in common? Well, besides their virtuosity in their chosen fields — Meryl in acting, Justin in sneakers-wearing — they have come together with a host of other celebrities to get a PG-13 rating for the documentary "Bully."
The Weinstein Company is using every trick in the book to reverse the bullying documentary's R rating from the MPAA. The rating, for language used by kids themselves, will keep the film from being screened in schools, where Weinstein believes it will make a difference.
First, there was the inevitable online petition, which was launched by a bullying victim and garnered hundreds of thousands of supporters. Then, Weinstein began hosting screenings and discussions for students to prove that the film could have an educational impact.
Now, Weinstein is getting his friends on board. Today, TWC issued a press release announcing that Bieber and Streep have joined Johnny Depp, Ellen Degeneres, Anderson Cooper, Kelly Ripa, and Tommy Hilfiger in public support for the movie.
Hilfiger will also be designing a "Bully" t-shirt inspired by the film's poster, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Facing History and Ourselves. TWC says he's the first of 10 designers that they will ask to donate their services on behalf of the fundraising effort. Photographer David LaChapelle also has offered to donate his services towards an ad campaign.
In addition, California Representative Mike Honda and Senator Kristin Gillibrand have issued statements to MPAA and former Senator Chris Dodd, its chairman, supporting the petition and urging them to overturn the R rating.
Weinstein marketing at its finest or social activism? Probably a little of both, but it's starting to look like this uphill battle is gaining traction. If you're interested in signing the "Bully" petition, click here.

RENO, Nev. The Food and Drug Administration has cleared a new diagnostic test that will help save the lives of hundreds of thousands of AIDS patients stricken with cryptococcosis, a fungal meningitis. The test was developed through a collaboration between Tom Kozel, professor of microbiology of the University of Nevada School of Medicine, and Sean Bauman, president and CEO of IMMY (Immuno-Mycologics) of Oklahoma.
The new, rapid blood test known as the CrAg Lateral Flow Assay leads to early diagnosis of cryptococcosis, a leading cause of AIDS-related deaths in developing countries, by detecting the cryptoccocal antigen. Using an antibody developed by Kozel, the point-of-care product is a simple dipstick test requiring no equipment.
"Our goal is to save lives," said Bauman. "With the CrAg Lateral Flow Assay, a health-care provider can give the test, observe the results, and administer the first dose of oral medication, all within a few minutesresulting in a life that has truly been changed for the better."
Current diagnostic tests for cryptococcosis are effective, but are not suitable for resource-limited settings. The tests require technical expertise, special laboratory equipment, and refrigeration for storage. All of these elements are difficult to come by for a rural clinic in a resource-limited country that lacks reliable electricity and proper infrastructure.
Kozel, who has been conducting AIDS research for more than 25 years, said studies have shown that early identification and treatment is essential to beat the disease; a late diagnosis means antifungal therapy will likely fail in resource-limited countries. Most patients in that setting are not diagnosed until they are very sick, and then it's too late.
The United States' Center for Disease Control and Prevention has published a fact sheet and established a "call to action" goal of having half of all AIDS clinics in Africa and Asia equipped by 2015 to do the testing and treatment. They estimate 50,000 to 100,000 lives will be saved every year.
The antibody used for the Cryptococcus test was developed in the lab at the Reno campus with grants from the National Institutes of Health. Bauman commercialized the technology to make it available at low cost to patients in developing countries with a licensing agreement established through the University of Nevada, Reno's Technology Transfer Office.
The IMMY product is now available in South Africa, Kenya and Uganda, and this FDA approval makes it available globally.

After years and years, someone still has the time to check out my vids and leave quick comments. I commend you ^_^ Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately, with a career, hitting the gym, and what not, making amvs is no longer an option. What I need to do is grow my passive income to replace my normal income, and THEN I can edit again, maybe. - whoa 2014-12-29 22:06:58 Been a while. I have re-installed Premiere. I may come back, I still have a single unfinished amv [lol] and an old Girls' Bravo project I could have finished but chickened out. It might be worth coming back to. Who knows?
- Been a while. 2013-10-28 22:58:41 Lurking post. What to do. And happy Halloween people! :)

I've caved, too many people like streaming and why deny the medium yeah?
The re-encodes mess with the audio/video synch a notch but I don't think many will notice. -
I'm shot
2013-03-10 23:38:35
... WHOLY shat...
I forgot how long it takes to edit one small part of an amv... [10 seconds for 3 hours of seeking, cutting and pasting]
Those few of you who grabbed my 2nd ever AMV may look forward to part two! Same song [the remixed version, unlike Moonlight Shadow, doesn't sound as good as the original]
Anyone remember Boys Be? ^_^

Re: Rotation3D, MatrixRotation3D ?
I am not sure what you mean; so, let me restate it a little. To use your notation, there is an XYZ coordinate system that is fixed in the LAB, often called the LAB system. This system is fixed for all time. If we now think of a second system xyz that originally lines up with XYZ, then we do the following: 1) rotate the xyz system by phi about the Z-z axis we now have a new x'y'z' system in which z'=z=Z axis 2) rotate x'y'z' through theta about the x' axis we now have an x''y''z'' system in which x''=x' axis 3) finally, rotate x''y''z'' throug psi about the z'' axis to get the final orientation of the new coordinate system The rotations as applied rotate the coordinate system relative to the LAB system. You can see this by seeing what happens with RotationMatrix3D[phi,0,0].{1,0,0} RotationMatrix3D[phi,0,0].{0,1,0} RotationMatrix3D[phi,0,0].{0,0,1} What you will see is that the three unit vectors are NOT rotated through phi (positive is by the right-hand-rule, by the way), but appear to be rotated through -phi, i.e. as viewed from the new system.
