NW Permaculture Convergence
Workshop: "Tearing Down the Silos" by
Willi Paul and Friends.
'...In the long run, building community is about democracy. Many communities of practice and interest thrive under autocratic moderation, and they are useful as informed, interactive versions of refereed journals, but the power of increasing returns - where the community itself directs the growth of its size and value - can only emerge from an infectious spirit of voluntary collaboration.' -

Willi Paul:
Thanks for coming. My name is Willi Paul. I come from the peninsula in the Bay Area and really welcome the moisture in the air. It's really unusual. I live with the drought. What I have in my heart is that we need to help permaculture evolve with things that we already have and integrate those forces because one of the basic tenants of this presentation is that permaculture can't do this alone. It's evolving too slow. It's underfunded. It's fractured. It's whatever you want to call it. But that's not what the focus is. I'm trying to get you to look at the synergy between Permaculture, the Transition movement, Mythology and SpiritNature.
So what I want to do first is ask you what permaculture is to you.
Responsible land management.
Willi Paul:
Okay, good. Anybody else? This is supposed to be the positive stuff.
Community building.
Willi Paul:
Okay. Community building. Anyone else?
A full circle of resources?
Willi Paul:
Great livelihood.
Willi Paul:
A great livelihood. Okay. That's a good list. Okay. Now we're going to jump into something that isn't really part of the weekend, per se, but Transition. Who could tell me what a Transition is supposed to be like?
Powering down.
Willi Paul:
Yes? How about localization? More localization.
Public community.
Willi Paul:
Okay, good. See, now we're overlapping values, which is key. And what else?
A sustainable economic system? Sustainable economics.
Willi Paul:
I'll just put sustainability. One more? Sir, do you know what transition is, just to pick on you?
I've only been exposed to like Transition Townes; you know? Mostly up in Canada. Responsive stuff on that.
Willi Paul:
Okay. So that's kind of a re-focus of government, right? Localization. Okay, on to mythology.
Willi Paul:
Stories. What else about mythology is part of the force?
Passing wisdom.
Common symbols between cultures and people.
Willi Paul:
That's cool. Also I would pose that mythology is also about projecting the future and taking a look at that, and getting ahead of the curve. So I'll put future here. All right. Now, I've had a long standing dialogue with perma-culturalists about spirit versus religion, and as a person here standing here today advocating spirituality, not religion. That's where I got to.
So who can chew on SpiritNature as a force? What does that mean to you, if anything? Use just Nature if you wish.
A deep understanding of our connection as humans to the rest of the world.
Willi Paul:
But as an ecology.
Willi Paul:
Nice. Who can give me a sense of what having a spirit for in nature is, and how we support nature? What is this all about? How can you verbalize that feeling?
Something that's a connection? Something that's different than just resources. It's like a different level of being.
Willi Paul:
Connection is something much larger than anything the human mind can hold.
Willi Paul:
Yeah, transcending the self.
Willi Paul:
Right on.
(Laugh) It's like truth bumps. People who say goosebumps are truth bumps. It feels like that. It's -
Willi Paul:
Nice. Okay. Now we can start to see a pattern here of commonality, or maybe of just love and thought that you might want to try these things together. That's what I'm up to. Integration and opportunities. So let's talk about how mythology and permaculture intersect. What is there? Do you have a sense of that?
Willi Paul:
You're not supposed to, you see. It's not really built yet. But we're going to work on it today. So there are symbols in permaculture that I've done a lot of work with. There are some stories coming, more and more, right? Bands singing songs. So that's the sort of bridging I want you to think about. It could be media, you know. It could be a website, or something like that. Does that make sense?
How does media interconnect?
Willi Paul:
Oh, we're going to promote leading over here this morning, and the drum song, and then it gets out in my website - it's content. And the content would be part of bridging these two things together. Is that important? Or does that sound possible? I mean is that too sacred a thing to make media?
I just meant connecting it to myth, really, but okay.
Willi Paul:
Well, I agree. And what about transitioning through a spiritual nature? Do you have any sense of how that would intersect?
Connecting with your heart.
Willi Paul:
Ceremonies and group work.
Yeah, ritual.
Yeah, ritual. Yeah.
Willi Paul:
Yeah, ritual is a big deal. I would say that the gathering and the drum prayer this morning are rituals. And that could be charted and given to other folks to practice. That is part of what I'm trying to say here, to build this movement, we need to have ritual. Okay. Does anybody want to add anything to this sort of schema before we talk about solutions? Any other ideas?
I think - can I try my hand of an example of what you mean by media?
Willi Paul:
So like this morning I've been holding a morning circle over Zoom technology with the spiritual community that meets a non-profit community that I'm a part of. And so it's not necessarily creating like public media, per se, but like connecting us. Like I'm keeping the conversation going so that we're spreading it in our world, so it's kind of like human to human media, almost? I don't know if that makes sense or -
Yeah. They're keeping the dialogue going. And the support going in building the community. Like that's what I see about what you mean.
Willi Paul:
Yeah, I like that. You know, I have to confess, I'm a sort of a pessimist. I think we're heading toward a fairly large crash in this country and this world. So my opinion would be let's get that connectedness out there and share it as fast as we can.
Exactly. That's in the solutions kind of. It's like that's -
Willi Paul:
Right, correct. So we could put media here as a solution.
Always live.
Conversations. Yeah, builds support.
Willi Paul:
Okay. So let's talk about solutions. My PDC teachers were all about solutions. We would talk about problems all the time; well, what about this, and what about that? Then they would flip it and go: let's talk about solutions, really. Make it positive. Make it an attraction. Get it going forward. So who has any ideas about integrating and getting these things out there. Your idea of humans is really good.
Like using our technology to actually connect us. Like not say it's connecting us, like Facebook kind of does it to excess, but.
Willi Paul:
We have a group telling us, a sustainability group that actually did connect through Facebook.
That's awesome.
Yeah, it's really cool. It's been cool, except for the bogged down issue statement stuff.
I'm kind of new in the area, and one of the things I did to like, and I had never used it in the past, to meet people who had similar values and interests, like MeetUp.com where you form groups. And people who are like, you know, either new in the area, or they're getting interested in something that their friends and families aren't really into, and it's like, well, how do I connect with these people who share the same interests?
You can create a group on there.
Meet-Up is great. Have you ever been on MeetUp? Have you seen MeetUp?
Willi Paul:
Constantly. For years.
Yeah. You're like this is such a, you know. (CROSSTALK)
For me, like the thing that's appealing is just taking it away from a one-dimensional idea, and I like the idea of pulling in music, pulling in the community, pulling in yoga, where you got like there's one member in the family or whatever that's interested versus the whole community and really pulling it into where everybody's getting something out of it.
Willi Paul:
One of the things I'd like to suggest we talk about is tradition. Because I'm really interested in making new tradition, which to many is a weird concept, because they have their traditions, they just really don't care. So it's a tough one. But why don't we create a new tradition out of this gathering this weekend? What do you need to have a tradition?
Willi Paul:
Need some people.
Yeah, we need some people. We need some common -
People action. Commonalities.
Willi Paul:
People action, values. Repetition. I mean it needs to be taught and then carried on, right?
Willi Paul:
So that's important, a carryover.
I like the idea that they were talking about where the elders are meeting with the young people because we need to learn from somewhere, and I feel like where I've learned a lot of stories and rituals from older people.
Agreed. Like multigenerational transition. Yeah.
Willi Paul:
That's brilliant.
Allowing it to evolve also. Like allowing us to learn and keep growing together and the young people have got what they've got and the old people and like I think what you're speaking to is, to me, feels like an evolving tradition.
Not too rigid.
And being in that flow of like finding what's good, holding on to it and letting it go when it no longer required.
Something that's really live for me is the, I mean, the value of diversity and having safe and inclusive subgroups, I mean, we're not all the same. We don't all have the same values. We're very, you know, there's a bit of homogony around here.
Yeah. Healthy concept resolution to be able to do that.
Yeah, and just raising awareness of the value of differences.
And that, you know, whatever particular thing in the realm of all these concepts can be manifested in really different ways depending on what the community is and what the country is and what the cultural background is. We're not pushing to a monolithic unit anymore.
It doesn't serve us.
And there's a real tendency to, you know, whatever we're into is what everybody else is going to be into and it's not.
Not one answer.
Yeah, yeah, which is valuing -
It's killing us.
Willi Paul:
Diversity. Yeah, it's a big deal.
And just valuing it, yeah. Let's just do it. It's raising awareness.
Yeah, acknowledge the power dynamics that are in the middle of that and it's, you know, it's -
Being open and being confronted too.
Like we all screw up. You know?
Like being able to be called into that.
Yep. Yeah.
Just some light work.
Yeah, a big deal.
Willi Paul:
Well, let's explore my possible solution to this integration. This is what this is about. And I'll introduce it by saying that a community of practice is typically a professional business group. It doesn't really exist to make money, it's about being together and talking, sharing having coffee and having an event every maybe once in a while. So that's what we mean about community of practice. It's about acknowledging the boundaries that's very important to have. So does anybody else have a sense of community of practice? Have you heard of that phrase before?
I have, and to me it sounds a little, it gets me a little nervous when I hear that, that it's kind of structured in - I'm an engineer, so it's like this is what we do, this is like, you know. So do you have any thoughts on that?
Willi Paul:
Yes, it's a transitionary tool. It's something that gets us to the next level. It's not about (inaudible).
So the meetings will stop at some point and there will be action.
Willi Paul:
I don't know where it would go, I'm just thinking of jumping off the cliff and here it is. It's like a chamber of commerce, as you can read on this outline. It's a gathering, it's got a director and stuff like that.
A mission statement and everything.
Willi Paul:
Mm-hmm. This organization is also online. It's more online than off, but it could be both.
Are you open to us like evolving it with you in this conversation? Like can we be on the story process? Because I think it's a great starting point and I think what you're saying it's important to think about like do we need, how much structure is really needed to have it be -
And what does it again? What are you thinking would be valuable about that structure? Is it initially so that people can understand it and its solid and it's clear? That kind of thing?
Willi Paul:
Yeah, initially it's not about this fourscore sort of human from these four areas and drilling down that's really kind of what I see.
And maybe too rigid from this group, but the majority of people would feel very comfortable in that kind of structure.
And that's kind of what, because everyone's really looking at the economics sustainability really pointing towards business.
Stuck in capitalism still.
Yeah, stuck in the real structure, so, yeah, maybe transition it that way.
Willi Paul:
What do you think of the COP idea as a traditional organization?
Yeah, it hasn't permeated through me yet, so I'll come up with something when I do.
I don't really understand what it would look and feel like. I've never been in a business community of practice. I'm part of an intentional community. That's a community of practice. But I've been in NBC practice groups, that's a community of practice.
Willi Paul:
Good. Good examples.
There's so many ways that those things are integrated in my life, but I realize that that's not the case for a lot of people and it's not the case, you can see examples of it where it is silo'ed. So, you know, practices, there's a lot of different ways to get people to integrate previously silo'ed.
Willi Paul:
To be honest, the biggest thing about this, for me is that it's a non-profit. It's not existing to make money. It's taking us out of that realm, out of that turn. I give up after that. You're giving me other examples of this COP and they're all valid. So don't get stuck on the COP, get stuck on how it works.
Have you heard of B Corporations?
Willi Paul:
I wonder if it would be successful to the B Corporation too, because I feel, to me, non-profits have this thing like we can't make money. And I don't think we need, to me, I feel like money could be a tool. We could allow it to be an exchange thing, or we can transition it into whatever we want. And like the non-profit, some people call industrial complex, can be something that is exhausting for people, because they've worked themselves to the bone and don't get paid enough. And I think that that's, it's like self-sacrifice, to a certain degree. And I think we can do better. And I think we have done better already with things that like are mutually promoted. Like when I hear you say business group I totally see how can we help each other do what we love and make the world better? And be better ourselves for it?
Willi Paul:
And that's beautiful. And I, like your vision is really lovely and I'm excited that you have it.
Willi Paul:
It's all yours.
That's awesome.
Willi Paul:
Well, guys, I really would suggest that you keep in touch with me. I may actually put something like this together, I don't know, we'll see, but I'm really happy that you come and share your ideas. And, you know, as we go onwards, what you can find here -
Could you tell the story of, like weave a story of what the formation of one of these communities of practice as you would love it to manifest, so that we can tap into the mythology and get some spirit coming through here with your vision. Because you've been working on this, and you have a story, and I will remember a story rather than a brainstorm.
Willi Paul:
Okay. Well, there's a place in Oakland called Lake Merritt. And it's polluted, a storm water run-off pond in the Bay. So it's a pretty sad place. But if you would put together some storytellers, and some localization folks, and some technology from permaculture, putting those together you could address the solution to Lake Merritt, and you start heal not only Lake Merritt but yourself in this little group of people. And you could also create media to share your stories, to start getting out the word. So that's a quick one. All right, guys. Thank you. That's it. Thanks for coming. (APPLAUSE)

Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera planned to rejoin the team in Seattle Tuesday night after his domestic violence trial was abruptly canceled Monday afternoon in Arizona.
Prosecutors dismissed the case against him Monday in court, allowing him to return to the team in time for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Cabrera, 25, had just arrived in Arizona from Milwaukee, where he went 0-for-3 on Sunday in a 6-5 loss to the Brewers.
"We were ready to proceed to trial, but they (prosecutors) wanted to dismiss," said Richard Suzuki, Cabrera's attorney. "It lasted five minutes or so."
No explanation was given by prosecutors in Glendale, Ariz. The charge was dismissed "without prejudice," meaning the case against him could be re-filed at some point by next March. That doesn't appear likely, however.
Suzuki speculated that the case was dropped because of "discrepancies about what happened that night."
On March 16, Cabrera was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault in Glendale, about five miles from the Padres' spring training home in Peoria. Glendale police responded to a call early that morning about a fight between Cabrera and his wife. According to the police report, Cabrera assaulted his wife by hitting her in the face with a closed fist and slamming her head against the wall.
Suzuki said his client was defending himself. According to the police report, Cabrera said his wife hit him and had been throwing things at him, including a water glass that hit the wall so hard it made a hole in it. Police noted scratches on his left hand. "Everth later said he must have gotten them from her scratching him," the police report states.
The prosecutors could not be reached Monday for comment.
By taking the case to the brink of trial, Cabrera took a risk, but it paid off for him in the end. He previously rejected a plea bargain offer from prosecutors and instead hoped to clear his name in court.
If he had been convicted, jail time could have interfered with his baseball career.
The trial was set for Monday in part to accommodate it: It was an off day for the Padres after Sunday's defeat in Milwaukee. While the rest of the team headed to Seattle after the game, Cabrera flew to Arizona on his own.
By the end of the day, he was back at the airport, ready to return to team after his one-day detour in the desert.
He's currently hitting .263 in 22 games since his call-up from Triple-A Tucson last month.

ATLANTA - Perched along the edge of the Downtown Expressway that bisects Atlanta is an architectural oddity in black glass, a 23-story tower that is wider at the top than at the bottom, almost as if the builders were holding the blueprints upside down during construction.
On the top floor, David Ratcliffe occupies a corner office that could be called modest when compared with the offices of other chief executives of companies with $4.8 billion annual revenues.
Mr. Ratcliffe's 30-year career with Georgia Power Co. began on the ground floor when he was hired as a young Valdosta State College graduate with a degree in biology. A law degree and a series of promotions brought the 52-year-old in June 1999 to the presidency of the company, the hot seat, as he describes it.
Later this month, he will face the five members of the Georgia Public Service Commission - and several adversarial attorneys and a handful of reporters - to argue why the company needs a $103 million increase in its base rate charged to all 2 million customers across the state.
He'll also argue for the company to be allowed to keep more profits.
He says he's looking forward to testifying.
"I don't see how this story is a tough sale," Mr. Ratcliffe said. "I haven't raised your rates in 10 years. I gave back $286 million in 1998."
More power is being generated while air-pollution emissions are being reduced, he said.
It's rare for CEOs of regulated utilities to testify before the rate-setting commission. Mr. Ratcliffe acknowledges that he would have sent an underling had he considered the request controversial.
He might have misjudged the reaction. Consumer advocates have said publicly what some commissioners have said privately, that instead of raising rates, Georgia Power will most likely end up reducing them. And they use words such as stunning, audacious and unbelievable to describe the proposal Mr. Ratcliffe is trying to sell.
The net effect of the plan, critics charge, is to generate cash for Georgia Power's parent, the Southern Co., and its stockholders.
"David, I think, is trying to do the job he corporately needs to do," said Payton Hawes Jr., counsel for the Georgia Textile Manufacturers Association, a trade group opposing the rate increase. Textile mills are among the largest users of electricity in the state.
Georgia Power persuaded the commission in 1998 to allow it to keep a return on equity of up to 12.5 percent and split anything more than that with customers in the form of a refund. Last month, it refunded $44 million.
Warmer summers and colder winters have boosted company earnings in recent years, including an 11.8 percent rise in the first half of this year compared with the same period in 2000.
Mr. Ratcliffe says as weather returns to normal patterns those earnings will decline, but that the company still needs to be able to keep a greater share in order to persuade investors to lend the company money for building new plants and stringing transmission lines.
Co-workers consider the soft-spoken Mr. Ratcliffe unassuming, dedicated to his employees and highly competent.
"He seems to have concern for employees' interests. Always seemed to have a grasp of the technical concerns," said Les Preiss, an Atlanta-based engineer with Xenergy Consulting Inc. of Burlington, Mass.
Mr. Ratcliffe counts debating points on his fingers as he talks unapologetically about legal battles the company faces. In one, the utility is fighting federal pollution regulations on three older coal-fired generating plants.
In another, former and current black employees are seeking to sue the company on behalf of all black employees, alleging Georgia Power systematically discriminated against minority workers.
Environmentalists and discrimination attorneys, including Johnnie Cochran, plan to ask the commission to reject any rate increase until Georgia Power settles both suits.
The commission is not likely to consider either suit because they are allowed to evaluate only the costs to generate and distribute electricity, not social-policy issues.
Mr. Ratcliffe confronts the issues head-on.
"I don't have any doubt over the course of our history, with 8,500-plus people, I'm absolutely certain that I have people who do things wrong from time to time," he said. "When we find them doing things wrong, we will move aggressively to correct the situation and correct the people."
Still, he acknowledges that he is offended by the criticism, especially from environmentalists. As a biologist, he says he shares the company's long commitment to adhering to regulatory limits on emissions.
But he said he also has a commitment to 500,000 shareholders and 2 million ratepayers that prohibits him from lowering emissions beyond the required amounts when huge costs would be incurred.
One environmentalist gives him credit for making an effort.
"We have not yet seen a major shift with the company with issues that we're concerned about," said Rita Kilpatrick, the executive director of Georgians for Clean Energy. "However, we have observed an interest on the part of the company to start developing more environmentally friendly projects. That is good."
When he sits in the witness seat at the commission Sept. 10, the former teacher who once headed public relations for his company is likely to make observers listen.
Georgia Power's rate increase proposal, which will be voted on by state regulators in December, would allow the utility to keep more of its profits. Specifically:
Weather-related profits above 13.5 percent would be split one-third to the company and two-thirds as a refund to customers.
Nonweather-related profits above 13.5 percent would be split evenly, half to customers, half to the company.
Starting in June, rates would increase 1.2 percent annually for five years to pay for power plant construction, about $30 million the first year.
About $380 million in customer money held by the company to cushion the costs of electric deregulation would be applied to pay down company construction loans because deregulation is unlikely soon.

text: I fished Big Twin 10/13-10/14. Fishing was great for little guys, tough for the larger ones. Most everything was in the 10"-12" range. Fun on a 7' 4wt. Only landed 3 larger than 16". Went to Blue Lake (Sinlahekin) from 10/15-10/18. Thats when the real fun began! I fished the "pond" for 3 days solid and was the only one there! My first cast I caught a chunky 15" Brown who went airborn on me several times. Proceeded to have hot fishing all three days. I used the same two flies the whole time. A #10 olive "hale bopp" (my version) on a sink tip and a #8 brown articulated leech on a type III. Fish size avereaged about 15". Largest Brown 18", largest Cutt 20", largest Bow 22" (caught on my last cast of the trip!). Wed. night the stars came out. The crescent moon reflecting off the glass surface of the lake. I sat by my campfire listening to coyotes howling, owls hooting, and fish savagely slapping the surface of the lake. Spectacular scenery, phenominal fishing, my own private lake. It was perfection!

Is WP.com ever going to get a better, more customizable flickr widget? I'd like to see something at least along the lines of the official flickr badge where we could make it look like floating thumbnails by matching background colors.
other cool things would be to have a grid view or something.
ideal wishful thinking would be the flash version of the flickr badge. or simply, supporting it.

Am running gnome with Openbox and Slim. Am starting gnome-settings-daemon in Openbox autostart.
Sound does not work after upgrade. Pulseaudio daemon is running in the background. Alsamixer and Pavucontrol shows sound is not muted.
Anyone else having this problem and found a solution?
I had the same problem with gnome 3.8.
I had to enable the PulseAudio Sound System from the gnome-session-properties and relog.


text: I have Allen's on the mind. Somebody posted below to recommend their crabcakes. I've also heard that their burgers are great, and I love the back patio atmosphere. However perhaps we ordered the wrong things when we went: fish and chips, and ribs from a bbq special. Everything was fine, but $12.95 for a small serving of fish and chips is just too much. Ribs were also overpriced relative to other pub food in the area. What should I order next time? Should there be a next time?

BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) — A Boardman reverend will be adding Lieutenant to his name.
Reverand Michael Marcelli led his last mass at St. Charles on Sunday afternoon. He's going into the U.S. Navy Chaplain Corp.
Father Marcelli has called St. Charles his home for the last three years. It was his first assignment, but serving God and country is something he's been thinking about for a few years now.
"I will be re-commissioned as a Lieutenant Junior Grade for the United States Navy Chaplain Corp," said Marcelli.
He said during his time at St. Charles, he met a lot parishioners who were service members and realized the need to bring the scriptures to service men and women.
"I know that they go three to six months without having a Catholic mass and so part of that inspired me as well as it's a give and take what I can receive, the virtues," said Marcelli.
"So Father Marcelli's active duty beginning is going to be a very good blessing to the military," added Capt. Michael Mikstay of the Lt. Junior Grade, U.S. Navy.
Mikstay is also a priest in the diocese of Youngstown. He said the Chaplain numbers are up, around 845. There are 52 Catholic priests.
"So we wear rank on one side of our collar and then for us who are Christian Chaplains, we wear crosses," indicated Mikstay.
On Sunday, Mikstay presented Marcelli the ensigna that goes with his rank.
"That cross for Father Marcelli here in a couple of months is going to be the hallmark of what we do in the military," said Mikstay.
Marcelli has weeks of training, but has an idea of where he might be in December.
"To go on a ship for Christmas mass," said Marcelli.
Marcelli was commissioned right after 12:30 p.m. mass in front of his congregation. He said he's excited, but a little nervous.
"I'm going to miss a lot of good people from St. Charles," finished Marcelli.

Series Even as Hawks fall to Minny 4-2 in Game 4
By Jon Fromi
The Chicago Blackhawks were unable to hand Minnesota its first home loss of the postseason Friday night. The Wild evened up the Western Conference second-round series with the Blackhawks, stifling Chicago shooters and taking Game 4 by a score of 4-2.
First Period-Both teams set a fast pace to start the contest, though most of the early action was in the Wild zone. Duncan Keith caught Minnesota napping on a line change an carried the puck toward Ilya Bryzgalov in the fifth minute until Mikko Koivu hustled over to prevent a point-blank shot on goal.
The Wild drew first blood in the eighth minute after Matt Cooke swiped the puck from Michal Rozsival. Justin Fontaine waited out Corey Crawford from the right circle and beat the Hawks goalie high to give Minnesota a 1-0 advantage 7:24 into the opening period.
Jeremy Morin went to the penalty box for slashing Ryan Suter seconds after the resulting faceoff. Chicago kept the Wild from building on their lead but momentum was squarely on the side of the home team.
The Hawks had an extended shift in the Wild zone in the 13th minute that ended when Duncan Keith lost the handle on a pass. Charlie Coyle picked Keith's pocket as he attempted to chase down the puck. The turnover nearly resulted in a shot on goal before Keith broke up an attempted pass to Nino Niederreiter.
Koivu was caught holding the stick of Bryan Bickell after a neutral ice face off, giving Chicago a power play chance with 6:11 left in the first. Minnesota killed the penalty without allowing a shot.
The Wild stormed back to the Chicago zone and put sustained pressure on the Hawks. Crawford gloved an attempt by Zach Parise with 2:55 to play in the period. Something needed to happen for the Hawks to get back on even keel with the Wild. Providing that jolt was Patrick Sharp.
As the final minute of the period ticked away, Sharp skated across the Minnesota blueline and gathered in the puck sent into the zone by Marian Hossa. Sharp got into position to shoot at the right dot and snuck the biscuit between the pads of Bryzgalov. After a period largely controlled by the Wild, Chicago had tied the game on just its fourth shot of the period with 38 seconds remaining. The score stayed that way as the teams skated to the locker room.
Second Period-A long pass from Keith to Brandon Saad was rightfully ruled offside in the second minute. Crawford broke up a scoring chance by Dany Heatley a minute later.
Nearly four minutes into the second period, a strong Minnesota push resulted in an unfortunate sequence for the Hawks. Crawford sent away two attempts from Parise at close range. However, the puck wound up behind the net and Crawford lost sight of it. Jason Pominville was able to bank the puck off Crawford's skate and across the goal line for a 2-1 Minnesota lead 3:51 into the middle frame.
Crawford rebounded to make a nice stop of an Eric Haula attempt 5:15 into the period. Shortly thereafter, the Hawks would draw even for the second time in the game.
Michal Handzus collected a loose puck behind the Minnesota net and fed Hossa, who in turn got the puck out to Brent Seabrook at the point. Handzus redirected Seabrook's shot into the net at 6:28 to knot the contest at two.
The tie did not last long as Minnesota regained the lead less than a minute later. Coyle found Niederreiter coming across into the Chicago zone. Niederreiter zipped a shot over Crawford's glove from the left dot, making the score 3-2 Wild at the 7:12 mark.
Midway through the period, Sharp stole a pass and skated ahead of the Wild toward Bryzgalov. Sharp made a move toward the backhand but the right pad of the Minnesota net-minder stopped the attempt.
Crawford stopped a Niederreiter redirect in the 12th minute as Minnesota continued to generate the bulk of the scoring chances. The Wild went on the power play after Ben Smith sent a puck over the glass in his own zone with 7:58 to play in the period. Hossa got a shorthanded attempt on goal that was stopped by Bryzgalov but ultimately the Hawks came up with another big kill.
Patrick Kane got off a shot from the right circle with 3:16 left, though it was handled by Bryzgalov. Brandon Bollig put Chicago back on the penalty kill at the 17:13 mark after he planted Keith Ballard into the boards from behind. The action went to 4-on-4 after Jared Spurgeon elbowed Marcus Kruger 36 seconds later. Both Ballard and Kruger went to their respective dressing rooms following the penalties.
There was no further scoring in the final two minutes, although the Hawks went down another skater when Niklas Hjalmarsson went to the dressing room. Crawford made a huge stop of a breakaway slapshot by Haula in the final seconds to keep the score 3-2 after 40 minutes.
Third Period-Keith hooked Cooke 45 seconds into the period to give Minnesota its fourth shot at the man advantage. Hjalmarsson and Kruger led a PK that held the Wild without a shot. Not long after the teams were back at full strength, Rozsival was sent to the box after he closed his hand on the puck.
This time, Chicago's luck ran out. Spurgeon knocked in a rebound of a Koivu shot over Crawford at the 3:47 mark to increase the Wild lead to 4-2.
Keith broke up an odd man rush in the ninth minute, but Chicago was definitely on its heels as the midway point of the third period approached. The Hawks put together a couple of decent offensive shifts in the 13th minute but couldn't make a dent in the Minnesota lead.
With 6:08 to play, Jonathan Toews got the puck out in front of the net for Jeremy Morin. Morin had two chances to score but was denied both times by Bryzgalov.
Crawford skated to the bench with two minutes left. Coach Joel Quenneville took his timeout with 53 seconds to play. Neither move resulted in the required offensive surge and the final buzzer announced the series as a dead heat through four games.
Three Stars-Cooke (third), Marco Scandella (second), Spurgeon (first).
-Bollig will probably not be around for his five minutes of playoff action in Chicago Sunday. I would suspect he will be suspended for his hit on Ballard for at least Game 5. If not, maybe he takes in another game from the team box per coach's decision.
-The Blackhawks were outplayed for the second straight game Friday night. Chicago was outshot 31-20 and was bested at the dot 31-27.
-Cooke, returning from a seven-game suspension, was a difference maker. It's a good bet that he will be a thorn in Chicago's side for the remainder of the series.
-Patrick Kane played 24 minutes and put two shots on goal. Hossa, Sharp and Toews each managed two shots on the evening. Bryzgalov had a nice game but the Hawks need to increase his workload when the series moves back to Chicago.
-Morin played nearly half of his 7:09 in the final period. Bollig and Joakim Nordstrom saw the ice briefly in the third but for the most part, Quenneville skated nine forwards Friday. For a team that supposedly has a depth advantage, Chicago's bench has been awfully short.
-As frustrating as it is to see the Hawks get dominated on the ice, it is far from panic time for Chicago. Quenneville will take advantage of last change and create some more favorable matchups for his club at home.
-Sunday's game gets underway at 8:00 p.m. Maybe a team lunch with the moms is the recipe for a Game 5 victory.

Dreger Report: Likelihood of more video review; what's in store for Mike Green?
Hockey Insider
Criticizing NHL officiating is like picking low-hanging fruit. Every night we can assemble a collection of video replay evidence to shine a spotlight on missed or questionable calls.
Such is the life of an NHL official.
However, Thursday night in Pittsburgh featured an oddity - a very rare example of a minor penalty being rescinded.
A case where something appeared to happen actually didn't and at least one of the two officials assigned to this game was 100 per cent sure it didn't.
As our video shows (click here to watch the video), L.A. Kings forward Jarret Stoll was tagged for tripping as Pittsburgh's Brandon Sutter went down inside the blue line. Stoll argued the call, but was swiftly directed to the penalty box by Greg Kimmerley who eventually waived Stoll out of the box after consulting with fellow referee Steve Kozari.
It's clear a mistake was made and this isn't the first time on-ice officials have rescinded a penalty. However, a similar scenario almost always includes a high-sticking infraction when a teammate has caused the foul, as recognized by one of the game's four officials.
This wasn't that case. This was a tripping call the Penguins might argue shouldn't have been called back.
As it turns out, Pittsburgh won the game and this isolated play had no impact on the outcome. However, while NHL officials shouldn't be beaten down for getting it right, some around the league worry about the precedent of this overturned call from now on.
The game's decision makers have worked hard at protecting the aspect of human error when it comes to NHL officiating. Of course, it's the goal of every official to 'get it right,' but those opposed to additional video review believe the discretion of the officials is traditionally an important piece of the fabric of the game.
Perhaps a blown call in Wednesday's game between the Detroit Red Wings and Washington Capitals (click here to watch the video) raised the level of sensitivity in the NHL's officiating department.
The Wings beat the Caps 4-2 after having a Drew Miller goal disallowed based on goaltender interference, though it was clear via video replay that Braden Holtby simply fell while scrambling to get back to his crease.
This one should have been called back.
It's unreasonable to overreact and suggest these examples are going to force NHL general managers to re-write the rulebook. But it's likely these same GMs will take a much closer look at it the next time video review or a coach's challenge is tabled for discussion.
There's always a next time.
Educating On Ebola
To no surprise, the National Hockey League has an Infectious Disease Committee and recently sent an email to all clubs primarily related to the Ebola outbreak. But it also included steps and precautions to be taken to avoid certain infectious flu viruses, particularly during the fall flu season.
By the sounds of things inside the St. Louis Blues' dressing room, this memo was received a tad late. An infectious bacteria that leveled several of the Blues players continues to plague the team, causing sore throat symptoms and swelling described as similar to the mumps.
The flu is nothing new and annually makes its rounds throughout the NHL, but those impacted by this bug in St. Louis say they've never seen anything like it.
Green-er Pastures?
We're just over four months until the NHL trade deadline, so there's plenty of time for the Washington Capitals and veteran defenceman Mike Green to work on a contract extension. However, with the offseason signings of blueliners Matt Niskanen and Brooks Orpik, many believe Green may be viewed as the odd man out given the $6.08 million cap space he takes up.
Sources say to date, there's been little to no contract discussions with Green - who is averaging close to 20 minutes per game and ranks fourth in that category behind John Carlson, Matt Niskanen and Brooks Orpik.
"Mike is playing exceptionally well this season under Barry Trotz and is a very valuable part of our team and our organization," Capitals GM Brian MacLellan told The Dreger Report. "Per club policy, we don't comment on player negotiations, but we are very happy with the way Mike is playing right now."
Based on his experience and the high value placed on a quality defenceman with a right-handed shot, trade speculation surrounding Mike Green will most definitely intensify.
And count the Detroit Red Wings among those teams with interest.
Have a great weekend and look forward to the next edition of Insider Trading, Tuesday on SportsCentre and TSN.ca.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - He wears a black case around his torso looking like a gunslinger, ready to whip out a little four-string ukulele in case a song comes into his head.
Later, he's standing in front of a cafeteria window strumming a new tune as raindrops fall behind him, drawing polite smiles from a lady shoveling pastries to a customer who's probably wondering if he has to pay for this musical display.
All the while, this impromptu strumming and singing is captured on a minidisc recorder.
He is Javier Garcia, modern tropical man.
"It's the climate," says Garcia, who recently spoke with the Associated Press at an outdoor cafe on South Beach. "If it was cold and not as humid, I would probably be doing slower music. Tropical music is daytime music. Happy music."
After arriving in Miami at 16, Garcia has embraced the city, mixing musical styles such as reggae, ska, '70s-style funk, hip-hop and an array of tropical rhythms on his new album, "13," which seems inspired by the city's cultural salad bowl. He even throws in Miami-Cuban street slang and rap, adding a fresh lyrical edge to his music.
Born in Madrid, the 31-year-old Garcia is the youngest of six children from an Irish mother and Cuban father. In his early teens, he was sent to a boarding school in Ireland.
"I was hanging around with the rough kids who would steal motorbikes and smoke hash," Garcia said.
Before he left Spain, one of Garcia's brothers gave him a guitar, and he began to learn the instrument on his own.
"That's when I began to take refuge in music," he said.
Growing up in Europe, Garcia listened to English-language acts such as Journey, Foreigner and Boston. But showing a tendency to explore musically, his first CD was by Terrence Trent D'Arby.
Garcia was "asked to leave" the boarding school and came to Miami to live with his father, a lover of Cuban music's older styles, such as son.
Garcia got hooked on the old tropical masters, such as Beny More and the Fania All-Stars - helping him turn a page in his life.
"I moved from a rebelliousness to a more uplifting stage," says Garcia, who named his first son Beno, for Beny More. "Before, I was always out of place. When I came to Miami, I kind of sunk in."
His new album provides a blast of tropical rhythms and energy in a tightly produced collaboration with Gustavo Sataolalla, one of Latin rock's most accomplished producers who has worked on albums with Juanes, Molotov and Cafe Tacuba, among others.
"13" also features two musicians who add cache and texture to Garcia's music - Cuban-American trumpeter Arturo Sandoval and drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., who's toured with Paul McCartney among other big names.
The album will serves proper, yet juiced-up, homage to the Cuban son in "Me Gustaria" (I'd Like That), while also unleashing shake-it-up tunes such as "Bajo Y Piano" (Bass and Piano)- a tribute to rhythm sections with Sandoval and Laboriel showing off their talents.
Lilting reggae rhythms are featured on "Como Bailan" (How They Dance), a tribute to Cuban women. Love is the theme of "Algo Especial," a ballad that could have come out of Garcia's father's collection of old Cuban music.
"I'm kind of paying homage to the old styles, at the same time mixing it up," Garcia says.
Garcia, who grew up during the hip-hop revolution, will also rap on some songs, and drops slang phrases often heard on the streets of Miami. Also, in "Llego Chango" (Chango is Here) he refers to Santeria, which involves sacrificing animals to different spirits and is known to be practiced in Cuba and Miami.
But in "He Venido" (I've Come") Garcia unveils a darker side, a concern about death and a desire to leave behind something worthwhile after he's gone.
"I have something that pulls me that way, toward darkness," he says.
As for the minidisc recorder and ukulele, they go with him everywhere.
During his musical show in front of the cafe window, Garcia puts together a toe-tapping, blues-country riff that he had been working on awhile.
For him, the musical experience seems almost religious, an organic manifestation of his life's travels and personality while living in multicultural Miami.
In one of his songs, Garcia sings "De la tierra nace el ritmo" (rhythm is born from the earth).
"Rhythm is the true meditation. You're there on the beat, or you're not there," says Garcia, tropical music philosopher. "When you get into a trance, you forget all about time and you get lost."

A new aquatic microrobot has been developed that mimics the amazing water-walking abilities of the water strider, which is a long-legged insect that scoots across the surface of water bodies.
The bionic microrobot incorporates improvements over previous devices of this kind that position it as a prime candidate for military spy missions, water pollution monitoring, and other applications, the scientists say.
"Walking on the water surface is a dream of humans, but it is exactly the way of life for some aquatic insects," Qinmin Pan and colleagues note, citing water striders, mosquitoes, and water spiders.
This is due largely to their highly water-repellent (superhydrophobic) legs.
Other scientists have made tiny aquatic devices based on the water strider with the hope of developing bionic robots that can monitor water supplies, conduct military spy missions when equipped with a camera, and perform other tasks.
But until now, no one has found a way to make water-walking robots that are practical, agile, and inexpensive.
The scientists describe progress on a new robot, with a body about the size of a quarter; ten water-repellent, wire legs; and two movable, oar-like legs — propelled by two miniature motors.
"Because the weight of the microrobot is equal to that of about 390 water striders, one might expect that it will sink quickly when placed on the water surface," the report noted.
However, it stands effortlessly on water surfaces and also walks and turns freely.
The study appears in the journal, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.

Nelson Mandela continues to struggle for life in a South African hospital, struggling for life. His leadership role in the dismantling of apartheid will be duly noted. What is far less noted is a terror campaign being waged against Afrikaaner speaking farmers that amounts to ethnic cleansing.
Genocide Watch, noting the sadistic brutality of the murders of entire farm families has declared the white Afrikaaner farmers to be the target of a campaign of genocide in South Africa. Rather than fighting such crimes with all means at its disposal, the South African government has deprioritised these crimes and disarmed groups established to protect the farmers. The attacks present a primary danger to the farmers themselves, and to South African blacks, who would be catastrophically affected by a collapse of the agricultural sector of the South African economy.
I am presenting the following videos to shed light on the farm murders in South Africa, which have gotten almost no attention from the world press. Some of the videos on farm murders in South Africa were far too horrific to put here, although they are readily available in a Youtube search. I also excluded any videos put up by people who are themselves racists. Such videos hurt the Afrikaaners far more than they help the cause of stopping Afrikaaner genocide in South Africa. Genocide Watch has flawless credentials in this regard.
I wish South Africa's former President a speedy recovery from his latest illness. And I sincerely hope that he will lend the esteem in which he is held to the cause of combating racist murders of Afrikaaner farmers.It was indeed morally right for South Africa to give power to its African majority. But a nation is also judged by how it treats its minorities. For better or worse, what South Africa became during the lifetime of Nelson Mandela will be his legacy, as well as that of his country.
In the following video, traditional song is used to whip up ethnic hatred.

The upshot of all this is twofold:
1) You will need to replace electric appliances that need large amounts of power with gas (natural or LP) or other alternatives. This would usually be anything that uses 1500 watts or more. All appliances that are UL rated will have their power consumption in watts listed on a placard or label near the AC cord.
2) When you find the wattage listing you can divide by 120 to get the number of amps the appliance will require. Multiply this number by 10 for a 12 volt system to determine the number of amps that will be drawn from the batteries. For a 24 volt system, multiply by 5. For a 48 volt system multiply by 2.5.

Strictly's Artem has spine fracture
Strictly Come Dancing's Artem Chigvintsev danced on last weekend's show without realising that he had fractured his spine, it has emerged.
The 29-year-old, whose dance partner is Australian star Holly Valance, suffered the injury last Friday while rehearsing for the BBC One programme.
But the injury was initially diagnosed as a strained muscle and it was not until yesterday that medical results revealed the condition - a transverse process fracture of the lumbar spine.
The pair's jive scored 34 out of 40 at the weekend, the second highest of the night, despite the pain the dancer was in.
Artem, who won the Strictly Come Dancing glitterball last year with former EastEnders actress Kara Tointon, may have to pull out of this weekend's show. Former Neighbours actress Holly, 28, is now training with Brendan Cole, who could perform with her this weekend, after his celebrity partner, Lulu, was voted off.
The BBC said in a statement: "Artem injured himself during rehearsals on Friday.
"Following medical attention, he has been diagnosed with a transverse process fracture of the lumbar spine.
"We have been told that this sort of fracture is completely stable and he has been advised that there is no untoward effect from him continuing to dance. We will, of course, continue to review this following medical advice over the course of the week."
Holly later said that she was still getting "bossed around" by her professional dance partner, who she calls Art, but from the safety of a chair. She tweeted: "Brendan Cole is stepping in for Art at training this week. Just taking it a day at a time. Art is at training also, choreographing us.
"But the show must go on!!! He's still bossing me round, but from a chair!"

Since the Crick Report, active citizenship has been promoted as a vehicle for
enhancing community involvement and political literacy among school and
higher education students. This ostensibly progressive educational and social
goal is beset with a number of tensions and contradictions, notably around the
nature of participation and between enhancing social control and encouraging
political engagement. This article examines the various tensions surrounding
citizenship education with reference to an evaluation of an innovative undergraduate
sociology module called 'Teaching Citizenship'. The aim of the module
was to provide students with an experience of active citizenship based on local
community involvement that took the form of students' facilitating citizenship
education at two secondary modern schools. Drawing upon evaluation research
findings, the article discusses the ways in which the sociology students actively
negotiated the dilemmas of participation and power characteristic of citizenship

X Factor loser sees daughter again
X Factor loser Jade Ellis consoled herself with the "real treat" of a reunion with her daughter after being kicked off the hit talent show.
The singer became the fourth act to leave the singing competition after three judges opted to save boyband Union J on Sunday night.
Jade said she was "gutted" to leave but described the show as a "great platform" and said she was happy to see her daughter Caiden.
The 25-year-old told ITV1's Daybreak: "She's only little, she's only six so it's a real treat to get to see her again."
Jade also spoke up in defence of her mentor Tulisa Contostavlos after Gary Barlow complained about her "fag ash breath" on Saturday's show.
She said: "I just don't think it's something that anybody should say to a lady on national TV, in fact to anybody, really It's a bit personal."
On Sunday night the N-Dubz star stepped out on stage with a deliberate nicotine patch on her arm in defiance.
She also got an apology from Gary on ITV2's The Xtra Factor, where he said: "Can I apologise to Tulisa. I mean it - you have the freedom to be as personal as you like to me for the rest of the series. Insult me."
Tulisa then told the spin-off show that Gary once said he "loved" the smell of cigarettes because it reminded him of the days when he used to smoke.
Singer Lucy Spraggan automatically went through to next week's programme after being unable to perform due to illness.

In June 2009 the Manitoba Government enacted Bill-3: The Forest Amendment Act, which amended The Provincial Parks Act and The Forest Act of Manitoba to prohibit logging in provincial parks. But in 2009, the government issued a license to Tolko to build a logging road across Grass River Provincial Park , which was finalized, after appeals, in February 2011.
Manitoba Wildlands and the Wilderness Committee appealed the Environment Act license September 2009, but the appeals were dismissed. The rule review is to obtain legal interpretation of the 2009 amendments to The Provincial Parks Act and The Forest Act.
"We are asking a judge to give us a legal definition: is a logging road considered logging or not?" said Eric Reder, campaign director, Manitoba Wilderness Committee.
"Manitobans love their parks, and they want their government to do more to protect the parks we have and to expand our protected areas network in our boreal regions. This government needs to admit that these 'no logging' zones need restoration and are not protected!" said Manitoba Wildlands director Gaile Whelan-Enns.

text: Hello Cyborg friends, My and Eric's PCB design is ready for Beta Rev 0.1 production. Thursday morning at the latest I will order some printed circuit boards. Several people have expressed interest in one of these. I would very gladly add you to the order as price per unit drops very quickly in these endeavors! If you have Eagle you can download and explore the schematic and board files at http://sensebridge.net/cva/eagle/ otherwise there are two png images of the same that you can look at least. I set up an order page on the wiki for PCB panels and for what components you want to put on there. I have no idea yet how much it will work out to per panel, but it's looking like something between $15-$30. The components *excluding the compass chip* should be less then $15 or so. I will update with the final price once I settle on a board house and know how many panels we're getting. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/CVA_PCB_Beta_Rev0.1_Order **¡CAVEAT EMPTOR!** There ARE mistakes on this board! If I knew what they were I would have fixed them. But there's only so much use in staring at a schematic, sooner or later I have to have something physical to test out. Be prepared for a bit of pin-bending to make things fit, and - I hope unlikely but not impossible - getting out an x-acto knife and some jumper wires cuz I got a trace or two wrong. This is Beta Rev 0.1 for a reason. -Skory

It is a busy and very affluent place, ideal for a day visit for shopping and wandering through the streets and having lunch on the square by the famous Morosoni Fountain but not for staying overnight. Heraklion is of course most famous for the Knossos site and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The fabulous Minoan palace of Knossos, once the residence of the legendary King Minos, stands loftily on a hill on the outskirts of Heraklion. In it's heyday it must have been an impressive sight, with its splendid architecture, monumental staircases and beautiful coloured frescoes. The Heraklion Archaeological Museum holds a wonderful collection of Minoan jewellery and artifacts, all relics of a highly artistic, creative and peaceful civilisation.

I can't believe a full week has already gone by, but it is time to pick the winner of the dried, organic Black Trumpet mushrooms from the Hoosier Mushroom Company! Before I do, let me tell you what I decided to make with mine.
I've never cooked with Black Trumpets before and the first thing I noticed was the intense aroma when I opened the package. This is one flavorful mushroom, more so than any variety I think I've had before.
I poured boiling water over the mushrooms and soaked them for about 20 minutes. What resulted were thin, delicate ribbons of mushroom and a dark, rich broth some of which I used in this recipe and the rest I froze to add to soups later. I combined the mushrooms, broth and homemade chicken stock and served it over Ho Fan, a flat Asian noodle. I've read that Ho Fan is made of rice flour, but according the package, the variety I bought was made of wheat. I really enjoy this noodle; it holds up well in broths and vegetable stir-fry with a somewhat firm texture.
The Ho Fan was a nice match for the rich mushroom broth. This ended up being a very easy, simple meal, and with the Black Trumpets, the flavor is outstanding!
Black Trumpet Mushrooms over Ho Fan
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 to 4 green onions, sliced
1 oz dried Black Trumpet Mushrooms, soaked, drained and roughly chopped
6 cups chicken stock (I used homemade)
1 cup mushroom broth, reserved after soaking
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tsp sea salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 – 12 oz pkg Ho Fan noodles, cooked and drained
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot on medium-high heat, add the garlic and onion; cook for about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the stock, broth and thyme (you can remove the sprigs after cooking). Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Taste the mushrooms; if they are tender the broth is ready. If not, continue to simmer until tender.
Divide the noodles into 6 separate bowls. Divide the stock evenly and pour over the noodles. Serve hot.
Without further delay, as selected using Random.org, the winner of the Black Trumpets is Emily from A Nutritionist Eats!! Congrats! Just drop me an email at lori (at) fakefoodfree (dot) com and we'll get the package sent out to you. Thanks to the Hoosier Mushroom Company for allowing me to experiment with their delicious products and for hosting this giveaway!

Two favorites, tacos and burgers, unite in this recipe. My wife likes to make fun of my food "crush" aka the "How Sweet It Is" blog. She likes to joke, yes, but she also likes it when she is the beneficiary of a recipe from there. Last week, How Sweet posted Taco Rubbed Burgers with avocado and crushed tortilla chips. I HAD to try them. I love tacos. I LOVE hamburgers. I even love avocado on my burger normally. This burger sounded like a perfect opportunity to visit burger-heaven for a few minutes.
I'm not much for creativity. I'd rather make everyone else's recipes and tweak them a bit to my liking. So, I didn't use the above recipe to the letter. I made a few changes which I list below. I also don't claim that I am a great cook, but I hope that you try this burger. It's definitely a flavorful spin on a favorite food.
What I changed from the original Taco-Rubbed Burgers recipe:
- I used my own hamburger recipe. It's a closely guarded secret, but it's what I do on the grill when it's hamburger time. Yes, it involves more than forming patties out of the meat. No, I won't tell you any more than that.
- I took a taco season shortcut and used Old El Paso Taco Seasoning.
- I skipped the salsa verde because I didn't have any.
- I used regular hamburger buns with sesame seeds instead of a whole wheat one.

Compliments or frowns?
With my business I work for a lot of older people and I'm very surprised to find I'm getting tons of compliments on homeschooling my kids! I very rarely have anyone make negative comments, if anything people are curious. How about you? Compliments or frowns?

I get a mix of the 2. And it's usually the older people who seem to be more pro homeschooling! We have HORRIBLE public schools here, so I'm not surprised
However my brother in law was pro homeschooling. He usually backs me behind everything though. I think he wished his wife would take my lead but she is just... Not into the same
Things as me.
My mom doesn't say bad or good, I know she questions it, but I will hear of he saying something to someone else that would be a benefit of homeschooling. She is hard to read. I know she wants to support me and not hurt my feelings. She also knows I research the heck out of things and do what I want to do.
My family is very supportive since several of them are homeschoolers themselves. My inlaws however I know don't agree although they haven't said anything to my face. I've also had my ex-boss ask me what made me think I was capable of homeschooling my children.
My family... frowns but others compliments or "I don't know how you do it... stay with your kids all the time"!
From strangers I get asked lots of Q & most say that they have thought about trying it but where scared to. Most of my family that I talk to is supportive of it. My 19 y/o niece used to be against it but after 1 year out of public school, living in the real world for that year & seeing my kids she has decided any children she has will be homeschooled until 6Th grade & then the child will be allowed to chose whether to home school or go to public school.
in all the years i cant even remember a frown(unless they were hiding it!), everyone has always been very supportive and curious about homeschooling.
I get the "deer stuck in headlights" look, most of the time. LOL!

That's why I said they probably had the gist of what was in them, but the point is, someone really needs to hold their feet to the fire and force them to read things before they vote on it. It should be required by law that you must read what you vote on. This is NOT representing the American people. This FEELS like passing whatever they're told to so they can go home.

How come those 8 who said "no", are not going public about 3 min read time?
somethings not right
1) Help out NASCAR - Sec 312 extends the "seven year recovery period for motorsports entertainment complex property", which is to say it allows anyone who builds a racetrack and associated facilities to get tax breaks on it. This one was projected to cost $43 million over two years.
2) A hundred million or so for Railroads - Sec. 306 provides tax credits to certain railroads for maintaining their tracks. It's unclear why private businesses should be compensated for their costs of doing business. This is worth roughly $165 million a year.
3) Disney's Gotta Eat - Sec. 317 is "Extension of special expensing rules for certain film and television productions". It's a relatively straightforward subsidy to Hollywood studios, and according to the Joint Tax Committee, was projected to cost $150m for 2010 and 2011.
4) Help a brother mining company out – Sec. 307 and Sec. 316 offer tax incentives for miners to buy safety equipment and train their employees on mine safety. Taxpayers shouldn't have to bribe mining companies to not kill their workers.
5) Subsidies for Goldman Sachs Headquarters – Sec. 328 extends "tax exempt financing for York Liberty Zone," which was a program to provide post-9/11 recovery funds. Rather than going to small businesses affected, however, this was, according to Bloomberg, "little more than a subsidy for fancy Manhattan apartments and office towers for Goldman Sachs and Bank of America Corp." Michael Bloomberg himself actually thought the program was excessive, so that's saying something. According to David Cay Johnston's The Fine Print, Goldman got $1.6 billion in tax free financing for its new massive headquarters through Liberty Bonds.
6) $9B Off-shore financing loophole for banks – Sec. 322 is an "Extension of the Active Financing Exception to Subpart F." Very few tax loopholes have a trade association, but this one does. This strangely worded provision basically allows American corporations such as banks and manufactures to engage in certain lending practices and not pay taxes on income earned from it. According to this Washington Post piece, supporters of the bill include GE, Caterpillar, and JP Morgan. Steve Elmendorf, super-lobbyist, has been paid $80,000 in 2012 alone to lobby on the "Active Financing Working Group."
7) Tax credits for foreign subsidiaries – Sec. 323 is an extension of the "Look-through treatment of payments between related CFCs under foreign personal holding company income rules." This gibberish sounding provision cost $1.5 billion from 2010 and 2011, and the US Chamber loves it. It's a provision that allows US multinationals to not pay taxes on income earned by companies they own abroad.
8) Bonus Depreciation, R&D Tax Credit – These are well-known corporate boondoggles. The research tax credit was projected to cost $8B for 2010 and 2011, and the depreciation provisions were projected to cost about $110B for those two years, with some of that made up in later years.
Conveniently, the Joint Committee on Taxation in 2010 did an analysis of what many of these extenders cost. You can find that report here.www.jct.gov...

Champagne glasses are creating the retro trend, an art deco feel to their establishment, using glassware reminiscent of the 1930's.
manchester, UK (PRWEB) October 04, 2012
Independent catering equipment suppliers, stephensons.com, is reporting a 454% increase in the sale of Champagne Saucer glasses, selling approximately 1,722 units in 2011 when compared to 311 units in 2009.
Champagne Saucer glasses or Coupe glasses are manufactured using the original glass moulds used in the 1930s Manhattan Cocktail scene. The tall stem contrasts with the wide bowl giving them a solid, open appearance. The glasses were the original Champagne glass and remained popular for the first half of the 20th century until they were overtaken by the flute Champagne glass.
Henry Stephenson, Managing Director of stephensons.com, commented: "We have seen a huge revival in demand for this style of glassware, especially from cocktail bars and restaurants that are moving away from the popular Flute Champagne glass; these venues seem to be following the retro trend, creating an art deco feel to their establishment, using glassware reminiscent of the 1930's.
"To complement this vintage trend, we have recently taken stock of Steelites new range of glassware called Minners. The range consists of four differently shaped glasses, designed to recapture and complement the classic cocktails."
Although demand for champagne in recent years has dipped in bars and restaurants, sales of champagne saucers and flute s has continued to rise. This is partly due to the glasses being used to serve cocktails, as selling more cocktails makes more financial sense for on-trade outlets, as the profit on a cocktail is much larger than it is for champagne. Coupled with the rise of cocktail culture in the UK in the past decade, it is unsurprising that establishments are trying to differentiate themselves from other cocktail bars by serving drinks in chique glasses.
"It appears what's old is now new again, as crystal cut glasses, such as of those from Artis' new range Hob Star, are also gaining popularity amongst our customers, who are wanting their cocktails to speak of decadence, fun and glamour." added Henry.
Stephensons boasts the largest catering equipment showroom and cash and carry in the North of the UK. All products from the Stephensons range are available from the website http://www.stephensons.com
