Celebrating Strong Women by Making Women Strong
Did you know today is International Women's Day? Did you know that each year this organization holds a different theme? This year's theme for International Women's Day is Make It Happen.
Good stuff, I live for this kind of stuff. LOVE IT!
Make It Happen is pretty much my mantra for every day. I hope it is for yours. I found my strength through exercise and so many other women have found this as well. It still gets me going to see a woman make just the smallest tweak to her form and increase strength and be able to bust out one more kick, punch or repetition.
When we first opened our flagship 9Round store, we didn't quite know what to expect. What we definitely did NOT expect was how many women were flocking to our doors! Turns out, women love this kickboxing fitness stuff!
Women like being able to go at their own pace when they're in a fitness facility.
They like being able to come in to start their workout whenever their schedule allows for it, rather than a planned class time. Are women busier than men? I would go out on a limb and say, YES. Shhh. Don't tell the boys.
Women also like the lower lights we have in our 9Round Fitness clubs. Hey, be honest, florescent lighting isn't the most flattering. Low light hides a multitude of imperfections!
Lastly, women like 9Round Kickboxing Fitness because IT WORKS! Being able to be happier with your body AFTER KIDS than you were B.K. (before kids), is something that many women think is a myth.
Personally, I used to believe you had to have a private trainer in your home and a personal chef, (like a celebrity!) in order to get fit after a baby. Honestly, I didn't lose all my "baby weight" until after we opened 9Round. But, my first "baby" was 7 years old at that time! Haha. Ok, so you can't claim it as baby weight after that long. I thought I was doomed to have that extra fluff forever. The bottom line was, I wasn't doing the right kind of exercise to lose those stubborn last pounds.
There are many women who haven't even had kids and still want to lose weight or tone up and feel sexier in their clothes. Of course, the process is the same. Get in, get your 30 minutes done, and get on with your leaner life!
Besides empowering yourself physically, you should amp up your inner strength as well. Focus on slowing down and engaging more with your kids, spouse and friends. Don't roll your eyes the next time your husband loses his keys. Smile and hand and them to him. You'll unknowingly make him feel more valuable and accepted and you'll argue less. Find ways to do random acts of kindness. Practice patience. Buy cute tank tops to sleep in and throw away your ratty old t shirt. Count to 10 when you're angered….(or 20!)
Read while you sip hot tea at night. I've made this my new routine at night. I don't watch a ton of TV, but I have some shows I love and usually record and watch later. But, I found that if I watch TV first to "wind down" I never can seem to wind back up to absorb knowledge from a book! Reading requires a certain level of alertness that I don't seem to have after 9:30 pm. I like my new nightly routine. After the kids are officially in bed I read various things for at least 30-45 minutes before anything else.
In the morning, focus on positive thoughts before you leave the house for 3 minutes every morning. Don't have 3 minutes of quiet in the morning? No worries, you're normal. Just wait until you get to your job and pull in the parking lot. Sit there for 3 minutes alone and listen to a positive guided message or just simply BE, before you go in the door.
Just remembering to breathe deeply 3-5 times multiple times throughout the day is a simple practice that is life changing. We tend to hunch our shoulders and take shallow breaths all day, especially when we are stressed or really focused. Once an hour, stand up, stretch for 30 seconds and breathe really deeply. This floods oxytocin into your brain and body. It's a wonderful feeling.
Sometimes in our 9Round Corp office, we like to do the "9Round Minute." It's easy and it's something you can start in your own office. Pick a simple exercise that you can do in the clothes that you wear to work. If you wear heels, slide them off for this. Push-ups and squats or lunges are the most practical moves. Do as many as you can for just one minute and go back to work. Guaranteed: you won't be able to do this without smiling at your coworkers. Once the initial weirdness of, "Are we really going to do this at work?" goes away, and everyone drops their major adult mentality and admits that they WANT to move at work like a kid for just one minute, everyone can enjoy it and it will definitely increase the productivity of what you were doing prior to that. Be a woman who uplifts wherever she goes.
There are so many ways that women have changed and improved the world. Men are just as noteworthy. This is a world where "each of us needs all of us." I truly believe that and am happy to see the world is shifting towards more equality across the globe whether it's in relation to gender or ethnicity. If you want to read more about International Women's Day, you can get inspired on more ways to "Make It Happen" here. http://bit.ly/1GZyrLy
Remember, making it happen is in your control. Successful people aren't people who haven't had anything stand in their way. They are those whom had those hurdles and said, "OK, how will I get over this one?" That is their "go to" mentality. I hope it is yours also!
Keep making it happen ladies! You are incredible. XOXO
-Heather "The Hero" Hudson

Anybody know any specifics of Lincoln's injury other than no fractures? Not that I am not very thankful for his seemingly positive status (it was the first time I have ever prayed watching a football game), but I wonder if by some chance he may not be able to go next week.
Remember we had to cut our roster down to 60 players for the playoffs so we are even more short handed than normal.

Where to find long narrow (2" square) bread or pullman pans?
Has anyone here seen long narrow pullman pans of the sort that produce 2" x 2" by about 12" (or longer) loaves available anywhere? You see loaves like this for european rye breads at the store, so I know somebody makes them! I just can't seem to find them online anywhere...

Public Proxy Servers
Free Proxies Since 2002
Public Proxy Servers is a free and independent proxy checking system. Our service helps you to protect your identity and bypass surfing restrictions since 2002.
Unlike developers of other checkers we are completely independent, i.e.: 1) we do not offer paid listing to owners, 2) we do not require a link back on listed websites, 3) we do not own any proxies. This allowed us to focus on technical aspects and develop a truely unique and innovative checking engine. The best checking engine available today. Unlike all other websites PublicProxyServers.com provides proxy list solely based on quality parameters of proxy servers (access time, life time, functionality, etc).
What is a proxy server?
During a HTTP connection, the IP address of the client machine is necessarily transmitted in order to get the information back. This allows a server to identify the source of the web request. Any resource you access can gather personal information about you through your unique IP address - your ID in the Internet. They can monitor your reading interests, spy upon you and log your requests for third parties. Also, owners of the Internet resources may impose some restrictions on users from certain countries or geographical regions.
An anonymous proxy server acts as a middleman between your browser and an end server. Instead of contacting the end server directly to get a web page, the browser contacts the proxy server, which forwards the request on to the end server. When the end server replies, the proxy server sends the reply to the browser. No direct communication occurs between the client and the destination server, therefore it appears as if the HTTP request originated from the intermediate server. The only way to trace the connection to the originating client would be to access the logs on the proxy server (if it keeps any). So an anonymous proxy server can protect your identity by stripping a request of all identifying information.
Pic 2. A "middleman" between your browser and an end server.
Another common use of anonymous proxies is to access sites which are normally blocked by your upstream ISP. For instance, proxies are often used by people to access sites which have been censored by their companies, organizations or governments.
A web proxy is a type of proxy server that works through a web form. Instead of configuring the address of the server in the browser as is done for HTTP or SOCKS proxies, you simply navigate to the home page of the web proxy. Web proxies hide users identity from the sites they visit, keep cookies at their site, and delete them after each session and selectively remove scripts, images, etc.
To use a web proxy all you have to do is to visit its home page, enter a web address in a small form and hit "Go". It makes all of your requests on your behalf, so the website you are viewing only sees the IP address and information of the web proxy, not yours. Web proxies support HTTP and sometimes HTTPS and FTP protocols. There are many proxies available, some are free, some require a low monthly or one-time fee for use, and some are for private groups or parties.
Other Solutions
HideMyAss VPN - anonymizer with plenty of features. Effective for personal use, when your Internet activities are not involved in website development, mass form submitting, etc. The best solution for most of the Internet users. Ultimate protection of privacy - nobody can find out where you are engaged in surfing. Blocks all methods of tracking. Provides an encrypted connection for all forms of browsing, including HTTP, news, mail, and the especially vulnerable chat protocols. Comes with special totally preconfigured software.

During a conference call with L.A.-based reporters, LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena stated that he does not expect midfielder Christian Wilhelmsson or forward Chad Barrett back for the 2013 season.
Wilhelmsson made nine appearances for the Galaxy in regular season and postseason play, tallying one goal and one assist. The Swedish midfielder was not at present at the club's championship celebration on Monday to tend to his pregnant wife Oksana in Sweden.
"I don't expect Wilhelmsson to be back," said Arena on Wednesday. "He has other options that he wants to look at."
Meanwhile, Barrett was among the six players -- Brian Perk, Bryan Jordan, Kyle Nakazawa, Pat Noonan, Andrew Boyens being the others -- who were made available for the Re-Entry Draft process. Arena stated that Barrett, who has been on loan with Norwegian club Valerenga since late-July would not return, but the door remained open for the other five players made available for the Re-Entry Draft.
"We will not be re-signing Barrett for sure," said Arena. "The others, we will remain in conversation with and see if we can work it out with them. My advice to a number of them is to go through the first phase of the Re-Entry Draft positions you to be in a more favorable position in all honesty."
Arena also confirmed that he anticipates that some players that were made available for the Re-Entry Draft process may pull out of the draft before the Thursday deadline at 2 p.m. PT.

You can get dizzy trying to figure out the various formulas for revenue sharing and the luxury tax, but some things are givens. There will always be some teams willing to spend because the objective is to win.
There will also be some teams not willing to spend and find comfort in using their small market status to free load off the big spenders because they are still making money. Pittsburgh and Kansas City have been notorious for using their revenue sharing income not to reinvest in players but to pay their electric bill.
I'm tired of hearing about small market – which should really read small revenue market teams – not fielding competitive teams because of the market they play in. It is inexcusable for a team such as the Pirates to have 20 straight losing seasons. How can the Orioles have 14 losing years playing in a gem of a ballpark like Camden Yards? Seems incomprehensible.
How Bud Selig can allow this is beyond reason. Also crazy is penalizing teams that go over the limit to take away draft choices. It stands to reason that a team having fewer draft picks will compensate with more spending in trying to build.
I've never been for revenue sharing because it promotes free loading, but the system is not likely to go away. If they are insistent on such a system, the receiving teams should be required to spend a designated percentage on player salaries. And, while we're at it, there should be a minimum amount a team MUST spend on payroll.

First Tennessee Bank's parent company is not yet in a position to report how many of its employees have accepted or will be accepting a voluntary buyout package the company offered last month to about 400 employees.
But so far, it's looking like First Horizon National Corp. will accomplish its goal of getting at least 40 to 80 employees of that 400 or so as takers.
The company sent out letters in October to the approximately 400 employees targeted who work in "non-customer facing" areas – so, in places like finance and human resources. First Horizon's expense ratio (basically total expenses divided by total revenue) is still higher than the company would like, and one way to whittle that down is cost savings on the personnel side.
The company's efficiency ratio in the third quarter was about 78 percent, meaning the company essentially spends 78 cents for every dollar it makes.
"What I will say right now is this: We have communicated to the Street a $50 million cost save," said John Daniel, First Horizon's chief human resources officer. "That's the latest cost save goal we've communicated to analysts.
"What we needed (from the buyout program) was something that would give us significant momentum to that $50 million. And I would say that the program is going to be very successful. In other words, enough people are going to take it."
The company is viewing the buyouts as a creative attempt to improve the health of its balance sheet by using a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer. To be sure, widespread layoffs are the norm in the industry right now, with Reuters reporting in recent days that major banks have announced nearly 160,000 job cuts since the beginning of 2011.
Some context about the Reuters numbers: the job cuts were more pronounced outside of the United States. Also, Reuters noted the figure may be overly conservative, as smaller banks and brokers cut staff or close.
Meanwhile, all of that comes in large part because profit margins are getting squeezed from all sides, via such things as the higher cost of regulatory compliance and the low interest rate environment.
First Horizon, the parent of the largest bank based in Tennessee, is in the midst of broad cost savings and performance improvement targets. It's in an effort to demonstrate sustained profitability to analysts and investors and that the bank can successfully remake itself into a leaner, more narrowly focused operation than the sprawling, multi-state financial supermarket it was during the boom years.
"Most of the people accepting the buyout package so far are doing it with pretty positive feelings," Daniel said. "They're not looking forward to leaving the company. But they understand the challenge the company has, the cost save goal we have to get to in these non-customer facing areas, and they thought this was a fair and generous way to make this transition as smooth as possible.
Daniel added that all 400 or so employees aren't necessarily at risk for seeing their job terminated. The company, he said, did not expect or need all 400 people to leave.
Regarding its recent overall performance, Memphis-based First Horizon reported a $26 million profit in the third quarter and improved profitability in its regional banking and capital markets businesses. Still, the company's results missed Wall Street's expectations.

So then I wondered if my non-start gets logged somewhere as null points, and a VERY long time ?
The reason for this is that I notice I nearly always complete the quiz quicker than the AVERAGE time, but slower than the MEAN time, which suggests to me that a few excessively long times are skewing the average - maybe these could be people failing to complete the quiz? None of this really matters: I've no complaints about my scores (well, they're lower than I would like, but that's another story!) - I'm just curious.
Excellent question! I thought I knew the answer but decided to look at the code, anyway. The code always tells the truth. :-)
Here's what the code tells me:
PROCEDURE submit_saved_answers (comp_event_id_in IN INTEGER)
l_comp_event qdb_comp_events%ROWTYPE
:= one_comp_event (comp_event_id_in);
l_competition qdb_competitions%ROWTYPE;
l_answer_closed BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
/* Assign an end date to all answers for which there is at
least one saved answer. */
FOR rec
IN (SELECT DISTINCT eva.compev_answer_id, eva.user_id
FROM qdb_compev_answers eva, qdb_quiz_results qr
WHERE eva.compev_answer_id =
AND eva.comp_event_id = comp_event_id_in
AND eva.ended_on IS NULL)
UPDATE qdb_compev_answers eva
SET ended_on =
qdb_player_mgr.user_end_time (
WHERE eva.compev_answer_id = rec.compev_answer_id;
END submit_saved_answers;
Look, a comment! I proudly proclaim in my trainings that my code is self-documenting, requiring no comments. But I am glad I broke my pledge here.

Arthur Negus Fuller's (1879-1945) confident use of high-keyed color and energetic lines suggest a maturity of technique. The asymmetrical composition and the particular shade of blue in this print are reminiscent of Japanese prints, which the artist collected in the early 20th century. Arthur was the youngest son of George and Agnes (Higginson) Fuller of Deerfield, Massachusetts. In 1915, Arthur purchased the Little Brown House and studio barn on Albany Road. That same year, Fuller began printing monotypes. In 1919, he bought a printing press with his brother, Henry, for their shared Boston studio, and in 1920, they bought a second press for their studio at the Little Brown House. Arthur's first intaglio etchings date from this time. His earliest intaglio, or colored, etchings were printed with a single pass through the press. Fuller accomplished this by first inking the lines on the copper plate, wiping off the excess, then lightly daubing ink where he wanted color, using the tip of a twisted cloth, à la poupée. Consequently, each intaglio print in an edition is slightly differently from the next

Thought Sauce
We are a new, small software/web development company in Hong Kong.
The culture of the company is young, casual and fun but serious about doing great work. If you are aware of 37signals and Hashrocket then they will give you a good idea of where we are aiming in terms of culture.
Some buzzwords about us (don't worry about them too much though): Agile, craftmanship.
No specific target audience.
There are few requirements with this one, but we're expecting it to consist of:
- A logo
- The words "Thought Sauce" should be included somewhere but can be separate from the main logo.
We do not have any defined colors at the moment. If the logo can be used with multiple color schemes then I guess that would be a bonus.
The logo will be used for the company branding so will need to look good on business cards, letterheads and of course the interweb thing.

Designer aus der ganzen Welt reichen kreative Designs für judd426 in Logo Design - custom ein.
SIMR (Surfing Is My Religion) is an action sports company that lives with enthusiasm and passion; our logo needs to reflect that. We are looking for something edgy but appealing to the eye. Check out the rest of the brief for specifics. NEW Details added - read post on message board.
SIMR is an action sports/lifestyle company aimed at inspiring enthusiasts to take action outside of their sport and channel their drive and passion towards being a positive influence in society and a champion for the environment. Our physical goods are a combination of high-quality clothing, soulful custom surfboard designs and practical sporting accessories; however, the product we are truly selling is a life philosophy. Our team of athletes and artists will lead this charge by setting an example in their various spheres of influence as they perform their trade.
We are not looking for a cookie cutter "corporate" logo. If you can't think outside of the box then this competition is not for you. Our company and clients live on the edge and live for adventure. Our logo has to reflect that enthusiasm.
Since our company covers many sports, we don't want the logo to be specific to one group. For instance, we are primarily a surf company and make custom boards, but we dont want all the logo submissions to be a surfer riding a wave, etc.
This logo will be seen everywhere in our company, on our website, in our clothing line, in our surf board designs, on stickers, at competitions, etc. It has to be a versatile design that can look good in all of these settings.
We have not chosen a color scheme yet, so thats up to you.
We are a growing company with many graphic design needs. If we find one or several designers that we like, it could be an opportunity for more work down the road.
Thanks for your time, good luck!

Easy Barbecued Apricot Pork Ribs
During the summer months Bruce and I fire up the barbecue nearly every weekend. Chicken, steaks and ribs are the usual fare. Chicken is my favorite and pork ribs are Bruce's favorite. Sometimes, if I feel like it, I'll make both. Any leftovers from a Sunday afternoon barbecue makes some of the best lunches during the work week.
Okay, now that I have your attention, (and this is directed to all you "barbecue purists" out there) don't laugh and don't turn your nose up at this. Seriously… I know that the sauce is not made from scratch however, my adaptation of a store bought barbecue sauce makes these ribs taste deliciously easy. In my opinion, the combination of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce and apricot preserves makes an amazingly tasty sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. Trust me. Without a doubt, once you try it, I'm quite sure that you'll want to make these ribs again. Enjoy! Tessa
- 2 racks pork ribs
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1 cup store bought barbecue sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's but use whatever you prefer)
- salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Wash and trim pork ribs and pat dry. Put ribs on foil lined baking sheet. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Tightly cover ribs with additional foil. Place in oven for 2 hours or until ribs are very tender. Preheat barbecue grill. In a small bowl mix together the apricot preserves and store bought barbecue sauce. Place ribs on medium high barbecue and mop ribs liberally with the sauce. Ribs are done when you get a desired char. The ribs should only take about 10-15 minutes on the BBQ. Serves 4 – 6. Enjoy!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
According to a new world-wide survey, one in four adults are "deeply infected with anti-Semitic attitudes." That is the conclusion of the Anti-Defamation League's extraordinary new global survey.
The survey included 53,100 adults from 102 countries representing 88% of the world's adult population.
People responded true or false to typical anti-Semitic statements in their native language, such as "Jews have too much power over international markets, global media, and the U.S. government," or "Jews don't care about what happens to anyone but their own kind," and "Jews are responsible for most of the world's wars."
An estimated 1.1 billion people said that at least six of the anti-Semitic stereotypes were probably true. That means that 26% of the world's population, or one in every four adults in the world today still embrace traditional anti-Semitic sentiments.
"For the first time we have a real sense of how pervasive and persistent anti-Semitism is today around the world," ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said in a statement. "The data enables us to look beyond anti-Semitic incidents and rhetoric and quantify the prevalence of anti-Semitic attitudes across the globe. We can now identify hotspots, as well as countries and regions of the world where hatred of Jews is essentially nonexistent."
The three countries with the lowest anti-Semitism Index Scores are Laos (0.2%), the Philippines (3%) and Sweden (4%).
In the United States, 9% of respondents believed a majority of the anti-Semitic statements.
The highest levels come from the Palestinian-controlled territories at 93% and Iraq at 92%. Overall in the Middle East and North Africa 74% of the population hold to anti-Semitic stereotypes. Yet in Iran, surprisingly, 56% of the population responded negatively towards the Jews.
The three countries outside the Middle East and North Africa with the highest anti-Semitism Index Scores are Greece (69%), Malaysia (61%) and Armenia (58%). In Eastern Europe, one in three still think the Jews are responsible for most of the world's problems.
Here's an interesting fact: 18% of respondents believe that the total worldwide Jewish population exceeds 700 million people! The actual number of Jewish people in the world is just over 13 million! Obviously, people who overestimate the world's Jewish population by this amount were also much more likely to harbor anti-Semitic attitudes.
Among people familiar with all the religions tested in the survey, more are unfavorable toward Jews (35%) than toward people of any other religion.
Where you get your news also matters, especially in the Muslim world. Muslims who get their information about Jews from the internet are much more likely to harbor anti-Semitic views than those who get their information from other sources. Average Index Scores by information source among Muslims: Internet 73%, Religious leaders 54%, TV 54%, Newspapers 49%, word of mouth 40%.
People in predominantly English-speaking countries are half as likely to hold anti-Semitic views (13% Index Score) as the overall global population surveyed.
Chillingly, 74% of the people surveyed said they've never met a Jewish person, including the people who believe a majority of the anti-Semitic stereotypes are probably true.

Kanye West Criticized for Performing in Kazakhstan
Kanye West is under fire from an international human rights group for his performance Saturday (Sept. 1) at a wedding reception for the grandson of Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
The Human Rights Foundation has criticized Yeezy for performing in Kazakhstan, which has a notorious reputation for violating human rights.
"Kazakhstan is a human rights wasteland," Thor Halvorssen, president of the HRF said Tuesday in a statement (via WSJ's Speakeasy). "The regime crushes freedom of speech and association; someone like Kanye, who makes a living expressing his views, would find himself in a prison under Nazarbayev's rule. This particular dictator's ruthless behavior includes kidnapping the families of dissidents to his rule and abusing judicial systems across the world in persecuting his opponents."
The group compares West's show to a performance by Jennifer Lopez earlier this summer in Turkmenistan, a country that has also been censured for human rights violations. J.Lo has since apologized for her appearance.
The 'Blood on the Leaves' rapper was reportedly paid $3 million for his performance and took photos with guests at the reception afterward.
Halvorssen believes West's gig undermines his own charities and commitment to the arts and humanities.
"It was a very strong debut, but the money paid to him was looted from the government of Kazakhstan," he said. "Kanye West is legitimizing these people. He has been very loud about his charity work, so this case is ironic."
West's rep had no comment on the matter.

Stanford guard/forward Anthony Brown will need surgery on his hip in the coming weeks and thus will miss the rest of the season, coach Johnny Dawkins announced.
For Brown, a 6-6 junior from Fountain Valley, Calif., it's a congenital problem. He had surgery on the other hip last year.
"We are all hoping that Anthony's surgery goes well and wish him a speedy recovery," Dawkins said. "Anthony has played an important role for our team throughout his career and we expected him to be significant contributor once again this season. I have no doubt Anthony will work hard to come back even stronger.
"Of course, we'll miss him, but I'm excited about the kids who are stepping up."
Brown was averaging 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game. Dawkins said the school would seek a medical redshirt for Brown, and if granted he will have two years of eligibility remaining once healthy.
In other Stanford injury news, guard Aaron Bright has missed four consecutive games after spraining his ankle in practice Nov. 19. Dawkins isn't sure he'll be ready for Sunday afternoon's home game against Denver.

A "First Class" Start
Creative writing teachers will tell you that bad experiences make for good stories. It's true.
And I've had my share. The "wisdom" behind posts like Tips For If You Miss Your Flight usually comes from really stupid things I've done while traveling — like missing my flight because I'm sitting at the wrong gate or I'm waiting at the gate for a plane that's going where I need to go and I think it's my flight but, oh, it's not my airline. I've slept overnight in airport lounges enough times to feel like a supporting cast member in Tom Hank's movie The Terminal.
But every once in a while an experience falls into your lap that's too good not to share.
Thanks to my uncle who trains pilots for a major airline, I was flying "non-rev" from Dallas, Texas to Norfolk, Virginia. Flying non-rev is a gamble: sometimes you don't get a seat and get bumped to the next available flight, sometimes you manage to slip into the last seat available on the plane, usually a middle seat. And sometimes — blessed times — you get to fly First Class.
Yesterday was one of those blessed days. As I sat there in my luxuriously roomy seat watching the other passengers go by, I was trying to look sufficiently calm and composed on the outside while I was doing a happy dance on the inside. Thank you, Uncle Robert, thank you, thank you for your choice to work for the airline and support your family members' addiction to travel. You are my hero.
I've already described in detail the pleasures of flying First Class, and how humbling it is to be given this gift through no merit of my own, symbolic in a way of that Other great gift we've been given through no merit of our own. So I'll limit this post to describing what I had for lunch at 30,000 feet: grilled shrimp and cheesy grits. And they were surprisingly good.
This writers' retreat week is off to a great start. Bring it on, Lord. I'm ready.

Tanzania: Renewable energy powers water supply and irrigation system
Lake Victoria, located in Tanzania's north, offers enough water for agricultural irrigation but local communities lack financial resources and adequate technologies to take advantage of it. Instead, they rely on rain-fed agriculture in the area, where rainfall is scarce and variable from season to season. As a result, they do not produce enough crops to address food and income poverty.
The same challenges, along with additional uncertainties caused by climate change, impact the life of communities in the Chanyauru region, on the southeastern shore of Lake Victoria. These communities suffer from a lack of safe drinking water and food shortages. UNDP's CWI is working with a community organization as well as local government to construct a dual purpose water supply system for irrigation and for domestic water use, powered by solar panels. Villagers were trained in the operation and maintenance of the system and a 'water fund' was established to cover maintenance costs.
The project benefited at least 1,000 villagers. It has improved food security, increased income generation through the sale of higher value crops and provided employment opportunity for young people. Immediate access to water for domestic purposes has also lessened the women's water fetching burden, and eliminated the danger of crocodile attacks on women who in the past would draw water from the open lake. Statistics from the local dispensary show a decline in water borne diseases by as much as 75 percent, which is attributed to the increased availability of water and water treatment. Awareness raising and training in the use of organic fertilizers, as well as proper tillage methods to avoid soil erosion and siltation, have improved the lake water quality for drinking water purposes.
This successful project concept has been replicated, with the support of Government and church organizations, by other local communities in the region.

Would you recommend buying off of ebay?
Arduino original board is so expensive. I want to purchase one from ebay because the price is much lower. However as the guy above said it must be fake. I bet it must came from China which is the biggest manufacturing country in the world. Then i prefer to choose one with brand even if it came from China for the good price and support.
...shows that they use their own brand name and not Arduino.

For this recipe, I made the dough from scratch. But you can easily use readily available bread (which again, I have tried). They are basically bread cups filled with vegetables. And since they look cuter than a sandwich, (which is basically the same thing in a different form) both me & my brother enjoy eating them. They can be served as appetizers or for an evening snack. And the filling can be whatever you want it to be. I decided to let cucumber dominate the dish this time. :)
(Print this recipe)
Makes 10 cups
For the bread cup
All purpose flour / wheat flour - 150 grams
Dry Yeast - 3/4 teaspoon
Sugar - 1/2 teaspoon
Water - 80 ml
Salt - to taste
Oil - 2-3 tablespoons
Cup molds
For the filling
Cucumber - 2, chopped finely
Onion - 1, chopped (optional)
Tomato ketchup/sauce - as required
Cheese - 2 tablespoons or as required
Oregano - as required, optional
To make the bread cups
1) Add sugar to warm water & mix till it dissolves.
2) Add yeast & mix for 1 minute. Set aside for 5 min. It will turn frothy.
3) In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt, oil & mix.
4) Add yeast-water & knead for 10 minutes to form a soft dough. Set aside for 30 minutes or until it doubles up in size.
5) Apply oil to the cupcake molds
6) Pinch of a small ball of dough & roll it 1/2 inch thick
1) Apply sauce to the bread cups.
2) place a spoonful of chopped onions. Then top it with a bit of grated cheese & then sauce again.
3) Place some chopped cucumbers next & again repeat the process of sauce & cheese.
4) Depending upon the size of your cups, keep filling.the cups it they are full. Finish with some oregano & cheese
5) Bake for 8 minutes @ 180C or Microwave them for 3-4 minutes at full power.
- With your fingers, stick a slice of bread (edges removed) to the cup.
- Fill it with the filling of your choice
- Bake at 180C for 8-10 minutes

NARS Cadaques Multiple Tint
NARS Cadaques Multiple Tint
Perfect for Perfect Skin
NARS Cadaques Multiple Tint ($38 for 0.52 oz.) is a fantastic barely-there flush if you have naturally lovely skin. If your skin has enough imperfections where you tend to use foundation or powder for coverage, the new Multiple Tints just don't seem to be worthwhile. I swatched all three of the Multiple Tints at Nordstrom a few weeks ago, but I also tested Cadaques at home.
The staying power of Cadaques is excellent–really lasts all day and then some. It's not heavy or greasy once it finally dries down, but it took at least fifteen minutes before it seemed to settle on the skin. I experienced this issue with drying when I swatched them on my arm, too–imagine holding your arm away from your beige shirt for twenty minutes! Personally, this is a total deal-breaker for me, because the last thing I want to do is add another fifteen minutes to my makeup routine.
It layers best directly onto skin, and the best application method is straight from the tube, because the product is very sheer. It gave my medium skin a nice, subtle flush without a fuss, but it did not seem to be buildable other than that initial flush. The application wasn't as smooth or as even when applied over foundation (even liquid), and it seemed kind of gross (to me) to smear the stick on top of foundation, too.
This is kind of where the perfect skin bit kicks in — it's best on natural skin, but it's so subtle, layering foundation on top, even lightly, nearly covers up all the blush. I also found that the staying power definitely lived up to expectations when applied directly to skin, but on top of foundation, it seemed to fade by mid-day. It really is just better over the skin rather than over foundation. If you rock the no-foundation look often and like gel-like blushes, I think the Multiple Tints may be up your alley.
I found the texture of them to be almost watery/slippery on the surface, even though they're completely solid. You get plenty of product, but these are actually incredibly reminiscent of Tarte's Cheek Stains ($30 for 1 oz. — nearly double the product for a little less). The subtle raspberry pink of Cadaques will complement cooler skin tones beautifully, but it is not so cool that it doesn't work just as well as warmer skin tones. It has a soft sheen that's not oily or greasy-looking, and if I have another good skin week, I'll definitely give this another go.
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ! 🙂
- Product: 25/30
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
RECOMMENDATION: If you don't wear foundation often and want a subtle flush for cheeks that doesn't fade during the day, NARS' Multiple Tints were made for you!

Ken Dulaney, a Gartner analyst has divulged to the iPod Observer that Apple may have already placed an order for 10 million 3G iPhones. Mr. Dulaney is aware of this based on the rumors he his following in Asia.
Mr. Delany also goes on to speculate that the 3G iPhone will also use organic LED's allowing the device to be thinner and have a lower consumption. This comes just days off of Kevin Rose's declaration that the 3G iPhone will have a built-in forward facing camera, possibly for video chatting via an iChat like client.
Will we see a new iPhone in a "few months"? My bet is the announcement will have to be at the WWDC this June.

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — Officials have approved a deal to build a new $672 million stadium for the Atlanta Braves outside the Georgia capital.
The Cobb County commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday night to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the baseball team.
Braves officials stunned local leaders earlier this month when they announced they would abandon Turner Field, a site just south of downtown Atlanta that has been their home since the team moved from Milwaukee in 1966.
The 30-year deal calls for hundreds of millions of dollars in public money to help pay for the stadium and entertainment complex.
Officials plan to fund it with a mix of reallocated existing property tax revenue and new taxes on business and tourism in the area.

On my recent visit to Hawaii, I had the honor of seeing the famous Kamehameha Statue in Honolulu. It is right across the street from 'Iolani Palace which is the only royal palace in the United States. It is featured in the opening of every episode of Hawaii Five-O. However, this statue is just one of four copies.
The different copies:
1. The original statue was commisioned in 1878 and created in Florence, Italy. It was lost in a wreck near the Falkland Islands and later recovered. It now stands at the king's birthplace of Kapa'au in Kohala, on the island of Hawaii.
2. The second statue is the famous one in Honolulu. It was commisioned when the first one was feared lost.
3. Hawaii became a part of the United States after voters there overwhelmingly voted to join the American Union in 1959. A third statue was commisioned and placed near the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. in 1969.
4. A fourth version of the statue is near downtown Hilo at the north end of the Wailoa State Recreation area.
As a young man, Kamehameha had a dream of uniting Hawaii under one ruler. He visualized this person as himself and he was successful. He conquered the various kingdoms then in existence in the Hawaiian Islands and imposed his own rule. Not surprisingly, there are mixed views on the legacy of Kamehameha today. It is only appropriate that there are multiple copies of his statue around America today. I am pleased to have seen the most famous of these statues.

David's Landscape Company
This is the first time I have used this service. I own a small landscape company and have been in business for 5 years. We have never advertised and currently we don't have any signage on our vehicles.
We have four employees and they are all college students who are very well groomed and very polite. We wear matching golf shirts and shorts. We are the best dressed landscapers in town by far and we keep our equipment new and clean. We look like we could be on the golf course. We mainly mow, mulch, plant and maintain.
We work with a company and maintain about 30 rental properties. We also have 15 more homes from $100,000 to $500,000 (Median home price in Dayton is $120,000)
I am trying to target customers that really care about their home looking perfect. They pay for the best that is available. They care about privacy, security and when we are doing work at their homes their neighbors will notice how professional we look and work.
My website is helpusdave.com (The website has old colors and company name)
The companys name is David's Landscape Company. It could be David's Landscape Co. I have included pictures of the golf shirts that we wear. I would like to use those colors for the logo. I know they are not traditionally used for a landscape company and that is what I like. A few words that come to mind is elegant, professional, simple, not dated looking. I have also included a picture of our mowing truck and trailer. I want to be able to have vinyl done for both truck and trailer. I want it for the website and business cards. I need vector format.
I am open to creative ideas. I will get on every evening after work and give feed back. Thank you in advance for everyones creativity.
It's appreciated!

We can be fooled by imagination, for example, when we blindly follow the literalism of religious dogma; and, we can find transcendence, for example, through the insights of a particularly good novel or from a sudden revelation that solves a problem on which we have been working for months. I think of James Watson's dream of intertwined snakes that helped him to conceptualize the structure of DNA. The imagination never sleeps, but on occasion it seems to work especially well when we do.
Even my cat seems to be able to imagine the future, that is, one without enough food. He is constantly seeking to have his bowl filled when there is already plenty of food in it. And, yet he maintains his trim figure and never eats more than he needs. Does he imagine that I might leave him for too long and that he might run out of food even though that's never actually happened? Surely, many of us have seen dogs and even cats who appear to be dreaming. Muffled barks and howls come out of their mouths as they doze. Are they in some primitive way imagining or reimagining the world?
Is our ability to imagine the future somehow instinctual and thus a survival mechanism, albeit an imperfect one? If so, the question is, survival for whom and in what way? There are many levels of survival: individual survival; the survival of our family, our friends, our community, or our nation--in other words, our various tribal affiliations; and then there is the survival of the human species. The imagination can work for survival on any of these levels.
When it comes to a sustainable future, the purveyors of techno-optimism, such as Cambridge Energy Research Associates, imagine a future of unlimited prospects. They claim that resources, especially oil, are in much greater supply than the pessimists are saying. What the pessimists can't imagine properly, says CERA, is that humans are so clever that they will be able to extract ever larger amounts of energy from the earth. The energy is out there and we will simply learn to get it. Have faith!
One shouldn't be too quick to dismiss these optimists. A vast army of scientists is working on how to extract the last stores of fossil fuel from the earth, and even on how to make burning them less harmful to the climate. And, they are working on a wide array of alternative energy sources as well.
But one should ask who might benefit from this particular strain of imagination. It is largely the existing winners in the current globalized corporate economy. The techno-optimists conveniently imagine these winners winning more and bigger. Not surprisingly, these winners are often clients or employers. Many of these people will say that they are working for the good of all humankind and perhaps some really are. But can we say that most of them fit into the category of imagination that is in the service of tribal affiliation, in this case one formed around wealth and privilege?
There are also those with a dark apocalyptic imagination who see the limits of the biosphere fast approaching and who note our seeming inability to respond adequately. They predict a world of immense suffering and decline--a collapse, but not necessarily a wipeout for humans, something akin to going back to square one. Often, but not always, such people have deep grievances against the status quo. They find the current system profoundly hurtful or they find that they simply don't fit into the categories generally allowed in the modern world. In one sense, their vision is a method of striking back. In another, it is an attempt to return the world to a rudimentary level that might bring with it the possibility of a more equitable and harmonious society.
Here we have perhaps the inverse of the techno-optimists. But this inverted vision still bears the hallmarks of the tribal imagination since it calls for the radical reordering of one's tribe (that is, community or nation) that would destroy current social relations while opening up new possibilities in the aftermath.
Finally, there are those who imagine a world of smaller communities with localized food production and handicraft powered by sunlight. It would be an intentional world brought about through a methodical transition that avoids outright collapse. It is not necessarily a tech-free world, but one that nevertheless can only afford those technical advancements that require very much less power than we produce today. It is one where political authority is dispersed and therefore localized. It would have the potential but not the certainty of being more democratic.
One could, of course, wish for such an outcome just for one's own community or nation. Perhaps the purest form of this kind of imagination is Jay Hanson's "war socialism." But most who imagine such a future believe that the entire world must be brought into it. It does little good to prepare one's own community for a sustainable future only to have neighboring communities who haven't prepared overrun yours when supplies run short. In this sense this vision transcends tribal boundaries. But is it reasonable to imagine such an outcome? Jay Hanson would say no. We humans are genetically wired to take advantage of others, but especially of those outside our own group in order to get what we need. Our tribal instincts are simply too strong.
William James in his essay "Is Life Worth Living?" (which I've cited before) suggests that even if we cannot beforehand justify our faith in our vision:
It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true. Suppose, for instance, that you are climbing a mountain, and have worked yourself into a position from which the only escape is by a terrible leap. Have faith that you can successfully make it, and your feet are nerved to its accomplishment. But mistrust yourself, and think of all the sweet things you have heard the scientists say of maybes, and you will hesitate so long that, at last, all unstrung and trembling, and launching yourself in a moment of despair, you roll in the abyss. In such a case...the part of wisdom as well as courage is to believe what is in the line of your needs, for only by such belief is the need fulfilled.
Whether they know it not, most of those who imagine a relatively peaceful transition to a world of smaller, sustainable communities have adopted this attitude. And, if there is one thing that imagination makes possible, it is to believe that we are not necessarily limited by our past. We are thereby enabled to imagine a future that is neither merely an extension of present nor a negation of it, but rather an active enterprise in which we can all participate if only we are willing to exercise the imagination to do so.

This year's RG3 suggested Wednesday that he'll look more like last year's RG3 when the Washington Redskins host the Detroit Lions this weekend. With his team opening the season with two bad lo
ASHBURN - Look for Robert Griffin III to start running again.
This year's RG3 suggested Wednesday that he'll look more like last year's RG3 when the Washington Redskins host the Detroit Lions this weekend. With his team opening the season with two bad losses, Griffin figures his legs can provide a spark.
"It's not that I want to run more, I just feel like that's what we need," Griffin said. "If that's what it takes to win games, then I'm willing to do that."
Griffin has carried the ball only nine times for 25 yards in two games, and he's yet to run the ball out of the zone read, the type of play that befuddled defenses and helped him set a rookie QB record with 815 yards rushing a year ago.
Explanations have varied. Griffin and coach Mike Shanahan point out that the offense was forced to abandon its game plans early in both losses because the team fell behind so quickly. Teammates say it's understandable that Griffin is rusty or lacks his usual world-class speed because he didn't play in preseason and is wearing a brace after offseason surgery on his right knee. Griffin has said he would prefer to be known more as a passing quarterback.
But when the season is in danger of falling off the rails in September, it's time to think differently. Griffin, who is a team captain, said on Sunday that he might have to ditch his preferred method of positive reinforcement and lead with a harder edge, but by Wednesday he had decided his speed could speak as loud as his words.
"We just need energy out there on the field, period," Griffin said. "Especially on the road, the crowd's not going to give you any energy, so I take it upon myself to be that guy. I've never been a hype man, but Lil John's a Redskins fan, and you can learn a little bit from him, so I'll be the hype man if they need me to be the hype man.
"I'll get everybody motivated. That's what you've got to do as a quarterback, you've got to motivate guys, you've got to inspire them to go play great. And if you feel like the team doesn't have enough energy at the time, you create that energy, and that's what we're going to do. .... We've just got to get our swagger back."
Asked how he could create more energy, Griffin smiled and raised his palms and said: "Well, I could run more."
"I'm a quarterback," he added. "If I have to create that energy, if I have to spit a rap line in the huddle, sure, whatever, I'll do it."
Griffin said his runs provided a boost for the team last year.
"But the one thing I can't do, and the mistake I can't make, is just to go out there and try to run," he said. "It's not about just going out there and running to prove other people wrong or prove other people right or whatever you want to do. You have to do it when the time arises, and I haven't had those opportunities the first two games, and hopefully I'll get the opportunity in this game and there will be a spark for our team."
There's been no particular campaign among Griffin's teammates for him to run more. If anything, the opposite is true. The team's problems - from dropped passes to missed tackles to silly penalties - go way beyond the performance of the franchise player.
"He just got to playing, man. I mean, this is only like his second preseason game," receiver Santana Moss said. "You're going to go out there and run him crazy?"
Receiver Pierre Garcon agreed that Griffin's injury and rehab has become the "elephant in the room" for the team and that the knee brace would understandably hinder the quarterback.
"It's just like when you have extra equipment on, you definitely can't move as fluid, as fast as you could when you didn't have it on," Garcon said. "It's common sense, really."
Griffin laughed off Garcon's comments.
"I love Pierre. If he wants to race, I'm more than willing to do that," Griffin said. "But Pierre's going to be Pierre. ... I don't feel like (the brace) is holding me back."
Notes: S Brandon Meriweather was fined $42,000 by the NFL for his helmet-first that left Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy with a concussion on Sunday. Meriweather later left the game after suffering a concussion on another helmet-first hit. He is undergoing mandatory concussion tests and participated in some drills during practice Wednesday. ... K Kai Forbath continues to rest his sore groin and won't try to kick again until Friday or Saturday.

When I was at University the Students Union used AV, and one year a man stood for the post of Womens' Officer under the name of "Captain Kirk". Against him were two more conventional candidates standing on the Conservative and Labour platforms.
When the votes were counted Captain Kirk got 49% of the first preference votes, with the Conservative getting 26% and Labour 25%. Under FPTP Kirk would have won, but now the Labour candidate was eliminated and it turned out that all of the people who voted for her first had voted for the other woman as second preference. So now the Conservative candidate had 26%+25%=51% of the vote, and Kirk was defeated.
I'm well aware of the Arrow Impossibility Theorem, which shows that given an election with three or more candidates and three or more voters it is impossible to have a voting system that always delivers the right result, but it seems to me that this is rather like the fact that any programming language is logically equivalent to a Turing Machine; its true, but it doesn't mean that all (voting systems | programming languages) are equally good. FPTP seems particularly prone to perverse outcomes, such as the election of a male Womens' Officer when the majority of the electorate wants a female. Pretty much every election in the UK is a 2-horse-1-pony race, with the Liberal Democrats as the pony, and every election pundits discuss the impact of "tactical voting" as people who would like to elect the Lib Dems instead vote Labour for fear of otherwise "letting the Conservatives in". Under AV they can simply vote Lib Dem first and Labour second.
The anti-AV campaign's arguments seem to come down to:
- It will create more hung parliaments. Possibly. I don't see this as a bad thing. The current coalition seems to be doing OK, and a coalition means that more of the electorate's views get represented in government. Having a government elected by 40% of the people get 100% of the power seems to me rather undemocratic.
- It will empower the National Front. For those who don't know, the National Front (NF) is an extreme right wing racist party, which occasionally does well in poor inner-city areas where the "immigrants are taking your jobs and houses" line gets a sympathetic hearing. But equally, if most people object to the NF on principle then AV makes it much easier to vote against them; just put the NF at the bottom of your list. That ensures that no matter how other people vote, your vote will count against the NF.
- The most popular person doesn't always win. Well yes, if you define "most popular" as "winner under FPTP" then this is true; if AV didn't give a different result sometimes then there wouldn't be any difference. The point about AV is that the candidates with the broadest support tend to win much more often, whereas FPTP is prone to producing winners who most of the electorate actively dislike.
