Yep...He's been in office about one month....
February 14 2009 at 3:26 AM
Response to
"Give Obama a chance." some of his less critical supporters say. Do you?
Mike Rivero might not be as smart as he says he is. He lives in a dream world to say the least. I'm sure Obama would like to do things somewhat differently, but unfortunately, he's got to compromise to some extent. Bush tried to be a dictator
, but it still didn't work all the time for him.
In the one month Obama has been in office, he has changed a number of things, including undoing some of Bush's policies. Now, stopping wars and fixing the economy isn't something you can change with a wiggle of the nose.
Apparently Mike Rivero likes to rant and rave, but certainly hasn't come up with a detailed quick-fix plan of his own. Until he does, all I'm getting from him is a bunch of hot air. He's got to get his head out of the clouds and realize what it's like to put together an economic plan and still get the support from Congress.
However, I certainly don't completely agree with all of Obama's plans. If fact, I'm glad that he was overruled on the following:
"The stimulus package Congress passed last night imposes new limits on executive compensation that could significantly curb multimillion dollar pay packages on Wall Street and goes much further than restrictions proposed by the Obama administration last week."
Respond to this message
He's compromised allright. LOL!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
danawhitaker said...
I think the main point of the OP's post was "Don't burn bridges." This isn't a great time in the state of WoW to burn bridges with players who can raid on your schedule. I, too, would try and work things out with players in my guild before simply kicking them. Trade chat on my server is nothing but a sea of what were formerly the top raiding guilds practically begging for people to join and fill their raids. I wouldn't want to come to a crossroads where I'd burned my last bridges for viable raiders and couldn't raid at all.
I'm a guild leader, but I can also sympathize with feeling a lack of progression like Jon and Bob. Would it necessarily be a terrible idea to mix up the two raids and try to progress further (assuming of course that scheduling would permit that)? I'm sure they aren't the only people in the guild frustrated by the fact they aren't progressing. While my guild has always run one 10 man, and never reached the point of being fully viable to run a second 25 man, when we hit walls in ICC, it was incredibly frustrating. Perhaps the guild leader's complaints about wanting to quit are less about listening to the complaining and also at least partially about having hit a roadblock where there's no progression either. Perhaps they realize there's something to that complaint, and they don't really know how to address it either. In some ways, I'd be happy to deal with this - we're lucky now to have 6-7 players on at once on our raid nights, meaning we never have enough even for a guild group. We lost people to Rift and boredom with the game, even after adopting several of our former PUGs from the Wrath era whose guilds fell apart. If it weren't for them, we'd have exactly three people logging on during raid nights (or any night). We used to raid weekly during the last year and change of Wrath.
Recruiting new members isn't always the answer either, with guild level progression being what it is. Lots of people want the perks that come along with a Level 25 guild, and for smaller guilds, if you don't have those, they're going to pass you by. It may be the guild in question isn't in a position to compete with the benefits other guilds have to offer too. So again, that's more incentive to maybe work with the complainers, and see if there's a mutual resolution.

I did not know what to expect or what to do or how it was all supposed to play out and I admit, I was nervous as hell.
So what happened? It was a smashing success. Even with rain, drama on the road with an impromptu caravan and driving all over Texas to get people it was a success. Phew! Four years later and several more meets under our belt, TexasDevMeet has become a pretty successful group for meets. Yay!
What I encounter at almost every meet is someone asking me: So, what do we do? What happens at these things? What are we supposed to do?
The answer to all three is: Whatever you want.

Heading into 2014, Notre Dame must replace one of the most dominant defensive tackles in recent Irish history.
Louis Nix decided to forego his fifth year and enter the NFL, leaving a 340-pound hole in the middle of the defensive line that the Irish staff must fill.
To look at life without Nix, it's important to understand life before Nix. Shortly after Notre Dame fired Charlie Weis -- before Brian Kelly was hired -- Nix committed to the Irish and ended up being one of the highlights of an otherwise forgettable class. He was a solid prospect but did not carry the ranking of some of the other top D-linemen in the 2009 class.
To top it off, he entered his freshman year overweight and with a low motor. With these reports, Irish fans had to be disappointed, wondering if Nix would even see the field during his Notre Dame career. He redshirted his freshman year while his predecessor, Ian Williams, finished out a quality career. However, in the summer of 2011, Nix went to work developing into the dominant force with the high motor we all saw in 2012 and 2013.
Obviously it's difficult to judge what type of player a prospect will become, as evidenced by the Louis Nix story, but Notre Dame has several options when it comes to replacing him. The two true defensive tackles currently on the roster are sophomore Jarron Jones and junior Tony Springmann. Jones seems the likely starter at the tackle spot simply because he has more game experience, being called upon after Nix's final season was cut short due to his knee issues. Both are taller and leaner than Nix so while they may be able to play more athletically, neither will likely demand the standard double team that Nix did simply because of his size.
Similarly, incoming freshman Jay Hayes, Daniel Cage and Pete Mokwuah are all well under the size Nix was coming out of high school. If there is going to be one single player to step in and fill Nix's role, it will come from one of these players but replacing his production in 2014 might come from a schematic adjustment.
Rather than trying to replace Nix, it's likely that Notre Dame will employ more 4-3 looks instead of the 3-4 base they played with him in the middle. In fact, the starting lineup for their bowl game last season along the defensive line consisted of three defensive ends and a linebacker. New defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder has stated that he is not set on a particular scheme and would rather adjust his scheme to the strengths of his players.
Playing a 3-4 base requires a dominant DT and since none of the current players really falls into that classification at this point, the strength of the defense next year will likely revolve around a 4-3 base with likely starters Sheldon Day, Jarron Jones, Isaac Rochell and either Chase Hounshell or Ishaq Williams playing up on the line.
Whether it be personnel or schematics, replacing the productivity of Nix will be no easy task and until someone else steps up and proves he can be as dominant on the interior, and 2014 will likely have a lot of different looks along the defensive line.

Seeing Glen Campbell perform with The Band Perry and Blake Shelton as McCartney danced in the audience was worth the price of admission.
As was Adele demonstrating that her voice is back. And accepting her awards.
Not everything worked, of course. Fewer weak Beach Boys covers by Maroon Five and Foster the People, more actual Beach Boys, please.
Following Hudson's stunning performance with a second appearance by Chris Brown was a misstep. (Apparently, he's now completely forgiven for beating up Rihanna, who also performed.) And Nicki Minaj's bizarre production number left viewers going, "What was that?"
Whatever it was, it was bad.
As is the case with most awards show, the biggest problem with the Grammys was that they refused to end. Three-and-a-half hours was ridiculous.
Cut the big speech by the head of the academy, kill the Minaj bit and you could be out of there in three hours, tops.

A group of conservatives on the Republican National Committee's governing board has launched an "Anybody but Steele" campaign and are gathering pledges from other committee members not to back the beleaguered RNC chairman, POLITICO has learned.
Members of the Republican National Conservative Caucus held a conference call and sent e-mails last week in an attempt to build support for what they're calling a "Resolution of Commitment."
The same group is also working on a similar, but far more targeted, campaign to persuade the five Republicans challenging Steele not to strike an agreement with him that might improve his prospects — what they call a "No Deal With Steele Pledge."
James Bopp, RNC member from Indiana and a leader of the RNCC, declined to offer specifics about how many pledges the group had received for either effort, directing inquiries to Oregon RNC member Solomon Yue, another RNCC leader. Yue wouldn't respond to an e-mail.
But the conservatives' Dump Steele effort has caught the attention of the incumbent's loyalists and just before Christmas touched off an angry, racially tinged e-mail exchange between Bopp, a supporter of Wisconsin GOP Chairman Reince Priebus's bid to lead the RNC, and Idaho GOP Chairman — and Steele backer — Norm Semanko.
3 Responses to "Dump Steele effort gains momentum"
Steele has ripped them off bigtime, so why the dalliance and debate concerning his demise. This jive turkey, corrupt to the core, a*sclown has cost the "rethugs" big bucks within nothing in return. ?!
Maybe their hesitation concerning this issue should convince voters that "rethugs" along with Dem 'duds' are toxic to our national survival.
Carl Nemo **==
The republicans are just like the democrats, they eat their own. Do you blame him for the Tea Party? He didn't do that, it happened on it's own. Steele had a winning run. Nuff said.
hmm not fan of mr. steele but why not keep him as the so called leadership of the rnc he did its job he raised more money then any other chairman and he has some wins under his belt. the tea party sad that the tea party was hijacked by some crazies. i don't know what to say regardiing both parties that they are simply lost and they do not represent the average thinking american they really need to go. all of these new alliances should go somewhere.

In the midst of other holiday shoppers recently darting about at the in , members of the West St. Louis County Lions Club gathered items to purchase and donate to Missouri School for the Blind students.
Lion member and Eureka resident Bryan Kiefer said the group has been doing this holiday gift project for the school's students for the past decade.
He said it was an extension of the Lions Club collecting unwanted eye glasses as a community service effort. "We do fundraisers with almost 60 members, and the money all goes back to the community for projects, such as these annual holiday gifts and for scholarships, with no gain for the club," said Kiefer.
All Lions Club members contribute, in one way or another, he said.
Missouri School for the Blind administrators choose the children who will receive the donated gifts. The present bags will be delivered Dec. 22.
Kiefer said they bought about $1,500 in gifts and shoes this year.
"This makes it a joyous time of year, to help others who have limited sight or cannot see. It really warms your heart to do this and the presentation is even more powerful than that," he said. "Walmart employees really did a bang up job, too."
Barbara Beal, community relations director for the school, said: "We've been working with the Lions for several years, and they have been so good to our students. Over time, they've bought gifts for many of the same kids each year, and so they get to know them and see them grow up."
She said it is wonderful for their students to feel so loved and taken care of by the Lions. "They know there's someone out there looking out for them."
Editor's Note: Missouri School for the Blind is operated by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The school is located in St. Louis at 3815 Magnolia Ave.

Brand UltraTech has a strong association with the two most popular sports in India - cricket and hockey. The brand's association with the Rajasthan Royals (Season 2, 3 & 5) and the Deccan Chargers (Season 4) helped it establish a connect with the youth. The in-film branding with 'Chak De India' was an extension of the effort to position UltraTech as a youth-oriented brand. Birla White's indigenous 'Yuvaratna' awards, which recognise excellence in engineering, along with UltraTech's alliance with the Business India exhibition, 'A Celebration of Architecture' have added to the aspirational value of the brand among students, architects, builders and the construction community at large.
India, the world's largest producer of movies in as many as 10-12 different languages, provides a great opportunity for advertisers to reach the masses. Films are a great entertainment platform for most Indians. Many FMCGs have encashed this opportunity. The in-film branding opportunity was used by UltraTech for the first time ever in the cement industry. The film Chak De India, promoting women's hockey in India, became an all-time hit. In the movie UltraTech was the sponsor of the Indian women's hockey team. UltraTech branding was prominent throughout the movie.
'It was a big gamble we took," says Mr. Puranmalka. "Initially we were sceptical, with many big banners with big stars failing in the recent past. After a lot of deliberation, we decided to go ahead with this gamble and finally Chak De India almost became like a national anthem, with India winning the women's hockey title in reality and our cricket team winning the inaugural 20-20 World Cup."
UltraTech Cement is proud to be associated with 'A Celebration of Architecture', a Business India Exhibitions' event held in collaboration with the Inside Outside Mega Show, that demonstrates the splendour of Indian architecture.
The event showcases some of the finest products and services in India and overseas. It includes stall displays, slide shows, manufacturers´ presentations, workshops, panel discussions and much more. An awards function also forms part of the event, wherein the aim is to identify and felicitate regional excellence in real estate development, architecture and design in India. With three award categories and twelve city tours, the show recognizes 36 winning projects on the contemporary Indian architectural scene.
The advisory council of 'A Celebration of Architecture' comprises of the country's biggest names from the infrastructure and construction industry – Professor Mustansir Dalvi of Sir J. J. College of Architecture, Mumbai; Mr. Rahul Kadri of Kadri Consultants Pvt Ltd, Mumbai; Mr. Vikram Oberoi of Oberoi Constructions, Mumbai; Mr. Manit Rastogi from Morphogenesis, New Delhi and Mr. Rahul Thakkar of Thakkar & Associates, Ahmedabad.
Cricket in India is truly a national game. Its popularity transcends geography, age and gender. UltraTech Cement has been associated with Cricket initiatives, be it sponsoring the historic India-Pakistan cricket series in 2005 or extending its support to Asia Cup.
In its latest avatar of 20-20, cricket presents a never-before combination of sports and entertainment. The inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League was held in 2008. In line with its position of supporting Sport, especially Cricket, UltraTech Cement was the on-ground partner for the Rajasthan Royals. The team, under the charismatic guidance of Shane Warne emerged victorious in the inaugural tournament. This partnership was cemented further in season 2 and 3, in which UltraTech Cement was the principal team sponsor for Rajasthan Royals.
In Season 4, UltraTech Cement partnered with the talented team from Hyderabad- Deccan Chargers; while in Season 5, the association with Rajasthan Royals has been strengthened as the Principal Team Sponsor for IPL 2012.
Captained by former Indian captain Rahul Dravid, Rajasthan Royals in Season 5 is a brand new team. The blend of experience and exuberance brought in by dynamic players like Sreesanth, Dinesh Chandimal and Brad Hogg, gives the Royals the firepower to combat any challenge. The team also boasts of players of the calibre of Shane Watson, a part of the victorious team of Season 1 who has been retained in the squad. The team, with the thrilling new additions under a new captain is sure to give fans much to cheer about.
The Birla White Yuvaratna Award recognizes and rewards aspiring students of Architecture for excellence in design. It inspires students to use their creative minds to design spaces and structures based on a theme. The contest is also open to Civil Engineering Students with relevant themes.
An initiative from Birla White, India's premium brand of White Cement, the awards have been constituted to inspire budding architects to present concepts that ignite their passion to create a new world. It challenges students to imaginatively present dynamic structures from a range of versatile products manufactured by Birla White with its innumerable permutations and combinations. It has also allowed Civil Engineering students to free their minds and suggest innovative applications of white cement over the past few years.
Birla White Yuvaratna Awards have evolved to become an important event in the academic calendar for almost all students, who aspire to carve a niche for themselves in the field of designing. With two successful years of receiving international entries under various categories, it is now set to establish itself as a design competition of international repute for the students. The overwhelming participation by foreign university students at the awards has set the standard of participation to an international level and has also aided in the improving the quality of work presented by Indian participants.
The competition focuses on identifying and encouraging the creative understanding and ability to design with two distinct and unique design briefs. Participants are expected to showcase their intellectual understanding of the given theme and present it uniquely. The students have proven their worth by showcasing their ability to integrate complex design issues with building programmes and reflect their sensitivity towards the unique site given for the problem.
The maiden contest in 2004, got an overwhelming response from the entire country; in 2 years, the entries grew manifold and the company decided to hold the competition at regional and national levels, which is now extended to an international level also. With every passing year new dimensions have been added to the awards.
In the year 2008, students were made to design a place of worship and 2009 was the year of knowledge for Yuvaratna, where the challenge was set to design a Global Knowledge Centre and Knowledge Media Centre.
In the year 2010, students were invited to design a Global Development Centre for Indian crafts, to be constructed on a site measuring approximately 42.0 Acres with a built up area of approximately 8500 Sq. Mts. And/or, design a Crafts Exhibition cum Display Centre of 1500.00 Sq. Mts., with a maximum of three floors.
This was an ethereal challenge for the budding architects, to interpret and create a global hub for early and holistic education, in a space that allows the past to thrive and take into the future.
The challenge grew to the next level in the year 2011, wherein the students were made to design an Interpretation Centre (Institute) for a Rain Forest Ecosystem of approximately 2500 sq. mts. built-up area and Visitors and Tourist Information Centre of 500 sq. mts. built-up area. The idea was to create a space where working and living in communion with nature transports you to a higher plane altogether. This theme was an endeavour to involve young minds in the act of protecting the environment and developing their eco-sensibilities.

When I spotted Michigan GOP chair Saul Anuzis at the CPAC confab here in Washington a couple of weeks ago, I had to approach him and ask: Is the Michigan primary really up for grabs? This was just a few days after fmr. Penn. Sen. Rick Santorum's upending of ersatz front-runner Mitt Romney in the Minnesota and Colorado caucuses and Missouri's "beauty contest" primary, and the previously unthinkable - a Romney loss in the state he was born - was starting to seem possible. Anuzis confirmed re: Santorum: "I think he'll play" in Michigan - especially "Downriver" in the white working class enclaves south of Detroit - "because Michigan is the home of Reagan Democrats."
Anuzis is perfectly positioned to address that question. Not only is Anuzis a pol schooled in the nuts and bolts of electoral politics through decades of service in the trenches of Michigan Republican electioneering, keeping his ear tuned to the grassroots, but Anuzis has agitated for the GOP to adopt a take on the campaign style, message and demographic targeting that has propelled Santorum this far in this Republican nominating cycle.
In two runs for RNC chair, Anuzis sold himself as the only guy who could appeal to that fabled political animal, the Reagan Democrat. Macomb County - Detroit's blue collar suburb - is the spiritual home the Reagan Democrats, who are hawkish, socially conservative but often economically populist, off the free market reservation. Anuzis even openly bragged that he was once a Teamster.
The Romney political clan hails from a bordering jurisdiction, the more affluent suburban Oakland County. Oakland was once rock-ribbed Republican, but a Democratic trend has culminated in a handy Obama win in 2008.
Michigan offers familiar political terrain for Santorum; his homestate Pennsylvania shares many Rust Belt demographic and voting behavioral traits with the Wolverine State. Santorum has built his career appealing to voters like those in Macomb County: pro-life and pro-gun but also loyal to their Big Labor local. Santorum has campaigned in Michigan against a backdrop banner that reads "Made in America," a obvious nod to blue collar voters.
So Anuzis might find vindication in his strategy in the seeming waning appeal of a Midwestern "regular Republican," struggling to take a statewide primary even with the GOP name-brand name Romney attached.
Yes, the Oakland county voters who once would have driven home a comfortable Romney Republican primary victory are defecting to the Democratics - especially the college-educated ones - but as The Examiner's senior political analyst, Michigan native Michael Barone reminded us in his column last Sunday, "it's also true that there just aren't so many voters in [Reagan Democrat country] any more; voter turnout there is way down. (Santorum's own) Pittsburgh is our one major metro area with more deaths than births. There aren't as many neighborhoods filled with devout Catholics with large families as there were 50 years ago."
Anuzis has joined the rest of Michigan's political establishment in backing Romney this time, but Santorum "will play" strong here by using Anuzis' favored playbook.
Given the Reagan Democrats' demographic decline, a Santorum strong showing might ironically foreshadow longterm electability challenges for the GOP.

Minnesota Stars FC Make 6 Big Signings
Minnesota Stars FC made their 2013 ambitions clear today when they announced six signings: Pablo Campos, Eitenne Barbara, Daryl Sattler, Bryan Arguez, Aaron Pitchkolen, and the resigning of Simone Bracalello.
Campos, Sattler, and Pitchkolen are coming off the back of a NASL regular season Championship with the San Antonio Scorpions. Campos was both the league MVP and the Golden Boot winner in 2012 and Sattler led the league in goals against and was arguably the NASL's best keeper. Pitchkolen is a well traveled and highly regarded midfielder who San Antonio locals have described as a "huge loss."
Etienne Barbara is returning to the NASL from MLS' Vancouver Whitecaps. Former Carolina RailHawks coach Martin Rennie signed the Maltese international on the back of a 2011 Golden Boot and NASL MVP season for Barbara. His time was limited by injury last season and the Whitecaps cut the prolific goalscorer loose to pursue other opportunities.
The Stars are looking to reunite Campos and Barbara who played together for the RailHawks under Rennie and combined for 35 goals in 2011. Lagos was quoted on the Stars website as saying:
"We sat down after the year and talked about ways we wanted to further elevate our performance on the field to give Minnesotans a good product, and we identified players we thought could help us do that, and I'm just really excited to get the kind of players we're announcing today. Hopefully the fans are excited to have the last two MVPs and players who have excelled together and are looking forward to playing together."
The Minnesota Stars were acquired shortly after the close of the 2012 season by former United HealthGroup CEO and Twin City resident, Dr. William McGuire. The sale ended the rampant speculation that the Stars would fold after the 2012 season. McGuire is a noted philanthropist and keen businessman who looks to bring not only financial backing but his considerable marketing background to "The team no one wanted."
The acquisition of the last two NASL Golden Boot winners and last seasons Golden Glove winners drops the gauntlet for the already controversial NASL 2013 Opening Season. McGuire and head coach Manny Lagos clearly mean business in 2013.
Lagos, seen by many (including this writer) as the best coach outside Division 1 famously won the Inaugural NASL Soccer Bowl with the now infamous "Team no one wanted." He also led the Stars to the Final in 2012 only to lose to the Tampa Bay Rowdies in a thoroughly entertaining final. He and McGuire clearly seek to reestablish Minnesota's long standing legacy in the US soccer landscape.
The Stars also announced the signing of former DC United player Hertha Berlin, Montreal Impact and FC Edmonton midfielder Bryan Arguez, a third former San Antonio Scorpion, Aaron Pitchkolan, and the resigning of Italian striker Simone Bracalello. This brings the offseason haul for the Stars to six (mostly) new signings and essentially an entirely new spine for the 2013 opening and closing seasons.
This may not be the end of what is certainly a bright start for the 2013 Stars either, the clubs website claims that:
"Additional announcements about the team, including new matches and other player and coaching additions, are expected in the coming month."
The Stars will open the 2013 season on Saturday April 6th against the San Antonio Scorpions at home. It looks to be shaping up to be quite an eventful affair.

Core Urbanix's gameplay is a mixture between Xonix and Qix – you control a tiny little tractor that needs to conquer the playfield. When you are travelling over the unoccupied land, you leave a trail. If the trail is hit by an enemy or yourself – you lose a life. Very simple, yet deep gameplay.
Urbanix takes place in three worlds – Town, North Pole and Moon Base. Apart from the visuals, these worlds are fundamentally different in terms of gameplay. In Town, you just need to conquer and empty territory. In North Pole, you need to clear the area from the snow first, and then conquer it (so you need to conquer the area twice) and in Moon Base you need to conquer the area three times.
Each world consists of 50 levels, so you have plenty of work to do.
We have 3 enemy types in Urbanix – Landrunners, Helisharks and Housecrashers. Landrunners are the easiest and the dumbest ones. All they do is run from one side to another without even changing their direction. If they hit you or your tail, you lose a life. Helisharks are flying after you, and if you're caught, you need to break away by rapidly pressing the L and R buttons. If you are successful, you will get away; if not, you will lose a life. And finally Housecrashers – they are harmless, but very annoying. They run around and destroy the houses you've built. So as soon as you see one, you need to scare it away as fast as you can.
Urbanix has numerous bonuses, both good and bad. Look out for those, as they might determine your success.

There are whispers going around that Mercedes and Aston Martin are looking to forming a partnership sometime in the future. Lord knows what we're going to make of this, but since the word came from Mercedes chief Dieter Zetsche himself, we figure that there might more truth to this than what we originally thought.
Speaking to Autocar, Zetsche mentioned that he believes that a collaboration between the German automaker and the British marquee could happen down the road. "Smaller brands need help with new technology," he said.
"It's possible we could do things in the future."
The two car brands aren't strangers to one another. Two years ago, Aston Martin and Mercedes launched a partnership that was called 'Project Alligator' . Now, it looks like the two brands are poised to renew their partnership which, in the event it happens, could see both Mercedes and Aston strike an agreement for a number of ventures, not the least of which could include a variety of things like research, development, and production of new engines as well as new models in the future.

Ceramic Bowl
1. Wipe the bisque bowl with a clean damp sponge.
2. Lightly sketch the design on the inside and outside of the bowl using a #2 pencil .
3. Using a glazed tile as a palette, place a small amount of glaze on the tile.
4. Starting with the inside of the bowl, paint inside the lines similar to coloring in a coloring book. Add darker colors on top of the lighter ones for more interest and blend the colors. Paint the outside of the bowl.
5. Add a small amount of water to the brush and pull it through the back glaze to make it the consistency of half and half. Outline the fruit using black glaze.
6. Stir the clear glaze using a drill with a glaze or paint mixer attachment.
7. Carefully dip half of the bowl into the glaze. Allow the bowl to drip until the excess glaze is gone.
8. Allow the bowl to dry on stilts until dampness is eliminated. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for the other side.
9. Once the bowl is completely dry, finger sand the seam and use a sanding sponge to make sure all drip marks are eliminated.
10. Place in the kiln on metal stilts making sure that nothing is touching the bowl.
11. Set the kiln to Cone 06 on medium speed with a hold of 15 minutes. Let the kiln cook and cool. This will take about 24 hours.
12. Once the kiln is below 130 degrees open the lid and remove the bowl.
13. Put on safety glasses and grind the stilt points off the bottom.

AFT and Special Olympics:
Featured Articles
Special Olympian inspires delegates, urges involvement
Figure skater featured in convention segment on community service
If any delegates at Friday's opening session were thinking about volunteering with the Special Olympics program, it took about 30 seconds of listening to Illinois Special Olympian Angie Picchi to see what incredible rewards can come from working with people with disabilities. Picchi, who competes internationally as a figure skater, brought the delegates to their feet with an inspiring talk about what the Special Olympics program has done for her and other children and adults.
AFT executive vice president Antonia Cortese welcomes Special Olympian Angie Picchi to the 2008 AFT convention.
Her remarks were part of a segment led by AFT executive vice president Antonia Cortese highlighting the union's long tradition of community service. The AFT's involvement as a prime supporter of Special Olympics is just one recent example of labor working together with the community to promote the common good. Many AFT members are active in the program as coaches and volunteers.
"You guys are great," Picchi said, "not only for your support of Special Olympics but also for your patience and support in teaching children with disabilities. Your open minds and caring hearts have given us a chance to amaze the world with our ability to learn."
She talked about her lifelong desire to be a figure skater, despite her mother's fear that a child with Down syndrome would not have the balance or muscle strength to do it. But once Picchi took her first class at age 12—and met the coach who has worked with her for 15 years—she felt she "could do anything on ice, as long as I kept on trying."
Picchi echoed Cortese's call for the delegates to volunteer with Special Olympics. "I promise you will have a great time if you join us," she said.
The session opened with a video highlighting the efforts of the AFT and its members—not only in Special Olympics, but in other recent projects such as helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina, working to raise money to fight cancer, and Thursday's community event/health fair at Chicago's Bass Elementary School.
Cortese closed by urging delegates to visit the Greater Together Action Center and talk with volunteers from Special Olympics in Illinois who will be on hand to answer questions about how to get involved. "You and your members will feel pride in your union, and your community members will feel pride in having teachers and unions who care deeply about their sons and daughters," Cortese said. "By coming together, we really are greater than one."

AFT and Special Olympics: A winning team
Special Olympics is labor of love for volunteer from New York affiliate
Nancy Logan can tell plenty of stories about people who got hooked after their first experience volunteering with Special Olympics. "A lot of people come by to help out for an hour, and they end up staying for 10 years," jokes Logan, a teacher and special education department chair at Nanuet (N.Y.) High School. Logan should know—the AFT member started volunteering with the program when she was in high school, and some 30 years later, she still loves it despite the vast amount of time she puts in.
The AFT is hoping to get more members to follow Logan's example. As part of a new partnership with Special Olympics, the national union recently signed on to help sponsor the first USA National Games in Ames, Iowa, in July. At the games, the AFT will provide transportation for athletes, coaches, volunteers and family members as they move from their dorms and hotels to the Festival Village and event locations. The union also has endorsed the Special Olympics' "SO Get Into It" service-learning curriculum for all grade levels, which consists of lesson plans, activities and videos promoting student and teacher awareness and understanding of—and involvement in—Special Olympics.
The aim of Special Olympics is to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically fit and productive through sports training and competition. It offers children and adults year-round training and competition in 26 Olympic-type sports.
Over the years, Logan has been involved with the program at every level—from local competitions to the World Games—as a coach, official, coordinator and any other job that needed to be filled. "I love sports and I love working with special needs kids," she says. "So this seemed like a perfect match."
As a special ed teacher, Logan says, she doesn't always see big gains with her students in the classroom. School is something that often is hard for them, so they get frustrated and angry. Outside of school, "they exhibit skills we never see in the classroom," she says, noting that they are more confident and outgoing.
Regular education students also have a great experience when they volunteer with Special Olympics, she says.
"The students in the high school see the athletes in a different way," Logan explains. "Many of them come back very impressed. It really is an eye-opener for them." And the same enthusiasm holds true with other school staff: "I haven't had anyone yet say it was a waste of time to volunteer."

AFT and Special Olympics join forces
Partnership will strengthen outreach to educators and schools
The AFT has joined forces with Special Olympics. The two national organizations plan to work together in a variety of ways that will strengthen Special Olympics outreach to educators and schools. The AFT is also encouraging its state and local affiliates to become involved in Special Olympics. The AFT will be a sponsor of the first USA National Games in Ames, Iowa in July. At the games, the union will help sponsor transportation for athletes, coaches, volunteers and family members as they move from their dorms and hotels to the Festival Village and event locations. The AFT logo will be prominently displayed on the vehicles.
The union also has endorsed the Special Olympics' "SO Get Into It" service-learning curriculum for all grade levels, which consists of lesson plans, activities and videos promoting student and teacher awareness and understanding of—and involvement in—Special Olympics. "The AFT is uniquely poised to implement this program in classrooms through state and local affiliates and members," says AFT executive vice president Antonia Cortese.
Many AFT members, especially special education teachers, serve as coaches and volunteers with Special Olympics, and some AFT affiliates have collaborated in the past with local Special Olympics programs.
A joint letter from AFT president Edward J. McElroy and Special Olympics president and CEO Bruce Pasternack has been sent to AFT state federations and their Special Olympics counterparts.
Special Olympics is dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically fit and productive through sports training and competition. It offers children and adults with intellectual disabilities year-round training and competition in 26 Olympic-type sports.

Lots to see and take in, wear a good pair of walking shoes. Liked the way Charleston is laid out and could imagine living there during the Civil War.
We toured and we were on the only 2 on teh tour which was nice. Very informative and a beautiful charming mansion, set on a hillside overlooking the river nad College of Charleston.
The Governor's Mansion is located beside the West Virginia State Capital and is beautiful inside and outside. The grounds adjoin the Capital grounds and they are well maintained.
Very stately. Majestic! Truly worthy of the state citizenry's highest elected official. Too bad it has to be occupied currently by a jackaxx -- er, donkey. Any elephant would be better!
If your touring the capitol check out the Mansion-its only open certain days so plan accordingly
The Gov mansion is just as nice here in Wva as in any
other state, We like to visit near Christmas because they
do such a wonderful job decorating. Must see !

Risk Assessment
Definition of 'Risk Assessment'
The process of determining the likelihood that a specified negative event will occur. Investors and business managers use risk assessments to determine things like whether to undertake a particular venture, what rate of return they require to make a particular investment and how to mitigate an activity's potential losses.
Investopedia explains 'Risk Assessment'
Examples of formal risk assessment techniques and measurements include conditional value at risk-cVaR (used by portfolio managers to reduce the likelihood of incurring large losses); loan-to-value ratios (used by mortgage lenders to evaluate the risk of lending funds to purchase a particular property); and credit analysis (used by lenders to analyze a potential client's financial data to determine whether to lend money and if so, how much and at what interest rate).

Installing .Net 1.1 in Windows 7 Pro fails
To solve various problems for which I sought help earlier (thanks to those who tried) I recently did a clean reinstall of Win 7 Pro + SP1 (and all updates) and, of course, a whole bunch of apps. So far so good, and it did solve a lot of nagging issues of the kind that do build up in Windows over time.
However, an Excel application that uses DDE to access real time data from a remote server needs .Net Framework 1.1 (so says the service provider). The Win 7 reinstall included only .Net 4.0 (not 4.5). So far the .Net 1.1 downloads from Microsoft have failed to install - the setup process goes almost to completion, then says it "ended prematurely" and rolls back. There are no error codes or other indication as to why it failed. Here are the two files that I tried, both with the same result:
dotnetfx.exe NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe both from the MS Download Center
How can I install .Net 1.1 and get it working on my machine? Do I need to uninstall 4.0 first, then do 1.1 and then 4.0?
Thanks for any words of wisdom on this matter.

My Thoughts: Installing Dotnet Framework 1.1 on Windows 7 beta edition
A Guy
|My System Specs
|27 Sep 2013
A Guy: my apologies for responding so late - I was away for about two weeks.
The procedure you cite shows up on several websites, so it must be valid. I need to get .Net 1.1 back onto my system after doing a clean re-install of Win 7 Pro SP1 (just a few weeks ago - it and all updates went well).
The 1.1 sequence, using new c:\DotNet folder as recommended, seemed to work flawlessly. There were no error, unhandled exceptions, or other failure reports. But .Net 1.1 isn't there! Netfx_Setupverifier.exe doesn't even list it to be verified (2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 are listed and verified); and it doesn't show up in Control Panel > Programs and Features where, unlike 2.0 thru 3.5, I would expect it to be separately listed as it was before I reinstalled Win 7. I had also run sfc /scannow, which reported no issues.
What's missing? Is there another service that needs to be running? Is there some other Windows feature that needs to be turned on to let .Net 1.1 fully install? Is there a registry key that I can fix? I should also note that, when running netfix.msi (the final step in the procedure), at the very end the progress bar appeared to run backwards, as though a rollback were taking place. That lasted only a second or two, and there were no messages of any kind.
Can you (or anyone) anyone shed some light on this problem? I know that many people in the past have appealed to this and other forums for help regarding .Net 1.1 on Win 7. I'm also aware that Microsoft no longer supports 1.1 on Win 7. But there must be a way to make it happen.
Thanks in advance for any help and words of wisdom.

Have you run all arounds of Important and Optional Windows Updates, after enabling Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3)?
This should deliver the latest Net Frameworks which are backwards compatible as well as other performance and security updates which may also be needed to give full functionality.
If you're saying however that you have a program that only can use such an old version of Net Framework and isn't backwards compatible with newer ones then the program may need to be installed in Compatibility Mode for XP SP2 or the OS it was written for.

Thanks gregrocker,
According to Windows Update, all available updates have been successfully installed, except for a few minor optionals. I do have my system set for auto-updating. For drivers I also use Raxco Perfect Updater, which says that all drivers are current.
The program that needs .Net 1.1 is Sterling Trader Pro, a commercially available stock market trading application. It's free to download but, as you might expect, you pay to trade. This app provides linkage into Excel via DDE and the included Excel add-in. This is the part that that needs .Net 1.1. I have developed an Excel trading application (with extensive VBA content) that gets a real time market data feed from the Sterling servers via Trader Pro. This Excel app worked fine before I re-installed Win 7 Pro (a necessary last resort due to other accumulated system issues); and it works fine on a partner's PC. So I'm assuming that if I can just get 1.1 back onto my system I'll be back up and trading.
Thanks Slartybart,
I'm studying the instructions in the link you provided; I will try them very soon and let you know the results.
Question: I assume that .Net 1.1, when correctly installed, will show up in Programs and Features as a separate line item, unlike 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5, which are built into 4.0. Is this a correct assumption?

2. Check your partners computer and see if the version of this Sterling Trader Pro program is the same as your version.

Watch movies on the iPad, it seems interesting not. As we already know, iPad is a powerful device which allows us to do more with that. One of the advantages of this device is that we can use it to watch movies or films whenever and wherever we want. It's more comfortable for watching movies than on your phone since iPad offers larger display. But getting movies to the iPad through iTunes can be expensive. So we look for some alternative ways to watch or playing free movies on iPad or iPad 2 and this article may help you.
Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with YouTube
The only reason why YouTube isn't listed first is simply because it comes already installed on the iPad. Using the HTML5 version of the YouTube player, no browser plugins (i.e., Flash) are required to watch videos. Listing it among the best free way for streaming video certainly isn't going to surprise anyone, nor does anyone need to hunt for it on the app store. But any list of great video apps that doesn't include YouTube would certainly be lacking.
Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with Hulu Plus
The Hulu Plus app takes some flack for both requiring a subscription cost ($7.99 a month) and having commercials within the video playback, but one thing few can argue with is its presentation. Compared to Netflix's watered down interface, Hulu Plus is quite a dream to use. The app does lack some key features, such as video out support. Enjoy up to 720p HD resolution with multi-bitrate support for the optimal viewing experience for your screen resolution and network connection speed.
Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with Crackle
Crackle for iPad is ad-supported app that streams well-known Hollywood television shows and uncut movies (as well as original content) from Columbia Pictures, Screen Gems, Sony Pictures Classic, and TriStar Pictures over 3G or Wi-Fi connections to Apple's tablet, but the television programming is a bit lacking. Owned by Sony Pictures, Crackle has a lot of great content, including some great programming produced solely for Crackle.
Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with Boxee
Boxee is a relative newcomer to the field of streaming video on the iPad, but it shoots to the top of the list for some reasons: the ability to stream arbitrary audio and video content from local network and the web with its big Media Manager feature, the ability to save videos to watch later, and the social media functions that links your Boxee viewing to Facebook, Twitter, and what's more, it's one of the most awesome FREE ways to bring movies, TV shows, photos and music from the web to your iPad.
Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with NFB Films
"NFB" stands for National Film Board, a bona fide Canadian treasure. With the NFB Films iPad app you can watch over 1000 movies – documentaries, animations and feature films – FREE on your iPad or iPad 2. You can also store films on your iPad for up to 48 hours to watch when you're away from a WiFi zone. And with the release of iOS 4.3, you can now throw the videos (from the app) over to your Apple TV using its new AirPlay feature.
Get and watch free movies on iPad/iPad 2 with Netflix
Netflix app on iPad 2 does make iPad 2 shines a lot more. There aren't that many things bad about Netflix app, and most of them contribute to the limited nature of a tablet. A big plus for Netflix app on iPad 2 is that people can stream movies on the go with it. Enjoy the app, because it is FREE. And in the latest version, Netflix has made a number of improvements, like adding star recommendations and removing the status bar while titles are playing.
Get and watch free movies for iPad/iPad 2 with HBO GO
HBO GO is a new streaming service from HBO. The application is fast and snappy, and provides subscribers with an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with access to over 1,400 HBO shows directly on their devices. Available at no additional charge for existing HBO subscribers, HBO GO allows users to view programming over either a Wi-Fi or 3G connection, making the entire lineup of HBO shows and movies available while on-the-go.
Get and watch free movies for iPad or iPad 2 with HBO GOOverall, the simple fact that the iOS platform can finally stream video is a feature that many users are happy to have. Not only does the iPad applications whet the appetite for this newly acquired feature, but some 3rd-party DVD to iPad converter software (computer-based) and iPad video converter software format the various video to ipad-compatible.

Hybrid courses are growing in popularity because of the flexibility they afford to both students and faculty. They are sometimes called blended learning courses, because they blend the practices of traditional face-to-face teaching with fully-online teaching. The number of class meetings varies among courses, but UVM broadly defines a hybrid course as one where 25-75% of the class time is conducted online.
UVM's Hybrid Course Initiative was launched in Spring 2013. One of its primary goals is to provide faculty with the knowledge and skills particular to this model of teaching. Read more about the UVM Hybrid Initiative here.
Here is a collection of resources related to hybrid teaching.
