Earliest possible completion is 2.5 yrs from now with summer classes. 3 years without summer classes. At Georgetown, PT students take 8-11 credits. Special permission/circumstances are required for 12 credits. Georgetown PT is not like the PT at Matthies' law school. This information has been verified by the Director of Admissions at Georgetown.
For what it is worth, and since this is GULC it may be different, but PT students tend to carry a stigma (deserved or not) because although they ultimately complete the same degree they are not put under the same pressure. I know there are going to be a lot of people who disagree, but they take an average of 9 credits a semester compared to 15. The PT students only had 2 exams and LRW 1st semester here at my school. I understand some work and have other commitments, but a lot do not and they were afforded the same amount of time to prepare for 2 finals that we were given for 4. Career services even gave a presentation talking about how unless you need to go PT you shouldn't because employers will want to know why you choose PT. But, again, because you are looking at GULC it may be different and may not have the same effect or stigma attached.
I actually was in a similar boat. I discussed this with numerous professors, counselors, G-town students, and attorney (where I work). Georgetown seems to be somewhat of an outlier because of its size. With close to 700 students in the pt/ft program per graduating class it can be exponentially difficult to stand out to the faculty and while Georgetown can open a lot of doors, the doors can be difficult to discover because of the information gap. In addition you are foregoing your chance to participate in OCI this summer.I don't know what your career goals are but if you are aiming for a clerkship after graduation then you may find it difficult to procure even an interview as you may have a difficult time developing strong enough relationships with professors. I personally refuse to make these sacrifices to join a part time program. I withdrew from GULC part time and requested to be reconsidered for ft only and they granted this request.
Some thoughts...(1) GULC PT has worked to create basically an internal job market in and around DC of select positions that want to hire GULC PT students. Many of these jobs pay $50k or more, meaning more than you might otherwise make after you graduate with a Tier 3 or Tier 4 law degree.(2) Even assuming there is a "stigma" insofar as snobbery of certain full-time students, who cares? If employers don't care, you shouldn't either.(3) The PT choice affects your life for an extra year, whereas the GULC choice affects your professional life forever.(4) PT at GULC is not an add-on created to appease working people. It's the original point of the school, to educate the "men of the government," and the full-time program is the afterthought.(5) Assuming no scholarship and no personal funding to pay for your own expenses in DC, PT is certainly the better option financially.Just my tuppence. I think there certainly should be a stigma attached to any 22-year-old who is not working at all and effectively gaming the system, but those who are working while keeping up the course load, journal and sometimes even a clinic should certainly be respected at least as much as any other GULC student.

The reason why so many points is because of length of this LC.

Pope Francis Allegedly Calls 25-Year-Old Gay Man: 'Your Homosexuality. It Doesn't Matter.'
The Pope's calling us directly now? What's next? House calls?
Gay, French 25-year-old Christophe Trutino says the Pope called him personally in response to a letter Trutino sent asking for guidance in reconciling his faith and his sexuality.
Trutino says the Pope reassured him, though a Vatican spokesperson is now denying the phone call ever occurred after initially issuing a "no comment."
Father Lombardi, a spokesman for the Vatican "firmly denied" claims by the young gay Catholic that the Pope had made a private telephone call to him last week.
After previously declining to deny or confirm the call, in which Christophe Trutino claimed the Pope told him "Your homosexuality doesn't matter" Lombardi told Le Figaro newspaper: "The Pope never called this person."
"The only time the Pope has called France was to speak to Cardinal Barbarin. I absolutely deny this information," he said.
"There is always the risk that people pretend to be the pope over the phone," Lombardi added.
Trutino a 25-year-old sales assistant from Toulouse in the south west of France claimed to have written to the Pope to explain his difficulties in reconciling his sexuality with his faith.
In an interview with La Depeche du Midi Trutino said he received a response at the end of August, in a surpise phone call.
"It was he who started the conversation," Trutino told local newspaper La Dépêche du Midi. " 'He said 'Christopher? It's Pope Francis'. I was unsettled, of course. I asked, " Really? " He replied : "Yes."
"I know it's hard to believe, but it really happened like that. From that moment on , I no longer doubted," said the young Frenchman.
"I received the letter that you sent me. You need to remain courageous and continue to believe and pray and stay good," the voice at the end of the phone told him during the nine-minute conversation in Spanish.
"Your homosexuality. It doesn't matter. One way or another , we are all children of God. This is why we must continue to be good," he continued.
Trutino said the phone call concluded with the person he believed to be the Pope asking the young man to pray for him and that he would do the same in return.
"When I hung up the phone, I was completely filled with emotion," the student told Midi Libre.
"I was shaking. At the same time, the conversation was very relaxed. It was like a call from a friend, nice, very human."
What do you think, Instincters? Did Pope Francis make the call? Is it all a hoax?

Anyone who's ever done something asinine after a breakup, raise your hand. Christ, I can barely see my laptop screen with all of your virtual fingies in my face. Fact is, after we break up with someone, we're just not our best selves. And we do stupid things. We drink; we eat (or don't eat); and we maybe make out with people we definitely otherwise wouldn't. It's a rite of passage. But the difference between people like you and me and Selena Gomez is -- we're not famous. Unless, of course, you are Selena Gomez and you're reading this. In that case: Awks.
After the Grammys last night, Selena was photographed looking what could be construed as worse for wear as she exited an after-party. Gomez looked a little bit dishelved as she scooted past the paparazzi, arms linked with her friend, Alfredo Flores. And this wouldn't be such a big thing if Justin Bieber hadn't supposedly sung about her drinking on Saturday Night Live the night before. Selena, what's going on wichu? Are you all right?
Saturday night, Justin Bieber bestowed his new song unto the world, "Nothing Like Us." The song is rumored to be about Gomez, and in it is the line: "Have you been drinkin'? To take all the pain away ..." And this also comes after the now infamous video of Selena "appearing drunk" during a red carpet interview after the Golden Globes.
Like I said, we've all done dumb things after breakups, and drinking in excess, for some of us, is among those dumb things. But beyond the fact that we get to live in our weird, unhealthy, self-loathing world in a neat, private, little hell, Gomez isn't yet of drinking age -- and young girls look up to her.
Hopefully, I'm wrong, and Selena was really just hopped up on Pixy Stix in the notorious video (Pixy Stix make you slurry, right?), but moreover, hopefully she's not turning to alcohol after her breakup with Justin. That's no way to deal with things when you're young, famous, and millions of girls' idol.
What do you think of this?

Jennifer Garner Gives Birth to Baby Boy!
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are the proud parents of a newborn son!
The 39-year-old actress gave birth to the couple's third child in Santa Monica, Calif., a source tells Us Weekly.
The family's newest addition joins older sisters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3.
"I would have thought [Ben] wanted a boy. At first … I really thought so," Jen, who kept the baby's gender under wraps, told Jay Leno last month.
"And then [Ben] kind of said, 'Well, we have girls. We know how to do girls. My girls love me. I'm the big guy in the house,'" she added. "So, now I'm not sure."
Congrats to the happy family!!!

Hadzabe hunters walking along the shore, Lake Eyasi, Tanzania.
The Hadzabe, or Hadza, are one of the last tribes of hunter-gatherers in the world. They live around Lake Eyasi and the Serengeti Plateau and today, number 1000-2000, although just 300-400 still live a traditional lifestyle. They were once thought to be related to the San of southern Africa, but modern genetic studies link them to the pygmies of west and central Africa...The Hadzabe are superb opportunistic hunter-gatherers. They hunt animals, and collect honey, fruit, tubers and berries for food. They also use a wide variety of plant species for medicinal purposes...The future of the Hadzabe is very uncertain. Their existence is threatened by land encroachment by farmers and herders, lack of game to hunt, diseases including TB and HIV/AIDS and substance abuse.Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Tictok Watches
Tictok Watches is a company selling fashionable funky rubber jelly watches. They come in a number of colours and have a trademark large watch face that makes a strong visual statement.
Our demographic is going to be aimed at both sexes aged from 13 – 30 years old. They are to be worn as a fashionable accessory to their outfit and provide a bit of fun compared to contemporary watches which are metal faced and silver. These watches come in all colours of the rainbow. We want our logo to appear modern and futuristic to support our new style of flexible rubber watches.
The logo for "Tictok" watches needs to appear modern, bright and creative.
I would like to see different designs for the business name "Tictok" and a logo to support it. Being a watch company I guess there could be some clever designs abstracting the design of a clock, watch face or using the letters in the business name such as T or TT for Tictok.
The logo will be appearing on the watch face and would like to have your designs presented in two different options :
1: the logo and business name together and,
2: The logo and business name apart.
This will allow us to use the business name and logo together or separate for various marketing and branding purposes, similar to Nike or Toyota etc.
I would like to also see the logo design presented in a variety of different colour options including white, black, yellow, green, orange, blue, purple etc.
I have been experimenting myself with designs and like a particular font called Vector for the business name. This can be viewed at http://www.dafont.com/velocity.font. Any other fonts can be used and looking forward to seeing some interesting creations.
Unfortunately we won't have a website available until we have our logo, this means I can't show you any watch designs to help with your ideas.
I would like to receive the designs once completed in all forms suitable for my graphic designers for their use.

Mayor Don Wesely today thanked U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey for his efforts to secure federal funding for the proposed Northbridge Center for Children and Youth in Lincoln. The Veterans Administration/Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill approved by the U.S. Senate today includes $1.25 million for the community center, which Cedars Youth Services will operate at North 27th and Holdrege streets. The bill now goes to the U.S. House for approval.
"As a Lincoln native, Senator Kerrey has done so much to give back to his hometown, and this is another addition to his legacy," Wesely said. "This is an extremely important project for families and for the ongoing revitalization of North 27th Street. Cedars Youth Services has done an outstanding job in this community, and this new center will bring their programs to key neighborhoods in the heart of our city."
"This federal funding will make the construction of the new facility possible," said Jim Blue, President and CEO of Cedars Youth Services. "Thanks to Mayor Wesely and Senator Kerrey, this will be a wonderful resource for the children of north central Lincoln."
The construction cost of $1.85 million includes $535,000 from last year's federal budget, $40,000 from McDonald's and $25,000 from the Community Health Endowment. About $600,000 in city Community Development Block Grant funds were allocated for the purchase of the site, just north of the new Police Department Team Station.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been occupied since 4000BCE, making Iran home to the world's oldest continuous civilization.It is located in central Eurasia on two ancient trade routes. One runs North-South and connects the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, the other one goes East-West between China, India, Europe and Africa.There's a city called Isfahan at the intersection of these two routes, which at one time was the wealthiest city in the world. Isfahan was twice the capital of the Persian Empire, during the Median and then Safavid Dynasties.Interesting artifacts from pre-Islamic Persia include the cylinder of Cyrus the Great, which is the world's first written declaration of human rights. The hanging gardens of Babylon (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world) and the Code of Hammurabi (a set of rules which outlast the King) are also on the list.The Persian Empire was so magnificent that returning Crusaders carried tales of its splendor and helped spark the Renaissance in Europe! Influence of the Zoroastrian teachings of equality also inspired Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Socrates.The Persian Empire was conquered by Muslim Arabs around 650CE during the Sassanid Dynasty. Initially the Zoroastrian, Christian and Jewish faiths were tolerated but by 1000CE most Persians had accepted Islam.In the sixteenth century Shi'a Islam was declared in Isfahan to be the national religion of Persia and the second golden age began. From 1500 to 1720 the Safavid Dynasty built the greatest Iranian empire since before the Islamic conquest of Persia.Because of its strategic location and oil resources, World War I found Persia in the middle of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire, Russia and the British Empire-via-India. Persia became Iran as of 1935 and was ruled by the Shah, a Persian term for "monarch."In the Islamic Revolution of 1979 Iran re-established a theocratic government under the Ayatollah Khomeini.Today the capital of Iran is the city of Tehran, and Iran is known as the world's center of Shi'a Islam.Text by Steve Smith.

The Wabash community – faculty, alumni, parents, staff, and friends – turned out in large numbers to welcome the Whites, Phillips, and Griffiths to the College.
Reaction to the new leadership team was overwhelmingly positive. Several members of the Class of 1951, back for their annual Homecoming mini-reunion, had the chance to mingle with the College's senior team. "Wow, we have a great new group" was the reaction of several of those members.

More than 200 professionals from across New York and Ontario are expected to attend the 15th annual Family Violence Intervention Project conference, "Safe at Home: Seeking Solutions for Adult and Child Victims of Family Violence," on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at The Conference & Event Center Niagara Falls. The conference will feature national speakers who train attendees on state-of-the-art techniques to prevent and intervene in cases of child abuse and domestic violence, with the goal of keeping children and families safe.
Of particular note:
•In his 8:45 a.m. keynote address, "The Batterer as Parent," Lundy Bancroft, author and domestic abuse and child maltreatment consultant, will exam the established profile of men who abuse women, describing the power dynamics and the psychologically poisoned atmosphere that an abuser creates for children in his home. Bancroft will look at some of the specific risks to children that tend to be present in the batterer's parenting style, examine the impact the batterer has on the parenting of the abused woman, and confront the myth that the children's problems are solved when their mother leaves the batterer.
Bancroft has authored four books on the topic of family violence, including "Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men," the largest-selling domestic violence book in history.
Bancroft's address will serve as the prelude to two workshops that will address critical issues in the family violence field: "The Battered Woman in Child Custody and Visitation Disputes," and "The Modern Batterer."
•The morning plenary session will feature Robert Hugh Farley, M.S., retired commanding officer of the Cook County Sheriff's Police, Child Exploitation Unit in Chicago. Farley will present "Undercover as a Pedophile: Six Years in Their Shoes," sharing his experiences during an undercover operation. He will follow-up in the afternoon with workshops addressing the role of technology in child sexual abuse and using freehand drawing techniques with victims of abuse to project and describe their experiences, as well as for investigation purposes.
•Afternoon workshops also will be presented by Tamara Hillard, LICSW, owner of True North Counseling and Consulting in Barnstable, Mass., who will discuss the use of trauma focused-cognitive behavioral therapy as a treatment for victims of abuse and the phenomenon "second generation" child sexual abuse victimization; and Erin Clark, MPH, MBA, a representative from Break the Cycle, who will present on teen dating violence and working with teen victims.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Tuesday's conference will honor victims and survivors of domestic violence with a display of the Clothesline Project, a visual display of shirts with graphic messages and illustrations that have been designed by women survivors of violence or by someone who loves a woman who was killed as a result of violence, as well as a reserved empty table for 16, representing and honoring the 16 women who have died as a result of domestic violence in Niagara County since 1994 when these statistics were recorded.
The "Safe at Home: Seeking Solutions for Adult and Child Victims of Family Violence" conference is sponsored by the Niagara County Family Violence Intervention Project, Child Advocacy Center of Niagara and Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. Co-sponsors are the Niagara County Department of Mental Health's Trauma Treatment Specialty Services Division, Catholic Charities of Buffalo - Niagara County Services, the Northeast Regional Child Advocacy Center and Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel.

Look at this truly amazing and thoughtful gift that some of my yoga students got me! It's a magical array of Bean-Centric Delights!!
For about 9-10 years now, I've taught a free weekly yoga class for the teachers and staff at the elementary school in our neighborhood. When we first bought our house, I decided I wanted to do something for our local community/neighborhood, and teaching yoga is what I know! Over the years, some teachers have come and gone, but through it all most of the teachers have really stuck with it, and the class is very dear to my heart. Every year at Christmas, I bring them cookies and cookbooklettes, and they bring me a card and some sort of gift.
I was so deeply touched by their gift. It really shows just how well they know me!! Fancy salts, a beautiful handmade bowl (to eat my beans out of!), FIVE kinds of gourmet specialty beans from Rancho Gordo (world's best beans?!!), and a brand new 100% Bean Book!! So cool. "Bean to Bean" isn't all vegan (or even all veg), but it's loaded with beany recipes, and tons of vegan or vegan-modification recipes, and it looks super exciting. I've already got two meals planned from this book for this week alone - I'll keep you posted.

James Courtland Goodwin
Tuskegee Airman
James (Jim) Courtland Goodwin, of Santa Rosa, passed away on April 14, 2013 due to cardiac arrest. He was 87 years old. He was laid to rest with full military honors, next to his wife Eva, in the Gustine National Cemetery on April 22, 2014. A Celebration of Life will be held for him in the community room at Friends House 684 Benicia Drive, Santa Rosa on September 21, 2013 at 2pm.
Jim was born on November 2, 1925 in Fullerton, California, the oldest son of Lee and Ruby Goodwin's five children. At the height of World War II in 1944, Goodwin joined the Tuskegee Airmen, 332nd Fighter Group, a unit of the Air Force made up of dedicated young men who enlisted to become America's first black military airmen. He was honorably discharged in May of 1946.
Following the war, he went on to University of California Berkeley where he received his undergraduate and law degrees. At Cal he met and then married his lifelong best friend, Harriet (Helene) Goodwin, an incoming freshman and sociologist from Chicago. They had two children, David and Leah. That marriage lasted about seven years.
Then, while clerking for the Supreme Court of California, District Court of Appeals under the late Justices Maurice T. Dooling and Raymond E Peters, he met Eva, a graduate of Oberlin College, who would become his lifelong wife and partner of over 50 years.
He had a career that was dedicated to academia and educational policy, affirmative action, economic and community development. In1965, Jim was assistant director of the Bay Area Neighborhood Development (BAND), a nonprofit foundation. He later became their Executive Director and moved the focus of its programs from consumer education to consumer action and vigorous community and economic development. He pioneered the use of bi-lingual education materials (Spanish/English) for low income consumers; these materials were picked up and distributed nationally. In addition, he served as senior field representative for the Office of Economic Opportunity assigned to rural economic and community development in several sparsely populated areas of California.
From 1966 to 1968, he served as a special consultant in minority staff recruitment for the Peace Corps.
In 1968, when the University of California Berkeley passed an Executive Order to develop affirmative action and equal employment opportunity policy for minorities and women at the nine campuses of the University he was hired to lead the work as Assistant to the Vice President of the University. He was instrumental in obtaining $4,786,810 from the Federal Emergency Employment Act, the California Welfare Reform Act of 1971. As a result the University employed more welfare recipients than any other State entity.
In 1978 he was appointed by the Governor to serve as a Commissioner on the California Public Broadcasting Commission. There he inaugurated a fellowship and chaired a joint funding committee with the California Council for the Humanities. He also funded programs by independent producers in public affairs, the arts and humanities.
On March 29, 2007 the Tuskegee Airmen both living and deceased were recognized for their distinguished service and dedication to the military history of the United States of America and were given the Congressional Gold Medal, the Nation's highest and most distinguished civilian award.
In January of 2009, he traveled with his daughter, Leah, and joined hundreds of Tuskegee Airmen who were invited by President Barack Obama to attend the inauguration of our Nation's first African American President.
Throughout his life Jim found respite in participating in the arts. He especially enjoyed opera, classical music, and theatre. He had a true love of nature, spending time exploring the many trails of the Point Reyes National Seashore. His second home in Inverness was a place for writing, resting and deep contemplation.
Jim spent most of his life as a resident of Berkeley, California. He and Eva retired and later moved to Friend's House, a Quaker community in Santa Rosa. There they spent their last years painting, walking, listening to music and connecting with many new friends.

2006 4x4 of the YearPosted in Events on February 1, 2006

Nissan Xterra Off-Road V-6
Suzuki Grand Vitara
The Scores and Previous Winners
The 2006 4x4 of the Year is ...
If every car dealership in the country had an off-road test track, you wouldn't have to read this story. If every new four-wheel-drive vehicle came with a six-speed transmission, three low-range ratios, front and rear lockers, and 35-inch mud tires, you could toss this issue in your reading room and go out and wheel. But since neither of those things are going to happen in 2006, you better pay attention - especially if you're in the market for a new 4x4.
Every year we, your trusty off-road experts, assemble a field of the latest and greatest four-wheel-drive hardware to pit them against one another in the most grueling off-road test in the industry. It's not a battle to the death, but there are always some casualties. To be eligible for our evaluation, each vehicle must be all-new, or have major mechanical revisions that will make it perform significantly better off-road. Every vehicle must have at least a two-speed transfer case, have a planned production of no less than 2,500 units, and must be on the dealer lots by January 15, 2006. If a 4x4 meets all of our terms and the manufacturers can provide us with a suitable test vehicle in time for the competition, it's a go.
Over the years these requirements have prevented some well-known vehicles from participating in our 4x4 of the Year test. Rest assured that if your favorite 4x4 is not here it's not because we overlooked it. This year's pack of qualifying 4x4s included: the Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab, the Hummer H3, the Jeep Commander Limited, the Nissan Xterra Off-Road V-6, and the Suzuki Grand Vitara.
Before we left civilization we stopped at Off Road Unlimited (818.563.DIRT, www.offroadunlimited.com) in Burbank, California. We had the owner, Maurice Rozo, put each of these 4x4s up on the lift so we could examine the undercarriages.
And then for the 24th year in a row we set out for our Southern California 4-Wheel and Off-Road proving grounds to shake down each one of these 4x4s in the mountains and desert and on every trail we can find in between. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to figure out which one is the 4-Wheel and Off-Road 2006 4x4 of the Year.

The Scores and Previous Winners
The 2006 4x4 of the Year is ...
Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab
Evolution is a great thing. In 2002 Dodge debuted its new independent front suspension Ram platform with a sleek new body, five-speed automatic transmission, and the 4.7L Magnum V-8 engine. The off-road world responded by mourning the loss of the old solid front axle 360 V-8-powered trucks. Sure the 2002 version was newer, but it was also underpowered and the suspension tuning was way behind what Ford and GM were offering. Four years later, all is forgiven.
The Ram 1500 is back because it has evolved with a new frame, a coilover shock front suspension, a new TRX4 Off-Road package with a decent rear limited slip, and the revised 5.7L Hemi with the multiple displacement system (MDS) that automatically runs the engine as a four-cylinder when under light load to save fuel.
The updated interior, front clip, and chassis make the truck feel fresh, but at the root of this vehicle is a platform that Dodge engineers now have millions, if not billions, of miles of experience with. All you engineers with your "clean sheet of paper designs" can keep them!
The 2006 Ram snuck up on all of our judges and started racking up points from the first time we floored the Hemi's drive-by-wire throttle.
Better suited to the open road than urban life, the Ram 1500 scored the worst in the city and the best on the highway in our judging books. The smooth-riding truck has the power to pass on any hill, and is equipped with a satellite radio and even a rear-seat DVD player to keep the kids happy. Still, it was our last choice for parallel parking, narrow streets, and backing out into traffic.
We'll concede that a four-door fullsize pickup truck is not the hot vehicle configuration for most off-roading. And unlike the Dodge Power Wagon we tested last year, this truck had no locker, winch, or detachable sway bars. Somehow it still managed to go everywhere we took this year's group. Hillclimbs were never a problem and the Ram 1500 had just the right mix of float and control over high-speed dirt roads. In the rocks the Ram 1500 just pushed the smaller stuff out of its way and the only time we ever got it stuck was when it would high-center itself at the top of a hillclimb. We attribute the Ram 1500s success to the right wheelbase, weight distribution, and tires.

Topic Page: cortisone
(kôr'tĭsōn´´), steroid hormone whose main physiological effect is on carbohydrate metabolism. It is synthesized from cholesterol in the outer layer, or cortex, of the adrenal gland under the stimulation of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Cortisone is classed as a glucocorticoid with cortisol and corticosterone; its effects include increased glucose release from the liver, increased liver glycogen synthesis, and decreased utilization of glucose by the tissues. These actions tend to counter the effects of insulin and may aggravate or mimic diabetes in sufficiently high doses. Cortisone also exerts an effect on salt retention in the kidneys similar to that of aldosterone, although it is not as potent. The hormone causes increased breakdown of proteins and decreased protein synthesis, and large doses given over a long period of time may result in inhibited growth in children or weakening of bones and wasting of muscles in adults.
The principal medical use of cortisone comes from its anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects; it is extremely useful in the treatment of innumerable diseases including asthma and other allergic reactions, arthritis, and various skin diseases. Cortisone is necessary to maintain life and enable the organism to respond to stress; failure of the adrenal glands to synthesize cortisone (Addison's disease) or surgical removal of the adrenals is fatal unless cortisone is given as replacement therapy. Although less cortisone is manufactured in the body than either cortisol or corticosterone and although cortisone is less potent than cortisol, the term cortisone is often used collectively to include the other glucocorticoids, both the naturally occurring and the synthetic compounds such as prednisone. Small quantities of cortisone were first isolated from animal adrenals in 1935–36. A method of manufacture, involving laboratory synthesis from an acid of bile, was developed, and in 1949 cortisone was first offered commercially. The specific mechanisms by which cortisone and similar compounds act are still poorly understood.

Darwinian needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 33 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
We provide a communication environment for professionals and news in our sector, and a marketplace. The network of contacts in this sector is the most important of the club. We seek professional conversation between them.
We have two aproximations to clubDarwin.net. We are in development process and we need a design to launch the site next febrary.
First example is http://www.bottlingworld.com.
This site was made only for news of our sector. The design is similar to new york times website. We don't want to copy this design, but we think that this is an example of seriously.
Second example is http://www.emblogtellados.com
user: demo
pass: demo
Some sites we like are:
This site has a newspaper integrated with a social network and a marketplace. It means, a user that is reading about a kind of machine can participate in comments or debates... and can go to suppliers that sell this machine through this system. We don't want to reflect that our club is the summatory of three kind of websites (newspaper website, social network and a marketplace). We are developing one new thing, one place only for people of this sector that can be informed, can buy or can participate in a transparent way, without jump over different tabs or different websites.
They are industry professionals from food and beverage sector (both direct and indirect, vendors, suppliers ...). Professionals are engineers, salespeople, managers ...
The club is by invitation because the site is exclusively for professionals contrasted.
The remaining people are going to the site by anonymous or subscribers.
The mark consists of three words.
-Club as a reference to the exclusivity of the site.
-Darwin embraces the concept of evolution on the internet for industry professionals.
-.net to give the meaning of online network
-Users are people not friendly with internet. Website must be very intuitive, easy to understand, simple.
-self explanatory. Users have a help zone often.
-It should reflect seriously, for persons 40 years and older. Example: http://www.nytimes.com
-Photoshop design.
Logo was designed by a designer on 99designs:
We use the standard template called 960 with 12 columns.
This template has 12 columns of 60 px per column separated from each other by 20px for each separation (10px on each side).
The purpose of the template is able to place any block on the site starting in one of the 12 columns and using as many columns as needed, but always occupying the number of columns used in full.
A block can occupy from 1 to 12 columns, while respecting the established grid.
Initially use no more than 4 blocks per row, but this system allows us to expand in the future.
Here is the website of the 960 template with examples.
WIREFRAMES (Header is the same for every page)
- Main (Portal).
- Section. Is a specific page for a topic (a set of news about a topic)
- Article.
- User. Profile page for every user.
- Marketplace. We are based in the structure of this web: http://www.snooth.com/wines/
We can start with the Portal. We are going to select a few of designs and then we will work in the rest of wireframes.

An old settlers graveyard in Republic County, Kansas
|Willoughby Cemetery, near Agenda, Kansas
One hot day last July, my brother, my sister, and I drove up to Republic County, Kansas, and found Willoughby Cemetery. It's named for W. H. Willoughby, the man who donated one corner of his homestead to be a community burying ground.
W. H. Willoughby (my great-great-granduncle-by-marriage) was a preacher and one of the first settlers of Elk Creek Township in Republic County. He homesteaded on Elk Creek in the late 1860s, along with a small group of brothers, cousins, and "in-laws." This group of original settlers included my great-great-grandfather Ashbel Mapes. Ashbel and W. H. Willoughby were brother-in-laws: Ashbel was a brother of W. H.'s wife Rachel Mapes Willoughby.
|My gr-grandfather's Charles Leslie Hill's original gravestone.
There's also a new stone for Charles and Lilly Hill (at right.)
Great-grandfather Charles Leslie Hill is buried there, beside his first wife, Lillie Mapes, who was a daughter of Ashbel and Martha Mapes. When Lillie died of "catarrhal fever" leaving three little children without a mother, Charles married her younger sister Lana Mapes, my great grandmother.
|My gr -gr -grandaunt, Rachel Ann Mapes,
She was W. H. Willoughby's wife.
Also, little Clarence Hill, a great-uncle who died at the age of 3 years and a few days, is buried there. His grave is probably at the foot of his mother's Lillie Mapes Hill's grave, where a small, uninscribed stone stands.
While we were there, I tried to photograph all of the gravestones in the cemetery that were legible or at least partly so. I planned to post them to Find-A-Grave when I got back home.
When I began editing the photos and researching the names in Willoughby cemetery, I learned that a surprising number of people there were related to my relatives in one way or another.
All of them, related or not, were from neighbor families and many were homesteaders. Some came to Kansas from New York, Ohio, Indiana, and other states, and others were immigrants from foreign countries.Their life stories were just as interesting as my own family's. (And I don't mean that they were all saints! One of them even served time for stealing chickens.)
Intrigued by their histories, I decided that I would include at least a few sentences about the life of each person in Willoughby Cemetery in his or her Find A Grave memorial. Achieving that goal has been an interesting, engrossing project. I've found obituaries for many of them in the old Republic County newspapers. For others, I've constructed a short biography from census data and other sources.
While searching the old newspapers for the names on the stones, I've found about twenty obituaries for people who were buried in Willoughby, but do not seem to have grave markers (or their grave markers are illegible.) So, I created Find-A-Grave memorials for them with their obituaries, so their stories can be retold and remembered, too.
|Willoughby Cemetery in Republic County
near Agenda, Kansas
A shopkeeper in Agenda, a little village a few miles away, told us that W. H. Willoughby gave the cemetery land with one condition -- that no one would ever have to pay to be buried there. No burial plots in Willoughby Cemetery were ever to be sold. The community still honors that promise, she added.
|The first burial in Willoughby Cemetery (that I know of)
was little Margaret Miller who died in 1871.
|These Willoughby children were a nephew and a niece of
W.H. Willoughby, who founded Willoughby cemetery to
serve the needs of the Elk Creek homesteader community.
Rest in peace, little ones.

Anyone use 10-50 plug to charge their Model S with Mobile Adapter?
Anyone use 10-50 plug to charge their Model S with Mobile Adapter?
Just try it. Heck, what could go wrong? ;) (Please give gory details!)
It might not charge without an earth ground for voltage reference.
This could be a big deal if it doesn't work; I'd be calling Tesla on that one! Ask to be put in contact with the electrical engineering department.
It will probably work. Just adapted a 3-wire electric dryer outlet to a 14-50 outlet and the mobile charger did not mind the missing neutral wire.
JackB, Did you mean the neutral wire or the ground wire? I realize in the implementation that you are doing it is really the same wire but I was wondering which leg of the 14-50 that you left disconnected. Or did you connect both ground and neutral together?
I would stay away from home made adapters and extension cords. I made a couple for my Roadster and they would not work. The Roadster actually detected them and stated "extension cord detected" and would not charge with them.
Instead, I would suggest you bring a 14-50 outlet with you to your cabin and swap out the outlet like JackB did above. Just make sure the wiring and breaker are rated for 50 amps.
Sorry to thread hi-jack but would any of you guys be willing to answer any of my questions on this? I really don't understand what magic goes on with the different outlet types, etc. http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/nema-650-outlet-supported-now-an...
The Model S has both a unique and very advanced battery and charge system. Your Model S can detect and adjust to the line and current you feed it so as I understand it, if it fit's, it works with it.
The following is copied from this link
Then select the adapter guide tab
Volts / Amps Kilowatts Miles of Range per
Hour of Charge
NEMA 5-15 Standard Outlet 110 V / 12 A 1.4 kW 5
NEMA 14-50 RVs and Campsites 240 V / 40 A 10 kW 31
NEMA 6-50 Welding Equipment 240 V / 40 A 10 kW 31
NEMA 10-30 Older Dryers 240 V / 24 A 5.8 kW 18
NEMA 14-30 Newer Dryers 240 V / 24 A 5.8 kW 18
It does say if installing a new outlet 14-50 is recommended.
What if your outlet says 250V/50A? Is that still ok?
From http://www.teslamotors.com/models/specs
10 kW capable on-board charger with the following input compatibility: 85-265 V, 45-65 Hz, 1-40 A (Optional 20 kW capable Twin Chargers increases input compatibility to 80 A)
So yes, it's ok
@Scorch | NOVEMBER 27, 2012: What if your outlet says 250V/50A? Is that still ok?
That is just the maximum capacity rating of the outlet. The actual capacity is determined by your wiring and your circuit breaker. The circuit breaker should be 50A, but the current draw is usually 80% of the maximum rated capacity (or 40A). If you have a NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 outlet the car will draw the appropriate amount of power that it needs. So in other words, a 250V/50A rated outlet is fine.
@Alex Thank you so much! Hopefully I am good to go then. :)
The NEMA 15-50 is a four socket receptacle. To wire it by code you need 6/3 AWG wire (three conductors plus a ground - hot, hot, neutral and ground). When wired like this it will provide both 120V and 240V. The Tesla only uses 240 so it does not need the neutral. You can get away with using 6/2 AWG (two conductors plus a ground - hot, hot and ground. This will be safe because ground is included, but it will not be to code.
I am wired this way because I'm a DIY and 125' of 6/2 is $150 and 125'of 6/3 is $250.
Not sure why Tesla chose the 15-50 receptacle when they don't need a neutral......
@goldfishapt, It's 14-50, by the way.
"Not sure why Tesla chose the 15-50 receptacle when they don't need a neutral......"
That's because of availability of outlets, I'm pretty sure. There are many hundreds of RV parks and campgrounds where you can use that same adapter to charge the Tesla away from home at a pretty good rate. It was a pretty savvy plan, I think.
@goldfishapt The NEMA 14-50 is common in residential installations as well as campgrounds, while the 6-50 is not as common.
The ground is required for Tesla charging(will not work without it) and the neutral is not. A neutral wire connects to the same place on the distribution panel as a ground wire, but a different pin on the 14-50 receptacle.
I think it also won't charge if line/hot and neutral are reversed or if there's no ground for the 5-15 120V adapter. I've ran into this situation once.

During a discussion in my English seminar at school we debated over censorship. From The Chronicles of Narnia and Of Mice and Men, many novels treasured by people all over the world get censored all the time. However, books aren't the only things censored in our society; all sorts of things are censored including music, television, movies, maps, and even education.
Notice the difference between the two ads?
Demi Moore's cleavage and knees are
covered with black ink under the Iranian
Other countries seem to have it even worse. An interesting article on Iranian fashion by Chris Mohney surprised me. Many Western magazines are "heavily censored by the government who cover forbidden ladyparts with white stickers or black ink." Can you believe that these forbidden ladyparts include bare arms, knees, or cleavage?
A while back I wrote about one controversial advertisement created by Lucie Boshier. I sort of regret my comment on the whole advertisement:
"I find the cartoon a little offensive and I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable with kids looking at the this when they are walking through the streets. Maybe it's because I don't want to acknowledge the fact that the fashion industry isn't so glamorous and that there are many dangerous aspects of the industry."
Although it's still offensive to me, I now disagree with my reasoning that children should not see the ad. By hiding facts from society, I feel that everyone is losing rather than gaining. I think it's better in the long run for people to be able to express their thoughts and for the viewers to actually be able to see that without intervention.
So does that mean I'm totally against censorship? No, but I feel that there is a very fine line in determining whether something should be censored or not. I agree with the words of Charles Bukowski:
Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real. Somewhere in their upbringing they were shielded against the total facts of our experience. They were only taught to look one way when many ways exist.

Forty people have been shot in Baltimore City, 16 fatally, within the span of 10 days — and summer is just beginning ("Deadly summer," June 30).
Maybe it is just me, but doesn't it seem that the shootings have escalated since the death penalty was abolished? The criminals have nothing to be afraid of anymore.
If those committing these crimes die, oh well. If those committing these crimes get caught and live, what do they have to look forward to? They receive three meals a day, medical and dental care and a roof over their heads, all free.
Some also take advantage of getting an education while in prison. Not bad for someone who may have killed someone's spouse, child, grandchild or sibling.
It seems that the numbers have gone up now that there is no death penalty. What have criminals got to lose? While in jail a murder can be committed against a guard or another inmate. What have they got to lose? Their life is not on the line anymore.
So do not tell me that the death penalty was not a deterrent. If the death penalty made even one person think twice before pulling the trigger, that was a life saved.

Treasure Trove Thursday- Asahel Wright
Well last night I had a tremendous breakthrough. A transcription of a bible record is on usgenweb.org that links the Washington Wright I knew of as my ancestor to his parents, Asahel Wright and Temperance Jones. It also lists dates and siblings. After that i then found a transcription out of a history book that tells Asahel's parents and where he lived through out his life. If all that wasn't enough- I found an online tree that someone submitted with that family and traced back to 1610 to a Benjamin Wright born in England!! Of course I will have to document everything- find all the sources for myself, but it is so exciting to find all that!!!! It's what i have been working towards for the past 7 years and I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! I am so excited! I can't wait to write to the Tioga County Pennsylvania Historical Society and get copies of the ORIGINAL bible pages!!!! :-)

I have had my betta since about January now and I have just noticed his fins are starting to tear and disappear. I do give his tank weekly cleanings as well as the usage of water conditioner. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this?
I did try to google this (I found he has fin rot) but the treatment options were all over. I found just feed him certain food, give him medication, or simply just clean his tank out more frequently. Which would be the best option to proceed with?

Commercial Ranges & Cooktops
The commercial range selections you have will first be filtered by whether you want to install gas or electric. The commercial gas range is more popular thanks to higher BTU ratings, and its ability to provide more precise and instant temperature regulation. A commercial electric range is generally chosen when gas is not available, when electricity is cheaper than gas per unit, or due to the specific room or building not allowing proper venting for a gas commercial stove top.
When choosing a restaurant stove, the choices are staggering. Between the four most popular brand choices - American Range, US Range, Vulcan Hart Range, and Southbend Range - there are literally thousands of possible combinations available.

Politico reported in March 2011 that Sessions "raised eyebrows" by bringing Diebel to a meeting of the House GOP Conference, meetings to which candidates in contested primaries are not usually invited. Days before the August 2010 primary, a rival who ended up running third, Craig Miller, the former CEO of Ruth's Chris Steak House, sent voters a mailer accusing Diebel of being "unstable" and "bizarre." He cited a spate of 911 calls Diebel had made, including one in which she alleged that a political opponent had placed a snake in her pool, and public arguments she was involved in on the city commission. Sessions, in his role as National Republican Congressional Committee chairman, sought to referee the nastiness. In particular, he took issue with an allegation of Diebel's "erratic behavior" drawn from a quote by a Democratic official.Unstable and bizarre, huh? She's perfect for him.

(Reuters) - World number one Serena Williams and Serbian eighth seed Jelena Jankovic set up a final showdown in the China Open after their contrasting victories in the semi-finals on Saturday.
The top-seeded American, who has now won 72 matches in 2013 and a prize purse of more than $9 million, hit 31 winners to thrash Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2 6-2.
But former world number one Jankovic had to rally from a set down to notch up her first career win against ninth seed Petra Kvitova 6-7(7) 6-1 6-1.
The 32-year-old Williams, who will be eyeing her 10th title of the season on Sunday, received medical attention on her back during the second set but it provided no respite for Radwanska.
"Playing against Agnieszka, she plays like magic, she can move the ball left and right - she can do anything with her shots," Williams told reporters.
"So for me today it was just important to try to stay ahead of her, or one step ahead of her. I just tried to do that today and I'm happy with how things went."
Kvitova, who won her second WTA title of the year last week in Tokyo, edged Jankovic in the tiebreak to bag the first set but a flurry of errors in the second set handed the momentum back to the Serb.
"I lost to her the last two times we played. She has always given me a lot of trouble and didn't allow me to play my game," Jankovic told reporters. "Even today in the first set she was controlling the points.
"I was still there, but didn't feel comfortable. But in the next two sets I felt like I went on top of her and took control. Then as the match went on I think she got a little bit tired... and then I had everything in my hands, pretty much."
The Serb, who reached the top of women's world rankings in 2008, had no qualms in admitting that she had to be at her best to even have a chance against Williams, whom she has beaten four out of 10 times in the past.
"She's in unbelievable form. Even though I have beaten her in the past... I think she's the most difficult player to play against," Jankovic said.
"She has a lot of experience, winning a lot of titles and winning pretty much everything there is to win.
"She's physically so strong, I think stronger than 99 percent of the players. She has all the shots. When she's on top of her game, it's very difficult to beat her."

Broomcorn was a significant crop in the Connecticut River Valley for about fifty years in the 19th century as farmers looked for alternatives to the beef cattle business. Dennis (1778-1842) and Baxter (1793-1862) Stebbins of Deerfield, Massachusetts, were in the business of manufacturing brooms. Dennis, on Lot 39, had a broom shop behind his house. Mr. Morton, the writer of the letter offers to take the Stebbinses' brooms to sell in New York City. It seems he has done business with them before and now needs a way to pay his debts.

BOSTON, Mass. – The No. 1 Yale coed sailing team put up an impressive show of depth this weekend, with strong results in three separate regattas. The Bulldogs placed second at the Hatch Brown at MIT, fourth at the Nevins Trophy at King's Point and sixth at the BC Central Series hosted by Boston College.
The three-division Hatch Brown Trophy was a war of attrition on the Charles River. Seventeen races were sailed in each division in classic, challenging shifty Charles River conditions. Saturday saw a ten to 18 knot southerly, while Sunday's breeze was a six to twelve knot westerly. The Bulldogs finished second, only nine points behind No. 3 Boston College, but 60 points ahead of No. 11 Navy.
Skipper junior Graham Landy with crews junior Katherine Gaumond and sophomore Charlotte Belling finished sixth in a competitive A division. In B division, senior captain Chris Segerblom and freshman crew Natalya Doris finished in fifth, only three points out of the top three. Freshman skipper Ian Barrows with crews Belling and freshman Meredith Megarry had an outstanding performance in C division. They finished first in their division by 42 points, finishing outside the top-five in only four of the 17 races, and never outside the top ten. Barrows commented that it was the "leadership from older teammates" that helped inspire his success.
The Nevins Trophy saw drastically different conditions than the Hatch Brown. Saturday's breeze started as an eight-knot southerly, however by the fourth race of the day it had increased to 27 knots with large waves, forcing race officers to call the regatta early. Sunday also saw strong breeze, albeit to a lesser degree, with a 15 to 18 knot northeasterly. The Bulldogs showed strength in this heavy breeze, finishing the regatta in fourth.
Junior skipper Morgan Kiss with senior crews Will Feldman and Amanda Salvesen finished second in a deep A division. Kiss noted "consistency was key" throughout the weekend, however "the really close racing was exciting and we were excited to finish the regatta with a good last set." Senior Max Nickbarg with crews senior Salvesen, junior Sarah Smith and freshman Isabelle Rossi de Leon showed that experience with a venue is key. A veteran sailor at King's Point regatta, Nickbarg and crews finished fourth in B division with the lowest points of Bulldog squad. Freshman Mitchell Kiss sailed Lasers in C division, making his debut with an eighth-place finish.
The Bulldogs at the Boston College Central Series finished sixth after nine races. Sophomores Eric Anderson and crew Megan Valentine placed thirteenth in A division while sophomores Marly Isler and crew Sanam Rastegar placed third in B.
Next weekend Yale will sail the St. Mary's Intersectional, the site of the 2014 ICSA National Championships.

we can accommodate CC's with a 4% service fee.
Quote from: dickthediscparker on August 14, 2012, 05:17:39 PM we can accommodate CC's with a 4% service fee.4% ouch! I use square on my phone for taking credit cards for only 2.75% I know of a certain disc golf store in town that doens't charge anything for using a credit card. It may well be built into the cost of goods just like rent, payroll, etc... but they don't charge you for using a card. Just sayin, that's the cost of doing business... for us digital age folks, cash is not often on hand.
I'll cover the steep $1 fee for you.
We DON'T Do this to make money.....in fact I spend money on this event....so you want me to pay for your fee now? We could charge the amount that makes us money, but then it wouldn't be a birthday party would it? It would be a tournament, which this is not! At any rate, Dick already said that he would pay your $1 Mr. Pink, so annie up if you wanna go! The program is up:Here's the link. http://kcfdc.org/docs/2012_LDO.pdfThe principal of the event is to enjoy the park, and have fun, and we try to make it so that there is a good time had by all with minimal cost. My theory on this has always been, if you took me out for a couple of beers on my B-day what would it cost you? I can guarantee those that know me, are well aware that a $25 fee is far less than the bar tab of a few drinks (its less than most of my lunch time in between rounds tab), so be thankful I don't go with that amount!I know the case you are trying to make, but....This is not a store/vendor run eventWe are not a BankWe are not hiding feesSomeone will have to pay that fee (Dick, really?)You know 4-Square was hacked hard, and accounts stolen right? I have a 4-square at home if you would prefer to do that, and will charge the 2.75% instead...you wanna take that risk over $.30Why are you seriously complaining about this? Really bothers you that much? Don't sweat the little stuff, and it is all little stuff!
Well, in a word, Yes. It does bother me. I could take the time and piece together all the previous posts, but to be honest I don't feel like working that hard this morning. I am, however, in just foul enough of a mood to keep beating this horse until It's sufficiently dead. 1) if it's not a store sponsered event, why are cc payments being accepted at DGW for 4%?2) I know it's not a club event, never said it was3) just trying to shed some light on the fact there are cheaper ways to accept CC. 4) you don't think banks get hackedI could go on and on, but I wont.

America's Dirtiest Cities ignores Silicon Valley
Travel & Leisure magazine really enjoys making all kinds of lists of cities, and their newest one is a doody. Whoops, we mean a doozy, sorry. They've just released a list of America's Dirtiest Cities, which is merely a reverse ranking of the Cleanliness category on their Quality of Life index. They do love making lists.
T&L offers lists of the best city for singles, or for culture, or fine dining on their website, and they do an annual America's Favorite Cities ranking that adds up a number of those qualities. But one thing you won't find is any mention of America's tenth largest city, San Jose.
There are only 35 cities on T&L's lists, and as far as they're concerned, San Jose is merely a very remote suburb of smaller but way more famous San Francisco. (San Francisco ranks 14th in population and is a quarter the physical size of San Jose.) The only other California cities on T&L's rankings are Los Angeles and San Diego, both of which are larger than either Northern California nexus. Cities they deem more worth your notice than San Jose include Baltimore, Portland (Maine), Savannah, Providence, and Kansas City.
Here's the SF entry on the dirtiest cities list, and we've got the entire list for you as well. (Spoiler: NYC wins again.)
No. 11 San Francisco
The foodie capital of the nation ranks near the top of the AFC for its fine dining, ethnic cuisine, and cafés. But all that takeout can pile up. A recent study found that one of the biggest culprits for pollution in the San Francisco Bay is food containers—though ironically, they may be floating in from neighboring cities. Voters also commended the locals for being brainy and diverse.
The ten cities with even less civic hygiene than San Francisco are:
- New York City – If you can make a mess here, you can make it anywhere.
- New Orleans – The Simpsons defamed them far better than we could.
- Baltimore – Quoth the raven, "Close the compactor door!"
- Los Angeles – You'll never get out of your car, so you'll never know.
- Atlanta – The litter gets moved around rather than be Gone With the Wind.
- Philthydelphia – Sorry, couldn't resist.
- Dallas/Fort Worth – Everything's bigger in Texas.
- Miami – Why clean up? Another hurricane's just around the corner.
- Memphis – Elvis has left the building, but his trash hasn't.
- Houston – See Dallas. Then note they rank #7 and #10, showing that everything's merely said to be bigger in Texas.
If you're interested, this T&L link covers how SF has fared on all their lists. The City by the Bay earns plenty of Top Ten rankings, and only hit bottom on Affordability, Filth, and (you didn't see this one coming, did you?) Barbecue and Hamburgers (the latter only according to residents; we prefer the travelers' rankings). Worst city for barbeque: Anchorage, Alaska.
And bad news, New York City beat us again on Least Affordable. We really have to work on that. How about raising the price of cable car tickets to thirty bucks? The only #1 ranking San Francisco got on anything was its residents' vote for Ethnic Food. Otherwise, there was plenty of Number Two all over SF. And that brings us back to today's topic.
See the trash in that photo on the left? That's Coyote Creek earlier this month (the WINNER!!! in an SF Chronicle piece on dirtiest Bay Area waterways), so San Francisco's got nothing on us!
You can discuss the relative filth of any city you wish, including the one you live in. Or anything at all, because this is Your Weekend Open Thread. How filthy were the Open Houses you visited today?

Quick and Easy Portuguese Kale Soup Recipe
A soup-er food recipe for a fast, comforting and nutritious winter dinner
En español | Deep winter is the best time to cook up a pot of soup. You could start with a ham hock, chicken carcass or beef bones to create long-simmering soups that are all worth making. But I offer you one that's ready in less than 30 minutes, and rivals chicken noodle as a comfort food. There's another plus: It's chock-full of the nutrient-rich superfood kale.
See also: 3 warm recipes to chase away winter blues
Portuguese Soup may sound exotic, but check out the unusually short ingredient list. And, except for the kale and maybe the sausage, they're all ingredients you probably have in your pantry right now. You can buy big bunches of kale and do all the prep yourself, but I now use it so regularly, I've started buying it in two-pound bags with the rinsing, stemming and tearing mostly done. (It needs a little further preparation, but it beats starting from scratch.)
A pot of Portuguese Kale Soup typically calls for a pound of sausage, but I've discovered that half that amount, or eight ounces, is plenty. The key is to break up the sausage as it cooks so it gets evenly distributed. Spicy fresh chorizo is traditional and delicious in this recipe, but if you can't find it, don't let that dissuade you from making the soup. I've prepared it with a variety of sausages, including garlicky Italian chicken sausage, and it's always plenty tasty.
Because I prefer the kale to retain its bright-green color and more of its nutrients, I've suggested stirring in the greens toward the end of cooking. If you like your kale more tender, add it to the pot as soon as the broth comes to a simmer.

Portuguese Kale Soup
Serves a generous 4
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces fresh chorizo or Italian sausage, removed from casing
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 or 3 bay leaves
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into medium dice
- 1 can (15 to 16 ounces) chickpeas, drained
- 1 pound kale, washed, stemmed and coarsely chopped
- Salt and ground black pepper
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or soup kettle. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks, until it loses its raw color, a couple of minutes. Add onion and continue to cook until onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, a minute longer. Add broth, tomatoes, bay leaves, potatoes and chickpeas; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in kale and cook until wilted but still bright-green, a few minutes longer. Adjust seasoning, including salt and pepper, to taste. Serve.

Melodyne wins Grammy
Voodoo One is proud of his friends at Celemony, who have been awarded a Technical Grammy for Melodyne.
PreSonus Studio One integrates Melodyne so tightly that it becomes essentially part of the program. Melodyne's editing window opens within Studio One, and edits created in Melodyne can be immediately auditioned within Studio One, without cumbersome porting of files between the two programs.
"PreSonus has long recognized the unparalleled power Melodyne brings to audio editing, and we knew early on that integrating it into Studio One was a big part of creating the next generation of DAW software," states Jim Odom, PreSonus co-founder, president and chief strategy officer. "We're truly excited that the Recording Academy has recognized Celemony with this tremendous award, and we're proud to be associated with such an innovative team."

On-Dash ECU Control For JeepsPosted in How To: Engine on January 20, 2014
It's no secret that a programmer or tuner or re-flasher can help unlock some extra power residing under your hood. But also having control of things like lockers and lights, disconnecting sway bars, as well as engine-monitoring gauges, mapping performance tests, onboard DTC reader, and maintenance manager, all with a built-in inclinometer? Only the touch screen Trail Dash from Superchips offers all that. Unfortunately, it's only meant for Jeeps, as much as we'd like a unit like this on some of our other later-model 4x4s.
The Trail Dash can do everything a standard onboard tuning unit can do, and a whole lot more. There is even engine idle and timing control available, as well as the ability to design your own custom gauge readouts using the expandability of the EAS (Edge Accessory System) plug-ins.
If you have a Jeep, this is the tuner to have. Now, all Superchips needs to do is make this for the Raptor and some other trucks.

text: Brexit: Impact on tax law Share this 24 JUN 2016 By: Richard Woolich Roderik Bouwman The referendum vote in itself did not give rise to any immediate tax changes, or any change in tax policy. However, depending on the deal reached with the EU for the UK's departure, there are likely to be some significant changes in the years ahead. It is hoped that business is made aware of the likely terms of the deal with the EU early on in the formal negotiations, to afford maximum time to plan ahead for any necessary changes to business models and changes to systems. Read more - Brexit: How might taxes be affected? Key direct tax issues Direct taxes are governed by UK law, but must comply with EU Treaties and CJEU case law. The EU treaties authorise the EU Council to issue directions, regulations and provisions, which following Brexit may no longer apply to the UK, such as the Mergers Directive, the Parent Subsidiary Directive, the Interest and Royalties Directive, the Mutual Assistance Directive and the Recovery Assistance Directive. Some corporate structures may be relying on the Parent-Subsidiary Directive and the Interest and Royalties Directive to avoid the incidence of withholding tax, where the relevant double tax treaty does not provide a complete exemption, and this should be checked. The UK has had to comply with the four fundamental treaty freedoms, the freedom to provide services, the freedom of movement of people, the freedom of capital and the freedom of establishment. Loss of EU passport rights, and loss of the freedom to provide services, may mean that some businesses need to maintain a place of operation in the EU. It is uncertain what status EU case law and ongoing reference to the CJEU will have following Brexit. The EU Commission has been pushing for full harmonisation of corporate tax, through the introduction of a Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (CCCTB) and, more recently, through a uniform response to the recommendations made by the OECD in its BEPS reports. While the UK has been, and is likely to remain, a supporter of the BEPS recommendations, it has been an opponent of the CCCTB, so Brexit may accelerate the CCCTB's introduction. Key indirect tax issues A movement of goods between the UK and the rest of the EU will become an import/export, with increased compliance obligations and potentially customs duties. Currently, duties are entirely governed by EU Directives and Regulations and rates of duty are set at an EU level. All EU Member States share common external tariffs with third countries. The UK will need to enact its own legislation, but could mirror the EU Directives and Regulations, including the new Union Customs Code, effective 1 May 2016. The UK may negotiate a free trade agreement with the EU resulting in no or very low levels of customs duties. Agreement will need to be reached on issues such as preferential tariff rates, non-tariff barriers such as health, safety and environment standards, and rules of origin requirements. Movements of goods between the UK and the rest of the EU will become imports and exports for VAT purposes with generally more complex compliance obligations than the current intra-EU system. UK businesses will no longer need to adhere to compliance obligations for intra EU trade (EU Sales Lists and Intrastat). There will be an impact for intra EU VAT accounting such as the B2C distance selling, the mini one stop shop for electronically supplied services, triangulation and possibly changes for the tour operator's margin scheme. There will need to be changes to the systems dealing with input VAT claims. EU businesses will need to use the 13th Directive Reclaim Scheme to reclaim UK input VAT, rather than the modernised paperless electronic version, under the Reclaim Directive. The UK are likely to introduce an equivalent system to assist UK businesses to recover EU VAT. The UK will be able to more easily introduce new reduced VAT rates and zero-rating for charities and other sectors, where socially desirable, and clarify VAT exemptions e.g. for payment services, outsourcing for financial services and management of special investment funds. No changes are expected to Air Passenger Duty, Climate Change Levy and Aggregates Levy, which are bound by UK law. Actions Keep abreast of likely changes impacting your business. Check your corporate structure will not be affected by any dividend or interest withholding taxes, and be prepared to take action to avoid loss of EU passporting rights. Planning and resources may be required to implement changes within ERP Systems and compliance processes, especially for VAT compliance. For a more detailed analysis of the issues, please contact Richard Woolich, Head of UK Tax, or your usual DLA Piper contact.
