monday christmas colors
Submitted by precious sister on Mon, 11/22/2010 - 15:22
The fun thing about decorating for Christmas is that there are no rules. You can pick a new favorite color palette every year and try out new decorations. There are a lot of places where you can find your color inspiration. Foods are to me a great place to look and the season also invites new flavors into your home. I have a love for chocolate all year round, but when autumn and winter comes I find that it's especially irresistible. Cinnamon is a spice that I don't particularly like, but during Christmas season, its scent creates a very homey feel to me. All these smells are like color palettes to me.
This year I'm going with a mix of earthy chocolate and cool scandinavian blue/gray colors with a sprinkle of red. What are your Christmas colors this year? /Annika

WASHINGTON (Mar. 22)
The Administration may ask Congress for stand-by authority to use U.S. military forces in the Middle East if United Nations peace efforts fail. Reports to this effect were circulated here today following a meeting at the White House at which Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders were briefed by President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles on the international situation.
A State Department spokesman was asked about these reports and replied that he had no knowledge or comment on such plans. Administration sources said a possible request for stand by authority for commitment of forces would be given the most serious consideration if the situation continues to deteriorate.
The question of U.S. armed intervention was expected to come up in a discussion of Arab-Israel war danger at a meeting of the National Security Council to be attended by the President later today. Main emphasis is now being placed on United Nations Security Council measures to prevent war.
The State Department disclosed today that France suggested "informally" that the tripartite Foreign Ministers meet in a few weeks in Paris or London to comer on the Arab-Israel situation. The meeting was seen by French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau as desirable in early May. The Arab-Israel situation, among other topics, was discussed today at a meeting of Italian Ambassador Manlio Prosio with George V. Allen, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs.

Spotify launched a new feature earlier this month known as the Spotify Play Button. This interactive feature allows any website or blog to include songs, albums, or playlists from the music service on any page. Anyone can listen to the playlists chosen by the page's author–provided the free Spotify application is installed on his or her computer. Clearly this new feature is an attempt to increase Spotify's user base to take on other music services like Pandora. I've been an avid fan of Spotify for some time now, and highly recommend the free service to others. Spotify allows users to listen to a radio station featuring artists similar to your favorites, share your music socially via Facebook integration, and select individual tracks to play when you want control of your music (a feature Pandora lacks). What's better, none of the music from Spotify needs to be physically downloaded to your computer–it's all in the cloud. Including the Spotify Play Button...Read More »

Fluff Is For Marshmallows—Not Blogs
We are twelve days into 2012. In the blogosphere, that means 2,987 posts have already been published on "Launching a New Blog in the New Year", 3,491 bloggers have suggested steps to increase site visibility on search engines, and 9,523 articles have been written on how to get readers to be awesome and share posts. (All numbers approximate.) Most of us have read or seen similar articles, written by bloggers who promise to propel your blog to thousands of readers in five magical steps. While I enjoy the ones that are useful, far too often the posts are filled with overly generic suggestions on blogging that don't provide any unique insights. When that happens, the advice comes off as unoriginal and forced. This practice is what I like to call inserting fluff into blog posts—words that take up space, but don't advance an argument or conversation. It needs to stop!Read More »

When did George Washington begin distilling?
George Washington's Scottish farm manager James Anderson and his son John began distilling in February 1797, just before Washington retired from the presidency. Two stills were set up in the coopers' shop. By June this venture was so successful that the elder Anderson lobbied Washington to expand the operation and build a large still house. This building housed five stills and distilling began in March 1798.
When was the Distillery built?
The distillery was constructed between October 1797 and March 1798.
How long did the distillery operate?
The Andersons continued to operate the Distillery between George Washington's death in December 1799 and Martha Washington's death in 1802. At this time, the Distillery and Gristmill were inherited by Washington's nephew Lawrence Lewis, and the Andersons moved away. Lewis leased the Distillery rather than manage it himself. The last record of whiskey production was in 1808 when an Alexandria merchant by the name of James Douglass advertised whiskey made at this Distillery.
What happened to the building?
The Distillery burned in the fall of 1814. We know nothing more about the fire. Lewis did receive a small insurance payment.
Was George Washington's Distillery particularly large?
Washington's Distillery was the largest whiskey distillery in the country during the 18th century. It measured 75 x 30 feet (2,250 square feet) while the average distillery was about 20 x 40 feet (800 square feet).
Washington's Distillery operated five copper pot stills for 12 months a year. The average distillery used one or two stills and distilled for one month. In 1799, Washington's Distillery produced almost 11,000 gallons of whiskey, valued at $7,500 (approximately $120,000 today). The average Virginia distillery produced about 650 gallons of whiskey per year which was valued at about $460.
How many stills were operated and how big were they?
The Distillery had five copper pot stills that held a total capacity of 616 gallons. We know that the three stills made by George McMunn, an Alexandria coppersmith, were 120, 116, and 110 gallons. We do not know how the remaining 270 gallons were divided between the final two stills.
How many mash tubs did Washington's Distillery have?
Fifty mash tubs were located at Washington's Distillery in 1799. We think only about half were used at a time to mash or cook grain. These tubs were large 120-gallon barrels made of oak. In Washington's day, cooking the grain and fermenting the mash all happened in the same container. The boiler, where the hot water would have come from, held 210 gallons.
Who did the distilling?
James Anderson learned about distilling whiskey in Scotland, where he supplied distilleries with grain from his farm. He was able to convince Washington to distill, and he served as the "master distiller." His son John lived at the Distillery and managed the daily operation. John had a hired assistant who also lived at the Distillery. The bulk of the labor was performed by six enslaved distillers, Hanson, Peter, Nat, Daniel, James and Timothy.
What was distilled at Washington's Distillery?
A variety of whiskey, brandy and vinegar were distilled. The most common beverage was whiskey made from 60% rye, 35% corn and 5% malted barley. This rye whiskey was distilled twice and sold as common whiskey. Smaller amounts were distilled up to four times and were more expensive. Some whiskey was also rectified (filtered to remove impurities) or flavored with cinnamon. Wheat was also distilled when rye was scarce. Lesser amounts of apple, peach and persimmon brandies were made.
Was Washington's whiskey aged?
No, during the 1790s whiskey typically was not aged. The storage area was for stocking whiskey until customers purchased it.
Was Washington's whiskey essentially moonshine?
No, by definition moonshine is illicit, and often of poor quality. Washington's whiskey was legal and was of very high quality for the day. It did resemble moonshine in that it was unaged and therefore colorless.
Was Washington's whiskey bottled?
No, bottles and brands were not used until the late 1800s. In Washington's day the whiskey was stored and transported in wooden barrels of various sizes. The common whiskey barrel was about 31 gallons.
Who purchased Washington's whiskey?
His best customer was his close friend George Gilpin. Gilpin owned a store in Alexandria where he sold the whiskey. Other Alexandria merchants also bought large quantities to resell. Local farmers purchased or traded grain for whiskey. Many of the people who worked at Mount Vernon also purchased whiskey.
How much did the whiskey cost?
The common whiskey cost about .50 per gallon. The rectified and fourth distilled whiskey was about $1.00 a gallon, and brandy was a little more. Consumers would pay in cash or sometimes barter goods.
Did Washington's livestock increase with the Distillery?
Yes. Slop, or distilled grain, is a valuable source of food for both pigs and cows. Washington was able to increase his holdings of both these animals with the Distillery. In 1799, there were 150 pigs and 30 cows living at the Distillery eating slop.
Were distilleries common?
Yes, during the 1790s and early 1800s there were hundreds of distilleries in the United States. In 1810 the federal census recorded more than 3600 distilleries operating in Virginia alone.
Did George Washington drink alcohol?
Alcohol played a large role in the lives of most people in the 1700s. It was drunk during social occasions, and used medicinally and as a trading commodity. George Washington held an enlightened, modern attitude toward the consumption of alcohol. He enjoyed a variety of beverages, his favorite being sweet fortified wines like Madeira and Port. He also drank rum punch, porter, and whiskey. He was well aware of the dangers of drinking alcohol to excess and was a strong proponent of moderation.
Did George Washington drink his whiskey?
We do not know, but upon Washington's death a variety of products were stored in the basement of the Mansion, presumably for use by the Washington family. These included plain whiskey, cinnamon whiskey, apple, peach and persimmon brandy, and rectified apple brandy.
We do know that Washington proposed to drink whiskey in 1794 during the Whiskey Rebellion. At that time one of his aides wrote, "As the President will be going ... into the Country of Whiskey [Pennsylvania] he proposes to make use of that liquor for his drink."
Did George Washington pay his whiskey tax?
Yes. In the 1790s federal excise tax was collected from distilleries based upon the capacity of the still and the number of months it distilled. In 1798, Washington paid a tax of $332 on stills totaling 616 gallons operating for 12 months.
When was the Distillery discovered?
Although the Distillery building burned in 1814, knowledge of the operation was preserved in Washington's writings. In 1932 the Commonwealth of Virginia purchased the Distillery and Gristmill property and reconstructed the Mill and Miller's Cottage. The Commonwealth uncovered the Distillery foundations but did not reconstruct the building. It operated the site as a state park until 1997.
The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association entered an agreement with the state to restore and manage the park in 1995. As part of that agreement, archaeological and historical research was conducted on the property in 1997. The site of the Distillery was excavated by Mount Vernon's archaeologists between 1999 and 2006. The reconstruction began in 2005 and was completed in 2007.
What did the archaeologists find?
The archaeological excavation uncovered the stone foundation of the Distillery, the location for the five stills and boiler, numerous underground drains, and evidence for the wall that separated the store room and office. The archaeologists also found many objects used by the distillers such as fragments of stills, broken plates and tea cups, drinking glasses, and buttons.
Was the new Distillery constructed in the same way as the original?
We have tried to make the Distillery as faithful in appearance to Washington's as possible. The wood was finished by hand and hand wrought nails and hardware were used throughout. Some compromises were needed in order to comply with current codes and safety standards. For example, 15 extra feet were added to the building in order to house a large stair and elevator.
Why are the floors constructed from different materials?
There are three different floors used in the reconstructed building – stone, wood, and brick. The archaeologists found evidence for floors made with these three materials.
A stone floor was used in the mashing area to lessen vibrations which would disturb the fermentation process. The area around the stills had an elevated wooden floor, which allowed for drains to carry water away from the worm tubs. There is a brick floor around the boiler and staircase.
How was the reconstruction funded?
The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), with the support of the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, has been the major donor with contributions of $2.1 million. DISCUS has named the Distillery the gateway to the American Whiskey Trail.
Does the Distillery work?
Yes, the reconstruction is a working distillery. It is the only distillery in the country – and possibly the world – to authentically demonstrate the 18th-century process of distilling. The stills will distill liquid on a daily basis, although whiskey will be made only on special occasions.
What will visitors see?
Costumed distillers will operate the Distillery every day, from April through October. Storage spaces, offices, and bedrooms are on view, and the second floor includes a History Channel video, "George Washington's Liquid Gold," and a museum exhibit, "Spirits of Independence: George Washington and the Beginnings of the American Whiskey Industry," which tell the story of whiskey at Mount Vernon and its history in America.
The Distillery is adjacent to George Washington's Gristmill, a water-powered mill. At the Gristmill, costumed millers operate four floors of machinery to show visitors how Washington's complex farming operation expanded to include a commercial gristmill which produced flour that was exported around the world.
Can visitors buy whiskey?
Yes, in the future small bottles of whiskey distilled at the Distillery and limited edition vatted American whiskey will be for sale in the Miller's Cottage on site or in the Shops on the main Mount Vernon Estate.
Can visitors sample whiskey?
Mount Vernon will hold special events when visitors will be able to sample the whiskey. The Distillery does not distill alcohol on a regular basis or provide samples.
How much does it cost to tour?
Admission to the site is $4 for adults, $2 for children ages 6-11, and free for children 5 and under. When combined with admission to Mount Vernon, tickets are $2 for adults, $1.50 for children ages 6-11, and free for children 5 and under. George Washington's Distillery & Gristmill is located on Route 235, three miles south of Mount Vernon. Visitor information can be found at MountVernon.org.

Enterprise and Culture (Routledge Studies in Small Business)
Enterprise and Culture is a uniquely wide-ranging, insightful and well-informed critical evaluation of the economic and social project of creating an enterprise culture.Colin Gray argues that the failure of small enterprise policy is not just a question of economics, but is also caused by psychological and cultural factors. The book demonstrates that the individualism at the centre of enterprise culture policies is, itself, the main impediment to the successful growth and development of small enterprises.

Community support is huge within the music and theatre arts department. When it's time for a performance, you can guarantee locals will be lining up at the door to watch. This is why our Blugolds see the importance of giving back to those dedicated and supportive community members. Through multiple outlets, our students go above and beyond to teach, perform for and give back to the Eau Claire community.
Our students have a mission to provide quality theatrical experiences that inspire, enrich, entertain and educate young people and families in the Chippewa Valley. Every year our students prepare a new play to perform at local elementary schools. They bring their own stage equipment and costumes to ensure the best experience for the younger students. For more information please contact Dr. Jennifer Chapman.
Opera Workshop Ensemble members get the opportunity to travel to elementary schools throughout Northwest and Western Wisconsin. Not only will you receive training in the art of singing and opera performance, but you'll also create an enriching, high-energy opera experience for the children in attendance. Blugolds have performed for over 35,000 elementary school students, and they're looking forward to performing at your school!
Cabaret is a fun way to get to know your peers and put on a fantastic show - but did you know you could get service learning from it as well? Directing the show allows you to get your service learning hours through creative activity. You can choreograph, design the set and plan the theme for the show.
Annie Jackson, BME-ChoralCabaret has given me the unique opportunity to serve alongside my peers. This gives me insight into teaching in a variety of classroom settings, whether that be elementary students or directing an adult church choir. This service learning experience came with challenges that I was able to overcome through the help of other directors and staff at UWEC.
Every summer we hold a day camp called Total Percussion Camp. If you're into any form of percussion whether it be mallet, drum set, snare, timpani, concert or marching — you should sign up.

Your Candidates, Your Issues, Your Decision
The DemocracyNet (DNet) is an interactive website designed to improve the quality and quantity of voter information and create a more educated and involved electorate. A project of the League of Women Voters Education Fund, DNet encourages candidates to address a wider range of issues, and to address those in greater depth, than they might in other media. Our goal is to increase voter understanding of important public policy problems, allow candidates to debate their positions in an "electronic town hall" before on-line audiences, reduce the pressure on candidates to raise campaign funds, foster greater civic participation and interaction between voters and candidates, and create new online political communities.

AFL folds; are 'Birds far behind?
Published 1:00 am, Monday, August 3, 2009
The Arena Football League is apparently done. After a year's hiatus, it appeared impossible that the league could reignite itself in this economy and return for 2010.
Now it looks like appearances, in this instance, were not deceiving. Tampa Bay Storm president Jim Borghesi wrote this on his Facebook page Sunday:
The AFL will be having a press conference to announce that the league will not be returning.
Very sad news. God bless all my colleague's and their family's.
Anyone hiring???
The Albany Firebirds play in the af2, a rung below the AFL. But with the Arena Football League idle this season, the af2 in essence became the big leagues of indoor football.
"It's a sad day," Firebirds assistant general manager Jonathan Scherzer said Sunday. "The (AFL) did bring something. It was a community event. It was a positive event."
An aside: Notice that the story broke on Facebook, then got picked up by ProFootballTalk.com. It's another example of how social networking is changing sports.
In a mostly unrelated item, Sports Illustrated's Peter King is in town for New York Giants camp that opens this morning, but will be attending the Tri-City ValleyCats game tonight for a local NFL promotion and a "Tweet Up" — a meeting with his Twitter followers.
As Jack Ryan told Captain Ramius in "The Hunt for Red October," welcome to the new world. We now return you to your regularly scheduled column.)
With the indoor parent gone, questions now arise over the fate of the af2. Sure, it's a different economic model (a much smaller salary structure, for example), but there are rumblings the league faces steep challenges as well.
But Firebirds general manager Garen Szablewski said the fate of the af2 is not tied to the AFL's potential demise.
"The af2 would have the opportunity to play independently of the AFL," Szablewski said. "It could actually end up being a positive ... players could be available to come down and play at this level."
We'll see. But all that may be irrelevant to this market: There are very strong indications that the Firebirds could be done — they got pasted Saturday night in their playoff game — regardless of whether the af2 survives.
A decision could come within two weeks, Szablewski said. This has become a season-to-season deal for a couple of years now, and unless owner Walter Robb is overcome with irrational exuberance over losing a playoff game 78-21, it's time for the indoor war on the floor to end here.
All said, you have to think that the chances of there being more arena football in Times Union Center has slinked down from beyond slim toward none.
Same goes for hoops at Washington Avenue Armory, where Jim Coyne is out as general manager. Coyne has had a single-minded zeal for keeping the Continental Basketball Association and the resuscitated Albany Patroons alive. But the CBA crumbled, the Pats are essentially league-less and dead, and Coyne has been shown the door.
A dark week for minor-league sports in this town and others to be sure.
Some of you may shrug. But something is lost when a team dies, even if it's unrealized potential.
Both the 'Birds (well, the AFL version) and Patroons were champions.
Now they very well could be history.

One night in Bosnia
We arrived after dark
Flash hotel, Buzzing old town.
I sort of expected more signs of the war that tore this place apart.
But the town and the people have a feeling of 'life' that on first impressions suggests no sign of troubles.
I'm not sure what I expected for one night in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I wonder what the morning will bring.

Forums → Popular Media → [NECRO] Rock or Rap?
KOkay this is were things might get a little messed up i have always argued with everyone over this topic I say ROCK is better no matter what if you say otherwise or if you agree REPLY.
i like both of them equally the same
because they both get me hyped
Rap is better...
50 Cent is untouchable
T.I. is hot
Lil Wayne cant stop
Rock and Roll baby.
Rap is one phrase repeated over again (ex. Crank that soulja boy X 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) and how that became a top 1000000000 song amazes me. mozart is better than that
rock/Metal! rap is a stain in music history
FoxHawx you obviously don't know anything about rap. Maybe today theres no talent needed but you should go back and listen to some old school stuff before you judge. Rock is just as bad as Rap nowadays.
not really rock has always been better. but i do agree with u gamer joe i guess some of the rap from the beginning was good but ever since the mid 90's raps perspective hasn't changed its getting boring
I like rock better. Especially along the lines of Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Queen. I used to like rap but not anymore.
Metal rules them all! Rock's not bad, either.
Rock owns rap hardcore.. Rap doesn't make any sense, and most of the time its just profanity out of its butt.
i agree with seuska rappers just rant senseless unlike metal/rock sends a message to its listeners in many different ways
U got that. Rock is by far the best.....vp
Rock of course. Rap is presentyle only for business. Before it was far better.
nothing can beat Rock

Hello! My name's Ryan and I'm an "undecided" voter.
No, it's not what you think.
I'm not undecided between these guys:
There's no way in hell I'm voting for Romney.
I'm not an idiot as Bill Maher not-so-subtly suggested last week. (It's okay Bill, I can take a joke)
I'm undecided between these guys (and gal):
Mathematician and author John Allen Paulos described the situation a little more elegantly:
As presidential race progresses, the many characterizations of the undecided dwindle to two: unusually thoughtful or unusually ignorant.
— John Allen Paulos (@JohnAllenPaulos) September 9, 2012
I'd like to believe that I fall into the "unusually thoughtful" category and wanted to share my perspective.
FULL DISCLOSURE: This is my personal blog and obviously biased by my opinions. I'm a member of the Green Party and have made a "small value" donation to the Stein campaign. Despite my party membership, I try to vote based on the issues and not the party. I voted for Obama in 2008 and voted for Ron Paul in the 2012 GOP primary. While I'm not technically an "independent" due to my affiliation with the Greens, I'm probably about as close to one as it gets.
Let's start with a little historical background and work our way forward from there.
The Nader Effect
My first voting experience was in the 2000 election. I didn't like either Gore or Bush, and ended up gravitating towards the Nader campaign. His positions on the issues most closely aligned with my own, so I did what seemed like the most rational thing to do at the time. I voted for him.
After the election, Nader (and the Green Party in general) received a large amount of criticism from Democrats for "spoiling" the election. The Democrats argued that votes cast for Nader in key states like Florida, would have been otherwise been cast for Gore. The counter argument is that Bush v. Gore was decided by the Supreme Court, but I won't get into that.
From my perspective, my vote for Nader in this election could not be counted as a "spoiler". I was living in California at the time, and the odds of California's votes in the Electoral College going to Bush in the 2000 were negligible. My vote for Nader was completely "safe" and allowed me to voice my opinion about the issues I cared about. However, this notion of a "spoiler vote" forever changed how I thought about my voting strategy.
Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives
In the 1950s, economist Kenneth Arrow conducted a mathematical analysis of several voting systems. The result, now known as Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, proved that there was not ranked voting system that could satisfy the following conditions for a "fair" election system:
- It accounts for the preferences of multiple voters, rather than a single individual
- It accounts for all preferences among all voters
- Adding additional choices should not affect the outcome
- An individual should never hurt the chances of an outcome by rating it higher
- Every possible societal preference should be achievable by some combination of individual votes
- If every individual prefers a certain option, the overall result should reflect this
Arrow was largely concerned with ranked voting systems, such as Instant Run-off Voting, and proved that no such ranking system could ever satisfy all of these conditions. There are non-ranked voting systems that meet most of these conditions, such as score voting, but one of these conditions of interest that our present system doesn't meet is number 3. This condition goes by the technical name of Independence of irrelevant alternatives. The idea is that the outcome of a vote should not be affected by the inclusion of additional candidates. In other words, there should never be a "spoiler effect".
What I find interesting here is that the very mechanics of our voting system lead to a situation where the outcome of elections is controlled by a two party system. It forces citizen to vote tactically for the "lesser of two evils", while from my perspective both of those "evils" have gotten progressively worse. George Washington warned of this outcome in his farewell address:
However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.
Until we can address the issues inherent in our voting system itself, I'm left with no choice but to vote strategically in the election. My policy for voting is a tactic of minimaxing: minimizing the potential harm while maximizing the potential gain. It's with this strategy in mind that I turn to the options of the 2012 presidential race.
Quantifying Politics
In order to apply a mathematical analysis to voting, it is first necessary to have some way of quantifying political preferences. As a method of during so, I'll turn to the so called Nolan Chart. An easy way to find out where you stand on the Nolan Chart is the World's Smallest Political Quiz. Here's where it places me:
Here's where I'd place the 2012 candidates:
Note that this is my subjective opinion and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of the candidates themselves. It's also important to note that this is a simplified model of political disposition. There are other models, such as the Vosem (восемь) Chart that include more than two axes. If you were, for example, include "ecology" as a third axis, this would place me closer to Stein than Obama and closer to Obama than Johnson. The resulting distances to each are going to vary depending on what axes you choose, so I'm just going to stick with the more familiar Nolan Chart.
Since I'm politically equidistant from each of the candidates, my minimax voting strategy would suggest that I vote for the candidate that has the highest chance of winning: Obama. However, there are many more variables to consider that might result in a different outcome. One of those variables is something I call "political flux".
Political Flux
People change. It's a well known fact of life. Changes in political opinions are no exception. If you look at the stances that Obama and Romney have made during this campaign, and compare those to their previous positions, I think you'll see a trend that looks something like this:
Obama campaigned hard left in 2008, but during his term in office his policies have shifted more towards the center. Romney campaigned in the center while he was running for governor of Massachusetts, but has shifted more towards the right during his presidential campaign. These changes are highly concerning to me, because both candidates are shifting away from my position. Thus, while Obama is closer to me on the political spectrum, the fact that he is moving away from my position makes the long term pay-offs lower than they would be if he had "stuck to his guns". In turn, this makes the 3rd party candidates a more appealing option.
I might even go so far as to suggest that this "political flux" is the reason why these 3rd party candidates are running. Statistically, their odds of winning are too low to change the outcome of the election. However, they can influence the direction of the political discourse. The more people that vote for those candidates, the more likely that future candidates venture in those respective directions. This vote comes at a "risk" though, as those 3rd party candidates run the risk of "spoiling" the election for a less undesirable candidate. The level of this this risk varies from state to state due to the electoral college system.
The Electoral College
A popular vote is not enough to win the election. The president is selected by an Electoral College that gets a number of votes based on a (mostly) population proportional system. For some of these states, the polls predict a pretty solid winner and loser for the presidential race. For others, the state has a tendency to lean right or left. According to The New York Times, the following states are considered a "toss-up" in the upcoming election:
- Colorado
- Florida
- Iowa
- North Carolina
- New Hampshire
- Nevada
- Ohio
- Virginia
- Wisconsin
If you are living in one of these states, the risks of voting for a third party are greater because your vote will have a higher chance of "spoiling" the election for one of the candidates. I happen to live in Virginia — one of the 2012 "battleground" states. I foresee a large number of attack ads in my near future. The big question is, is the pay-off worth the risk?
Aikido Interlude
For the past couple months, I've been studying Aikido — a martial art that might be best described as "the way of combining forces". The idea is to blend ones movements with those of the attacker to redirect the motion of the combined system in a way that neither individual is harmed by the result. As a lowly gokyu, I still have a lot to learn about this art, but I find some of the core principals behind it rather insightful from a physical and mathematical perspective.
The basic idea is a matter of physics. If an object has a significant amount of momentum, then it takes an equal amount of momentum to stop it. However, if you apply a force that is orthogonal (perpendicular) to the direction of motion, then its relatively easy to change the direction of motion. You don't block the attack in aikido. You redirect the attack in a way that's advantageous to your situation. You can see the basic idea in my crude drawing below:
The result of this is that many aikido techniques end up having a "circular" sort of appearance. In reality, it's the combination of the attacker's momentum and the orthogonal force applied by the defender that cause this. See if you can spot this in the following video of Yamada sensei:
So what does this have to do with voting?
Well consider my position on the Nolan Chart and the direction that the two major candidates are moving in. As much as I would like to shift the debate to the left, it would require a significant amount of political force and time to negate this momentum towards the right and even longer to push it in the opposite direction. It would be much more efficient to push "north" and allow the momentum to carry the political culture towards my general position.
In other words, voting for Gary Johnson might actually be the path of least resistance to my desired policies.
Metagaming the Election
Here you can start to see my predicament. Part of me wants to vote for Gary Johnson, because I think that doing so would be mostly likely to shift the debate in the direction I want it to go. Part of me wants to vote for Jill Stein, as doing so would help strengthen the political party that I belong to. Part of me wants to vote for Barack Obama, but only because doing so would have the greatest chance of preventing a Romney presidency. According to the latest polling data, the odds of Obama being re-elected are 4:1. Those are pretty good odds, but this is a high stakes game. It sure would be nice if there was a way to "have my cake and eat it too".
It turns out that there is.
I can metagame the election.
The idea of metagaming, is that it's possible to apply knowledge from "outside the game" to alter one's strategy in a way that increases the chance of success. In this case, I've decided to employ a strategy of vote pairing.
You see, I live in the same state as my in-laws who traditionally vote Republican. However, despite a history of voting GOP, they're both very rational people. Romney keeps shooting himself in the foot by saying things that are downright stupid. Screen windows are airplanes? Free health care at the emergency room? The more Romney talks, the easier it becomes to convince rational people that he's unfit to be president.
After many nights of debate, we've come to the realization that we're only voting for one of the two major parties because the other party is "worse". From there, a solution presents itself: "I'll agree to not vote for Barack Obama if you agree to not vote for Mitt Romney". This agreement is mutually beneficial to both parties involved. Without this agreement, our votes just cancel each other out. With the agreement, the net benefit to each candidate is still zero but now those votes are free to be spent elsewhere. The end result is that we each have a larger impact on the presidential election without altering the outcome.
With the vote pairing secured, I'm free to vote for Stein or Johnson at my own discretion. Both of these candidates agree on what I think is the most important issue: ending our "wars" (of which there are too many to list). They differ on a number of issues, particularly on economics and the environment. Personally, I think that the Greens and Libertarians need to meet half-way on the issues for an Eco-libertarian ticket. Jill Stein needs to recognize that the US Tax Code is a mess and needs reform. Doing so can help eliminate corporate handouts, many of which go to industries that adversely affect public health. Gary Johnson needs to recognize that laissez-faire economic policies alone will not fix our broken health care system or halt the impending climate change. I'm going to be looking forward to seeing debates between Stein and Johnson which I think will highlight the complexities of these issues and hopefully identify some possible solutions.
That's great, but what can I do?
You can enter a vote pairing agreement with someone of the opposite party. If you would ordinarily vote for the Democrats, you can click here to find out which of your Facebook friends "like" Mitt Romney. If you would ordinarily vote for the Republicans, you can click here to find out which of your Facebook friends "like" Barack Obama. Talk about the issues that are important to you in the race, discuss your objections to the other candidate, and if things go well, agree to both vote for a third party. If everyone did this, one of those 3rd parties might actually win. Even if it doesn't change the outcome, you'll know that your vote didn't "spoil" the election for your second choice.
If you want to go one step further, you can Occupy the CPD. Sign the petition to tell the Commission on Presidential Debates that you think we should hear from all qualified candidates and not just the two that they think we should hear from.
Finally, research the alternative parties and join one that matches your personal beliefs. Even you end up voting for one of the two major parties, joining a 3rd party and supporting that movement can have a significant effect on future campaigns. Here's a few links to get you started:

Since Demi Moore is a celebrity and it's her job to look good, one might assume she's gone under the knife for results like these. However, she's admitted to only having work done just once, but she hasn't ruled out going back for more in the future.
According to the New York Daily News, Ashton Kutcher's wife has worked hard to get the "body that I always wanted." Moore apparently achieved this, in part, by following The Clean Program which is a 21-day detox program that allows for one solid meal and two drinks or liquid meals a day.
She was quick to point out on Twitter though, "There is no starving involved! It is all about nourishing the body!"
One could also deduce that since she has the means, Demi Moore just might have a personal trainer to help her keep her girlish figure as well.
Do you hate her for looking so good for her age? Or are you impressed? Do you think she's being self-absorbed by flaunting it? Or do you just not care? Whatever your opinion, it's a safe bet her husband Ashton Kutcher, who is fifteen years her junior, is a pretty happy man.

Fremantle skipper Matthew Pavlich looks likely to be a shock omission from tonight's All-Australian team, after telling a media conference today that he was not invited to the awards ceremony in Melbourne.
Pavlich, whose 69 goals in 2012 included 62 in the home-and-away season, was considered to be a near certainty to earn a seventh All-Australian jumper - with some judges calling for him to be named captain of the squad.
But at a press conference today, Pavlich let slip that he had not received an invite to the All-Australian presentation.
Teammate Luke McPharlin is already on his way to Melbourne for the ceremony.
"I'm not heading across, so I don't know what that means," Pavlich said.
"I haven't been invited. I guess we'll find out tonight. Individual awards aren't what you play footy for, it's team success - so it's not a focus.
"I'm looking forward to having a break and getting ready for next year."
Pavlich kicked 51 goals in his final 12 home-and-away games of the season, including a haul of five against Collingwood, batches of six versus Richmond and the Western Bulldogs, seven goals against GWS and eight majors in the western derby thrashing of West Coast.
The All-Australian team is selected only on home-and-away performances and does not including finals games, such as Pavlich's six goals in Fremantle's elimination final win over Geelong.
"I started a bit slow and probably mirrored the group, the team in general," Pavlich said.
"When you are a forward you are probably a byproduct of what happens up field a bit.
"I didn't have the greatest start to the year but certainly felt like I really contributed towards the end of the year and impacted and influenced the games really strongly."
Pavlich was one of seven potential key forwards named in the 40-man All-Australian shortlist a fortnight ago, alongside Adelaide's Taylor Walker, Hawthorn's Buddy Franklin, Geelong's Tom Hawkins, North Melbourne's Drew Petrie, Richmond's Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt and St Kilda's Nick Riewoldt.
His apparent omission did not escape the attention of commentators on the other side of the country, with SEN's Morning Glory radio show tweeting that the Freo star was its listener's choice as All-Australian full-forward:
"We ran a poll this morning who should get the nod for FF spot - Pav, Hawkins, Riewoldt or Franklin? Pav won hands down."
Had Pavlich been named All-Australian he would have moved to the outright lead ahead of Carlton's Chris Judd for active players with the most AA jumpers.
He would also have moved within two AA selections of Craig Bradley, Stephen Kernahan, Simon Madden, John Platten and Paul Roos for the all-time record.
Pavlich is now set to undergo hip and Achilles surgery for injuries he has carried for much of the season in which he broke Glen Jakovich's record for games by a WA-based player.
The 30-year-old seemed well below his physical best when well-held by Adelaide's Ben Rutten during the Dockers' semi-final loss in Adelaide on Friday night.
Pavlich is expected to take six to eight weeks to recover from an arthroscopy on his hip and surgery to repair his Achilles tendon and will be fit to start pre-season with the Dockers in November.

This blog is not being abandoned only that we just moved in and so many things to do and internet was not our priority. Only last night Daddy had a chance to connect our internet so me and my mummy hadn't had any chance to update our blog unless we go to our friend's house. Alright, here I am today back to blogging and will try to catch up as I can. I have so many new photos especially our beach trip last week with family and friends.
So, babyboy is trying to post pictures later bit by bit alright? Its just that, my Daddy got all the files on his computer and for now it is not working yet as it refused the connection so I am just here using my Mummy's laptop and I hope she would not mine.

Charming and Adorable
Not just one, two or three people admires my adorable character but almost everyone. They like my characteristics and my being a good natured little fella. I never lose my smile, perhaps I got it from Mummy. They love my curly hair, my eyes, my cheeks and especially my smile. I am also very friendly and never hit any child unless they will hit me first. Look how cute I look on these photos!

Saturday Pic
I and my family went for a simple meal yesterday at lunch time in the nearby town. We went to TGI Fridays and golly it was so tasty the food. It was a special family meal and family quality time since its weekend. We managed to eat a lot and spend a lot too for just the four of us. Small family but with large intestine. Anyway, this is my pic while waiting for our appetiser (English spelling if you wonder) appetizer (american speeling). I had my doggy style ballon that is given by a beautiful waitress. So kind of her giving me balloon I guess just to entertain me while waiting for our orders.

Grandpa Look-a-alike
This is my pic taken just yesterday on our way to pick up my big sissy. I am feeling so fresh and clean after an hour washing myself with the help of my Mummy. She likes cleaning me and washing me twice a day. I also like it because it is very soothing and relaxing. Mummy said I like my Grandpa on this picture.

King - A Lost Opportunity?
Okay, he`s not coming, we`ll get over it, in fact we`re not even sure we actually wanted him are we?
He might have had a dodgy knee, he might have had a wobbly ankle or his chest could have been about to implode, who knows and who cares.
Marlon certainly doesn`t, so let`s simply wish him well, wish him every success because as he has remarked upon joining that illustrious northern club, Wigan (stop laughing at the back there!),
"It`s all about opportunities."
"I`ve been given one and I want to take it, hopefully things will work out well."
I`m sure they will Marlon, I`m sure they will, but do we care, do we f***!

Government Waste Too Massive?
Even as our rulers pretend that the debt ceiling must be raised to prevent Armageddon, they continue to shovel our money at projects like the investigation into the well-worn joke, "That's what she said." From Big Government:
The University of Washington recently received graduate research fellowship funding from the [taxpayer-funded National Science Foundation] in excess of $14 million. The Computing Research Association received an additional $14 million from the NSF.
Look what we're getting for the money:
"That's What She Said: Double Entendre Identification" summarizes research dedicated to the double entendre "that's what she said". The researches assigned values for "noun sexiness", "adjective sexiness", and "verb sexiness". Once inserted into a mathematical equation, these values predict whether use of this double entendre would be appropriate.
How do these parasites justify wasting our money so brazenly?
A closer look at the Computing Innovations Fellows Project abstract provides insight into why these two researches received funding for this double entendre project. According to the abstract, "This project will forestall a permanent loss of research talent likely to occur if new PhDs are forced to seek employment outside of the field due to the sharp cuts brought about by the recent budget crisis."
In other words, it's make-work.
Notably, the worst villain in Atlas Shrugged is Robert Stadler, who sells out his principles to become head of the State Science Institute. Government science is a contradiction in terms. It functions as a jobs program for people who have the skills to find far more productive work in the free market.
According to our ruler, there is no problem with this sort of deliberate waste, because spending other people's money is an end in itself.
On a tip from Henry.

The University will seek not merely to turn out men as engineers, scientists, doctors, merchants, theologians but also as men of high character, probity and honour, whose conduct through life will show they bear the hall-mark of a great University.

A teaching university would but half perform its function if it does not seek to develop the heart-power of its scholars with the same solicitude with which it develops their brain-power. Hence it is that the proposed university has placed formation of character in youth as one of its principal objects.Mahamana Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya Ji -- The Founder

This is a really good argument. If there are changes in 9.0 that are designed to mitigate the impact of this change, then we should wait at least one or two more releases before doing anything.

I really don't want to risk its presence being a burden on anything, and the iowait it induces probably makes it turn itself off for another PREFETCH_DELAY (5s). I really don't want to cross the line to where it is detrimental in any way.

The presentation of the baggy green cap to a Test debutant is one of the great sporting ceremonies. Watching Mark Taylor present George Bailey with his cap gave me goosebumps. Just watching his teammates congratulating him and being genuinely happy for George was really cool.
This initiation concept was brought into Australian cricket by Steve Waugh. The whole concept is to help the debutant feel accepted by his teammates. To make him feel approved by his peers. Sadly, this custom didn't happen in my day.
A lot of things didn't happen in my day. I must admit I felt a tinge of jealousy towards Bailey. Nearly 30 years ago I received my cap and there was no such fanfare. There was no ceremony involving a cricketing great. I received my cap from my postman. His name was Peter Brown. Peter was delivering a parcel from the Australian Cricket Board, which held my shirts, jumpers, blazer and cap. I opened the parcel to see my baggy green on top of my blazer and Peter reached in to pick up the cap and proudly placed it on my head.
Wearing the baggy green for the first time is just incredible. You have to put up with some pain at first as the ends of the peak have a tendency to be very tight. It is like pushing your thumbs into the sides of your temple. It is irritating at first, but trust me, it is a nice pain to have.
But the main reason for my jealousy was the acceptance and a feeling of belonging with his teammates. I made my debut on the 1984 tour to the West Indies. It was an awful time to play for Australia. Greg Chappell, Rod Marsh and Dennis Lillee had just retired from Test cricket and South African cricket officials, like Dr Ali Bacher, were lingering around trying to induce players to play in South Africa on an unauthorised tour.
I was the first player to reject Bacher's $200,000 tax-free offer and my teammates hated me for it. Players had their own agendas. Our team culture was pathetic and most players were very selfish. On the night of my first Test in Trinidad, I was struck down with the worst virus. My roommate was Geoff Lawson. He rightly said he didn't want me in his room for fear of catching the virus. Our manager at the time, Colin Egar, said the ACB wouldn't pay for another room. So I slept in the corridor outside my room for three nights until I was well. Can you believe a Test cricketer sleeping in the corridor during his first Test?
An example of the bad culture within our team came when one of our front-line bowlers got very upset when he didn't get the new ball. He was furious that he was selected to bowl first change. This particular bowler took our first wicket for the match. When everyone ran in to congratulate him, he threw a haymaker punch at our captain, Kim Hughes. When asked to explain his actions by Hughes, the bowler's response was, ''I got a wicket for ya'', and walked back to his mark. Oh yes, things were very different then.
I am so happy for Bailey to be playing in a better environment than I did. It would be far better to play for Australia today than in my time.
Bailey has a massive Cricket Australia contract and will receive just under $15,000 for his match fee. In 1984, I received my first contract from the ACB and it was $3000. Match fees were around $500. We also travelled to the West Indies for 58 hours in economy and landed seven hours before our first tour match. There was no TV covering the Test matches and we had to face the mighty West Indies. It was a very tough initiation to play cricket for Australia.
I have no problem or jealousy about today's Test cricketer earning big money. I am just so jealous that today's cricketers have the best of everything. They have their own rooms. They have specialist coaches around them with state-of-the-art practice facilities. They have instant access to footage to see their techniques under pressure. They have the best fitness co-ordinators who can help you reach your potential quicker. They have the best of the best.
Today's cricketers can have their families present to watch their boy play for Australia. What an honour and privilege that is. I wish I had my wife and family around to have done the same.
And what a time to play Test cricket now, when Ashes cricket is at its best. Television ratings are huge and the production is just terrific. And Bailey will now be subjected to the decision review system and neutral umpires. I don't like the way DRS is used, but the concept is appealing to me. I just think it should be used only by the umpires at their discretion. I hate it when I see players challenge the umpire's decision.
I am so happy for Bailey to be playing in a better environment than I did.
Neutral umpires are OK, but as a cricketer I preferred to have the best umpires available for Test series such as the Ashes. If the best umpires came from England, so be it. The English umpires on the 1989 tour were terrific. I remember they gave 17 leg-before wickets to Terry Alderman, although Terry complains they still missed at least 10 others.
Today's players are given the best kit to wear, with four shirts per series. We were only given one tracksuit and my four shirts lasted for my whole career. It was like breaking an arm to get anything out of the Australian board. Today, the players just get everything they want, and rightly so.
I was finished at age 31, while Bailey starts his Test career at the same age. But I have just a small tip for George if he is contemplating on getting his Test number tattooed on his body. Just get the number right first - Michael Slater tattooed the wrong number on his leg.
Welcome to the club.

Harriet and Fletcher Tuke have worked hard to raise their children well. Daniel, the eldest son, has always accepted that his birth father died soon after he was born, and Fletcher has raised Daniel as his own.
But as Daniel comes of age and begins to fall in love with childhood friend Beatrice Hart, he can't help but wonder about his heritage – his olive skin and dark eyes reminding him daily of the difference between him and his siblings, and between his and Beatrice's families. Meanwhile, shocking truths about Fletcher's own family line are suddenly brought to the surface, revealing a connection between the two families.
Daniel's wish to learn about his bloodline takes him to Europe, where decisions about his future take shape. But will it be one he can share with Beatrice? And as Harriet hopefully awaits his return back home on the farm, she could never imagine that answers to questions about her own family are also just on the horizon.
If you enjoy books by Katie Flynn and Dilly Court, you'll love Val's heartwarming stories of triumph over adversity.

Analysis Notebook, SBXLVIII: Where Denver Attacks
Welker in particular has caught all six passes thrown his way when he has been targeted on those intermediate depth crossing routes and will be a real danger against this formation. The interesting matchup here is whether Earl Thomas will key on this route from his center-field position and use his closing speed to lay a big hit on the smaller receiver at some point.
Let's just hope Welker doesn't get to test his claim that he'd play through a concussion in the Super Bowl.

As someone who enjoys baking, sometimes I tend to forget about the other half of the world. You know, that "savory" half. Baking isn't all about cupcakes and muffins.
And honestly, sometimes there are only so many sweets you can take… I mean it's rare but every once in a while I hit a wall where I feel like I am literally going to hurl if I see one. more. freaking. cookie. Like for real.
Enter: these crackers. Your saviors. They are here to give you a delightfully salty treat when one more cookie is the last thing you need. They are light and crisp and packed with cheesy flavor, thanks to the extra sharp cheddar.
You don't have to use cheddar, but you will want to use a nice strong cheese to make sure your flavors stand out. Some browning on the bottom of your cracker will also help you in this department, as will a sprinkle of smoked paprika on top… if you feel so inclined.
- 8 Tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup grated extra sharp cheddar cheese*
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse butter until it is broken up. Add the cheese, salt, and spices and pulse until the mixture forms small curd-like pieces.
- Add flour and pulse until the dough forms into a loose dough with pea-sized clumps, about 1 minute.
- Turn dough out onto a clean work surface and knead it gently until a cohesive dough forms. Divide the dough in half and pat each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour, or until firm.
- Working 1 disk at a time, roll the dough out between sheets of parchment to 1/4-inch thick. Using a cookie or biscuit cutter, cut into round disks (I used a 1-inch cutter), placing the rounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather the scraps and re-roll and cut the remaining dough (I did this twice). Repeat with second disk of dough.
- Place baking sheet, lightly wrapped with plastic, in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F degrees. If desired, sprinkle disks with sea salt and bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the bottoms start to brown.
- Once you remove them from the oven, sprinkle them with sweet or smoked paprika and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
* Dorie uses Gruyere in her book, she also recommends Comte or Emmenthal as well. Any semi-firm cheese should work here.
* This dough can either be rolled and cut, as in the directions, or chilled into a log and sliced into 1/4-inch disks. Whichever you prefer.
[ Recipe from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan]
