Aren't vintage waves the dreamiest? The brunettes in the first and third from last photos are making me tempted to try a drastic centre part like that!

Lovely! Your hair always looks so cute - how lucky you are to have the natural wave.

If you go to any hair salon today, these would be called "finger" waves, styled with a rat tail comb and hair gel. When my hair was short, I would wear 20s style waves on occasion. I loved them! I always felt like Josephine Baker or Betty Boop when I wore them. Go for, Stefanie!

Yes, finger waves are rarely distinguished from the Marcel waves nowadays. Will post pics if/when I get this all sorted!

Our new neighbors (Joe & Kathie) love to camp, and they were telling us how much they love Prophetstown State Park. We decided to give it a try for Memorial Day weekend, and we found that they are absolutely right ~ it's a great park, pretty area, LOTS to do in the Lafayette area…an all-around great place to camp!
We had a few little obstacles (like kids with tummy troubles, seriously hot weather, and a fridge that wasn't cooling properly leaving us with spoiled meat) but overall, we had a very good weekend!
The boys were SO excited to go camping for the first time this year! They obviously both remembered camping in the past, and they were crazy-excited to go again!
It's SO much work camping with little ones, but it's so very worthwhile. I love how we're able to spend so much quality time together while camping!
Jensyn has no recollection of camping last year, but she sure loved it this year!
There's a working 1920s farm at Prophetstown. You can tour the farmhouse and the barns. The farmhouse has lots of hands-on things for kids ~ trying out the old-fashioned carpet sweeper, using a handmade fly swatter, trying out a (needle-less) sewing machine, playing with old-fashioned toys, etc.
a pedal-powered player piano ~ it was a lot of fun to try it out!
The boys enjoyed the house, but they LOVED the tractors and animals. Jensyn went nuts over the chickens and kittens. She got all excited to pet the kitties!
There's also a (very small) Native American village. We took a wagon ride to the village to check it out. There are only a few old buildings there, but the tour guide was able to share some neat facts about the history of the village. The fact I found most interesting is that these Native Americans were killed because "The Prophet" told them that they would be immune to the white man's bullets.
We haven't had a casual family picture in forever! We were all hot & sticky, but hey…we were stuck on the wagon ride for 15 minutes, so we might as well use the time wisely ;)
Thank goodness for a/c in the camper! It was around 95 degrees all weekend! We spent an hour or two in the camper for naps/quiet time during the hottest part of each afternoon.
My neighbor April bring a small pool for their kids when they go camping. I thought that was a bit silly, but knowing the weather forecast we decided to give it a try. This was a big hit with our kids! (Jensyn kept grabbing gravel and tossing it in the pool, though.)
The kids loved the beautiful playground at Prophetstown.
Everything is clean and new, and it's really big!
I didn't get any pictures of her, but Alex made a new little friend named Sara.
He and Sara had a LOT of fun chasing each other around the playsets!
Jensyn tried the baby swings, and then she just crawled around and entertained herself.
We went back to the farm a second time…
We visited Tropicanoe Cove waterpark in Lafayette to cool off, since there's no pool or lake at the campground. Alex called it "Terrific Canoe" waterpark ;)
It's a decent sized waterpark, and it has a big splash and play area for the little ones. We were shocked that it only cost $20 for our whole family!
Alex played there for a bit, and then Daddy took him to the deep water. I stayed in the splash area with Max & Jensyn. Jensyn loved to just crawl in the shallow water; Max went on the same little dolphin slide again and again and again…
We just tried for one good picture, and then we put the camera way to enjoy the afternoon. As those of you with little ones know, it's IMPOSSIBLE to make three children look in the same direction at the same time.
All three kids enjoyed just playing at our campsite.
Digging in the dirt with sticks…you'd think this girl had big brothers ;)
check out that grass and gravel-covered diaper. She explored EVERYTHING!
I'm pretty sure she tried to eat everything, too ~ gravel, clover flowers, etc.
We bought a new canopy/clothes drying rack.
Unfortunately, the shade was never actually UNDER the canopy! ;)
Even at night, it was HOT with a campfire! The kids still loved roasting marshmallows, though. Jensyn had her first gooey, melty marshmallow, and she LOVED it and squealed for more. It was getting dark, but I attempted pictures. I love string of gooey marshmallow between her & Max.
We also roasted hot dogs, made pudgy pies, had sandwiches, and made yummy breakfasts each morning. Unfortunately, due to spoiled meat, we did NOT get to make hamburgers or pork chops. Instead, we visited the local Burger King and Subway…but we appreciated the a/c and icy cold drinks! ;)
Just a few more pictures of our spunky little girl exploring the camper:

The 2006-08 commodity price boom was one of the longest and broadest of the post-WWII period. The price boom emerged in the mid-2000s after nearly three decades of low and declining commodity prices (see figure). The long-term decline in real prices had been especially marked in food and agriculture. Between 1975-76 and 2000-01, world food prices declined by 53 percent in real US-dollar terms. Such price declines raised concerns, especially with regard to the welfare of poor agricultural producers. In fact, one of the Doha Round's chief motives (and also one of its perceived main obstacles) was the reduction of agricultural support and trade barriers in high-income countries—a set of reforms that was expected to induce increases in commodity prices and hence improve the welfare of low-income commodity producers. Starting in the mid-2000s, however, most commodity prices reversed their downward course, eventually leading to an unprecedented commodity price boom.
Source: World Bank, Development Prospects Group
Between 2003 and 2008, nominal prices of energy and metals increased by 230 percent, those of food and precious metals doubled, and those of fertilizers increased fourfold. The boom reached its zenith in July 2008, when crude oil prices averaged US$ 133/barrel, up 94 percent from a year earlier. Rice prices doubled within just five months of 2008, from US$ 375/ton in January to $757/ton in June. The price surge led to a various heated debates on its causes and its consequences, including the role of biofuels, speculation, policy reactions, and, most importantly, whether high agricultural prices are beneficial or harmful to the poor. A paper we just published* revisits the causes of the boom and reaches a number of interesting conclusions. The paper is part of a larger project that examines the issue high food prices and poverty. Key results of the project will be published soon in a book edited by Ataman Aksoy and Bernard Hoekman, Food Prices and Rural Poverty,Center of Economic and Policy Research, 2010.
Apart from strong and sustained economic growth, the price boom was fueled by numerous factors including low past investment in extractive commodities, weak dollar, fiscal expansion and lax monetary policy in many countries, and investment fund activity. On the other hand, the combination of adverse weather conditions, the diversion of some food commodities to the production of biofuels, and government policies (including export bans and prohibitive taxes) brought global stocks of many food commodities down to levels not seen since the early 1970s, created a "perfect storm" further accelerating the price increases that eventually led to the 2008 rally. The weakening and/or reversal of these factors coupled with the financial crisis that erupted in September 2008 and the subsequent global economic downturn, induced sharp price declines across most commodity sectors. Yet, the main price indices are still twice as high compared to their 2000 real levels, begging once more the question about the real factors affecting them.
The paper concludes that a stronger link between energy and non-energy commodity prices has been the dominant factor in the boom of agricultural and food prices, and is likely to be the dominant influence on developments in commodity, and especially food, markets. The analysis shows that demand by emerging economies, often cited as a key factor behind the food price surge of 2008, in fact it was much less of a factor than is often sited. The paper also argues that the effect of biofuels on food prices has not been as large as originally thought. On the other hand, the use of commodities by financial investors (the so-called 'financialization of commodities') may have been partly responsible for the 2007/08 spike. Finally, econometric analysis of the long-term evolution of commodity prices supports the view that price variability overwhelms price trends. This conclusion implies that suggested policy actions essentially aiming to alleviate the impacts of price spikes on developing countries through reliance on some level of buffer stocks (whether physical or virtual) risk resproducing the failure of previous collective measures designed to prevent the decline or reduce the variability of prices.

I have a GC8 on 17x9 +35 RPF1s 225/45 and im trying to find out if ill have to add spacers to add enough camber to lower it. I have Megan Coils also.
If I add 3mm spacers will i be able to get -3 to -4 front & Back with a tough Roll n Pull? Or will i even need spacers at all? i just want to lower enough to get rid of gap and tuck just a little bit. i still need function with my car being over 400awhp haha
Last edited by RetroNome; 05-13-2016 at 03:35 AM.
Not really getting what you're trying to say.
But from what I've gathered 225/45 on a 9 is little to no stretch, and +35 on a GC will require a roll and pull. You'll probably need a good amount of camber to to tuck properly. You won't need spacers if your goal is to tuck slight tire but be flush and still have a good amount of functionality
Guys just looking for some help I wanna change from my previous set up i am currently running 17x8 et40 with a 25mm spacer up front and a 40mm on the rear but I wanna run a set of 18's, now the fitment I have is perfect "for me" and want to have the same just running a larger rim and no spacers. I'm guessing with the spacers I was running 17x8 et15 F and et0R is that correct? I am looking at 18x9.5 et18 square I'm guessing I may need to run a rear spacer 15-20mm but is that a lot more than what I was running on the front? I have no way to test fit and the new rims I kinda pricey so don't wanna purchase and be unable to use. I would appreciate any helps or tips... Ta

Are you asking how the new specs would play out in relation to what you're currently running?
If you want to do some compare and contrast try looking into willtheyfit.com
You can put in your old specs and your new ones to see how they differ.
Hope this helps!
I have a 2009 STi that is still completely stock. My plans are to put it on bags so I can still take it up the mountain, etc. For car meets Id like to be able to air it out and have the fender tuck in between the tire and the rim. Im prepared to roll/pull the fenders, but Im stuck on how to measure for the "wrong" wheel size. I really like the look of the Rotiform IND-T wheels.
Just wondering if Im on the right track with my measurements. My stock wheels are 18x8.5 +55
An 18x9.5 +25 would push the wheel out by 1.68 inches (42.7mm) compared to stock.
A 19x10 +40 would push the wheel out by 1.34 inches (34mm) compared to stock.
Thanks, that helps out a ton

AllRecipes.com DinnerSpinner by cjvitek For more Forum Reviews, see the TiPb iPhone App Store Forum!
Hey, let's use Urban Spoon to pick a restaurant to go to.
Nah, I want to cook tonight. Let's use DinnerSpinner!
DinnerSpinner is an app based on the same idea as Urban Spoon. It let's you spin (or shake the iPhone) to choose various criteria to match recipes. You can match recipes based on three categories: dish type (main course, bread, cookies, dessert, etc), ingredients (beef, chocolate, fruit, legumes, etc), and preparation time (less than 20 minutes, slow cooker, over an hour, etc). Based on the criteria you "spin" (or select manually) you will get a variety of matching recipes to look through.
Now, before I go any further, yes, sometimes you may get something like "slow cooking cookies made with beef" - and you won't get any matches.
So once you get your matches (in my example, I am using desserts with fruit in 45 minutes or less) you then hit the button to see your recipe matches. In my example, I got 45 matching recipes. You are taken to a page that shows the recipe name, the reviews (presumably from Allrecipes.com), who submitted the recipe, and a quick, two or three sentence description of the recipe. It also shows a picture of the recipe, which can be nice. To go to the next option, just swipe the screen.
Note, recipes are not exclusive. In my example, I got many recipes that were cookies, even though I had chosen dessert (not cookies) as the dish type. I also got recipes that included chocolate as a ingredient - so recipes are cross listed, which is nice to know.
If you see a recipe you like, you can choose to send it to someone via email (with the share button). You can also click on the "view recipe/reviews" to see the recipe or read the reviews. I like the fact they have various reviews of the recipe - you can read what other people thought about it.
The recipe itself includes a list of ingredients, the "summary" you read when scanning the recipes, how many servings and how long it takes, and the directions for cooking. Since the recipes are submitted by people, my guess is that the quality of directions may vary somewhat. You also get the nutritional information, and the "file" ends with some of the reviews of the recipe. If you want to read more that the first ten reviews, or you want to browse more recipes, there is a button at the bottom of the page to go to Allrecipes.com directly.
Please note, you are accessing the internet when using this app, so you need to have a data connection - the recipes are not downloaded onto your phone until you look at it. I am not sure how many recipes are found at AllRecipes.com, but in what I thought was an obscure category (bread made with veggies in 45 minutes or less) I found 20 recipes, so my guess is there are a fair number of options.
Some problems with the app. First of all, you can't "lock in" a category. If you want to cook dinner, for example, you might want to lock in "main course" as the dish type. Or if you have a pound of ground beef, you might want to lock in "beef" as an ingredient.
Also, you can't choose multiple items within a category. For example, you can't look at main courses made with fish or pork, it is only one or the other. Lastly, there is no way to simply browse through all the recipes (either in all groups, or within a category - browsing all pork recipes, for example). IMO, these are pretty important things for a cook book or recipe bank to allow. The concept of "spinning" is fun to play with, but a really useful cookbook should allow these various changes.
- Fun way to approach a cookbook,
- lots of recipes available
- No ability to limit options or to choose multiple options
All in all, I think this is sort of a fun app to use. It adds a little variety and fun to choosing a recipe to use, although I really think being able to "lock" a category is essential. There are a wide range of choices for the categories, so you can be very specific (if you want) about what you want to cook. This app is free, so if it is something you think you might want to try, give it a shot!

|The Score Artists @ Work Member Directory Premier Partners Seminar Downloads SCL Videos NY Home Forum Ambassador Program Mentor Program Hall of Fame In Memoriam Lifetime Achievement Emerging Composer
Henry Mancini
... first found success with his music for television's PETER GUNN and almost immediately became a sought-after film composer, winning a pair of Oscars for the BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY's score and its song "Moon River."
Mancini's boundless gift for melody resulted in memorable theme songs for such films as DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, CHARADE and TWO FOR THE ROAD, all of which became popular outside of their original movie contexts. His shrewd understanding of the record business also enabled him to achieve success with nearly two dozen soundtrack and popular-music albums throughout the 1960s and '70s. He won 20 Grammy Awards and was nominated another 50 times.
His long professional association with director Blake Edwards became the longest-running composer-director collaboration in Hollywood, spanning more than two dozen films over three decades, including the seven PINK PANTHER movies and such popular successes as "10" and the Oscar-winning musical VICTOR/VICTORIA.
Mancini's success in the light-comedy and romantic realms belied his abilities as a dramatic composer, as evidenced by his suspenseful music for EXPERIMENT IN TERROR and WAIT UNTIL DARK; the melancholy Irish colors of THE MOLLY MAGUIRES, the whaling music of THE WHITE DAWN and the grimly powerful score for the science-fiction LIFEFORCE. Beloved by everyone who knew and worked with him, he died of cancer in 1994.

Grilled Zucchini Salad
Here is my 3rd zucchini recipe for the summer. This is a salad I've been making for ages. It's simple, crisp and puts a smile on my face every time I serve it. You can easily switch it by using a medley of different vegetables - and can hold off on the chili if you don't enjoy the spice. I'm happy to say that my tolerance to spiciness has somewhat improved...somewhat that is! Oliver has tried, tried and tried again to increase my tolerance to spice, with some success, but sadly I can't compete with his.
Out for Vietnamese pho soup, he has the habit of adding hot sauce until his eyes happily water. He definitely enjoys it that way - and I.. well, I just watch. A little dried chili in fresh summery salad though, I can take!
Grilled Zucchini Salad (serves 4)
2 zucchinis
½ lemon, zest and juice
A small pinch of dried chili
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 small handful of fresh mint leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Cut the zucchini in thin strips. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, chili and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Spoon half of this vinaigrette onto the strips of zucchini. Set your BBQ or indoor grill to medium high heat. Grill the strips for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Add the zucchini to the serving bowl and drizzle with the extra vinaigrette. Coarsely chop the mint and add to the salad. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

The dramatic advances in modern fluorophore technology are exemplified by the Alexa Fluor dyes. These sulfonated rhodamine derivatives exhibit higher quantum yields for more intense fluorescence emission than spectrally similar probes, and have several additional improved features, including enhanced photostability, absorption spectra matched to common laser lines, pH insensitivity, and a high degree of water solubility. In fact, the resistance to photobleaching of Alexa Fluor dyes is so dramatic that even when subjected to irradiation by high-intensity laser sources, fluorescence intensity remains stable for relatively long periods of time in the absence of antifade reagents. This feature enables the water soluble Alexa Fluor probes to be readily utilized for both live-cell and tissue section investigations, as well as in traditional fixed preparations.
The single rat kangaroo kidney epithelial cell that appears in the digital image presented above was resident in a culture fluorescently labeled with Texas Red conjugated to the enzyme DNase I, targeting globular (unpolymerized) actin. The specimen was also labeled for filamentous actin with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin, and for nuclear DNA with DAPI. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

General Comments: Futures closed lower in response to news of big production potential in Brazil and disappointing economic data from China. Traders remain bearish on supplies, especially from Brazil, and this has hurt New York prices. The ISO is still calling for a production surplus of up to 8.5 million tons this year. Traders are keeping an eye on developments in Brazil and expect big production as the harvest moves forward. Brazil mills could concentrate on Ethanol production first and Sugar production second, and that could create some short term shortages for the market. Sugar producers in Russia said that the planting pace has turned slow there as producers wrestle with high costs of production against falling domestic and world prices. Chart patterns are mixed for the short term.
Overnight News: Mostly dry conditions are expected in Brazil. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 1725, 1710, and 1680 July, and resistance is at 1780, 1800, and 1835 July. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 497.00, 496.00, and 491.00 August, and resistance is at 510.00, 513.00, and 516.00 August.
General Comments: Futures were lower in response to disappointing economic data released here and in China. Demand for clothes could be cut due to less than expected data, and this hurt cotton futures. Rains are moving through the Delta and Southeast through this weekend to slow planting progress, and Texas is turning cold again. Weather will be watched as more wet weather in the Delta and Southeast could create less interest in Corn and more in Cotton to avoid having Corn pollinate in the hottest time of the year. So far, planting of all crops is slow. Short term trends are trying to turn down.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see rains through the weekend. Temperatures will average near to above normal today, then near to below normal. Texas will get mostly dry weather, but a few showers are expected today. Temperatures will average below normal. The USDA spot price is now 78.91 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.517 million bales, from 0.516 million yesterday. ICE said that delivery notices were 19 contracts today and now total 545 contracts for the month. USDA said that net Upland Cotton export sales were 314,400 bales this year and 87,500 bales next year. Net Pima sales were 9,600 bales this year and 100 bales next year.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are mixed. Support is at 82.85, 82.20, and 81.70 July, with resistance of 84.90, 85.20, and 86.30 July.

|What began as a moment to take stock and ponder where to go from there has now become a very different entity. People from the Communist Party, from CrossRoads, from the Democratic Socialists of America, from NCIPA [National Committee for Independent Political Action], from Solidarity, from the Socialist Organizing Network and many others, including independent leftists and independent socialists, have come together here in Berkeley.
Criticizing U.S. actions in the First Gulf War, Mitchell stated,
|progressive forces were nearly powerless in the face of an onslaught of demagogic, patriotic jingoism and yellow ribbons. This war, fought for no legitimate reason, was the crowning height of President [George H.W.] Bush's New World Order. Previously, the Soviet Union helped to provide a certain balance to rein in the crazies in this country. Now, that balance is no longer there. It is now up to us, the American people, to rein in our own crazies. The left must take a major responsibility in organizing this task.
Former congressional investigator Herbert Romerstein said the CCDS has "a close working relationship with the Stalinist remnants in the former East Germany, now called the Party of Democratic Socialism..." Romerstein points out these were the people who ran the concentration camps and the Communist Party apparatus in East Germany.

Letting the cat out of the bag
Aware of the growing concerns doctors have about yet another tranche of NHS reforms, Andrew Lansley has been desperately trying to get his grim message across as best he can. In recent weeks Dr Grumble has been unable to escape the Health Secretary who seems to be on both radio and TV at every opportunity. Hands-off Dave seems to be so worried that he has been trying to use his clout to bail out the hapless Health Secretary. It does not help that they have not really been honest with us. That creates suspicion.
There are a great many very reasonable concerns about Lansley's plans. Foremost in the minds of many would be why we need yet another reorganisation. We all know that, even if reorganisations work, there is usually a fall-off in performance before any improvement. And a lot of money is wasted on the reorganisation itself.
To create even more suspicion there is the perception that Andrew Lansley has been beavering away largely on his own with his misguided grand plan for the NHS. It certainly does rather seem to have been sprung on us all - including, perhaps, our prime minister. Given this background, it was not unreasonable for a specialist trainee to have asked Mr Lansley the following question:
In such times of financial austerity, why are you ring-fencing several billion pounds for yet more structural reform of the NHS?
To Dr Grumble it seems a perfectly reasonable question. It would have been quite possible for GPs to have been much more involved in commissioning without this level of upheaval. So what is the real purpose of such a costly change? While Dr Grumble does know the real purpose of the reorganisation, Mr Lansley's actual answer was something of a surprise. The interview is available only to doctors so presumably he knows that we, unlike most of the public, know what this is really about.
So here is Lansley's answer to what appears to Grumble to be a perfectly reasonable, innocent question without any side whatsoever:
Yeah, well, I can see where that question is from. It's called public good private bad and, um, you know, it's not quite like that actually....
So there you have it. In response to a question that was not in any way about privatisation but about the costs of the reorganisation, the cat is let out of the bag. Money is being set aside to privatise the NHS.
When it comes to privatisation of the NHS the ConDems, following New Labour's example, talk in riddles. The reason is that they don't actually want the public to know what this is all about. That's why the Lansley plans appear to have come out of the blue. They did not want the electorate to know what they had in mind until they had been elected - which is not very democratic really.
Dr Grumble has been aware of what all the parties have been planning for our NHS for years. At one time nobody believed him. Now it is too late to do anything about it.
Why don't politicians practise what they preach: no decision about us without us?
Interview given by Andrew Lansley to dnuk in November 2010

CNBC Host 'Outs' Apple CEO Tim Cook as Gay...Things Get Awkwardly Quiet
Oh dear.
Things got really awkward during CNBC's Squawk On The Street when one of the show's co-hosts accidentally outed Apple CEO Tim Cook as gay. Cook's alleged sexual orientation has been discussed by many media outlets, but he's yet to publicly acknowledge it.
From Mediaite:
New York Times columnist James R. Stewart joined the panel to discuss his latest piece profiling John Browne, the former CEO of BP, and his "tortured life" living as the gay chief executive of a Fortune 500 company. "You'd think CEOs especially are measured by objective criteria, financial performance," Stewart said, and yet there's a corporate culture that prevents powerful gay men from going public.
"There are gay CEOs in major companies, and I reached out to many of them," he informed the hosts. "I got an extremely cool reception, not one would allow to be named at all."
Enter co-host Simon Hobbs: "I think Tim Cook is fairly open about the fact he's gay at the head of Apple, isn't he?"
Silence from the panel. Everyone turned to look at Stewart, who responded, "Hmm, no."
"Oh, dear, was that an error?" Hobbs asked. "I thought he was open about it."
After shaking his head in disappointment with Hobbs, Stewart said: "I don't want to comment about anybody who might or might not be. I'm not going to out anybody."
Despite long-standing assertions that Cook is gay, the CEO has neither publicly confirmed nor denied the fact.
If anything, this just reinforces why it's important for individuals to be open. Many will argue that "it's not a big deal" or "it's not news" that someone's gay, but it continues to be a big deal when one's sexuality is treated as a taboo topic that can't be mentioned.
The silence here was deafening.
(H/T: Mediaite)
John Browne has written a book called "The Glass Closet: Why Coming Out is Good Business." I don't get it. What's all the awkward silence about? Doesn't something confirmed in black-and-white carry more weight than this CEO verbally acknowledging it here and there? The book came out on June 17th, so hopefully this interview was after that fact.
Because it is NOT your or anyone else job to tell someone that another person is gay or not. If a gay person wants everyone to know then THEY will tell the people they want to know. Lets say for the sake of argument that Tim cook has not made his private life public, and now this person has said he's gay. No matter what Mr. cook says will convince anyone else that he is not gay. If he is not, and comes out, and says he is not gay then people will think he is liying, and then no one will trust him. Even if someone has shouted it from the roof top that they are gay. It is NOT your place to tell others. When I came out I only told my absolute trusted of friends.
A book is a statement an opinion not a mandate. Who is anyone to instruct anyone else on how to conduct their life and since when is it ok to throw around someone's name as though their rights as an individual do not apply. Quit putting you values on others. Let him speak for himself...when he chooses to. You don't know him like that to speak for him or his life.
A person is hired for his experience and expertise to fulfill the job description for the benefit of the company. His personal life has nothing to do with the hiring process and everyone's life experiences, the environment in which they were raised, personal beliefs and their sense of self determines how they wish to deal with this issue...not any of us or the media. I found it extremely unprofessional of the journalist to blurt out something that he himself does not know for certain to be true or verified as the other journalist on the panel pointed out.
Mark, that is not fair. As it turns out, Tim Cook has talked opening about his sexuality... publicly. As a gay man, if I made it a point to come out, and someone references me in a positive light, why would we fire him? The awkwardness started when Jim Stewart shut down.... He made it into the non issue it was. So before we start judging people based on a snip it of an interview, how about we gather all the facts first?
"If anything, this just reinforces why it's important for individuals to be open."
Um, why is that? So nobody feels "uncomfortable" for putting their foot in their mouths? Whether or not someone wants to confirm their heterosexuality or homosexuality, or talk about their lifestyle in anyway is a PERSONAL CHOICE. No one--hetero, homo, or otherwise, owes it to anyone to confirm this.
There is also an argument, quite valid, that an officer of a public company has a duty to stockholders to do NOTHING that might call attention to himself to some customers or suppliers who would judge him unfavorably, and thus possibly hurt the business.
Tim does not hide, but he does not speak of it. Maybe we can move to thinking of being Gay as just another fact of life -- no one makes a big deal that a CEO is getting a divorce, unless the mate is suing to for control of the company.
I wish everyone could be out -- but, in Tim's case, everybody at Apple knows him, so he is certainly not hiding.
"There is also an argument, quite valid, that an officer of a public company has a duty to stockholders to do NOTHING that might call attention to himself to some customers or suppliers who would judge him unfavorably, and thus possibly hurt the business."
Really? That's another way of stating an officer should do nothing at all. Someone, somewhere is going to be offended by some choice. It's not possible to live this way, nor should it be a goal to do so. In other words, you can't please everyone.

Make It Count
Mailboxes jammed with appeals from charities you've donated to in the past — and others that hope to add you to their list of benefactors — is a sure sign the holidays are approaching.
The holiday season is prime fundraising time for charities, says Sandra Miniutti, vice president of Charity Navigator. In fact, nonprofits receive 40 percent of their contributions between Thanksgiving and New Year's, according to Charity Navigator research.
"Part of it has to do with the altruistic feelings that come with the religious holidays," says Miniutti. "But also, people are coming to the end of the calendar year. They know how their personal finances performed and if they'll have any money leftover to make a contribution. Also, they have to make the contribution by the end of the year if they want to get the tax deduction."
Tax incentives are a huge driver of gift giving. In fact, Miniutti says, charities see the biggest donor traffic on Dec. 31. "There are a whole lot of people making contributions at the last minute," she says.
After all, if you can save money on your taxes while supporting a cause that's dear to your heart, that's a win-win. Here's how to maximize your giving — both for you personally and for the charity you support.
Know Your Charity
First, make sure that the charity you are donating to actually does the work you think it does. For example, some charities exist solely to fund research into a problem or disease. Others raise money to help those directly impacted by it. Before clicking the "donate" button on a charity's website, read their "About" and "Mission" pages to make sure your donation is going where you want it to go. Also Google the charity's name to read news reports and check its rating on a site such as Charity Navigator or GuideStar, both of which evaluate charities based on their financial reports and tax filings.
For large charities that have many missions, you can designate how you want your donation used — for a specific program or research, for example. However, while this is an option, charities aren't big fans of being told exactly how to spend their donor dollars. It takes away the flexibility they need to fund the areas of greatest need.
"If you love a charity and you love what they do, give them unrestricted money," says Eileen Heisman, president and CEO of The National Philanthropic Trust. "A lot of Baby Boomers and Millennials always talk about wanting to give to projects, but the hardest money to raise is the money for staff training, the money to make sure the computers are current, the money to make sure that people have chairs that aren't broken and the money to keep the lights on. It's some of the most important money and very hard money for charities to raise."
Be a Loyal Giver
Instead of picking a new batch of charities to donate to each year, pick a couple of charities you care deeply about and support them for the long term, says Heisman. From the charity's perspective, it's more cost effective for them to receive one $250 gift from one donor than five $50 gifts from five donors because one donor requires less administrative cost than five. And by staying around year after year, you're also saving them money on outreach. "If you like what they're doing and you stick around, you're saving them on fundraising and overhead costs because finding new donors is actually really expensive," says Heisman.
So research your charities, pick a few that fit your values and then give generously and regularly.
Know Your Income Tax Bracket
Take a look at your earnings for the year. Are you close to (or have you) jumped up into a higher tax bracket? (To find out, ask your accountant or click here.) If so, it's possible that by increasing your charitable giving, a deductible expense, you could bump yourself down into a lower tax bracket. This would equate to paying less taxes overall.
"We want to know the tax bracket first because if they are close to jumping up into a higher tax bracket, they can choose to do a charitable gift, reduce their income by that and then stay in the lower tax bracket," says Susan Conrad, lead retirement plan advisor for Plancorp in St. Louis, Mo.
For example, if you're currently in the 28 percent tax bracket (a range of $85,650 to $178,650 for a single person), a charitable contribution that brings your taxable income below the $85,650 figure drops you down to the 25 percent tax bracket, which reduces your overall tax liability.
Think Beyond Cash
If you have a stock that has done well, instead of selling it and paying capital gains tax, use it to lower your tax bracket, thus reducing your tax liability. For example, if you bought a stock for $5,000 and now it's worth $10,000, if you sold it you'd have to pay capital gains on your profit. However, if instead you gift that stock to a charity, you can take the full value of the stock as a deduction.
"Then no one pays the capital gains tax," says Larry LeGrand, CPA with PlanCorp. "You as the individual have made a gift and done it in the most tax-efficient manner by avoiding capital gains and getting the full benefit of the deduction."
To do this, you must have owned the security for at least a year, LeGrand says. And be mindful of the markets — you can only deduct the value of the stock on the day it was donated.
Consider a Donor-Advised Fund
If you received a windfall this year — maybe an inheritance, hefty bonus or your business sealed a huge deal right before the holidays — consider taking a portion of your income and putting it in a donor-advised fund. By doing so, you don't have to decide right away which charity to donate to, but you get the immediate tax benefits as if you had made a charitable donation.
"What that fund does is that it allows you to say, 'I'm going to put $50,000 in the fund,'" says Conrad. "I get the tax deduction for the entire $50,000 in 2013 because it's the year that I established the fund. But then, over a period of time I get to dictate in whatever increment, how much I pay per year and who it goes to. So, in 2014 I could say, "I want to send $10,000 to the American Red Cross or $10,000 to the United Way.' You decide where it goes."
However, donations must go to certified 501(c)3 charities (your child's college fund, while an altruistic goal, does not qualify). And once the money is in the fund, you cannot withdraw it as cash for your own purposes.
Say No to Cash
From an IRS perspective, check or credit card is the best way to make a charitable donation. This way you have a record of what you've donated in case you are ever audited. In fact, if you give more than $250 to any charity you need a letter from that group certifying the donation as proof.
"If you were called by the IRS to justify your charitable deductions, you've got to show the canceled checks and the letter or you've got to show the receipt, the stock coming out of your brokerage account and the letter from the charity," says LeGrand. "You need both pieces of documentation."
So whether it's your church or a community fundraiser, never throw cash in the collection box unless you can be assured of a receipt.

Windsor (Nova Scotia)
Windsor [2] is a city in Nova Scotia.
Windsor was settled in 1685 by the Acadian French, who built a network of dikes along the rivers. Windsor has always been a meeting place, first for the Mi'kmaqs, then the Acadians, and later the English gentry.
Windsor became a permanent English settlement in 1749. Its strategic location prompted the British to build Fort Edward. The Blockhouse is the only structure remaining from the original Fort and it is the oldest structure of its kind in North America. Fort Edward is a National Historic Site.
Windsor quickly became a favourite locale of the British gentry, particularly with those living in Halifax. The area's growth and prosperity was heavily affected by this influential collection of politicians, merchants and military officers from Halifax. In fact, Windsor was such a popular "get-a-way" for people in the provincial capital that it became known as "The Athens of Nova Scotia".
Shortly after the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists from New England in 1783, Kings College was established in Windsor, in 1788. Kings College was the first independent school in Canada, and today is a world-renowned co-educational preparatory school.
Windsor was for many years a bustling seaport and shipbuilding centre. Between 1840 and 1890, shipbuilding was the most prominent factor in the economy of Windsor.
Windsor is recognized as the "birthplace" of hockey and represents an inextricable part of Windsor's heritage and culture. In his book Attache, Windsor's own Thomas Chandler Haliburton, generally regarded as the father of North American humor, alluded to a form of hockey being played by the students of King's College, now King's-Edgehill School.
The passage from the Haliburton book, which deals in part with memories of his days at King's in the early 1800s, is believed to be the earliest written reference to the game we now know as hockey, and goes as follows:
"the boys let out racin', yelpin', hollerin' and whoopin' like mad with pleasure... with games at base in the fields, or hurley on the long pond on the ice..."
The students from King's-Edgehill School today still play hockey at the Cradle of Hockey on the Dill Family Farm. There have been many re-enactments of games of hurley-on-ice, "back of the college woods" on the pond. The students at King's still use the same path today that their predecessors would have used some 200 years ago.
It's also known that the British troops stationed at Windsor's Fort Edward in the early 1800s took up the game of hurley-on-ice, which evolved into the great Canadian game of hockey. In fact, it's said that a Colonel John Hockey actually served at Fort Edward.
Get in[edit]
The closest airport to Windsor is Halifax International Airport in Halifax.
Windsor is approximately 45 minutes by car from Halifax. To get to Windsor from Halifax, take Highway 101 West and get off at exit 5A or exit 6. (The Visitor Center is located at exit 6.) Windsor can also be accessed via Highway 1, also known as the Evangeline Trail, which goes right through the center of town.

Egypt's central bank set new exchange-rate movement limits for the interbank market as Governor Hisham Ramez, who took office yesterday, seeks to curb the worst currency slump since the 2003 devaluation.
Starting today, the pound can move by a maximum of 1 piaster against the U.S. dollar from the weighted average exchange rate at the most-recent dollar auction, instead of the previous 0.5% band, according to central bank regulations e-mailed to lenders and seen by Bloomberg News. There are 100 piasters to the pound.
The currency has weakened 7.6% to a record since the central bank started selling dollars at auctions on Dec. 30, limiting the amount each bank can buy to stem the worst decline in foreign-currency reserves since 2004. The falling pound is one of the biggest challenges facing Ramez, a former deputy central bank governor who joined the regulator after a brief stint as Managing Director of Commercial International Bank Egypt SAE, the country's biggest publicly traded lender.
"The move is part of the central bank's efforts to limit depreciation," Anthony Simond, who helps manage $11 billion in emerging-market debt at Aberdeen Asset Management Plc in London, said by phone. "But no matter what the central bank does, the depreciation trend will be hard to stop."
Auction Results
The central bank sold $73.1 million at today's auction at a weighted average bid price of 6.6920 a dollar, with banks receiving on average 28% of the currency they sought. The pound strengthened 0.2% to 6.7020 at 3:27 p.m. in Cairo, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Reserves have plunged almost 60% since the 2011 uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak as foreign investors sold government securities anticipating a devaluation. Investors held 1.7 billion pounds ($253 million) of treasury bills as of October compared with 59.3 billion pounds in December 2010, according to the most-recent central bank data.
The regulations also include capping the price at which banks can sell dollars to commercial clients at 1 piaster above the interbank rate and an additional 1 to 2 piasters for clients who need the currency for non-commercial purposes. That compares with the previous spread of as much as 3 piasters regardless of the purpose and a 1% commission that was applied to non- commercial clients.

The wait is over, the results have been tabulated and a phone call was made. That call was from American Speed Association President Dennis Huth to Cary Stapp of San Marcos, TX that he is the 2008 Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil ASA Member Track National Champion.
"You are kidding me," Stapp stated when Huth informed the 32-year-old competitor from Thunderhill Raceway located in Kyle, TX. "I have been waiting for this call since Saturday night. I knew what Linny White did and I got a little nervous that he may have passed me. I still don't believe this. I was sitting here working just waiting for the phone call and now I am pacing just wondering what I am going to do."
Stapp had a good reason to be concerned as he had a final point average of 5.1794 to White's 5.0947.
Stapp ended his 2008 championship run on a high note this past Saturday night as he won the 50-lap feature making it his eighth feature win and 15th top-five finish for the season in the ASA A-Line Super Stock division at Thunderhill.
Linny White, the Highland, CA driver who competes at Orange Show Speedway in San Bernardino, CA, did everything he could to overtake Stapp in the championship race as he took home a win and a second place finish in their twin 50-lap feature events this past Saturday night. He also set a new track record in qualifying as well.
White started shotgun on the field in both feature events to attempt to overtake Stapp in the overall standings, but came up short.
The last few days haven't been easy for Stapp as he was hoping to get the phone call. The 32-year-old electrician considers racing as a hobby and never thought he would get an opportunity like the ASA Member Track Championship will give him. That chance being a tryout with Joe Gibbs Racing.
"This is a once in a lifetime chance," Stapp stated as he was pacing back and forth at a job site. "I never thought that I would get to do something like this. Just being a local Texas guy, I never thought I would get a chance to show my talents to Joe Gibbs and his team."
"On behalf of Joe Gibbs Racing, we would like to congratulate Cary Stapp on being the first Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil ASA Member Track champion," JD Gibbs, Team President of Joe Gibbs Racing stated. "We are very proud to sponsor this season long event and look forward to giving Cary a chance to get behind the wheel of a Joe Gibbs Toyota and make the most of the opportunity."
Circle Track Magazine will follow the new champion around during his tryout with Joe Gibbs Racing and do a "Day in the Life of" feature story in an upcoming issue.
Stapp will be spending the rest of the day calling his family and friends. The first call will be to his wife Kelli, 13-year-old stepson Trey and 10-year-old daughter Mikala.
"I would like to thank my family; Chase, my brother and crew chief; and my dad Ed, who is also my car owner," Stapp stated. "Without your support, we would not be here today."
The Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil American Speed Association Member Track National Championship used a unique formula system to create the point averages for each driver. In order to be eligible for the championship, a driver must be a 2008 track champion and have the highest point average.
When you look at the overall top-ten, you will find representation from just about every part of the United States.
"I would like to congratulate Cary, his family and his team for being the first ASA Member Track National Champion. I also would like to congratulate Thunderhill Raceway for being the home track of our first champion," Huth stated. "He will make a great champion and will be a great representative of what local racing is all about."
"This championship could not be accomplished without the help of Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil for their sponsorship. A big thanks goes to Joe Gibbs Racing for the opportunity that Cary will receive and all the ASA Member Tracks that participated in this new and exciting championship program," Huth continued to say. "Also, this championship points system is a positive feat following the hard work of Kevin Spiddle and his staff at speednetdirect.com. They created this formula and we can honestly say that it worked well and completely up to our expectations. We look forward to many new and innovative plans and ideas for years to come."

The one on the right isn't specific for any one language. The one on the left shows how the IPA has been adjusted to represent a specific accent of English. I'm not sure, but I'd guess the following:
Central a for "father" and "bother" and "hot."
Backer and round ɒ for "taut" and "cloth."
ɔː for "boat."
ʌ is "put," but it's in a mouth position usually notated with ɐ
Maybe Inland Northern? Where did you find that chart?

So as promised in an earlier post (Drop And Give Me Twenty), I've enlisted David and Cameron in a massive de-cluttering, deep cleaning project that will be a weekly event until school starts up again in September. Today we (I use "we" in the sense of "pretty much mostly me") tackled Justin and Alex's bedroom.
I'm happy to report that every headless, wingless, or big punching handless action figure, every doll who looks like she needs an appointment with the prosthetics lab, every book with missing pages, and almost every toy that once shared its living quarters with french fries now has a one-way ticket to the landfill.
And multiple bags of age 3 and under toys and clothes went to P.R.O.P. and will hopefully live to see another day. It's just like Toy Story 3, only not funny and cute. Or heartwarming. And it doesn't have Tom Hanks. Or John Ratzenberger. Or a metrosexual Michael Keaton Ken doll. Other than that, it's exactly the same.
Next stop will be Cameron's room. That will be exactly like Scream. Only scarier.
Gonna take it right into the danger zone.
