"Survival Mom" who said on the Survivalist Boards that they did a lot of things for "dramatic" effects.
From SM:
Since I was one of the preppers in the show, let me give you a little background. First, we had no idea whatsoever what the expert would say about our preps. The producer sent me casually worded questions in emails and, unknown to me, forwarded them to his 'expert'. At no point did he ever tell me that someone else was reading my emailed responses.
Since we had no idea what the critique would be, we were told to give a variety of vocal and facial responses -- nodding our head like, "He's got a point," to "I'm not so sure about that." When I was first asked to be a part of this, I turned them down, and it wasn't until they revamped their plan, that I agreed. The whole "expert critique" thing wasn't handled honestly, though, and they did the editing as they saw fit.
As far as finding silver quarters in circulation, I actually would challenge someone to do just that! I'm always checking my change and 1971 or so is the oldest quarter I've yet to find. I'm certain that any 90% silver coins out there are being returned to the Mint.
I'd be happy to answer any questions about our experience. I'm not concerned about Opsec because we are in the process of relocating, and the sooner we get out of this desert, the better!
Moral of the story: Don't believe everything you see on television.Quote:
Can I add one more comment? That delivery truck at night? TOTAL FAKE. We would NEVER do that and have no reason to. The producer needed drama and other than an occasional fight between my kids, we really don't have any drama around here. LOL Making a big to do about delivering food at night would, he thought, illustrate opsec. And, remember, the audience they were going for are NOT the survivalists/preppers out there!
Oh, one other thing. Someone emailed me and asked about the whole evacuation thing. Not everyone in America has a friend or family member who owns a farm or lives on acreage in a little rural town. If we want to bug out to a relative's home, we'll have to hightail it to Texas, some 1500 miles away. Not impossible but also not the most practical thing when TSHF.
Because we live in the Phoenix area, we are a virtual island surrounded by hundreds of miles of desert and there are very few routes out of town. We have two young kids. Exactly how are we supposed to evacuate? On foot? On our bikes? If there ever were a worst case disaster in Phoenix, the safest place to be will be at home, NOT on one of the 3 or 4 routes out of town, especially in the summer.
It's not that we haven't discussed getting out of Dodge but I'd rather face whatever may happen in Phoenix, than face 200 miles of desert. Some preppers have no choice but to hunker down, and at the moment, that includes us. And then, of course, we have our security plans, which we didn't discuss with NatGeo.
I probably should be writing this on my blog.
As far as the others are concerned, I saw the guy with the swimming pool set up on YouTube before and the other two guys in the large cabin have their own YouTube Channels:
Davids channel
Scotts channel

I recently had a long discussion on x-rays and dog training with one of the MI forum members, I think he said he goes by dead eye duck or dead eye dan, I cant remember. Anyway we were arguing the merits of different field expedient training methods with a shock collar. Wanted some input
1. should you shock your dog in the water. he says no, I say if the dog screws up you have to make him know it wherever he is.
2. he uses a technique that while innavative seems a little odd. he says he uses 2 shock collars (one on each side of the dogs neck) and shocks the collar on the off side he wants his dog to go. So if he wants it to go left he hits the dog with the right collar and vise versa. His thinking is the dog will go the oppisite direction to avoid the pain. I think this would just confuse my dog, but hes pretty dumb to begin with. Would two collars work? How much would a couple of shock collars cost. Id really like to teach my dog hand signals and if this is a good method then Ill give it a go
Thanks for any help

Monday May 14, 2012
Just before five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, this season's version of the rollercoaster we all choose to ride on as Gooners finally came to a standstill. With a grin from ear to ear it was time to get off!
Looking back at my experiences over the last 35 years or so, some of them not so good but many many more quite fantastic, I don't think I can remember a season to compare with this one.
Even while not challenging with two of the game's financial superpowers at the very summit, as Gooners we all went into the last day with a huge amount to play for and of course all those nerves that go with it.
The enormous benefits of finishing in the top three are both long and numerous but there is no doubt the race has included far more 'spice' this season and not just because there have been a number of clubs challenging.
Our 'difficult' start certainly made it look like being a very long and hard season and although one could argue it still has, I don't think even the most optimistic of all of us Gooners could see us sitting proudly in third place come May.
The most valid reason, certainly as far as us fans are concerned, is the fact when things didn't look good our local rivals, quoting much of the media and fanbase here, were 'enjoying their greatest season for over 50 years'.
Certainly on the vast majority of football fan, blog and social media sites, us Gooners were enduring a right royal and ultimately premature 'bashing'. All of us in red and white are well aware that it was from this very period the 'Mind the Gap' aspect arose.
Admittedly I am one of those who is a little unsure of exactly how big that 'gap' was but two things I do know. It was extremely large and daunting at the time but how good it feels right now that a decision was made somewhere to taunt us so vigorously!
The carefully-created logos, t-shirts and photographs published at the time seem to be all the more numerous now and so wonderfully amusing to view.
This of course is all very easy for me to say having achieved our goal on Sunday afternoon, but when our minibus set off in the early hours the high spirits were very much graced with the kind of butterflies only our great sport can give you.
It is safe to say we had a great great day, a nice easy journey up with plenty of healthy banter and pre-match refreshment making it the perfect start. The result we all wanted, however, was paramount to making it completely perfect.
We started the game in the kind of manner we all wanted to see, looking up for it and filled with desire to win the game. Along with all the other aspects you can influence, however, you often need that little bit of luck.
That came in the opening stages when Yossi, showing the kind of persistence that has made him extremely well liked by us all, benefited from a goalkeeping error to put us in front. Cue the first jostle of an afternoon that tested the emotions!
Lady Luck then chose of course to even things up! TV has proved the first goal was wrongly allowed to stand and not only did we have to endure that but moments later our great start had been turned upside down. Two-one down, a total nightmare.
For me it was crucial to equalise before the break and Andre Santos made sure we did just that with his third crucial goal in the colours of the Arsenal. The jostle was passionate once more, if a little muted due to the nerves seriously kicking in!
My memories of the second period are not long and detailed, not for any other reason than the emotions we were all going through. I do remember Laurent crucially tapping home what turned out to be our winner after a goalkeeping error... but there was long long way to go.
As is always the case in these situations the clock seemed to almost come to a standstill and it was 'hearts in the mouth' time when Gibbo made a timely and quite outstanding block late in the game.
The whistle went and we simply danced with delight, sharing the moment with the players as they came over.
The legend that is Mr Pat Rice was also brought over in what was an emotional moment for all concerned. My own personal tribute to the great man will follow in my next ramblings but there is no doubt it topped off a great day to be a Gooner.
All the talk, all the banter, all the stick is now finally over boys and girls.
We saw the Gap, we closed the Gap and we created a Gap when it matters.
Get in!

You probably saw some rising happen in the straws containing Control dough. This is because flour is a starch. Starches contain glucose, a form of sugar (this is why a saltine cracker tastes a little sweet if you let it sit on your tongue for a while; the enzymes in your saliva break the cracker starch down into glucose and other simpler molecules). So even though you didn't add any sugar to the Control dough, it already contained some for the yeast to munch on. However, because the amount of sugar in this dough was much less than in the others, less carbon dioxide could be made by the yeast in this batch and the dough couldn't rise as much in comparison.

Best Practices
Sticks and Carrots -- Violations and Best Practices
The current retail-foodservice regulatory oversight is for the most part violation based. Therefore, most inspection efforts focus on communicating what the operator cannot do. There is no concerted effort to communicate what practices operators can do to make food safer. "Best practices" are "safe" practices that may even be economically advantageous.
Best practices are being sought from industry and currently being researched in the retail-foodservice kitchen-labs at Utah State University. The ultimate goal is to gather and scientifically validate best practices to make foods and food preparation safer at the retail and foodservice levels.

Gee, maybe I bought the wrong boat... I'm afraid to even look!
Boats with three bedrooms/cabins if you will, can be had in as small as 32-33' depending upon the brand. 35' is a shoe in for a 3 cabin in most brands. With two kids, and parents, a 2 cabin will work fine for OP's needs. Those of use with 3 or 4 in my case, a triple cabin is nicer. Altho with 3 oer 18.........not that big a deal!
Not sure if anyone mentioned the older C&C's. a reasonable fast and well built boat too.

Our boat has a nice interior layout, but with three kids at least one of them ends up bunking on one of the settees in the main salon, which relegates the adults to the cockpit after bedtime.

|thanks for all input, I will be looking around for catalina/Tartan(if I can afford one!), pearson
OP has twins.........hmmmmm........I'm sorry, it does get easier as they get older! Just remember twins are two time the work, and four times the fun. Even when 9 months old, both have the trots, and you go thru 500+ diapers that week!
There are MANY boats in the 28-32' range, that cn be had for $15-25K and will work well. Ericson, Islander, jeanneaus,Benateaus, Hunters, Catilinas, Cal, Pearson, J boat, san juan,........list can go on and on. It will depend on ho well they are kept up, "ran hard, put away wet!" ie raced, vs cruised/day sailed. I found an older 85 Jeanneau Arcadia, 30' long, original owner, well taken care of overall. I have done a bunch of up grading, but overall, a fairly roomy boat for being a small 30' boat. Along with being reasonably fast for her size. I ws not looking initially at Jenneau's, but saw one locally on the local yachtworld equal, looked at her, spouse fell in love, boat was ours a few weeks later.
So now I have a weekend project if you will, while she plays in the yard, and we both take afternoons to sail and race, my mostly with my 19 yr old daughter, and 21 yr old twin sons, along with tenuki upon occason. Still trying to get 15 yr old daughter out there. Enjoy your time with the kids, they do grow up fast!

I also want to echo the suggestion that if you can afford it, you will probably come out way ahead in the long run buying a boat vs timeshare. Time share really only works well for people with very limited time to sail and who do not want the responsibilities of maintenance and ownership. To this day, I truly value the time that I shared growing up with my family sailing on my family's boat, and time working beside my Dad maintaining the family boats. The days spent together on the boat forged a strong bond; a bond that held through my teenage years and has held to this day 46 years after we began sailing.
Good luck,
|A Catalina or Pearson 30 is a good boat for what you want to do. I wouldn't go with fractional ownership myself, since it really leaves you at the mercy of the other owners...who may or may not trash the boat when they use it. Also, on a fractionally owned boat, you can't leave things on the boat, so you're prep time to go sailing is a lot greater... instead of being able to hop on the boat and go out for an afternoon sail, you might have to spend an hour getting the boat ready to go, and then only get in an evening sail. Also, you might not be able to schedule the boat for the days you want, since the other owners may well want those days as well. Holiday weekends, like the Fourth of July would be particularly difficult. Owning your own boat, even if it is an older one, makes far more sense, especially since you also have to fit the kids schedules into the sailing.
|I have two kids 2yrs and 8 yrs, and the Catalina 30 has been great because it has a lot of space for a 30 and has been easy to sail. We went from a 25' to a 30' and have not regretted it. While it is not a high performance boat, I can singlehand with little difficulty and the family has a lot of fun on it.
|I had a Catalina 250 before upgrading to a Catalina 310. Catalina has pulled the line to concentrate on the 309. From what I've seen, the 309 is a good overall replacement for the Catalina 30 and 310 - something to consider. Decent price, good systems, and enough room above and below for four people to tolerate each other for a weekend.

There is a big Kiss fan somewhere out there.
According to media reports, a piece of gum chewed by band member Gene Simmons has sold for nearly $250,000. The gum, which was put up for auction on eBay (item condition: used), garnered 99 individual bids that quickly drove up the price.
The gum was reportedly chewed during an interview on Soccer AM, a British TV sports show. Simmons was in Jolly Ole London Town to sing the national anthem at an exhibition football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 29.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit Street League, a charity that uses sports programs to combat youth unemployment in the UK.

Create a Double-Rod for your Window Treatments
This idea was inspired when I was going to purchase double-rods for our drapes. I looked at Pottery Barn and was not about to pay $200 per window for hardware (I had 9 windows to cover!). Hardware for windows is not cheap. I was able to 'make' double-rods for about $35 per window and get the same function as the expensive rods.
I like having sheers on some of my windows. They add a nice amount of privacy and romance without blocking light. In fact, light that is filtered through sheers can give your room a beautiful glow. Below are a couple windows in my living room using two separate rods to create the same look as expensive double-rods.
You will need to purchase two size rods that are the same in finish: a larger one for the front rod and a smaller one for the back sheer rod. Install the larger rod first and then just on the inside of that bracket install the smaller rod's bracket. Easy peazy!Read More

Events are, and have been for quite some time, the fundamental elements of IT infrastructure real-time monitoring. Any status changed, threshold crossed in device usage, or step performed in a process generates an event that needs to be reported, analyzed, and acted upon by IT operations.
Historically, the lower layers of IT infrastructure (i.e., network components and hardware platforms) have been regarded as the most prone to hardware and software failures and have therefore been the object of all attention and of most management software investments. In reality, today's failures are much more likely to be coming from the application and the management of platform and application updates than from the hardware platforms. The increased infrastructure complexity has resulted in a multiplication of events reported on IT management consoles.
Over the years, several solutions have been developed to extract the truth from the clutter of event messages. Network management pioneered solutions such as rule engines and codebook. The idea was to determine, among a group of related events, the original straw that broke the camel's back. We then moved on to more sophisticated statistical and pattern analysis: Using historical data we could determine what was normal at any given time for a group of parameters. This not only reduces the number of events, it eliminates false alerts and provides a predictive analysis based on parameters' value evolution in time.
The next step, which has been used in industrial process control and in business activities and is now finding its way into IT management solutions, is complex event processing (CEP).

State College, Pa. - February, 20, 2010 - The Robert Morris University Colonials opened the 2010 season in similar fashion to last year with a win against Penn State. The Colonials exploded in the first period with 12 goals to the Nittany Lions four to lead them to a commanding 24-17 triumph. The win brings the Colonials' all-time series record against Penn State to 2-1.
Penn State outshot the Colonials 75 to 40, but strong netminding skills by Sal Barcia (West Islip, N.Y. / West Islip) and resilient play by the RMU defense helped RMU maintain its impressive first period lead. The victory starts RMU's season out with a 1-0 record, while Penn State starts off 0-1.
Six Colonials tallied multiple goals in the victory with sophomore Kiel Matisz (Stoney Creek, Ontario / Saltfleet) leading the way with a career-high five goals and one assist for six points. Juniors Keith Lee (Hudson, Ohio / Western Reserve Academy) and Patrick Smith (Westminster, Md. / Westminster) both finished the contest with four goals and Smith added a helper for a five-point performance. Lee's four goals was a new career high and junior Trevor Moore (Port Coquitlam, B.C. / Western Reserve Academy) added three goals in the victory. A total of nine players earned goals in the win and seven earned multiple points.
Barcia grabbed a new RMU single game record with 26 saves and added four ground balls in the win. Mike Grosz (St. Louis, Mo. / Parkway West) also added four ground balls and went 13-for-25 in the face-off circle.
Penn State opened up the first period with a goal by Colton Vosburgh 1:11 into play. Lee responded with a goal eight seconds later and the two squads traded scores once again to deadlock the game, 2-2, just 1:48 into the contest. Robert Morris earned its first lead of the game when Matisz scored back-to-back goals at the 2:32 and 4:08 marks.
Two more goals by Penn State and a score by RMU's Smith set the score at 5-4 in RMU's favor with 6:55 left to play. Just nine seconds later Robert Morris shocked the Nittany Lions by scoring seven unanswered goals in the remainder of the first period to give the Colonials a 12-4 lead heading into the second period. Six different Colonials contributed goals during the scoring spree with sophomore Kyle Buchanan (Nepean, Ontario / John McCrae) registering two of seven goals.
The second period was not as exciting as the first period, but Robert Morris continued to dominate play to start things off and goals by Moore, sophomore Kevin Brownell (Burlington, Ontario / Central) and Lee increased the gap of the score to 11 within the first five minutes of the second frame. The next 10 minutes slowed down a bit, but Penn State was finally able to end its scoring drought with 50 seconds left to play when Chris Hogan got the ball past Barcia to earn the Nittany Lions their fifth goal.
Penn State picked up their play in the third period and for the first time outscored the Colonials six-to-five in the period. Hogan started things up with a man-up goal 24 seconds into action off an assist from Billy Gribbin and followed that goal with another one at 3:01. However, Robert Morris responded 32 seconds later with their first extra-man goal of the contest by Smith off a helper by Brownell to set the score at 16-7.
Penn State captured the next three goals, but Robert Morris matched that with three goals of their own. Each team scored one more time upon entering the final session of play to bring the score to 19-11.
Despite Penn State picking up play in the final period, they could not sustain the Colonial attack. The Lions started off the period with two goals in the first minute, but Lee responded by cruising through the Lions defense to score an unassisted goal at 13:04. The Lions and Colonials continued to swap scores throughout the remainder of play with Matisz ending the contest with 57 seconds left on the clock to earn RMU the commanding 24-17 win.
Penn State captured 47 total ground balls in the win to RMU's 46 and went 25-for-45 from the face-off circle, while RMU won 20-of-45 face-offs. RMU went 3-for-5 on the extra-man advantage and Penn State earned two man-up goals out of six opportunities.
Robert Morris returns to action on Friday, February 26 when the Colonials take on Manhattan in Riverdale, N.Y. at 1:00 p.m.

Katherine Evans while in high school is suing the principal of Pines Charter High School in Miami for violating her freedom of speech rights because he suspended her for three days after Ms. Evans created a Facebook group based on one of her teachers. The group was named "Mrs. Sarah Phelps is the worse teacher I ever met" and attracted three students who joined in order to praise the teacher. The principal found out about the group and suspended Ms.Evans for cyber bullying and disruptive behavior. A lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union does not seek monetary damages but asks the school to remove the suspension from her record because that action "stained(Evan's) academic record and violated her First Amendment rights."
The case raises many questions as to whether freedom of speech is allowed when an individual establishes a web site for the sole purpose of damaging the reputation of another. This blog is committed to the principle of free speech, but the Evans situation is somewhat different because it was more than free speech. It also entailed a deliberate effort to drive an individual from her job and create tension and disruption in the classroom. What if ten or fifteen of the teacher's students went to the Facebook site and expressed insults and derogatory statement about Ms. Phelps which resulted in the loss of a job. Does Ms. Phelps also have constitutional rights?

16 January 2013 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau
PharmaEngine signs research and collaboration deal with Guangzhou BeBetter Medicine Technology
BeBetter will be responsible for discovering optimized compounds for IND-enabling studies
Singapore: Taipei-based biopharmaceutical company PharmaEngine has signed a collaboration and research agreement with Guangzhou BeBetter Medicine Technology. The two companies will collaborate to design, synthesize and develop new chemical entities (drug candidates) against predefined targets in oncology. This collaboration opens a new chapter for partnership between Taiwan and China in searching for novel anti-cancer drugs.
Guangzhou BeBetter Medicine is a new drug discovery and development company incorporated in the Science Park, Guangzhou, China, in January 2012. Under the terms of the agreement, PharmaEngine will hold the exclusive worldwide rights of manufacturing, development and commercialization of new drug candidates with the exception of China, while BeBetter will keep the respective rights in China (including Hong Kong and Macau).
BeBetter is responsible for discovering optimized compounds for IND-enabling studies. PharmaEngine will be responsible for development and commercialization. Dr Changgeng Qian, founder of BeBetter, served as senior vice president, discovery research and preclinical development at Curis, based in the US.
Dr Qian has an excellent track record of discovering novel compounds against cancer. For example, Dr Qian played a key role in the collaboration between Curis and Genentech to successfully develop Erivedge (vismodegib), which is the first approved cancer drug target the hedgehog protein in the world. Erivedge has received the regulatory approval from the US FDA in January 2012 for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma.
Another example is a novel Hsp90 inhibitor, CUDC-305 (Debio 0932) which was licensed to the Debiopharm Group, currently in phase I/II clinical trials. Other drug development candidates are in various stages of development.
"Dr Qian and I were colleagues in several biopharmaceutical companies in the US, including Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. We have established mutual respect and trust throughout many years." said Dr C Grace Yeh, president and chief executive officer, PharmaEngine. "I am very pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Qian again. I believe that our collaboration can create a win-win combination of BeBetter's drug discovery know-how and PharmaEngine's drug development expertise."

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
That's a great idea. I remember reading on here about people drilling holes in their covers but I like the pantyhose method. Thank you.
Knew I joined up for a reason :D
If you do find another cover that you can mutilate to get that sound do this: Purchase a drop in lifetime air filter like a K&N. Then purchase some nylon pantyhose, and stretch it over the holes. Don't pull it so tight that you can see through the holes in the pantyhose, but make sure it form fits the cover. This is an old dirt bike racing trick. Loose nylon pantyhose sheds off water (and mud), but has no effect on air flow.
If you ever install an oil infused filter like a K&N, then you must also purchase some MAF cleaner, and remove and clean the MAF weekly for approximately a month after installing the filter. This is because the oil on the filter contaminates the MAF and reduces fuel economy.
Thanks so much! And yeah, I had no credit whatsoever when my old Impala died and needed its third head gasket, so my mom (who has no faith in cars at all) put her foot down on everything but a lease for me.
But thank you for the response, that's really, really good to hear.
Yes, that could be the problem. That car is equipped with an electronic throttle body. That means that instead of a cable connecting your foot with the engine throttle- there is a just an electrical wire. There's a potential of water getting in there and causing issues with the wiring- then causing the engine to be unresponsive like you described. It could also be a bad TB itself, but you'd be hard pressed to get a dealer to replace that part if it's not completely bad. They might check it out for you, and you can ask them to put some dielectric grease on the connections just in case.
The most likely problem is that it was just a hiccup in the vehicle programming. If you experience it again, then I'd say it's the TB going out on you. Don't worry, that should be covered under warranty.
Secondly, read your lease agreement carefully. You are responsible for damage to the vehicle as far as chips in the paint, and so forth. You're also responsible for any mileage that goes over the agreement. The way it works is that you sign an agreement to pay on the car for 3 years (or whatever it is), and there is a certain limit to the mileage you put on the car in those 3 years. Typically it's 15k per year, but it depends on the agreement. Then you have to turn the car back in, it's checked out, and you're given a fee to pay for any damage to the vehicle. Nobody ever turns a car back in from a lease without being charged for something. It's really a plan for people who have lots of disposable income, and would prefer to change out cars often. It's also a good plan for companies because the lease expense is a tax write-off. Good luck, but I hope you don't learn a hard lesson about lease agreements like my dad did.
Put the air cover lid back on, and yes, moisture in the air cleaner element might cause that too. LOL Don't damage that cover, or if you want to- get another one, then drill holes in it.
Unresponsive Engine
Hi all, I've been lurking the forums for a while now but finally just signed up
I leased a 2012 Focus SE because that was my only financial option but plan on buying it. However, I was driving to work this morning and about halfway down the parkway I noticed my speed drop from 80 to 70. Pressing the gas pedal didn't do anything. I was panicking so I can't remember if the rpm's were going up or down but I do remember that the engine was definitely not responsive. No noise, nothing. It was like I wasn't pressing the pedal at all.
I pulled over, turned it off, checked under the hood for anything funny (I'm a seventeen year old girl with her first car so I probably wouldn't have noticed anything), and started it back up and it ran fine.
A friend of mine who is a mechanic says that I probably just hit a puddle and got something in the engine wet. I'm worried because about a week ago I took off the cover of the air filter just to give my car some nice sound when I rev. Could that be the problem? Should I put the lid back on? I made a service appointment but if it's something as silly as that I'll just cancel it and keep the lid.

text: I have had a pomegranate tree in my backyard for many years. I have enjoyed the fruit for many years and often gave away some to family, friends and coworkers. Recently, a couple of my friends told me that they have never eaten a pomegranate, and they did not know how to eat it. So I gave them a 'sample' - one or two pomegranates- and told them how I eat it. Then the question came up- do you eat the seeds too? I have never eaten the seeds; I squeeze out the juice in my mouth and throw away the seeds. Am I missing something? Someone posted on my facebook that the seeds are not only edible but they are sweet and tart. Anyone has experience with this? Because of its hard skin, I normally cut the fruit into small pieces (about 1 to 1.5 inch), and then eat those, without the skin, and throw away the seeds after taking the juice out. More recently I started collecting all the pink/red inside of the fruit in a large plastic container. I refrigerate it and take out portions in smaller containers to take to work. I can eat them with a spoon without dirtying my hands. I like this way to enjoy the fruit better. Actually I can't stop eating it. In the past, I have also squeezed out juice in a juicer, when I had such large quantities (and right now I do) that there was no way I could finish it. The juice is delicious and I am considering buying an inexpensive juicer. Any recommendations on how to enjoy this delicious and healthy fruit?

Yesterday we heard the sad news of the death of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, an enthusiastic supporter of Museum Victoria who always took a keen interest in the Melbourne Museum, the Immigration Museum and Scienceworks. As recently as September this year I received a letter on her behalf thanking me for sending her the Museum's magazine, Six Months, and commenting on the wide range of activities and projects described in it.

I first met Dame Elisabeth shortly after I took up my post as CEO of Museum Victoria in 2002. Harold Mitchell, then President of the Museums Board of Victoria, had written to inform her of my appointment. She asked to see me and we met in my office. It was immediately apparent that I was in the presence of a formidable but charming woman, who immediately put me at ease by saying how much she wanted to meet "another Greene". She revealed that her maiden name was Greene, and told me about her grandfather who had arrived from Ireland to work as an engineer for Victorian Railways. One of his many projects was the construction of the viaduct that carries the lines into Flinders Street Station. She gleefully told me that The Age had at the time described it as 'Greene's Folly' and her pride that more than a century later it was still performing its task so well – some 'folly!'
A notable occasion was the celebration of the museum's 150th anniversary in 2004 which took place in the Royal Exhibition Building with Dame Elisabeth as the guest of honour. Harold Mitchell discovered that her birthday was just a few days away and spontaneously asked the army trumpeter to play Happy Birthday, which all the guests joined in singing.

Dame Elisabeth was renowned for her warmth, her ability to remember names and of course her philanthropy. I spoke at a Philanthropy Australia event held in her honour about her contribution to Museum Victoria's activities and was amazed at the range of other causes that she supported. She was a very special person who made a considerable contribution to Victoria.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Converting Mathematics slides into PDF
I read some of the posts on this topic, but I don't think they address the
problem I am having.
Is there a way to generate PDF file of Mathematica slides such that what
shows on the screen occupies one page or less in the PDF file. For example,
I have graphs which do not even fill the screen completely, but do not fit
in the page when I make the PDF file (that is, only a part shows up on the
page and other part is cut out). Similarly, some of the text that fits in
half the screen fills up multiple pages in the PDF file.
Thank you.


text: Just finished reading the Mlive article on this guy. It's a good read. Should the Pistons take a chance on him at number 7 or #6? Word is out comparing his frame to Amare. Bismack is 6' 9", 242lbs with a 7 foot vertical. Not bad for a 19 year old and the first kid in the history of the Nike Camp to get a triple double. The only fear I have is the flashback of another can't miss prodigy, the one and only DM. However, if he develops into an all star and landing on another team besides the pistons, I would be pissed. So what do you do, hmmmmmm. Just the thought of guy like this playing next to Monroe is tantalizing, especially with his shot blocking and rebounding ability and he loves to live in the paint. Haven't had that around the D for awhile huh.

Provo • All-American linebacker Manti Te'o isn't the only Notre Dame football player with strong ties to the state of Utah.
The Irish's roster also includes Provo's Chris Badger, a safety from Timpview High who is redshirting this year after returning last summer from an LDS Church mission to Ecuador. Badger is the first returned Mormon missionary to ever play for Notre Dame and just the second or third Utahn (records aren't clear).
"I love it here," Badger said Wednesday as Notre Dame continued preparations to host BYU. "I feel really great about the place I am at."
Although he won't play unless it is in an emergency situation, Badger said a lot of his family members are making the trip from Provo and all around the country for the 1:30 p.m. game at Notre Dame Stadium, including his father, Rodney Badger, a University of Utah School of Medicine professor and doctor.
"I definitely love the tradition and legacy of Notre Dame," Chris Badger said Wednesday, recounting why he accepted a scholarship offer from the Irish and turned down BYU, Utah, Stanford, Oregon, LSU and Florida State, among others. "There's a special feeling when you are here."
Badger, who committed to Notre Dame when Charlie Weiss was the coach, is also excited to see a few of his former Timpview teammates, including BYU defensive end Bronson Kaufusi and safety Craig Bills.
He graduated early from Timpview and enrolled at Notre Dame in January 2010 so he could participate in spring ball (he had eight tackles in the spring game) before leaving on his mission that summer.
While in Ecuador, Badger was robbed at gunpoint during one of his preparation days, and the thief made off with his Notre Dame running shoes and other ND apparel. He had to walk home in his socks.
Now he's back as a second-semester freshman, thinking about majoring in anthropology and hoping to attend medical school.
"I was in a win-win situation," Badger said of his choice to attend Notre Dame. "I had a lot of great options, like BYU and Utah and that. Wherever I chose to go, I was going to be happy."
His prospects of making the two-deep chart next year, maybe even starting, are good because two of the four current two-deep safeties, Zeke Motta and Chris Salvi, are graduating.
Overconfident Cougars?
Recapping the defense's poor performance against Oregon State, BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall made a rare acknowledgement Monday that the players might have been reading too many of their press clippings.
"Concentration, precision and really, execution [were lacking]," he said. "And maybe a little overconfidence defensively, from all the accolades. I think there was a little edge that was missing."
Irish QB Golson cleared
Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson was cleared to play Wednesday after completing protocol for a concussion suffered last Saturday against Stanford. Golson, a redshirt freshman, will likely start against the Cougars, although backup Tommy Rees still might see action. Rees has played in each of the Irish's last five games.
No weaknesses
BYU offensive coordinator Brandon Doman said three days of watching film has shown him that Notre Dame's defense, which has not allowed an offensive touchdown in a month, does not have a weakness.
"I don't think we overmatch them at any position," Doman said. "I don't know that we have any particular mismatch. ... We have found some things that we think will help us against what they do defensively, and hopefully we have hit it on the head and we will be able to have some success with the things we have chosen to do."

Today we published a new Forrester Wave: Social Risk & Compliance (SRC) Solutions, Q2 2014. This report evaluates 10 vendors emerging to help organizations enable companywide use of social media while providing the necessary controls and oversight to mitigate associated risks and enforce compliance.
Why now
Use of social media today is rampant.
It's no longer just your marketing team that uses social media for business purposes. Employees across the entire organization use social media for personal and professional reasons, leveraging social to drive real business for your company. The opportunities to enhance your brand, deepen customer relationships, and glean new customer insights are all too valuable to ignore -- but the risks are real too.
Moreover, the legal and regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly, complicating the ways in which you can manage social media and the myriad reputational, security, and privacy risks (among others) that expose your organization. To take advantage of these opportunities and still protect your company, you need new tools and technology to do this effectively.

Tinkering with range toys is one thing, but I am of the opinion that defense guns should generally be left as close to stock as possible. As Cooper said, "Sights you can see, a trigger you can use, and a dehorning job."
So endeth the unrequested sermon.

Things to know for the holiday, from region to region
Staff and Correspondents report | May 25. 2013 9:39PM
Canobie Lake Park in Salem, which is open today and Monday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., is observing Armed Forces Appreciation Days during the holiday weekend. Members of the military will be admitted for $10. (Regular adult admission is $35).
"Rain or shine, New Hampshire is opening up for the summer this weekend," said Tai Freligh, spokesman for the state Division of Travel and Tourism Development.
The Amoskeag Millyard is home to The Millyard Museum, 200 Bedford St., which tracks the history of what is now Manchester, going back 11,000 years. It currently features a special exhibit on the War of 1812. The Currier Museum of Art, 150 Ash St., displays paintings by famous artists, including Picasso. A new exhibit, "Poster Mania! Leisure, Romance and Adventure in 1890s America," debuts this weekend.
There are 55 award-winning restaurants located in Manchester. Barnes and Noble, 1741 S. Willow St., is the biggest book store in the city. It is open today from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Monday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
There are four cab companies in Concord with drivers available 24 hours a day. Other public transportation includes buses operated by Concord Area Transit with stops along Loudon Road, N. Main St., and Route 3. Adult fares cost $1.25, while seniors ride for 50 cents. Children younger than 5 ride free. The buses will not run on Monday.
There are two movie theaters in Concord: Red River Theatres, 11 S. Main St., and Regal Cinemas, 282 Loudon Road. The earliest movies are shown at 11:15 a.m., and the latest begins at 10:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from $8 for matinees before 5 p.m. to $13.50 for evening 3D presentations.
The Concord Chamber of Commerce website lists 42 restaurants; 27 are categorized as casual dining establishments.
There are several gallery clothing stores on North Main Street, and the Granite State Candy Shoppe, 13 Warren St., is widely known for its ice cream as well as its chocolates.
Military service members and veterans can play golf for free Monday at Beaver Meadow Golf Course, 1 Beaver Meadow Road, and all other golfers can play for $25 if they wear red, white and blue.
Closer to the Massachusetts border, travelers in Pelham are urged to exercise caution, with the New Hampshire Department of Highway Safety sponsoring random seatbelt compliance and safety checkpoints over the long weekend. Police Chief Joseph Roark said Pelham police typically deploy extra patrol units during peak hours on holiday weekends.
Canobie Lake Park in Salem is open today and Monday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Throughout the holiday weekend, the park is observing Armed Forces Appreciation Days, with members of the military admitted for $10. (Regular adult admission is $35).
If rain spoils outdoor activities, The Pinball Wizard, 150 Bridge St., Pelham, features hundreds of vintage pinball machines, video games and skeeball. It is open today from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Monday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
People looking for some culture can visit the Derry Opera House today for a concert titled, "Something Wonderful I Missed: The Musicals of 1973."
The Budweiser Clydesdales are a popular draw at 221 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack.
A tradition in downtown Meredith continues with the 22nd annual Memorial Weekend Craft Festival at the Mill Falls Marketplace today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The state Marine Patrol is asking boaters who do go on the lakes to be cautious in case of low visibility today. Boaters are asked to obey all speed limits and safety rules.
Travelers will find gas prices a little cheaper than they were last summer. Thurston's will be selling gas at just under $4 a gallon, Thurston said; by comparison, the price at the end of August 2012 was about $4.20 a gallon, he said.
Police said they are not planning any extra patrols.

NOTE: The Central Library parking lot will be closed Friday, June 23 through Sunday, June 25 for repairs. We appreciate your patience.
Log in
I recently read that Keith Richards has confessed to a secret longing to be a librarian. Yes, THAT Keith Richards, he of the Rolling Stones, the greatest rock and roll band of all times in the opinion of many! Isn't that an interesting visual??
He has said he has been "quietly nurturing his inner bookworm" and considered some type of training (that would be librarianship!) to manage the 1000's of books at his various homes. He says he started to arrange his books in categories but gave up, instead opting to keep his favorites close at hand. He also loans books to friends with little hope of getting them back and leaves books by the bedside for guests in his homes.
Richards' autobiography, Life, will be released in the fall. According to advance publicity, he will reveal how he found comfort in books before he discovered music.
I expect we'll be ordering his book for our collection; how could we not when he writes that the public library is one of two institutions that affect one most powerfully! By the way, the other is the church, he says.

Finally got the first piece of my Fett costume sorted, the vest and chest armor. For my first set of armor I think it looks awesome, what you can't see from the pics is that the armor also has a working chest display too.
The metal blocks on the backplate are the pieces to hold the collar and back armor together properly as in the actual prop, I just need to trim the back armor and then screw it all together.
Anyway here are a couple of pics:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Our class is pretty small too, just 4 puppies altogether. Kylie has more energy than all the others put together. She was the wild child for the first class, but she is the best-behaved in class now. I think it helps that I take her for a 2-mile walk before class. I only took for a 1/2-mile walk before the first class and that just didn't get enough energy out of her. We have two more classes left. We'll probably do another set up classes at the start of next year.
Yeah for Ollie!!! Great for you too! You must be feeling better now! I'm sure it feels great to be out of the house!
As for the child hugging him ... I'm not sure! I don't have kids. I do have a nephew, and he LOVED Kyleigh when she was young, but then she grew LOL And he was like: um, Marion, why didn't she stay small? She was so cute when she was small! (You've seen pics, she's NOT a huge GSD!)
Kyleigh had no problems with my nephew hugging her when she was young, but as she grew up, she simply didn't have the patience for it and would walk away when he came towards her. I never forced it. I told him she's a "big girl" now, and doesn't like to be played with ...
|Yay Ollie! Great to hear it went well.
|Bear GSD
|Tired puppies are the best puppies! I'm glad Ollie did awesome in his class
First day of puppy class!
Went great! There's only two other puppies in the class so we end up getting a lot of one on one, good deal for a group class price.
We worked on him being touched all over(which Ollie doesn't really care about but good to reinforce). The trainer used him as an example and put her arms around his belly then lifted him into the air a little bit and he went totally limp in her arms
We also did some clicker work which he was good at because I already started it at home. We did object exposure, a big cart, a robot dog and he went through the big agility tunnel a few times and he also got into the kiddie pool all on his own.
He also met a bunch of other dogs not including the puppies from class(we do the puppy class at the humane society, it's awesome)... He met a giant Akita mix, a few adult pit bulls and a two month old super timid female pit bull... Ollie was great with her and eventually she came out of her shell a little bit and they played! Not gonna lie, if we had room for another dog I would have adopted her on the spot, she was such a sweetheart.
He also met a bunch of new people including a little girl maybe 5 years old. Question about that actually, she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. Ollie did not care one bit and just licked her but should I not let kids do that?
After we got home we took him and the golden for a walk in a nearby eucalyptus tree forest(they are everywhere here, I think we could support a population of Koalas!).
All in all great day and best part was Ollie totally konked out at the end of it.

The easiest way to get a bill passed dealing with the rights of people is to shout the ever popular "it's a security issue." The Swedish government has been under pressure from the military for increased power to examine phone and email communications from Swedish citizens that are being sent across borders. The Swedish parliament responded by passing a new surveillance law by a vote of 143 to 138 which empowers the National Defense Radio Establishment(FRA), which is a private organization despite its name, to monitor emails and phone communications which go across the national border. The FRA, unlike the police, do not need a court order in order to initiate surveillance of people.
The FRA insists it will only examine emails which go across the Swedish border, but they will have to first read all emails in order to determine which are crossing the border. This is simply another step in fear and confusion stemming from 9/11. The enemy is not all knowing, but terrorists certainly know enough these days not to disclose important data in an email going across a border.

I have been reading several articles in Businessweek questioning the readiness of Vista and Office 2007 (http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2006/tc20061129_739121.htm ) and some of the design quirks - how many geeks does it take to shut off a computer (http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/dec2006/tc20061201_625122.htm?chan=technology_technology+index+page_software ).
Then I came across this article (http://www.cbronline.com/article_news.asp?guid=61A19824-89F8-4649-82F7-3062481BA64B ) about BECTA (the UK government agency responsible for technology used in education) warning against deploying Vista and Office 2007, "noting that for Vista especially 'the risks are high, and the benefits are far from clear."
And while we have blogged about the "cost" of upgrading to Vista, today I came across this IDC study: "for every dollar spent on Vista a partner will earn $18 from hardware upgrades, other software additions and services." (http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/en/home/News.asp?id=41800&cid=10 )
But then many governments appear to have figured this out already through interoperability frameworks and adoption of ODF (Open Document Format) and Linux - the most recent being State of Tamil Nadu in India (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/archive/index.php?t-368794.html ) and Province of Misiones in Argentina (http://www.misiones.gov.ar/egov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=132&Itemid=9 ).
Here is a summary of the government adoption of ODF:
a. Seven National governments:
- Brazil, France, Germany have released Interoperability Frameworks calling out ODF
- Belgium, Croatia, and Norway recognize ODF/open standards in Fedral Government ICT guidance or policy papers
- Denmark made a parlimentary decision on the need for open standards in digital exchanges
b. Two country national standard bodies
- Italy approved ODF as a National Standard
- Malaysia is in the process to do likewise
c. Four RegionalGovernments:
- Extremadura, Spain has agreed to use ODF for document exchange
- Hong Kong, China recognizes ODF in its interoperability framework
- Tamil Nadu, India
- Province of Misiones, Argentina
d. Four governments have sponsored ODF focused events:
- India, Malaysia, Poland, Thailand
e. EU's DG Enterprise/IDABC published its recommendations on ODF ( http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/servlets/Doc?id=26844 )
In addition to policy decisions, nearly 50 federal agencies and state/local bodies across the globe are using office applications that support ODF. Seehttp://opendocumentfellowship.org/government/precedent
Many governments have proceeded further, with adoption of Linux as the operating system of choice.
Let us take India for example: The state of Kerala moved 12500 schools to Linux few months back. The State of Tamil Nadu home to a population the size of the UK, is in the process of deploying 32,600 Linux desktop systems and training 30,000 government officials (http://mandriva.blogspot.com/2007/01/tamil-nadu-india-may-shut-door-on.html ). The governments of seven states, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal were running their treasury applications on Linux. The Provident Fund application of Bihar, the Secretariat in Mizoram, the Stamp Duty application in Andhra Pradesh, the Land Record application of Maharashtra, the RTOs of all the North Eastern states; Linux found several takers in many states across the country. The Central Government was not lagging behind-the innovative ePost project of the Post & Telegraph department, the IndiaGov portal and various other applications of the Election Commission, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Labor and Ministry of External Affairs were also running open source software. (http://www.dqindia.com/content/DQTop20_2006/employers06/2006/106090601.asp ).
Meanwhile, in Europe, the city of Amsterdam (in collaboration with 7 other cities) will conduct tests of open source software on desktops in two departments in the first half of 2007 (http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39285307,00.htm ). Austria's capital city Vienna is in the midst of linux desktop rollout.
I already blogged on State of Indiana in the US (http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/showstory.cfm?ArticleID=5819 ).
And IBM is offering flexibility and choice to customers: Run Notes, Sametime, Expeditor, ODF compliant productivity editors on Windows, Linux, Mac, from a memory stick, DVD, etc.[Read More]

In a racist, sexist society can our sexual attractions ever be value neutral? Is it REALLY just a "preference" when white people aren't attracted to people of other races?
My conclusion? No, not really.
Knowing what I know now about society, social indoctrination, whiteness, etc. I can no longer think it's a coincidence that white men tend to be the ones I find most sexually attractive.
This post made me consider my own pattern of attraction (which is not particularly static), specifically my fondness of Southern accents. It's something that I've recently but intensely developed, and it poses an odd contradiction: it's not exactly race-based, but it is a response to my identification with the patriarchy and my need to fit in to the (shallow) South, where I recently came to live.
In focusing part of my attraction on speech patterns, I'm regurgitating the dominant paradigm of my current surroundings: men around me and the man I'm with speak this way. Southern accents are reinforced as positive and desirable, a mark of masculinity and honesty:
And I can't any longer ignore that these traits also, though not tied to skin color (what most commonly think of as THE racial indicator) are most certainly tied to dominant narratives about "real men" and that those narratives are strongly informed by whiteness.
However, it's not as simple as this problematic identification. A Southern accent is a disempowering feature: it causes the speaker to be seen as uneducated, unintelligent, and dull-witted. One study found that a Southern accent increased a job applicant's chances of being passed over or paid less. A few years ago, I held this view - it was one thing that I didn't particularly like about my partner (whose Southern accent is very strong) upon getting to know him. This was not a reflection of J, but a reflection of my more recent life in the Midwest: as I am now conditioned by the patriarchy to appreciate Southern accents, I was then conditioned to reject them.
(There's also the question of the blue-collar exotic, but I won't get into that here.)
It's kind of a moot point. Since I'm happy in my relationship with an accented man, I'm not going to try to make any shifts. But I'll certainly be a little more critical the next time I'm watching Lost and become entranced by Sawyer.


text: So what are the dog care essentials? If your dog sleeps outdoors, as many do, youll want to make sure he or she has a proper dog house. Todays dog houses available at Sams Club are attractive, roomy and may even come with heated floors and fans. If your dog stays indoors, you may need a crate or a gate system to restrict the dog to areas where he cannot do damage to your home or him or herself. Then of course there are vital dog care items like dog food, dog training supplies and dog toys, all of which can be found at great prices through Sams Club. There are a lot more dog care items you can find through Sams Club as well, like collars, leashes, health care supplements and ramps. With the great quality and great prices on dog care items through Sams Club, youll probably find that you dont need to shop anywhere else to meet all your dogs needs. Also, at Sams Club prices, you should be able to stay well within your budget, even if you find yourself purchasing a few extra dog care items that you may not have even realized you needed.

Sophomore Alex Godzak has been named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week as well as the Corvais ECAC Division I Metro-Upstate Pitcher of the Week. Godzak wins the awards for the first time in his career.
Godzak threw his first career shutout in a 10-0 victory over Manhattan in the middle game of the three-game sweep of the Jaspers. The 5-foot-10 lefty yielded three hits and struck out four to improve to 4-2 on the season. The 2013 Freshman All-American allowed only three batters to reach scoring position in the game and retired 16 of the final 19 batters he faced.
The Syracuse, N.Y. native earned MAAC Rookie of the Week honors three times as a freshman in 2013 en route to being named the MAAC Rookie of the Year.
Godzak ranks fifth in the MAAC in ERA (3.03) and second in wins (four).
Godzak gives Canisius its sixth weekly award from the conference office this season. Junior Rohn Pierce is a two-time MAAC Pitcher of the Week while senior Jimmy Luppens has been named the MAAC Player of the Week twice. Junior Connor Panas earned MAAC Player of the Week honors last week.
Canisius (18-7, 6-0 MAAC), riding an eight-game winning streak, faces the University of Akron at Canal Park on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is set for 3 p.m.
