"Who exactly is in the stupid-shit caucus?
Who is pro–stupid shit?"
"The truth is, actually, Putin, in all of our meetings, is scrupulously polite, very frank. Our meetings are very businesslike. He never keeps me waiting two hours like he does a bunch of these other folks...
He's constantly interested in being seen as our peer and as working with us, because he's not completely stupid. He understands that Russia's overall position in the world is significantly diminished."
Obama's theory here is simple :
Ukraine is a core Russian interest but not an American one, so Russia will always be able to maintain escalatory dominance there.
Over the past year, John Kerry has visited the White House regularly to ask Obama to violate Syria's sovereignty. On several occasions, Kerry has asked Obama to launch missiles at specific regime targets, under cover of night, to "send a message" to the regime. The goal, Kerry has said, is not to overthrow Assad but to encourage him, and Iran and Russia, to negotiate peace….Obama has steadfastly resisted Kerry's requests, and seems to have grown impatient with his lobbying. In recent National Security Council meetings, Obama's strategy was occasionally referred to as the "Tom Sawyer approach." Obama's view was that if Putin wanted to expend his regime's resources by painting the fence in Syria, the U.S. should let him. By late winter, though, when it appeared that Russia was making advances in its campaign to solidify Assad's rule, the White House began discussing ways to deepen support for the rebels, though the president's ambivalence about more-extensive engagement remained.
Obama would say privately that the first task of an American president in the post-Bush international arena was "Don't do stupid shit." Obama's reticence frustrated [Samantha] Power and others on his national-security team who had a preference for action. Hillary Clinton, when she was Obama's secretary of state, argued for an early and assertive response to Assad's violence. In 2014, after she left office, Clinton told me that "the failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad … left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled." When The Atlantic published this statement, and also published Clinton's assessment that "great nations need organizing principles, and 'Don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle," Obama became "rip-shit angry," according to one of his senior advisers. The president did not understand how "Don't do stupid shit" could be considered a controversial slogan. Ben Rhodes recalls that "the questions we were asking in the White House were 'Who exactly is in the stupid-shit caucus? Who is pro–stupid shit?'?" The Iraq invasion, Obama believed, should have taught Democratic interventionists like Clinton, who had voted for its authorization, the dangers of doing stupid shit. (Clinton quickly apologized to Obama for her comments, and a Clinton spokesman announced that the two would "hug it out" on Martha's Vineyard when they crossed paths there later.).
'Friday, August 30, 2013[:] ….While the Pentagon and the White House's national-security apparatuses were still moving toward war (John Kerry told me he was expecting a strike the day after his speech), the president had come to believe that he was walking into a trap—one laid both by allies and by adversaries, and by conventional expectations of what an American president is supposed to do. In Situation Room meetings that followed the attack on Ghouta, only the White House chief of staff, Denis McDonough, cautioned explicitly about the perils of intervention. John Kerry argued vociferously for action."
[Samantha] Power sometimes argued with Obama in front of other National Security Council officials, to the point where he could no longer conceal his frustration. "Samantha, enough, I've already read your book," he once snapped. …Biden, who ordinarily shared Obama's worries about American overreach, argued passionately that "big nations don't bluff."
[Cameron of the UK and Saudi Ambassador Jubeir demanded an attack. But Germany's Merkel was opposed and refused to take part. When the British House of Commons also refused to go along, Obama paused.]
Obama also shared with McDonough a long-standing resentment: He was tired of watching Washington unthinkingly drift toward war in Muslim countries. Four years earlier, the president believed, the Pentagon had "jammed" him on a troop surge for Afghanistan. Now, on Syria, he was beginning to feel jammed again.
The prime minister of France, Manuel Valls, told me that his government was already worried about the consequences of earlier inaction in Syria when word came of the stand-down. "By not intervening early, we have created a monster," Valls told me. "We were absolutely certain that the U.S. administration would say yes. Working with the Americans, we had already seen the targets. It was a great surprise. If we had bombed as was planned, I think things would be different today." The crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, who was already upset with Obama for "abandoning" Hosni Mubarak, the former president of Egypt, fumed to American visitors that the U.S. was led by an "untrustworthy" president. The king of Jordan, Abdullah II—already dismayed by what he saw as Obama's illogical desire to distance the U.S. from its traditional Sunni Arab allies and create a new alliance with Iran, Assad's Shia sponsor—complained privately, "I think I believe in American power more than Obama does." The Saudis, too, were infuriated. They had never trusted Obama—he had, long before he became president, referred to them as a "so-called ally" of the U.S. "Iran is the new great power of the Middle East, and the U.S. is the old," Jubeir, the Saudi ambassador in Washington, told his superiors in Riyadh.
Amid the confusion, a deus ex machina appeared in the form of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. At the G20 summit in St. Petersburg, which was held the week after the Syria reversal, Obama pulled Putin aside, he recalled to me, and told the Russian president "that if he forced Assad to get rid of the chemical weapons, that that would eliminate the need for us taking a military strike." Within weeks, Kerry, working with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, would engineer the removal of most of Syria's chemical-weapons arsenal—a program whose existence Assad until then had refused to even acknowledge.
This was the moment the president believes he finally broke with what he calls, derisively, the "Washington playbook." I have come to believe that, in Obama's mind, August 30, 2013, was his liberation day, the day he defied not only the foreign-policy establishment and its cruise-missile playbook, but also the demands of America's frustrating, high-maintenance allies in the Middle East—countries, he complains privately to friends and advisers, that seek to exploit American "muscle" for their own narrow and sectarian ends. By 2013, Obama's resentments were well developed. He resented military leaders who believed they could fix any problem if the commander in chief would simply give them what they wanted, and he resented the foreign-policy think-tank complex. A widely held sentiment inside the White House is that many of the most prominent foreign-policy think tanks in Washington are doing the bidding of their Arab and pro-Israel funders. I've heard one administration official refer to Massachusetts Avenue, the home of many of these think tanks, as "Arab-occupied territory." [Leon Panetta was another hawk.]
He described a relationship with Putin that doesn't quite conform to common perceptions. I had been under the impression that Obama viewed Putin as nasty, brutish, and short. But, Obama told me, Putin is not particularly nasty. "The truth is, actually, Putin, in all of our meetings, is scrupulously polite, very frank. Our meetings are very businesslike. He never keeps me waiting two hours like he does a bunch of these other folks." Obama said that Putin believes his relationship with the U.S. is more important than Americans tend to think. "He's constantly interested in being seen as our peer and as working with us, because he's not completely stupid. He understands that Russia's overall position in the world is significantly diminished.
Obama's theory here is simple: Ukraine is a core Russian interest but not an American one, so Russia will always be able to maintain escalatory dominance there.
Right after Obama's reversal, Hillary Clinton said privately, "If you say you're going to strike, you have to strike. There's no choice."
Here is Prince Turki's attempted defense of the Kingdom:
'A top Saudi Arabian intelligence chief said on Monday that President Barack Obama failed to appreciate all that the kingdom has done to stabilize the Middle East, fight terrorism and support American priorities, hitting back after the president called Middle Eastern governments "free riders" on US initiatives. "You accuse us of fomenting sectarian strife in Syria, Yemen and Iraq," Turki al-Faisal, a Saudi prince and former ambassador to the United States and Britain, wrote in an open letter published Monday in the English-language Arab News. "You add insult to injury by telling us to share our world with Iran, a country that you describe as a supporter of terrorism." Al-Faisal's letter was a response to comments Obama made in a much-discussed interview with The Atlantic magazine in which Obama referred to the Saudis and other allies as "free riders" who push the United States to act but contribute little themselves. Obama has long been cooler toward the Saudis and other Arab allies than his predecessor, but his willingness to forcefully criticize them stunned many in Washington's foreign policy establishment.'

Officer Tina DeLong-Griswold, Sergeant Mark Renninger, Officer Greg Richards, and Officer Ronald Owens were shot and killed in an ambush style attack while sitting inside a coffee shop in Parkland.
All four officers had just finished a call and went to the coffee shop to complete paperwork. Sergeant Renninger, Officer Owens and Officer DeLong-Griswold were seated at a table, and Officer Richards was in line waiting to order coffee. The suspect entered the shop, walked directly over to the table where the three officers were sitting, drew a 9 mm handgun and shot Officer DeLong-Griswold, killing her. The suspect then shot Sergeant Renninger, killing him.
After shooting the two officers, the suspect's weapon jammed and he became involved in a physical fight with Officer Owens. During the struggle, the suspect drew a second weapon, a .38 caliber revolver and shot and killed Officer Owens. Officer Richards, hearing the shots, moved toward the suspect and became involved in physical fight with him. During the struggle, Officer Richards was able to shoot the suspect once in the torso, before the suspect was able to gain control of his weapon. The suspect then shot Officer Richards, killing him.
The suspect fled the location, prompting a two day manhunt. He was shot and killed by a Seattle police officer after the officer observed him near a stolen car. The officer attempted to take the suspect into custody, but the suspect refused to follow commands and attempted to flee, prompting the officer to fatally shoot him.
Officer DeLong-Griswold had served with the Lakewood Police Department for five years and had a total of fourteen years of law enforcement service. She is survived by her husband and two children.
We honor you, Tina DeLong-Griswold.

Project Monte1go's Suspension Upgrade - The Gripmeister
Introducing Project Monte1go: Our New Handling Car
Welcome to Project MONTE1gO. It's an unpronounceable name for a seemingly impossible goal: make a cornering car out of a big bag of old Detroit mush. One lateral g on the skidpad without rattling our fillings out of our heads on the highway or munching expensive tires with bizarre alignment specs is the goal. Pulling off this seemingly Herculean feat in a Camaro or Mustang, especially a newer one, is easy. Compared to our boat, they're lithe and have a ton of parts available. But in a chunk-style 30-year-old rolling oddball unibody slug like this? What were we thinking?
What we were thinking was, first and foremost, it's a challenge. A project isn't really a project if you know for certain that you can reach your goal, whatever it may be. Plus, it's a Merc, and we've been hearing forever that we don't pay any attention to them. We hope this is Merc enough for you. Plus, Cleveland motors haven't seen ink in a good, long time, and this car has one. Besides, not everyone has a Camaro or Mustang.... Part of our grand "Dare to be Different" push is to give hope to someone who only has a _____ [fill in the blank with whatever vehicle you own and that is never seen in a magazine like Hot Rod] and to show that there is hope.
Hot Rod doesn't talk much about handling, although we are moving toward the functional Pro Touring aesthetic as the wave of the future. Pro Touring-named by our cohorts at Chevy High Performance but embraced by HOT ROD long before the concept had a name-takes the same professional level of building as Pro Street, but it adds the elements of balance and driveability. With Pro Touring, the idea is that you really CAN have it all: today's performance and environmental friendliness combined with yesterday's style, updated into a modern-performing package to be driven on a daily basis. An overdrive tranny is coming, and we're still toying with fuel injection. Our ride has a bit of NASCAR flair by default; since David Pearson ran a Cyclone throughout the early '70s, it would be foolish not to capitalize on it somehow.
We purchased our car from its third owner for the princely sum of $750. It was shockingly original, down to the factory-spec single exhaust with the original muffler and crunched tailpipe, and it is now your author's daily driver. We learned of this original California car's existence via Rob Day and his '70-'71 Cyclone/Montego/Torino registry (HR01, 19 Glyn Drive, Newark, DE 19713; $2 for a newsletter), and we'll say it again: If you're into these cars, two bucks for a registry newsletter and its big classified section will net you more info, parts, and tips on these monsters than you can possibly stand.
You'll be seeing more of our Montego in the months to come. It will be a test mule for everything from seat installations to a hopped-up 351C. The suspension, the raison d'tre for the project, will come first: The front end will be installed this month, the subframe connectors and rear suspension in subsequent months-all with full instrumented testing. Vanities, such as paint, will follow. Stay tuned as we try to suck the stubble off of our cheeks.
Endless Grip, Coming Up! - Part One
Suspension tuning is an exact science, but to the uninitiated it seems more like a black art. Between spring rates, shock valving, sway bars, tires, caster, camber, toe-in, front-to-rear balance, and other variables, you can change one component and alter the entire feel and performance of your vehicle-for better or worse. Modern performance cars usually have things more or less dialed in from the factory, but there's still plenty of room for improvement; it's the older cars, which didn't handle well even when new and are worse now that its components are worn, that need the most help.
Our Montego has a 117-inch wheelbase, weighs 3,675 pounds (without driver), and has a crummy 59/41 weight distribution with the 351 Cleveland. Our goal is to pull 1 lateral g around a 200-foot skidpad. This means that the force exerted on the car sideways will be equal to the pull of gravity, which, of course, keeps it stuck on the ground. Plus, the package has to be street driveable: no rollcage, no weird tire alignments, and no 1,200-pound spring rates. Short of finding a '65 Galaxie to hack up for its front suspension (like the NASCAR boys did when they were running cars like these in the late '60s and early '70s), we'd need some very serious suspension work.
With the undersized 185/75R14 donuts howling for mercy and the rocker panels scraping tarmac, Motor Trend tester Mac DeMere coaxed our Montego to a 0.73g on the skidpad and made it through the slalom in 7.22 seconds at 56.5 mph. Despite 140,000 miles, crap tires, and a worn suspension, we chalked up those surprisingly good numbers to the car's w-i-d-e stance and 25 years of tire technology (even today's worn Blue Light Special rubber is better in the corners than yesterday's bias-plies).
One of the top suspension engineers for street and race GM and Ford cars is Doug Norrdin of Global West in Rialto, California. He's been making old Mustangs stick like glue to sandpaper for decades now, despite what many see as a complicated suspension arrangement. He's even made a '78 T-bird pull a 1.2 g. If he can do that, then 1 g should be no sweat with the Merc. The Montego's front-suspension components operate the same as just about every '64-'73 Mustang (a number of pieces are even interchangeable with the '71-'73), and as such, geometry tuning techniques transfer between lines. In other words, what we're doing to the Montego will work even better on your Mustang.
Norrdin has developed what he calls the Negative Roll system. Though the technology is no longer new, it merits some discussion. While cornering, the goal is to keep as much of the tire tread on the road as possible. The more tire on the pavement, the better your ultimate grip. Easy, right?
Not so fast. As you toss your stock suspended Ford into a hard lefthand turn, the right-front tire loads up. As the suspension compresses and the right-front tire goes up into the fender, the top of the tire leans out toward the fenderwell lip. This happens thanks to several factors: the tire sidewall rolling in under the rim as you turn, the lateral force of the body on the suspension telling it to move that way, and the geometry of the A-arms allowing the wheel and tire to point in that direction.
With the Negative Roll system, the geometry has been altered, so that while in the corner, the top of the loaded tire actually leans in toward the engine bay, which means that the tire maintains its full contact patch with the ground while under load. The top of the inside tire, meanwhile, leans out for maximum tire contact. This altered geometry compensates for all cornering forces generated by the chassis and suspension under load. Of course, if you have too much negative camber on a street application, you're running around on the inside edges of your tires, which is no good either. Street alignments and race alignments differ; a degree either way can make the difference between a cool daily ride and needing a new set of expensive tires in 5,000 miles.
Now, we all know the old Shelby trick of dropping the stock upper A-arm lower in the shock tower for improved handling. Norrdin takes that idea and goes one step further with his gorgeous tubular upper A-arm, which is at the heart of the Negative Roll package. Thanks to the geometry change and a proprietary drop in the shock towers, these pieces alone do much of the work. New ball joints and his exclusive Del-A-Lum bushings, plus new lower control arms boxed for strength and featuring spherical aircraft-quality bearings, complete the Global West hard parts.
The springs are stiff 750-pounders-more than you would think prudent for a street car. Frankly, we were horrified at the thought of replacing the factory coils with pieces that have nearly twice the wire diameter, imagining the damage they'd do to the ride. But Norrdin sought to soothe our fears by telling us, "In the old days, Trans Am cars ran 900-pound front springs.... Now, you can get the same grip using 500- to 600-pound front springs and a better ride thanks to advancements in suspension geometry."
Norrdin recommended Koni shocks (Koni was kind enough to custom-make a set of five-way units for us; trivia buffs will note that the Montego shock differs from a '71-'73 Mustang shock by a 3/8-inch longer housing) and an ADDCO 1 1/8-inch sway bar that we covered in a separate install in the July issue ("Belly Up to the Bar").
With just the Negative Roll kit, Konis, and the ADDCO bar, we generated a 0.77 lateral g, and, more telling, the Montego made it through the 600-foot slalom in 6.85 seconds at 61.5 mph. A 0.04g bump and an extra 5 mph through the cones, considering the miserable 185/75R14 tires, is a vast improvement; better still was the seat-of-the-pants difference that far outweighs the spike in the numbers. Frankly, we had more suspension than the tires could handle at this point; a car with proper tires to start with-even 60-series or 65-series 15s-would undoubtedly show a greater before-and-after difference. As a bonus, body roll was virtu-ally gone-the photos are far more dramatic than the story behind the wheel.
To recap the wheel and tire combo, the Wheel Vintiques Chevy-style Rallys (17x8 front with a 4 1/2-inch backspace, 17x10 rear with a 6-inch backspace) with black powdercoating and chrome lug nuts lend a feel of vintage NASCAR tough. We could have gone with lighter wheels to help our cause, but we think the steelie look just works here, and we're prepared to pay the weight penalty. For tires, we chose Michelin Pilot MXX3 rubber, 275/40ZR17 front and 315/35ZR17 rear. In our experience, Pilots are some of the finest all-purpose street-performance tires available-they're smooth, silent, and sticky. They fit fine without tubbing, rubbing, or fender-lip rolling.
With the Pilots we bolted on, pulled a stiff 0.90 g around our 200-foot pad and scooted through the slalom in 6.16 seconds at 67.5 mph. An extra degree of camber, an alignment that you can drive on every day, would probably net another hundredth or two on the skidpad and maybe another tenth through the slalom (we drove it with the alignment for the 14-inch tires due to time constraints).
We're very pleased with the skidpad number for now and realize that we'd be closer to the magic 1 g if we'd made these changes to a Mustang. Meanwhile, we have been informed that we now get through the slalom as fast as, or faster than, a new Corvette... at a fraction of the price. How many 3,900-pound daily drivers can say that?
Best of all, when the Konis are turned to full soft mode, the ride doesn't rattle your teeth. The ride is firm without being tiring, and it eats up most freeway expansion joints better than the worn suspension did when it was stock. Stiffly-sprung long-wheelbase cars are naturally smooth riding compared to short-wheelbase cars sprung similarly, and we must admit that the 750-pound front springs are deceiving: They keep things upright in the turns but allow just enough compliance on the highway. Plus you can still make 90-degree turns at speeds that would send an unmodified car understeering into oncoming traffic. The difference is dramatic and glorious.
We still have a long way to go before we hit our goal of 1 lateral g. Squeezing a couple more points out of the chassis is like squeezing a few more hundredths out of your engine: a lot more work for a small, if definite, result. See you next time for the subframe connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
When you convert video from a source that uses DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI (for example, a computer to a monitor), you will need to consider the difference between passive and active adapters.
If the source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (also known as DP++), then you can use a passive adapter because the source can perform the conversion. If the source does not support DP++, then you need to use an active converter, which includes additional chips to perform the conversion.
Thunderbolt ports support DP++ natively. To run multiple monitors from the same computer, refer to the Active Adapters section below.
Passive Adapters
Passive adapters are less expensive since they do not need to include additional chips. A quick way to check whether you can use a passive adapter is to see if the DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort source has the DP++ symbol above it. The symbol is a D with a P inside of it, with two + signs to the left, one on top of the other.
Active Adapters
Active adapters use additional chips to make the conversion inside the adapter, regardless of whether the source supports DP++. This means that active adapters are more expensive than passive adapters.
If you want to use multiple monitors with the same computer, you should use an active adapter because some video cards cannot run the maximum number of monitors while using DP++. This is especially true if the computer has more than one DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort connection. Check with your video card manufacturer to confirm which type of adapter you need for the setup that you would like to run.
Note: You should use passive adapters with StarTech.com MST hubs, except when you are converting from DisplayPort to VGA, since that type of conversion requires active adapters. For more information on using adapters with StarTech.com MST hubs, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/mst_hubs_passive_vs_active_adapters.
Surface Dock
If you experience issues when you connect passive video signal adapters to the Surface Dock, Microsoft recommends that you use active video signal converters instead. StarTech.com offers an active video signal converter for DVI monitors (MDP2DVIS) and for HDMI monitors (MDP2HD4KS).
Note: This issue does not apply to the Surface Pro 3 Docking Station.

- "It's a shame you had to see him on a Burning Day. He's really very handsome most of the time, wonderful red and gold plumage."
- —Albus Dumbledore introduces Harry Potter to Fawkes[src]
Burning Day is the name of the day in which a Phoenix bursts into flame and is reborn from the ashes.[1] A Phoenix at this stage of its life is described as "decrepit-looking" and resembling "a half-plucked turkey". After bursting into flame, the Phoenix emerges from its own ashes as a newborn, which Harry Potter regarded as "quite as ugly as the old one".[1]
Known Burning Days
Behind the scenes
On 18 June, 1996, Fawkes swallowed a Killing Curse cast by Lord Voldemort, at which point he burst into flames and was reborn.[2] It is unknown if this counts as a Burning Day, as his death was not by natural causes.

There are a lot of Q'n'As around this topic but I could find the answer neither here nor in the memoir manual. Help me please.
I'd like to modify the ToC in such a way, that the word "Appendix" appears in the beginning of each appendix line (now starting with A, B etc). I've tried the appendix package but I get 'option clash' error with

Student researcher Keith Hawkins shakes hands with President Roderick J. McDavis at last year's event
Photographer: Patrick Oden
Apr 25, 2012
From staff reports
More than 600 Ohio University students will present original work at the Student Research and Creative Activity Expo Thursday, May 3.
The annual event, held from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Convocation Center, will showcase projects on topics such as electric hybrid vehicles, rock operas, yo-yo dieting and how media shapes American political discourse.
Ohio University hosts the Student Research and Creative Activity Expo annually to demonstrate the results of its student research, scholarship and creative activity inside and outside of the classroom. About 600 undergraduates, graduate students, medical students and postdoctoral fellows will present 500 projects this year.
Student participants can choose to have their work reviewed by a panel of judges who award up to $200 in prize money to the top projects in various categories organized by discipline or related subjects.
Presentations will range from live performances, interactive demonstrations and exhibits to posters.
Middle school and high school students from area districts will visit the event to learn about conducting research and creative activity, as well as research and education opportunities for Ohio University students through the Office of Admission's "OHIO STEM Day" event.
The event, which is open to the university community and general public, will offer free pizza to attendees until 1 p.m.
The WOUB Center for Public Media will host a live broadcast of the event that can be viewed online from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. May 3.
The Student Research and Creative Activity Expo is sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Creative Activity and the Dean of the Graduate College, Office of the President, Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost and University Libraries.

text: Earlier today we learned that HBO has set a February 26th premiere date for the period miniseries Parade's End, and now the network has released a teaser trailer for the five-part WWI-era miniseries. Written by Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love), the adaptation of Madox Ford's novel series stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Rebecca Hall, and Adelaide Clemens and centers on an English aristocrat trying to adjust to the social upheaval around him. The event actually first aired on BBC Two late last summer, but American audiences will get to experience the miniseries across three consecutive nights starting on February 26th. Hit the jump to watch the teaser trailer, which is plenty intriguing and sufficiently heavy on the Cumberbatch.

If you're a longtime reader of this blog, you know I recommend the Kindle e-book reader for speakers. Kindle books are easy to purchase right from the device, but this year, you can select a particular book and email it to your recipient.
Your friend might like a Kindle to go with that book--after all, it can hold her books on quotations, speeches and speaking techniques, and even her notes or speech itself (you can email documents to the device, and read from it even in direct sunlight). But she doesn't need a Kindle to read Kindle e-books: Amazon has free apps for mobile devices and computers. Best of all, there are plenty of Kindle books about speeches and public speaking. Here are a few that demonstrate the range of options you'll find:
- The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs : How to Be Insanely Great in Front of Any Audience
- A Call to Conscience: The Landmark Speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
- 21 Speeches That Shaped Our World
- 50 of President Ronald Reagan's Most Important Speeches from 1957 to 1994: Formatted for the Kindle
- An American Story: The Speeches of Barack Obama: A Primer
- Confessions of a Public Speaker
- Public Speaking in an Instant: 60 Ways to Stand Up and Be Heard

Customer Testimonials
This product seemed to work so well that I'm buying another bottle! My husband hasn't woke me up in the middle of the night from his snoring in weeks! This stuff is great!
I would like to congratulate you for making such a wonderful product as "Asonor" available in the Australian market. After establishing a new relationship with my partner, I discovered that I have a bad snoring problem.
As my partner is such a light sleeper, she found that most nights would result in either very broken sleep or having to relocate to another bedroom. This was becoming very frustrating for both of us, so I had to quickly search for a cure to the problem. Firstly, I tried all of the basic remedies like changing positions of sleep, all without success.
I then researched several "high success" products such as (a) "Mouth guard" devices and (b) Nostril dilators, all with very limited or no success. I always found such products to be uncomfortable, inconvenient and usually became dislodged throughout the night. Even when I did manage to cope with them, they didn't really work properly and also resulted in me having very disturbed broken sleep.
After becoming so frustrated with these remedies, I visited my doctor to obtain a referral to an "Ear, Nose & Throat" specialist with a view to consider surgery to fix the problem. As part of that process, I had to go to hospital to have a "sleep study" done in preparation for seeing the specialist surgeon. I was also warned that this process would turn out to not only be expensive and painful but there were also limited chances of success. I was however willing to go through with it in order to maintain a healthy relationship with my partner and sound sleep for both of us!
Just prior to visiting the surgeon, I came across the "Asonor" product on the internet and decided to give it a go. It sounded promising and I thought what have I got to lose.
Well, I am pleased to report that the product worked from the very first night. The use of the product is convenient and simple. Both my partner and I are now enjoying sound sleep and I won't be going down the drastic surgery path any more. I cannot speak highly enough about your product – it has been a relationship saver!
Asonor, it works for me, however my wife was not happy to have to acknowledge that it was her that rattled the most because I sleep like a baby with no sound, we now both use it, great sleeps.
The best product I have tried, my sleep has improved and I'm much more rested
I considered separate bedrooms and consulting a doctor, saw the advert and tried the product as a last resort. It has been a great purchase, benefiting the whole family.
I was so impressed when I tried it for the first time.
I can now breathe much easier and do not snore anymore.
Could you please pass on to whomever it concerns that I am so very happy with the product ASONOR! It really works!!!!!!! My husband was a big snorer and I would lose a lot of sleep. I made him go out and buy some and it has made such a difference. Many products claim to work but this one really does.
The assistant at the pharmacy asked for my opinion of the product as he himself snores and would like to try it.PS: I am now on my second bottle
I am very satisfied with the effect of Asonor
My husband no longer complains about my snoring
It is great – my sleep has improved greatly and I'm feeling much more awake in the morning
Asonor helps as I no longer wake up with a headache in the morning that would often turn into a migraine later in the day, I sleep sounder at night
It is great and works
I just can't sleep if I do not use Asonor – it is wonderful!
Asonor is a brilliant product which has almost completely eradicated my very bad snoring. Both myself and my wife sleep much better at night now.
I am happy with the effect on snoring, but I'm unfortunately still dry in my mouth in the morning
I used to be woken up by my own snoring. Now my partner has noticed that I only breathe very heavily
Asonor has almost stopped my snoring. There has been a few times when it hasn't worked, but it is probably also influenced by the deepness of my sleep
Brilliant – on my second bottle
Love the product
Asonor is the best – I have been using it for 3 years now.
I am well rested in the morning and my wife now stays by my side all night. She used to complain that I used to stop breathing for short periods of time during the night
Before I started using Asonor I would snore every night, but now it does not happen very often and only mildly.
It just works!
Has helped me so much that my snoring has virtually disappeared.
Asonor is very effective
After a few days I saw a definite improvement.
I really like it
I have used it for 6 years and I am very satisfied
I used to suffer from very bad sleep apnea which is now gone. I sleep through the whole night now which is something I have not done for a long time.
Much better and calmer night's sleep
Chrischurch /South Island Pharmacist (NZ) found Asonor stopped him snoring from the very first night, his wife gets very upset with him if he forgets to use it!
Asonor means my wife and I still sleep together.
My father's been snoring night and day. With the use of this, his snoring just went away! it absolutely works!

not to play follow-the-leader.
Hold my nose, let go.
a treaty with the indomitable Lady.
Would you like me to read it to you?
Maybe we all need to re-evaluate!ReplyDelete
"Free fall into generosity" Now that's what I need a few folks to do around here! Generosity of spirit is order of the day.ReplyDelete
Derrick beat me to it, but I just love the phrase "Free fall into generosity." Great one Tess!ReplyDelete
When you create Christmas in your mind, we all win! (The best purchase I've made so far is a goat from Oxfam! Giving feels so much better than getting.)ReplyDelete
"Hers is not a day, but a state of mind". Love the colors here. Beautiful and thoughtful.ReplyDelete
Following the leader is rarely a good idea.ReplyDelete
Oh, I hope you didn't free fall into generosity. Bake some of your awesome cookies or something instead, Tess!
What a great poem. It is indicative of the pressures we all sadly feel, this time of year, isn't it?
You did it so well.
My One Shot:
My Magpie:
a picture
Christmas rules at our house:
Less is more. Hence we just laugh and eat a lot and just have a heck of a lotta fun.
I love this. It is a state of mind.ReplyDelete
Why indeed no champagne. Downright barbaric.
A nice piece, Tess, about embracing the freedom that resides in our hearts rather than outside in cold reflections.
Yes, it truly is a state of mind. This piece of stained glass artwork hangs in my kitchen window year round as a gentle reminder.ReplyDelete
Daigu, a champagne state of mind is definitely in order!ReplyDelete
An eloquent way to express personal belief and the taking of a leap of faith. cheersReplyDelete
that i believe is a dare i would take...smiles. free fall into generosity really struck me...niceReplyDelete
So many have said this, yet it took me by the hand too --
"free fall into generosity"
wonderful, wonderful..
Yes, it's hard not to take the plunge.
I love that stained glass window!
This is the essence of Tess!ReplyDelete
Great write for Xmas...jumping in--it is all or nothing...it is that time of year everyone wants my Signature....I feel famous ....while the music is playing....amen...bkmReplyDelete
love the last line. couldnt get the voice thingy to work.ReplyDelete
Great verse..thankyou.ReplyDelete
Love that last line!ReplyDelete
I'm certain that Willow is not one to follow the leader. Keep that wonderful state of mind!
So much here. I had to read it a couple of times. Not a day but a state of mind - nice capture!ReplyDelete
It is a total state of mind. I am not doing it this year. This year I am changing the way we do things. Year after year we jump in with wild abandon. The cost is too great otherwise and it doesn't even come close to expressing the sentiments I feel about those I love.ReplyDelete
Usually the later One Shots get fewer comments than the earlier ones, but that's NOT the case here.
That fact highlights the quality of this piece, Tess. Well done!
Enjoyed your spoken version, and the sharp commentary as well.ReplyDelete
Very neat poem, Tess. I, too, like 'Free fall into generosity'.ReplyDelete
Dear Tess: Poignant rendering of the reason for the season; "free falling into generostiy" is "a state of mind"; Love. The stain glass iconic image and sure and steady daily reminder of Love's purposeful intent! Thank-you for this needed reminder!ReplyDelete
I definitely won't "free fall into generosity" this year. At last, I'm really penniless, with almost two years of unemployment, my half pension and social security aren't enough. I've emptied my savings and spent two hours yesterday at Consumer Credit Counseling. Never thought, at 66, my life would come to this. It's a Christmas poem and little else this year - a move on the horizon for the end of Feb and who knows what the new year will bring!!ReplyDelete
Whoa!! A lot said here! At the end of the day, Freedom rules!!!
But sometimes, one has to compromise a bit (for what/whom, I really wonder)!
Very well writ, Tess!
And how hard it is to resist the follow-the-leader free-fall into generosity this time of year. There is so much 'buy me, buy me" all around us.ReplyDelete
me too..." free fall into generosity"
pretty incredible writing, my friend
so HAPPY to see you today...i would love the icecelcus ( can't spell it )...they might make it here...we finally turned cold...at least for us here...with storms all lined up out in the pacific..headed right here...get out the wooly socks !!!!
sending cozy love,
kary and teddy
Just to clarify my take on "free fall into generosity", as well as being "overcharged", I intended it to be a state of mind, not necessarily a financial condition, a pledge not to be stingy, but generous in lovely intangibles!ReplyDelete
I love one of the last comments
you made, whereby you plan to
be /generous in lovely intangibles/
for there is the crux to Christmas;
and your poem somehow is
cynical yet hopeful, reverent yet
irreverent, prodding us to both
remember the reason for the
season and still not be lemmings
to marketing and Madison Ave;
You look at the incredible stained
glass piece in your window, at the
frozen and frigid landscape, and
still you find plenty of warmth
inside, you poetically and realistically
walk that tightrope of now, and
without abandoning the spirit
of the holidays, for your mistress
arms are open so very wide,
you remind us to wear our
galoshes and scarves, and
possibly drop a dime on that
Popsicle in the stocking hat
that stands next to the red
bucket outside Safeway, shaking
that tiny bell. Thanks for the
buckeye beacon in this fog
of carols and commercials.
The generic title reinforces the perspective. The spirit of giving is still there however.ReplyDelete
Read this a different way, at first (despite the title). Still, I love the lines that seem to appeal to everyone "Free fall into/generosity" and "Hers is not a day, but a state of mind."
I found this beautifully complex. Rather like the indomitable Lady.
Thank you.
A lovely Christmas poem!ReplyDelete
What a great poem! I haven't yet gotten into the season, but this certainly does make me feel more generous!ReplyDelete
Warming up for Christmas,it certainly is, cookies and cakes! In the current cold spell it's most welcomed. Excellent!ReplyDelete
I can think of a free fall I see at the holidays, while shopping... I'm sorry, I think that was a free for all. IF only more would look to the generosity rather than the comercialism of this holiday season. But for those of us who do share these feelings, thanks for the uplift.ReplyDelete
Thanks, for your beautiful comment, Glenn, I can always count on you to "get" my poetry. :)ReplyDelete
I imagine that the colours of the stained glass always add a sense of brightness. Inside the home, the light of day casts its sacred warmth and outside at night, the light inside would cast a magical glow from this window.
It is as if this physical feature has been given a spiritual parellel in your poem. If only our own colours could be so sacred and pass to and from us so freely!
A beautiful post!
Perceptive piece, Tess.
And interesting that we all spend so much money trying to mimic our old Christmases which cost next to nothing financially, you cant buy 'wonder'.
'Nollaig Shona' (Merry Christmas) to you and all your family.
Amazing write for Christmas, thanks for sharing with us !ReplyDelete
This is really a great take on this.ReplyDelete
Resign to be overcharged - that's Christmas for sure! Good Magpie.ReplyDelete
You have captured something here, an essence perhaps?
I am having a giveaway on my blog and hope that you will join in.
what a heartfelt tale.
stay cozy,
Merry Christmas!
I sent you an email, let me know your response...thanks.
I really love the way you have put the emphasis on her. Love the lind 'hers is not a day but a state of mind' I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. :o)ReplyDelete
You should write cryptic crosswords!
Reading the comments is as entertaining as the original poem and of course I read into it my own philosophies. Thus I find irreverence co-esisting with respect for conventions, some of which you select for the fun (and the community).
What a wonderful message. I love your poem.ReplyDelete
Yes! It's all a state of mind. Nice piece, to be sure.ReplyDelete
A state of mind that has persisted for over 2 thousand years.
This is so beautiful, and hearing you read it brought a tear to my eye. My deepest respect,
Great poem, Tess.ReplyDelete
After all the shopping and decorating and making ornaments and xmas cards and mailing and shipping-- and still have baking and wrapping to do it really does seem like a wild rodeo at times-- so your poem is right on...ReplyDelete
A state of mind....so very true...another amazing poem...hope you have an awesome Christmas Willow!ReplyDelete

The Violet Ratiometric Membrane Asymmetry Probe/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit provides a simple and fast method for the detection of apoptosis with dead cell discrimination by flow cytometry. Suspension and adherent cells can be analyzed after a 5-minute incubation at room temperature without washing. The kit can be paired with other reagents such as the MitoProbe™ DiIC1(5) Assay Kit (mitochondria apoptosis assays), annexin V conjugates, or many others for multiparametric analysis of the apoptotic process. The kit can also be used alone as an endpoint apoptosis assay.
The Violet Ratiometric Membrane Asymmetry Probe (4'-N,N-diethylamino-6-(N-dodecyl-N-methyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl))ammoniomethyl-3-hydroxyflavone, F2N12S) is a novel dye for the detection of membrane asymmetry loss, which occurs during apoptosis [1]. The F2N12S dye exhibits an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer reaction resulting in dual fluorescence, with two emission bands corresponding to 530 nm and 585 nm using violet 405 nm excitation. The emitted fluorescence at both wavelengths is proportional to the change in membrane surface charge that occurs during apoptosis. The two distinct fluorescence emission spectra are also directly proportional to each other, a property that defines the dye as a ratiometric probe. The kit also includes SYTOX® AADvanced™ Dead Cell Stain (488 nm excitation, 647 nm emission) for discrimination of dead from live cells.
Advantages of a Ratiometric Probe
Ratiometric probes have several advantages over traditional fluorophore-labeled reagents. A ratiometric probe is self-referencing, because the ratio of emission at the two wavelengths is an absolute parameter that is independent of probe concentration, cell size, and instrument variation. Traditional fluorophore-labeled reagents, such as annexin V, often require titration to optimize the fluorescence separation between the live and apoptotic populations due to differences in cell size, concentration, and fluorophore. Optimizing a reagent may not be feasible if the samples are rare or difficult to produce. The dual-color fluorescence emission of the F2N12S reagent coupled with a derived ratio parameter enables researchers to resolve apoptotic and live cell populations among samples with cell concentrations that differ by as much as 100-fold, without the need to optimize the F2N12S probe concentration (Figure 1).
|Figure 1. Resolution of live and apoptotic cell populations across a 100-fold difference in cell concentration by the Violet Ratiometric Asymmetry Probe/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit. Flow cytometry density plots show control (Top Row) and camptothecin-treated (Middle Row) Jurkat cells (1 x 105 to 1 x 107 cells/mL) stained with 200 nM F2N12S and 1 μM SYTOX® AADvanced™ Dead Cell Stain (color in the plots simply reflects number of cells). Unlike some traditional fluorescent probes, the F2N12S ratio is not subject to probe depletion at high cell concentrations. (Bottom Row) As expected when cell concentration increases and probes become limiting, the fluorescence intensity of both emission bands (530 nm and 585 nm) of F2N12S decreases, but the ratio of fluorescence of the two bands only begins to be affected around 1 x 107 cells/mL. Even at 1 x 107 cells/mL, the apoptotic (A), live (L), and dead (D) cell populations are still clearly discernible, providing a robust assay for apoptosis when cell concentration cannot be accurately determined.
Apoptosis Data In As Little As 5 Minutes
The Violet Ratiometric Membrane Asymmetry Probe (F2N12S) and SYTOX® AADvanced™ Dead Cell Stain rapidly target the plasma membrane and nucleus. Live, apoptotic, and dead cell populations can be clearly resolved by flow cytometry, with F2N12S staining times as short as 30 seconds and optimal population resolution obtained after 5 minutes (Figure 2). The assay does not require special buffers, wash steps, or long incubation times; therefore, the chance of cells completing the apoptotic cycle and staining as dead, which can occur during extended sample processing, is reduced.
Figure 2. Optimal population resolution in 5 minutes using the Violet Ratiometric Asymmetry Probe/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit. Control (Top Row) or camptothecin-treated (Bottom Row) Jurkat cells were incubated with 200 nM F2N12S for 30 seconds up to 30 minutes before analysis by flow cytometry. Samples were stained with 1 μM SYTOX® AADvanced™ Dead Cell Stain 5 minutes prior to addition of F2N12S to discriminate dead cells (D) from the apoptotic population (A). Populations of live (L) and apoptotic cells can be resolved in as little as 30 seconds after addition of F2N12S; this rapid analysis means fewer cells complete the apoptotic cycle during sample processing.
Enabling Multicolor Apoptosis Assays
The Violet Ratiometric Membrane Asymmetry Probe/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit can easily be paired with our other apoptosis reagents, enabling the development of diverse multiparameter apoptosis assays that are uniquely suited for the biological system of interest (Figure 3). The F2N12S dye, which is excited by 405 nm violet excitation, provides more flexibility to develop multiparameter, multiple-laser assays that utilize 405 nm, 488 nm, and 633 nm lasers, while reducing the need for complex compensation controls, because the F2N12S reagent has negligible absorbance at 488 nm and 633 nm. The Violet Ratiometric Membrane Asymmetry Probe/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit offers a rapid, sensitive, and fully multiplexable solution to expand the capability of today's violet laser–equipped flow cytometers while providing a robust apoptosis assay for both suspension and adherent cell types.
Figure 3. Multiparameter apoptosis assay. Control (Top Row) and 4-hour camptothecin-treated (Bottom Row) Jurkat cells were stained with 1 μM SYTOX® AADvanced™ Dead Cell Stain, 200 nM F2N12S, and 50 nM MitoProbe™ DiIC1(5). Dead cells were first excluded (histograms) by gating live cells (those that have lower SYTOX® AADvanced™ fluorescence, indicated by bars). Bivariant density plots show a two-parameter apoptosis assay for mitochondrial membrane potential loss (decreased DiIC1(5) fluorescence) and breakdown of membrane asymmetry (smaller F2N12S 585/530 nm fluorescence ratio). The A, L, and D labels on the graphs indicate apoptotic, live, and dead cells, respectively.

Rumours that Apple is about to release a new Apple TV have heightened today with news that an FFC filing has revealed that the next Apple TV will be even smaller than the current Apple TV.
The FFC filing shows new measurements for the box. Rather than the 98mm square of the current model, the new measurements are listed as 93.78mm square – meaning that the box loses almost half a centimeter from two sides.
While shaving a few millimeters off the sides of the Apple TV may not seem that groundbreaking, the interesting part is why it is possible.
According to MacGasm's report, the shrinkage is made possible due to the use of the Broadcom BCM4334 wireless chip that also features in the iPhone 5. Apparently it means the Apple TV no longer needs two chipsets to connect to Bluetooth devices and Wi-Fi networks.
According to 9to5Mac, this chip is also able to pick up FM radio. That report notes that there is a dormant FM radio receiver in the same chip inside iOS devices.
The model number A1469 mentioned in the FFC filing has not been mentioned before, according to reports.
New A5x processor for the Apple TV
Yet more clues to the new Apple TV came from the latest Apple TV firmware released this week. AnandTech examined the Apple TV 3,2 firmware and found that the new Apple TV will be running off of an s5l8947x A5x processor. The same chip featured in the third generation iPad.
This processor will offer an improvement over the current A5 revision 2 chip that features inside the third-generation Apple TV.
This week's firmware update to the Apple TV has also sparked speculation about what a new version of Apple's set-top box might bring. With Apple adding Bluetooth keyboard functionality to its set-top box many are hopeful that Apple has some exciting new features to introduce soon that will benefit from the extra control offered by a keyboard.
Yet more evidence that Apple may be about to ship a new version of the Apple TV emerged this weekend with claims that office supply retailer Staples would be selling the Apple TV for just $49.99. It is feasible that the chain could sell the old Apple TV model at half price.
A mockup of a Staples webpage that appears to be selling the Apple TV at the discount price was published by 9to5Mac.

Most significant projects
- Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil reports a decade of success - Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil reports they have distributed more than 20,000 ecological appliances since 2000. From these 20,000, 14,000 have been solar cookers, mainly distributed in the South American countries of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Additionally, 5,000 Rocket Stoves were distributed in the African countries of Benin, Chad, and Guinea, as well as to the South American countries. Besides solar cookers and stoves, they have also provided fireless cookers, solar food dryers and solar showers. On November 5, 2011, the organization is sponsoring a national conference addressing deforestation in Africa to be held in their hometown of Nantes, France.
News and Recent Developments
- February 2012: At the invitation of the Munincipalidad de El Collao, Ilave, Tara Miller and Sam Brown gave a solar cooking demonstration to a gathering of over 200 government officials from the area. They used a ULOG cooker newly made in Puno and an older four reflector panel cooker we had made in 1997 on Taquile Island. We cooked yams in both cookers in partly cloudy conditions. Tara mentioned, there were 300 printed copies of our cooker building instructions available, and they ran out. Read more...
- August 2010: Project News: Bolivia - Peru Solar Cook Stoves - actioncarbone.org
- May 2010: Nineteen Brigham Young University student engineers traveled to Peru's fabled high mountain Lake Titicaca to deliver a special solar oven as part of their course on sustainable engineering projects that help improve local people's standard of living. The students worked with the people of the Uros islands. The islands are constructed from floating beds of reeds and soil about nine feet thick, anchored to the lakebed with boulders. Power is difficult to come by, so the Uros cook fish, fowl and homegrown potatoes with expensive propane stoves or time-consuming, reed-fed fires. Local residents were intrigued by the new approach to cooking. More Information...
- November 2008: In late 2006, Acciónatura, a Spanish NGO, approached Solar Household Energy (SHE) about implementing a project in Peru with their Peruvian partner NGO. While they had the funding to buy the HotPots and implement the project, they did not have the solar cooking technical expertise. Therefore, they requested in-country technical solar cooking support from Solar Household Energy (SHE). SHE signed a Terms of Reference with Acciónatura to work in a consortium with Asociación de Ecosistemas Andinos (ECOAN) to conduct a solar cooking project. The solar cooking trainings were launched in mid-April outside of Lucre, Peru (about 30 kilometers from Cuzco). During five separate trainings, 100 women learned solar cooking techniques. Traditional Peruvian dishes, estofada (chicken and potato stew), rice, and baked peaches were cooked. All the women were extremely impressed with the ability of the HotPot to cook traditional food. In the coming months, the women will attend follow-up meetings where they will share solar cooking experiences. Additionally, the women will participate in a work-exchange program. In the work-exchange program, the women will plant trees in a reforestation project, conduct solar cooking demonstrations in their communities, and conduct solar cooking demonstrations at a regional food fair.
- February 2007: Rotarians help Peruvians learn solar cooking
The History of Solar Cooking in Peru
Two staff members of the Centro de la Familia Anna Dengel in Arequipa, Peru undertook a pilot project early in the 1990s. The project included both a pilot and an implementation stage. In the pilot part, they considered a range of cooker designs, and settled on a box cooker of cardboard. After that decision, an implementation process involved the construction of 30 cookers by persons who were also trained in cooking methods. All 30 persons were able to complete the construction process successfully.
Next, 24 people were trained in use of the cooker; 80% or 19 family cooks successfully used the boxes they had made. With that project behind them, the two promoters began to seek additional resources to expand their efforts. To the best of our knowledge, they were not successful in locating funds for a larger effort.
Currently, each is however working separately to promote cookers. Sister Patricia Gootee continues to make and sell a small number of cookers, and Geovana Rivera also teaches solar cooking, and designs and builds new types of cookers.
More recently, a Center of Renewable Energy has been created in Lima. Its work includes design, research, and construction of several models of solar cookers. In addition, Jorge Armando Choque Chacolla, of the Centro Poblado Menor in Tacna, an Andean area, is also working to spread solar cooking in mountainous areas.

Local economist supports expanded gambling
Sage Policy Group: Question 7 passage is win for Maryland
Question 7 -- the bill for expanded gambling in the state -- got a boost from a local economist on Monday, who said his studies show the state needs another casino and table games.
The Sage Policy Group said an affirmative for Question 7 is a win for the state because it's a way to expand the state's gambling program, grow the economy and stop the traffic from heading to West Virginia.
Television ads encourage Marylanders to vote for Question 7 at the polls in November. The question asks if voters want a casino in Prince George's County and table games at Maryland casinos.
The ads, paid for by Maryland Jobs and Schools, is also the same group that commissioned economist Anirban Basu, of the Sage Policy Group, to study the economic impact of Question 7. Basu concluded that if Question 7 wins, Maryland wins.
"The goal here is to maximize economic impact. And by the way, by maximizing the impact, the state also benefits from fiscal impact, meaning tax revenues, for instance, but also from other indications of broader prosperity: jobs, business, sales and so forth and so on," Basu said.
But he also said the state's gambling program has not been that effective so far in growing the economy.
"That's because many of the slots machines that presently exist are played by Marylanders, and so it's a transfer of money from the consumer to the operator to the state of Maryland, but it does not necessarily make the economy bigger," Basu said.
If Question 7 fails to pass, the Sage Policy Group estimates that there will be between $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion of lost Maryland spending power to Charles Town, W.V., alone over the next few years. Basu said many people are still going there out of habit, while others are attracted to the table games -- and table games attract high rollers.
"A facility in Prince George's County would do two things: One, it would make our facilities more accessible -- our machines more accessible to Northern Virginia -- and Northern Virginia is one of the most affluent regions in the country with a lot of spending power," Basu said.
Basu said adding a casino will encourage competition, calling on all casinos in Maryland to step up their game. He said most of the Marylanders who play in Charles Town come from Prince George's County.

At the Golden Horse (At the Golden Crown) and At the Storks (At the White Angel) - Old Town Square 22/482 a 23/48,1 Old Town
Old Town Square 22/482 a 23/48,1 Old Town
House At the Golden Horse (At the Golden Crown) was formed by joining two, originally Gothic, townhouses together, and rebuilding them in Renaissance and later on, in 1767-70, in late baroque style. In 1945 the house burned out and in 1949-52 it was restored. The house cellars maintained their Gothic characters, the arcades and the carriageway have a late Baroque vaulting. The house At the Storks (At the White Angel) is originally a Gothic townhouse, later adapted a number of times, its current appearance is early Baroque from 1550's and 1560's, the façade has been also been re-done in a late Baroque style between 1780 and 1800. After a fire in 1945 the house has been restored. The basement has a Gothic appearance. The hall on the groundfloor has a Renaissance vault, the arcades have early Baroque vaults and there are Baroque vaults in several other rooms. At present time both houses are essentially functioning as one.

Atheism represents an idea foreign to the believer, of one who exists outside the confines of religion's self-imposed, brutal, and dreadful dictatorship. Since religion has been free to spread its spore throughout the collective consciousness, it causes a reaction in the body politic... like a slime mold exposed to sunlight.
