In my house we have always had Petrol cars, and, although i have driven diesel vehicles many times, i like petrol cars more either if they are turbocharged or aspirated.
I personally like petrol more than diesel reasons are:
I like changing gears at 6000RPM and not 4000.
I Dislike the noise the diesel engines make...
I dislike the vibration the car has on a diesel even though modern diesel cars vibrate less.
It's true that diesel cars fuel tank last longer but still i keep a petrol car anytime.

Sean Murray is fit for Watford's Capital One Cup first round clash with Stevenage tomorrow but Mathias Ranegie has joined Ikechi Anya and Craig Cathcart on the Hornets' injury list.
Murray suffered a dead leg in the pre-season fixture with Coventry City and missed Saturday's Championship opener with Bolton Wanderers.
However, he is available for tomorrow's clash at Broadhall Way.
Swedish striker Ranegie has a groin injury and will miss the game as a precaution while Anya remains out with a knee problem.
Cathcart (knee) is a long-term absentee as are young strikers Bernard Mensah (knee) and Uche Ikpeazu (ankle).
Cristian Battocchio and Alex Jakubiak will miss the contest as they have been called up to the Italian Under-21 and Scotland Under-19 sides respectively.
Midfielder Keith Andrews, who wasn't eligible to play against Bolton Wanderers due to the terms of his loan, could make his Hornets debut against Boro.

The Senate overwhelmingly passed President Obama's tax package negotiated with Republican leaders, setting up a final vote in the House expected to as early as Thursday. The Senate approved the tax extenders that would add nearly a trillion dollars to the U.S. debt in a 81-19 vote. The tax deal package would extend current income tax rates for another two years and add hundreds of billions in additional spending through sweeteners and a 13-month extension in jobless benefits.
The deal was approved by Republicans and Obama but faces stiff opposition among House Democrats who say Americans should have to pay larger percentages of taxes on bequeathed estates than is negotiated in the deal.
Health care law's massive, hidden tax change
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- An all-but-overlooked provision of the health reform law is threatening to swamp U.S. businesses with a flood of new tax paperwork.
Section 9006 of the health care bill -- just a few lines buried in the 2,409-page document -- mandates that beginning in 2012 all companies will have to issue 1099 tax forms not just to contract workers but to any individual or corporation from which they buy more than $600 in goods or services in a tax year. The stealth change radically alters the nature of 1099s and means businesses will have to issue millions of new tax documents each year.
Right now, the IRS Form 1099 is used to document income for individual workers other than wages and salaries...
But under the new rules, if a freelance designer buys a new iMac from the Apple Store, they'll have to send Apple a 1099. A laundromat that buys soap each week from a local distributor will have to send the supplier a 1099 at the end of the year tallying up their purchases.
The bill makes two key changes to how 1099s are used. First, it expands their scope by using them to track payments not only for services but also for tangible goods. Plus, it requires that 1099s be issued not just to individuals, but also to corporations.
Taken together, the two seemingly small changes will require millions of additional forms to be sent out.
"It's a pretty heavy administrative burden," particularly for small businesses without large in-house accounting staffs, says Bill Rys, tax counsel for the National Federation of Independent Businesses.....

Absolutely nothing tastes as good as grilled food. And that is the main reason why we reccommend the Kalamazoo Hybrid grill. Meant for the serious griller, this kitchen unit can grill both veggies as well as meat to the perfect smokey taste that we love so much with the help of a liquid propane system that runs on a mixture of charcoal, wood and gas.
The griller also comes with interchangeable grilling drawers to offer more culinary options and packs� on a very cool� 144,000 BTU's of cooking power. But we were particularly impressed by the infrared rotisserie cradle system apart from the wok-ready side burner.
If you desire more action, make use of the Offset Smoker Box. Even the 864-sqaure inch primary grilling area and the stainless steel construction reflect the time and research spent on the development of this grilling unit which will add its own glamor to your kitchen. The price tag is a bit huge at $14,700 but definitely worth every penny spent on it.

Orme Hardware owner Richard McCoy describes his company's claim to fame with a simple description: "We still run an old-time hardware store."
Of course, there's a lot more to it than that. Certainly, the Do it Best Corp. member with business roots that reach back to 1869 has an old-school flavor — one of the locations still operates with rolling ladders and wooden drawers, but McCoy is not only a recognized "Extreme Retailer," he's an innovator and a growth-oriented operator even in today's contracting times.
Cambridge, Ohio-based Orme Hardware added a store in Newark, Ohio, bringing its store count to six, according to an article in the Newark Advocate.
The new store is called Orme's On Main, and it will continue to be part of the Do it Best co-op, according to the article. Orme's five other stores -- in Berlin, Cambridge, New Concord, Cadiz and Newcomerstown -- are also Do it Best stores.

how do we know that e^ix is a circle when plotted??
Let .
But since
If we divide both sides by z, we get

Substituting into the equation gives .
So .
And since we know is a circle of radius 1, so must be .
Personally I prefer the proof by Maclaurin series.
You can also work with . It's not too hard to show that the modulus is equal to 1 and that the argument is equal to x (I leave this for others who are interested).

Over 33 million women worldwide were represented by 100 global women leaders at the first International Women's Earth and Climate Summit held two weeks ago in Suffern, New York. Nobel Peace Laureate, Jody Williams, announced last week that women are putting the world on notice that women will "raise our voices followed by serious actions" pointing to possible boycotts and protests of corporations that are contributing to climate change escalation.
Global grassroots women met with women world leaders "to bridge the gap between the women on the ground and the world policy makers". The global women addressed protecting the water, oceans, air, and forests, focusing on the need for a deep systemic change concerning carbon emissions. High on the list of concerns was protection of food sovereignty/ stability, how oil, coal, fracking, and nuclear industries which are negatively impacting climate change, (and human rights issues surrounding these issues), protection of tribal lands and peoples, and protection of the rainforests.
Osprey Lake, Co-Director of the recent International Women's Earth and Climate Summit, proclaimed, "Nature is not waiting while politicians debate. We need a deep overall analysis about climate change right now. Enough is enough."
Dr. Sylvia Earle re: Oceans
Speaking from the Women's Summit, [in an exclusive phone interview with Jane Ayers Media,] one renowned delegateNational Geographic Marine biologist, Dr. Sylvia Earle,addressed the climate change dangers to the oceans, "Right now we are in the 'sweet spot', the right spot to secure ourselves, but we have to hurry." Pointing to the loss of half of the coral reefs, vast amounts of fish species, and a threat to plankton which produce oxygen, Dr. Earle pointed out immediate change is needed.
Dr. Earle warned, "Global warming has a great impact on all life. There's a range favorable for all species, from microbes to humans to whales. Right now the warm temperatures are somewhat okay, but the long-range overall warmer settings predicted could bring rapid changes with unknown consequences ~ not favorable to mankind.
She requested, "Look at the consequences and take seriously all the needs of the air, land, water in the rivers, lakes, and oceans. We have the power to not dam all the rivers. We have the power to not pollute the air. We have the power to not cut down all the trees. If we cut down all the trees, old-growth or rainforests, it will not be good for humankind. We have the power to not cut down all the trees, because it drastically impacts us."
Concerning the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Dr. Earle lamented, "Radioactivity is one more impact we have infected into the ocean system. Oceans are resilient but we are facing tipping points. With carbon at 400/ we have crossed the line. How much decline in plankton is acceptable? We all like to breathe but if we destroy the systems that make oxygen and that take up the carbon, then what? This is the last time we have to assert ourselves and make it right. Most oxygen is generated by creatures in the sea. Everyone has a stake in this. Yes, we need to take care of the water, but we also need to take care of the living parts of the water, i.e. the fish."
Pointing to a crossroads mankind is facing, Dr. Earle explained, "I joked at the International Women for Earth & Climate Summit that women can help find solutions to climate change by focusing on the oceans because half the fish in the ocean are female. But seriously, we are in a moment in time, at a crossroads, where we are facing global rising sea levels, floods increasing, etc. We are at a pivotal point in time, and I am emphasizing the role of oceans to governments, and the world. The plankton play a largely neglected role but they generate the oxygen that takes up the carbon. The plankton are most important to humankind surviving, and makes the planet function properly. "
Stating that the ocean keeps us alive, Dr. Earle explained, "Most people might think the ocean is only a source of recreation or fishing. But we must recognize that the ocean keeps us alive. It is a cornerstone of life's system, and only now are we appreciating how important oceans are to every breath we take, to every drink of water we injest. We have impacted the oceans over the last fifty years, and now we have an unprecedented chance to solve some of these problems."

Indians pound Mudcats, 13-0
Zebulon, NC - In an exhibition game between the Carolina Mudcats and the Cleveland Indians yesterday at Five County Stadium, the visiting Indians put on a show for the fans as they blanked the Mudcats 13-0.
A rare sight and only acceptable in an exhibition game, Scott Barnes got the start for the Mudcats while appearing on the pitching mound in a Cleveland Indians uniform. In the first inning, Barnes was able to quickly strike out Michael Brantley, but the next batter he faced, Asdrubal Cabrera, jumped on the first pitch and gave the Indians an early 1-0 lead. Shin-Soo Choo drew a walk from Barnes and quickly stole second base. Following a wild pitch, Choo raced over to third and beat the throw from Mudcats' catcher Jake Lowery.
The Indians' designated hitter, Travis Hafner, hit a high fly ball to deep left field where Delvi Cid was unable to make the out when he lost the ball in the high afternoon sun. Choo easily scored from third giving the Indians a 2-0 lead.
On the mound for the Indians was Derek Lowe, a former 2004 Boston Red Sox World Series Champion. Before bringing his services to the Indians as a free agent for the 2012 season, Lowe pitched for the Atlanta Braves for three seasons between 2009 and 2011. Lowe began his professional baseball career with the Seattle Mariners in 1997. Retiring the first seven batters he faced, Lowe also recorded three strikeouts before giving up a hit up the middle to Ronny Rodriguez for Carolina's first hit of the game.
Indians' outfielder Shelley Duncan led off the third inning by exploding on a pitch from Barnes for a one run shot to give Cleveland a 3-0 lead. Following a walk to Jason Kipnis, Jack Hannahan hit what appeared to be a routine fly ball to deep left-center field. Two Mudcats' players converged on the ball to make the play, but neither one was able to come away with the out. Kipnis advanced to third while Hannahan easily made it to second base. Cleveland added another run in the fourth to make the score 4-0. Barnes got out of the inning by striking out Asdrubal Cabrera.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Mudcats' third baseman Giovanny Urshela managed a double off a long fly ball to deep center. However, his teammates left him stranded and the Indians maintained a 4-0 lead entering the fifth inning.
Indians' infielder Jose Lopez lead off the top of the 7th inning with a double to shallow right field. Consecutive walks by Mudcats' pitcher Giovannni Soto to Aaron Cunningham and Gregorio Petit loaded the bases, and then a sacrifice fly to deep left field by Chad Huffman scored Lopez from third. Soto was unable to find the strike zone against Lou Marson who drew a walk and loaded the bases again. Jason Donald came to the plate and on a 3-2 count lined a two run single to left field.
With the score now 7-0, Mudcats' manager Edwin Rodriguez relieved Soto and brought in J.D. Reichenbach in relief. Reichenbach didn't fare much better than Soto as he walked two consecutive batters forcing home another run for the Indians. After the Mudcats were able to record the third out of the inning, Mudcats' pitchers Soto and Reichenbach combined for five walks and four runs to give the Indians an 8-0 lead.
With two outs in the top of the 8th inning, Jason Donald crushed a three run shot to left field to extend Cleveland's lead to 11-0. The top of the ninth was more of the same story for Carolina's pitching. The bases were loaded several times and two singles by Gregorio Petit and Lou Marson drove in two more runs for the Indians. With the score now an untouchable 13-0, the Mudcats came up to bat for the final time in the game.
Finally able to draws a couple of walks from Cleveland's bullpen, Carolina failed to advance the runners and the game was over.
Mudcats' pitchers combined for 13 total walks compared to only two walks surrendered by Cleveland. The Mudcats were never able to advance a runner past second base giving Carolina's manager Edwin Rodriguez plenty to discuss with his players before their opening night match-up against the Winston-Salem Dash on Friday, April 6th, 2012.
Despite the loss to the Indians, the Carolina Mudcats 2012 season promises several new and exciting changes to the long history of professional baseball in Zebulon, North Carolina. Earlier this year, the Mudcats entered into a two-year player development contract with the Cleveland Indians. The merger with the Indians not only brings a new affiliation with a professional ball club, it also moves the Mudcats from the Double-A Southern League to the High-A Carolina League.
Edwin Rodriguez, the new manager of the Mudcats, joins the team following two seasons of managing the Florida Marlins where he compiled a 78-85 record. A 32 year veteran as a baseball player and coach, Rodriguez will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the dugout. Rodriguez continues his baseball career with the Mudcats where he was the hitting coach in 2004.
The exhibition game against Carolina is the Indians final game of spring training before beginning their 2012 Major League Baseball season. They are set to face the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday, April 5th at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

Marlborough – For Isabella Bettinger, 8, "Celebrate Me Day" at Richer Elementary School meant a lot of work, and a lot of learning – not about school topics, but about her classmates.
Principal Joanne Stocklin said Isabella, a third-grader, managed to fill a book with artwork and information about herself in only two weeks, when she first entered the school after moving to Marlborough. Then she had a chance not only to share the information with her new schoolmates, but also learn about them.
The school's first "Celebrate Me Day" involved a series of projects that allowed students to complete a variety of projects that could be used as a way to inform others about their interests, family, culture or personal history.
"It's a good day, because kids can learn about other kids in their school," said Matthew Allen, 8.
And that was the point. School adjustment counselor Karen Rivera-Edmond brought the idea from her last position in a Connecticut school.
"The goal is to have each child celebrate themselves and celebrate individuality," Rivera-Edmond said. "It creates a sense of community and connects children who may have similar interests that probably wouldn't have made that connection."
The children filled white books ; second-graders made PowerPoint presentations; third graders made showcases; then the classes followed a schedule that Stocklin devised, allowing them to visit and host other classes. Kindergarten students made "Me Balls" out of decorated paper plates that were stapled together, Rivera-Edmond said.
The day ended with an all-school meeting at which Stocklin presented a surprise to the students and faculty.
"While we're celebrating your individuality, I didn't want you to forget we are a school and a family," she said. "This is my celebration of my wildcats and my staff at Richer."
Then Stocklin played a slide show of the students and teachers. "Wildcat" derives from the school mascot, "Richie Richer," a wildcat selected through a voting process in the school last year. Stocklin initiated the process to help build community in the school during her first year as principal, she said. Many of the students wore the tie-dyed wildcat Tshirts.
And "Celebrate Me Day" was a community effort not only on the students' part, Rivera-Edmond said. Teachers were instrumental in the day's success, helping brainstorm ideas and projects, and then guiding the students through their projects, she said.
Sandy MacCormac, a first-grade teacher, and Faye Lessner, a third-grade teacher, said the classroom visits allowed the students to work on their social skills.
MacCormac said she talked with her students about how they could show interest in other students' projects.
"We brainstormed questions we could ask and compliments they could give," she said.
Lessner also worked with her class to come up with comments, too, and the process worked even better after they practiced during lunch.
"It was nice to see the interaction of the students," she said.
The preparation for the event involved a lot of work, MacCormac said.
"I think the kids are proud they did it," she said. "Being able to showcase [the work] is the keystone."
Eric Lopez smiled as he showed off his white book, filled with colorful pictures.
"It's exciting," he said, "that everybody comes here because they can know stuff about me."

Eight-year-old Daisy Edmonds and her mum Becky, from Wilshire, were shopping in Tesco when Daisy noticed that slogans on clothes designed for girls were far more uninspiring than the boys' equivalent.
Her mum filmed Daisy's amazing response, which has since been viewed over 1.3 million times.
In a video posted to Facebook, Daisy pointed out that while the girls' tops said things like 'Hey', 'Beautiful' and 'I feel fabulous', the T-shirts for boys had for more exciting slogans like 'Hero!' and 'Think outside the box'.
Image: Lolly and Doodle/ Facebook
Daisy said: 'It's unfair because everyone thinks that girls should just be pretty and boys should just be adventurous.
'I think that's wrong because why should boys and girls clothes even be separated because we're just as good as each other.'
In the video, Becky shares her daughter's point of view, calling Daisy her 'hero' and asks her whether they should buy her the green boys' top, with Daisy nodding in agreement.
Image: Lolly and Doodle/ Facebook
Commenting on the messages behind the slogans, Daisy said: ''Think outside the box', what does this mean? It means go on your adventures, let nothing stop you, go for your own dreams. And 'hey', what is that even supposed to mean?'
Image: Lolly and Doodle/ Facebook
She added 'I don't find inspiring. What part of 'hey' is great? I don't get it.'
But Daisy then went one step better, adding that because she thinks girls want to be heroes and have adventures as well, she went and put the some of the boys' t-shirts in the girls' section.
After reaching out to Tesco, the store responded to Becky's video, saying: 'We stock a wide variety of clothes suitable for girls and boys and listen to the views of our customers when reviewing our range.
Continued below...
We'd like to thank Daisy for her feedback an we can assure her that new styles will be arriving in stores shortly.'

Just brought this one back from Paris, too. Interesting and very unique to say the least! Here's a wonderful & rare French WWI medal display with bars for two decorations, a center picture frame, dore bronze bow & ribbon/banner engraved "1914-1918 Souvenir Des Cheminots Lexoviens" and set in a brass inlaid mahogany frame! Okay, not being military or war memorabilia buffs, we really have no idea as to the value of this piece....we only know that it's in fine shape and surely a very unique treasure!
Good condition! The silk mat is a bit soiled/discolored and we haven't tried cleaning it. There is a thick piece of glass in the frame though it looks to me like this one would not have had any originally. One repaired split in the lower left side of the frame and the easel back is pretty delicate (but entirely intact). See pictures for measurements.

KYLLACHY showed himself a Group performer in waiting when winning at Newbury on his seasonal reappearance and holds strong claims at Newmarket today.
Henry Candy's lightly-raced four-year-old recorded an outstanding time performance when beating Trace Clip and the way he travelled throughout the race before quickening away marked him out as a horse to follow.
Marcus Tregoning has his string in cracking form and Esloob is strongly fancied to make a winning reappearance at Newmarket tomorrow. She made a winning debut on the July Course last year before finishing third to Gossamer on unsuitably heavy ground at Ascot in the Group One Fillies' Mile.
She will be much better suited by the quicker surface tomorrow and has been giving all the rights signals at home. It would be no surprise if she develops into an Oaks filly.
Rajab showed markedly improved form at the Craven meeting when a close-up third to Fire Up The Band over six furlongs. Mark Johnston's Selkirk colt should appreciate the extra furlong he has to travel tomorrow and can get off the mark for the season. Blagovest did not enjoy the run of a slowly-run race on his reappearance at Newmarket but could spring a surprise at Salisbury.
Kyllachy (2.40 Newmarket, nap) 5pts win TOMORROW Esloob (3.05 Newmarket) 12pts win Rajab (4.20 Newmarket) 5pts win Blagovest (4.05 Salisbury, nap) 4pts win

If Packers are measuring stick, Raiders have long way to go
Updated 11:43 pm, Friday, August 22, 2014
Green Bay, Wis. --
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie was perched seven stories high inside Lambeau Field on Friday night, looking down as an Oakland team he's trying to rebuild battled a Green Bay team he helped assemble.
His thoughts?
"They're a great team and we're still a ways away," said McKenzie, who worked in Green Bay from 1994-2012. "It's a process, though. There are no shortcuts."
That was evident throughout this largely one-sided affair.
Green Bay, one of the Super Bowl favorites, had its way with the overmatched Raiders and rolled to a 31-21 win in the third preseason game for both teams. Oakland slipped to 1-2, while the Packers improved to 2-1.
Green Bay outscored Oakland, 22-7, in the nearly two full quarters the starters played. Oakland played many of its first-teamers late into the third quarter but couldn't make up any ground against the Packers' reserves while falling further behind, 31-7.
"We knew this would be a good test," McKenzie said. "But I think we're making progress. There's no doubt, though, we have some work to do."
Raiders second-year linebacker Sio Moore left the game on a stretcher with a neck injury. But after the game, Raiders coach Dennis Allen said X-rays were negative.
Oakland's No. 1 offense managed just 86 total yards in 33 plays (2.6 yard average) during a disappointing first half. And if it wasn't for a nifty 40-yard touchdown run by Maurice Jones-Drew, that average dipped to 1.4 yards per play.
The performance had to concern Allen and his staff considering it came against a Green Bay team ranked 25th in total defense and 24th in scoring defense a year ago.
"There were a couple of opportunities I felt we let slip away today that had nothing to do with their defense," said Raiders wideout James Jones, who played in Green Bay from 2007-13. "But that was a good test. I've been over there. That's a great football team, man."
Jones-Drew had perhaps his most memorable run in two seasons on his touchdown jaunt. Jones-Drew entered the game averaging just 2.8 yards per carry this preseason, but he made three Packers miss on his way to the end zone.
Unfortunately for Oakland's offense, that was its lone highlight until the final 3 minutes. That's when second-year wideout Brice Butler caught touchdown passes of 19- and 28 yards from Matt McGloin. In between, the Raiders never exited first gear.
The Raiders' defense had its share of struggles, too.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led a seven-play, 73-yard drive to start the game. Eddie Lacy capped the march with a 1-yard touchdown run, and Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson with a two-point conversion pass to make it 8-0.
The Raiders forced Green Bay into three straight punts. But Rodgers engineered back-to-back touchdown drives - highlighted by a 12-yard TD pass to Nelson and a 6-yard strike to Andrew Quarless - as the Packers grabbed a 22-7 halftime lead.
But Raiders safety Charles Woodson, a key cog in Green Bay's Super Bowl championship team in 2010, left his former home encouraged.
"I think we're ready to take a jump," Woodson said. "I feel good about what we did. There are things we have to clean up as a team, but we'll get better."
With the opener just 15 days away, they'll have to. And fast.
Raiders' 3 notables
Maurice Jones-Drew: The ninth-year running back averaged a career-low 3.4 yards per carry last season. But the three-time Pro Bowler made Green Bay safeties Morgan Burnett and Micah Hyde, as well as linebacker A.J. Hawk, miss on his 40-yard first-quarter touchdown run. Perhaps there's still some gas left in MJD's tank.
Matt Schaub: The Raiders insisted all offseason they have a quality quarterback in Schaub. It certainly didn't look that way Friday, though, as Schaub averaged just 4.1 yards per pass attempt. Working against Green Bay's No. 1 and 2 defense, Schaub finished 13 of 27 for 110 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. His passer rating this preseason is a paltry 54.2.
Khalil Mack: The rookie linebacker, the No. 5 pick in May's draft, had a memorable interception late in the first half. Mack bull rushed against right tackle Aaron Adams, then slipped back into coverage to intercept a pass by Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn. It was a veteran move by a rookie, which bodes well for Mack's future.

I just got a really funny rejection letter.
An editor from a little homeschooling magazine had asked me for article pitches. The circulation was small. She wanted something basic and general. Something about what I've learned from homeschooling. Some challenges. Some triumphs. Something encouraging for parents who are doing this now.
I sent her a pitch. I proposed an article called "How homeschooling made me different." It'd mostly be about how homeschooling taught me to be comfortable being myself. And it would also discuss some challenges, like how some of my relentless ambition stems from wanting to prove myself, as a homeschooler. I was not, for the record, looking forward to writing the article. But I try not to turn down homeschooling publications. I reminded myself that this is the stuff I write because it's the right thing to do, not because it's going to advance my career.
And then she sent me a rejection letter. The piece was not a good fit for her publication.
I was so surprised that I laughed aloud. Wait. What?
Here I was, pretty sure she would take whatever I proposed. Wondering if I should just say no, since the magazine wasn't going to be able to help me out.
I wrote her back. I never do that. A rejection is a rejection. That's the business. Believe me, I've gotten plenty of them. You don't talk back. You move on.
I asked her what was going on.
And then she explained why she'd rejected me. I was too negative. Not encouraging enough. I was not happy enough about having been homeschooled. I was talking about challenges too much. I was not celebrating what the Lord had given me.
Suddenly the Lord was involved, and he sounded like he might be pissed at me.
He might be pissed that I wasn't appreciative enough of the great gift I had been given.
Well, hang on. I am very appreciative! I wouldn't have changed my childhood for anything!
Actually, I couldn't believe that someone was accusing me of being too negative about homeschooling. That is literally the first time that has happened. Too positive is what I usually get. Too eager to defend it.
I told her that I am positive about homeschooling, and she said she'd be happy to read some other pitches from me. But it feels different now. I'm annoyed that she's not letting her readers hear from someone who isn't only saying that homeschooling is absolutely perfect. Isn't it better to tell the whole story? Isn't it better to be able to believe in the good stuff, because you're comfortable acknowledging the not- so-good stuff, too?
I hate the idea of a dialogue about homeschooling that's whitewashed, purified, and devoid of real experience. That's exactly what we DON'T need to have.
So here. Here are the things about homeschooling that were negative:
1. I didn't meet a ton of boys my own age, so I dated kind of icky ones.
2. I got really, really cocky for a few of my teenage years, and thought that I had to be the best at everything I tried to do. Which was emotionally tiring.
3. I respected my parents so much that when my friends had problems with theirs, I ALWAYS took their parents' side. OK, I'm not sure how negative that really was, and I'm glad for the respect I had/have towards my parents. It was just kind of awkward.
4. I didn't get to eat enough dessert because my mom is a health nut.
5. I really do feel like I need to prove myself. It's important to me to succeed in obvious, markable, typical ways. This isn't true for homeschoolers. It's true for me.
6. I picked an unconventional path, which makes obvious success harder sometimes. I picked that path because I learned as a homeschooler that I didn't have to do the same things as other people in order to have a good life.
7. I expect to have a happy life. I expect it a lot. I had a happy childhood. I wasn't often bored. And I have high standards for my life now. Sometimes they make things harder.
8. I sometimes don't know how I'm supposed to be as a girl, like I wrote about in the last post. Because I didn't grow up with lots of other girls the same age. This might not be negative.
9. I can't think of very much else. Wait. I'm still mad at my mom for not trusting me enough to stop making me do math. We have different ideas about homeschooling that cause tension. And that's totally because I was homeschooled.
OK, I'm done. That's it for now. The truth about homeschooling.
Now I have to decide what to write back to that editor.

Gotland's growing conditions are unique in Sweden thanks to its lime-rich soil, mild maritime climate and many hours of sunshine. Gotland is the perfect place to grow truffles and asparagus, and you'll easily find unusual ingredients like wild garlic, spring onion and dewberry. The benefit of rich soil also comes through in the flavour of our meat - if you're looking for the perfect place to eat lamb, it's here.
Gotlandic ingredients
Sweet and delicate, spring on Gotland is not complete without crispy whiting with flavours of asparagus, wild garlic, and spring onion. As you might expect, the natural time to pick spring onions is in the spring and it grows wild throughout the island. With a little luck and a good nose you'll find a meadow full of its grass-like stalks.
Wild garlic also thrives in the rich Gotlandic earth. It starts to appear at the beginning of March, or even in February if the winter has been mild, and it's a popular flavour in butter, pesto and aioli.
Asparagus may not be unique to Gotland, but it grows particularly well here. The first Swedish asparagus harvest is often on Gotland, along with many other vegetables. Thanks to the many hours of sun here on Gotland, our vegetables can boast extra flavour and sweetness.
Dewberries also grow freely on Gotland and you can find their small thorny bushes all over the island. The dewberry, known as 'salmbär' on Gotland, is related to the blackberry and looks very similar. The berries are used primarily for cooking jam and this 'salmbärssylt' is a delicious accompaniment to the island's signature dessert - saffron pancakes.
Lamb is synonymous with Gotland and our sheep graze freely on thyme, oregano, rosemary and rocket, which all thrive in the lime-rich soil. They find plenty of these herbs amongst the rich grass in their pastures, which gives Gotlandic lamb its special character.
Gastronomic Gotland
Gotlandic truffles are a really special delicacy. The price may be high, but a small piece of truffle is enough for a great gastronomic experience and a truly magical taste. If you are a fan, don't miss the truffle festival in November for truffle hunting, a truffle market and high-class dinners, amongst many other activities.
In the same spirit, special attention is paid to the spring vegetable harvest over 'Primörpremiärshelgen' - a weekend to celebrate the first vegetable harvest of the year. Throughout May and June you'll find special spring vegetable menus, or 'primörmenyer', in many restaurants here on Gotland.
Late summer then brings the Gotland Harvest Festival, a truly tasty treat for the whole family, where you can enjoy quality Gotlandic products from forest, sea, meadow and field.
Primörpremiär: 22 to 24 May 2015
Gotland Harvest Festival: 6 to 7 September 2015
Gotland Truffle Festival: 13 to 15 November 2015

Lorenzo Sanchez says he and his wife want to move to their inherited property in Los Vigiles, which is north of Las Vegas.
But he said there's a problem with access.
Maps show that a county road goes past the Sanchezes' nearly five acres, but a bridge over a canal owned by the Storrie Project Water Users Association is rotted, preventing cars from continuing on the road. Signs posted on both ends of the bridge read, "Danger — Restricted Area." It's been that way for years.

text: Highlighting Employees Instrumental to the Behavioral Health Clinic Team Wednesday, Apr 8, 2015 Page Image Page ContentThe Boys Town Central Florida Behavioral Health Clinic has experienced great growth in the past two and a half years since opening. The growth has largely been a function of the supportive, hard-working, and caring support staff. The clinic was fortunate to have the assistance of Carmen Rodriguez and Jackie Nitti from the outset.While juggling numerous site responsibilities, these two individuals contributed significantly to the growth of the clinic albeit through networking, outreach, client services and billing. In June 2014, Boys Town Central Florida hired Sandy Cuello. Since arriving, Cuello has been a staple force for the Behavioral Health Clinic. The hard work and dedication from these individuals to the clinic is undeniable."They provide a safe and comforting environment for these families when arriving at the clinic," said Dr. Jason Gallant, Director, Boys Town Central Florida Behavioral Health Clinic. "Many families have come to know these three on a personal level. That means so much in cultivating comfort in the families and ultimately success of the clinic. The growth and sustainability of the behavioral health clinic would not be possible without the support, dedication and hard work of these three women — their work is truly laudable. We are fortunate to have exemplary, first-rate staff who are a perfect union of hard work and passion."Meet two of the women below and experience their personal journey in becoming an instrumental part to Boys Town Central Florida's Behavioral Health Clinic.Sandy Cuello has over 30 years in billing and collections and seven years of experience with psychiatric hospital work. She previously worked at Jerome Golden Center for Behavioral Health in West Palm Beach, Florida. "I was thrilled when Boys Town Central Florida called looking for me," said Cuello, Behavioral Health Clinic Clinical Assistant, Boys Town Central Florida.Cuello's favorite part about her job is working with the Dr. Jason Gallant and the children. "They are our future," explains Cuello. "Working for Dr. Gallant is truly a blessing. Dr. Gallant has so much compassion for children and families and it is reflected in his work. He truly loves his families and it's rewarding to be a part of the experience. Being able to work with the continually growing clinic and knowing that every individual helped is immeasurable!"Cuello is a mother of four children and grandmother to two grandchildren. "I'm a caregiver at heart both in work and with my family," said Cuello. "When I'm not working, I'm with my family. I have parents and a nephew to take care of and I know that my passion for giving is directly correlated to my work and will always be my number one priority."Carmen Rodriguez has been with Boys Town Central Florida since 1998. She started as the Business Assistant, transitioned into Medicaid Billing Specialist, and now Business Manager. When she first applied to Boys Town, Rodriguez had been working from home while raising her son. Initially, she didn't know much about Boys Town. "Once I applied and learned more about what Boys Town did, I was impressed to know that we had such an impacting organization in our city working to help the families and children in our communities," said Rodriguez, Boys Town Central Florida Business Manager.Rodriguez's work week is always changing and evolving. "I work with new employees on background screenings, HR-related information, travel, pre-service training, updating personnel files, billing and other duties as assigned," explained Rodriguez. "To positively impact those around me whether adults or children — knowing that the job I do is making a direct impact on the outcome to Boys Town is what I love about my job."Working at Boys Town has been very rewarding to Rodriguez. "Boys Town teaches me to work as a team and to finish tasks with a strong work ethic," said Rodriguez. "I believe God has allowed me to be part of a bigger vision at Boys Town as we work together to help children obtain hope and prospects for the future. Impacting those around me with a positive attitude and understanding that no matter what happens in our lives, God will be there supporting us."Carmen enjoys spending time with her family. "I have been blessed with a loving and supporting husband, wonderful children, and beautiful smart grandchildren — whom I love very much," said Rodriguez. "I enjoy spending my time with them — going to church, vacations, learning and having fun. Thank you Boys Town for being my second home."

Today's episode of One Life to Live was in our opinion, one of the best written and most beautifully acted episodes in recent memory of all of soapdom. For anyone who does not watch this series, or may have watched in the past, you need to tune back in and you need to tune back in now! With cancellation rumors consistently swirling, if the show was to get axed, it is just such a wrong move and a terrible shame. Just look at today's myriad of stories and performances. Each had stand-out gems that we will remember for some time to come. It was so good; we have got to break down each of the major sections of the show!
Matthew/Nora/Bo – When Eddie Alderson's Matthew, finally reveals and relives the shooting of Eddie Ford and confesses to his parents, (the Llanview D.A. and the Commissioner of Police), that he pulled the trigger after a harrowing experience at the Minute Man Motel with the evil Eddie, it was soap opera at its best. And, how about the quiet, understated reaction of Robert S. Woods (Bo) preparing himself to hear Matthew's story of the ill-fated night? How about the end of the show when a heartbroken Nora breaks down in Bo's arms? Kudos to a fantastic performance by Eddie Alderson. You brought us to tears.
Shane/Rex/Gigi - Who in the viewing audience's heart did not break for poor Shane, and the bullying and emotional abuse he has suffered at the hands of Jack Manning and the gang of kids at Llanview High? The scenes on the roof where Shane wanted to end his life were so well portrayed. But not only that, it was John-Paul Lavoisier (Rex) as a helpless overwrought father (with damn good reason) telling off the High School staff and the students, that made us stand up and cheer. JP was amazing and kudos as well to Austin Williams (Shane). Great work!
Viki/Tea - Is there a better actress on the soap planet then Erika Slezak (Viki)? No, there truly isn't. When Viki is betrayed and hurt, we are betrayed and hurt and feel right along with her. Slezak delivered in spades as Viki tries to cope with the realization that her marriage to Charlie has fallen apart, thanks in part to Echo, but to Charlie too! He wants Echo! She is reeling from finding them in bed together. The conversation between sisters-in-laws, Tea and Viki, in Todd's hospital room, was again well done. Hankies!
Blair/Starr/Jack - The pivotal moment of these sequences was when Blair admitted to Starr that she hit her son, Jack. Kassie DePaiva (Blair) did powerful work with the realization that by her lashing out at Jack; she then is a bully, too. And don't we all want to just "bitch slap" Jack ourselves?
There were other well-played moments between Natalie and Clint and Sean and Tea that had high emotional stakes. To watch the full episode go to ABC.com and check for the posting of today's show. So what did you think of the episode? Let us know your opinion. We told you ours!

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA/CNN) — For the first time, we are hearing a detailed account from the the injured DC cop, who took out the Navy Yard shooter nine months ago.
The Washington Police Foundation named Officer Dorian DeSantis, "Officer of the Year."
The officers who rushed in to stop the Navy Yard killer are remarkably shy.
But after four tries, we finally convinced Dorian DeSantis to talk to us about the moment he killed Aaron Alexis.
"We did encounter him in one of the cubes," DeSantis said.
And he opened fire on you?
"Correct," DeSantis said.
DeSantis took a round in his bullet resistant vest, returned fire and then returned to searching for a second gunman.
You didn't realize you'd been shot?
"I'm a little slow. As long as you're not leaking…(blood). I still had work to do," DeSantis said.
Days later, DeSantis checked his vest again.
"Sure enough, there was a round in the plate. I was very fortunate," DeSantis said.
That vest saved his life.
All the officers we talked to left out one detail. The first thing they saw when they rushed in was the body of murdered security officer Richard "Mike" Ridgell.
And the first thing they heard was the sound of gunfire echoing through the open atrium, as though it was all around them. But still they pressed on.
"Aaron Alexis could literally have hid in that building for days. I mean, for days!" Chief Cathy Lanier,
Metropolitan Police said.
The foundation honored the officers who ended the massacre in one hour and nine minutes.
"To go inside a building and search for an individual whose main mission is to kill individuals and then you have to search for him. That makes the hair on your neck stand up," Officer Vernon Dallas said.
And it is way scarier than a TV camera.

PHOTOS: RFK parking lot covered by massive snow mountains
WASHNGTON - The snow that is being removed from the streets of D.C. continues to pile up in the parking lots of RFK Stadium, covering the fields of asphalt with mountains of snow and ice – some over 12 feet high.
The stadium lots have been used as a snow dumping ground since the storm stopped over the weekend.
Around the city, the process works like this: Small front-end loaders and plows make their way through side-streets, pushing the snow to main roads. Larger loaders gather the snow together into piles and then those piles are loaded into large haul dump trucks. The large haulers make their way to the stadium lots and unload the snow – creating the massive piles.
Snow melters are also being used at the dump site. One melter, on loan from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, can melt up to 80 tons of snow an hour.

Tiny houses or small houses in America are nothing new. Even before European settlers arrived, small and/or portable architecture could be found among the hundreds of Native American tribes scattered across the continent. Most everyone is familiar with tipis (teepees), but Native Americans also lived in humble structures such as wigwams, longhouses, waddle and daub, chickees, grass houses, and small adobe structures, to name a few. Pioneer settlers usually adopted the tried and true log home with chinking. Apartments in crowded cities during the industrial revolution were often very small. Tiny Houses in olden days were much more a factor of necessity rather than of choice.
In today's market where even the very poor have access to houses much larger than our American predecessors, the decision to live in a Tiny House is a very conscious one. Sure, some do it for financial reasons, and saving money is a huge benefit of living tiny, but there is more to it than this. People feel compelled to "do the right thing", reduce their footprint, live within their means, or [insert your reason here]. My reason for choosing the Tiny Life is simple: to keep it simple. Since making the switch to a Tiny House, I have no debt. I have hardly any bills. I have very little house to clean and maintain. I don't own any furniture, and own very little housewares. I have to write one check a month, to rent the land that I park my Tiny House on, and if I really wanted to I could get creative and find a land sitting situation to live on some land for nearly free. If I don't like where I'm out, I can hitch up and move on along.
This is but a brief insight to my personal decision to live in a Tiny House. Everybody else's reason will differ. I've put together this page to help you understand some of the psychology involved in the modern Tiny House movement. First off, a little history. While this movement cannot be contributed to a sole individual, many people in the Tiny House community credit Jay Schafer as the founder after he built "Tumbleweed" in 1999 and went on to not only achieve great success with the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, and now his newer company, Four Lights Tiny Houses, but has been featured on Oprah, in the NY Times, on Ted Talks, in local news stations, and has given several Tiny House workshops across the country, just to mention some of his influence on the movement. Jay will be the first to tell you, however, that there are several others to credit including Sarah Susanka with her book The Not So Big House, Lloyd Kahn, author of Shelter and even Henry Thoreau's Walden, to name but a few. Since these formative years and figures, the Tiny House movement has gained widespread popularity across a variety of outlets including newspapers, TV, documentaries, word of mouth, internet, and most importantly, people that have actually built a Tiny House and live in it full time.
I also own and operate a website about the Paleo Diet. When I first started it back in 2011, the paleo movement was gaining steam, but many were quick to dismiss it as yet another "fad diet". Knowing full well the benefits of this lifestyle, as well as the problems associated with a our modern food system, I knew it wasn't a fad. I knew it would explode, and only get stronger and stronger as people saw for themselves how the diet could change their lives. I feel just as strongly about the Tiny House movement. People are getting tired of filling their cavernous houses with stuff, constantly having to clean and maintain it. They are getting tired of being weighed down by a mortgage they can barely afford.They are getting tired of living paycheck to paycheck. They are just getting sick and tired of all the complications and loss of freedom that come from living in a house that's just too big. Tiny Houses offer a solution to these problems. The Tiny House movement is here to stay, and I think time will show us living tiny is a big idea.
In the spirit of simplicity, there is no need for me to re-invent the wheel or regurgitate what has already been so clearly stated. Below are some links to other websites with their version of the Tiny House Movement that are well worth reading. If you come across some different ones that you really like, feel free to submit them to me and I will re- post.

How did the Sino-Japanese war affect China?
- print Print
- list Cite
I assume you are talking about the war that happened in the 1890s rather than the one that happened just before WWII broke out.
The effect that this war had was to give Japan a great deal of power over China. The war gave Japan the same kinds of powers that the Western countries had, but it also gave Japan a great deal of territory. This made Japan much stronger and gave it a base on the mainland that it could use to try to gradually take more of China for itself.
This is exactly what would happen in the 1930s.
Japan had remained closed to the west until 1853. This isolation angered Americans who wanted to use its ports to supply their ships. The opening of Japan undermined the military government of the Shogun. After a civil war, the emperor was restored to power. Japan began modernizing along western lines. It developed a modern political system and began industrializing. It entered the imperial race by defeating China in 1895 and Russia in 1905. In the process it acquired Korea and Taiwan. Japan was just as brutal as any western power in dealing with conquered peoples.
China proved less successful than Japan in dealing with Western pressure. After its defeat in 1842, China was subjected to the treaty port system, which exempted foreign nationals from being subject to Chinese laws. The defeat in the Sino-Japanese War severely weakened the Chinese government and began a drive by the Western powers to create spheres of influence in China. In 1899 the Europeans and the U.S. agreed to follow the American "open door" policy. Opposition to Western dominance produced the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. The West sent a joint military force to crush the rebellion and China was required to pay a large indemnity.
The defeat of the Chinese at the hands of the Japanese revealed the incapability of the Chinese navy - the Chinese troops had no notion of of modern naval techniques, guns supplied onto the fleets were often of the wrong size and many of the ships had been filled with sand by scrupulous contractors. It was a crushing humiliation for China to have lost to one of their former tributary states. The war changed the landscape of East Asia. It was clear that Japan had, through the Meiji Restoration, not only successfully avoided the fate of being colonised by Western imperial powers, but had also joined them in seeking to colonise China. The tragic losses of the treaty (China was forced to recognise the independence of Korea, which effectively made Korea a Japanese protectorate, and had to cede the whole of Taiwan to Japan) also marked the failure of the Chinese self-strengthening movement. The Qing court was paralysed by their defeat and severely weakened.
She was defeated by Japan, a country she had originally looked down upon. This disastrous defeat brought to China a new wave of foreign imperialism. The Chinese government had exposed its own weaknesses to everybody. She was unable to resist anybody of anything. The avaricious foreign powers soon started to scramble on Chinese territories and sovereign rights. They sliced up the Chinese melon into different portions for further exploitation. The doom of China as a nation and the Chinese as a race became a nightmare to many people who were then affected by Social Darwinist ideas that the strong would become stronger and the weak weaker. The weak would then be cast away through the process of natural selection. Knowing of the grave dangers of their own nation, a new wave of intellectual awakening evolved out of the minds of the Chinese. The reform movement of Liang Ch'i-ch'ao and K'ang Yu-wei worked their way up to the hundred Days Reform. The reformers demanded a full-scale renovation of the Ch'ing government. Any resistance to change was considered detrimental to the existence of China. The revolutionary movement, on the other hand, led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen gathered momentum again after the Sino-Japanese War. The revolutionaries demanded not only far-reaching reforms but also the eradication of the Manchus. The Chinese revolutionary movement was both determined by the war and a determining factor for the future of China.
Moving in parallel direction was a chain of anti-foreign activities and riots in opposition to the imperialistic challenges as brought about by the war. The Boxer Uprising was the culmination of such anti-foreign feelings. The increasing intensity of anti-foreignism must be attributed to the further and the deepening erosion of Chinese sovereignty by foreign imperialism. The allowance given to Japan and the western powers to build factories in China was a direct affront to China's domestic industries. Chinese nascent industrial enterprises were much hampered by the presence of stronger and privileged foreign counterparts on Chinese soil. Hence, Chinese anti-imperialism became a norm and the driving force for the future development of China and Chinese nationalism.

Televangelist Jim Bakker has suggested that President-elect Donald Trump pass a law requiring immigrants who are being sworn in as American citizens recite the Lord's Prayer alongside the Pledge of Allegiance.
"America was founded as a Christian country, so it's only right that we recognize the Lord during this ceremony," said Bakker on his television show. "Also, this is a way of screening out Sharia-worshipping Muslims."
However, the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. Bakker also believes that Trump was ordained by God and hopes he will hasten the return of Jesus Christ.
Bakker isn't the only Christian who believes that America should prevent Muslim immigration.
According to Right Wing Watch, Sam Rohrer of the American Pastors Network thinks we should be "pointing them (new immigrants) to the God of Heaven."
"Now we have millions of people," said Rohrer, "who are here for the wrong reasons, been invited in by people with wrong motives and now we have a people here, large numbers of them who have no respect for our God, they serve primarily the god of Allah and they embrace Sharia law.
Rohrer fails to realize that Allah means "God" in Arabic and Islam is one of the world's three Abrahamic religions.

So I've gone more "all out" for today's superbowl than I have in several years.
First off, I watched the Kitty Half Time and encourage you to as well!
I also got in the kitchen to prepare some goodies for the party we're going to later. I made Cookie Dough Truffles and am making Buffalo Chicken Dip later on.
I am headed out to the gym for an easy workout (and to figure out how their stationary bikes work before my Indoor Triathlon next Saturday!) and then will be heading over to the CH3 Hash House Harriers for their superbowl watching party.
Enjoy! Go Ravens!

Another great export from Deutschland! Check out actor Torben Liebrecht in the German mini series 'Morgen Hör Ich Auf' after the NSFW jump!
So sexy!
Now that's a real MAN!!!!!! If he were to do that scene here in the states they would have shaved that incredibly beautiful chest of fur and his awesome butt. That would have been a felony in my book and someone would be carted off to jail ASAP.
