India's favorite flavors—curry, cilantro and turmeric—come together in this flavor-forward sweet-potato gratin.
- Potatoes should be sliced to 1/2" thickness.
- Recommend baking in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Spray foil with cooking spray before placing on top of dish, to eliminate cheese/potatoes sticking to foil.
- Steeping – " to soak dry ingredients such as spices, tea, etc. in liquid (usually hot) until the flavor is infused into the liquid." (Food Lover's Companion – Herbst and Herbst)
- Turmeric is often added to curry dishes because of its pungent flavor and intense yellow/orange color.
- Madras Curry Powder – "Widely used in Indian cooking. Madras is the "hotter" version of curry powder; which is a pulverized blend of up to 20 spices, herbs and seeds." (Food Lover's Companion – Herbst and Herbst)

I was unable to get to my usual Wal-Mart to check, but I'm telling myself the case of ML-14 they put up Wednesday was all they put out, and it's probably not too far from the truth. Plus, I did finally finish my Giant Man, so I'm not too worried about it.

Updating my Streamer Pages Site.
er promising it many times, I'm finally getting off my fat ass and creating a new streamer page entitled;
The NEW Streamer Page + Wets
This page will be more technically oriented than the old. I'll be dropping the trips section and making significant additions to technique, tackle, and flies. I'm also adding a Wet flies section as the dividing line between wets and streamers isn't that great and I employ them with equal frequency.
The old page had more of a trout orientation but the new one will also feature:
Bass, Pike, Musky, Stripers, and maybe Panfish.
The tying section will only cover flies of my own design that have actually been proved to work (minis, weamers, etc.). Unlike the old one, the tying section will be more detailed. I received the odd complaint that the old instructions were too sparse. I'm also going to continue the experimental aspect, including things like my lead foil, bent flies that mimic spoons when stripped or swung, or dead minnows when drifted.
In the technique section, I'll be examining both proven and experimental techniques. I'm going to have a close look at the methods of our hardware brothers and sisters to see what can be learned/adapted.
I'll also be taking a good look at different materials and concepts, such as Sandy P's soft-bodied flies and my weamers.
I'm of two minds regarding a gallery -- depends on what people want.
My links section is intended to connect only to those sites that, in terms of subject matter, complement mine. Ditto the books review section.
Having said all of this, I'm prepared to adjust pretty well anything if someone comes up with a better idea.

Tsunami or No Tsunami
Credit: United States Geological Survey

License: CC BY-NC 3.0
Some earthquakes around Indonesia generate tsunami and some do not. Earthquakes caused by the convergence of plates in a trench are more likely to.
Why It Matters
- The 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami killed almost twice as many people as the second deadliest tsunami on record.
- The tsunami was the result of a magnitude 9.1 quake off of Sumatra, Indonesia.
- Subduction off the Indonesian coast produces many large earthquakes.
- Not all of these earthquakes generate tsunami.
- Tsunamis can be caused by the sea floor distorting and vertically deplacing the water on top. The four images below show the process of how an earthquake casues a tsunami. 1) Tectonic plate boundary prior to the earthquake. 2) Stress overtime of the overriding plate causes tectonic uplift. 3) Plate slips seward, causing subsidence and provides water with energy starting a tsunami. 4) The energy in the water creates tsunami waves that move toward (growing bigger) and away from shore.
Can You Apply It?
With the link below, learn more about tsunami. Then answer the following questions.
- What do you think would have happened if the Boxing Day earthquake had been magnitude 7.1 instead of 9.1? Why?
- What was the geophysics of the 2004 earthquake and tsunami?
- What was the geophysics of the 2012 earthquake? Why was there no significant tsunami?
- How does the tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean work?

September 2010 — GAO´s Comments on Fourth Round of Recipient Reporting
What GAO Found
Many Recipients Are Citing Greater Ease Meeting Recovery Act Reporting Requirements, but Some Recipients Continue to Face Difficulties Calculating Jobs
According to Recovery.gov, as of August 24, 2010, recipients reported on close to 200,000 awards indicating that the Recovery Act funded approximately 750,000 jobs during the quarter beginning April 1, 2010, and ending June 30, 2010[1]. As reported by the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (the Board), the job calculations are based on the number of hours worked in a quarter and funded under the Recovery Act and expressed in FTEs. Officials from many states reported that the recipient reporting process was, by this fourth round, becoming routine. Given that no new reporting guidance was issued by OMB during the quarter and that a time extension was again granted by the Board, recipients indicated they had few problems reporting. The FTE calculations, however, continue to be difficult for some recipients as evidenced by our field work in selected jurisdictions covering two energy programs.
Under the Recovery Act, recipients are to file reports for any quarter in which they receive Recovery Act funds directly from the federal government. Reporting requirements apply to nonfederal recipients of funding, including entities such as state and local governments, educational institutions, nonprofits, and other private organizations. These requirements apply to recipients who receive funding through the Recovery Act's discretionary appropriations, not recipients receiving funds through entitlement programs, such as Medicaid, or tax provisions. Certain other exceptions apply, such as for individuals. Under the Recovery Act, recipients are required to submit reports no later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The Board extended the reporting deadline by several days for all four rounds of reporting.
What GAO DidBack to top
The recipient reporting section of this report responds to the Recovery Act's mandate that GAO comment on the estimates of jobs created or retained by direct recipients of Recovery Act funds. For GAO's review of the fourth submission of recipient reports, covering the period from April 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010, GAO built on findings from three prior reviews of the reports, covering the period from February 2009 through March 30, 2010. GAO performed edit checks and basic analyses on the fourth submission of recipient report data that became publicly available at Recovery.gov on July 30, 2010. GAO interviewed federal agency officials from the Department of Energy, who have responsibility for ensuring a reasonable degree of quality across their programs' recipient reports. GAO also interviewed representatives from a variety of state associations, such as the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers, and Treasurers and the National Association of State Budget Officers, to obtain their views on whether the process of recipient reporting has had an effect on intergovernmental interactions.
From the fourth submission of recipient reports, GAO reviewed reports for two energy programs, EECBG and the Weatherization Assistance Program, to determine whether they had used Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance for calculating their full-time equivalents (FTE) funded by the Recovery Act. GAO interviewed 13 EECBG state-level and 19 local government recipients from 17 selected jurisdictions about their FTE calculations for the fourth round of reporting. GAO also interviewed 8 state-level weatherization assistance recipients and 17 local government weatherization assistance subrecipients from the 17 selected jurisdictions about their FTE calculations. In some instances, GAO reviewed supporting documentation with quarterly FTE reports, and assessed the validity of those calculations in complying with OMB guidance. Due to the limited number of recipients reviewed and the judgmental nature of the selection, GAO's FTE findings are not generalizable beyond the programs examined. In addition, state teams also interviewed government officials from the 16 selected states and the District to discuss issues that arose in the fourth reporting period statewide, specifically related to any difficulties they encountered during the fourth round of reporting, development of their state Web sites, and their views on whether the recipient reporting requirements have affected intergovernmental interactions. GAO also asked these officials about ongoing state plans for managing, tracking, and reporting on Recovery Act funding and activities and solicited feedback from state officials regarding how states are using data generated from the recipient reporting effort and ways the recipient reporting process could be improved.
For GAO's complete comments on the fourth round of recipient reporting see pages 143-158 of the September 20, 2010 report, Opportunities to Improve Management and Strengthen Accountability over States' and Localities' Uses of Funds.
- [1] Under the continuous corrections period, recipients were able to modify this round of submissions from August 3, 2010, through September 20, 2010. The final update of this round of recipient reported data should occur on September 22, 2010.

Hey you first-period Wisconsin turkey hunters. I'm suffering turkey hunting withdrawal, & need hunting stories to get me through to when my fourth period finally comes around. I need to be reassured that the turkeys made it though another Wisconsin winter.
Doesn't matter if you bagged one or had a close encounter or just heard a few. First period hunting stories, please.
Hope the weather was better for you those 5 days than it was here in NE Wis ... many of the 5 days were high winds, cold, & rain/snow.

Dir. Mike Mendez
When their friend dies in a car accident, Harris (Dominic Purcell), Kira (Josie Maran) and Sid (Marcus Thomas), three old college friends, reunite at his funeral. They decide to catch up and give their friend a fitting send off; so after the funeral they head back to the cemetery with lots of wine, good intentions and high spirits. When they discover a strange poem on an anonymous sympathy card, urging them to celebrate life and dance on the graves of the dead, they do so. A few days later our revellers are terrorised by the ghosts of the people whose graves they danced upon. Desperate, the trio turn to a paranormal investigator to help them break the curse and save their souls…
Director Mike Mendez moves away from the overtly comedic aspects of his earlier outrageous shocker The Convent, to craft a genuinely dark and thrilling film.
After a spectacularly intense and nerve-rattling opening in which a young woman is brutally murdered by an unseen force (recalling the grisly opening scenes of Dario Argento's Suspiria) the film takes its time to establish characters and story in the moodiest way possible. At first they think it is just a series of bizarre coincidences: Alison (Clare Kramer) even suspects that Kira, Harris' ex, is stalking her and hiding in the house to try and drive her away from Harris. The sense of paranoia and warped perspective is nicely realised. Mendez manoeuvres his camera stealthily throughout proceedings like the waft of an eerie breeze. It prowls along the floor, up stairs, peers around doors and walls, over the shoulders of actors and generally sets the viewer on edge.
The film's look belies its low budget and the array of special effects on display are masterfully handled: even the nightmarishly large disembodied head that plunges after the survivors as they make their frantic getaway doesn't seem that ridiculous in the context of the story. The first act concentrates on the characters' growing awareness of their predicament and Mendez handles this with a slow-burn approach, racking up the tension and jolting the nerves every now and again. This dark atmosphere, bloated with dread and an unsettling stillness, is maintained until about two thirds of the way through and then Mendez lets rip with a full-on assault of shocks, blood, genuinely menacing ghosts and a good old fashioned haunted house finale.
The ghosts, when they are finally revealed in all their grisly glory are a sickeningly gruesome lot: an axe-wielding murderess, a disturbed pyromaniac and a sadistic sex pest. The chilling visage of each of these spectral fiends is reminiscent of the ghoulish medium in the Drop of Water segment of Mario Bava's Black Sabbath anthology: all wide toothy grins and bulging eyes.
There is a distinct touch of the gothic about The Gravedancers. It harks back to a certain era of horror cinema without seeming contrived. A number of scenes featuring Harris and his wife Alison being menaced in their own home deploy that old faithful gothic-horror stalwart of the piano that plays spooky music until someone walks into the room and then it stops. The film is peppered with moments of doors slowly opening into darkened rooms; the camera hanging back and hovering cautiously as though anticipating something jumping out at us.
The music and sound effects also work to enhance the creepiness, every little creak or rumble is designed to set the audience on edge. Of course, as mentioned, the film isn't all quiet eeriness and foreboding: as events rush towards the climax and the special effects are given more screen-time, The Gravedancers begins to resemble a jolting ghost-train ride – exciting, a little unsettling but never anything short of fun. While it doesn't display the bawdy humour of The Convent, the film still retains a kind of irreverent humour akin to the likes of Drag Me To Hell or The Frighteners.
One of the stand-out scenes unfolds in the hospital where Kira is recuperating after her attack. As Alison wanders through the empty corridors waiting for Harris, she finds a body on a stretcher covered in a white sheet. As she cautiously approaches, the sheet becomes soiled with copious amounts of blood as whatever is under it haemorrhages in a highly grotesque fashion. As she turns to call for help, the body sits up and what follows is brief but shocking.
The character of Kira experiences a number of really quite intense attacks, made all the more sickening because of their sexual nature. Another taut and frenzied moment occurs when she is attacked by some invisible force in her hospital room and an innocent nurse is dragged into the fracas with bloody consequences. As Alison, Clare Kramer gives one of the best performances in the film and is, strangely enough, quite reminiscent of Sheryl Lee. Also worth mentioning is Megahn Perry as Frances, one of the paranormal investigators. She was also one of the standout performers in Mendez's earlier film The Convent, and she exudes a similar wit and charm here, too.
The Gravedancers is a well written, well oiled thrill ride. When it comes to delivering goosebumps and jolts, Mendez really knows how to deliver. The film was unsurprisingly one of the featured titles in the 8 Films to Die for at the After Dark Horrorfest in 2006, alongside the likes of The Abandoned and Penny Dreadful.
A good old fashioned supernatural chiller.

What does "provide you five dimension options" mean? Website does not provide any more info.
I'm having a little trouble imaging how to ensure aligment of a 10cm x 10cm (or smaller) board inside the very much larger frame area.
Ah. I wasn't thinking "dimension" as frame sizes. Thanks.As a hobbyist, I am used to taping a mylar stencil onto a board.I'm having a little trouble imaging how to ensure aligment of a 10cm x 10cm (or smaller) board inside the very much larger frame area.
For assembling small batch of the PCBAs, we will penalizing the boards and using a clip machine to align the boards to the stencil and fix them. We are writing a blog about how the PCB assembly works for small batch of the PCBs.Another good news is our PCB services support same boards penalizing, only need add little money, and you will get double or more boards, especial suit for the boards with 5*10cm dimension, for example, you only need to pay $31.9, and got 20 separated 5*10cm boards or 10 10*10cm penalized boards which with V-groove. For the boards which with V-groove, you don't need to cut them buy yourself any more.

The busy times are upon us.
I'm not going to get much work done (Open Source or otherwise) for the next month. Firstly this weekend I'm off up to an old mining town called Walhalla where my partner is finishing the hike she's been on for the last seven weeks. Then in the middle of next week I'm off to Adelaide for a choral festival that runs until 11 February. Then I'm back in Melbourne for four days, then back to Adelaide again for Womadelaide which is a three day world music festival that runs every two years. After that, I finally get to stay in the same place for a while, I hope. =)

Acclaimed British novelist Ian McEwan, this year's Belknap Visitor in the Humanities at Princeton, will read and discuss his work at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, in McCosh 50.
McEwan's novels include "Amsterdam," which won the Booker Prize for Fiction in 1998; "Atonement," which is coming out as a major film this year; "Saturday," which was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize; and "On Chesil Beach," which is shortlisted for this year's Booker Prize to be announced Oct. 16.
McEwan's works capture the darker, disquieting elements of human relations and span varied subjects including quantum dynamics, neurosurgery and musical composition. In addition to his novels, he has published short stories and written television and film screenplays.
As Belknap Visitor at Princeton, McEwan joins a distinguished roster of eminent writers and artists, including Chuck Close, Don DeLillo, Nadine Gordimer, Arthur Miller, Richard Serra, Maurice Sendak and Meryl Streep, who delivered last year's Belknap lecture. The lecture is sponsored by the Council of the Humanities.

Relatively speaking, it was a pretty quiet weekend as September turns to October. However, there was some news as LSU landed its second four-star pledge in the span of three days, and a five-star junior college star opened things back up.
Quarterman for your thoughts: Presumably, LSU hoops fans will no longer be concerned about whether or not Johnny Jones is going to be able to recruit at the SEC level. After landing four-star power forward Jordan Mickey on Thursday night, the Tigers struck again on Sunday when they landed point guard Tim Quarterman.
Tim Quarterman became the second four-star to choose LSU in three days. A 6-foot-5 product of Savannah (Ga.) Johnson, Quarterman is a highly versatile guard who can conceivably play shooting guard and small forward in addition to the point. He's lean but wiry strong, very good off the dribble and has really emerged as a scorer over the last year. Currently ranked No. 63 in the 2013 Rivals150, Quarterman was one of the summer's biggest risers as he seemingly came out of nowhere to put himself on the national map. LSU started stalking him in July and built a strong relationship with Quarterman and his family that was cemented when he visited officially a few weeks ago.
When you pair Quarterman with Mickey, you are talking about two athletic and improving players. Mickey is a very athletic 6-foot-8 forward who plays from the inside out, blocks shots, rebounds and really runs the floor. They are the exact type of players that are perfect for Jones running system and potential impact players as freshmen.
There wasn't one guy questioning the hire after CJJ's opening press conference.
when everyone was speculating who would be the next coach and naming a ton of reasons why CJJ would be a bad hire.

NASCAR: Midseason Analysis
Posted on 6 Jul 2011 by Joseph Hopkins.
We're sitting sixteen races in, nineteen to go in the 2011 season. Before the season, I wrote a preview article on the best drivers of 2011: http://www.prosportsblogging.com/2011/02/03/top-20-nascar-drivers-of-2011/ It was pretty popular. I got more hits on that article than any other. It was also fun to write. So here's a sequal. You're going to find fast that my preseason picks had some big ...

By Grace L. Williams
When it rains, it pours, even in the world of analyst updates, of which there is no shortage today. We went digging and here are five updates we couldn't wait to share with you this afternoon.
Rio Tinto (RIO) was named a Top Pick in European Metals and Mining by Bernstein's Paul Gait who noted that Rio's cash generation continues to surprise the market and wrote:
Top line surprises combined with Rio throttling back on capital expenditure will drive a gap between cash flow generation and outflows. We see no reason why the resultant de-gearing of Rio's balance sheet should not see its dividend double. Benefits come at a surprisingly low cost: Rio offers 17% real return versus nominal sovereign debt yield of 4%. Rio has one of the highest quality industrial asset bases in the world…
Master limited partnership Dominion Resources (D) grabbed our attention after UBS analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith upgraded it to Buy from Neutral and lifted the price target to $72 from $63 on anticipation that a "mid-year spin of the MLP" will generate about $4 per share in value. "We see capacity to drive double digit distribution growth through the decade," Dumoulin-Smith wrote. Dominion is scheduled to report earnings sometime between Jan. 27 and 31.
Valero Energy (VLO) will report earnings on Jan. 29 and analyst Ann Kohler of Imperial Capital is bullish on them today. She raised the oil company's price target to $49 from $41 and maintained an In-Line rating. In the note, Kohler wrote:
Due to improved crude price differentials, and thus expectations of refinery throughput at the top of management's guidance, we estimate that Valero will report adjusted fourth-quarter 2013 income of 97 cents, up from our previous estimate of 60 cents.
McDonald's (MCD) made the list after Morgan Stanley's John Glass upgraded it to Overweight (hold your sarcasm) calling it, "one of few laggards with underappreciated competitive advantages." McDonald's will report earnings on Jan. 23.
We've saved Monsanto (MON) for last. The sometimes controversial, often inflammatory maker of agriculture "stuff" was downgraded by JPMorgan today after reporting a quarterly profit of $368 million, or 69 cents a share on revenue of $3.14 billion, beating analysts' expectations of 64 cents a share on revenue of $3.08 a share.
In the note, Jeffrey Zekauskas wrote that the domestic price of corn is at risk this year:
In the event of an above-average or normal harvest with the corn stocks-to-use ratio now at 13.7% possibly limiting Monsanto's pricing power. Likely lower planted corn acres in the United States and Brazil will challenge Monsanto to increase corn seed volumes in fiscal 2014. Glyphosate prices and earnings may peak in the first half of 2014 and then come under pressure in the second half or in fiscal 2015 given negative China price trends.
We made a quick check and as of 3pm, the companies were trading like so: Dominion Resources has gained 2.5$% to $66.36 at 3:23 p.m., McDonald's has ticked up 0.1% to $95.47 and Valero has advanced 1.9% to $52.85. Monsanto has dropped 2.7% to $112.08 and Rio Tinto has fallen 2.3% to $51.21.

Growing primarily on the Pacific Coast from the waters off the shores of California all the way up to the waters off the coast of Alaska and Canada, Kelp is found in tiered forest-like developments. Featuring canopies and several under layers, quite similarly to rainforests, Kelp forests contain two main species Nereocystis leutkeana (bull kelp) and Macrocystis pyrifera (Giant Kelp). Found largely near the southern portions, Macrocystis pyrifera is brown in color, as is Nereocystis leutkeana, which is found primarily in the northern kelp forests.
Growing along rocky coastlines, Kelp forests prefer cool water located in areas where the sun's rays can readily reach them. Warmer water contains greater supplies of dissolved inorganic nitrogen, leading to significantly slower growth for Kelp forests. This is evidenced during the summer months when marine water turns seasonably warmer. Survival for Kelp is linked to how strongly each plant is anchored to the rock on which it is formed. Rather than a root system, Kelp using holdfasts called anchors to keep them in place. Furthermore, Kelp growth and survival is determined in part by salinity, the motion of the waves, and presence of predatory urchins.
Beginning as spores from the parent Kelp, both types grow into mature plants known as sporophytes. Giant Kelp features pneumatocysts, or small gas bladders, that act as floatation devices to keep the upper regions of Kelp floating freely. The smaller of these two brown Kelps, the bull Kelp, has only a single pneumatocyst that it shares with several blades. A perennial type of algae, Giant Kelp can live for as many as seven years, whereas its smaller counterpart, bull Kelp, can only survive a single year as it is an annual algae type.
Not only does Kelp support its own ecosystem, but it has been discovered to be useful for a variety of purposes. Kelp has been used traditionally in cooking either as an ingredient or as a side dish by the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Today, it is eaten in other countries as an ingredient found in salads, soups, stews, and more.
Due to its environment, Kelp has a high mineral content that includes calcium, copper, iodine, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, chlorine, potassium, and selenium. Since Kelp is rich in iodine, it makes it an excellent choice for individuals looking to balance their metabolism. Iodine is essential in the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, and Kelp can help to produce important thyroid hormones. Also as a rich source of calcium, Kelp can help to maintain healthy bones and teeth. Due to such high levels of these minerals, Kelp is commonly utilized in beauty care formulas for the hair, including conditioners, shampoos and treatments. In particular, both calcium and magnesium promote hair growth as they help to maintain healthy hair follicles.
Kelp is also rich in Omega-3, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and the B-complex vitamins (thiamine, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and folate). Due to its supplies of Omega-3, Kelp is noted for supporting the human circulatory system.
Kelp has been used in the process of making soap since the late 1880s when it was discovered that Kelp ash is a useful ingredient for soap making. Not only does Kelp ash offer excellent cleansing capabilities, but it also delivers exfoliating and moisturizing functionality. Therefore, Kelp is commonly found in body washes and salt scrubs as one of the primary ingredients. It also functions as a detoxifying element in cleansing products since it draws toxins produced by the body to itself.
Marine Kelp contains a fibrous material known as alginate. This substance is used to help eliminate fat in the human body due to its fat-absorbing capabilities. Weight-loss supplements have been made using Marine Kelp to help people who are actively trying to manage their weight. Kelp supplements have grown in popularity, along with an increase in the production of tea made from this particular type of algae.
Also containing high levels of amino acids, Brown Kelp delivers the ability to stimulate collagen levels within the human skin, enhancing the skin's natural elasticity. Due to this rejuvenating capability, Brown Kelp gleaned from the sea is often used as an ingredient in modern cleansing formulas, toners, facial masks, and moisturizing creams and lotions.

Over the past year Federated Farmers has been very involved in several international meetings and conferences in the hope of supporting government and industry efforts to increase the country's trading opportunities.
Trade is a cornerstone of New Zealand's agricultural sector which exports about 90 per cent of what it produces.
Federated Farmers is making sure New Zealand's farming industry is well represented on the world trade stage with national president Bruce Wills about to take a seat on the board of the World Farmers Organisation. This means he can directly talk to fellow farm leaders about their concerns around opening up trading access and share New Zealand's experience of how freeing trade has helped farmers run better and more efficient businesses.
"A number of trade deals - both bi-lateral and multi-lateral - which are in varying stages of completion at present will have huge benefits for agricultural trade," Wills says.
"We are watching these closely because we know the importance to our members, and the rest of the country, of selling into higher-value markets."
He will be taking on the role as Oceania's representative on the World Farming Organisation (WFO) at the group's next meeting being held in Tokyo in April, which will give him wider opportunities to promote the successes of New Zealand farming in a subsidy-free and free-trade environment.
"There are countries which are deeply sceptical of free trade as their farmers are worried that they would not be able to compete in a subsidy-free and barrier-free trading environment," Wills says.
"This was clearly demonstrated to me at our last WFO meeting in Rome. At that meeting 31 countries were represented, of those 31 only three supported free trade. However, we are living proof that an open trading environment actually makes for a more resilient and competitive industry, which is what we have here in New Zealand."
He is enthusiastic about the possibilities which would open up around the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). This would substantially expand the existing Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement or P4 agreement between New Zealand, Brunei, Chile and Singapore to include Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, the United States, Vietnam, and possibly Japan and South Korea.
"This deal would make New Zealand part of a trading club worth US$21 trillion, larger even than the European Union," Wills says.
"In order to work the TPP must eliminate all tariffs which are used to protect domestic industries from competition. Any other non-tariff condition or restriction needs to have a real science-based rationale, such as biosecurity. The goal is to have trade which is open, accessible and above all, honest.
"If we can get a high-quality deal from the outset, especially one with water tight tariff phase-outs and rigour around 'non-trade barriers', New Zealand farmers and the whole economy will benefit."
"New Zealand has a reputation for 'walking the talk' when it comes to negotiating these deals," Minister of Trade Tim Groser says.
Groser, who is widely regarded internationally as a top candidate to take over the director-general of the World Trade Organisation this year, says expanding the number of free-trade partnerships is essential for New Zealand's economy.
"We must also diversify our risk. For instance, at present demand is depressed in Europe and we are selling more goods into Asia, where market access can be more complex," Groser says.
Federated Farmers chief executive Conor English says there could be opportunities waiting in these emerging markets which have not been explored or even thought of yet.
"If we can get tariffs eliminated from these markets, opportunities will open up as selling new products becomes economically viable," English says.
"There are many products currently under-utilised. One example could be taking something which is not highly valued here, such as ox-tail, and selling it in a market where it is more highly valued."
Currently New Zealand has the Closer Economic Relationship (CER) with Australia, free-trade agreements (FTA) with China, ASEAN, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore, a Closer Economic Partnership (CEP) with Thailand and the P4 Agreement.
Groser says calculating the precise numerical value of FTA's is difficult, but points to the example of China as a newly opened trading area which is benefiting New Zealand.
"Exports to China more than doubled in the first three years since the FTA was signed," he says.
"Note that all of New Zealand's top 10 exports to China are agricultural or forestry products. At a 'first principles' level, our FTAs have allowed us to gain and maintain market share, returning ultimately more value to New Zealand for the products we sell.
"Free trade, without tariffs or other barriers, is the most fair way of ensuring everyone gets a good deal for their goods.
"[Without FTAs] other exporting countries, like Australia, Brazil or Chile, which enjoy preferential trade deals with some of our favoured markets, might edge us out of those markets if they can circumvent those barriers, so there is a competition element too. Ultimately it boils down to achieving a fair deal for our exporters and earning our way in the world," Groser says.
These barriers have been erected and kept in place because of many international farmers' fears about their ability to farm economically.
"This is why Federated Farmers is making a concerted effort to build relationships with international farming organisations, such as the WFO," English says.
"Despite seeing that New Zealand farmers do not just survive, but thrive in a post-subsidy era, international farmers and agricultural lobbyists around the world remain sceptical about ditching protectionist measures such as tariffs.
"That is why the partnerships and relationships which the Federation is working to strengthen with international farming groups is vital."
While there have been high profile free-trade deals made with the likes of Hong Kong and China over the last few years and more under way with other large emerging markets such as India, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, English said convincing countries such as Canada and Japan to relax tariffs on products such as butter and beef could do a lot to improve returns for farmers at the farm-gate.
Having good trade relationships was good for both countries involved, helping encourage more efficient production and strengthening ties between countries.
This was evident when looking both at the well-established Closer Economic Relations deal between New Zealand and Australia which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and the more recent FTA with China.
"These are now our number one and number two trading partners in the world," English says.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand chief executive Dr Scott Champion says "we live in a world of bilateral and multi-lateral deals".
"In the absence of meaningful progress on the World Trade Organisation more and more countries are looking at how they can improve the prospects for their productive sectors, as well as offer more choice and opportunity for their consumers, and better access to education and investment opportunities overall.
"New Zealand needs to keep up with the pace and needs to continue to seek out better access to the growing middle class in Asia and other emerging markets."
Wills says the Federation remains highly supportive of the efforts which have been made by successive governments to encourage trade liberalisation globally.
"We have a very good relationship with the Minister and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade," Wills says.
"With the WTO's Doha agreement stalled at present, we are pleased with the progress on negotiating FTAs with important trading partners which has been made.
"Encouraging progress has been made in recent years, with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and free-trade agreements with China, ASEAN, Malaysia, and Hong Kong."
The Federation also welcomes the work to secure agreements with countries such as the United States, Arab Gulf States, India, Korea, and Russia, as well the efforts to expand the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Federated Farmers wants these agreements to be comprehensive and result in meaningful liberalisation of agricultural trade.
"The best way to promote economic growth, incomes, and jobs is to embrace trade not reject it," Wills says.

Tooth decay (destruction of tooth enamel) is the disease known as caries or cavities. Tooth decay is a highly preventable disease caused by bacteria and other factors. It can happen when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches), such as milk, soda, raisins, candy, cake, fruit juices, cereals, and bread, are left on the teeth. Bacteria that normally live in the mouth change these foods, making acids. The combination of bacteria, food, acid, and saliva form a substance called plaque that sticks to the teeth. Over time, the acids made by the bacteria eat away at the tooth enamel, causing cavities.
We all host bacteria in our mouths which makes everyone a potential target for cavities. Risk factors that put a person at a higher risk for tooth decay include:
High levels of the bacteria that cause cavities
Diets high in sweets, carbohydrates, and sugars
Water supplies with limited or no fluoridation
Poor oral hygiene
Reduced salivary flow
Age (children and older adults are at an increased risk for tooth decay)
The following is the common progression of tooth decay and dental caries, but each child may experience it differently:
White spots begin to form on the teeth in areas being affected. These spots suggest demineralization (breakdown of enamel) and may lead to early sensitivity.
Early cavity (hole) appears on the tooth that has a light brown color.
Cavity (hole) becomes deeper and color turns a darker shade of brown to black.
The symptoms of tooth decay and dental caries vary from child to child.
None. Cavities don't always show up with symptoms. Sometimes children don't know they have them until they are found by a dentist during an exam (looking in the mouth and visually inspecting) or by dental X-rays.
Sensitivity to sweets, food and/or cold beverages.
Dental caries is usually diagnosed based on a complete history, exam of your child's mouth, and dental X-rays. This may be done by your child's healthcare provider or your child's dentist
Preventing tooth decay and cavities involves these simple steps:
Start brushing your child's teeth as soon as the first one appears. Brush the teeth, tongue, and gums twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste, or supervise them brushing their teeth.
For children younger than 3 years old, use only a small amount of toothpaste, about the size of a grain of rice.
Starting at 3 years of age, use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.
Floss your child's teeth daily after age 2.
Make sure your child eats a well-balanced diet and limit or eliminate snacks that are sticky and high in sugars, such as chips, candy, cookies, and cake.
Talk with your child's healthcare provider or dentist about the use of supplemental fluoride, if you live in an area without fluoridated water.
Also ask about dental sealants and topical fluoride varnish. Both are applied to the teeth.
Schedule routine (every 6 months) dental cleanings and exams for your child.
Treatment, in most cases, requires removing the decayed part of the tooth and replacing it with a filling.
Fillings (also called restorations) are materials placed in teeth to repair damage caused by tooth decay (caries or cavities). Advances in dental materials and techniques provide new, effective ways to restore teeth.
There are several different types of restorations, including:
These need a single visit to place a filling directly into a prepared cavity or hole. Materials used for these filings include dental amalgam, also known as silver fillings; glass ionomers; resin ionomers; and composite (resin) fillings.
Amalgam fillings have been used for decades, and have been tested for safety and resistance to wear. Dentists have found amalgams to be safe, reliable, and effective for restorations.
Glass ionomers are tooth-colored materials made from fine glass powders and acrylic acids. These are used in small fillings that don't have to withstand heavy pressure from chewing. Resin composites are made from glass with acrylic acids and acrylic resin.
These require two or more visits and include inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, and bridges. These are constructed with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics, or composites. At the first visit, a dentist will prepare the tooth and make an impression of the area that will be restored. At the second visit, the dentist will place the new restoration into the prepared area. Some offices use newer technology called CAD/CAM (computer-aided design or computer-aided manufacturing) that allows them to make the indirect restoration in the office and deliver it at the same appointment, saving the patient a return visit.
For an indirect restoration, a dentist may use an all-porcelain, or ceramic, application. This material looks like natural tooth enamel in color and translucency. Another type of indirect restoration may use porcelain that's fused to metal. This provides additional strength. Gold alloys are used often for crowns or inlays and onlays. Less expensive alternatives to gold are base metal alloys that can be used in crowns and are resistant to corrosion and fracture. Indirect composites are similar to those used for fillings and are tooth-colored, but they aren't as strong as ceramic or metal restorations.

Charles (cmacd),
Thanks for your thoughtful post on OSS and 'Third World' social problems. Since I am not a well-connected youngster with a bunch of OSS buddies on Advogato to cross-certify me, I can't reply publicly to your post. At the moment, all I can do is post this diary post. (Update: I left 'Observer Hell' thanks to a couple additional confidence votes, so I can now post this entry as a reply!)
While I would agree with some that the Third World has massive problems which defy solution with software alone, folks who have replied to your article may be missing an important point.
It isn't what Third World 'Have-nots' do _directly_ with OSS initially that matters. Rather, it is far more important that 'guerrilla activists' have access to powerful software technologies to mount their own grassroots campaigns to contribute to solving these pressing social problems that matters.
For example, my wife and I were Executive Consultants in object technology at IBM leading the classic 'Road Warrior' lives and it was killing us, spiritually as well as physically. We are now hosts of Sohodojo, an OSS 'applied R&D Lab' where we are attempting to rally OSS developers to contribute to our 'role/actor executable business model' technology agenda.
We are doing this because we believe such technology is essential as the 'software infrastructure' for 'Small is Good' business-webs which we intend to apply in business development within the U.S. Enterprise Communities and Empowerment Zones. (You will often hear these communities referred to as 'distressed' or targets for 'renewal'.)
For us, it is more important what you do with technology rather than seeing technology as an end in itself. That is the greatest frustration I find with the OSS community. We have so many folks with all this energy and skills and they think that technology for its own sake is the motivation for what they do. Technology is only really valuable when you apply it to something useful.
For us, that did not mean traveling around the world helping IBM customers build yet another 'enterprise system'.
If you would like to know more about our perspective, including our recent political 'change insurgency', feel free to visit these URLs:
Shamrocks and Nanocorps: Bridging the Digital Divide with 'Small is Good' Business Webs
Our 'EC Inclusion Amendment' change insurgency where we are fighting 'pork barrel politics' which is threatening to subvert the 'American Community Renewal and New Markets Empowerment Act', and
Role/Actor Scenario Patterns: A Model-driven Approach to Entrepreneurial Free Agent 'Elastic Networking'
Again, thank you, Charles, for your provocative post. I am sure it will cause at least some folks to think about these important challenges.

text: To all the Brits out there, in April I am going to England for ten days. A few will be spent in Oxford, a few will be spent in London. I know you guys have Toys R Us over there, and a store called Tescos that probably sells action figures. I was wondering what other stores I could look in. Do WH Smiths sell figures? Please someone tell me what stores to look in. Of course I will go to Hamleys in London. What are their prices like?

Another neat little tid-bit, is at the end of the article preceding the section on Pattern Blinds with Diversions.
It goes a little something like this; "By the time a dog runs his fifth or sixth blind drill, he is often lining the blinds - that is, lining directly to the blind without any casts. At this point, you should quit running blind drills........"
I wonder why that is? Oh yeah, he goes on to say why, in the same sentence.
"..........because, you don't want the dog to become too accustomed to going back to a blind he's just been to."
"You should continue handling training with diversion work on the pattern blind field."

If you decide you might like to either train your retriever yourself or learn more so you can maintain your dog once it has been Pro trained, consider taking one of Mike Lardy's Retriever Training workshops. Our club is hosting two of Mike's workshops next year, just over the boarder from you in Aldergrove BC. We've arranged two back to back 4 day workshops; Basics June 21-24 and Advanced June 28-July 1st. I believe this is the first time this has been done, certainly the first in Canada and I believe too, first time Mike has conducted workshops on the West Coast (lower 49).
Registration opens in December from Mike's website. Or you can PM me for details.

A big man never looks down on others.... instead, he is someone to look up to.
I purchased a Sportdog 400S collar and am looking for a reputable trainer to help me train my dog on this collar. I live in Kirkland, WA near Seattle. I have not had any luck tapping into the hunting community since I don't hunt. I did call Cabella's to see if they knew of someone, but they were unable to help me. Would anyone know of a trainer in my area that would be willing to assist me in training my dog. He is a Redbone Coonhound/Plott Hound mix that I rescued at 6months of age. He had had no training when I got him and I have done my best to get him fairly well trained but need greater assistance in getting a 100% recall. I have had him now for 2 years.

Any fresh flat-leaf herb, such as dill weed, sage or marjoram, can be substituted for the Italian parsley.
Place the parsley leaves close together on the rolls; they'll shrink during baking, increasing the space between them.

Here we go... Another beaut.
Here we go... Another beaut.
They won't get rid of him
One would hope if Ireland is fired (which btw I don't think he will be) then Ross would involve Philbin in the decision making process to appoint a new GM.
If Ireland is fired the idea that Philbin will also be fired is a very real possibility since a new GM might want their own head coach. If Philbin is fired after just one season, even with a losing record, this franchise deserves all the negative attention and laughter we would get during the offseason.
Things look ugly right now, but firing Philbin and looking to replace Tannehill is not the way to go to try and fix things. New head coaches starting rookie quarterbacks usually have early struggles and growing pains, with some rare exceptions. Why can other teams be allowed to have those growing pains and the Dolphins can't? Starting completely over is not the way to go. If at the end of the year Ross decides Ireland is not the GM for the long term(I still think Ross is going to stick with him), you better hope that Ross lets Philbin pick the GM or that they promote from within.
Another complete startover(GM, head coach, QB) is just going to lead to more struggles and pain. You can't keep firing and replacing people after only one season, you can't build that way. If you want to fire and replace Ireland, fine, but make sure you are able to keep your head coach and quarterback in place.
neither ireland or philbin are going anywhere this offseason...so hold your damn breath when ireland pulls the trigger on these "playmakers" in the draft...
Philibin was given an Accord and asked to turn it into a Ferrari. Not gonna happen, and will take time. No playmakers at all, none. Grinding out drives and stuff doesn't really seem to benefit the Offense anymore due to one mistake can just ruin it all.
We would be better off winging the ball downfield trying to get PI calls at this point.
fire ireland . keep philbin . promote brian gaine
I doubt it.
If firing Ireland means losing philbin than so be it. If we lose philbin, does that hurt the team and its progress? Maybe. If Ireland is still here, will we continue to flounder and have no chance of success? Definitely.
Ill take my chances with the maybe.


text: To be honest, I'm selfishly hoping the Cardinals cut him so we can sign him. Maybe if he costs ZILCH Ireland will finally give the guy a chance. No doubt in my mind he's a starter on our team and most teams in the NFL honestly. I believe Tannehill will pound the table for him if he's cut.

Hopefully the lack of the DH helps us lessen the chances of an ass kicking like we got in Oakland.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Final Score tonight:
Reds 4
A's 2
I like it when the Reds win. Go Reds!

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is donating half a billion dollars in Facebook stock to a Silicon Valley charity in his largest donation to date. As reported by The Associated Press, the recipient is the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which will decide, along with Zuckerberg, exactly how to dish out the cash. It has been said that the money will be used to focus on health and education issues.
The donation of 18 million shares had a closing price of $498.8 million on Tuesday, making it roughly five times the size of Zuckerberg's 2010 donation to Newark, New Jersey's public school system. Later the same year, Zuckerberg signed the Giving Pledge, an initiative engineered by Bill Gates asking the world's richest to give away the majority of their fortunes.
He's probably readin this right now.
Wonder how long they have to hold the stock, or if it will be spread out over 10-20 years.

Are ya'll forgetting about all that oil we will be getting from Brazil..wasn't just last week he sent money to get started and told them we would buy everthing there produced ????
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42335437...s-white_house/Sounds like a great idea to some people, I imagine.The president also ordered government agencies to ensure that by 2015, all new vehicles they purchase are alternative-fuel vehicles, including hybrid and electric. Obama has previously set a goal of putting 1 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads by 2015.
In PA, however, there is a State mandate for electric companies to reduce residential electric consumption ... or be fined for failing to meet the reduction quotas.
In that vein, our local electric utility has incentivized its customers to switch from electric heat to other forms, like oil and gas In fact, they have offered rebates for users to do this in the past year.
So, if we have to charge those electric cars at home, this will run counter to the State "plan" for reducing electrical consumption.
Try telling a real estate agent to use an electric car to show homes! Might work in NYC, but it sure doesn't work outside a city environment.
Heat homes with other stuff, use what oil available to run the cars until they come up with a realistic solution to the latter.

4.3: Direction
If you came upon a sign like this, you'd probably have a hard time deciding which way to go because all the arrows point in different directions. Imagine traveling several miles in one of the directions indicated by the sign. Now suppose that a friend travels the same distance in another direction indicated by the sign. You and your friend would end up in very different locations. Obviously, direction is an important component of motion.
Introducing Direction
Direction can be described in relative terms, such as up, down, in, out, left, right, forward, backward, or sideways. Direction can also be described with the cardinal directions: north, south, east, or west. On maps, cardinal directions are indicated with a compass rose. You can see one in the bottom left corner of the map in the Figure below. You can use the compass rose to find directions on the map. For example, to go to the school from Jordan's house, you would travel from east to west. If you wanted to go on to the post office, you would change direction at the school and then travel from south to north.
Why Direction Is Important
Look again at the map above. The distance from Jordan's house to the post office is 3 km. But if Jordan told a friend how to reach the post office from his house, he couldn't just say "go 3 kilometers." The friend might end up at the park instead of the post office. Jordan would have to include direction as well as distance. He could say, "go west for 2 kilometers and then go north for 1 kilometer."
Motion and Vectors
When both distance and direction are considered, motion can be represented by a vector. A vector is a measurement that has both size and direction. It may be represented by an arrow. If you are representing motion with an arrow, the length of the arrow represents distance, and the way the arrow points represents direction. The red arrows on the map above are vectors for Jordan's route from his house to the school and from the school to the post office. If you want to learn more about vectors, watch the video at this URL:
Q: How would you draw arrows to represent the distances and directions from the post office to the park on the map in the Figure above?
A: The vectors would look like this (See Figure below):
- Direction is an important component of motion.
- A compass rose shows cardinal directions on a map.
- A vector is a measurement that has both size and direction and may be represented by an arrow. A vector can be used to represent both distance and direction of motion.
- vector: Measure such as velocity that includes both size and direction; may be represented by an arrow.
At the following URL, read the introduction to vectors and try the animations. Then answer the questions below.
- Compare scalars and vectors. Give an example of each that is related to motion.
- How can the direction part of a vector be expressed as a number?
- Think of a short route you commonly take, such as the route from your home to a friend's house or your school. Describe the direction(s) and distance(s) you travel over this route.
- What is a vector? How can an arrow represent distance and direction of motion?
- Draw vectors to represent these motions:
- moving 3 cm to the right
- moving 2 cm to the left
