Pancake Express
The Pancake Express is a device that aids in the preparation and dispensing of pancake batter. It is mainly composed of a large ( 32 ounce ) clear cylinder base and a hefty, battery-powered mixer attachment. The Item allows for measuring, mixing, storing and dispensing of pancake batter or just about any other similar mixture ( like waffle or cupcake mix ). User control is provided through a pressure sensitive, trigger-like mechanism in the handle that opens up the dispensing area to release a precise amount of the substance within.

- Secure Mixing Lid
The main cylinder is covered by a large insert with a powerful mixer attached. It also serves to hold the batteries and as a traditional sealing lid, so the preparations inside can be left inside for the next day. The mixing activity is controlled by a small switch found on top of the lid.
- Built in Measurements
With the Pancake Express there is no need to use a separate measuring device. A handy guide is visible on the front of the main container, providing precise measurements in ounces, cups and milliliters.
- Easy Release
The handle of this item contains a precision trigger that allows the user to control the amount of mixture being released. Additionally, the dispensing end ensures a tight seal to eliminate unintended leakage.
Save Time
The Pancake Express cuts time from the pancake preparation process with several helpful features. Users will not need to setup or clean separate working stations for measuring, mixing or dispensing ingredients. A lot of time can also be saved ( and certainly some headaches avoided ) due to the precise dispensing feature, which virtually guarantees an even, round and attractive pancake shape on the first try. Additionally, any left over batter is ready to be stored without having to be moved to another container.
Does It Really Work?
Yes, the Pancake Express provides consumers with a single product that will accommodate all stages of the pancake preparation process. Measurements can be completed with the built-in guides and mixing is as simple as placing the lid on and flipping a switch. When users are ready to form the food, a simple handle trigger allows for easy dispensing. Most of these features are a product of the device's unique physical design, but the battery powered mixing insert is also an important part of the overall package.
- Batteries Not Included
As is standard in many modern devices, the required batteries are not included in the package and will need to be purchased separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it Hard to Clean?
No, the Pancake Express container / dispenser can be placed directly in the dishwasher. The mixer can even be removed from the battery station ( which should not be placed in the dishwasher ) and also washed in the machine.
- Can Other Items be Prepared?
Although it is called the Pancake Express, this product has plenty of versatility when it comes to food preparation. The precision dispensing handle is of good use for controlled spreading of many thickened mixtures, like cupcake ingredients.
The informational commercial for this product begins by reminding viewers of the mess that can be caused when making pancakes the traditional way. Pancake Express is presented as a solution and its features are demonstrated in a step-by-step display. The powered mixer and trigger handle are then highlighted as two of the more impressive aspects of this product. Alternative uses like pouring directly onto hot surfaces, preparing other mixtures, storage capabilities and dishwasher friendliness are then shown. A recipe guide is added to the package while the benefits are again recapped. It ends with the offer to double the purchase for an additional shipping and handling fee.

Oh the infamous Patchouli essential oil - This well know aromatic essence carries a deserved reputation as the scent of the counterculter generation, first gaining fame as a cover up for the aroma of another burning herb. Patchouli's traditional aromatic and medicinal uses, however, date back perhaps thousands of years. Today, Patchouli (sometimes written 'Patchouly') has an honored place in aromatherapy and natural perfumery, with it's deep, musky, and sweet scent, and emotionally balancing properties.
Patchouli is a perennial herb originating in tropical Asia, growing wild at elevations between 3,000 and 6,000 feet, with farming more pervasive in the lowland tropical jungles of India and Indonesia. This bushy plant grows to one meter, with a powerful stem and soft, hair-covered leaves. The plant is harvested two or three times per year, with the best quality essential oil derived from leaves cut in the rainy seasons. The leaves are hand picked and drirf in the shade, fermenting for a few days before the oil is extracted via steam distillation. The fermentation process softens the plant's cell walls, easing the extraction of the oil, though it doesn't significantly add to the oils' distinctive odor.
Patchouli oil's prices are low in comparison to other essential oils because of the plant's high yield. Further, Patchouli can be stored for long periods, being one of the few essential oils that improve with age. Over time, the oil looses a harshness that many find distasteful, and adds a sweet top note. As it ages, the oil turns from light yellow to a deep viscous amber, with the aroma becoming smoother and more rich.
The aroma of Patchouli was pervasive in cloth and clothing exported from India in the 19th century, as it was found effective at preventing insects from devouring natural fabrics. The scent became an indicator of true Oriental cloth, so much so that European clothing makers were obliged to douse their products with Patchouli to ensure acceptance in the marketplace. sPatchouli oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicines in Asia, indicated for skin conditions. Patchouli can help with dermatitis, eczema, acne, dry chapped skin, and other irritating conditions, along with dandruff and oily scalp conditions. It may help in healing wounds and reducing the appearance of scars, acting as a stimulant for skin rejuvenation. Further, Patchouli is considered an excellent remedy for insect and snake bites, and when used as a fumigant, it may prevent the spread of infectious fever and support the immune system.
Patchouli oil is a premier base note and fixative in perfume blends, being included in a host of well-known perfumes and colognes. In blends, it limits the evaporation of lighter oils so that their aroma may be released more slowly. Small amounts of Patchouli can be used in natural perfume blends, adding that unique earthy aroma. It mixes well with several other aromatherapy oils, though care should be taken not to overwhelm other scents when creating blends.
For therapeutic applications, Patchouli is considered a premier bringer of balance, with a combination of relaxing AND stimulating effects. It is said to bring the three principal forces at work within the body - creative, heart-center, and intellectual - in-synch. Patchouli can reduce strain of those with excessive mental activity who may feel 'out of touch' with their body and sensuality. It has been considered a relaxing aphrodisiac, and can be helpful for those with *** anxiety. Patchouli combines this aphrodisiac effect with an antidepressant one, uplifting the mind with it's sweet, warm, spicy scent. Again, because of it's very strong aromatic properties, very small doses can be used - a little dabbed in special places on the body will go a long way.
To further add to it's lore, Patchouli is thought to be a bringer of prosperity and abundance to the lives of those exposed to it's aroma. The oil is used in ceremonies and rituals by those in need of monetary or other type of infusion. A simple method to employ Patchouli's power is to close the eyes and visualize the abundance actually coming into one's environment while inhaling the oil's aroma.
To try some fun natural perfume blends including Patchouli, one can create these mixtures of essential oils: Three parts Patchouli to one part Rosemary Verbenone - This creates a very uplifting blend with the earthy, grounding energy of Patchouli with the herbaceous, almost floral scent of Rosemary oil. If you're needing a break from the daily grind, experiment with three parts Coriander seed oil, two parts Patchouli and one part Bergamot oil (pressed from bitter oranges). For those wishing to uncover their sensuality, try one part Geranium Rose oil, one part Patchouli and one part Bergamot oil used as a perfume - this simple blend with a glorious aroma was created for helping one be comfortable with their own body.
There's a little background on this well-known but somewhat mysterious essential oil. With it's many wonderful uses, Patchouli is worth a little experimentation - and for those who have disliked the aroma in the past, a good quality, well-aged oil is worth investigation. Some who once turned their nose up at the sharp scent have found they truly enjoy a smooth, well-rounded Patchouli essential oil.
Misty Rae Cech, ND is a natural health professional and yoga instructor in Boulder, Colorado. She is the co-owner of the Ananda Apothecary at , a source for several wonderful aroma's of Patchouli.

Hike Numa Ridge Lookout
Rate this Adventure Montana › Numa Ridge Lookout Trailhead, Bowman Lake Campground
Added by Noah Couser
Visit the manned Numa Ridge Lookout (only manned in summer months). This well-built trail offers excellent exercise and incredible views of the remote North Fork region of Glacier Park.
Begin the hike at Bowman Lake Campground. The trail wanders along the West side of the lake for the first mile or so, and then begins a gradual climb to the lookout. The total distance is 5.6 miles each way, and the trail climbs roughly 2,900 vertical. Don't worry, your sore legs and lungs will find respite in the sweeping panoramic views of the entire North Fork region. Pop into the lookout to speak with the ranger (as long as they aren't busy), they always have great stories and are usually eager to talk to people.
For the overzealous, continue along the ridge toward Numa Peak for even more spectacular views and a little more vertical gain. Climb to the next false summit with only moderate bushwhacking and minimal extra effort, and look down upon the lookout and the entire lake.
After descending from the lookout, hustle down to Bowman Lake for a refreshingly chilly dive into the crystal clear water. Drive back down through the tiny town of Polebridge...STOP...be sure to go into The Mercantile for some unbelievable baked goodies. Huckleberry Bear Claws will change your life, just prepare yourself.
Pack List
- Trail snacks
- Water (2L on a hot day)
- Camera
- Bear spray
- Extra layers
- Swim trunks to dive in afterwards!
- Money for some tasty baked goods at the Polebridge Mercantile

I'm a professional photographer living and working in Whitefish, Montana. I travel as much as I can with my beautiful wife Megan, and am always scheming a new adventure, or a new way to do an old trip. My passion is the outdoors, and getting people excited about recreating outside. By day, I teach PE and health at the local middle school, by night, I fight crime in a spandex jumpsuit... not really, but I do enjoy taking lots of pictures and working for cool outdoor companies when not at school throwing dodge balls at 8th graders.Follow

These days more and more businesses are adapting to a new way of working by utilizing a new way of operating where products and/or services are delivered at the click of a button, more like a tap on the app. This phenomenal technology is commanded by the Uber like app for on demand, also known as Uber for X.
As the awareness of the sharing economy spreads globally, many startups have started looking to encash on the already successful and white-hot market created by Uber. These startups are adapting to this new technology using on demand Uber for X.
This wonderful model uses the concept of connecting service providers to customers. These service providers provide the service at a much smaller budget, as they have no expenses or overheads.
The app model has been very successful and different sectors of the service industry are today cloning it. The On-Demand Uber for X clone script, just like Uber, has gained instant popularity as the public welcome this smart and modern technology into their lives. It has become a very fast favorite for businesses, thanks to its scalable model and easy customization features.
In today's cutthroat business world, you can bet that any business you think of launching today has just been launched yesterday. To remain on top of the game, it is, therefore, important that when you launch such a popular app, you need to ensure that you can incorporate customized applications with the requested functionalities in the app itself, thus making it a Minimum Viable Product or MPV. With just enough features to satisfy normal clients, the complete set of required features can be designed and developed depending on what the client really wants out of his Uber like app for on demand.
Using the right technology partner like V3CUBE can help build an application and customize it accordingly to the specific business requirements of each client by ensuring the delivery of both the web and mobile application in the very first instance.
Uber for X is so much more than an application that needs offline support and operations for that perfect synchronized operation that the app is so famous for. Both technology and service need to be accomplished successfully to grow and scale up together.
Some of the popular Uber for X startups include:
- Uber for Dog walking
- Uber for Hotel Rooms
- Uber for Beauty Services
- Uber for Home Cleaning
- Uber for Car Repairs
- Uber for Babysitting
- Uber for Pizza Delivery
- Uber for Vet

How To Become A Health Care Assistant
I've worked at care homes in Sheffield for many years now and I absolutely love what I do. When I leave work every day I know for sure that I've made a real difference to somebody's life and that's a feeling that can't be bought. My job is so rewarding, I honestly can't imagine ever doing anything else. But unfortunately, there just aren't enough people in the field right now that feel the way I do. There's a national shortage of care workers and that's having an impact on the level of care that can be delivered. I know for many people, being a care assistant is just something they really don't know anything about, so I've put together this little overview to see if I could encourage some of you to take that step and make that difference.

I stayed with my fiance. There was a prostitute doing business next door. We complained to management but were told that she was a paying customer and that it was all in my head ( in so many words). She had 3 different "guests" and the pounding of the headboard each time she had her guest was enough proof. We were told that if we wanted to check out we could.
The prostitute had more credibility than I did. I will never come back to this motel6 at la sierra in riverside ca.

Grab this free printable Halloween Scavenger Hunt (& game!) for kids and scout out some of your favorite Halloween decorations!
We've been enjoying some evening walks and the halloween decorations in our neighborhood this week, so I thought I would create a scavenger hunt that will encourage your kids to get outside and find out what their neighbors are using to decorate :)
The hunt can also be used at school (so many teachers decorate their classrooms) or as a fun activity for birthday parties, youth groups or scout events.
Halloween Scavenger Hunt for Kids {w/free printable}
I love scavenger hunts like these as they are so versatile -- here are a few ways to use them:
- encourage your kids to get outside & get some exercise as they hunt around your neighborhood,
- as a fun activity at a halloween party, with scout troops or youth groups,
- a great idea for teenagers who are looking for something to do on those weekend evenings,
- with kids in the classroom to scout out decorations around the school.
There are a few items you'll need before you go out hunting -- here's what we like to have with us along with affiliate links so you can easily learn more about each item:
- FREE printable Halloween Scavenger Hunt (you can print yours below)
- a 9 x 12 Clipboard to hold the paper
- spooky Pencils ;)
- a flashlight -- or better yet, Glowstick Bracelets since you're likely to be hunting when it's dark
Head out with your kids one evening and see how many items you can find - there are both fun and spooky ones on the list.
We've also included a chart at the bottom of the scavenger hunt (which turns it into a fun game!) if you'd like a little friendly competition ;-)
See who's brave enough and can earn the most "bones" when you play!
Printable Version of Halloween Scavenger Hunt
And when you finish, enjoy some warm apple cider together and a fun seasonal story -- see our 14 Cozy Books that Celebrate Fall for some ideas!

2/2/17: Hazel is a 8 months old tri-tiger. She is a beautiful girl with a quiet but loving personality. She is little shy and would need a special home where her pretty looks are admired and her new guardian will be willing to coax her into relaxation. She loves her wet food and comes running to be petted when someone pops the top on a can! She likes being near people and other cats and is even comfortable around dogs, but at this time avoids being petted when she is free-roaming. She does enjoy being petted when she is curled up securely in a bed or perch. Hazel would do best in a home with an experienced or patient cat person who understands she will become more loving with consistent affection, kindness and patience. Can you find it within your heart to make this little girl feel safe? Hazel is spayed, up to date on all medical, and microchipped.
If you are interested in adopting her, please use the following link for our online adoption application: https://ww04.elbowspace.com/secure/20120214123524751639
Hazel, Tabby & Domestic Short Hair Mix has been shared from Shelter Exchange.
We are a volunteer cat rescue group where some of the volunteers work at a Spay and Neuter Clinic and some at a veterinary hospital. We all help rescue all the unwanted cats that are left on the doorsteps on these employers all year round. We work with local shelters pulling those animals that are at the greatest risk to be euthanized and offer those animals a second chance at life and a loving forever home. As a group we save the babies that are left to die, the countless mothers that have had numerous litters, attempt to eradicate hoarding cases, spay and neuter feral cats and find homes for the offspring that are born as well as the adults that are friendly.
We are a rescue group that helps place ALL cats that stand a chance for a brighter tomorrow. We help the public find the resources to alter their pets as well as the stray/feral cats in the care. We provide information regarding vaccination and rabies clinic and reduced cost veterinary care. We also provide resources regarding TNR programs with local communities.
Thank You!

Brand name: Faure
Founded: 1854
Country of origin: France
The unusual logo for Faure - a larger upper case A amidst other upper case letters, sitting on a bold red bar – speaks to the French individuality of the brand's character.
The name has been part of the French consumer nation since 1854, a remarkable length of time to sustain brand recognition. Yet, it has also managed over that time to retain the impression of a new and fresh personality. That's because Faure has insisted on staying at the front of design and innovation, especially in recent years. That effort paid off significantly, as Faure was rated the number 3 brand in France from 1970 through 1988. While the brand name is most closely associated with cooking products, Faure has strengths that make it attractive beyond major appliances. It is strikingly more than a single category brand.
Faure: a French tradition and a name that an entire nation came to trust and admire.

FamousWhy Editor: Weatherinfo is a small, simple and free weather data application.
If you want to know how is the weather in this moment or you are looking for a forecast for a specified location, usually you open your internet browser and you start looking for sites that are offering the information. This takes time and effort. With Weatherinfo is much easier.
You just install this software, you choose a location and you'll get the current conditions and a five days forecast just with a single click. You will also get a tray icon in the 'Notification area', next to the Windows watch, with the current temperature, which is fully customizable with font and colors.
The location is built in three steps: you must choose a country, a list of cities will appear and after you select the desired city a list of weather stations show up. When the station is chosen you must push the "Set location" button and wait for data to be downloaded. You can use metric or imperial units and choose if you want to start the application when Windows starts or if you want to start it minimized.
Various weather stations will display different set of data or can be temporarily unavailable, if you're not satisfied try another location. Usually WeatherInfo displays:

"Nothing dates a [hotel] room more than old art and floral bed covers."
Well at least Mike Mueller, Senior VP of the Super 8 motel brand, is both -honest and aware.
The budget hotel Super 8 may not be known for their modern decor, but as the hotel chain undergoes a redesign, the "not-so-super art" is being removed and replaced with a more contemporary style.
But across the country, there are thousands of Super 8 rooms, so what do you do with all those discarded art pieces? You let hipsters fight over it....
Super 8 is holding a series of "Super 8 Innov8te" art shows across the country, and is giving away the most eclectic pieces from their collection. The free art is available on a first come first served basis.
The brand recently had shows in Miami and New York City, where Mueller says, "We had people literally fighting over pieces of old hotel art. It's really retro and ironic, and I think that's what people like about it."
As the hotels rebrand, the rooms will incorporate hyperlocal black and white photography into their furniture and decor.
There are 1800 Super 8s across the country, by early 2017 they anticipate the new look will have touched every location. So maybe it's time to revisit a Super 8.
In the meantime, be on the lookout for a chance to grab some historic hotel kitsch at an art show near you.

When the Yankees play host to the Cleveland Indians in the second game of the American League division series tonight, the fate of one team will be in the hands of one so young he looks as if he should be cramming for Psych 101 and figuring out what fraternity to rush.
The irony is that for the first time in his career, Andy Pettitte, the Yankees' starter, knows that assessment will not be of him.
At 25, Pettitte has already started six post-season games, won a World Series game and collected a championship ring. So Pettitte is so seasoned as to be considered well done when compared with his mound opponent tonight: the 21-year-old right-hander Jaret Wright.
Wright is so raw he began the season at Class AA Akron, in reality just a tick away from Cleveland on the map, but in baseball terms miles from the show. Yet this rookie stands as Cleveland's last defense against going home on the brink of elimination in the three-of-five-game series. Wright is charged with giving the Indians a chance to gain a split on the road at this stage of the frighteningly short first round of playoffs.
But before Yankee fans start considering this game already won, calculating which pitchers Joe Torre should line up for the next round, they should consider that Wright may be more than he appears, even if that appearance is one of a kid who probably still pilfers his father's shaving cream. And if you think such a face cannot pose a threat, just thumb the memories back to Andruw Jones, the 19-year-old phenom of the last World Series.Continue reading the main story
No, Yankee fans should not take baby faces and skimpy resumes for granted when Wright strolls to the mound tonight. Instead they should be very concerned, especially because they will be seeing yet another example of a team that has tapped into the mother lode of multigeneration talent coursing through the major leagues.
Mariner fans, who benefit daily from the presence of the son of former major leaguer Ken Griffey Sr., know what that special ingredient can mean as they have watched the president of the Junior League lead Seattle into the post-season again.
So, too, Giant fans as they watch the second coming of Bobby Bonds blossom in Barry, an integral part of that team's division-winning season.
The Reds are not in the playoffs, but their future looks better now that both Aaron and Bret Boone, sons and grandsons of former major leaguers Bob and Ray Boone, have arrived.
Jose Cruz Jr. is, as the song says, a tintype of his father, high stockings and obvious talent alike.
Todd Stottlemyre's inheritance of his pitching prowess is as undeniable as the Mel Stottlemyre-like features on his face.
Then there is Jaret Wright, son of Clyde, a former major league pitcher whose claims to fame include throwing a no-hitter for the Angels, winning 100 games and, perhaps most important, placing an indelible stamp of maturity on a son so obviously wise beyond his years, a son now called an integral part of the Indians' division-winning season by Cleveland Manager Mike Hargrove.
So the Yankees will face a pitcher they have never seen. They are the world champions, yes. But they are not taking anything for granted.
''You'd like to believe that a rookie gets rattled, but when you get the scouting reports and you talk to people who know him, and know his dad is a former major league pitcher, those things help,'' Torre said.
Hargrove was asked if he was at all nervous about sending someone so raw against a team that stung Cleveland veterans in an 8-6 comeback in Game 1. ''I would be, if that rookie wasn't Jaret Wright,'' he said. ''But I have yet to see him be intimidated by any situation he's been in.''
Wright, with eyes twinkling and quips aplenty, gives the appearance of a pitcher who is more than ready. Yankee Stadium? ''I saw it last night -- New York, filled to the top, with people going crazy,'' Wright said with a laugh, referring to the raucous reactions of 57,000 New Yorkers. ''People are yelling at you -- and I don't even know these people!''
But will the New York verve unnerve? ''I'm human, I'm going to have nerves,'' Wright said, but, with a shrug and a grin, he added, ''That's the thrill of competition.''
One senses that competition has yet to bother Wright. After a 3-3 stint at Akron, Wright easily traversed Class AAA, going 4-1 with a 1.80 earned run average for Buffalo. When injuries devastated Cleveland's staff, Wright was called upon and responded by going 8-3 with a 3.81 earned run average in 16 starts from June 24 on.
So when Hargrove needed to throw a wrinkle at the Yankees, needed to break up sinkerballers Orel Hershiser and Charles Nagy, he chose the kid who throws in the mid-90's. When he needed to gauge poise, he looked at Wright and saw what he always sees: a young Roger Clemens. And so Hargrove chose Wright, without apology or a hint of trepidation.
''He has tremendous stuff and I have yet to see him intimidated by any situation that we've put him in, and we've put him in situations especially in August and September where he pitched very big games for us,'' Hargrove said.
Perhaps most important, Wright appears to be a chip off the old major league block. ''His dad was a very confident person, an extrovert, and I see the same things in Jaret,'' Hargrove said. ''Being exposed to the big league life, I believe, has a lot to do with his belief in himself that I saw in his dad -- but I see a lot better stuff than I did in his dad.''
Hargrove laughed, one of the few he has enjoyed at Yankee Stadium this week. Tonight he will learn if he ultimately will have the last laugh, because of his choice of one so young.Continue reading the main story

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"A weapon should be there when you need it"
Availability is a broad subject within the field of military science. It consists of work arising from the observation that a weapon is no good if it is not there when you need it. This body of work seeks to further national defense by ensuring that all necessary weapons are available when the need arises.
edit History
It has been millennia since Homo erectus came to the conclusion that weapons need to be available. Lacking the gift of language, he was slow to communicate this need. He was the first to observe that, when one's marital partner needs cold-cocking, the moment may pass if a suitable object, such as a hair brush, cannot be found. Duplication of weapons — locating a hair brush in every room the prospective victim frequents — is not a good solution and can even create additional arguments.
The analogues of Homo erectus in the military-industrial complex took this lesson to heart, and located weapons depôts in nearly every Congressional district, much as one or several water towers in every city make water available to the population without a cumbersome network of underground pipes.
More was going on here than the need to let legislators reassure their constituents that they are bringing home the bacon (the unnecessary spending) to the district, to enable the constituents to be the ones doing the unnecessary work. If the nation were attacked, and the weapons were found elsewhere, the attack might be successful. The only alternative to replicating weapons everywhere would be to build a wasteful network of unnecessary roadways, even though you could call them the Defense Highway System and hide the spending in the DoD budget, next to the Mars probes and the outreach to Muslims.
edit Modern improvements
During the Cold War, the Pentagon rejected the alternative of having one nuclear missile placed everywhere the President was scheduled to speak, even though it might be disguised as the podium or the TelePrompTer. Rather, they created the nuclear football: a marvelous gadget with which the President could call for the vaporization of troublesome foreigners using nuclear bombs that might be located elsewhere.
The strategy quickly showed hints of being ineffective. President Gerald Ford, in idle moments, used to grasp the nuclear football, feel the stitches with his fingertips, and several times threw it through an open window of the White House. Hermetically sealing the White House was merely a stop-gap measure. Later, Bill Clinton famously failed to memorize the access code for the nuclear football or to take it along with him on golfing trips or when otherwise distracted.
edit Availability in the future
The Department of Defense has a secret project that will enable America's nuclear arsenal to be controlled, as easily as home thermostats and brokerage accounts, from any "smart" Cell Phone. Thus a "tech-savvy" President like Barack Obama could activate a devastating atomic assault between taking selfies with serious foreign leaders.
Competing Presidential candidates, such as John McCain, with war wounds that make them unable to operate or even understand controls smaller than a light switch, would be disqualified for high office, and it would be unnecessary to accuse them of being sock puppets of the Koch Brothers or investigate their treatment of classmates fifty years ago, which would simplify governance.
Such universal availability of access to weapons will require a level of security much greater than that pursued by penny-ante rackets such as Goldman Sachs or Home Depot. The system must ensure that the person initiating nuclear war is actually the President and not some hacker from Russia impersonating him to phish for credit-card information. Adding a fingerprint reader to the nuclear football is one option, though no one wants to propose fingerprinting the President, as though he were some sort of awkward social misfit. Retina scans is another alternative that worked pretty well in Star Trek.
The solution the Department of Defense has settled on is to require the President to enter his Social Security number to verify his identity. The same solution has been embraced by every bank and financial institution, and by many fine chain-stores, and there is no sign that it can be misused, as no one knows the number except the individual to whom it is assigned.
edit Other availabilities
In parallel to availability (which argues that "a weapon is no good if it is not there when you need it"), the Army has recently prioritized adaptability, which says that "a weapon is no good, even if it is there when you need it, if you are in a desert and the weapon jams in sandstorms." Note that hair brushes are always adaptable.
The term availability is also widely used, and misused, in commerce. For example, an automobile manufacturer may state that four-on-the-floor and Synchro-mesh are "available" options. What this means is that they are "unavailable," unless you pay extra.

Bought 2 pair for myself and my partner for an outing. They are the most comforable pair of golf shorts I own. Fabric has a little give to it. Hand goes in and out of the pocket easily, even in humid weather. Worth the price.

London, April 11, 2017
In January, Posco, a Korean steel producer, brought LD (BOF) converter no. 1 back into operation after modernization in steel works no. 1 at its Gwangyang site. In the course of the project, Primetals Technologies had equipped the converter with a new tilting drive. The tilting drive is designed for a long service life and ease of maintenance, and still has dimensioning and performance reserves. Emergency drives ensure almost 100% availability. For critical states, such as power failure or peak loads, a special safety concept was implemented that maximizes personal and operational safety. Primetals Technologies received the modernization order at the end of 2015.
Posco thoroughly modernized the converter, which had been constructed in the 1980s and had reached the end of its service life. Primetals Technologies was responsible for the engineering and delivery of the tilting drive, as well as for consulting services for its installation and commissioning. The remaining converter components were installed by Posco. The modernization took place while the other two converters in steel works no. 1 remained in operation and, as a result of the good cooperation between Posco and Primetals Technologies, was completed five days before the scheduled deadline.

Financial Liberalization, Foreign Ownership and Corporate Operational Efficiency: The Case of Taiwan Market
Using a non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, this paper investigates the investment allocation choices of foreign investors and how the foreign ownership and corporate operational efficiency play roles in Taiwan market with more financial liberalization. Empirical results suggest a possible channel. Through this channel, a high level of foreign ownership significantly positively affects corporate operational efficiency, and then higher operational efficiency triggers better performance. With more liberalization, some foreign investors are not only speculators, but also they play the role of monitoring or disciplinary. They improve corporate operational efficiency and performance, and thus in turn their investment profits, especially high-tech and exporting companies. These two roles are not mutually exclusive. The case of Taiwan market may have established a paradigm for developing countries to follow.

Stakes wins on resumes of two fillies
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Malika's Gold is one of two stakes winners who will be making their 3-year-old debuts Thursday in the featured ninth race at Oaklawn Park. The two-other-than allowance for 3-year-old fillies at six furlongs also drew Queansco, a stakes winner who will add Lasix for her first race since last fall.
won two of four starts last year, with her biggest score a front-running win in the $100,000 La Senorita at one mile on turf at Retama Park on Sept. 4. One start prior, Malika's Gold won her career debut in a five-furlong race at Canterbury Park. She has not raced since an eighth-place finish in the $40,000 E.L. Gaylord Memorial at Remington Park on Nov. 26.
"We gave her a little time," said Randy Oberlander, who trains Malika's Gold for Tim Hoese. "We expect good things out of her this summer. I'm going to go to Prairie Meadows [after Oaklawn], and there's several 3-year-old filly stakes up there we can run in."
Malika's Gold has natural speed and shows a strong series of works for her return. She drilled a bullet five furlongs in 1:00.20 on March 13, then had a four-furlong blowout in 48.60 seconds on Monday.
Oberlander looks for her to be close to the pace Thursday.
"It depends on how the race sets up, but she's always shown enough early speed where, hopefully, she can just lay off the speed," he said. "And if there's not a lot of speed, she might be the speed."
Cliff Berry has the mount on Malika's Gold, who is a daughter of Gold Case.
won the $80,000 Iowa Sorority for statebreds at Prairie Meadows in August. She last raced on Sept. 19, when she finished eighth in the Grade 3 Arlington-Washington Lassie at Arlington Park.
Queansco shows a bullet five-furlong work and a blowout for her return. Trainer Tim Gleason has given the mount to Tim Doocy.
Thursday's field is completed by , an impressive allowance winner; Loramateal, third last time to the fast True Tails; Fast Baby, who returns to racing with fillies after facing colts; Okie Nicole, a half-sister to millionaire Bien Nicole; and Silky Baby, from the high-percentage barn of trainer Steve Asmussen.
Swede wired a field of entry-level allowance foes on Feb. 16 in her last start.

World markets appear to be hovering over a precipice as Europe's sovereign debt crisis, slowdowns in India and China and further bank downgrades threaten to send stocks and commodities down even further. Falling oil and gas prices may offer some respite to consumers but are they enough to help the economy or are they a symptom of deeper problems?
To help Oilprice.com look at these issues and more we are joined by the well known investor, adventurer and author Jim Rogers. Jim is the creator of the Rogers International Commodity Index, he also recently completed a book called: A Gift to my Children – which helps people learn from their triumphs and mistakes in order to achieve a prosperous, well-lived life. Please click on the following link to find out more information on A Gift to my Children.
In the interview Jim talks about the following:
- Why recent oil price falls are a good buying opportunity
- Why oil prices could fall to $40 a barrel
- Investment opportunities with the renewable energy sector
- Why he is optimistic about Nuclear energy
- Why agriculture offers good opportunities to investors
- Why Myanmar is the best investment opportunity in the world right now
- Why there could be further unrest in the Middle East
- Why we should let Greece fail
Interview conducted by. James Stafford of Oilprice.com
Oilprice.com: Jim, thanks for taking the time to join us today.
Jim Rogers: I'm delighted to be here, James. My pleasure.
Oilprice.com:It's been an interesting period in the energy world as we've seen oil prices steadily decline over the past few months and with the problems in Europe and slowdowns in India and China do you expect this trend to continue?
Jim Rogers: Well, there is certainly a correction going on for various reasons. I think Saudi Arabia's trying to help re-elect Mr. Obama. There are also stories that JP Morgan has problems in its London office with a lot of unauthorized positions they're having to liquidate. I don't know what's going on, but I do know that corrections are normal in the industrial world. There's nothing unusual about it. If it continues, there's an opportunity to buy more.
Oilprice.com: I read a report by the Economist Phil Verleger who thinks that the Saudi's massive increase in oil production along with other economic problems could cause oil prices crash to $40 a barrel oil and $2 a gallon gasoline by November. Do you think this is a reasonable forecast and we could see oil at these levels?
Jim Rogers: We could see anything. We certainly saw lower prices than that back in 2008 when there was a collapse. When things are collapsing, all sorts of strange things happen. We found that out in 2008 and we will probably find out in the future, as well. If oil does go to $40, that means it'll just be setting up an even more bullish scenario for the duration of the bull market.
Oilprice.com: How do you see the energy markets reacting to the Iranian sanctions, which are going to be coming into effect on the first of July?
Jim Rogers: Oh, I don't see that having much effect at all. Everybody already knows about that – nothing new to the markets. They have long since adjusted to this news, whether it be stock markets, smuggling, etc. The Iranian sanctions are a non-event as far as I'm concerned.
Now, an attack on Iran would not be a non-event, but this is just more noise.
Oilprice.com: The Middle East Petocracy's, along with Venezuela and Russia must be nervously watching the price of oil. Can you see potential problems developing in these countries and other oil producing nations if prices continue to fall?
Jim Rogers: That's part of what I was saying before. The lower prices go for the fundamentals, the price of fundamentals improve, but for these countries the money they have available to buy peace is running out and there are going to be problems, because a lot of people have been lead to believe that the government can solve their problems and if the government runs out of money, it makes people upset.
Oilprice.com: Crude oil has dropped from $108 a barrel in February to $84 today. Do you thinklow oil prices could provide an economic stimulus?
Jim Rogers: Certainly, it's an economic stimulus for everybody who buys oil. There's no question about that. On the other hand, for people who produce oil, it's a negative. Now obviously more of us buy oil than produce oil, but it's important to remember it does cut both ways.
Oilprice.com: Less than 0.1% of U.S. cars and trucks run on natural gas and with falling natural gas prices and America's dependence on oil and vulnerability to oil price shocks – I was hoping to get your thoughts on natural gas usage for transportation?
Jim Rogers: Well, If natural gas stays this low compared to oil prices, it does give an incentive todevelop natural gas powered vehicles and I think we are going to see more and more developments here. Is it going to end the use of oil, combustion engines? Probably not any time soon. Someday it could, but someday is a long way away.
Oilprice.com: Do you believe natural gas prices are near to a bottom, or do you think they have further to fall?
Jim Rogers: U.S. natural gas is somewhere near its bottom, in my view. The problem is I expect to see serious economic problems in 2013 and 2014 in the U.S. If and when that happens, we're going to see a final panic in the markets and the economy and everything will have a crescendo and a selling climax.
We're certainly a lot closer than we were. Although, when you have a selling climax in markets, you go to levels much lower than most people believe possible and that may happen. Whatever that bottom is, it's not too far from the recent lows in natural gas.
Natural gas in many other places such as the UK are much, much higher than they are in the U.S.
Oilprice.com: The Arab Spring shook energy markets in 2011 – are there any potential geopolitical events taking place apart from the Iranian situation that could cause oil prices to skyrocket?
Jim Rogers: There are always geo-political possibilities. If oil goes down, Saudi Arabia's going to have more trouble buying peace. Any country's going to have more problems buying peace.
Iraq is being driven into the arms of Iran. America has spent staggering amounts of money in this region, and what we're getting for it is a possible alliance between Iran and Iraq.
All sorts of things could happen in the future, especially if Iran and Iraq get closer together. That's going to put America in a terrible situation, the world in a terrible situation. The good news is the world is always changing dramatically. The bad news is, the world is always changing dramatically.
Oilprice.com:The media has gotten behind shale gas and it's being promoted as a worldwide energy saviour. What are your thoughts on shale gas? Do you think it's been oversold or it really

It wouldn't be a Monday morning without some postgame analysis of Randy Moss's behavior, would it?
Enough with the breakdowns and the guessing. We want to know what's going on from the man himself, so we went inside the brain of Randy Moss.
"I was just teaching the kids about the lunar calendar."
"I was just showing coach that I had indeed pulled my head out of my ..."
"Hey, why does my helmet say 'Warning! Content under pressure! Do not puncture this container!'?"
"My therapist told me this was a lot healthier than pushing people with a Lexus."
"You think this was bad? Fine! Roll the Airborne commercial!"
"Come on! It's not like I sang an Ashlee Simpson song!"
"You should have seen the version I practiced with Nicollette Sheridan."

The Best Budget Gaming Desktop PCs
Not everyone has the discretionary cash to spend on a tricked-out gaming desktop. Those of us in the 99% are likely to top out at $600 to $1,000 for a gaming PC. But these days, it's not that difficult to find a gaming PC that's strong on features and performance without emptying your wallet. We give you several budget gaming desktop PCs to consider.
AMD's release of its A-series APUs has helped contribute to the majority of sub-$1,000 budget gaming rigs. These chipsets are unique to Intel's series of Core i-processors, in that they contain the CPU and GPU on the same die. And while a chip can never replace a dedicated graphics card, the A8-3800 APU equipped in most of the desktops listed below, scored playable frame rates on DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 gaming tests. Its caveat is in day-to-day performance, where traditional processing power is required, the A8-3800 trails just behind Intel's Core i3 CPU (the lowest processor in the Core i-series). You'll be able to browse the Web and open applications with relative quickness, but manipulating images in Photoshop CS5 or encoding a video will show it can't quite keep pace with Intel.
Also, if you find yourself with an extra $300 on hand after buying one of the AMD APU units, you can always drop that money on a new 600 Watt power supply and a more powerful dedicated GPU to up your gaming experience.
The AMD A8-3800 is the recession-friendly choice, but if you have a bit more money on hand, putting it into a custom builder like iBuypower is the economical choice over purchasing from a mainstream manufacturer like Dell or HP. Granted, you'll have to pick an choose each component, but its worth your while if you know what your looking for in a gaming rig.
Below are several desktops that have been tested and reviewed by our analysts.
See the performance tests results chart.
iBuypower Gamer Power BTS11
Price: $999 direct
With a strong feature set and plenty of powerful components to satisfy any budding gamer and tinkerer, the iBuypower Gamer Power BTS11 is a good buy for anyone looking to save on a desktop gaming rig. Read the full review ››
Asus Essentio CM1740-04
Price: $549.99 list
The Asus Essentio CM1740-04 is a great entry-level desktop, and even though its AMD Llano APU may be slower than its Intel-equipped competitors in day-to-day productivity tasks, it has an edge on the gaming grid that Intel's integrated graphics just can't duplicate. On top of all this, it offers a fair amount of room for future expansion. Read the full review ››
HP Pavilion p7-1126s
Price: $559.99 list
At the first sign of CPU-intensive tasks, like video encoding or Photoshop editing, the HP Pavilion p7-1126s's AMD A8-3800 APU slows considerably. However, its Radeon HD 6550D graphics processor kicks the stuffing out of Intel's integrated graphics when it comes to gaming. Read the full review ››
Acer AM3470-UC30P
Price: $599.99 list
The Acer AM3470-UC30P won't break any performance records in day-to-day productivity test, but it does offer some nice features, like a 23-inch monitor, USB 3.0 interface, and solid gaming performance, for a reasonable price. Read the full review ››

So, there's this guy in my dance class whom I dance with in class and chat/text with almost everyday. Our text convos are short but daily.
He came over to say hi when he recognized me in the library last week, but other than that we only see each other on Friday evenings when we have class.
Last Friday (two days ago), he offered to drive me home after class - this was actually the second time, and the first time I declined but this time I said yes (he has a nice car, btw).
The day before that, I actually asked him out to the Mariah Carey concert I got tickets for, and he declined saying he doesn't like crowds... So, that.. blew my chance. I don't want to ask him out a second time... :(
But... Should I? Maybe just ask him to lunch or dinner? Or should I keep waiting? I hate being the one to ask.
There's no reason why we can't go out, it's just that we have barely anything in common except for the fact that we're in a dance class together and we have the same kind of dog. He's an engeneering major; I'm a music peformance+education major. I love Italian food; he hates it. I'm all about concerts, bars, and shopping in the city; he's a stay-at-home-and-chill-with-my-dog kind of person. He doesn't like crowds. I'm all focused on school and my future while he's like, "chill, you take school too seriously." I tend to be oftentimes pessimistic and/or anxious while he's always positive and telling me to chill.
- It doesn't matter if you have barely anything in common/try againVote A
- Unless you have more in common he won't like you/move onVote B
Most Helpful Guy
I find people that are into different things to actually be better. You get to learn about new stuff and you have different interests so you have separate lives outside of each other.
Guys are kind of dumb, although he should have noticed you were trying to get him out on a date, I see no problem giving it one last try. If you ask him out to dinner he can't say he doesn't like to eat so this will at least give you a good gauge on if he's interested in you or not.11|00|0

By ELIZABETH FOOTE
Staff Writer
Dr. Juilee Decker, an art professor at Georgetown College, and her Curatorial Studies class opened the Georgetown College Stories exhibit Friday, Sept. 21. This is the project's seventh year, making it a tradition of its own. Decker's eight students searched through the school archives, including old scrapbooks, Belle of the Blues and Georgetonians, compiled old interviews with alumni, students and faculty; and did some interviewing themselves.
During the exhibit's Fireside chat, a few of the students spoke about their involvement in the project. Lynsey Jordan said she wished Georgetown still did some of the traditions that have since died out. Most of the students said their favorite part of the project was getting to interview the alumni.
As Dr. Dave Foreman spoke a few words, he wore the freshman beanie he had received in 1968. He reminisced about meeting his wife in Gidding's Hall, which used to house the theater. Mr. Eugene Enlow, class of '44, spoke of when he was a Kappa Alpha, and one year they took a boy out to a farm yard and just left him there while they went to a sweets shop. When they got to the sweets shop, the boy had beat them there, claiming a goat had chased him all the way back. From then on they called the boy "Goat." Enlow is publishing his life story in a book called "A Legacy of Faith," which comes out on Oct. 4. You can listen to parts of his memoir at the audio portion of the stories exhibit.
One part of the exhibit includes a picture of Georgetown's campus in 1945. Its information card explains that the Cooke Memorial Library was being built at this time, South campus was just farm land, the Greek housing was off campus and freshman lived in Rucker Hall, which has since been torn down. Below the picture of campus are various objects including a booklet containing Georgetown College President Adam's greeting to the students in the 1914-1915 school year, pictures of Janie Hill Polk, class of 1953, with her family and a "Remember when 1954" pamphlet which tells the story of Martha Hagen. Hagen, a '54 alumnus, married a man in the military while at Georgetown. They could not live in the married dorms, because returning WWII veterans had filled all of the rooms, so Martha lived in the Sigma Kappa house during the week and in a hotel with her husband on the weekends. On their 50-year wedding anniversary, she gave her husband a "Remember when 1954" pamphlet.
One cabinet displays co-education themed items such as a graduation certificate from 1890 (the first year of the female seminary), an 1898 Belle of the Blue about co-education and a Nov. 1910 issue of the Georgetonian about Dr. J. J. Rucker who helped start the co-education of Georgetown College.
Another display contains a beanie that freshmen were required to wear, a cheerleading uniform from the 1980s and a letter sweater from the 1920s. Its information card explains the origin of the college radio, WRVG, which started as a class project in 1963.
My personal favorite display was the wall of pranks. One prank involved Bob Mills and his fellow Lambda Chi Alpha brothers stealing accessories off the Phi Kappa Alpha fire truck, breaking holes in the walls of their dorm, putting the accessories in the walls and then resealing and painting the wall. Although the house has sense been sold, as far as they know, the items are still there.
Other displays include a station where you can listen to interviews with alumni, a replica of a float piece that would have been in the homecoming parades and much more. The exhibit will be up in the Cochenour Gallery in the LRC until Oct. 3, so come check it out.

I just read IGN's article on Sony's new PSN Pass program. I am wondering when, rather than if, all games are going to have some sort of activation code or all games are sold online through a virtual store and are therefore attached permanently to your account. It makes sense because the game industry struggles already to make the amazing games we love. More work and less pay seems to be the future for game developers. What do you guys think the solution to this is? Is it making so everyone has to pay full price? Is it providing some sort of subscription? I already struggle to buy all the games I want to play. I'm no expert in business. I'm hoping the industry comes up with a solution that is feasible and I'm sure they will. What are you guys' thoughts?
