Helpful shop owner
I went to a local shop today and heres what happened
Should I slip the guy some cash if he seems to be very helpful?
I'm not good with stuff like this, he was the shop owner and I'm sure he makes more money than I do but I really appreciate good help. What should I do?
not necessarily cash, but maybe buy him lunch or some of his favorite "BREW" or even a thank you card, I know that this them happy when they are thanked...........joe
I agree with Toomany...., not cash but some other token, a 6 pack of beer, or a bottle of wine or something, even a really happy "Thank You - you have restored my faith in shop owners" will go a long way. A guy here always helps me out with odd things I need for my old Fords, and he is always around when I need advice, anyway I saw a book on how to build up horsepower on Ford engines and I bought it for him, he was so astonished that he just stood there, looking at the book as we left, when I went back a week or so later I saw that the book had been well read. Of course now I will probably have to borrow it or get myself the book
Keep in mind that auto repair business owners are used to being mistrusted and looked down on. Any action that you take, need not cost much. The idea is to let him know that you really appreciate what he did. What he did, in reality, is not that rare, atleast not in this area. What is really rare, is that someone has noticed that it wasn't "owed" to them. Many people look at it as if, "well they are only trying to make up for overcharging people". I have heard that so many times. There are really alot of business owners(usually mom and pop places) that will help people out in those types of situations. Pass the word around to people that you know that he is a good one to do business with if they need the services that he provides. Don't be bashfull about that.
I went back today and gave him $70 to order my part, didn't ask for a reciept or anything. Didn't feel I needed to. I do try to tell the guy how well he's helping me and that I really appreciate everything, like I said I'm not good at that but it is rare around here to find someone like this. He's a younger guy not more than 8 years older than me, and he's the main owner.
I'm going to do something as suggested, I see a lot of letters on the wall from other customers.
I'll look around tomorrow when i pick up my part, I might get some sort of automotive memorabilia that he can put in the office.

Re: Is there a Lincoln in your future?
If the day comes when GM starts using alpha and the same wheel base for a Cruze, Verano, Lacrosse, Regal will be the day when I have zero incentive to purchase a Cadillac.
Just as I would more inclined to purchase a Fusion Titanium instead of a MKZ

Re: Is there a Lincoln in your future?
No other Lincoln in my future. We have a fantastic Mark II in the family. Unless they decide to top that, count me out.

I was a big fan of the Continental, I had a 1983 Conti Mark VI and replaced it with a 1998 Continental, I loved them for luxury and size but they had too many problems with them, required far more costly repairs than I've had to deal with on any of my Cadillacs. I am of the "younger generation" that these luxury marques are seeking to impress, but unlike most of us, I love these cars for their style and SIZE above great fuel economy or sporty engines/suspensions etc. I wish Lincoln had gone through with their Continental concept of the early 2000s and I wish they had tried to spruce up the town car, like I wish Cadillac would give us a Fleetwood again, or at least not try to tell us the XTS is a full size car...I'm a tall and *large* individual and I find it acceptable to sacrifice 25+mpg for a real nice roomy vehicle that has sufficient power and an elegant presence on the road. I love my 08 DTS but would love to see them make something as large or larger, with a hood you can see from the drivers seat! In general I find Ford products to be less reliable than GM products, and the Lincoln lineup stopped impressing me a good 10 or more years ago. I will always love Cadillacs, I just hope I can keep finding decent used ones in the size and configuration I need, though nothing is going to make me go back to Lincoln, short of being able to pick up another early 80s Mark VI to toy around with on sunny days, I did love that car even if it was finicky and rather underpowered for its size, but I'll probably stick to expanding my Fleetwood Seventy Five collection and driving my DTS as a daily driver

"I am not young enough to know everything." -- Oscar Wilde
Rite Aid on the Rite Track?
Is the ship being righted at drugstore operator Rite Aid Corp. (NYSE: RAD)? The company came under heavy fire three months ago after reporting disappointing fiscal Q4 earnings that underperformed even the company's own earnings warning issued earlier that month.
Last night, Rite Aid turned in Q1 earnings that did a tango of sorts -- a step forward, a step back. Same-store sales improved 10% overall for the quarter, while revenues were up 19.5%. Earnings per share, at $0.31, were a penny better than the year-ago mark and a penny below IBES' 14-analyst consensus estimate.
One piece of data to watch is that prescription revenue -- notably, lower-margin third-party prescription revenue -- grew as a percentage of sales for the quarter. With third-party sales, accounting for 87.1% of total pharmacy sales, up from 84.6% last year and prescription sales as a whole increasing to 58.2% of drugstore revenues from 53.5%, it appears that front-end non-drug sales growth is slowing.
Following the earnings news, Standard & Poor's lowered Rite Aid Corp.'s long-term corporate credit, senior unsecured, and bank loan ratings to "triple-B" from "triple-B-plus" and its subordinated debt rating for the company to "triple-B-minus" from "triple-B."
S&P said the downgrades are due to diminished debt service coverage numbers driven by weak operating results, as well as the company's increased financial leverage due to the debt-funded acquisition of PCS Health Systems Inc. S&P expects a few more quarters to pass before Rite Aid works through its development issues.
By then, the company will likely be without one of its most-familiar executive names. Company veteran and CFO Frank Bergonzi, who spent 29 years with Rite Aid, said he intends to retire in the fall.
News to Go
Diversified energy company Avista Corp. (NYSE: AVA) said it expects Q2 EPS to come in below the market's current $0.33 consensus estimate. Chairman and CEO T.M. Matthews, who said first-half results have been hurt by weak national energy prices and unfavorable weather in the Northwest, said he expects positive results for the balance of 1999.
Aircraft maker Boeing (NYSE: BA) expects orders from Asian airlines to hit a low point in 2000 before taking off, according to reports. Boeing Japan President Rick Martin said at a Tokyo press conference that sales, hurt by delayed or canceled orders, are unlikely to rebound in the short term. That should begin to change in 2001 as air travel booms in the Asia-Pacific region.
Vitamins and nutritional supplements maker Rexall Sundown (Nasdaq: RXSD) believes fiscal Q4 revenues will fall from Q3 levels because sales of Cellasene, a natural "cellulite buster," will be hurt by "the significant pipeline distribution which occurred in the third quarter." Q3 EPS was $0.28, up from $0.26 last year but $0.04 short of IBES' four-analyst prediction, as sales increased 13% to $171.2 million.

Return Preparation and Electronic Filing - Abusive Return Preparer
The advent of electronic filing of income tax returns and the availability of Refund Anticipation Loans (RAL) has provided additional means for abusive preparers to commit fraud.
Criminal Investigation, since 1977, has been screening suspected fraudulent returns. This is done by the Criminal Investigation Fraud Detection Centers (FDC) at each of the ten IRS campuses where tax returns are filed. The purpose of the FDC is to detect refund fraud and return preparer schemes and refer them to the Criminal Investigation field offices for further investigation.

"Warmouth Bass"
Lisa Ruggiero(see more by this artist)
Wooden hand carved Warmouth Bass #1 that is part of the Living Waters Series from DryRiver Carvings. Created without patterns so each fish is unique. Hand scaled before painting each scale in watercolors. This allows the natural beauty of the wood/knots to show. The fish has been sealed in 8 coats of a high grade, high gloss marine varnish (2 coats on back) which will protect the colors/wood of the fish regardless of were Warmouth is displayed. Warmouth Bass #1 measures 17 inches in length, is 10 inches in height and is 2.5 inches in depth. The Warmouth has a glass bass eye for a more realistic look. There are eye hooks and wire located on the back for easy hanging. Comes signed, dated, numbered along with its name by wood burning on the backside of the fish. Included is a certificate of authenticity that this is an original work of art and part of the Living Waters Series.

text: BRIDGEWATER, N.J. and DUBLIN, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVNT) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Savient Pharma Ireland Ltd., today announced that the European Commission has granted a marketing authorization for KRYSTEXXA ® (pegloticase) for the treatment of severe debilitating chronic tophaceous gout in adult patients who may also have erosive joint involvement and who have failed to normalize serum uric acid with xanthine oxidase inhibitors at the maximum medically appropriate dose or for whom these medicines are contraindicated. "There is currently no other treatment option in the EU for patients with severe chronic tophaceous gout who do not respond to oral xanthine oxidase inhibitors," said Dr. Thomas Bardin, MD, Professor and Head of the Rheumatology department at the Lariboisière Hospital in Paris, France. "KRYSTEXXA addresses a significant unmet medical need and represents an important development for healthcare professionals and European patients suffering from this debilitating disease." "European approval of KRYSTEXXA demonstrates our ongoing commitment to this underserved population by offering a much needed treatment option to these patients and marks a significant milestone for the Company," said Lou Ferrari, President and Chief Executive Officer of Savient. "We continue to establish relationships with clinicians and key opinion leaders in Europe, and we anticipate product launch in the region by mid-2013." The European Commission's approval decision was based upon safety and efficacy data from Savient's two pivotal Phase III studies, and a long-term open label extension study of KRYSTEXXA, as well as non-clinical and chemistry, manufacturing and control information. Until the product becomes commercially available in the EU, Savient will continue to provide KRYSTEXXA to patients through the established Named Patient Programme (NPP).

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has finally openly declared his opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state. He made clear that under his watch Palestinians would never have a home. "When they say, 'Go back to 67 lines', I stand against. When they say, 'don't build in Jerusalem, I stand against. It is very easy to capitulate.I could go back to the impossible to defend 67 lines and divide Jerusalem and we would get Hamas 400 metros from my home." These are sad words from a Jewish leader who has lost sight of the origin of a Jewish homeland. It was always the intention of Jewish leaders that Palestinians would have their own homeland.
A reality check. Under leadership of President Abbas and the Palestinian Authority violence has ended in areas they supervise. Neither Hamas nor terrorists are in action. Netanyahu is the American version of the Tea Party and his goal is to dehumanize Palestinians and to spread fear and hate. Unfortunately, most modern Jewish Israelis have become, not people of the book, but people of hate.

How to add colors to an illuminated surface?
The command
ListPlot3D[surface, LightSources-> ls, ViewPoint -> vp]
produces a surface illuminated by the light sources supplied,
whereas the command
ListPlot3D[surface, addedShades , LightSources-> ls, ViewPoint -> vp]
ignores the LightSources option when I use it.
Since I want to add some surface colors, surfaceShades, to those
determined by the illumination, I wrote my own illumination program,
which returns illumShades.
I then add my surface colors to them and use
ListPlot3D[surface, illumShades + surfaceShades]
This works but is slower than the built-in illumination routines.
One solution would be a function that returns the actual shades used
in ListPlot3D:
illumShades = MMAFunc[surface, LightSources-> ls, ViewPoint -> vp],
which I would then modify.
Is there a way to get the shades computed by ListPlot3D?

AFC won't fund propaganda through NCN, GINA –Cathy Hughes
AFC MP Cathy Hughes on Wednesday signalled that her party will not approve of the use of taxpayers' money if the National Communications Network (NCN) and the Government Information Agency (GINA) were to remain as "propaganda agencies" of the ruling PPP/C administration.
"…Let the PPP pay for this as none of the opposition political parties in this house have asked that Guyana's tax dollars be used to pay for their in house PR campaigns," Hughes said on day three of the budget debate.
She argued that the $200 million of taxpayers' money that the government has set aside to "promote itself is not only bare talks but it is only PPP talks….it seems the only group that can secure airtime on NCN is the government…No one really knows what GINA does and how whatever it does is supposed to benefit the people of Guyana, but the people are being asked to give them $139 million. To do what? Write letters to the editor and those GINA press releases?"
In the proposed 2014 budget, $81 million is to be allocated as a subvention for NCN, while $139 million is to be allocated for GINA. Hughes questioned why such a significant amount of money should be designated to these two entities when in comparison, the main agency for attracting investment, the Guyana Office for Investment, was $119 million, approximately $20 million less than GINA.
"We all know what democracy is but somehow it escaped the operation of the National Communica-tions Network… we are not vengeful when it comes to NCN but it has to do with the abuse of a public entity for partisan benefit. It is the watchdog function of this house to guard against such abuse," she stressed.
Hughes also queried why NCN does not have the capacity to carry the Learning Channel after the government has spent billions of taxpayers' money over the last twenty years. "In addition to the $220 million that the government has allocated to blow its own trumpet, another $43.2 million will be paid as fees at the rate of $3.6 million per month to TVG for services provided for the Learning Channel…. The government plans to take an additional 43 million plus tax dollars and pay it to TVG to carry educational material. I know the government will counter and claim that NCN lacks to capacity to carry the Learning Channel but, at the same time, they must explain why the investment was not made. Where did the money go?" she questioned.
The AFC MP also quoted fellow house member and Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee, who recently accused Stabroek News of biased coverage. "Therein the Honourable Minister stated, I quote, 'All media houses have a duty to be responsible in providing balanced coverage of the political views.' Minister Rohee… you are absolutely correct… and I would ask you to explain this concept to your friends at GINA and NCN," Hughes asserted.
'Tourism support'
Hughes also spent a significant amount of time in her speech on tourism. The recent announcement that funding for a specialty hospitality training institution is underway is welcome, she said, as stakeholders have highlighted the need for specialty training as a means of raising standards and improving quality.
One of the proposals she said her party would be making is the implementation of a reduced rate of Value Added Tax (VAT) for the tourism sector to give the industry a "jump start." She pointed out that such an arrangement already exists in The Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica and Jamaica.
She also said that while the Guyana Tourism Authority has recorded 200,122 visitors, "…inadequate financing year after year has meant that Guyana has failed to implement a comprehensive destination market plan, which is fundamental to moving any tourism industry forward, and so we continue to wallow in the dream of the potential this sector can offer."
"This single fact can only be interpreted as a failure to understand that it is estimated that this sector contributed approximately 237 million US dollars to Guyana's GDP while contributing 190 million in value added revenues. Compare this to the funds given to the industry. May I suggest therefore that in this budget …we allocate funds to accurately calculate the contribution of our tourism industry to the GDP," Hughes said.
Hughes also pointed out that "government had no right to take funds from our national reserves to build another hotel for a team of foreigners to manage…that should have been left to the private sector!… And yes money from NICIL belongs to the people of Guyana and should be include as revenues within this budget." She was referring to the Marriott Hotel venture.
She also highlighted the need to market the sector effectively, including damage control messages in light of daily stories of crime, as well as for the urgent run off of local elections in order to achieve a long term solution to the city's garbage crisis.
Hughes also highlighted the need to support the arts and she decried the fact that while the Theatre Guild, which is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers, gets a paltry $750,000 per year as a subvention, it is still to receive payment for its use during Carifesta in 2008 and which led to a $14 million debt to the Guyana Power and Light Inc. "You see the Theatre Guild is listed as an industrial entity and their electricity bill starts at a mandatory $300,000 every month regardless if a light is switched on or energy consumed,' she explained, while adding that in a recent letter to the opposition parties, the Guild requested that this matter be brought before the Assembly for consideration.
Lofty plans
Hughes said that there were lofty plans for investment in Information and Communication Techno-logy (ICT), including the $1.1 billion budgeted for the e-Government project and the re-launch of the One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) initiative, for which $2 billion is budgeted for the acquisition of a third batch of laptops.
"They sound good, they look good in the papers, but ICT is not just about running cables, putting up towers and distributing laptops, it is about making information available and we can't help but wonder who will benefit from the billion dollar ICT contracts in the absence of the Public Procurement Commis-sion?" she questioned.
She also drew attention to the 2012 Auditor General's report, which showed that a difference of $1.252 billion was spent under the OLPF Programme for the acquisition of 27,000 laptops, which were received in 2013. At the time of audit, she said, 4,149 of those laptops were issued but more remarkably, 2,649 were damaged, and 2,011 were returned to the supplier due to defects. "In addition, we are yet to hear the final take of the 103 laptops that were stolen. Now, this government is asking us to approve $2 billion for more laptops. Mr. Speaker, the Alliance For Change fully supports every school, not only secondary schools, but every school having fully functional IT labs but at the rate these laptops are being damaged, even before they get to the people, leaves a lot to be desired. And while we look at laptops for every home and every school, what is the plan for the University of Guyana students. We in the Alliance For Change would like to see each university student being given a laptop and a working one please!" she declared.
Also speaking on the planned $625 increase for old age pensioners, Hughes said that this "will not cover the cost of the grillwork they now need to install in their homes to protect them in this Guyana." She also made reference to the recent fatal attacks on two pensioners.

Taking another step into the world of high fashion, Kanye West used the "banned" covers of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to make limited edition silk scarves with French design partnership M/M (Paris). The five prints--Power, Phoenix, Face, Priest and Ballerina--are based on his "musical fantasies."
The limited edition scarves will be sold for a whopping $364. There are only 100 of each design being made and sold exclusively through M/M (Paris) and at Collete, a French boutique. Yeezy has always been expanding his artistic range since starting as a producer, coming out as a rapper, directing and writing movies, starting a clothing line and now this. Although the scarves are not in the price range for most regular folk, the designs are hot, controversial and stylish. We can only hope to see more creations from Kanye in the near future.

(a) Calculate the molarity of a solution that contains 0.175 mol
ZnCl2 in exactly 150 mL of solution. (b) How many moles of
HCl are present in 35.0 mL of a 4.50 M solution of nitric acid?
(c) How many milliliters of 6.00 MNaOH solution are needed
to provide 0.325 mol of NaOH?
a) M = moles/L
b) There is no HCl in HNO3. You must have typed this wrong.
c) M = moles/L. You now M and moles, solve for L and convert to mL.
Determine the molarity of a 300.0mL solution that contains 12.05g Na(2)SO(4)
To find the molarity of a solution the equation is: molarity = (moles of solute)/(volume in Liters (this is important you must convert any other volume to liters))
a)0.175 mol ZnCl2 in exactly 150 mL solution.
First note that 150ml = .150 L solution
Set up the equation
M = (0.175 moles ZnCl2)/(0.150 L solution)
M=1.17M ZnCl2
b) moles of HCL in 35.0 mL of 4.50 M Nitric Acid
First note again that 35.0 mL = 0.0350L
Set up the equation
4.50 M HNO3 = (moles solute)/(0.0350L)
4.50 MHNO3 x 0.0350L = moles solute
4.50 MHNO3 x 0.0350L = moles solute
0.1575 mole HCl
Check Sig Figs
0.158 moles HCl
c) mL of 6.00 MNaOH solution to provide 0.325 mol NaOH
First note here that they ask for mL not L which means an extra conversion must be used
Set up the equation
6.00 M NaOH = (0.325 mol NaOH)/(Volume in L)
Volume in L = 6.00 M NaOH/0.325 mol NaOH
Volume in L = 6.00 M NaOH/0.325 mol NaOH = 18.46 L
Watch Sig Figs
Convert to mL
or 18500 mL
Kate's (a) and (b) are correct, but (c) is incorrect.
6.00 M NaOH = (0.325 mol NaOH) / (mL NaOH)
mL NaOH = (0.325 mol NaOH) / (6.00 M NaOH)
With correct significant figures, the answer to (c) is 54.2 mL.

Fog Blamed for Huge SE Side Pile Up
Heavy fog is blamed for a massive multi car pile up in southeast Bexar County this morning, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Deputies say more than thirty vehicles were involved in a series of chain reaction collisions on Interstate 37 between Hardy Road and Loop 1604. Both northbound and southbound 37 had to be closed due to the wrecks.
Deputies on the scene say visibility in the area is '100 feet or less,' and the wrecks are blamed on the inability of drivers to see the pile up developing ahead of them.
There are no serious injuries, but the highway is expected to remain closed for some time.

TechStars For A Day Deadline Approaches
The early application deadline for the next class at Boulder-based startup accelerator TechStars is approaching, with applications for the accelerator's TechStars for A Day program due by February 26th. The program brings prospective TechStars companies to the accelerator--and Boulder--for a day, to better get to know the team of mentors, existing companies, and learn more about the program. The final deadline is March 16th to apply. TechStars Boulder is the original program developed by David Cohen, Brad Feld, and others to help get startups funded and launched, and has been very successful in drawing startups, talent, and investment dollars into the region. TechStars has since extended its model to other regions of the country; helped to power other groups looking to create their own, TechStars-affiliated programs; had a television show created around its efforts; and launched a significant number of venture backed companies from its ranks.

Reno, Nev. » Part two of the season no one expected came to a triumphant conclusion Saturday night. Part three begins late next week when Utah State travels who knows where for the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Aggies' convincing 72-62 victory against Nevada for the Western Athletic Conference tournament championship on the Wolf Pack's home court not only sent USU streaking into March Madness, but teams on the "bubble" throughout the college landscape are also breathing a bit easier.
In typical Utah State style, its school record 30th win was the result of balanced scoring, controlling the tempo and an aggressive defense that left Nevada wondering where its offense had gone to. Granted, the Wolf Pack (21-12) missed plenty of open shots, but the Aggies were also responsible for allowing Nevada to shoot 31 percent.
The victory also came on the same Lawlor Events Center court where a couple weeks ago the Wolf Pack thoroughly trounced USU.
"Our players were excited to redeem themselves," said USU coach Stew Morrill, who will take his sixth team in 10 years to a NCAA Tournament. "We were in a real good mind set [the entire tournament]."
Utah State could not have asked for a better start. In the opening 10 minutes, Nevada made just two of its first 19 shots and trailed 21-4.
The Wolf Pack shaved the Aggie lead to five at the half, but tournament Most Valuable Player Gary Wilkinson scored six of his game-high 21 points during a two-minute stretch early in the second half to push the lead back to 13.
From that point, USU continued to push the margin until it reached 19. Down the stretch, with Nevada forced to foul, the Aggies made 11 of 14 free throws.
"We just got outplayed," Nevada coach Mark Fox said. "It wasn't our night."
Fox dismissed the notion that his team was tight to start, saying that having played its second game in less than 24 hours took its toll.
"We couldn't finish," he said.
Again, USU's defense had a lot to do with Nevada's problems. Everywhere UN guard Armon Johnson turned, Aggie defender Pooh Williams was in his face. Johnson finished with 20, but 10 came late when the Wolf Pack began bombing away trying to get close.
Williams, who also scored 12 points, added the exclamation to the USU victory by slamming home a 30-foot alley-oop pass from Wilkinson.
"That's not our style," Wilkinson said. "That was the way the game was going."
Jared Quayle, Tyler Newbold and Tai Wesley, all named the the all-tournament team, finished in double figures. Quayle also grabbed 10 rebounds.
"This is a lot different than Western Wyoming," Quayle said.
No doubt.
In Short » USU improves to a school-record 30-4 and advances to its sixth NCAA Tournament in 10 seasons with balanced scoring and tough defense.
Key Moment » Utah State jumps out to a 21-4 lead.
Key Stat » Nevada shoots 31 percent from the floor.

If you are offered $30,000 fifty years from now or $95 today, which would you choose and why?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I'd take $95 today. The chances are slim that anyone over 30 now will be alive and able to enjoy $30,000 in fifty years.
What Ms. Sue wrote is not the case. You need the interest rate to continue on in the problem.
You can not compare sums of money in different time periods. So, we have to discount the $30,000 to be in terms of today's dollars. $30,000 in fifty years is not worth $30,000 today. We would need to solve:
PV = 30,000/(1+r)^50
To get the present value of the $50,000 in today's dollars, given the prevailing interest rate (and assuming that rates will be constant over that 50 years, which I'm assuming you are doing).
If we take an example rate of 10%, we can plug in and solve:
Which is greater than the $95 you are receiving today. To find out which rate would make you indifferent between the two outcomes, you would solve:
30,000/(1 + r)^50 = 95
Where r is the rate written as a decimal (ex: 3% = 0.03)
If D0 = $2.00, g (which is constant) = 6%, and P0 = $40, what is the stock's expected dividend yield for the coming year? a. 5.0% b. 5.1% c. 5.3% d. 5.6% e. 5.8%
A share of common stock has just paid a dividend of $2.00. If the expected long-run growth rate for this stock is 7%, and if investors require a(n) 11% rate of return, what is the price of the stock?
PV = FV/(1+i)^n FV n "Compounding
Periods" n i i FVIF PV
$30,000.00 50 1 50 12% 0.12 $289.002 $103.81
Present Value of $30,000 today is $103.80 when compared to $95 that he is getting today, therefore the kid should take $30,000 in 50 years.

Sarah Hoyt has some interesting remarks on how to conduct yourself in a blog war...most of which sound like good ideas for discourse in general. Things like knowing who you're talking to. Knowing what you're talking about. Attacking ideas, not individuals. Supporting your argument rather than appealing to what everybody knows (because it is probably wrong).I have no interest in starting a blog war—I am not a controversialist—but the points she makes are worthy of note. … [Read more...]

I mentioned here that it is starting to feel more like fall here in TN. My herbs are starting to have that fall look to them. I read at Kalyn's Kitchen about freezing fresh herbs to use throughout the winter. I have never tried that before, always opting instead to spend a small fortune on those little tiny plastic packages of fresh herbs from the grocery store. What was really frustrating was that, more often than not, when I opened the packages I would find them moldy! After reading about how to freeze herbs, I thought that I would give it a try here. I make lots of soups and curries in the winter and tossing in some fresh herbs will really make a difference.
I read Kaylyn's post about this several weeks ago, and I didn't go back and look at it again before I started the process, so I used a blender instead of a food processor. I don't know that it really makes a difference, but I think a food processor might be better. I had to keep shoving the basil leaves down in the blender and it ended up that those on the bottom were almost liquid, while those on the top hadn't even been touched. Since I use basil in a lot of Mediterranean dishes, I used olive oil to keep the basil moist. I'm going to also try this with my Thai basil, and I'll probably use a more neutral oil for that.
This was so quick and easy to do, the hardest part was trying to find our old ice cube trays! We've had a refrigerator with an ice maker for so long, I had no idea where the trays were. I didn't do any canning this year, or last year, or the year before that, so it feels good to have put away something for the winter. I feel so like Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. That is…if Laura had a blender, a refrigerator and a freezer!
Also, thanks to Katie from Thyme for Cooking for letting me know that my blogger feed has not been updating since July 31!!! I think that was right around when I signed up for Feedburner. Which was really stupid, because I don't have any idea what feedburner is, or why I even wanted it. But part of the process involved my typing in my feedburner url, or some such thing, and I type it in wrong. So, I think that is what has happened to my feed. I'm not really sure how to get it back, since I barely know how I lost it. I'm hoping that by erasing the incorrect name, deleting all possible feedburner feeds, that I am back to square one. If anyone else subscribes to me, and thank you from the bottom of my blogger heart, please let me know if you start receiving an updated feed.

On August 18, 2013 at 12:18 am, an officer with the Fairview Township Police Department was on patrol in the area of Lewisberry Road and the Interstate 83 North entrance ramp. The officer observed that traffic was backing up on the ramp. Upon investigating the reason, the officer located a Ford sedan that had driven partially up onto the concrete barrier that separates the entrance and exit ramps.
The officer then made contact with the driver of the car, 22 year old Jared Winters of the 700 block of Market Street in New Cumberland and a juvenile male. The officer immediately detected an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The officer also observed drug paraphernalia on the floor of the vehicle.
Upon talking to Winters, the officer detected a strong odor consistent with that of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. His eyes were also observed to be glassy and blood shot in appearance and his speech was slurred. Once outside of the vehicle, Winters was found to be very unsteady on his feet to the point that the officer had to catch him as he was falling over.
After a tow truck was able to pull the car off of the concrete barrier, an officer observed a plastic container between the driver's seat and the center console that contained suspected marijuana.
Winters was subsequently arrested for DUI, possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was transported to the York County judicial center for processing and arraignment. He was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge David Eshbach and committed to York County Prison on $2,500 bail.

The Quaternions with an application to Rigid Body Dynamics
Coutsias, Evangelos A.

William Rowan Hamilton invented the quaternions in 1843, in his effort to construct hypercomplex numbers, or higher dimensional generalizations of the complex numbers. Failing to construct a generalization in three dimensions (involving "triplets") in such a way that division would be possible, he considered systems with four complex units and arrived at the quaternions. He realized that, just as multiplication by i is a rotation by 90o in the complex plane, each one of his complex units could also be associated with a rotation in space. Vectors were introduced by Hamilton for the first time as "pure quaternions" and Vector Calculus was at first developed as part of this theory. Maxwell's Electromagnetism was first written using quaternions.

Hill District hacking group aims to use skills for good
Four men sit inside a Hill District garage on a frigid evening, plotting to bend machines to their will.
Like a laboratory for building a Frankenstein robot, the garage holds lots of parts. Pieces of a Roomba vacuum cleaner are stored in one box; across the way, a vending machine spills its guts onto the floor.
Shelves made from two-by-fours and plywood hold dozens of books on topics such as knot-tying, Lego robots and computer coding. A plastic deer stands near the door with a mannequin head wearing an Irish cap.
Each man has his own half-finished endeavors, such as building a safe-breaking robot that would try every combination to get in. Together, they share tasks such as floating a weather balloon 20 miles in the air or retrofitting a child's toy car to travel 30 mph.
The members of HackPittsburgh share a mission, too: making useful things rather than making havoc.
"Here we are a community of people who like to take things and make them do other things than their intended purpose," said club President Scott Thomas, 34.
Unlike "black hat" hackers who might try to steal your identification and drain your bank account, these "makers" — as they like to call themselves — simply enjoy tearing apart machines to see how they work, then building others from their parts. By day, they work as software engineers and computer security experts. Here they have fun.
The group sponsors Friday night public lectures on topics such as building a snow-making machine. It helps put on the Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire, a summertime event for showing off remade items.
Around a long table on this night, two men sit in front of open laptop computers, eating Chinese takeout. A third man purrs as he runs his hands over a complete set of socket wrenches. Members can go and come as they please, as long as they keep their personal projects confined to a bin while they're gone.
Doug Philips, the group's treasurer, wears a head scarf printed to look as if it has neon paint splatters like a Jackson Pollock painting. He wears gold-rimmed wire glasses and has a bushy gray beard. On his own, he's working to design art with lighted fabrics.
"The point is," he said, "I could be in my own basement, but I wouldn't have a community around me."

The idea seems great. But how would you access the worker.properties file on the remote machine.

Origami Design is the Swiss Army Knife of Spoons
The Polygons a multi-functional measuring device that can be stored flat and folded to form scoops of different sizes
When you use a spoon to eat ice-cream or stir your coffee, improvements to the design are probably the last thing on your mind. It's likely that you have other things to think about. But one designer has boldly gone where no man has gone before, to make major improvements to this essential utensil.
The Polygons by National Institute of Design studentRahul Agarwal looks nothing like an ordinary spoon. It's a rectangular piece of polypropylene with a pattern of lines etched onto it alongside some measurements.
These lines are hinges that enable the user to turn the fabric into a spoon. When you fold the Polygons in half lengthways, it forms a triangular scoop at the end. By holding it at various points, marked by the numbers, you can change the size of this scoop. There are four different size options, from teaspoon to tablespoon.
Agarwal envisions the all-in-one device as a huge help to amateur cooks. He explains on his website:
Not everyone can afford the luxury of a set of measuring spoons, for finer tuning of their cooking, thus they have to make do with estimating the ingredients using a single standard spoon. This might be ok for seasoned cooks, but anyone new to cooking will have difficulty doing so.
The all-in-one device is so versatile that it would be useful in many situations. Agarwal also envisions shop vendors using the Polygons and it also being incorporated into perforated packaging. It could replace the standard spoon at home, be used by campers and people caravanning and it's light enough for anyone to carry around.
Instead of using a plastic spoon with takeaway items, you could simple unfold the Polygons in your pocket. Its potential to replace disposable spoons is important to Agarwal, his website states, "Polygons is extremely cost effective and does its bit to reduce environmental clutter".
As it folds out flat, it's easy to wipe the utensil clean and it's also simple to store, you can even use it to bookmark your favourite recipe. This also has sustainable advantages, as packing and shipping the origami device would be a lot less environmentally damaging than doing so with standard metal spoons.
Also, instead of wasting thick or sticky liquids like honey that you cannot completely remove from a spoon, you can just wipe the flat surface against the edge of the bottle or jar.
Given the simplicity and practicality of the Polygons, it doesn't surprise us that the design was a winner of the 2014 Core 77 Design Awards. Rahul Agarwal has come up with an ingenious design that improves upon an item most of us use every day.

"This was just the card we needed to send to family and friends for my son's graduation presents. I only used a photo with the words thank you on the front on the card. It was tasteful and just the right look."
"I ordered this thank you for my daughters first birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The quality was amazing and everyone just loved them."
"They look beautiful. I ordered thank you cards, but loved that I could change the caption to something more general and appropriate for my present."
"This card was smaller than I was anticipating (should have checked the dimensions), but the paper was thick and textured and the photo print quality was excellent. Would definitely recommend for a cute, quality thank-you card."
"My husband and I waited for our professional photos to create this thank you card for our wedding. The paper is high quality, the colors are pristine. We are actually excited to send thank you's to our guests!"

problems with desert landscaping before they occur and how to correct those that do. In the first part, "How to Start and Maintain a Desert Landscape," he provides 28 easy-to-use chapters that address concerns ranging from how to start a wildflower garden to how to cope with Texas root rot. In Part Two, "A Month-By-Month Maintenance Guide," he offers a handy almanac that tells what to do and what to watch out for each month of the year, with cross-references to the chapters in Part One. Homeowners who maintain their own landscape will find in this book ways to make the work more satisfying and productive, while those who hire landscape contractors can make sure the work is done effectively and economically. "You'll find all kinds of books on desert landscape design and materials, irrigation system and design, and landscape installation," says Brookbank. "So far as I know, however, this is the only book that tells you what to do with what you've got and how to keep it growing."

"There have been many, many great players over the years at D.C. United, players that we remember and honor in many ways," said team president and CEO Kevin Payne at the retirement ceremony. "But I don't know if any of them has made any greater impact on the culture of this club and on the hearts of our fans than Ben Olsen. He has left a legacy at this team and in this city that will live for a long time after his playing days."
Those days lasted into the 2009 season only through hard, intense work to recover from repair of degenerative damage that required four separate surgeries in 2008 alone, and nine operations during his professional career.
"I was very happy -- I didn't think it was going to happen," said Olsen of getting back on the field in 2009 after playing just 15 minutes in 2008. "But to get back, to get through this year, I got through it, let's say, through modern medicine. It was definitely with the help of anti-inflammatories and shots and things that, I don't know how long you want to keep doing.
"As the season ended, I wanted to cleanse myself from a lot of that stuff, and then the reality hit. The true ankle, the ankle I'm going to deal with for the rest of my life, showed itself and it spooked me a little bit."
He punches out with 221 regular-season games and 22 playoff matches during which he scored 31 goals, registered 51 assists, and won two league titles (1999 and 2004). He played on eight trophy-winning teams, If ever a player carried his lunch-bucket persona with pride and purpose, that was Ben Olsen.
Last September, he spoke of lasting perhaps one more year, how much the league has changed, and how grateful he felt to wear the D.C. United badge so often and for so long, since coming to MLS out of Virginia in 1998 and winning Rookie of the Year honors. " I feel good, I feel blessed, and I don't mean all the time to be talking about being old," said Olsen, who turned 32 in May. "I think I have a year or two left in me if the ankle cooperates. I'm still enjoying it, and probably enjoying it more than I ever have.
"I'm still high-maintenance. I'm still as moody as ever, but it's more for lack of sleep than anything." Olsen and his wife, Megan, are the parents of a daughter, Ruby, who was born a little more than a year ago. He credits them with surviving the anxiety and uncertainty about his health and his career as long as he did.
"The first time I went through it, the first of the four surgeries in 2002 or 2003, I don't even know, it's all a blur, I met my wife," he says. "So after the first surgery, I fell in love, so that helped me through that. The second time [in 2008], we had a child on the way, so that was a very big part of me not completely losing my mind."
The RFK faithful occasionally lost their minds thanks to Olsen, whose labored efforts the past few seasons drew respect if not always praise. He scored just one goal in 2009 but it was incredible, dramatic, gutsy: a header from a seemingly impossible angle on a free kick flighted past the far post and nearly out of play while Olsen outmuscled Wells Thompson on the goal line to nod the ball into the net for a stoppage-time equalizer.
Usually, it was his rugged, sometimes ruthless play that neutralized the opposition and energized his teammates and fans, yet either out wide or in the middle, Olsen could use the ball once he'd won it, nicking a quick, smart pass to the bevy of playmakers and attackers United has employed in the past decade. In that time, he's seen dramatic changes.
"The style has changed in 10 years," says Olsen. "I hesitate to say we're that much better as a soccer league. There were some very good teams early, and there were some very bad teams, too. It's certainly more level from team to team, teams have gotten better. There were a couple of teams back in the day that obviously were very good and very successful.
"Now it's younger, it's more athletic, it's a faster league. The pace of the players has changed. Speed is important now in this league, but sometimes you don't have the quality of play with that speed, with some of the Latin influence we had in the league."
As much as he will miss the club, the locker-room banter, and the battles, he won't miss those agonizing hours before kickoff. As usual, he lays into himself for being a niggling, nervous pain in the neck. "The only thing worse than game day is locker-room game day, before the game," he says. "I just annoy everybody in the locker room. I just talk to them until they tell me to shut up, so guys are starting to come in late.
"They're not fun. I never liked game day. I always feel like I'm wasting my life away because you feel trapped. You can't do too much. The anxiety is there, the excitement. When I'm done I will not miss game days, that's for sure."

I was clicking around a website that I just recently found... and they had a list of bath & body craft projects... one of those was how to make bath cookies. Now this isn't something I had on my list of things to try, but after looking at how simple the recipe was, and then, you know me... going for the right brain and thinking what 'else' we could do with this recipe, it came to me.
Cookie Cutters!! You could of course use cookie cutters, rather than simply making round ordinary cookies, but you could really go so much further than just festive holiday style cookies with this idea too. Wedding/Birthday/Anniversary party favors, Promos, and more!
Cookie cutters are available in so many shapes and sizes, and even better yet, us soapers are often crafty enough to try different containers for soap molds... get creative and find fun things to use for cookie cutters too, ay?
Hope you have fun with this one... another great project for the whole family!
Have a great weekend all!

Isaac expected to strengthen, make landfall Tuesday night
NEW ORLEANS - Isaac is now a Category 1 Hurricane with 75 mph winds.
Some drier air working into the storm has slowed down the strengthening process. Also, since Isaac is moving over cooler and more shallow waters in the northern Gulf, the storm may not have much time left to strengthen too much.
The biggest threat with this storm will be flooding not winds. The storm surge may be between 6-12 feet right along the coast.
Plus, flooding rains of over a foot are possible not just along the coastline but further inland. Isaac's remnants will move northward into the midwest and are not expected to arrive in the Carolinas.

Guggenheim offers ultimate sleepover for art lovers
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - New York art lovers now have the ultimate sleepover to rival children's nocturnal stays at the Natural History Museum -- a night in the Guggenheim Museum.
The Guggenheim Museum is welcoming overnight guests as part of a new exhibition called "theanyspacewhatever" and the rates aren't bad compared to the usual high prices for central Manhattan hotels.
The Guggenheim's Chief Curator Nancy Spector said the idea came up when Carsten Holler, one of 10 artists whose works make up the exhibition, was working through plans for his exhibit "Revolving Hotel Room."
Holler, a Belgian artist who lives and works in Sweden, asked if the museum would be willing to extend its opening hours to accommodate a hotel room.
"We were very interested in it, because it does in many ways encapsulate the concerns of these artists to really stretch the parameters of what a museum can be," Spector told Reuters Television.
"At night our guests will be able to stay in the museum and enjoy the exhibition by themselves."
She said this concept fitted the idea of the overall exhibition in which the artists mix visual arts with other disciplines such as literature, architecture, design and theater to extend the usual practices of museum.
The first overnight guest at the exhibition, which opens on Friday and runs until January 7, will be actress Chloe Sevigny who will sleep in the room on Saturday.
The "Revolving Hotel Room" consists of sleeping, dressing, and working areas mounted on top of four glass discs that all turn at a very slow speed. Continued...

I don't understand. Is it a scam? Are all those
[language edit] plugins on WF really selling 50+ in a day?
The internet has a mixed opinion. Some say it's a complete, elaborate scam. Other say it's a genuine marketing forum.
I would like to have some serious insight
It is a genuine forum, a lot of the people on there do make some money through internet marketing techniques such as affiliate programs. A lot of the WP plugins on there are a bit crap, but they appeal to the internet marketing crowd.
What you need to distinguish between is the forum itself, where if you wanted to take up internet marketing you might find some useful information, and the WSO (Warrior Special Offers) Forum which is just full of people selling crap to gullible idiots
I recently read an thread on the WarriorForum about "Auto Affiliate X"
(I don't even know how I came to this thread)
The funny thing is, that the admin himself created that thread and promotes with "sit-back-and-earn-money" slogans. The comments are probably all fake, hundrets and hundrets of comments like "oh, thank you I am rich now".
People, please, before even downloading
[language edit] like this think about why you should earn money with that and especially for what.
If it really makes people rich they'd never tell anyone about it.
WarriorForum is full of IM n00bs looking for an entry into the IM / "Make money online" world.
It's easy to criticise but a lot of people genuinely start out on sites like this.
The hundreds of comments you see aren't all fake (you pay to have WSO's and promoted posts 'bumped', which technically are fake).
The site is huge, and it's full of people looking for ways to make money online.
Many of my friends (one even sat next to me right now) make a lot of money selling legitimate services, educational courses and other products as WSO's.
The greatest internet marketing forum (in my opinion).
As far I know the forum isn't scam at all. Just maybe some new people feel cheated there (most are new in IM, and looking such magic way to earn huge money online fast), and indeed there is a con (but not the forum).
Are all those shitty plugins on WF really selling 50+ in a day?Could be, but some of sellers paying other people or fake accounts for testimonials, then grabbed 50 sales a day. Then dozens of "Paypal dispute" in your account, a few days later asking for refund
Internet marketing is a real business that you can earn some serious money from, but to be honest most of those posts on WF look kinda suspicous to me…
I mean i know it's a legit forum, it has been around for years, but all those posts "LOOK I MADE XXX DOLLARS IN ONE DAY, I'LL TEACH YOU HOW" immediately turn on the 'warning signal' to me. I think a lot of those posts are just people promoting their ad networks and products.
There probably is some valuable information, only you have to be really careful.
WarriorForum is legitimate, however you must wade through a lot of rubbish to get to the good stuff. Some of the top posters on there give good advice but you'll find wannabes, scammers, posers and so on much more prevalent.
Also, the WSO section is generally full of people selling the same rehashed advice and "get rich quick" schemes. How can you tell a "get rich quick" scheme? When they tell you they aren't a "get rich quick" scheme you can be pretty sure they are
However, I do know a few people who make a load of money on there selling WSO's so who knows, maybe it can be a useful website?
Just a heads up if anyone is thinking about selling a WordPress related product on the WarriorForum, yes you can make a fair amount of money but in terms of recursive revenue i found a service such as ThemeForest far the best option in my opinion.
My experience with WarriorForum is that it's plagued with snake-oil salesmen. There are very few legitimate people who are willing to help a newbie out. The rest seem to peddle their product, which is just hot air.
So can I have a CodeCanyon item link inside a WSO ? The WSO itself would be free but people need to buy the product from CodeCanyon ?

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:09am
With the drop of Inside Lacrosse magazine's first issue of 2013, we bring you a look at some of the gear involved in the photoshoot for the cover that, thanks to another of the wildest trades in pro lacrosse history, resulted in Jordan Hall being featured in a Rochester Knighthawks uniform, though he's now a member of the Philadelphia Wings.
Regardless of that issue, which IL editor-in-chief and VP John Jiloty addressed the day of the big trade, the January edition of the magazine features a ton of great content, including a look at the Knighthawks and how they built the 2012 Champion's Cup-winning squad. For the shoot, we were outside of Rochester at Total Sports Experience.
Greg Wall shot the pics, and while it was going on, we grabbed some shots of some of the equipment that made it onto the cover.
Spread of Reebok 10K and box goalie gloves for the Rochester Knighthawks on the cover of the January issue.
Custom Rochester Knighthawks Reebok 10K gloves
When we visited Curt Styres on Six Nations a few weeks ago, he was carrying a purple stick that he had Paul Gait string for him. It made me want to incorporate custom pockets and Knighthawks-colored sticks on the front of the cover.
This Reebok 6k "ill" features the company's Hyrdo-Fusion technology, which keeps the graphics from chipping or dulling over time. The Fade pattern options include a carolina, but it has a turquoise feel when paired with purple. So, I took this from Jordan Hall, a Reebok sponsored athlete, and then gave it back to him after stringing a basic pita pocket with Larry Hastings' Lax Pro Stringer — a game-changer in my mind. (Yeah, I could have carried the diamonds little further down. I'm still learning. Still like how this turned out.) Stringing materials provided by Jimalax.
This was a true rush string job in this Under Armour Charge. The pocket turned out not too shabby thanks to the Lax Pro Stringer. A Team 22 sponsored athlete, Cody Jamieson is holding this wand on the cover of the mag. String materials provided by Jimalax.
Easton sent this box of equipment to Rochester for Casey Powell, including a bunch of new heads, Easton Stealth Core gloves and other goodies from the Stealth Core line. Powell, an Easton sponsored athlete, is holding this Easton Stealth US and this Stealth Scandium shaft on the cover of the mag.
During the shoot, KHawk goaltender Matt Vinc pulled out the Bauer helmet that he's having customized for the upcoming season. Stay tuned for the premiere of this year's NLL Goalie Lids Showcase real soon.
Matt Vinc's awesome custom Reebok box goalie gloves. See more in this earlier post on these monster mitts.
