For those of you who live in other countries, how do you feel toward the United States?
Since I don't travel much from my home near Los Angeles, I often wonder how others feel toward America and Americans.
Jan 28 2013: Americans and America are severely neurotic.
American'ts worship lies more than anything else. They find the truth revolting and deny it vigorously,
even attacking those who call them on it.
They are blood-letters, craving for the shedding of other people's blood.
They elect those who will do this for them.
America is now made up of Manchurian Candidates and Manchurian Citizens.
Most of America is seriously mentally ill. Some are borderline insane if not outright insane.
They cannot see their own insanity because most everyone around them is insane too.
Their politics are a joke, except for how dangerous it is to them and the world at large.
They are red and blue states, at odds with one another, think that is "normal", think sex is abnormally immoral and suffer from a form of National Bi-polarism, a very serious disorder.
Most who have bi-polar disorder are:
1. misdiagnosed - they tell themselves they are fine and so does their media
2. mismedicated - they are on all kinds of anti-this drugs and anti-that country, anti-that religion or beliefs, and anxiety medications are the number one seller there as well as the daily dose they get from their medical -media, and...
3. most commit suicide - as it can clearly be seen that this is what they are doing to themselves.
They no longer know the difference between right and wrong (the legal definition of insanity), and believe "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" is the definition, when that is the definition of "practice".
It can be however, a description of insane behavior and is, as is demonstrated by their love for voting, a practice that hasn't worked for decades.
The most important political things in their country, they no longer get to vote on and haven't for decades.

Jan 28 2013: Thanks. Random, do you see countries in the world that are doing better, that you wouldn't feel so critical of? Who are they, and why are they better?
- +1
What is it about America that would create some of the conditions you describe?
How is it that voting doesn't work? Do you vote in your country? Do you scorn it there as well?
One thing I like about America is the multiculturalism. You walk down a street, you see black, white, old, young, Asian, healthy, handicapped. Is it like that where you live? Would you see that as a strength, or does it not matter?
Jan 30 2013: Hi Greg.
Sorry it has taken me a few days to get back.
There are other countries who do some things better than the U.S. but what concerns me most is the Imperialism of America and how easily Americans simply dismiss the horrible things they have done and are doiing, with comments like, "we have done a lot of good in the world", "we are the freest country, with the best standard of living" and so on. And they use this kind of denial to continue invading other countries, stealing their resources, impoverishing the people of other countries, destroying burgeoning democracies, spying on their own citizens, using the military to do this (which is outlawed by Federal law and both Bush Jr and B.Clinton admitted this), and along this way they are destroying the Constitution, removing the liberties of the citizens and lying to them about almost everything. They are being, and have been, heavily brainwashed, so they are now a mentally ill country as far as the population goes.
Al Gore won and georgie bush went into the W.H. But not only that, no politician has solved, is solving or will solve, the problems that Americans as a country now face. They have their money stolen, they are lied, to while funds appropriated for various projects are fleeced of funds that only go into the pocket of the rich - those in power. It certainly isn't in the pockets of regular people, so where did it go? Just disappear? No.
The Pentagon cannot account for 2.3 trillion in funds!!!!! And no one talks about, investigates it, researches it and gets answers from a government that is doing all they can and more, to do everything in complete secrecy. And why would anyone trust such a government or such individuals? People who do worship lies.
Multiculturalism is in every country in the world today, so your point about really doesn't mean much. It's everywhere. It's good for people, but not when it is in the form of a insidious, hidden form of invasion, a la, the U.S
Does politics solve problems? No
Jan 31 2013: Huh. Personally I try to do all good things, in other words, I don't do one good thing and one bad thing and say "Well the good thing justifies the bad thing." I expect my country to do the same, and I've never really heard any American justify any bad thing America does by saying "We do good things too." But of course I haven't talked to every American. Perhaps I'm naive, I don't think of America as invading other countries, I actually think of America as only responding when attacked, or threatened. For example, on the invasion of Iraq I believe our leaders genuinely believed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction that would threaten not only us but world stability. Of course maybe they were duplicitous but I've not seen the evidence, have you? So maybe you need to tell me what invasion you mean?
As far as funds being fleeced for various projects, I would say that funds appropriated for projects generally go toward completing the project. For example, highway funds build highways, sales tax funds food stamp programs ( think 50% of American households now collect some sort of welfare), etc. If rich businesspeople make more money, it is because they are the leaders on projects and work harder than the people below them. Of course there are corrupt exceptions, but if everyone were corrupt, America would not have the kind of standard of living they do. Even people on welfare here live pretty comfortably.
However, these are my impressions. If you can provide specific examples, do so. I find it hard to believe the Pentagon cannot account for 2.3 trillion. Can you give more proof that this is so.

America has done allot to progress science, culture and politics in the last century. I think allot of people are very quick to judge America and maybe won't realize how well they played their role till after their current stint as world leaders is over. I hope that their legacy of democracy, egalitarianism and freedom of speach lives on in the next phase of global society.
Jan 31 2013: Thanks, Dan. Why do you think one country becomes a leader? Is it natural resources, or...........? Could it be something in the people, because one would think people are pretty similar the world over?
Dan Clarke
Feb 1 2013: It's just where society still is at the moment. I think the human specemin is similar the world over, but I think people are different, in as much as cultures really do make people look at things different. Every empire has it's positive and neative impacts. The brittish empire created industry but also industrialized slavery, the americans created many aspects of the modern world but also created (the now failing) capitalist model. Hopefully in the future, there won't be just one dominent empire. Hopefully we can build a global society with true international dialogue rather than the half-baked fear driven thing that we have now. I think the Ted ideoligis are deffinitely the progressive ones that could lead us all in to a more possitive, more global future. The question is, when will society be ready to transition. It means every society in the world coming to terms with and admitting their ills. - In my opinion, you can only lead by example as forced ideoligies are inherently corrupt. DCJan 29 2013: The victory of bringing back peace to people all over the world since only few countries have the power to do so.Yes, I am referring to the defeat of Japan and Germany.You know, my grandma would always say that without the service of the USA people in the Far East during WW2, we would still be in our 'dark ages'.
- +2
The world has changed, very much indeed.Going back 50 years ago, I doubt a person like me could have a conversation with a person like you.Thank God for technology.But USA still has the power to bring peace to people all over the world.
The Palestine-Israel issue should be a start I suppose.

Jan 30 2013: Kate,
My hometown is a place named Butterworth in Penang. If you were to google the name of that place, it was once the RAAF base stationed in Malaya.Australians also played a major role during the war (and much more, The Malayan Emergency to name a few) and for that Malaysians are forever thankful for.We see Australia as a 'big brother' to us since we share a long history way back to the colonial days.How could we ever forget that.The memorial still stands at the island's esplanade .From what I see, cooperation was far more important than competition in those days.That I think is something worth taking note.Jan 31 2013: Boy, Muhammad, I think you may be overestimating the U.S. One country out of 150. We cannot bring peace to the world by ourselves. I'm sorry, what country do you live in? What efforts is your country making for peace?
Feb 1 2013: I am sorry if I've overestimated your country's capability.It is just that Malaysians often see the US intervening in all sorts of international issues that it is somehow stamped in our minds that the US government are capable of doing something about these issues.It is only logic to think that the US government are sure of its capabilities when it wants to intervene in an international issue.
Malaysia is the country I am proud to call home.Our capabilities are small and limited yet we do what we can to give back to the world .People should know that we are a developing nation.There are so many internal issues that we can't afford to intervene in another nation's issues or problems.
Feb 2 2013: Muhammad, Malaysia's capabilities are small and limited yet you do what you can to give back to the world. What do you give back to the world?Feb 2 2013: http://www.gmomf.org/_m=content&cid=649
Just to name a few.Jan 28 2013: I know this may sound a little harsh but it is me being honest (so sorry!).From a Malaysian point of view, USA (am not using the term America since it's a continent,not a country) seems to be a country that feels as if they are the best nation in this world,and hence would think that they are always right in every decision that they make.
I know this can be a little hard to digest, but Malaysians see the United States as a country with enormous power yet failed to use them properly.They don't 'walk the talk' one might say.
Need me to elaborate more? Sorry if I am being too honest here.
Jan 28 2013: Muhammad, if Americans think they're #1, where do you think other countries place themselves? For example, do Malaysians think of their country as #2, or #20, or #50, or where? Or do they not bother ranking themselves?
How has America failed to use its power properly?
Jan 29 2013: There shouldn't be rankings.Every country has its pros and cons just like the humans that administer them.
The USA used to be the hero.East Asians are forever indebted to your country's service during WW2. They can repeat the same victory they once had in other parts of the world.However to our surprise, nothing happened.
Jan 29 2013: Thank you, Muhammad. What do you mean, they can repeat the same victory they once had in other parts of the world, to your surprise nothing happened. I would think the world has changed since WWII. Is the victory you're referring to defeating Japan and Germany?
Reply at the top if you like.Jan 27 2013: G'day Greg
The first things that comes into mind is greed & power mongering but that of course doesn't apply to every citizen in the US only a few who really don't care about anything else but themselves & of course we have them out in Australia as well.
I think the US seems a little like war mongers which is usually connected to dominance, power & money but in saying this if it wasn't for the US countries like Australia would be in a lot of trouble which would be equal to what happened in WWII.
In all the US is a necessity to countries like Australia as we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the US being what it is.
Jan 28 2013: Thank you, Mathew. If a country is dominant, why do you think it becomes so?
Don Anderson
Feb 1 2013: As a 100% (9th-5th Generation) pure American mutt, my feelings towards any country are divided between those towards the leaders of the country and often totally different feelings towards the people of a country. And I believe most people of the world (but not all) also separate the two.
- +1
So when I hear someone say America is currently out to take the freedoms and rights, I trust that they are speaking of the American leaders. And in a recent poll shown that 53% agrees with them and also believe the US is taking the rights away.
Take Iran for example, I view its government as trouble makers, but its people as good people I would like to know better.
greg dahlen
Feb 2 2013: Yeah, I don't buy that, Don. Whatever a country does, I hold all its citizens responsible, because if the leaders were bad and didn't reflect the will of the people, the people could kick them out, the people would find a way, where there is a will there is a way.
- +1
Don Anderson
Feb 4 2013: I don't think it is right to judge a whole group by the actions of individual, nor individual by the actions of the group. Such thinking is the foundation of racism and bigotry.
- +2
But more to the point, although you can say that the citizens lack courage for not kicking murderous leaders, you should not say that the citizens are also murderous. Plus how can citizens be responsible when one party controls the media, the school and the second party in order to give the illusion of a way to kick them out. If your leaders, media, schools tell you the same lie, how would is a citizen to know that it is a lie?
Considering the US is ranked 47 in freedom of the press, how confident can we be that the US really has two genuine parties.
Feb 7 2013: Yeah, but media is not the only way people get information. They also get it by word of mouth, which can be more powerful. Or, I would say, by things they witness firsthand, and even by intuition.
Reply at the top if you like.Jan 28 2013: Lately I think of America as an experiment in progress. It's interesting Greg that you are reaching out and asking for a perspective from outside your country because I think our own view can be biased and another vantage point might be enlightening. Or not.
I remember first real human contact with americans was a draught dodger that became friends with my older brother. Later I played music with a young man avoiding the draught and he broke down crying because of the shame he felt about his decision to leave the US. They were both good people. I think of Paul Simon's song 'American Tune', patriotic like an anthem. That's America; big on anthems and flags, so sure that their experiment is working. It's like God said "Let's do an experiment where everything is based on freedom and we'll make it mandatory that everyone must have a gun and we'll write that into their constitution". Paul Simon says "I can't help but wonder, what's gone wrong". I lived in Texas for a year and had some good friends there. But I remember a time when I was threatened by a man with a gun as he revealed that he thought I was a yankee. If I had known my own Canadian history I could have enlightened him to the fact that the yankee Americans said "You're either with us or agin us" to fight the south(George Bush said the same thing later). Instead we aligned with new Canadian provinces to form a larger Canada and a larger threat to the yankees. Hence we were actually helping the south. But I love the south, and Paul Simon and the american culture is part of my life. I met a war vet in a bar in Grants N.M. He had one plastic arm and we discussed the war; whether it was right or wrong and I left him telling him that I respected him and his sacrifice. So many wars are creating so many victims inside and outside america. When an army wins a war they want to fight another and when an army loses a war they want to fight again. Fewer victims-more forgiveness.
Feb 9 2013: Greg, is America more of an experiment in progress than other countries, or is every country an experiment in progress? Why would America be more so?
Feb 9 2013: When we live in a democracy we want to believe that it is the right way to live. All countries are experiments in progress I believe. We have seen many versions of civilizations through history. In my opinion to worship a gun and make it part of your religion has taken America down a path of ignorance and it's leading it to a demise. I have watched people state that they are correct because of the fact they have a gun. The theory is; it's in the constitution so it must be right. I think America's military exploits are a manifestation of it's 2nd amendment. It's like when Jesus said, "You're either with me or agin me".Jan 28 2013: As an American I always enjoyed traveling. I always found everyone friendly if I tried to speak their language. i don't know what I could do in a country like England as I have a Texas kind of accent. I think the President makes a difference as to how we are perceived. Carter, Woodrow Wilson, Teddy, and Obama won Noble peace prizes. Bishop Tutu believes W. Bush should stand before the bar at the World Court. Whether that is fair or not I can't guess, but that is probably realistic in evaluating what others think. You don't have to really vote that way to wear the buttons which could suggest a new business. Also, There Is Always a Reckoning . Okay, I like President Carter's poetry too, or wear a JR T-shirt. Of course, a little humility goes far in making friends.

Jan 28 2013: Oh, Kate, I think people will engage quite honestly on this! Americans themselves love to criticize America and other Americans and hold to their own stereotypes. Criticism of America is an American tradition!
- +1
What interests me is how people form their views about other countries and their people or even their own country and its people.
For example, I wouldn't feel that the media through which I get information about other countries would give me a reliable picture at all about how open-minded the people are.
Jan 28 2013: Fritz, why wouldn't the media give you a reliable picture about how open-minded the people are in other countries? After all, doesn't the media have reporters on the ground in other countries who file their stories from those countries and really do interact with the people in those countries.
Is America more self-critical than other countries? Why might that be?
Fritzie -
Jan 28 2013: Do you, Greg, feel like you know how open-minded people in Germany are or in England or Japan or Nigeria? How confident are you in your impression? Do you feel like you have a rich picture of the variety of views about a variety of issues in each of these places?
- +1
Maybe you do feel well informed in this respect. I don't feel confident at all that the information I have about other countries is more than superficial. And I am often impressed with how homogeneous in views and disposition people believe Americans are.
The United States protects dissent via the Bill of Rights. Further, there is a long tradition of distrusting and criticizing authority and "the establishment", including government.
My statement made no comparison between the United States and any other country in the disposition to self-criticize or dissent. My claim was only that in the US complaining about/criticizing modern culture, government, education, and so forth is ubiquitous and has been for my whole life, at least. Those who do not criticize the country, its people, and its institutions would be the nonconformists in the US, don't you think?Jan 28 2013: Kate, I really didn't mean for it to be loaded. Probably I was mostly thinking that I occasionally hear that certain groups or tribes really hate America, and wondered why that might be? Maybe they're justified in their hate, or maybe it's incorrect thinking.
Comment deleted
Feb 2 2013: Kate, if Australia is doing some things better, how or why do you think they are able to do it?
Yeah, I'm no expert on gun culture, being a pacifist who has never owned one. I usually feel glad that my fellow citizenry has guns, because I worry about our government suddenly becoming more dictators, trying to dominate the people by force, and if the people have guns, they could fight this. Knowing the people have guns keeps the government in check.Jan 29 2013: Thanks Kate and everyone. Everyone has been more than fair, but remember that great progress has been made in advertising, propaganda, and mental manipulation. I think that is sad that so much individual thought in America isn't. Random I saw a replay of a guy from Bavaria using some of LaSalle's tecjmiques in a very evil way not long ago on the net. Okay, I am referring to Hitler which is not the point except to suggest that the modern techniques are so much more effective. During W II Gregory Bateson was trying to figure out if there was something special - There wasn't But now with Cialdini , talk shows, and NLP you can really get in someone's head. I still resent blowing around forty thousand dollars on advertising that didn't work, and I couldn't afford because a salesman did a take-a-way and I believed him. Now I know a bit about that kind of thing. How do you explain that to my fellow North Americans? I doubt that you can. I try to remind my fellow Texans that the average Texan killed in Picket's Charge didn't own anything relevant to the American Civil War, and that those who did didn't fight. This has always been going on in the world. What works a little? You trust politicians a great deal more than I. As long as those who pay for our political campaigns have agendas, It ;will get worse. Most Americans don't think as is true of most people. A comment on epistemology, physics, ot mathematics just irritates the average person.

2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
1 1/4 cups
packed brown sugar
1 1/4 cups
white sugar
1 cup
butter, softened
1 cup
creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
If I had more thumbs they would all be way, way up for this one. I was skeptical after reading other reviews, but decided to go with the recipe as is. The only thing I did different was added a small bag of semi-sweet chocolate chunks and a small bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. They are, as someone else described, an unusual consistancy before dropping onto pan. Very gooey and it did take the full 22 minutes...no matter how Narly they look at first. keep the balls/drops no bigger than a tablespoon as they do spread out like flat gobs of goo. In the last 7 minutes they miraculously take cookie form, it's amazing because they really do stay gooey looking for a while. I think if you turn the tempature up higher the dough edges will burn, so don't be tempted. a bit sweet, but what a perfect cookie. exactly what I was looking for and my male co-workers said they were orgasmic. The finished cookie looks just like a cookie you'ld buy at Mrs. Smiths in the mall. I won't be using any other peanut butter cookie recipe again. Thanks. P.S. If the peanut butter flavor isn't strong enough for you, it is mild, don't touch the recipe, I'd recommend just adding nuts or peanut butter chips. They stay soft & chewy longer than any cookies I've ever made. I made these twice now, and refridgerated the dough before baking the second time, much easier to ball, came out exactly the same. Yum!
These reviews are seriously entertaining. I just saw the main rating and made the cookies before reading all of the reviews. Had I read these first, I probably would not have made these. I actually followed the recipe to the T on the first pan...and they came out actually looking perfect, but tasting really bland...and they weren't at all chewy. I added 1/4 flour and 1/2 more peanut butter to what was left for the rest of the cookies and only cooked them for 15 mintues. AFter that, they were PERFECT!!!!! And NOW...after all of the changes, they can officially be called SOFT AND CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES.
411 Ratings
The first time i made these cookies they came out very flat, not too pretty but still had a good taste. I decided to make them again but this time added 1/4 c. more flour, a bit more peanut butter, chilled the dough, rolled them into tiny balls and did not press them with a fork....wow...after doing that they came out awesome! Few changes needed to satisfy my personal taste but it worked out because everyone loves them! Overall great recipe, thanks :)
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I've been looking for a cookie like this for years!! If you follow the directions and ingredients as written by Sarah, you will have THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES. Ever!
This is an excellent peanut butter cookie. I have tried several recipes looking for something that would produce a softer cookie. This is definitely a keeper! Make sure to follow the recipe exact and you will get flawless results.
This is the best recipe yet! I followed recipe expcept I refrigerated the dough for about 30 minutes. I used my Pampered Chef cookie scoop to create perfect sized balls. I rolled each ball in sugar. I baked them for about 19 minutes and pressed candied cherries in some, (husbands request) and hershey kisses in the rest. DELICIOUS! Moist and picture perfect! I disagree with others. I thought they had the perfect amount of pb.
This recipe is bad. The dough was not dough... more like pancake mix, and the cookies turned out just so. They stuck to the pan. I added 1 cup more flour and that did nothing. Wish I would have never tried these ones : (
The ingredients are way off on this recipe--3 eggs is too many for amount of flour, and the 1 1/4 each of white and brown sugar is really too much. Not a good recipe at all in my opinion. Not worth taking time to change it.

I wonder if anyone can advise me. I don't think my computer speed is very good but cannot see what to do to speed it up.
My machine has an AMD ATHLON 65 processor 3000+, I have just increased the RAM to 1 gig and I have a 2gig processor. I have windows XP home edition (SP2) loaded on it. I have broadband connection via o2 at (I think) 16meg speed and the system says I have an excellent broadband signal. I run McAfee software as it comes with the o2 broadband package and have stripped off all other firewall / SPAM bits and pieces other than the McAfee stuff. I regularly clean up the computer and have defragged it. The system scan hasn't shown up any viruses. I've reduced the number of things starting up at log-on (I hope to a minimum). The one thing I am uncertain about is being aware of what is running in the background and whether or not it's needed. I have uninstalled a number of programmes I'd added on over the months. I have only used about 28gig of hard-drive space with 124 gig remaining unused. Having said all that the problem is that I still have to wait a time for the system to download web pages. Sometimes I just give up it takes so long. People at work say our work's system is very slow compared to home - but mine is 2 or 3 times slower again. A friend solved his problem by increasing his RAM but when I increased mine the change was insignificant if any at all. My only other thought is to strip off my files (mainly photos) which I want to avoid becasue of the time ti'll trake to back up onto CD, and then reset the machine to factory settings. Does anyone have any advice on what else I might try? Thanks in advance. Nick

Toryn Gauntlet allows a hero to wield an additional weapon. Can another gauntlet be wielded? How about a third?

Yes, you can equip multiple Toryn Gauntlets to one hero, adding the benefits together. Note also that you do not add together the weights of the various weapons - each weapon's weight is compared to the hero's strength individually, so a hero of strength 2 could equip a gauntlet (weight 2, I believe - assume it's right for the example) and another weapon of weight 4 (2 strength from the hero base and 2 strength from the gauntlet).

When a woman leaves her abuser, the abuser goes through a process of emotions and behaviors that is quite predictable. This is the separation process:
At first, the abuser says such things as, "Go ahead and leave. I don't care. I've got lots of women after me. I don't need you."
Now the abuser shows his "anger". Abusers are no angrier than anyone else. Anger is a tool abusers use to gain and maintain control. If there are children in the family, for instance, he may claim his outrage is because the survivor is keeping the children from him and "I demand the right to see my kids!"
The abuser tries to hook the victim back into the relationship - and succeeds in more than a few cases. The abuser begins to court the survivor again, perhaps with a trip down memory lane: "Remember when we met?' "Remember when the baby was born?" He also promises to change: 'I'll quit drinking." "I'll get counseling." He won't discuss his choice to use abuse; he will talk only about past good times and the promise of good times to come. He says he wants her back.
He tells lies about the survivor to everyone who knows her. His goal is to isolate her socially and to wipe out any support she might have among friends and family. Many times, the woman does not know about the lies. One of the most common lies is that the woman was having an affair, a lie that he can use to justify his violent behavior.
Once he recognizes the survivor is not coming back to him, he renews his manipulative "anger". The victim may be in danger. The abuser is more likely to carry out threats he made during the relationship and earlier in the separation cycle.
If any of this applies to you see the Safety and Protection for more information on how to keep yourself and your children as safe as possible.

The stylus for artists, coming soon..
I've been absent from posting for a bit but i still always visit. Just wanted to let you guys/gals know that we're about to release an awesome stylus for capacitive touch screens like the iPad and iPhone:
More info at: http://plai.tv/blog.php?id=22&p=&search=
Re: The stylus for artists, coming soon..
Looks great! Thanks for the advanced notice. When will it be available, do you have a projected date? What are some of the features?
Daily Z
Re: The stylus for artists, coming soon..
Thanks Charles! The projected date is before the end of the month of November. The features are that it's the only stylus to work on capacitive touch screens that is made of wood. It has 0 drag so it easily glides over the surface of your screen. The front tip works from 40 to 160 degree angle. The back tip works from 0 to 40 degree angle. And finally we figured out a cool way for it to still work even if you have gloves on.
This is our baby step into making our electronic stylus. We'll be posting up more pics and videos in the following days, when we do I'll post the links here.
Re: The stylus for artists, coming soon..
This is great news. Many of us have been waiting for something like this. I've got my iPad and I'm ready.
Re: The stylus for artists, coming soon..
Will this work on current technology or new models only? I'm about to purchase a iPad and I want to make sure I can utilize this fully!
Re: The stylus for artists, coming soon..
Thank you for the kind words :]
This definitely works great on all the iPhone models, iPod touch models and the iPad. I'm not to sure how well it works on android devices. Once I get my hands on one I'll update our compatibility list. We posted some quick sketches on our blog (http://plai.tv/blog.php?id=23&p=&search=) using e.stylo:
I'll update with more info as it comes out, thanks again!

OUC - The Reliable One, The Darden Restaurants, Inc. Foundation, and Azur Solar USA Support Installation of Solar Panels That Will Produce 42,660 kWh of Electricity Annually
Orlando, FL - June 16, 2010 - The Orlando Science Center now has part of its facility being powered by the sun thanks to a new solar panel system. This system, recently installed on the Science Center's roof, is expected to produce about 42,660 kWh of electricity annually - enough to power about three homes. The solar panel installation is part of the Science Center's effort to increase its energy efficiency, decrease operational costs and serve as a community leader in the use of sustainable technologies.
In addition to the installation, educational experiences are currently being designed to engage guests in the science of solar power. The Science Center plans to use its facility as a showcase for sustainable technologies, including energy efficient lighting, high efficiency cooling, smart building controls and solar technology.
The installation was made possible by OUC - The Reliable One, The Darden Restaurants, Inc. Foundation, and Azur Solar USA. OUC's involvement is part of its organization's educational outreach program while Darden's reflects its commitment to education and sustainability. Like OUC, Azur Solar USA wanted to raise awareness of solar power as an alternative energy resource.
"The Orlando Science Center can show people how science is truly relevant by educating in a way that's colorful, understandable and fun," said Science President and CEO JoAnn Newman. "Thanks to OUC - The Reliable One, The Darden Restaurants, Inc. Foundation, and Azur Solar USA, we can provide opportunities to engage the public about sustainable technologies by illustrating their real world applications."
Tours, demonstrations and information will connect the public with the science behind sustainability. Through these experiences, guests will discover the positive impact of sustainable technologies and what that means for the Science Center's operations, the environment, the economy, and the consumer.
"The Orlando Science Center's use of solar energy can be a powerful educational tool to raise awareness about the need to create a more sustainable world," said Ian Olson, director of Sustainability for Darden. "Through our support, we hope to instill the same passion in others that we have for being good stewards of our natural resources."
"The Science Center solar array joins OUC's Gold LEED-certified Reliable Plaza in serving as a showcase for solar generation and a source of green power in Orlando," OUC Board President Katie Porta said. "The thousands of children who visit the Science Center each year will have the opportunity to learn about solar, and that's important because we know that if you can encourage sustainable habits in children, you can have a positive impact on our future."
The high efficiency PV system, engineered and installed by AZUR Solar USA, consists of specially coated PV panels that provide increased protection to the energy generating solar cells. The renewable energy will help reduce operating costs at the Science Center, and the panels are expected to remain in operation for 25 years. President and CEO of AZUR Solar USA Philip J. Riddle added, "We are very proud to be a partner in the educational aspect of this project."
The Science Center is pursuing U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for its facility. LEED is a certification program and nationally accepted benchmark for the operation of high performance eco-friendly buildings. These enhancements will help the Science Center move toward this certification due to the estimated reduction in energy consumption. Once it is secured, the Science Center will be one of only dozens of Central Florida buildings with this designation.
"It is very important to us that these new enhancements serve an educational, as well as an operational, purpose," said JoAnn Newman, President and CEO of the Orlando Science Center. "We want to educate people about these valuable technologies and then inspire them to do what they can to become more energy efficient."

Doi Saket Discovery
Tour Overview :
Doi Saket Discovery (45km)
The excursion is a well planned route, on peaceful roads and through beautiful parks. Participants are taken to areas where it looks like time has stood still.
The first surprise awaits us only 30 minutes away. Together with our bicycles we board a boat at the Ping River that brings us to the northern part of Chiang Mai. Here we get back on dry land at a farmhouse, where we have an herb juice and some fresh fruit before continuing our cycling trip.
This day brings us to the rural life of the Chiang Mai province, and we see various agricultural activities.
The route goes along the rice fields, passing by beautiful temples and local villages.
Throughout the whole day we enjoy the ever changing scenery.
Also, a visit to a rice mill let us be surprised about how this remarkable machine works.
While cycling over rural country roads, we arrive at our restaurant. "It is time for a delicious lunch on the waterside overlooking the rice fields.
Recharged after lunch we continue our route on peaceful country roads passing by a natural reservoir and a teak forest until we arrive at the Mae Kuang Dam. Here we have a refreshment and enjoy the beautiful view.
The nearby school is pleased when we honor them with a visit. This gives the children the chance to practice their English with you.
After this visit we cycle to the Doi Saket temple, located at the top of the hill.
This temple is the social centre of the village and has activities almost all the time.
Here our transport for the way back is also waiting for us. While the bikes are loaded, you have some time to walk around the local market. The tour ends approximately at 17:30.
突出 :
Rice fields, Doi Saket temple, local school, boat trip, Mae Kuang Dam, country side roads.

Like to water ski,
My shop is 38 wide x 40' deep with a 16' ceiling.
I built 2 overhead cranes with hand pull bridges, I suffered for years without cranes.
I used to think having cranes could only be a pipe dream but building them wasnt all that expensive.
They are 2 ton each and the cost not including the footings was about
$ 16,000
As far as the shop goes scale your shop on a large poster board, cut all your tables, welder, steel racks and trucks out of more paper to the same scale.
You can then arrange them around your shop.
I also put pallet racking down each side of the shop and was able to weld the top of the outside leg to my runway beams letting me remove the lower portion of the outside leg. This gave me alot of storage.
Good luck, Your building a good size building.
Results 11 to 19 of 19

I'm in the same situation as you ski, I moved into my shop a year ago march and I'm still trying to figure out what works best. It's very much a personal preferance thing as I've been looking at everyones shop trying to find something I like. So far I've probably moved things around 4 times.

I remember a bud coming in one time and says, "move that damm drill press" Finally occurred to me it wasn't cemented in and didn't have to be there. I have it all on wheels or movable with pallet jack, almost anything could be changed at any time.

One of the first thoughts I had was some benches along the walls, I am glad I got away from that idea before investing in it. Wall space is for tool and storage, I like fab benches out where they can be walked around and the rest of it on carts. One mistake I made, while I did run a rod to ground bar for benched to sit on I didn't stub up a conduit for 120 power, I cut groove after the fact and added to it. Drop down cord or another one on the floor was a continuous hassle, always in the way.

From the past
Here are a few of mine from the past. Please note that these are pictures when new.
My welding bench is on rollers so I can move it about.
This is the welding corner. Notice a hood in the corner vented to the outside.
I like good ventilation and here is my ventilated roof. A five hp fan powers it.
I rebuilt this Scotchman from the ground up. It is a very handy machine.
I have more pictures. The shop has progressed since then.

With the first day of summer right around the corner, you're probably spending a lot more time in the great outdoors with your furry friends. And more time outside means more dirty dogs! But we're here to help. Check out our top tips on how to groom your pet.
• Regular grooming with a brush or comb will help keep your pet's hair in good condition by removing dirt, spreading natural oils throughout her coat, preventing tangles and keeping her skin clean and irritant-free.
• When bathing your dog, always use a mild shampoo that's safe to use on dogs.
• Get your dog used to having her feet touched before you attempt a nail trim. Rub your hand up and down her leg and then gently press each individual toe—and be sure to give her lots of praise and some food treats as you do this.
• Remove wax and dirt from your pet's ears with a cotton ball moistened with water or a little mineral oil.
• Try to make grooming as enjoyable as possible. Grooming sessions should always be fun, so be sure to schedule them when your dog's relaxed, especially if she's the excitable type. And pile on the praise and offer your pooch a treat when the session is finished!
Need more tips? Read our Grooming 101: Clean Pets Are Happy Pets for all the straight talk about grooming cats, dogs and even birds. And while you're at it, be sure to check out our brand-new partnership with "the people against dirty"—Method. This cruelty-free brand never tests any of its products on animals, or uses animal by-products, and makes products that are safe for cleaning up after your pets. Plus, for a limited time, Method and their friends at Soap.com are donating 15% of all sales of Method products on their websites to the ASPCA.
So get shopping, and maybe pick up a few summer staples while you're at it: Soap.com has a special offer for ASPCA supporters who are also first-time shoppers!
Do you have an artist's touch, or maybe just a knack for drawing four-legged superheroes? In either case, we want to see your best sketch! In honor of Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, the ASPCA has teamed up with t-shirt designers Threadless.com to launch a nationwide contest for the best feline superhero t-shirt design.
That's right: no ordinary kitty drawings, please! We're looking for designs that feature cats with supernatural powers. If your design is chosen, you'll receive an amazing gift bag, including a $500 Threadless.com gift code and two tickets to the ASPCA's annual Young Friends benefit event in NYC!
Whether your kitty will leap tall buildings in a single bound, turn invisible or have the strength of 12 German weasels—we can't wait to see. To enter the contest, visit Threadless.com today!
A little kitten named Pepper joined his new family during Canyon County Animal Shelter's kick-off weekend event.
Last weekend 49 shelters nationwide got the 2013 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge off to a great start with adoption events, extended hours and thousands of animals' lives saved—more than 2,400 in total!
During kick-off weekend, the shelters demonstrated that they're working to save more animals than ever before. Here are some highlights from the shelters that broke their own adoption records over the weekend:
• City of Hesperia Animal Control and Services reported that on Saturday, June 1, they experienced more pet adoptions than on any single day in the organization's history.
• City of Corpus Christi Animal Care Services saw more adoptions in one day than in the past five years for the entire month of June. Wow!
• The Animal Foundation (Las Vegas) adopted out more than twice as many cats during kick-off weekend as it did during the first weekend of June 2012.
And we can't help but share some of the heartwarming photos the competing shelters posted throughout the weekend's festivities.
We're thrilled by all of the successes the competing shelters experienced during kick-off weekend, and we can't wait to follow all the contestants during the rest of the three-month competition. Stay tuned for all the action to come!
In March, the ASPCA assisted local law enforcement, the FBI and the Missouri State Highway Patrol in a multistate dog fighting investigation that resulted in the seizure of nearly 100 animals from multiple locations in Missouri, Kansas and Texas. Since then, an ASPCA team has been working around the clock to care for the rescued animals. We've also been fighting for justice.
That's why we're pleased that yesterday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kansas, Pete Davis Jr., 38, and Melvin Robinson, 42, each pleaded guilty to one count of transporting dogs to participate in animal fighting. The charges carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison, and sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 9. Charges for a defendant in Texas are pending.
As a result of the hearing, dogs seized from the defendants' properties in Missouri will be signed over to the ASPCA. We will explore placement options with various rescue groups. Dogs placed with ASPCA response partner shelters after this hearing will be the second group from the case to be placed for adoption.
Dog fighting is a felony in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Please help us stop this barbaric form of cruelty and all others. Together we can save animals from lives of cruelty and abuse.
Stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more information on this case. Follow the conversation on Twitter with hashtag #3StateRaid.
The ASPCA works hard to ensure that there are good laws on the books to protect animals across the country. But we can't do it without the grassroots advocacy of our dedicated ASPCA supporters!
The most powerful way for animal advocates to help reshape our laws is through lobbying their legislators directly. We help you do that by hosting Lobby Days, where we invite passionate citizens like you to be trained by our advocacy experts and make your voices heard at your state Capitol.
So far in 2013, we have been joined by over 2,000 incredible advocates at 29 state Lobby Days. These citizen lobbyists include people from all backgrounds and all levels of advocacy experience, and collectively they made an enormous impact on animal protection, helping to pass bills into law in Maryland (establishing a first-of-its-kind statewide spay/neuter program), Texas (a gas chamber ban), New York (increased penalties for killing a police animal) and New Jersey (a ban on inhumane gestation crates).
And we're not done yet—our 30th Lobby Day of the year is in Sacramento, CA, and kicks off in less than two weeks! If you're a Californian, register to join us!
Be part of history and make real change for our animals—join our ASPCA Advocacy Brigade. Sign up now, and ask your friends and family to join, so you'll never miss out on the next Lobby Day, grassroots training or opportunity to take action. Together, we are unstoppable!

This amazing DVD features Major League Baseball's official World Series films from 1992 and 1993, with the full story of each series and all the action from Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, and Skydome in Toronto. All the moments from the memorable 1992 series are here: from Tom Glavine's 4-hitter and Damon Berryhill's game-winning blast in Game 1; to Ed Sprague's rescuing blast off Jeff Reardon in Game 2; to Devon White's wall-slamming catch (and near triple play) in Game 3; to the tight 2-1 Game 4 victory that gave Toronto a 3-1 series lead; to Lonnie Smith's grand slam in Game 5 to push the series back to Atlanta; to the dramatic 11-inning thriller in Game 6, capped off by Dave Winfield's RBI double and Otis Nixon's bunt attempt falling one step short.
From the 1993 series, you get all the key moments from the Phillies-Jays grudge match: Al Leiter's bases-loaded strikeout of John Kruk to help preserve an 8-5 Toronto victory in Game 1; Lenny Dykstra's heroics in Game 2; Paul Molitor's hitting dominance as first baseman in Game 3; Toronto's unforgettable, bizarre, ridiculous, and thoroughly entertaining 15-14 comeback victory in Game 4; Curt Schilling's 5-hit shutout in Game 5; and, of course, the most memorable moment of them all, Joe Carter's bottom-of-the-9th, come-from-behind, three-run homer off Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams to end the series and touch off bedlam across Canada once again.
Impossible to find in stores, here is your chance to add a rare piece of baseball history to your sports DVD collection. With stars and legends like David Justice, Ron Gant, Terry Pendleton, Deion Sanders, John Smoltz, Darren Daulton, Roberto Alomar, Kelly Gruber, Rickey Henderson, 1992 series MVP Pat Borders, Jimmy Key, John Olerud, Jack Morris, David Cone, Dave Stewart, and Tom Henke, this DVD gives you the ultimate look at baseball greatness in the early 1990s.

How can I set a video background in iMovie? I have a video and the background is black. How can i change it to white in iMovie?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The black background is just because black is the absence of any other image there. You can make a white jpeg photo with Photoshop or Inkscape or whatever program you have, insert it as a frame, and then it's white. Then you can drag title text onto that white image.
You can also drag title text as a new clip, and then it gives you an option of various backgrounds (including white).
For the rest of the video, well, you see video as the background, not any color.
If you want more control of layers and opacity and backgrounds and such, you may want to consider a step up to Final Cut Pro.

Producers have put a few unique twists in vocal competition show The Voice, starting with the fact that its judges -- country star Blake Shelton and pop singers Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine -- aren't judges, but coaches.
Here's another: Said coaches aren't hiding up in their ivory judging towers, but getting down in the trenches with the performers and, well, performing.
Ahead of the show's premiere -- Tuesday, April 26 at 8 p.m. Central on NBC -- the Voice folks have shared a teaser video that features all four coaches teaming up on "Crazy," from Green's band Gnarls Barkley. (Another twist: Maroon 5 singer Levine is on drums.)

Regionalism: Reacting to the Modern
|• Introduction
|• New Mexico
|• Southern Agrarians
|• Introduction
|• New Mexico
|• Southern Agrarians
After World War I, many artists and intellectuals saw the diversity of America's regions as worthy of exploration and celebration. They also often felt they had found, in regional traditions, a way to combat the nation's industrialization and commercialization, and an antidote to the emerging desires of mass consumption promoted by advertising and Hollywood.
The artists and intellectuals who shared this belief, collectively known as "regionalists", saw the region as "the means toward a richer, freer, and more humane way of life," represented by the diverse cultures maintained by groups of individuals removed from the modern metropolitan centers. Regionalists hoped to provide the framework for a utopian balance among small cities, a revitalized rural economy, and rich wilderness areas. In light of these views, regionalism can be seen as an important stage in the development of contemporary conservationism, preservationism, and environmentalism.

#12 Mississippi State completes sweep of Buccaneer Baseball with 11-4 victory
Sunday, March 02, 2003STARKVILLE, Miss. (Mar. 2, 2003) - East Tennessee State put four runs on the board against #12 Mississippi State on Sunday, but the Bulldog bats were too much for the Buccaneers as MSU defeated ETSU, 11-4, from Dudy Noble Field from Starkville, Miss. For the third consecutive game, Mississippi State put multiple runs on the board early, scoring six times in the first two innings. Bulldog starter Todd Nicholas held the Bucs scoreless in the first two frames, as the Bucs stranded five runners on base. ETSU broke through to score their first run in the third. Junior outfielder Bo Calloway (Knoxville, Tenn.) singled to lead off the inning and advanced to second on a wild pitch. After moving to third on a fielder's choice by freshman catcher Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.), Calloway would cross the plate on a fielder's choice by freshman designated hitter Beau Alford (Johnson City, Tenn.). The Bucs had an opportunity to put more runs on the board, but left the bases loaded. After going scoreless in the bottom of the third, the Bulldogs put the game out of reach by tallying five runs in the next four innings. The Buccaneers scored two runs in the top of the sixth as sophomore shortstop Justin Clear (LaFollette, Tenn.) scored on a double by sophomore outfielder Kevin Brotherton (Erwin, Tenn.) and junior second baseman Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) crossed the plate on a ground out by senior first baseman Chad Boruff (Knoxville, Tenn.). East Tennessee State put their final run on the board in the top of the seventh as junior outfielder Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) was hit by a pitch, stole second, and scored on a single by Howdeshell. Freshman pitcher Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) was charged with the loss for the Bucs, running his record to 1-1. He pitched four innings, allowing seven earned runs on 10 hits. Jamie Gant (1-0) picked up the victory for Mississippi State, pitching the fifth inning and allowing two walks and striking out two Bucs. Howdeshell went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI for the Bucs. Brotherton, Boruff and Alford also drove in runs on the afternoon, while Calloway, Clear and Turner also scored runs. Second baseman Tyler Scarbrough led the Bulldogs, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI. Center fielder Joseph Hunter also went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI. First baseman Matthew Brinson led MSU with three hits on the day. East Tennessee State returns to the diamond on Wednesday at 2 p.m. when they face another SEC opponent, Kentucky, from Cliff Hagan Stadium in Lexington, Ky. The Bucs will return home on Thursday to play William and Mary at 3 p.m. from Cardinal Park in Johnson City.

Test ID: PLP
Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (PLP), Plasma
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Determining vitamin B6 status, including in persons who present with progressive nerve compression disorders, such as carpal tunnel and tarsal tunnel syndromes
Determining the overall success of a vitamin B6 supplementation program
Diagnosis and evaluation of hypophosphatasia
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Vitamin B6 is a complex of 6 vitamers: pyridoxal, pyridoxol, pyridoxamine, and their 5'-phosphate esters. Due to its role as a cofactor in a number of enzymatic reactions, pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) has been determined to be the biologically active form of vitamin B6.
Vitamin B6 deficiency is a potential cause of burning mouth syndrome and a possible potentiating factor for carpal tunnel and tarsal tunnel syndromes. Persons who present chronic, progressive nerve compression disorders may be deficient in vitamin B6 and should be evaluated. Vitamin B6 deficiency is associated with symptoms of scaling of the skin, severe gingivitis, irritability, weakness, depression, dizziness, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures. In the pediatric population, deficiencies have been characterized by diarrhea, anemia, and seizures.
Markedly elevated PLP in conjunction with low levels of pyridoxic acid are observed in cases of hypophosphatasia, a disorder characterized by low levels of alkaline phosphatase and a range of skeletal abnormalities.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
5-50 mcg/L
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Levels for fasting individuals falling in the range of 3 to 30 mcg/L for pyridoxic acid (PA) and 5 to 50 mcg/L for pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) are indicative of adequate nutrition.
The following are interpretative guidelines based upon PLP and PA results:
If PLP is >100mcg/L; or -If PLP is >100 mcg/L and PA is < or =30, the increased pyridoxal 5-phosphate is suggestive of hypophosphatasia. Consider analysis of serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes (ALKI / Alkaline Phosphatase, Total and Isoenzymes, Serum) and urinary phosphoethanolamine (AAPD / Amino Acids, Quantitative, Random, Urine).
-If PLP is >100 mcg/L and PA is 31 to 100 mcg/L; or PLP is 81 to 100 mcg/L and PA is < or =30 mcg/L, the increased pyridoxal 5-phosphate is likely related to dietary supplementation; however a mild expression of hypophosphatasia cannot be excluded. Consider analysis of serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes (ALKI / Alkaline Phosphatase, Total and Isoenzymes, Serum) and urinary phosphoethanolamine (AAPD / Amino Acids, Quantitative, Random, Urine).
-If PLP is 51 to 80 mcg/L or PLP is 81 to 100 mcg/L and PA is >30; or PLP is >100 mcg/L and PA is >100 mcg/L, the elevated pyridoxal 5-phosphate is likely due to dietary supplementation.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Reference ranges were established using healthy fasting volunteers who abstained from vitamin supplementation for 24 hour prior to draw. Vitamin supplementation and non-fasting may result in elevated plasma vitamin concentrations.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature
