No matter which side prevails, this year's grueling presidential race looms as a milestone in the struggle for power between, and within, the two parties.
For Democrats, President Obama's bid for a second term is likely to stand as an irreversible tipping point in their transformation from a New Deal coalition centered on working-class and older whites to a 21st-century alignment of young people, minorities, and white-collar whites, especially women. "This should put the foot down on the accelerator in terms of the transition," says Ruy Teixeira, an expert on demographics and politics at the liberal Center for American Progress.
For Republicans, even if Mitt Romney triumphs, November could represent the last attempt to squeeze out a national majority almost entirely from white voters in a country rapidly growing more diverse. "Too many of the party apparat and too many of the powerful subgroups are much more connected to nostalgia than they are to modern demographics," says longtime GOP consultant Mike Murphy. "I hear people talking about [Ronald] Reagan all the time, which is wonderful. But sometimes I imagine they are competing in a America that demographically no longer exists."
These parallel changes are rooted in long-term social forces that are simultaneously increasing the population of Democratic-leaning minorities (especially Hispanics) and Republican-leaning white seniors (as the giant baby-boom generation moves into retirement); reducing the electorate's share of blue-collar whites, now the most reliably Republican group of voters; and tilting the population of college-educated whites toward women, another Democratic-leaning constituency. These shifts have presented the parties with almost mirror-image problems. While Romney is struggling to dent the Democratic dominance of the steadily growing nonwhite population, Obama is straining to maintain even 40 percent support from white voters, and in November he could post the weakest showing among blue-collar whites of any Democratic nominee since Walter Mondale got buried by Reagan's 1984 landslide.
Win or lose, the result seems destined to divide the country closely enough to raise difficult questions for both sides. The fact that Romney, in most scenarios, can hope at best for a narrow win, despite Obama's weakness among whites—and despite levels of economic dislocation that typically dooms incumbents—testifies to the demographic limits of the GOP's current coalition. "Even [if] Romney does in fact get the white vote at the level [he needs] … and is able to win the presidency with that, he will be the last Republican candidate that will do that," says Steve Schmidt, the chief strategist for John McCain's 2008 campaign. "The demographics of the country even four years from now will be such that that will be an impossibility."
Conversely, the fact that Obama continues to face so much resistance among blue-collar and older whites while running against a multimillionaire opponent who has committed to transforming Medicare underscores the depth of disaffection from Democrats among the groups that anchored their electoral coalition from Franklin Roosevelt through Lyndon Johnson. Obama's success at expanding his support among blue-collar whites in several Midwestern states only partially qualifies that verdict.
In the long run, the most powerful demographic trends will continue to benefit Democrats, at least at the presidential level. But that advantage will be offset if Democrats can't sustain more support from whites, especially when the party holds unified control in Washington and can implement its agenda, as Obama did during his first two years in the White House. Democrats may now need fewer whites to win a national majority, but Obama is laboring to clear even that lowering bar, especially since the surge toward Romney after the first presidential debate.
In combination, the stark class, generational, and—above all—racial fissures now shaping American politics have produced a closely divided and volatile electorate that has stubbornly refused to provide either party with a lasting advantage, arguably since the Reagan era, and voters next week may again divide almost exactly in half. "A political system in which one party is the party of white America and the other party is the party of minority America is a political system that is structured for polarization," says veteran Democratic analyst William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "It's a political system that locks us into an endless continuation of what we've seen."
The GOP dominated five of the six presidential elections from 1968 to 1988 so thoroughly that analysts spoke of a Republican "lock" on the White House. Over those six campaigns, Republicans won the popular vote five times, engineered two of the most one-sided landslides ever (in 1972 and 1984), averaged 417 Electoral College votes, and held Democrats to an average of just 43 percent of the popular vote.

Pilgrims and Turkey Candle Set
Continue a Tradition with Our Pilgrims and Turkey Candle Set
Pilgrims and Turkey Candle Set
Continue a Tradition with Our Pilgrims and Turkey Candle Set
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Pilgrims and Turkey Candle Set …
"My Mom just sent me these candles since I was always fascinated with the originals when I was a kid in the 70s (yes, she still has them). Now it would be great if you included the Indians that were part of the set too!" - Tricia, Valparaiso, IN
"I have memories of these very candles and they were passed down, well last year my dippy brother used them during a hurricane no more tradition. It was a sad end but maybe if I can this year I will buy another set." - Ricky, Satsuma, FL
"Oh my, they are just like the ones my grandma had for years. I still have them, except for the turkey. She didn't have much in the way of decorations, but she loved candles (unlit) to put on the Thanksgiving table and the honeycomb turkey centerpiece. It was such a thrill to find them when we cleaned out her house six years ago. They grace my table now. I also have the little Halloween witch too. They still have the paper tag on the bottoms, 15 cents each!!! I love the fact you reproduced them, and I'm getting a set for my daughter." - Karen, Manteo, NC
"I can remember buying an original set with my mom at Woolworth's in the early 60s. She has taken excellent care of them and each year brings them out of the cabinet at Halloween to display! I am so excited to now have an extra set. Thanks for allowing this tradition to continue." - Kim, Bowling Green, KY
"Could not believe it when I opened this email. I have the originals of these three candles. Every Thanksgiving I put them out. They are a little worse for wear. I am ordering 3 sets of these candles, as they mean a lot to my 2 daughters, too. They will be so thrilled Christmas morning when they receive them." - Rosemary Lloyd, Amenia, NY
"I so remember these as I STILL have the set from the newly married days of 1960 & they are now in a glass curio cabinet. As we all enjoy each "turkey" time we take them out & enjoy the memories... So nice to see that the customers can still obtain them–thanks!" - Jean, Milford, MA
"I was born on the Sunday before Thanksgiving in 1958. My mother was given the Pilgrim and Turkey Candles and a small cornucopia with her dinner on Thanksgiving Day in the hospital. Of course she brought them home and put them out every Thanksgiving when I was growing up. I still have the originals, but I'm so glad to be able to buy "new" ones to celebrate my Thanksgiving week birthday." - Jean, Yorktown Heights, NY
"I can remember having these candles on our family table on Thanksgiving when I was a little girl...over 50 years ago...and when I saw that you had recreated them, I was filled with happy memories, and I had to have a set to share with my children and grandchildren." - Kimberly Morrow, Peru, IN
"I am so glad you are bringing these back. As a child I remember seeing them on the table at Thanksgiving, and it brings back wonderful memories for me! I plan to buy a set! Now my Thanksgiving table will be complete! Thanks for the memories!!" - Marlene Ansley, Clarksburg, MA
"I have the two pilgrims as yet..from MANY years ago.I just put them out last week with my TG decorations. I use them each year..and have for a long time." - Mary, Appleton, WI
"For some reason, this year above other years, I've been quite nostalgic over special events from when I was a young girl. Seeing these candles reminds me of the festive table my Mom always set for Thanksgiving. We used colorful orange plates, the "for-good" cloth napkins, and these adorable candles at each place setting. I loved these then and I love seeing them now. Thanks for keeping old traditions alive!" - Nathelle Gross, Sagle, ID
"I fondly remember the pilgrims on the dining room table during Mom & Dad's many family Thanksgiving meals. During our estate sale, my brother asked to keep them since he and his wife have many of the holiday dinners now. I was very happy that he took them. Now I want to start a new 'tradition,' and I'm buying a set for our daughter. Family traditions are very important to 'pass on.' Thank you for this fond memory of our family Thanksgiving dinners." - Rhonda, Clinton Twp., MI
"I was looking online at your Thanksgiving items. There were my Pilgrim Set, the girl, boy, and the turkey that I have had for just about 40 years. On the bottom of each, the cost is 15 cents and it says they were made at the Gurley Candle Co in Buffalo, NY. I use them every Thanksgiving, never having burned them. What a delightful surprise!!" - Sylvia, Upatoi, GA
"This is a wonderful memory from my childhood and is still wonderful today....I love them very much....." - GAYLE HANSON, HILLIARD, OH
"The Gurley Candles I remember so well from my youth: the Pilgrim couple and the turkey, the Indian chief, the Indian brave and his wife; the angel baby in the moon, Santa and his elves, the skating snowman, the snowman with a broom, the laughing Santa, a Christmas lamppost, the blond praying angel, the carolers; the yellow Easter rabbit in his top hat, the pink birdhouse bird, the Easter-scene egg with a white bunny inside, the Easter lily, the saucy little smiling bunny; the Halloween witch, the orange cat on a black fence, the wise old owl, the pumpkin-head man, the hollow jack-o'-lantern with the little orange candle inside, the little ghosts carrying pumpkins . . . all these I still have today. Each was 15 cents from Gurley. Every holiday of the year in my life celebrated with little candles. Each was carefully wrapped for the next season and cherished, even as some inevitably lost their shape in the heat of the desert. My newer reproductions are treated just as tenderly to last a lifetime." - Elisa Michaels, Tucson, AZ
"I am so very happy to see these wonderful Thanksgiving candles - the pilgrim girl, boy, and turkey. My Mom and Dad had the set with the Indian and the boat. I have found several different ones at garage sales and several resale shops, and have rejoiced at the memories. Thank you for bringing all these memories back to everyone who has a set or will be purchasing a set. Thank you again. I also have the candles with the leaves and acorns." - Angela, Unity, WI

Sorry for the strange previous response. I typed it on my phone, so it's a bit weird. . I forgot to address some of your questions :
- For the input field I probably forgot to use the specified fontsize and color. I'll fix that.
- About 4, I'll give you a way to enumerate what is available inside the objects. Until that you can watch in the database too : anything that's available as a string in the DB is available via getArgValue. There are some properties that are deduced like rpath and rdirectory but there are only a few.

About Me
- Lola Sharp
- My name is Lola. (I'm not a showgirl) Yes, L-O-L-A Lola. It's the least of my worries. Let's move on, shall we? This blog is mostly about my misadventures on the journey to publication and beyond. My passion for lush prose, quirky characters, art, music, literature, performing arts and anything creative will be a major theme here. This journey of mine will not always be pretty. Much like rubbernecking a train wreck, I know sometimes you just can't help but look at the carnage that is often my life. So strap on your neck brace, helmet and 5-point harness and come along for the ride! Licentia poetica.

Hematuria is the presence of red blood cells (RBCs) in the urine. Often, the urine appears normal to the naked eye, but examination under a microscope shows a high number of RBCs. In gross hematuria, the urine is red or the color of cola, which can be seen with the naked eye.
Most of the causes are not serious; in some cases, strenuous exercise will cause blood in the urine, which usually goes away in a day. Other, more serious causes include tumors, kidney disease, infections, or an injury. Many people have hematuria without having any other related problems. Many people have hematuria without having any other related problems. To determine the cause of hematuria, or to rule out certain causes, a series of tests may be ordered.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for hematuria may include the following:
Urinalysis. Laboratory examination of urine for various cells and chemicals, such as RBCs, white blood cells, infection, or excessive protein.
Blood tests. Laboratory examination of blood for high levels of waste products.
Intravenous pyelogram (IVP). A series of X-rays of the kidney, ureters, and bladder with the injection of a contrast dye into the vein. This is done to detect tumors, abnormalities, kidney stones, or any obstructions, and to assess renal blood flow.
Cystoscopy (also called cystourethroscopy). An examination in which a scope, a flexible tube and viewing device, is inserted through the urethra to examine the bladder and urinary tract for structural abnormalities or obstructions, such as tumors or stones.
Specific treatment for hematuria will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Underlying cause of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
If you experience blood in your urine that lasts more than a day, tell your health care provider, especially if you have unexplained weight loss, discomfort with urination, frequent urination, or urgent urination.

Diminutive breeds are a perfect choice for small, or hobby farms. Miniature farm animals mature at one-half or one-third the size of standard breeds, tend to be more family-friendly, and some (but not all) require less care and maintenance than their full-size relatives (not to mention, they're adorable!). Here are a few for your inspection.
Mini-Moos (Miniature Bovines)
Modern mini-bovines are descendants of 18th and 19th-century stock, but with many breeds averaging under 600 pounds and standing less than 42 inches tall at the hip, these cows are bred to be smaller than their ancestors.
- Temperament: From shy and retiring to extroverted and attention-seeking. Their size makes them less intimidating to children; a 7 year-old can milk a trained and docile mini-dairy cow.
- Benefits: Milk production of 4 to 5 gallons per day, plus cream, and if you are willing to make it, butter, cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt.
- Care and feeding: Cows require roaming around the pasture, eating grass, and sun-bathing. For a mini-milker, figure on at least half an acre. She will need a barn or shed for milking, feeding, and shelter. Expect to give her about 25 pounds of hay, 2 pounds of grain, and 6 gallons of water on average per day while milking.
- Friendly Advice: A mini-moo requires as much work as a standard-breed cow.
Awesome Oxen
Dexter, Hereford, Longhorn, Jersey, Lowline (mini-Angus) and Zebu are the most popular breeds. A mini-Zebu weighs 200 to 500 pounds, while mini-Dexters and -Herefords come in at about 1,000 pounds.
- Appeal: Used in non-mechanical farming and appearances at parades, fairs, historical events, and 4-H and farm shows.
- Temperament: Usually calm and patient; highly intelligent: can learn a variety of tasks.
- Benefits: A team can haul hay, water, firewood, manure, cleared brush, or gathered leaves.
- Care and feeding: A mature ox requires about an acre of pasture in the growing seasons and about 30 pounds of hay per day in winter, plus 3 pounds of mixed feed per working day. Provide a dry shelter for sleep and relief from the cold.
- Friendly advice: A mini-steer calf is twice the price of a standard breed, on average. Allow time every day for about a year to train a team.
Petite Poultry
Properly called bantams, these can be less than half the weight and size of standard-breed chickens, on average; some hens way less than a pound. Bantams can be plainly or wildly decorative, with feathers on their legs and feet and sweeping tails. Many standard chicken breeds have a bantam equivalent, and there are also a few "true bantam" breeds, such as Dutch and Sebright, without a corresponding larger breed.
- Appeal: Some chicken owners find that watching their tiny flock's behavior relaxes and cheers them.
- Temperament: Bantams are big chickens in small packages. Some are friendly, even flying to their owner's arm or hand. Others are wild.
- Benefits: Bantam eggs are about half the size of standard-breed chicken eggs and are just as useful. Hens devour grubs, grasshoppers, and other pests, and their droppings make an excellent compost ingredient.
- Care and feeding:For a flock of six hens, plan on a 6 by 6-foot hen house, with nest boxes, room to roost, and heat in the winter, if necessary, plus an outdoor pen or run, covered to help protect them from prey. Hens need fresh food and water daily, and someone must collect the eggs. Roosters are unnecessary, unless you're breeding. One hen will eat 1 to 2 cups of feed per day. A flock will welcome trimmings from vegetables, but they will leave it to you to clean up their leftovers to avoid attracting flies.
- Friendly advice: Snakes, weasels, hawks, dogs, and other predators can easily decimate a flock. Bantams, like larger chickens, are susceptible to disease. Always wash your hands before and after handling chickens, for both their protection and yours.
Itty-Bitty Baaahs
Sheep qualify as miniatures if they are 19 to 24 inches in height. If they are under 19 inches they are called "toy" sheep.
- Appeal: Owners find them to be adorable, with some having the appearance of oversize stuffed animals.
- Temperament: Mini-sheep tend to be survivor types. With time, they can become friendly and tame.
- Benefits: The Cheviot and Babydoll Southdown breeds are relatively easy to care for and manage and produce a high return of milk, fleece, meat, and lambs.
- Care and feeding: If you plan to breed lambs, start with one ram and two ewes on 1 to 2 acres, fenced off into several sections to allow them to graze in rotation. Off pasture, the average mini-sheep will need about 15 pounds of hay per day. Provide an 8 by 8-foot shelter for safety at night and shade on summer days. A heater in winter is unnecessary.
- Friendly advice: The smaller the sheep, the more vulnerable it is to predators.
Hobby Horses
Four centuries of selective breeding have created the miniature horse, an equine that stands up to 34 inches in height, weighs 150 to 250 pounds, on average, and is similar in proportion to a standard-size horse.
- Appeal: If large horses are intimidating and you can not or do not want to ride, minis are simply endearing.
- Temperament: Minis are intelligent and learn tasks easily. Most are bred to be docile and friendly.
- Benefits: Some owners drive their minis in front of a cart of small carriage or use them as pack animals for hiking or backpacking trips, since most can carry up to 70 pounds.
- Care and feeding: Two minis can graze comfortably on 1 acre. Even with pasture, give them at least a cup of grain twice a day. In winter, each needs 2 percent of its body weight in dry food per day—on average, that's 4 pounds of hay. Provide a dry, wind-resistant, run-in, 8 by 12-foot shelter. Most minis grow thick winter coats and will play happily outside, even in snow. A stall heater is unnecessary, even in the coldest areas.
- Friendly advice: A mini-horse is not a puppy. Learn about horses and prepare to spend time working with yours.
Did you know? In the United States in 1992, there were 554,207 farms of from 1 to 19 acres. By 2002, that number had grown to 743,118.

Instant Text Overview
Instant Text is a text expander for anyone who can benefit from it - medical transcriptionists, translators, legal secretaries, technical writers, etc. It costs 189.00 per user. It is very worth the price. One can order it and try it for 30 days; if not for you, the CD can be returned for a full refund. It works in most Windows programs and now also works in WP5.1 for DOS, although adding words and phrases to your glossary quickly does not work the way it does in Windows. (In Windows, you select your phrase, hit Alt + =, and it is added. The short form is filled in for you, first letter of each word, so that you just need to hit Enter. You can, of course, change that short form if you want to. At this point, I believe that if using Instant Text in WP5.1 for DOS, because of clipboard differences, you need to actually enter it, or copy it another way. Since I don't use WP5.1, I'm not certain of the details. Anyway, if you're an AHK lover or ActiveWords lover, you can also automate selecting the phrase and hitting the Alt + = sign, such speed is delightful! I have scripts for automatically selecting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 words.
Most expanders work by the spacebar trigger. Instant Text will allow users to do this, but some of its most powerful features are disabled this way. It is best used with marker keys, which the user can choose. For instance, using the semicolon to trigger your phrases and another marker key, perhaps ], for your word expansions. There is a variety to choose from.
I will not go into every feature it has, only the most remarkable. You can do a glossary compilation, which means that, if you have a file folder with 50-200, or 50-1000 (any number, actually) documents you have typed for your boss, your lawyer or lawyers, your doctor or doctors, whatever, you can have Instant Text scan those documents and create a glossary for you, in a matter of a minute or so. To top that off, doing this compilation will now allow what they call continuations. Continuations are when you start off like this:
tineo=there is no evidence of - okay, you typed your short and expanded that phrase. Now, in the visual advisory screen, what comes often after that phrase is already there for you to see. I'm doing it right now, and listed there for me are possibilities. All I need do is select the proper one (if it isn't already the very first one), and hit my marker key, the semicolon, to expand the phrase. Below is a screenshot of what I see after expanding tineo. If you transcribe for a small group of people, the continuations you will get can be absolutely magnificent. I know, because I've had that situation. If you transcribe for hundreds, you won't get results that fantastic, but you will still get continuations. The way in which you do the settings during compilation has a lot to do with it.
Another feature is that I don't even have to type out the whole short form, though. Let's take one I have. The short is tieotv, the long is "there is enlargement of the ventricles." Instant Text has a "jump ahead" feature, and all I have to do is put in, say titv, and I still get the phrase to pop up. You really don't have to memorize with this program. You can hit a combination of letters that you think might be it.Â
It also has options that many other text expanders don't. It has an option to capitalize the first letter of sentences, no matter what application you're in. It has spacing options that you choose, to have it put two spaces after punctuation marks or one, whatever you prefer. (Or, you can set it not to do so, if you somehow prefer that.) It "understands" punctuation as you type, in other words. I expand a phrase and hit a comma, the space after the comma is already there. Whenever you expand a phrase, if you don't hit a punctuation mark, it has already spaced for you for the next word. I don't know what it's like to hit spacebar after period or anything else anymore. There is one defect, that of spacing after a number with a decimal, such as 1.5. Or, 3:30. I got the greatest AHK script a few months ago at the AHK forums, and now I actually set my spacing options to 0 in Instant Text and let that script take care of everything. There also are other ways to get around that number difficulty. One other thing about numbers, Instant Text will not let you start an abbreviation with a number. I would like that feature.Â
I know this is supposed to be a mini-review, so I will try to wrap it up. Which means I can't begin to cover all its features. But, the built-in importer it has is awesome. This makes it very easy for people using other expanders to almost instantaneously convert their abbreviations files to the Instant Text glossary format. It will convert Word AutoCorrect, Word AutoText, many other expander formats that are used primarily by transcriptionists, text files, Outlook addresses, certain DBF files. It also comes with a "Workshop" to let you manipulate your abbreviation files. You can export words, export words and phrases, remove duplicates, a lot more.
Because it has so many features, it has a bit more of a learning curve than most expanders out there. It is the best one, for me. I have tried several. It simply has the most features. The developer is constantly listening too, and making additions/improvements/upgrades.Â
Here's the continuation screenshot that I mentioned above:

Second Sunday Culture Films Series
Excavation (2011)
The small family farm in the Midwest has become exotic and peripheral to the majority of Americans who live on the coasts. In this highly personal essay, filmmaker Ellen Knechel's grandmother is moving out of her home as the family farm in Indiana begins closing down its operations. The question of what to keep, and what to leave behind, when the work of several lifetimes come to a close, is central to this subtle and poignant film. Knechel and Penn Museum film archivist Kate Pourshariati introduce the program, sponsored by Penn Cinema Studies. Free with Museum admission. For more information, visit www.penn.museum/culturefilms or call 215.898.2680.

Every fall, I get my flu shot. Every November, I get a wicked cold with flu-like symptoms—achy, mild fever, coughing, sneezing, sore throat. It's absolutely lovely. I recall Thanksgiving the year I was pregnant (and still not telling the public) with my son and had this damn sore throat and runny nose. At least it gave me an excuse to pass on drinking alcoholic beverages.
This year, the dreaded ailment hit me at the end of last week and stuck around through the weekend, even though I tried to head it off by popping Vitamin C, the chewable kind my kids now think is candy. My dear husband had to step up to the plate and take on all kid duties by his lonesome, while I crawled back into bed and tried to gather my strength for the NaNoWriMo Night of Writing Dangerously on Sunday. After my friends and family had generously donated to the cause, I was going. Plus, I'd raised enough funds to bring a guest, and I'd invited my writing group pal Jesse, who was counting on me being there. Double plus—I wanted to get my swag bag, dang nabbit!
Swag Bag. So cute, right?
So I took NyQuil. The family went out to birthday parties and playgrounds and gymnastics classes. I heard, through the fog of my phlegm-encased brain, the skirmishes between my daughter and her dad over homework. Every now and then, I rallied, ate some toast, and typed out the two freelance articles that were due. A deadline waits for no cold.
Sunday afternoon, fortified with Tylenol, I drove to downtown San Francisco, to the Julia Morgan Ballroom. NOWD-ers were dressed to the nines—the theme was "noir." My attempt to participate rather than hate was a gray knit cap with a crocheted flower. Jesse brought his jaunty leather satchel and dipped into the open bar for martinis.
I followed, ordering diet Cokes, my drink of choice when I'm down. The candy bar was like manna from heaven—Red Vines, caramels, coffee toffees, marshmallows—I tried to find things that would help my cough, but who am I kidding? It was all about the sugar. Dinner was a delicious smorg of kebabs, rice, potatoes, and salad, followed by cupcakes.
I tried my hand at the first Writing Sprint competition and wrote about 465 words in 15 minutes. Not bad, I thought. The winner of that round wrote 1,518 give or take. I decided Writing Sprints were not my thing.
Jesse and I'd found a table of nice folk from the Bay Area, and one from Denver (?) We had a window with a city view, but really, the glow of our laptops was the scene that demanded out attention. Some people wrote by hand. One had an old-timey manual typewriter. Not electric—manual. Classic black. Very Dorothy Parker. You could hear it clickity-clacking away over the sounds of music (sample: The Beatles: "Paperback Writer." Ha!).
The Candy Bar
Every time someone hit the 50,000-word mark, he or she rang a bell. The ballroom would erupt in cheers.
I went home that night, calling it in an hour before the end of the festivities—the sugar, caffeine, and acetaminophen wearing off—with a little over 3,000 new words pegged to my novel's word count.
This morning, I'm still a little light-headed. But I got the kids to school, and my husband got a little quiet time to himself, finally. That's November for you—colds, 50,000 words, and, pretty soon, pumpkin pie.
The laptops glow in the Julia Morgan Ballroom
Postscript: After writing the above this morning, I got a call from my son's preschool. Guess who has a fever?
November strikes again!

All Entries Tagged With: "Diversifying Your Retirement"
The New Diversification: Top Five Practical Actions for a More Dynamic & Diverse Portfolio
Markets aren't behaving the way they used to. Yes they have continued to appreciate and produce solid gains with both the Dow Jones Index and S&P 500 steadily rising over the past 18 months but they aren't the same markets that are parents once invested in. Gridlocked governments avoid the tough decisions. Public and private sectors seem unable to work together to find the real solutions. People who've spent their lives working, saving and planning – people who've done 'everything right' – are worried about their future.
The traditional mix of stocks and bonds no longer delivers returns you need. Volatility has fueled fear of owning stocks. Bonds no longer deliver. Yields are so low that most fixed income doesn't even protect from inflation. Yet, people need returns more than ever because they're living longer.
It's time to rewrite the rules of building your portfolio. BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK), the world's largest asset manager, believes tumultuous change brings opportunity and that investors must become more flexible at adapting to rapidly changing, hyper connected global markets in order to achieve returns that aren't consumed by inflation. They want today's short-term savers to become long-term investors and start investing more for retirement. 31% of American workers have saved nothing for retirement. As a result we have five practical actions that you can take for a more dynamic, diverse portfolio.
1. Rethink the Cost of Cash
Holding too much cash is no way to save. Cash will lose nearly half its purchasing power over the course of a 20-year retirement. You need strategies that go beyond cash.
2. Seek Income in Different Places
For income that beats inflation, investors have to consider new opportunities. Many companies that pay dividends deliver twice the yields of government bonds. For example, look for higher yields in emerging market sovereign debt. 50% of the world's GDP is now represented in emerging markets.
3. Open Your Eyes to Alternatives
Alternatives like long/short strategies, commodities, real estate and exchange traded funds (ETFs) have the potential to provide above-average returns and could reduce your risk because they're less likely to more in tandem with stocks and bonds.
4. Be Active About Passive
Use ETFs. They're an important building block and a low-cost way to gain access to a full range of asset classes and global markets. ETFs can be traded like stocks, so they allow you to easily adjust your portfolio when the need arises.
5. Use Your Longevity
Many people worry they'll outlive their income. But because we're going to live longer, we can expand our investment horizon well beyond the day we retire. 50-year-olds can look at 25-year time horizons – even 65-year-olds have the life expectancy to consider equities, commodities and alternatives to keep generating returns over the long term. Consider ways to keep your money working for you by using your longevity to ride out market cycles.

Reviews for Contest-Winning Caramel Apple Crisp
Sort By :
"I am not much of a baker so maybe I did something wrong with this recipe. I do however, make lots of baked oatmeal recipes both for breakfast and for dessert because of the lack of sodium they have. This just tasted like a baked oatmeal for breakfast to me and to my husband. Couldn't get enough whip cream on it to make it not seem dry. Once again, I didn't skip anything in the recipe but maybe I did something wrong."
"It was good, but I honestly expected better since it was contest winning. Not sure I would go thru the effort to make again."
"I don't often leave reviews but I was compelled to leave one for this recipe. I really don't know why this won anything. There was nothing "crisp" about this, more accurately it would be apple oatmeal mush. The flavor was "ok" but it sure doesn't do my apples or the caramel justice and it was a lot of work. I actually think that if you halved it, had one layer (apples on the bottom, crumb on top) and no added apple cider it might be better. The layering just makes it too much. Sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, just honest. I will not make again."
"I made this last week, and our family thought that it was good. I took the "thinly sliced" to heart and used my mandolin slicer. My slices were about 3/32 of an inch thick. I used Granny Smith and Gala apples; to get 8 cups took about 11 of them total. I used the Kraft Caramel Bits which I weighed out to get 14 ounces. I had no trouble with them "not melting." I accidentally bought apple juice instead of apple cider, and it worked fine. I used my food processor to cut the butter into the dry ingredients to try to save a little time and effort. This cut up the oats and it probably would have had a better texture if I had done it by hand. I put 1/2 this mixture into the bottom of the pan as per directions. The remaining mixture is somewhere between three and four cups. I used half of the remaining mixture on top of the first layer of apples instead of 1 cup, and it worked well. (There seemed to be some discussion on this earlier on in the reviews.) As some people mentioned that they thought it was a little bland, I did pump up the spices (since our family likes these sorts of flavors a lot). I used a tablespoon of cinnamon, a quarter of a teaspoon of cloves, and one teaspoon of allspice. I did not have any problem with it being dry."
"This was a terrible waste of money. Caramels did not melt and were hard to even chew. I would not recommend making this recipe."

To a kid, Otronicon is a dream come true — four floors of video games, robots, virtual reality and more. While the event can be known for the fun that can be had, it's also recognized for sparking a child's interest in science and tech careers through the appeal of interactive technology.
The event promotes the concept of "made in Orlando, played in Orlando" with many chances to interact with the creative professionals that make popular video games and discover the growing career opportunities available locally.

I came across this tidbit earlier...
This was a blogpost from early September. All the other info on this post was accurate, so I assume the Dolphins have requested to wear an orange alternate at some point this season. Since there are only 2 home games left, I suppose it will be either the Jags or Bills game. If I were to guess, it would be the Jags game with some kind of "Orange" promotion trying to generate fan interest.Alternate jerseys
Arizona Cardinals black, Baltimore Ravens black, Carolina Panthers light blue, Miami Dolphins orange, Philadelphia Eagles black, San Diego Chargers light blue, Seattle Seahawks wolf grey

What We Do
MyPath (formerly Mission SF Community Financial Center) places low-income youth and young adults on a path to economic mobility by ensuring they have access to quality financial products, a working knowledge of the financial system, and a peer-based social support system that encourages personal goal-setting and accountability. When we do this, we position youth and young adults to achieve their full potential and seed upward mobility that will continue for generations to come.
Our Vision
There are 20 million young people working in the United States, yet there is no system in place to support them to manage their first income streams. Our vision is to transform these paychecks into economic mobility pathways by engaging youth-serving programs and their low-income youth participants in banking, saving and credit-building. These opportunities power youth potential and seed economic mobility.
"The level of collaboration and trust is remarkable."
"We have seen real, measurable results."
"We applaud the real nature of the curricula and the asset building strategy."

Question About a Hobart Machine
now a Thermal Arc Tigwave 250
Nothing the matter with that machine ..it is a square wave chopper... about equivalent to Sync 250 of the same vintage... makes an excellent tig machine... I bought one new about 17 years ago and still have it as a backup machine..... (all 375lbs of it)
When Miller bought Hobart... they divested themselves of some Welder models... and the manufacturing facilities.... So Thermadyne bought that line and the rights to manufacture...
it is now a Thermal Arc Tigwave 250... here is a link to the Manual
it looks like they have discontinued that model....
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...

Today's bit of ridiculous bloviation is a piece in the Guardian asking whether horror is DOOOOOOMED because it's not literary enough. To which I say: What?
Of course literary authors are writing horror. Victor LaValle's The Devil in Silver is on PW's top ten best books list for 2012, and it's very much a horror novel. Justin Cronin's The Passage is post-apocalyptic horror, complete with jump-and-startle moments familiar to any horror movie fan.
Of course authors who come from within the genre are writing superbly creepy horror novels that are of equal quality to any "literary" title. Some names off the top of my head: Glen Hirshberg. Ted Kosmatka. Sarah Langan. Robert Jackson Bennett. Laird Barron. Lee Thomas. Peter Straub. I omit Caitlín R. Kiernan only because she hates to be called a "horror writer" but she writes wonderful dark fiction that any horror fan would love and any New Yorker reader would appreciate.
Also, how exactly is a commercial genre doomed if it stays commercial? Isn't the whole point of commercialism that you sell a lot of books? Is this some new meaning of "doomed" with which I was previously unacquainted?
Prose quality is not the only measure of a book, or of a genre–but if it were, horror would measure up just fine.

Hang tight!
Recipe by CADENCE
"A yummy stir-fry that's quick and easy to make, this one's sure to impress! Pork, vegetables, and peaches are stir-fried over high heat to produce a dish that can be served with either noodles or steamed rice. You can replace the broccoli with snow peas or baby corn. Be sure to get peaches packed in juice."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/4 cup
lemon juice
1/4 cup
soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon
ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 pound
cubed pork meat
2 teaspoons
peanut oil, or sesame oil
1 large
onion, diced
1 large
carrot, sliced
1 cup
broccoli florets
1 (15 ounce) can
sliced peaches, with juice
1 tablespoon
all-purpose flour
This was something different and good! Not as sweet as I thought it might be (which is a good thing). My son wouldn't touch it because of the peaches.

This was a pretty good recipe and I will make it again when I am tired of the same old stir-fry. For lack of pork available, I used chicken and added a few other veggies like frozen snow peas, mushrooms and a 1/2 red bell pepper. It is sweet but not too sweet. My hubby like the mixture but pushed the peaches to the side of his plate (he does like warmed peaches). Other than that, good...esspecially for stirfry fanatics like ourselves.
I thought twice about this because of the peaches but I am glad I went ahead anyway. I added a few more veggies as I was doing one of those clean the refrigerator things and blanched them for a few minutes but they still stayed firm. I added mushrooms, snow peas and zucchini. My husband asked if we were having company and then proceeded to polish the whole thing off. Great recipe.
We really liked this. My brain is still not quite grasping the broccoli with the peaches, so maybe there is another vegetable that would go more smoothly (asparagus?), but the flavor of this was great - and it wasn't as jarring as you might suspect. I used frozen peaches and half a bottle of peach nectar because I prefer the frozen to canned - I also think the peach nectar might have given this a more peachy flavor than the syrup from canned peaches would have. I used a bag of stir-fry vegetables with broccoli, carrots, and snow peas, which made this recipe even easier. My only suggestion would be to add the flour in the frying process rather than waiting until the end so you don't get a raw flour taste to the sauce. I also added red pepper flakes for some heat. Nice! Thanks for the recipe!
Personally I don't like broccoli, and I didn't have lemon juice when I made it, so I substituted some things. I went with orange and yellow peppers, along with spring onions instead of any other. I also used orange juice instead of lemon juice. I actually thought this was tastier than steak! Normally I would not say this. Thanks for the recipe!
I guess what I made is barely this recipe but I used the same merinade anad everything. Okay I did this same recipe but with Chicken and Mushrooms instead of pork. Also I used zuccini, carrots, and baby corn instead of the broccoli.
This recipe goes good with cocnut rice!!! It will taste good over plain rice or pasta!!!
