Obama Responsible For Bain Layoffs
by Big Dog on Jul 18, 2012 at 16:06 Political
GST Steele in Kansas City was a company that Bain got involved with and the company eventually went bankrupt. The Obama campaign put out a video in May with a number of former workers discussing the plant closing and they all blamed Mitt Romney for the demise of the company.
Romney left Bain two years before the takeover and closure of the plant. That is undeniable, and it is only disputed by the Obama campaign that is deliberately lying in order to win.
Be that as it may, the ad is misleading and it is obvious that the workers involved are saying what they were told to say. There is no doubt that Bain was involved. They end up lying when they claim Romney was involved in the decisions made.
How does Obama fit into this and why is he responsible? Mitt Romney was not running Bain when this happened a guy named Jonathan Lavine was.
Who is Jonathan Lavine? He is one of Barack Obama's TOP campaign bundlers. From ABC:
…One of Obama's top campaign financiers – Jonathan Lavine – is also managing director at Bain, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, according to estimates released by the Obama campaign. The president has also relied on other leading figures in the private equity sector as hosts for high-dollar fundraisers and as members of his Jobs Council. Gateway Pundit
Wow, an Obama supporter and TOP bundler is the guy who was actually responsible for the demise of GST Steel. Therefore, Obama is responsible.
It has to be so. If Obama can claim that Romney is responsible when he was not in charge and not there then we can certainly make the claim that since an Obama TOP bundler was actually in charge that Barack Obama is responsible.
There is another interesting part of the video that probably goes unnoticed.
The workers claim that Bain came into the company and ran up huge amounts of debt for short term profit but that long term it led to disaster. This is basically what they claim happened and they say it was a bad thing to do (I agree with that part).
Spend a lot of money you don't have for a short term gain only to incur a lot of future debt that causes huge financial problems.
Sounds like Obama's Stimulus Plan. In fact, it sounds like the way Democrats run everything. They spend huge sums of money we do not have to get short term gain (usually in support from constituents) which leads to long term financial disaster.
Yet, these people in the video seem to think that Obama is the answer because Romney does not understand the little guy.
Once again, Romney was NOT involved.
Even so, Obama is doing to the country what Jonathan Lavine and Bain did to GST Steel, period.
I guess in the liberal mind Romney is bad for bankrupting a company but Obama is righteous for bankrupting the nation.
Let us not forget that to get to this conclusion they had to invent Romney's involvement.
Romney was NOT there. The fact checkers have reviewed the documents; the SEC has accepted the documents without initiating any legal action and Bain has confirmed that Romney was not there.
So we know Romney did not really do this. Obama did through his TOP bundler.
We also know that Obama was at the helm during the downfall of the country. There is no doubt about that.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

营养不良会导致免疫系统下降, 新陈代谢缓慢, 衍生出种种的问题。 从容易疲倦,精神紧张, 健忘,身体发痒,畏寒到肥胖, 皮肤病, 伤风感冒, 便秘,频尿,头痛等等,以至到种种严重的疾病,皆因饮食不均,营养不良,身体无法正常操作把体内囤积的毒素排出体外而引起! 所以营养均衡这一课题实不容忽略
Imbalance diet and malnutrition is a norm in this modern era; but minority knows its effect and seriousness!
Malnutrition weaken immune system and lower metabolism rate leading to many health related problems. From fatigue, stressfulness, forgetfulness, skin itchiness, to obese, skin irritation, cough and cold, constipation, frequent urination, habitual headache and etc, to development of more serious diseases. Root cause of all these problems are originated from imbalance diet, malnutrition causing acidity and toxic accumulations in our body.
中医说五色调五脏六腑 Chinese nutritional medicine says the below five colours helps the internal five organs:
红-心肝 Red- heart
靑-肝 Green-liver
白-肺 White- lungs
黑-肾 Black- kidney
黄-脾胃 Yellow- Spleen and Stomach
有机胚芽营养餐里面就包括了以上所说的五种颜色的谷类与蔬菜!最有特色的是在于有五种谷类种子和豆类的种子经过发芽, 即胚芽;那是植物营养最精华的部分! 食用胚芽比原豆的好处在与营养高几倍,植酸低,营养容易吸收。不易引起尿酸及腹胀。增强体内抗生素,抗病毒。
谷类,种子或坚果在发芽前含一种酶抑制剂来保护种子的营养价值,因此在吃不发芽的种子时,此酶抑制剂会与人体的消化酶抗衡, 防止人体去消化为未发芽的种子。 可是当种子发芽,成为胚芽;种子的酶抑制剂会停止,让种子可以萌生发芽,新的和更高质量的蛋白质和其他营养物质会在这时候产生,让人体更能完全消化及吸收发芽后种子的营养。
Multi-Sprouts Nutri Meals has got the above mentioned five colours of seeds, beans and vegetables. The most special part is the 5 types of sprouted seeds and beans, i.e. Germs; is the source of life and a cream of the crop as far as nutrition is concerned. Germs are better beans because it has got multiplying nutritional value, low plant acid, nutrients are more readily absorbed, unlikely to lead to high urine acid and bloating and increase antibodies in the body to combat viruses.
Before the grains, seeds or nuts germinate, they will undergo a 'hybernating' stage where a kind of enzyme inhibitor will be used to protect the nutritional value of the seeds. Therefore, when ungerminated seeds are consumed, these enzyme inhibitors will prevent the digestive enzymes in our body from digesting the seeds completely. On the other hand, when a seed germinates and becomes germs; its enzyme inhibitor will stop taking action, enabling the shoots to grow. At this stage, a new protein and other nutrients of higher quality will be produced so that our body can totally assimilate and absorb the nutritional goodness of the germinated seeds.

When I became a mother, I learned how to predict the future, but only 10 seconds ahead of time. It's a gift most moms have and one that really comes in handy while raising children. I could see my son running on the sidewalk and would get an instant picture of him tripping, falling, and landing face first into the cement. Sometimes I could get to him in time; sometimes, I just headed for the first aid kit. When he was a pre-teen, I used my special gift to tell him to stop doing something before he even started doing it. His eyes would grow big in amazement as he wondered how I always knew what he was about to do.
I mention this because on Sunday's front page of the Metro section there was a picture of a chihuahua attached to several helium balloons, floating, apparently, above the Pooch Parade route. I immediately turned on my 10-second clock. I saw a big gust of wind sweeping the little dog away and him floating into a tiny dot into the sky. I saw balloons suddenly popping, one right after the other because of their proximity to each other, frightening the dog and returning him to earth quickly or at the very least, tipping him off balance so that now he was floating sideways. I saw his little feet paddling the air, as he tried to propel himself back to the ground. I saw him needing to relieve himself and leaving someone below with a different kind of bad hair day. Only the last premonition made me smile, the rest scared me to death.
Apparently the pet owner was thinking that their dog was a float in the Thanksgiving Day parade and that it would be cute to dress him or her up and attach some giant helium balloons to the harness to give the dog a bird's eye view. But I have seen that parade and gusts of wind can cause serious accidents to giant floating animated characters. I don't know if the dog was scared or not, but most animals do not like for their feet to leave the ground.
I am sure I would have been called a party pooper for saying something, but I would have had to say something to the owners of the floating chihuahua. Whose entertainment is this for? Certainly not the dog who would have preferred, I am sure, to have been carried or pushed in a stroller along the parade route.

Statements from both Quirky and Wink stress that the the bankruptcy will not impact Wink's customers or its relationship with The Home Depot and Amazon.
While the show will go on at Wink, the bankruptcy is a hard knock for three groups.
First, the bankruptcy underlines potential problems with the broader Internet of Things. One of the biggest risks critics cite is hardware losing support and becoming vulnerable or non-functional if a company goes out of business. It's as much an issue of the actual hardware as it is a perception issue for existing and future IoT companies.
The Quirky bankruptcy is also a hit for the maker movement that was looking to the ideas marketplace as a potential way to monetize the hacks, gizmos, and gadgets that are proliferating as hardware becomes cheaper.
Finally, Quirky's fall from grace is a knock for investors who'd touted the company and invested significant dollars into it. Quirky had raised over $185 million in venture funding from leading venture firms in Silicon Valley and New York like Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Norwest Venture Partners, General Electric and RRE Ventures; and was considered to be one of the luminaries of the burgeoning New York City startup scene.

If there's a lesson to be learned from Bob Barker, it is simply that it's never too late to begin a new more meaningful, chapter in one's life. He was nearly 60 years old when he became an animal activist and champion. And what a difference he has made in lives of hundreds of thousands of animals and human beings in the years since. And while we don't all have the same financial resources as Barker, we do have time and, perhaps, we should set aside more of it to help improve the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves. He is truly inspirational.

Reuel Marc Gerecht's article on Egypt's "Great Collision," between left-liberal secularists and reactionary Islamists, is fascinating, and it merits a longer discussion. It's a serious, no-holds-barred critique of Egypt's Muslim liberals and their allies in the U.S., and a condemnation of what he describes as the "rationalization" of the Egyptian coup that removed Mohamed Morsi from power. The following is a brief excerpt that should hopefully give you some sense of the argument. But if you have any interest in Egypt, and indeed if you are inclined to disagree with Gerecht's interpretation of the Egyptian political scene, you must read the article:
Creating a modern economy in Egypt will hinge on devout Muslims buying into the project; they, not the super-rich businessmen of the Mubarak era, and certainly not the deeply socialist secular youth who look upon the government as the employer of first resort, are the key, as in Turkey, to unleashing Egypt's economic potential. The coup has made that buy-in much more difficult; it may retard the development of large-scale private enterprise among religious Muslims.
And there is little reason to be optimistic about Egypt's secularists. We don't even know whether they believe in political pluralism; they obviously are not firmly attached to the ballot box. Given the concatenation of forces in the anti-Morsi demonstrations, it's perhaps best to think of the movement they formed as a mix of the meanings of the word they took as their name: tamarrod. Beyond "rebellion" there's "refractoriness," "disobedience," and "insubordination." What the scholar Olivier Roy has seen among the Islamists is triply true for the secular crowd: An inchoate but powerful individualism has taken hold. Rebellion against authority and the status quo, moreover, can be addictive, but isn't likely to lead to personal tolerance and civil manners, let alone a coherent political philosophy, without which parties cannot form. Judging by the glee with which many within the rebellion have greeted the military crackdown on the Brotherhood, it's doubtful that the Tamarrod would ever again agree to allow the Islamists, or even just the religious, a decisive hand in writing a constitution.
For the secularists, political pluralism appears to mean that their views must be dominant regardless of any vote. Where once secular liberals lined up, however reluctantly, behind the kings and presidents-for-life, they now line up, more enthusiastically, behind "limited" democracy, whose possibilities are circumscribed by the military, since only the military can check the reemergence of an Islamist majority. Egyptian liberals don't want to see it that way, of course. They are convinced, as are some of their Western supporters, that after the massive protests on June 30 (engineered by the military, the Tamarrod's leaders, and the business elite), a majority of Egyptian Muslims became part of a durable secular coalition. Twelve months of Morsi's "tyranny" and economic incompetence (probably also engineered in part by the military and the business elite) have supposedly transformed the politics of the voters who gave fundamentalists some 70 percent of the seats in parliament in 2012.

Origi goal merely exposes Belgium's weakness
Divock Origi was the toast of Belgium after shooting the country into the World Cup second round on Sunday, but his 88th-minute winner against Russia could not disguise a lack of firepower that looks set to limit their tournament prospects.india Updated: Jun 23, 2014 03:14 IST
Divock Origi was the toast of Belgium after shooting the country into the World Cup second round on Sunday, but his 88th-minute winner against Russia could not disguise a lack of firepower that looks set to limit their tournament prospects.
The 19-year-old, who was an uncapped surprise inclusion in Marc Wilmots' squad, came on as a 57th-minute replacement for Romelu Lukaku and secured the 1-0 victory two minutes from time with a clean finish from Eden Hazard's cutback.
A first goal for Belgium was obviously a great moment for Origi, who impressed Wilmots with his pace and movement for Lille this season, but with only five club goals in his first full season of senior football and just a few minutes of international experience under his belt, he looks ill-equipped to lead a one-man strike force through the finals.
Belgium's impressive qualifying campaign helped see them installed as fifth favourites to win the World Cup, although their prospects were dealt a severe blow when regular front man Christian Benteke ruptured an Achilles tendon in April, ruling him out of the tournament.
Lukaku became the automatic replacement but he is a different type of player and the sharpness and anticipation that made him look so dangerous for Everton in the English Premier League last season seems to disappear when he is called upon to lead the line internationally.
Lukaku was ineffective in Belgium's opening win over Algeria and replaced by Origi just before the hour, and the same thing happened on Sunday.
Lukaku looked very unimpressed with the decision and seemed to be letting Wilmots know it but he could have few complaints after another sluggish display marked by some poor first touches.
He must have felt somewhat embarrassed when his replacement combined well with Hazard to thump in the key goal and Wilmots was certainly pleased with the substitute.
"He's in a good space right now, he's 19 years old," said the coach after the win that took his side to six points at the top of Group H.
"It was a bit of a surprise since he was an unknown before I selected him. Now everyone knows who he is."
That is hardly going to help Origi but other than his goal, he showed little that is likely to strike fear into the heart of tournament defences further down the line.
Belgium look likely to top the group and might find themselves playing the United States, Ghana or Portugal for a place in the quarter-finals.
They certainly have enough midfield quality to create chances against those sides, with Hazard, Dries Mertens, Kevin De Bruyne and Kevin Mirallas, all looking sharp on Sunday.
Hazard, however, was visibly frustrated that his build-up work had no end-product and the lack of a dominant forward was perhaps behind many of the players' decisions to pepper relatively tame long shots at Igor Akinfeev's goal rather than keep trying to work an opening.
Perhaps the goal will give Origi the confidence to step up a level, and also persuade Wilmots to start him in the final group game against South Korea on Thursday.
But even if he sparkles in that game, it is hard to see him, Lukaku or Belgium really troubling the game's superpowers in the latter stages.

For the past 13 years, Tom Hausmann has been playing an active role in keeping area children on the straight and narrow.
Hausmann, a Washington native, has served as chair of the Washington Elks Lodge 1559 drug awareness program since 1995.
The program culminates annually during Red Ribbon Week, held Oct. 24-31 this year.
"We go into the schools and talk to kids about not doing drugs," Hausmann said. "It was tough to get started. We got some of the ideas from a similar program at Beaufort Elementary."
Hausmann said the in-school programs are designed to introduce students to people in the community who can have a positive influence on their lives — fire, ambulance and police chiefs and local elected officials — as well as educate.
The drug awareness program also includes an annual poster and essay contest.
Hausmann said he helped get the essay contest started in Missouri and has been involved in it for the past six years.
He said he works with local law enforcement to approach children at a younger age.
"When we started this, D.A.R.E. officers were only able to get to the high schools and junior highs," Hausmann said.
Hausmann's decision to chair the program came naturally, he said.
A past exalted ruler and son of one of the lodge's charter members, Hausmann has been an Elk for 45 years.
Following his retirement from Chrysler after 30 years, he wanted to give back to the community he called home.
"It's about the people who are involved. They're good, friendly people. They pat you on the back and are proud of what we do," Hausmann said of the Elks.
"When they found out I retired, they asked if I'd take a chair," he said. That turned into other volunteer opportunities, such as working at fundraiser fish and chicken fries.
By volunteering, Hausmann said he is helping out where younger members can't.
"When I was an exalted ruler, I don't think there was anyone involved under age 50," he said. "That has turned around. (The lodge) is being taken over by the younger crowd, and that is great."
Hausmann was exalted ruler of the lodge from 1999-2000.
He has remained focused on the drug awareness program as a way both to help the community and to help future Elks, he said.
The program, and Hausmann's work, benefits children the most.
"I had a counselor tell me this year that every year, after we do these programs (during Red Ribbon Week), she has at least one student come in and tell them their parents are on drugs," he said.
"But if I can keep one kid off drugs, I've done my job," Hausmann said. "I know I've affected many children.
"I had been a member for all those years, and I thought it was about time to give something back. That's when I thought well, I'm just going to do it through the Elks," he said.
In his retirement, he spends a lot of time working with the Elks as well as with his family, including two daughters and several grandchildren.
Later this month, Hausmann said the drug awareness essay and poster entries will be judged.
After that, it will be on to planning for an annual drug and safety event for the summer.
The event is going on its third year. It was held this past year at the Washington JCPenney parking lot.
Local police, fire and ambulance personnel are on hand at the event to meet with children and families.
The event's just another way Hausmann is involved with helping the place he calls home.
"It's ongoing, all the time," he said.

Recommendation: Recommend with Reservation
ESLTeaching Ideas is a comprehensive web site that gives classroom ideas to teachers of all levels to be applied in a multitude of situations. The web site has links for grammar ideas, number games, and role playing ideas, just to give a few examples. The site is aimed at teachers and includes links to other blogs and English language learning web sites. The main headings for the web site are ESL Teaching ideas, ESL Games, ESL Conversation Ideas, ESL Music Ideas, ESL Grammar Ideas, ESL Logic Problems, ESL Book Reviews, ESL Web sites, and ESL Blogs. Under those headings are a total of 65 collective subheadings, not including 8 advertisements geared towards ESL learners and educators. The blog is updated a few times a month on average, the last post being made on February 5, 2011. There is a counter on the bottom of the home page that allows you to view older posts by year.
I really loved this web site. Even though the posts are not updated that often, the information on the site offers contemporary ideas, like vocabulary related to pop culture, and how to turn game shows into ESL games. It also gives a new spin on classic teaching exercises like role-playing. I would recommend the web site with reservation, only because it is a blog and does not necessarily offer tangible teaching materials. It is a doorway to ideas. I believe those ideas to be all inclusive, and ESL Ideas even has a music section, which is my favorite teaching tool.
Subject Headings: ESL blogs, games, grammar, ESL, teaching, ideas

Black Knight in Red Square
The Moscow Film Festival may lack Cannes' boats, bikinis, and gentle breezes, but it has nevertheless attracted scores of international movie folks. For some, the festival represents Moscow's re-emergence as a world-class city. But for a gang of zealots headed by a beautiful brunette, the festival represents a target, and they have been attacking the "film people" with frightening efficiency.
Desperate to avoid embarrassment, the Kremlin is trying to cover up the killings. And desperate to stop the killers, the KGB has put Inspector Rostnikov on the case. With his Jewish wife and his suspect taste for American crime novels, Rostnikov is hardly the KGB's favorite cop. But he's their best hope to catch the woman with brown hair, complicated motives, and a really big bomb.

You can find me on LiveJournal and Dreamwidth. I've been posting more frequently off-site, so if you wish to read more of my works, these two places should have everything.
I also have a Tumblr.
Pairings: I have become a lover of rare and odd pairings. Bittersweet Alias is a wonderful author with some brilliantly done rare pairings that I suggest you all check out. Kamerreon is another brilliant writer who has many rare and very exciting pairings to read. Her One Shots are pure genius too. Unfortunately, she's now a published author and her FF's are no longer on the net.
excentrykemuse is also another brilliant author I can't help but promote. Her stories are just as exotic and rare.
On the note of Cen, she is an absolutely brilliant author who deserves so much more. Her fics are so brilliant that you really get pulled into the world she writes and fall in love with her character.

Eating Habits are Hard to Break
Friday, April 06, 2012
I grew up on a farm in Arkansas where my family grew their own vegetables and butchered their own meat. Chicken, beef, pork, rabbit, we butchered and ate it. My mother, God rest her soul, would put pork lard in everything she made us for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She would fry eggs in pork fat, she would put several tablespoons of pork lard into the veggies as she boiled them on the stove, "to add flavor" she said. I can remember that if I didn't want to eat anything my mom made for any of the meals, I would get a big piece of cake. Morning, noon and night, if I wanted cake I would get it. Yea, I was spoiled. Looking back on my life, and what I ate then, I'm surprised I didn't have a weight problem as a child. But, I was alot more active then. Helping around the farm, walking a couple of blocks to a friends house or even walking to the local cemetary which was a little over a mile from where we lived, and all this was a daily habit.
I got out of putting lard in my foods when I moved in with my husband. My weight problem didn't start until I got pregnant the first time and my metabolism went down the toilet and I never got it back. I gained 80 pounds with my first pregnancy. Four months later, I was told I was pregnant again, I still haven't lost any weight from the first one so the doctor put me on a strict diet and activity plan which I followed to the letter. Still I gained weight, by the time my third child was born, I weighed 300 pounds. :( I even went as far as taking ballet classes in college when my children were little. Can you imagine a 300 pound woman taking ballet? But I really didn't feel all that bad. Besides the instructor, who looked like she had a major eating disorder and was stick thin, I was actually the skinniest woman in class.
I still try to do alot of the excercises we did in that class and I'm eating alot healthier now. Instead of putting tablespoons of sugar in my cereal I now put fresh fruit instead, and realized that I like the natural sweetness of the fruit over the taste of sugar. I still have a weight problem, but I'm not letting it get me down, I'm not depressed or ashamed of who I am. This is a fixable problem. It's going to be a long, hard road but I know in my heart I can do it. I have to push past the pain in my knees and keep saying to myself "once I lose the weight they won't hurt as bad."

You are right. Even scientists who study habit change rate changing food habits in the top three problem areas, right up there with serious drugs.
However, we often go about it the wrong way, so it backfires over and over.
I think you are on the right track. So what if it takes a few years? The time will pass anyway, and the habits will get stronger if you take them a few at at time and get them ingrained. You will have a long life to enjoy the benefits and are even enjoying them as you go.
My first real mentor here at Spark was a woman who lost over 150 pounds but she did it over a period of years in stages. I admire that so much. I think she's holding at about 20 lbs. above her lowest weight. She'd like to be thinner, but she is so much better off than she was!
When I had my turnaround, I saw that I needed to think in terms of a year or two of effort at a time rather than having it all figured out in a few weeks. That has failed 97% of the time for 60 years of research and 38 years of my own life. I"m here for the duration. It sounds like you are, too.

Rainbow Logic
Date: 13 Jan 1995 12:15:47 -0500 From: Cathy Brady Subject: combinations problem In the Family Math book, there is an activity called Rainbow Logic. It's like battleship in that one player sets up a matrix and the other player(s) have to match their matrices by asking questions. The matrix, if it's 3x3, has three pieces of each color which can be put on the board in any position, just so long as each square shares a border with a square with the same color. The players ask "What colors are in column one? (or row three, or column three...)" and the person who is it tells them the color(s) but not in any order. The game can also be played with a 2x2 grid (with 2 colors) or a 4x4 grid (with 4 colors). By drawing the grids, I found that the number of possible layouts for 2x2 is 4, and the number of possible for 3x3 is 72, and for 4x4 - well, I got tired of drawing, but it's over 250. So my question is: Is there a formula for the number of layouts for an nxn grid with n colors where each color is connected by at least one border? Cathy Brady
Date: 17 Jan 1995 00:42:38 GMT From: Dr. Math Subject: Re: combinations problem Hello there! I've got to ask you a question about this before I dive in: when you say each color is connected by at least one border, what exactly does that mean? Does that mean that each region of the same color must be connected? We await your reply.
Date: 16 Jan 1995 19:48:53 -0500 From: Cathy Brady Subject: Re: combinations problem YES
Date: 17 Jan 1995 02:34:53 GMT From: Dr. Math Subject: Re: combinations problem Okay, we've been doing some thinking. We think we've tackled the 4x4 question, and we've come up with a little on the general formula. It looks like finding a closed form general formula might get kind of hairy. Also, we've come up with something different than you got for the 3x3 case. Anyway, the first thing we (fellow Math Doctor Ethan Magness and I) did was to eliminate all the different rotations and color changes, and call them all essentially the same pattern. Once you figure out what the "fundamental" patterns are, you can rotate them four different ways, and then choose the colors two different ways. In general, with an nxn array, you'll always figure out how many different fundamental layouts there will be, and then you'll rotate it four ways and choose the colors n! (which means n(n-1)(n-2)...(2)(1)) ways. So if there are f different fundamental arrays, there are 4fn! total different layouts for your final answer. But there's a complication, because sometimes you'll end up duplicating a pattern by rotating it. For instance, in the 2x2 case, there's only one fundamental array you can make, one that has one color on the top row and the other color on the bottom row. When you rotate this array though, you'll see that rotating it 180 degrees will produce the same array as not rotating it at all. So we've got to get rid of half of these, so we say that there are .5 different fundamental layouts, and then we multiply by 4n!, i.e. 8, and we end up with your answer, 4. In the 3x3 case, we can have three different fundamental layouts. However, if you look at the one that has three straight pieces arranged in columns, you'll notice that again, rotating it 180 degrees has the same effect as not rotating it at all. So really, we'll say we have 2.5 different fundamental arrays, and that the total is 2.5 x 4 x 6 = 60 different layouts. We did this for the 4x4 case too, and we found that there were 28.25 different fundamental arrays you could have (we simplified the process a little by noticing that some of the arrangements were just reflections of each other, and by first looking at arrangements that contained a long four-in-a-row piece across the top). So we found that you would have 28.25 x 4 x 24 = 2712 different total arrangements. Anyway, this is as far as we've gotten, and getting much farther would probably require a lot more insight than we've gotten so far. But it's a pretty cool question, and I encourage you to keep thinking about it! If you find anything else interesting about it, let us know! -Ken "Dr." Math

I've always wanted to hop on board this 'Wedding Wednesday' blogger trend, but I never felt 'legit' enough. You know, since I'd never had a wedding. Obviously, I'm an expert now (false), but I would love to be able to share some of the time and money savers I found along the way while planning our wedding.
I've always been a big fan of antique malls, even though spending more than 20 minutes in one will send me into a crazed allergic reaction. Totally unfortunate, I know. One Saturday, my mom and I were on a quest for lace curtains (different project for another post), and we came upon an outdoor antique mall… That was overrun by cats. This would have been nice to know ahead of time because I probably would have taken a Benadryl or not gone to it at all. Now looking back, I'm glad we didn't know this cause we did find some some golden treasures…
Just kidding… Those are horrific, and I apologize if they give you nightmares tonight. But my mom & I did stumble upon an awesome framed canvas. Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the lovely painting (I know, crazy), but it was perfect for a Pinterest project that wanted to do for the wedding. So I bought this framed painting for $4 and totally revamped with a little bit of white paint & chalkboard spray paint.
Looking back now, I wish I had sanded down the canvas before painting it with the chalkboard paint because it had originally been painted with lots of varying textures. I'm sure there's a much more official artist term for this kind of paint. There's a few places on the canvas that are pretty difficult to write on with chalk, but it still worked. Here's the final product:

If there would have been a little more money in the budget, I probably would have hired a calligrapher to write out the timeline, but for a $8 project, I'd say it turned out great… And it was a great way to show guests our story, without them having to read or listen to an entire novel. :)
One of the best things about my wedding projects is that most of them have been able to find a home in our little apartment of love. Now, our chalkboard is displayed as one of the first things you see when you walk in… And it's so easy to change it week to week!
Projects like these are what made wedding planning bearable… Especially when you had such a cute assistant like this! :)

UAlbany plans RNA lab
Institute designed to be national research site for drug, diagnostic uses
Published 1:00 am, Friday, June 4, 2010
ALBANY -- Aiming to be the research epicenter for a new generation of drug treatments, the University at Albany will unveil today a one-of-a-kind laboratory dedicated to the study of RNA, a molecule that has immense control over bodily functions.
The RNA Institute will be located at UAlbany's Life Sciences building and will be the headquarters of a collaboration among 35 researchers including scientists at the university, the New York State Wadsworth Center and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
"The mission of this institute is to be a national research resource for RNA science and its application in drug discovery and diagnostics," said Paul F. Agris, a biochemist who was recruited from North Carolina State University to lead the center.
It is only in the past 10 years that scientists have realized the importance of ribonucleic acid. Three Nobel Prizes for RNA research have been awarded in the past four years and pharmaceutical companies are beginning to funnel money into RNA-based drug research. Scientists have discovered that RNA, once thought to only manufacture proteins, does much more.
"It is also a very important control of what proteins get made and how much of them get made," Agris said.
Putting it into words people can understand, Agris explained the biological function of RNA and its more well-known cousin DNA. DNA carries the blueprint of our genetic code, but just like an architect's blueprint for a house, you need a contractor to direct the construction and heavy equipment to build the structure. That's where RNA comes in. RNA is the machinery that creates proteins, and it also manages those proteins -- deciding how many get produced and telling them when to turn on and off.
Proteins are the worker bees of the body. They help grow and maintain our cells, they are responsible for many of the chemical reactions in our bodies including digestion and they are an integral part of hormones that regulate our bodies.
For decades, drug therapies have targeted proteins, but with the revelation about the role of RNA, researchers are now trying to develop drugs that act on RNA. The strategy essentially moves drug therapy "upstream" in the biological process, treating the disease-bearing RNA before it produces thousands of faulty proteins.
The method holds promise for complex diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS and cancer.
Unlike other research coalitions that investigate RNA, Agris said The RNA Institute is unique because it will have a physical laboratory outfitted with advanced equipment needed for RNA experiments.
UAlbany is jump-starting the lab with a $12 million investment. Much of the research is expected to be funded by grants awarded to the scientists. More than 200 researchers, technicians and support staff are involved in the collaboration and 60 of them will work at the UAlbany site.
The idea for the institute bubbled up from the faculty at UAlbany and other RNA researchers in the Capital Region and has been in the works for four years, Agris said.
Agris had proposed a similar concept at his former university in North Carolina but the idea was rejected. He said he jumped at the chance to direct the Albany project.
"There's nothing like it in the world," he said.

Hiya, im trying to decide on what class to level as a PVP alt: Frost Mage or Sub Rogue. I have looked at the talents and abilities of each class and i love the look of both. Thing is, i hear that Rogues are quite difficult to play and extremely hard to master, and as Im a casual player i would not be able to invest much time in it, while Frost Mages i hear are downright easy.
So basically, are Rogues easy enough to have fun in BGs and LOW RATED Arena (like i said, im a casual player) and to win a few duels and such? Or am i better off rolling a frost mage?

>that would have been less controversial might have run as follows: > the sense of the TAG is that we are not convinced by the XHTML > critique of the implications of XLink, and wanted to get our > tentative conclusion that HLink was the wrong way to go on the > record" Couldn't have said it better myself :-) So, assuming that this is/was the TAG's intention, how do we move forward to resolve the technical issues dividing the XHTML and XLink representatives? I don't recall seeing an analysis by a TAG member of what they don't like about HLink, other than that it is not XLink (a Recommendation). http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2002Sep/0126.html rasies a number of questions, some of which (mostly editorial or procedural) were answered. My impression from the (unpublished) IRC log is that the TAG had stronger objections than they have explained in public. Maybe they should explain. I *hope* it's not just the smell of SGML architectural forms that is the technical objection. So, I'm curious: Given that the objective is to have ONE XML linking spec rather than XLink + HLink, and given that there are many objections (some perhaps based on extra-technical factors, I don't know), and given that the AC vote on XLink suggested that the issues be revisited by a newly chartered WG, is that a possible way forward? Accept that for good reasons or bad, XLink 1.0 is not a suitable basis for XHTML 2.0, but perhaps XLink 2.0 could be? Accept that HLink is not acceptable in its current form, but perhaps some refactoring of XLink and HLink into XLink 2.0 could give us the best of both worlds? In my humble and personal opinion, given that the world has not rushed to implement XLink nor is it clamoring for XHTML 2, there's time to step back, reconsider all assumptions, and maybe get both right next time.Received on Thursday, 26 September 2002 15:00:52 UTC

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"An early look at Strahd"
Any fan of the Ravenloft setting should experience this book, it gives a unique insight into the personality of Count Strahd, especially in regards to how he reacts under pressure.
The character of Jander serves as a fasinating and likable protagonist, reacting either with grim humour or by rolling his eyes when confronted by the horrors of Barovia.
All around this story is a well written tale both from a grim as well as from a casually humorous standpoint, something not easily done.
Brilliant work to be sure.
"Great story"
Always loved this story.Hearing it told again really paints the world of Ravenloft in vivid detail
"a beginning of the story"
the narrator does his best to change voices for the characters... but it's not necessary. this book was recommended by a friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the tale, ready for book 2!
"The Journey"
I personally enjoyed the "long game" theme the author wrote for the main character; one with centuries yet still to live wouldn't feel an overwhelming drive for haste anyways, and I appreciate the illusion of authenticity this departed on me.
"A small glimpse of an expansive story setting."
I've read several of Christie Golden's newer works and her style has remained consistent for 25 years. The story itself is an interesting snapshot of a complex setting with a lot of interesting characters. It left me wanting to know more about the background of Ravenloft, Strahd, and the dozen other loose ended mysteries. It is good reading that ties into "the curse of strahd" 5e campaign book.

Children's Rights Advocacy Officea participatory approach to promoting children's rights
Children are among Cambodia's most vulnerable groups, facing a wide range of threats to their safety and livelihood. Healthcare is poor and infant mortality rates are high. Literacy levels remain low and access to education is limited. Children are also subjected to violence and exploitation, such as sexual abuse and trafficking.
Poverty also remains a major obstacle to child development in Cambodia, particularly in the provinces, where poor families may have to choose between sending their children to school or putting food on the table. Many children are sent to work at a young age. At best, they might find their way in a trade and miss out on the chance of an education and a better life. At worst, they might find themselves trafficked to a foreign country and sold into virtual slavery, or physically maimed due to poor working conditions.
The Children's Rights Advocacy Office focuses on educating children – along with parents and local authorities – to make informed decisions about their lives. The centerpiece of this effort is LICADHO's network of Child Protection Groups (CPGs). For children and youths, CPGs are a way for children to come together, exercise their freedom of expression and to learn about their rights. For parent and authority-focused CPGs, the groups are a way to develop a capacity to protect children.
The groups also help build the foundation for a more just and democratic society in the future: The more that children know their rights, the more they will assert them and expect rule of law as adults.
What we do
- Educate children, youths, local authorities and other community members on child rights issues via regular training sessions
- Help communities form Child Protection Groups, which serve as a mechanism for communities to come together and learn about children's rights in a relaxed and enjoyable setting
- Conduct media campaigns on child labor issues using radio and TV programs, billboards and newspaper articles
- Work in partnership with other NGOs to publish research on child rights issues, including child labor in brick factories and the use of child labor by parents to pay off debt
- Help communities organize events such as concerts and marches to raise awareness of child rights issues

You will find all sorts of claims for carrot seed oil if you do a Google search for carrot seed oil. We're going to explore these claims and try to come to some kind of conclusion as to what is fact and what is pure folklore.
What is carrot seed essential oil?
Carrot seed essential oil is steam distilled from the wild carrot (Daucus Carota) seed, which is about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. This is not to be mistaken for carrot oil which comes from the domestic carrot or oils made from the leaves and stems of the wild carrot. Other names for this plant are: wild carrot, Queen Anne's lace, bishops lace, and bird's nest. It has a myriad of other names, but let's leave it at these most common aliases.
The oil color varies and may be yellow, amber or pale orange-brown. If the oil is orange, it's probably not made from the seed. Carrot seed oil has a sweet earthy aroma.
History of carrot seed oil
Carrots are thought to have originated in Afghanistan and western Asia. The use of carrots as a medicinal herb dates back as far as 702 B.C. The earliest recorded use of the carrot seed for medicinal purposes was written between c. 25 B.C. and c. 50 A.D. in the "De Medicina" by the Roman encyclopedist, Aulus Cornelius Celsus.
Steam distillation wouldn't have taken place during this period since it wasn't invented until around 200A.D. so the oils would probably have been pressed from the seeds.
Uses of carrot seed oil
- Antioxidant – strong scientific evidence
- Antiseptic, Anti Viral & Disinfectant – Weak evidence
- Detoxifying properties – Beta carotene and vitamin A may be the active ingredients
- Carcinogenic – Beta carotene found in the oil is likely the active ingredient in destroying certain types of cancer.
- Carminative – Carrot seed oil has been used to effectively relieve gas.
- Depurative – Rids the body of toxins
- Emmenagogue – The oil has been used to normalize menses.
- Diuretic – Increases urine production
- Cytophylactic – Protects cells by increasing leukocyte production
- Stimulant – Carrot seed oil supposedly stimulates almost all body functions including hormone production, brain activity and digestion.
- Tonic – Use here is to tone up body functions particularly smooth muscles, the liver and digestive tract. Based on animal studies, there is some evidence that carrot seed oil has properties that protect the liver.
- Vermifuge – If you get a good case of intestinal worms, this oil will supposedly rid you of them.
- Reduces blood pressure – Shown to be a vasodilator in animal studies
- Perfume – Carrot seed oil is a middle note essential oil used in perfume formulations. It blends well with a variety of other oils including grapefruit and other citrus oils. It also works well with Cyprus and other evergreen scents. Geranium, lavender, rosewood and frankincense also blend well with carrot seed oil.
- Skin care – Carrot seed oil revitalizes tones and heals. It's also used in anti wrinkle formulations and for dry skin.
- UV protectant – When carrot oil is mixed with other sunscreens, it enhances the effectiveness of the sunscreen and helps the user achieve a nice even tan.
Many of the uses for carrot seed oil are testimonial and historical based. Other than the few listed above and evidence of benefits to the skin, the jury is out on the effectiveness of this oil for the other uses.
The oil is quite safe to use on your skin in creams and lotions. It can also be made into a facial mask by blending with other ingredients. It works well when used with burners and vaporizers, massage and bath oils, creams and lotions.
If you choose to use this oil for internal use, it must be a pure pharmaceutical grade carrot seed oil. It is also advisable to work under the direction of a physician schooled in the use of alternative therapies as carrot seed oil can have adverse effects when excessive quantities are taken internally.
There, now you have the highlights of why carrot seed oil is revered. It's definitely an essential oil worthy of use by the goddesses reading these blog posts despite the fact that it's a bit spendy.
Now go have fun and relax.

Bob Horton: Mooring-fees mess latest symptom of harbor strife
Updated 11:43 pm, Thursday, September 6, 2012
This week we go On the Waterfront, Greenwich style.
One might hope that Greenwich style brings to mind sipping rum punches on the deck of a luxury yacht while watching the sunset over one of our seven harbors. But no, this is Town of Greenwich style, as in bring your utility bill if you want to play on the water.
Late last week the town sent a letter written but not signed by Town Administrator John Crary to about 900 people, all of whom at one time or another registered on the town's online mooring application system. The letter asked each recipient to provide paper copies of a completed mooring application, state boat registration, proof of three-year mooring inspection and liability insurance, and a $100 mooring application fee.
The trouble was, more than 400 people who received the letter had already paid the $100 and provided state-required information about boat size and mooring equipment weeks ago through their yacht clubs. Members of Belle Haven, Indian Harbor, Riverside, Old Greenwich, Rocky Point and Greenwich Boat and Yacht clubs were understandably confused or caught off guard when they read the letter. And boat owners who are not club members but who had also provided information online were puzzled that they were now being asked to provide back-up documentation, the proverbial utility bill to prove you are who you claim you are.
Many people spent hours trying to work through the confusion of the clumsily worded letter. Crary did not sign the letter, but did mention by name Ian MacMillan, the state harbor master for Greenwich, who ended up fielding many calls from confused mooring owners. One yacht club, Indian Harbor, felt compelled to send its members an email telling them essentially to ignore the town letter. Crary was about the only person involved in this mess whose holiday weekend was not disrupted.
The story behind the letter is the latest chapter in the ongoing saga of the town's Harbor Management Advisory Committee (HMAC) and its inability to work with MacMillan. And it is more evidence of the need for the town to adopt a workable Harbor Management Plan.
Though MacMillan is on the record as saying the town has no right to charge an annual mooring fee until it has adopted a plan for spending the money (it has to be spent on mooring or harbor-related uses), he agreed earlier this boating season to HMAC's request that he collect it. Then, HMAC started demanding that MacMillan require proof of mooring inspections and liability insurance from each boat owner as a condition for a permit. MacMillan said state law does not allow him to demand such conditions, and if the town wanted him to require them, the rules had to be part of a state-approved harbor management plan.
There has been much give and take over this issue between the parties involved, and when MacMillan was ready several weeks ago to send bills to collect the annual fee, he provided a form divided into sections: required information and requested information. Nowhere did he ask for proof of inspection by an approved marine contractor or proof that a boat owner carried at least $300,000 of liability insurance.
That's when Crary decided to write the letter that was eventually sent to boat owners. And that's when boat owners first learned that they needed to provide paper copies of this information. The letter shows the town's position quite clearly. The second sentence starts, "As you know you are required to have a valid permit from the Town of Greenwich to moor your vessel..." Except that the state issues the permit, not the town. The letter goes on to say a copy of rules and regulations regarding moorings is on the town website. I spent 30 minutes there and could find no mention of the insurance or inspection requirements.
Over the summer we have witnessed several Harbor Management Advisory Committee members calling for MacMillan's resignation. We have also seen Crary very publicly berate MacMillan for replacing a dead battery and having minor repairs made to the town-owned boat he uses to patrol town harbors without going through a purchasing process. And in just the last week or so, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection received an inquiry from an HMAC member questioning whether MacMillan had a permit for his own personal boat.
MacMillan moors a small houseboat in federal waters in Greenwich Harbor, specifically in Bush Cove just south of Roger Sherman Baldwin Park. Only the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers can issue mooring permits in federal waters, and it said Thursday that MacMillan has a valid USACE category two permit and has had for years.
This harassment of MacMillan is just childish, and Peter Tesei and his fellow selectmen could put a stop to it if they wanted to. Every HMAC meeting includes someone going off on MacMillan. Now they are calling state agencies on trumped-up suspicions that his boat is illegally moored, wasting not only their time, but also state employees' time. The selectmen's silence speaks volumes.
There is no doubt MacMillan is opinionated, and that he will not budge when he thinks he is being asked to violate state law. And he thinks the town needs a harbor management plan. He is right.

No one was surprised that Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's puzzling duet "Accidental Racist" ignited a firestorm of debate and ridicule, except maybe Paisley and LL themselves. The song is a strange back-and-forth where Paisley sings about wanting to rock the Confederate flag while grappling with the South's racist history, and LL raps "If you don't judge my gold chains/I'll forget the iron chains." Even aside from the regrettable lyrics, it's an uncomfortable musical mish-mash of country balladry and awkwardly shoehorned rapping.

LL Cool J: 'Accidental Racist' Is a 'Bold Statement'
Paisley and LL Cool J have both said they're standing by the song, but criticism – and a few rare nods of praise – are still making waves on the Internet.

The iPhone 4 is nearly at Verizon's door. Just a few more days and the pre-order will begin. As more details are being revealed about the iPhone at Verizon, one wonders if it is really a better deal than AT&T.
Verizon's iPhone4 will be available for $200 for 16GB or $300 for 32GB. AT&T's iPhone4 is available for $200 for 16GB and $300 for 32GB. Verizon will offer a personal hot spot for $20. AT&T offers Wi-Fi tethering for $20. Verizon will offer unlimited data for a limited time. AT&T has an unlimited plan for grandfathered customers, and a limited plan for everyone else. Verizon will follow suite. Seeing a pattern here? Verizon and AT&T are offering the same phone with the same pricing. So how do you choose your carrier?
Verizon is the largest US carrier. The size is partially due to the outdated CDMA network. It may be big, but it is not fast. Verizon does has some perks though. Rather than using hot spot access from your data plan, a separate 2GB is allocated for the feature. This will be helpful for conserving your data plan usage once the unlimited plan goes away. Verizon will have a lot less congestion on its network, so you probably won't experience the major crashes that AT&T customers suffered as the iPhone rapidly increased in popularity. It's not all roses at big red. Verizon can't currently offer a simultaneous connection to voice and data services. This is a big deal.
AT&T, is on the more advanced GSM network, as is T-Mobile and virtually the rest of the world. AT&T has the fastest service, when it is actually available. . AT&T offers simultaneous voice and data services. AT&T's huge coverage gaps are annoying, but recent upgrades have improved things, at least in the L.A. area. AT&T is even rumored to be offering unlimited data to those who opted out of the service last year. AT&T is trying to reduce the number of people jumping ship in February.
As you decide which carrier to go with, ask yourself a few questions. Do you want speed or reliability? The pricing is mostly identical. Do you want a fast network that is sometimes reliable, or a slow network that is typically reliable? Do you want to be able to check your email while talking on the phone, or not?
All of this might be moot, however, as Apple is expected to announce the next iPhone within the next couple of months. At the end of the day, the iPhone 4 is almost a year old. As much as I'd like to see a mass exodus from AT&T to benefit the rest of AT&T's customers, you may want to think twice about signing up for a two-year commitment this close to the next version's launch.

It's our pleasure to finally introduce our latest work, Forks in the Road: Recipes from Overlanding the Pan-American Highway. A cookbook that has been 25,000 miles in the making.
In the unfortunate event that we've never had the privilege of cooking you a meal, here are a few recipes from the book that should give you an idea what we're all about. Click to enlarge.
Every recipe in this book was discovered, adapted, cooked, written, revised and meticulously photographed somewhere between Tijuana, Mexico and Ushuaia, Argentina. The first recipes were written mere miles from The Death Road in Bolivia. In the following months they were photographed on the coast of Chile, edited on a cruise ship in Antarctica, formatted in a Uruguayan hotel, and finally submitted for publishing on a beach in Brazil.
Also inside you'll find:
While this book is written with overlanders in mind, home chefs will also find these recipes a worthy addition to their repertoire, especially avid campers and outdoor cooks.
Plus, we've written a chapter dedicated to cooking over fire, with detailed instructions on how to bake, braise, roast, smoke and steam over charcoal, and how to slow-roast an entire lamb or 25-pound rack of beef ribs over an open fire.
All recipes include advice for locating less common ingredients, whether at home or on the road. Substitutions and alternative preparation methods are given, and explanations of local dishes, ingredients and techniques are mentioned for Latin American recipes.
Still haven't seen enough? Ok, here are a few more pages of deliciousness. Don't blame us if you get caught licking your monitor.
We're offering both printed and electronic versions. Ebooks can be downloaded immediately, and printed books will ship from our home in Seattle. International shipping is available! You will be able to see shipping costs before you complete your purchase. We're sorry that the international rates are often ridiculous.

Undersea seismometer installed in Monterey Bay / Device to monitor earthquakes in active tectonic zone
Published 4:00 am, Saturday, April 13, 2002
Scientists have installed the first permanent seismic monitoring station on the sea floor, in an attempt to study earthquakes across a broad California zone where slabs of the Earth's crust are grinding and clashing.
This week, a remotely operated undersea craft dived to a spot 25 miles off the coast and 3,000 feet beneath the surface of Monterey Bay. There, it dug a hole 2 feet deep in an undersea plateau and placed a battery-powered seismometer.
The sensitive instrument will record even small earthquakes in the region where the vast Pacific Plate grinds ceaselessly against the North American Continental Plate.

This broad tectonic zone of fractured crust includes the area offshore from the San Gregorio Fault, which runs beneath the ocean, to the dangerous San Andreas zone just inland, and on east across the Hayward and Calaveras faults.
The monitoring project is led by geophysicist Barbara Romanowicz, director of the University of California's Berkeley Seismological Laboratory and geologist Debra Stakes of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
The new quake recording system sits underwater just west of the San Gregorio Fault, where for the first time it will enable scientists to monitor seismic activity across the entire 50-mile width of the area where the two tectonic plate boundaries meet, Romanowicz said.
The instrument may soon solve a puzzle about the nature of the lesser-known San Gregorio Fault.
But until now the fault's southern segment has long appeared quiescent, Stakes said. The new instrument may be able to show whether that section of the fault is in fact "locked," or whether it too is subject to frequent tremors.
A similar land-based seismometer is already in place on one of the Farallon Islands 30 miles west of San Francisco, and has shown that the northern segment of the San Gregorio is seismically active.
For the time being, the data from the new instrument are stored at the site and must be collected periodically by seagoing crews from Moss Landing. But eventually the scientists hope to connect the system to shore by a fiber optic cable.
The group is already planning a network of 20 similar instruments, creating an undersea seismic observatory all along the coast where earthquakes are poorly understood but potentially a recurrent hazard.

Rubbish worker finds $112,000 cash in trash
A worker at a waste disposal site in Japan found $112,000 cash in a stream of pulverised rubbish, police said.
"There were about a thousand 10,000 yen ($112) bills that came out of a pulveriser unscathed," said a spokesman at the Asaminami police department in Hiroshima prefecture.
He said there were also 2,300 fragments of bills destroyed by the machine at a municipal facility that processes bulk waste such as cupboards and mattresses that cannot be collected by regular garbage collection.
Police suspect the owner of the cash might have forgotten the money was there when they threw away some furniture.
"We believe it is unlikely there is anything criminal in this, although we must say we don't know much about this money at all," the spokesman said.
The cash was found on Monday. If no-one comes forward within three months, the waste disposal facility will have the right to claim the money, the spokesman said.
