The Case for CRO: Your Website is (Probably) Leaking Conversions
At Distilled, we get a lot of leads from companies wanting SEO. Press them on what they want, and they say, "high rankings", but is that what people really want? Make a query uncommon and long enough and I'm sure a solid page can rank at the top. But, if no one is searching for a query, who cares what position it ranks in? What people want is traffic, for which rankings are often used as a proxy, but even so, traffic is really only one part of the equation. Read more

one designer
one passion
about jay
I was born in Rochdale and moved to Macclesfield when I was around 3 years old. I have always been creative and I used to be quite good at drawing (until I found computers). I moved to Preston to start a life with my (now) wife, around 2010. Since then, we have fallen pregnant three times and have two beautiful daughters and strapping boy.
As you will probably see from the gallery I enjoy working on all different types of projects, ranging from something like, designing a logo or creating a fully rigged 3D character, ready for a game. I also run a very small YouTube channel and recorded tutorial videos. These videos are mainly to teach people how to make 3D models and how to apply textures to them. Making 3D models is a relatively new love of mine; I have only been working with 3D software for around 3 years, but, I love how creative you can be inside the software. Thank you for taking the time to look at my site. If you would like to get in contact regarding a project, please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from you.

So... for the 2nd year in a row we had 5 guys apply for reserved hunts, and none successful. It seems as if the chances have really gone down the tubes. I don't feel that there are that many more waterfowl hunters...
I am a math type of person.... so I tried to analyze this.
Each application has 2x chances to get a hunt. That means that for 2 years we are 0 for 20.
IF we had gotten just 1 application accepted that would give us a 1/20 chance (it is worse than this but we'll use this as reference). This is a 5% chance. One of the locations we apply for is SRSGA. Lets say that they give out 100 tickets (although I think they may only give out 80 or so).
If it is a 1/20 chance or worse, and 100 tickets are given out, and my logic is correct, that would mean that 2,000 + people must have applied. Even if it is only 80 hunts... thats still 1600 people.
Are there really 2,000 hunters that apply just for SRSGA?! Or is there something else going on here?
I've heard rumors that Anti-hunters will purchase these apps just to cause hunters not to get them...
I guess the reason I am skeptical is 5 years ago and more... we were successful every year, with some years getting multiple draws... what has changed?

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
I was wondering if there are any employment laws regarding parents of children with disablities?
Here is the situation. I am a single parent of three children one of which has numerous medical conditions and is also has autism. I am a nurse and work 12 hr shifts but since the facility I work at is having finanical troubles and shortage of staff they are trying to make me do jobs that i ahve not agreed to but are in my scope of practice they tell me that if i don't they will cut my hours and i could lose my insurance. they also want to make me work more than my regularly scheduled shifts due shortage of staff . I have explained to them that due to my children and the fact that I must rely on my 65 year old mom to babysit (I don't feel safe leaving my autisic son with many people due to his behaviors at times) that is not possible. can they fire me for thse things.
If it is just a question of babysitting issues, yes they can fire you for not being available when they need you to work.
With some limited exception for truck drivers, pilots etc, you employer can work you until your drop and then start all over again--just so long as they keep paying you (OT I presume) They need not accomodate your personal/family needs and they can fire you if you don't work as directed.. For cause!
Due to some issues of excessive hours for medical residents there may be caps for some medical professionals _I do NOT know if they apply to RN's
If you employer is large enough and you have been on staff for at least 1 year you probably have some rights to seek up to XX? days off per year (unpaid) under FMLA for medical needs within imediate family but not babysitting and I'd not venture a bet on what the status of care for an autistic child is. .
Its usually not cost effective to pile on constant OT when one can hire folks straight time for ongoing situations...whats going on?
Many folks work 60-70 hours a week ---and I have some younger friends who routinely put in 100+
No work could worse than too much work?
Agree, if it's merely babysitting, that is not covered. However, if the medical conditions are covered under FMLA, you should be applying for it immediately.
Besides autism, what are the medical conditions involved?
What type of care by YOU does your autistic child require?
Be sure the facility and others nearby by same owners are large enough in terms of total employment to fit under FMLA and you personally have been there long enough.
As well as the need must fit inside the FMLA criteria
I'm NOT sure I'm right but think its 50 employees + within 75 miles and you need 1 year of prior service...anyhow --check to be sure .
Also if you fit but fail to ask for appropriate leave (in writing to be sure) then you are not "protected" at all.
The FMLA requirements as follows:
1.) The employer must have 50 employees within 75 miles
2.) The employee must have worked for this employer for a minimum of 12 months (need not be consecutive)
3.) The employee must have worked a minimum of 1,250 hours in the last 12 months (must be consecutive)
4.) The employee or a qualified dependent (spouse, parent, child) must have a serious health condition as defined by the FMLA statute.
The babysitting issue is that I don not trust very many people to be able to handle his behavior problems like hitting kicking biting saying inappropriate things, In the world we live in now alot of people can not handle that kind of stress and would abuse him. He is on medications for this but these do still occur at times. I have told them for 8 years this was an issue and up untill this last year it has not been that much of a problem for them. I have told them for at least 5 years that I only want to be scheduled 72 hours every 2 weeks and again it has not been a big issue until this year. I have no husband at home so I feel I need to be home with the kids as much as i can. If i don't stand up for my kids no one else will
Medical conditions include hydrocephalus with v/p shunt, nuerogenic bladder, behavior disorder, adhd,pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified(Autism), partial agenis of the corpus collusum( right and left sides of the brain don not communicate), tethered spinal cord with release,GERD. has had 11 surgeries in 8 years.
You said : I have explained to them that due to my children and the fact that I must rely on my 65 year old mom to babysit
No where do mention that he requires specific medical care which YOU must provde at the times you have requested not to work. You have merely said your regular babysitter cannot handle all those hours. You are obligated to provide appropriate childcare for the hours you are scheduled.

|SSome market observers have said that the
increase in crude oil price is being driven by the fact that the latest
increases in crude oil production have been mostly heavy crude oils, and
heavy crude oils are the wrong crude oils to serve demand needs. They contend
that what is really needed by refiners is light, low-sulfur crude oil, and
that production of the wrong crude oil is driving up prices.
|SMy view is production of heavy crude oil
increases the price difference between light and heavy crude oil, and that an
increase in this price difference does not translate to a higher overall
price. In fact I argue just the
opposite -- that high crude oil prices tend to increase the price difference
apart from any increases in heavy crude oil production. High light-heavy crude price differences do
not drive higher prices. The dynamics
of situation are described on this slide.
|SHigher crude oil prices increase the price
difference between residual fuel prices and prices for gasoline and
distillate. Residual fuel price is
affected by alternative fuel prices and generally does not increase with
crude oil prices. That by itself,
tends to keep the prices of heavy crude oils from increasing as fast as light
crude oils.
|SIf marginal volumes of crude oil production
are heavy, that further depresses heavy crude oil prices.
|SFinally, if refineries are running at high
utilizations, one might expect yield of residual fuel to increase as
conversion capacity becomes fully utilized, which helps to keep heavy crude
oil prices lower than lighter crude oils.
|SBut those heavy crude oils are still used, and
having those volumes is better than not having any increased volumes

Lanscaping my front yard! Help!
Hey guys, I finally got around to doing something with my front yard. I put in some cedar mulch beds in front of the house and one around the tree. I mentioned in another thread that I didn't put down plastic as I have heard pro's and con's but of course one of the "pro's" is biting me in the ass now. I have grass growing up through the 3 inches of mulch. So I took a gallon of roundup yesterday and soaked the entire area. I am hoping it kills it!
Anyways my wife and I are no landscape experts and we are trying to tidy things up ourselves to save money. We dont want the bed cramped full of plants but would like a few varietys along with a small tree inside the bed on right side. One thing I didn't do is take a more aerial view so its hard to see the depth. The right area is expecially large, can't remember the length but its around 6 foot deep. So there is plenty of room.
If you guys could suggest some plants and where to place them I would appreciate it.
You didn't say which exposure this was on your house. How many hours a day of full sun does this area get? That will make a difference as to what you can put there. What are your temperature extremes?
I would suggest that you check online with the Agricultural Extension Agency for Missouri. They should have a listing of plants that will grow well in your area. From that list you can build your own planting list.
When building your beds, think of layers: tall in the back, medium height in middle and low growing in the front. I would suggest keeping it simple until you get a feel for what you like and what works for you.
KNOW PLANT HEIGHTS! Don't make the mistake of putting in plants that will be too big for the spot you want them. Otherwise you'll be forever cutting them back.
Choose disease resistant and drought tolerant plants for easier maintenance.
If you want to add some color you could plant flowers in the front. The same rules apply here though: height, and resistance to disease and fungus.
Ok thanks for the tips. I was going to try out one of those landscape programs that allow you to import your picture. Just trying to get a feel for what things could look like.
The house faces the West, and the front gets a lot of sun during the day.
I also live in Missouri.
Your planting zone is either 5b (- 15 to -10 F) or 6a (-10 to -5 F) depending on which part of the state you live. The Western exposure is the warmest and so plants on that side of the house may require extra watering. I'm in Texas, so I'm not really how sure how warm it gets where you are.

Thanks Randell!
It gets near 100 here in the summer, mostly always in the 90s from late June to September. Then teens to single digits in the winter. It sucks we have major swings of seasons. Wish it would just stay in the 70s all year! :thumbsup:
You'll most definitely want plants that are drought tolerant then. They can be had, but you'll have to look for those that meet all your other criteria.
Good Luck!

About SFOP
"What a model to the world," keynote speaker, Archbishop John R. Quinn said to the delegates of the founding convention, referring to SFOP's distinctive work model: collaboration with others, non-violence and a focus on human dignity. Representing Feinstein was Deputy Mayor Hadley Roff, who described the convention as "a magnificent and impressive coalition" and "A formidable force that will have to be dealt with at City Hall." "Clearly", he continued, "You will be heard! We will keep the doors open and work with you."
SF Chronicle and The Examiner: May 16, 1983
History & Vision
Since its beginnings, the San Francisco Organizing Project (SFOP) has worked to create leaders who put their faith into action to make positive change for all San Franciscans. SFOP was formed when people of different faiths, races, social and economic backgrounds began to organize, integrating their spiritual and democratic values towards changing unacceptable social conditions that existed in their communities. From those early days, SFOP has become a powerful force within neighborhoods and the City, working to improve the quality of life for all San Franciscans. The purpose of this section is to provide some historical background about the roots of SFOP.
The inspiration to organize faith communities came to San Francisco by way of Oakland, CA, where in 1972, Father John Baumann, a Jesuit priest, founded a regional organization to train faith-based community organizers. This office evolved into The PICO National Network, which offers an organizing model based on the belief that the power of faith transforms people, institutions and the culture, influencing the way organized faith-communities relate to public officials, the community and one another.
The San Francisco Organizing Project began in early 1981 as a coalition of faith institutions and labor unions. Labor, community and faith leaders, inspired by the work of Saul Alinsky and realizing the potential power of involving the faith institutions of local workers, launched an organization to combat local and citywide justice issues. The "Organize Training Center," located at 1045 Market Street, housed a small staff made up of Mike Miller, a nationally recognized trainer, Larry Gordon, a rising organizer, and Josie Mooney, a local labor leader. The center trained clergy, union leaders and community residents in faith-based community organizing, using the teachings of Saul Alinsky.
In less than two years, churches, synagogues and union leaders had learned the basics of the model, and some were ready to put this into practice in the Southeast of the City. Local congregations began to gather for SFOP's first actions in 1982. Congregations like St. Elizabeth's, led by Father Rasmussen, implemented the organizing model by conducting research with over 250 families in their homes to discover community concerns and identify leaders. The spirit of these first actions was one of interfaith cooperation. At one large action, Fr. Rasmussen welcomed 400 delegates, Rabbi Asher of Congregation Emanu-El, the master of ceremonies, prayed with them for God's wisdom, and the keynote speaker, Reverend Aurelious Walker from True Hope Church of God in Christ challenged the delegates with prophetic words: "We are a first, and as God is a foundation, we will build."
The first major test of the new trained leaders was a campaign against the Housing Authority in 1982-83. Tenants of the Potrero Hill and Bayview Hunter's Point housing developments had been ignored every time they requested Housing Authority remove the garbage dumpsters plaguing their neighborhoods. Housing Authority had removed individual garbage cans, without consulting the tenants, and had replaced them with large dumpsters, one for every 40 households. The tenants found that the dumpsters attracted rats, flies and other health hazards. SFOP and the tenants began to organize and started working with City officials, including Mayor Dianne Feinstein, who ordered Housing Authority to return individual trash cans to the tenants. SFOP and the tenants had their first victory and a taste of the power of putting their values of faith and American democracy into action!
"A New Vision: Integrity and Justice for All" was the theme of the founding convention of SFOP at Everett Middle School, on May 15, 1983. There were 1,200 delegates representing 19 churches, 3 synagogues, 12 labor unions, and Citizen's Action League. The purpose of the convention was to elect its first officers and vote on 7 resolutions for implementation. The Reverend Arelious Walker, Pastor of True Hope Church in the Bayview, was elected SFOP's first president. He summed up the work of SFOP as being a "voice for the voiceless and an arm for the clout-less." The resolutions read like an agenda, with goals for the present and well into the future: safe neighborhoods, jobs for youth, affordable homes for low income people in the future Mission Bay, protection of immigrants, the rights of workers to organize, and fight against PG&E's rate hikes. All the resolutions passed and the delegates confirmed their commitment to solve these problems by lighting a candle in the menorah after voting for each resolution.
"What a model to the world," keynote speaker, Archbishop John R, Quinn said to the delegates of the founding convention, referring to SFOP's distinctive work model: collaboration with others, non-violence and a focus on human dignity. Representing Feinstein was Deputy Mayor Hadley Roff, who described the convention as "a magnificent and impressive coalition" and "A formidable force that will have to be dealt with at City Hall." "Clearly", he continued, "You will be heard! We will keep the doors open and work with you." (SF Chronicle and The Examiner: May 16, 1983)
Later in 1983, with Rev. Don Stahlhut as the director, SFOP joined the PICO National Network. With this move, SFOP began to focus its energy entirely on organizing faith institutions, working occasionally in partnership with local labor groups. From 1983 to 2009, the motto of the first convention, "The New Vision: Integrity and Justice for All," has still been a driving force and inspiration for SFOP members. Integrity and justice have endured the test of time and have acquired concrete names and meanings in the numerous campaigns including ones focused on expanding health care, increasing safety in neighborhoods, building more affordable housing, and more recently (beginning in 2000) on improving San Francisco's public schools and protecting local immigrant families. "A City for All " has become SFOP's battle cry expressing leaders desire to insure that all San Francisco residents are able to thrive in a city that respects their right to live with dignity and with ample opportunity. Looking forward to the next 25 years, SFOP will remain true to its roots.

Hello everyone,
I am an animator working to stablish a game studio. For this reason I've been struggling with things like modeling and texturing which I don't completely understand as much as animation.
I was attracted to zbrush because of its fast and relatively easy interface. I normally work with Maya as my main 3d tool... as I assume most of you reading this thread do as well.
I wanted to make a single thread to compile some info on how to use zbrush on the specific maya situation.
The questions:
Im working with Unreal 2004 engine... Does it work if I model low poly in maya (only because the model is already made otherwise I would try zbrush for this as well) and then move it to zbrush for texturing using Projection Master... WHAT EXACTLY DO I NEED TO EXPORT BACK TO MAYA? and is it good or bad idea to use this kind of projection for game engines like unreal?Taking into account that this time i dont want to render it just animate it to export into Unreal.

Exploring the Potential Effects of Organic Production on Contracting in American Agribusiness
Organic production, while still a niche market in U.S. agriculture, is growing at a rapid rate. This paper argues that organic producers, particularly those seeking certification to sell at the retail level, share many characteristics with conventional producers who opt for contracting over independence. These include yield risk, search and transaction costs, and technological changes. Depending on the rate at which federal assistance programs grow and evolve to serve organic producers, contracting may become a popular choice within the organic sector. In turn, contracting may come to cover a significantly larger share of agricultural production as the organic sector continues to grow.

In March of 1999 Steve and Sandy Peterson felt they were alone when their son Mitchell was diagnosed with one of the most common and lethal forms of muscular dystrophy. Duchenne MD affects approximately 1 in 3,500 boys and 20,000 babies born each year
Fast forward 15 years later and the Petersons feel anything but alone– especially on the third weekend of every August when thousands of people converge into downtown Rockford to run, walk, volunteer and cheer for Mitchell's Run thru Rockford 5K. It has more than doubled in size and scope since it was established in 1999. This year they are approaching a total of nearly $800,000 raised which all has been donated in Mitchell's name to Parent Project MD, a non-profit organization founded in 1994 by parents of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. PPMD (www.parentprojectmd.org) is dedicated to research and finding viable treatment and a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
"My wife and I are honored to have the continual support of so many individuals these past fifteen years." notes Steve Peterson. "More people now know about Duchenne MD because of this event. It's important that we raise awareness about this disease because it can happen in any family and currently affects many boys and their families here in West Michigan."
"We are really excited for our 15th year," added Sandy. We're making some changes this year to create a better experience for all. We've changed the location for our pre-registered race packet pick-up to Wolverine World Wide's Footwear Depot in downtown Rockford which is held the night before the race,"
This year's event sponsored by Wolverine World Wide and Meijer takes place on Saturday August 17th, at 8:30 a.m. The Kids for Kids K starts at 9:30a.m.. This is a competitive race but also a family event featuring a silent auction during and award ceremony following the races. For more race details visit www.mitchellsrun.org.

On Thursday November 14, 2013 the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) announced the first set of grants awarded from their Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund (Gulf Fund) for projects in each of the five Gulf States impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. NFWF is awarding six projects in Florida totaling $15.7 million to address high priority conservation needs. The projects, are designed to remedy harm or reduce the risk of future harm to natural resources that were affected by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This award represents the initial obligation of funds from the first disbursements received by the Gulf Fund.
NFWF requested timely proposals for this first set of projects for efficient implementation through the Gulf Fund. The projects awarded were selected from those submitted through the DEP portal and also met the terms of the plea agreement, had well-defined and measurable objectives and outcomes, and met one or more of the state's five criteria.

Is milk really good for you?
29/02/2012 , 1:33 PM by Ivy Bateman
"Milk and wheat are staples of the Western diet, yet there is good evidence that they are responsible for many common health problems."
That's a quote from 'Good Health in the 21st Century' written by Dr Carole Hungerford – a GP working in NSW.
"Milk is promoted as a natural food. But once an industry becomes as big as dairy in the Western world, any semblance of 'natural' departs…
Nowadays, the typical dairy cow can no longer be drained of her milk supply by her own calf…
She is prone to mastitis, and is frequently dosed with antibiotics that pass into the milk."
Dr Hungerford spoke Annabelle Homer on Late Afternoons recently – listen to part of what she had to say.

Plotting a star map
Dear All,
I have the coordinates (RA and Decl) of some stars and nebulae in a small
part of the celestial sphere and want to plot them as a star map. What
projection method should I use? Does Mathematica has a standard package for
doing it (just like that for the geo-data)? How do specify the boundary of
the plot.

but if your realy that dumb mix 2/3 aluminam paint with 1/3 minral spirits or more whatever you like
but if your realy that dumb mix 2/3 aluminam paint with 1/3 minral spirits or more whatever you like
you suck...... but i do to so its cool.
there are differences between ghetto krink and real krink... real krink flows more like ink than like paint, and im not 100% sure what he uses to make it... for me, i just make ghetto krink though (2/3 paint, 1/3 thinner) because it's all i need... if you want to buy real krink, try www.**************.com
you can achieve almost the same effect without having to buy or make your own krink. get a bucket of tremclad aluminum colored paint, rack anything that you would want to use as your pen. usually the container that will eventually become your marker will already be filled with another substance. empty and wash it and let it dry for a bit. drop a small pebble or anything small but heavy into the marker (this will become your mixing ball) then just fill the marker with the paint untill its almost full. now before you close that marker you must do one more thing. in most cases these markers will have a flow control device inside the nib ( usually a small piece of plastic with a timy hole wich does not alow to much of whatever used to be in the marker flow exesively) this device defeats the purpose of "drips" and it will not give you a nice paint flow because paint is thicker. simply remove this plastic piece of shit. now skrew the nib back on tightly and before you start pressing the nib to get ink into it, simply take a small knife or pen or sharp pencil and poke a few holes in the nib. this will make the ink go right through the nib and cause drips. now get the ink flowing in the nib and go tag it up :P
i usually do this because i am to lazy to get thinner lol
hey i jst baught a montana mini wide 30mm
and whats up wiyth the water base ink that shit sucks
any way i just filled with a cupple .oz of rusto matalic finish and a cupple of drips of paint thonner way to drippy but beter than water base

[QUOTE]Drunk all the alchohol to lessen the chance of the kids
workin on this shoe polish mop liket that but the nib is a flat triangle i would post a pic but i cant find it right now
i use a shoe polish marker filled with a mixure of rust-olum thinner and brake fluid. but iuse the nib it came with it and it leaves streaks and not a solid line. i tryed chalk eraser but it does the same thing
From here on nothing goes down unless im involved, no black jack,no dope deals,no nothing.A nickle bag is sold in the park, i want in, you guys got fat while everybody starved by the street .Its My Turn.
I just made a kinda novel marker but it actually turned out real nice, I got a mini mag light, too the battiers and everything out and screwed the bottom on, its rubber sealed so its nearly imposiible to leak, than do your basic nib installation in the top and the top of the flash light the light part will fit right over your nib if you take the light out, now you have a perfect, non leakable totally hidden marker...good mess
oka..this my verison of makin a marker..can't explain it to make it seem easy, so i took some time and took a few snap shots..here it is..

(.1) Your going to need these Items to prepare making this.
(.2) Take a film canester.
(.3) Cut a small hole in the cap of the film canester.
(.4) Tear off some eraser nib. (I cut mines in half. You'll see why.)

(.5) Take those two eraser nibs. Stick em' in together inside the cap. Leave some space at the nib or else you won't be writing much. Take some super glue, glue in between the nibs and press em' together. You can also glue some on the side edges.
(.6) Oka. Then you get your electrical tape (black tape) and tightly tape the bottom part of the cap so ink or w/e doesn't leak out. Then tape part of the nib TIGHTLY with the cap. So to keep excess leak out.
THERE YOU GO! I'd of course practice with water first because most likely it's going to leak. So yeah, have fUN! Hope I this helps. Paycee
Your just mad cause you didn't think of my dumb idea in the first place.

i heard somewhere to make it about the consistency of milk?
help me out
we get the message loud and clear, we refuse to live in fear
some one else posted this, is there any thing else you can add that gives your marker a shadow when buffed exepet 'brake fluid' or 'cod liver capsuals'
try takin a bingo dabber then fill it with some tremclad bucket paint then use a combo of nail polishes (best to use matalics) then some thininer but im not givvin away my seacret ingredient(makes it mad permanent) that all i can tell u
time 4 me 2 put in a little bit of a dark recipe...

1. your gonna need a pack of ELMERS Squeeze n' Brush wasable paint markers. you can find them at like any fred meyers. walmart. arts n' crafts store...
2. once you have them take off the tip and take off the seal.
3. dump out that washable paint crap. clean it out with water and dump out the water and put the cap back on.
4. get some ink and put it in it
5. go tagging

Any stepper motor tutorial that doesn't teach that there are unipolar and bipolar motors is mostly empty. Even more so when you carry both types.
I can understand you want to make a QUICKstart guide. But based on forum threads on stepper motor product pages, I can see most people have problem matching motors and drivers that you distribute. So we need a "selection guide" as much as we need a quickstart guide that explain neither motor types or driving current (or the mismatch between voltage rating of a motor and the voltage actually used to drive it through some driver).
Adding a warning that a stepper driver must not be disconnected while powered would be wise. Do you really expect readers to read the details of the driver if you give them a quickstart guide?
Have a look there: Jones on Stepping Motors
Details please. How long will it source 700mA at 5.5VDC? Battery is 2000mAh, but which voltage?
From charger datasheet, we can infer its a single cell. Output is 5.5v, so we can infer it has a boost circuit. Where is the datasheet? What is the efficiency of said circuit?
Because I'd prefer a "1000mAh battery pack with 90% efficient boost circuit" over a "2000mAh with 40% efficient boost", even if it looks less beefy…
To potential customers… do not assume this will give you 2 * 3.7/(0.7 * 5.5)=1.9 hours while draining 700mA.
No public wish lists :(

Occupy Wall Street Anthology Takes Manhattan
Occupy Wall Street Publishes its first Poetry Anthology
According to editor Stephen Boyer, the first ever Occupy Wall Street Poetry Anthology is nearly complete. In celebration, a reading will be held at the Jefferson Market Library in Manhattan on Saturday, April 14th from 2-5pm.
For the month of April the library is hosting an exhibition of poems from the anthology on its walls. Inspired by the energy of the People's Library that once existed in Zuccotti park, the Poetry Anthology represents the next phase of the Occupy Movement itself—to be visible in neighborhoods and to publish.
Boyer notes that there has been much interest in this historic debut. Articles have appeared at the Huffington Post, The New York art blog Hyper Allergic and the San Francisco Center for the Book, with more to follow.
Like everything else in the Occupy Movement, the anthology is being self-funded. If you support Occupy Wall Street and would like to help see this project completed, please consider donating to the indiegogo campaign.

Re: Can I make this shape?
Looking up pentagon in the index directs one to the package:
v = Vertices[Pentagon];
Show[Graphics[{RGBColor[0, 0, 1], Polygon[v]}], AspectRatio -> 1];
If you want to rotate it there is another package:
v = Simplify[Rotate2D[#,3Pi/10,{0,0}]& /@ v];
(* this uses exact numbers for "perfect" pentagon *)
(* rotation is faster if you use approximate numbers. *)
(* v = Rotate2D[#, N[3Pi/10],{0.,0.}]& /@ v; *)
Show[Graphics[{RGBColor[0, 0, 1], Polygon[v]}], AspectRatio -> 1];

I had the best sleep last night! Ahhhhh....it's been days since I've slept well. I feel like a new person!!
When we got back last night, I unloaded everything and did a few loads of laundry. I was too tired to deal with dinner so we had the rest of the leftover pizza:
I had a small slice of cheese pizza as well.
When I got out of bed this morning (7:45AM - thank you children!) I brewed some coffee and did some more laundry, had my freezer fixed, finished setting up my new computer and had breakfast.....the rest of the Trader Joe's Strawberry O's cereal with almond milk:
I did more laundry, took a shower and caught up on email. Lunch was a slice of the leftover meatloaf I made for the Big Bear trip, egg noodles and peas:
Mmmm.....I love that meatloaf. I had a chocolate chip, oatmeal, raisin and peanut butter cookie for dessert:
And that's all so far on this glorious New Year's Eve. We don't have any plans this year which is fine with me. I'm pooped from all this travel anyway. You know what I like about New Year's Eve? You can say "Happy New Year" to anyone and not be afraid to offend someone for religious/etc. reasons. :)

Looking for tickets?
Unfortunately this product doesn't qualify for MEERKAT MOVIES or a toy.
Buy your home or car insurance or switch energy with us to qualify for 2 for 1 cinema tickets*.
There are two pretty safe bets when it comes to car breakdowns – they'll happen at the most inconvenient times and more often than not in the most inconvenient places. That's when breakdown cover comes into its own. Not only will it give you peace of mind any time you're on the road, but it could you get back on the road when disaster strikes. And it doesn't matter what kind of vehicle you drive as there are policies that cover car, van, motorbikes and scooters. You can even add it to your existing insurance in many cases.
There are also many types of breakdown cover available, from roadside assistance and recovery to onward travel. You can get help outside your home or, if travelling further afield, safeguard yourself throughout Europe with EU cover. And these packages can be bought separately or bundled together according to your needs.
Want to know what kind of cover is best for you? Read on…
What are the different typesof breakdown cover?
Two things about your fuel tank
Fuel problems are amongst the top 10 reasons for car breakdowns.
What to do immediately after a breakdown
We do appreciate that questions about breakdown cover prices are a little too boring to be asked, but they can be thought.
So we've compiled the following simple answers to questions frequently thought, about finding the best quote when comparing breakdown cover.
From roadside assistance to onward travel to EU cover we can help find you a cheap deal.
We help you compare breakdown providers and show you an impartial, easy-to-read list of your prices.
Filter your results by policy type to find the most suitable cover for your car and a great value price.
Its super simple to compare your breakdown cover options. We just need an idea of how old your vehicle is and some basic details about you.
If you've just bought a new car, you may want to check whether your dealership included any breakdown cover. If you get cover included, it's worth checking the level and make sure you have everything you may need such as cover in the EU.
What level of cover is right for you will of course depend on your individual circumstances. This is particularly true if you own a modern car with digital parts that require attention at a garage.
There are five main levels of breakdown cover. They can be bought separately but tend to be bundled together.
Roadside assistance. This is the most basic form of breakdown cover. This is when a recovery vehicle comes to where you have broken down and tries to fix it by the side of the road. If they can't, it's then taken to a destination of your choice within a 10 mile radius of where you've broken down (normally a garage).
Roadside recovery. This cover is the same as roadside assistance, but you get to pick the destination you're taken to, anywhere in the UK.
Onward travel. This includes a means of continuing your journey. For example, some policies provide a replacement car while yours is at the garage, some offer reimbursement of public transport costs, and some even cover a night's accommodation and medical assistance.
At home. This type of policy covers you if your car breaks down at your property or within a quarter mile radius of your house.
EU cover. This policy tends to include all of the other levels of cover, but is also applicable while you're abroad in the EU. Specific details will vary from policy to policy though, so be sure to check you've got all the information.
It's also worth remembering that all of these policies can be tied to you, no matter what car you drive (known as 'personal cover'), or tied to a vehicle, no matter who drives it (known as 'vehicle cover').
Using your breakdown cover policy is simple and stress free.
Firstly, be prepared. It's useful to keep a printed copy of your policy details in your car or downloaded to your phone. Then, if your car breaks down, all you need to do is call your breakdown provider. They will take down the details of where you are and roughly what the problem is, and then send a mechanic out to you.
Depending on the nature of the problem, and your level of cover, the mechanic will either fix the issue there and then or send you and your vehicle to a nearby garage.
Comparing breakdown quotes is easy with our comparison service. It's simply a matter of choosing the right options.
What do you want to cover?
Where do you want to cover it?
Which type of cover do you want?
Choosing the right breakdown cover brings great peace of mind, whatever you drive, whenever you want, 365 days a year. Compare today at comparethemarket.com.

Hal Holbrook
Listening to Hal Holbrook in a phone interview, it's easy to think that Mark Twain might still be alive, even if you've never talked to Twain in person.
We're having the conversation because the accomplished American actor is bringing "Mark Twain Tonight" back to Washington. The show will be at the National Theatre April 4 to 5, perhaps in the nick of time, and with the star, once again, burning with a passion for the part.
In rumpled whitish hair and a white suit, Holbrook has been doing his one-man show for years, going back to 1954, when the Cleveland, Ohio, native first performed the role at Lock Haven State Teachers College in Pennsylvania.
Ed Sullivan put Holbrook-Twain on his show in 1956, and Holbrook made it to Off-Broadway in 1959. He performed the role again in a production at the New York World's Fair in 1964 and 1965. In 1966, "Mark Twain Tonight" went to Broadway for the first (but not the last), and the following year it was presented on CBS. Holbrook won an Emmy. He would return to Broadway and continue to tour with the show.
Holbrook said he has performed as Mark Twain more than 2,000 times over 60 years of his life. There is a very good chance that he never performed it the same way twice, so rich is the material, so endless is Holbrook's love for the man and the part. He is 88 years old now, and you have to ask: Why do you do it?
"Why do I do it?" Hobrook said. "Why, because it keeps me alive, man. It keeps me alive. It makes my blood run. It makes my heart beat faster every time I do it. It keeps you young and interested and curious and passionate. It's hard sometimes. I do all my own research, I change the material a lot. Sometimes, you never know where it exactly goes. He did the same thing you know. That's what he became, Mark Twain on the road, on tours, talking about America, God, politics, greed, the big business guys. Nothing has changed."
"I can't wait to get to Washington, let me tell you," he said. "I can't wait. I don't have to change a thing. I don't have to update him. He's as current as all get-out. We've got the same things going on, the gap between rich and poor, the intolerance of the zealots." "He speaks to me, you know," Holbrook said. The voice was garrulous, rich in timbre. "I don't mean literally, I mean in terms of what he says. He speaks to all of us. Because he does what other people don't do: He tells the truth. That's what always separated him from everybody else, it's why he was funny. Because he's not just a comedian. He tells the truth and the truth is always funny, to begin with, because you hardly ever hear it. So people laugh, but they also listen."
"When I first starting doing him, I was trying to figure out how to survive on stage by myself," he said. "That seemed to be the hardest part. I wanted to get the laughs then. Now, well, I need to do it, because it's worthwhile. Plus, there aren't that many good parts for a guy my age any more."
Maybe. But he seems to find them or, anyway, they find him. He had an Oscar nomination for supporting actor in 2008 for "Into the Wild." He was in Spielberg's "Lincoln" and the well-received "Promised Land" last year. He works. You guess he needs to work for the sake of it.
Twain did the same thing. He did it to make money, for sure, and he had created this Mark Twain character. Moreover, he was both a great American novelist – "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is still being banned after all these years – and a great and mordant observer of American mores. "Shaw called him the American Voltaire," Holbrook offered.
Holbrook, of course, is in the pantheon of fine American actors, with an ability to play memorable roles on stage, in films and on television. He was a villainous foil to Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry," playing a law-and-order zealot. He was the wise broker to Charlie Sheen's hustler in "Wall Street." He portrayed an assistant secretary of state on "The West Wing," appeared on the popular sitcom "Evening Shade" and played Dixie Carter's swain on "Designing Women."
That was a part he played in real life, also. She was the enduring love of his life. They married in 1984. Both he and Carter appeared at the Shakespeare Theatre Company, Holbrook as Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice," Carter giving remarkable performances in two plays by Oscar Wilde.
"She was an original, and I loved her dearly," he said. "She had courage, intelligence, talent, humor and grace and a remarkable capacity for forgiveness, for which I was grateful."
Carter passed away in 2010.
Twain saved some of his sharpest jibes for politicians, as in the famous: "Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress . . . but I repeat myself."
"I can't wait to unleash Twain on Washington," Holbrook said. For sure, we could use a dose of Twain, and the presence of Hal Holbrook, too.

dcrane wrote:so the lil' Baltimore Heater your finding to be better, easier, more efficient than the Golden Bride? how about the differences in heat output of each (ability to heat your home?) You may have touched on it already but this thread is so crazy large its easier for me just to ask
In fact the Golden is a super ""little"" base burner. Having a 9.5" fire pot is a different "Learning Curve" than when having larger ones. Sometimes the anth tend to jam at the bottom of the magazine, not very often but sometimes. Probably not when no liner in and having the full 12" fire pot?
The grate system is better on the Golden than on the Sunny cause the outer ring prevent any bridging of the ash and the center prismatic ones do the center cleaning. Needs less shaking movements than the Sunny. (I plan some modif on the Sunny grate on the next shut-down
Both are very efficient but the small golden is sitting in a 10 X 16 F, so the best one for a so small place.
On the other side, the Baltimore Heater heats the rest of the house, almost 2,000 Sqf. very easily. In fact if I got the Sunny before the Golden, I wouldn't have buy the small one. The lil' Baltimore as you said is a very serious heater and can do a nice job, just needs a special installation and mine was exactly made for it, the Sunny loves that faux-foyer much more than the Vigll.

Three keys for Stanford in today's Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio:
1. Be yourself: The Cardinal got to this point by doing what they do best -- dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and playing hard-nosed, power football. Offensively, it's power left, power right, rinse, repeat. Once that's been established on offense, the middle is usually nice and open for tight end Zach Ertz on the play-action passes. Sure, there may be a wrinkle or two, and offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton might window dress a couple of things. But in the end, the Cardinal should feed Stepfan Taylor 20-25 times and let him do what he's done exceptionally well for the past three seasons. Defensively, it's stop the run first and foremost. That presents a challenge, considering Wisconsin is led by Montee Ball, the Doak Walker award winner, who rushed for 1,730 yards and 21 touchdowns.
2. The Hogan factor: What Kevin Hogan has brought to the Stanford offense is the ability to make plays with his legs and move the pocket. While Taylor will get plenty of touches, Hogan's feet enable the Cardinal to run more bootlegs and a read-option package that keeps defenses guessing. He won't be the centerpiece of the running game -- nor should he be with Taylor and a capable stable backing him up. But don't be surprised to see a handful of designed runs for Hogan. Plus, if something isn't there downfield, you'll probably see a few runs by Hogan that aren't by design. He's proven to be an apt scrambler and has a knack for picking up first downs.
3. Penetrate: One of the things that makes Stanford's front seven so talented is that it can usually get pressure with just four defenders, which frees up the linebackers to either create tackles for a loss, sacks or wreak general havoc in the backfield. Plus, if the Cardinal are able to get penetration early without sending extra blitzers, it opens up the defensive playbook later in the game for stunts and blitzes that the Badgers haven't seen yet. Stanford leads the nation with 56 sacks, which is the most of any team since the NCAA started keeping it as a team record in 2005. The less they can do without getting too exotic early, the better off they are. But if that four-man rush is established, the occasional blitz should keep the Badgers off balance.

Last night I decided it was finally time that I gave my Mom some cuddles.
Iv'e been wanting to for some time now but had been holding back, sleeping on the floor on her side of the bed purring and purring but just not able to make that final hurdle to the bed .
Well last night when mom got into bed and under the covers I finally made "the leap" Ohhhhh, IT'S nice UP HERE... The covers are all soft and sqooshie. It feels so good to flex my dainty little paws on the comforter.
Mommy didn't yell at me even though my little claws were putting little holes in the comforter, She just sighed as I curled up next to her and started my rumble of a purr . I think I like this "bed thing" Tommorrow night I'm gonna come up and see mommy again if she will let me!
Happy Purrs, Tiffany Blue Sunshine
I guess it's about time I made an entry in my diary.
Iv'e been back at home with my mommy amd daddy now since just before the holiday they call Christmas. Also I don't have to call them Fostermommy and Fosterdaddy anymore They said just Mommy and Daddy are fine with them. I'm glad cuz it's just fine with me too!
It seems like it was so long ago that I was here with Ellie Mae , Merlin(adopted and now his name is Pepper) Tiger (adopted and now her name is Millie)
It was really good to come back home and see Sophie.
We always got along really well.
There's a new cat that wasn't here before, her name is Charlita. I remember her from out in the woods when we lived there.
She hasn't changed a bit.She's still a major pain in the patootie!
She's calmed down a little bit with me though and we get along most of the time. Mom's even caught us cuddling a few times.
I sure am glad to be away from the "crazy cat lady" at the Petsmart.
And back with my Mommy and Daddy in my FURREVER HOME!
Later, Tiffany Blue Sunshine

Guadalajara have not had much luck in their two Herbalife World Football Challenge matches thus far.
They fell 3-0 to Real Madrid in their first tilt, and on Thursday, in their second match of the tournament, Chivas were beaten 1-0 by Italian giants Juventus. Still, the Rojiblancos have felt far from losers.
"As far as the results, we haven't done very well. We lost against Real Madrid and today against Juventus," said Guadalajara manager José Luis Real after the match. "[But] it is an amazing experience that we will take advantage from. When we lose against these teams, we are also winning a lot. This will definitely boost morale because we are gaining an amazing experience."
Against Juventus, Guadalajara were hard done by one lone error. In the 12th minute, defender Johnny Magallón slipped as he tried to clear the ball, allowing Juventus forward Fabio Quagliarella to swoop in and finish beyond goalie Luis Ernesto Míchel and inside the far post.
Salvo the goal, Chivas went toe-to-toe against the storied Bianconeri, nearly equalizing proceedings in the 80th minute, when Jorge Mora crashed a powerful free kick on the upright.
"I believe we dominated the first half and we lost because of a terrible mistake in the back," said Chivas forward Alberto Medina. "At the same time, we kept on trying and the only thing we missed was the goal."
The match against Juventus also saw the professional debuts of Chivas' quartet of Mexico U-17 World Cup winners Carlos Fierro, Luis Solorio, Giovani Casillas and José Tostado.
"The Under-17s, we were waiting for the right moment to let them play and we were very happy with the way they played today," Real said.
Chivas will now return to Guadalajara to kick off their Apertura 2011 home opener against Jaguares on Sunday. After winning their season opener last weekend and putting up a respectable performance against Juventus, Chivas hope they can beat Jaguares to enter their WFC match against Barcelona on Aug. 3 (8 pm ET; ESPN2, Galavisión) with momentum on their side.
"We've had very good games in the Mexican league as well as in this tournament," said midfielder Edgar Mejía. "We need to have the same consistency that we've had in league play because, besides the results, we've played very good games [in WFC]."

The Lakes Golf Course at Laura S. Walker
The Lakes features a natural beauty rare in golf courses today. Steve Burns' golf design was able to preserve much of that beauty by using native sand for the many traps and waste areas. Greens are undulating rather than tiered. Each fairway and landing area is defined with gentle, links-style mounds that accent the courses three large lakes. So natural is the course - and so close to the Okefenokee Swamp - that it's not uncommon to see an alligator roaming the waterways. What better incentive to keep the ball in the fairway?

text: I have recently purchased a 2000 Catera and after doing the first oil change I noticed my oil light was on. It seems to have a small leak. I will replace it again tomorrow with a new o-ring but was wondering if there is some way I can convert this to a spin on filter? The oil filter cap came off fairly easy-The whole canister is not supposed to be removed is it? I can only assume the o-ring is pinched-there is just a tiny leak but my oil pressure gauge is on. Is there some secret to installing these? Thanks for the help!! So far I like this car! Am I supposed to change the timing chain at some interval? I just turned over 70000 miles.

Better to terminate bathroom vent through roof or exterior wall?
I have the option of doing either one for my bathroom remodel. If all things are the same, is one better than the other? Obviously shorter duct runs are best, but if the duct runs are the same length does one offer better performance for the fan?
Doesn't really matter, but all things being equal I would think a horizontal vent would be preferable (less chance of a water leak).
In our area, many bathroom vents are terminated in the eaves of the house, or ducted 6' or so above the roof joists (i.e. they do not penetrate to the outside).
A vent that is not run all the way to the outside of a home is useless. And would never pass in my area.
Out the wall with the line ever so slightly sloped toward the where it exits would be best. Less chance of the moisture condencing and dripping back in the room.
12 Attachment(s)
For what its worth, I always go out the gable when possible, only because I don't want any issues with water leakage. I learned this throughout my years, "there is no such thing as a good hole in a roof" :)

I was born in Pittsburgh, PA, the second of three children (older brother, younger sister). My dad worked in the steel industry, so we moved around some: Bensenville, IL (that's outside of Chicago), Boardman, OH (that's outside of Youngstown). I finished high school in Wexford, PA (that's outside of Pittsburgh). I went to college in Irving, TX (that's outside of Dallas), then lived right smack-dab in the center of Vienna, Austria for two years (Fulbright Teaching Assistantship). Home is now on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. I've also lived at various times on the Greek Islands and in Rome.
Always loved books and reading. When we lived in Ohio, one of the biggest events of the year in our family was the big book sale at our local church. We didn't have a lot of money, but books were one thing my parents never said 'no' to. We'd load up on books at the sale in April, and bring them in June by the carload (our car was literally loaded with books) to a fishing cabin in Wisconsin we rented. No TV, no radio. Just fishing and reading and poking around in the woods. Good stuff.
I've had a couple of art classes here and there, but mostly I'm self-taught. I studied literature in college, but there wasn't much writing involved... so I'm really completely unqualified to do what I do.
You can see a complete list of my books through a link on the Books page.

All You Did Was Just Loving Me - Poem by Jo Hanna Erk
All you did was JUST LOVING ME
BY: Jo E
I've ignored you putting each nail in every part of you.
I've cut your heart so many times.
You tried to get my attention but all i did is push you aside
You tried to touch my heart and all i did is put a wall so thick
You tried to make me open up to the one i love but all i would do is be silent and close up even more
You gave me friends to which i can talk to too, but i ignored them
I pushed you so far that i cant reach you from the length of my arm.
You seem to be miles and miles away or maybe not?
Thinking that you would not now what I'm feeling, but you do
You tried to comfort me but i would not let you get close to me
You tried to draw me close to you but i turned around and went the other way
You gave me my family and all i did to them was hurt them
In chapel at my school so that i would hear your word but all i did is shut you off.
You tried everything but i the ignorant, angry, cold girl would not let you.
Thinking you would not understand to what i was going through.
You tried everything but you would not give up till you got my attention.
You would not give up on me till you had me in your palm of your hands.
Each punch i gave you was into your heart. Each anger i gave to you was a pain in your heat. Each screams that i gave you in your ear was a sad music to him. Each hurting words drove you more to Loving me. Each hatefulness that i gave you, you took it in. Each slap i gave to you in the face. But all of this was nothing to you it made you Love Me More.
All you did is look at me with your eyes so so tender.
All you did is try to get my attention
All you did was LOVING ME
All you did is out of Love.
You let me scream at you but all you do is look at me with such love
You let me get angry at you but all you do is look at my heart and see the hurt that i have in me.
You let me say awful things about you, but what you say about me is just something like music to me.
You let me slap you in the face but all you did is look me in the eyes and say I LOVE YOU with your beautiful eyes
How can you love me when i would just cut deep wounds into your heart?
Because I LOVE YOU
How can you love me when i would say awful things about you?
Because I LOVE YOU
How can you love me when I'm so angry at you?
Because I LOVE YOU
How can you love when all i do is slap you in the face?
Because I LOVE YOU
How can you love me the way I'm treating you?
Because I LOVE YOU
I'll LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Ripping roof off, rain protection?
I'll have framers come in to rip my roof off and build a vault. What should I do about rain protection? Should I have them include tarping in the price? Or is that something they just do if there's a threat of rain? I'd hate to have a bunch of water damage in my lower level.
Have THEM provide proof of insurance in case of any damages.
I see. It's the framers responsibility to keep the interior dry during demo and reconstruction. Just want to be sure I'm asking for the right stuff.
