4 (1 ounce) squares
unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup
2 cups
white sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 cup
chopped walnuts
Excellent! My family enjoyed these brownies. I also used 12 tbls cocoa powder and 3 tbls vegetable oil instead of the 4 unsweetened chocolate squares. Search is over - this is the recipe I'll keep.
Well I just didn't like these at all; I followed the recipe exactly except I omitted the nuts and reduced the cooking time by 5 minutes. I like dense brownies, but these were more like thick brownie crackers; they were chewy and crunchy on the edges, and just plain chewy through the middle. Thanks for the recipe, but I'll keep looking.

I found this recipe in a brochure from a grocery store a few years ago. These brownies are very easy to make! Just the thing if you are looking for a fudgy brownie as opposed to a cake-y one. A word of caution: they will stick to the pan! The original recipe calls for covering the pan with foil, leaving enough at edges to form handles. Grease the foil generously. It works well.
I found this on the box of my Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate and gave it a try. My family & I agree that they are delicious. As another reviewer mentioned the instructions do say to foil & grease the 9 X 13 pan, which I did & used pam with flour, and I had no problems with sticking.
I followed the variation on the box for a more cakey brownie which was to add 1/2 cup more of flour and 1/2 cup of milk. Perfect. Will definitely make these again :)
Edit: I made these again and cut the sugar down to 1 1/2 cups, while upping the vanilla to 2 tsp and they were much better.
I didn't have any squares, so I used the 12 to 3 ratio for cocoa powder/oil. I was also out of nuts, so I omitted them also. I didn't have any trouble spreading the batter or getthing them out of my glass pan sprayed with PAM. They were VERY chocolately. I didn't bake them for 35 minutes either - more like 27 or 28, but that could have been my pan. I just watched closely for slight pulling around the edges.
Seriously folks, if you want the definitive, last word on the subject, BEST brownie make this recipe! (Or the other, identical, "One Bowl Brownie" recipe from this site...) I know there are differences from one person to the next on what makes brownies "the best," but in my judgment no one could possibly disagree this is it unless they somehow goofed up the recipe. Easy to mix up, rich, buttery, fudgy, chewy on the edges and just the right amount of "chocolatiness" and sweetness (some brownies are so sweet they make my teeth hurt!). As long you don't overmix or overbake these, you'll have the perfect brownie - like the kind that beckon you from bakery shelves with their beauty only these taste a whole lot better! So make these - and top them off with "Fudge Frosting," also from this site. (I made half the recipe, baked in a foil lined pan, 22 minutes)
I live in Russia and am always looking for simple recipes with ingredients I don't have to carry in my suitcase from home – this one is awesome! Several people suggested following the instructions exactly – the first time I tried substituting cocoa powder and butter for unsweetened chocolate squares (they don't have those in Russia), I also wasn't paying attention and put the eggs in before the sugar, maybe the problem was the butter was too hot and semi-cooked the eggs? I don't know, but the batter was chunky and not nice at all. I cooked them, and they tasted good, but the texture was gummy and I needed a chisel to get them out of the pan.
The second time I followed the recipe precisely, and they were perfect. My whole house smelled chocolatey and when I taste tested one, I ended up tasting (uh) three. Nice and crusty on top, soft, but cooked in the middle, my second batch didn't stick to the pan at all – I was going to try out several recipes, but I will go no further. This is my brownie recipe – I'm sure my Russian friends will love them! (Guess I'll be packing unsweetened chocolate squares in my suitcase!)
These were yummy and came out perfect! I did change a couple of things (always do) - used 3/4 cup cocoa and 1/4 canola oil whisked until smooth (no baking chocolate) and added 1/2 tsp almond extract but otherwise followed the directions. We will definitely be making these again. They are insanely sticky, though; I will definitely try the foil trick next time.

They dont have much stock for TIG and i dont like how they are unwilling to refill customer owned tanks.
But why do you think they are failing?

They will refill your tank if you can wait about 6 weeks. They will send it out to a main plant to refill. This is a corporate thing that is hurting them. I know longer will deal with them for anything I need except gas. My other supplier wont refill the tank I bought from them because it says airgas.

sounds like you boys out west dont have the support that we have in the east, most airgas suppliers here are fairly well stocked, or what i should say, is, stocked, the next day when they can get supplies from another store, as with any business, they carry the minimum, and have access close by for supplies. i really dont like dealing with the corporate big boy,, it is not the same as the indy lws.

Airgas suc*s near me, North East NJ. They have a low supply of nothing I need. They charge Hazmat on everything. I only use them for gas

I have to agree - not a favorite supplier... I do use them for all gas unless i run out on a job and its closer to another supplier, i have brought every size and make of tank to them and never had them question anything as far as filling it goes , just roll a filled one out and its done.
Far as pricing goes - higher than most places , but almost never have to order anything unless its A odd item. There stock is good and the manager is good about keeping what i need in stock or having it there for me if i want to experiment with something new.
NOW - as far a the upper management and the accounting dept. they are SORRY - thats putting it nice. Locally the employees are real good , but thats where it stops.

It might be failing to the little guy but big business loves it. They don't mind paying more for something brought to the door and dropped off.

"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
Christ is the reason the natural sciences work: he is the source of the laws of nature, and he contains and underpins the natural sciences. Christ is the pattern for all created things, while the Spirit – his presence in the created world – breathes the divine fire into the equations.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Four Views on the Historical Adam shows that evangelical Christians are far from agreeing on the particulars of Adam and Eve. But this book also makes clear that there is strong agreement among evangelical Christians on the fundamentals of the Christian faith. We agree that all Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative, even while disagreeing on the interpretation of some passages.
The key point of continuity between redemption and creation is the idea that the future can be different from the past, i.e., the key is eschatology. More abstractly put, God does new things.
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.

Sebastian Vettel may be the villain, however Christian Horner reckons every driver - including Mark Webber - 'would have done the same'...
Sebastian Vettel may be the today's villain, however, Christian Horner reckons any and every driver - including Mark Webber - 'would have done the same'.
After ignoring team orders and stealing the race victory from his team-mate in Sepang, Vettel was heavily criticised from all quarters.
Some, such as former F1 driver John Watson, have even called for Red Bull to suspend the 25-year-old for at least one Grand Prix.
However, it appears as if that - or any other punishment for that matter - is not on the cards as Horner reckons Vettel only did what any other driver would do. And in fact that Webber himself has done in the past.
"He is a race driver, a fiercely competitive individual," the Red Bull team boss told the Daily Mail. "You don't win 27 Grands Prix and three World Championships without being a very driven individual.
"If Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton had been in that position, they would have done the same.
"If Mark Webber had been in that position... we have seen him do the same. Let's not kid ourselves that this is something unique to Sebastian."
And although Horner would not like to see a repeat of Red Bull's Sepang drama, he concedes that he cannot always control his drivers.
"At times you do not have control of them, as much as you would like to. All you rely on is that they respect each other, the team and the equipment.
"Ultimately, behind the scenes, there are 500 to 600 people working flat out to provide them with the cars to go racing with. They are one element in a chain and for that chain to work effectively it has to work collectively."
The team boss, though, believes his drivers can work towards repairing their relationship as they have proven in the past to be a successful partnership.
"They have won three Constructors' Championships for the team. As a pairing they have been one of the most successful in Formula One history.
"In three months you go from winning a double World Championship in Austin and Brazil, then suddenly it is a drama and a crisis despite a one-two finish in the second Grand Prix."

Is there any information on stings for gout??
Preferably first hand.... not googled.
Is there any information on stings for gout??
Preferably first hand.... not googled.
I've been getting gout for forty years and I've been stung regularly for forty years. I had some gout last week and I have had many more stings the last few months than usual. Indomethicin and cherries, those are my cures. And watch out for shellfish and beans, especially mixed with alcohol consumption.
I've only had 2 bad attacks. The first was just plain nasty!!
It's hard to explain to other folks just how intense the pain
is. The first was Feb '07 and I've had a few minor ones in
between. This last one was bad (not as bad as the first)
and laid me up for over a week.
Indomethacin works the best for me to and I hit the cherries
and watermelon hard. Gave up booze many years ago.
As far as bee stings I get my share but I was wondering if
a few stings directly on the affected joint would help?
Indomethacin worked good for me....had it once in my thumb. Havent had it since, still drink my cold beer...but only about a case to two a month in summer and a case a month in winter. Hope I dont have to quit...ONE cold beer after a days hot work is refreshing! Evidentually bee stings dont help!
I have had multiple gout attacks over the years and am no stranger to the pain.
I no longer have to control my uric acid level with allopurinol as I have been able to stabilize with diet and excer. Mostly avoiding to much alch. and overindulgence in general. I had a knee injury that was getting chronic to the pain level of a gout attack. I started with bees here this summer and went barehanded one day taking 5 stings to each hand which worked like an off switch on the pain and inflamation of the knee. Not like indocyn or any anti-inflmmatory or pain killer that really just turns down the volume. The stings completely turned off both pain and inflamation. So now I'm hooked. Going on two months I have not needed to get re-stung. I guess they did not go to chiropractic school!
gout can bee controlled with apple cider vinegar taken orally or soak in with hot water works like a charm!
I spoke with my doctor about my mild case of gout this morning...
In summer, gout doesn't bother me too much (the warmer temperatures of summer increase the efficiency of blood circulation and the uric acid gets filtered before it crystallizes). In winter, the painful and destructive crystals form in my joints.
I'm off allepurinol and celebrex for the summer(!), but the crystals will form again when it cools off and I'll be back on allepurinol. I'm saving my kidneys as much as I can by doing this sporadic use of allepurinol.
I work the bees without gloves and have a few stings each week. The stings help me with the symptoms of gout and osteoarthritis -not the causes.
Your results may vary.
I try to learn from my mistakes, and from yours when you give me a heads up :)
I had a bad attack in August 2012 and decided to go the diet and exercise route..... Essentially Vegetarian with no coffee or beer.... I have a stock of allopurinol just in case but so far have not had to go there.... Like many of the other posters have noticed that the stings helped my arthritis but did not do much for my gout when I was having the attacks....
You guys talking diet are on the right track. Gout is caused by dietary excesses. Three things that can cause it are alcohol, coffee, and chocolate. Again, to excess. Of course, different folks have different tolerances.
I've experienced gout in the big toe, but its been awhile. Over a year ago I awoke with a swollen and painful knee for no good reason. My doctor suggested gout. I applied bee stings to the hot spot, starting with 1 and eventually working up to 4 at a time. Eventually the pain disappeared; however, I no longer squat down like I was always able to do prior to this.

Should US laws have expiration dates?
There are a number of laws that are passed in this country and that over time with the change of issues importance become less relevant or irrelevant yet remain on the books unless actively repealed. Would it be better to have laws automatically be reviewed every 10 or 20 or even 50 years? Should the sitting congress not renew them, or the sitting president not sign them then they would no longer be in effect. What laws would be exempted from this if any? What laws would you wish to see with such a expiration date? Why? Why do you not like / like this idea?
Jan 10 2013: Congress already reviews previous law. Sometimes by not reviewing it at all, they are implicitly endorsing it's continued existence.
Jan 10 2013: Isn't this done intermittently? I'm not aware of a comprehensive required review that happens at any regular intervals.
Jan 10 2013: Congress either writes new chapters to the book, or they re-write existing text. There is no comprehensive review, nor does there need to be.
Jan 10 2013: I believe that was the topic of discussion for this conversation.Jan 13 2013: You're right I would love to see a reveiw so that for example prohibitions against pot might expireJan 13 2013: So all laws have this built in already or only some? Who makes the choice today.Jan 11 2013: Many are written in this way especially appropriation measures. The term for when laws expire is referred to as "sunsetting."Jan 9 2013: Part of the problem is the interlinking of laws .... An old law (still on the books) says that you cannot beat your wife with a stick larger than your wrist. Todays law say thats assault. In Arizona it is against the law to ride a hourse into a soloon ... no restrictions on other facilities. I am three times retired and have plenty of time to read ... the Arizona Revised Statutes have many conflicts ... however the "old" law many be the basis for twenty new laws.
I agree with Paul below .. this becomes a slippery slope. I think there should be a review and a impact statement on the findings prior to any changes or either state or federal laws. Perhaps one combined law could replace twenty seperate but associated laws ... and if possiable written in English so that we can understand it .. and snake oil salesmen (lawyers) cannot twist and abuse them.
Laws are written and passed by legislators that are paid for and owe their major contributors. All legislators are the biggest insider trading group on earth ... enter poor and leave wealthy thats our motto.
So even if reviewed would much change ... probally not ... unless it benefits the US elite ... politicians.Jan 9 2013: The US already has laws with expiration dates, such as laws on tax rates and the patriot act, as far as I'm aware this is very uncommon (though not non-existent) in the rest of the world. Obviously laws that deal with ethics should be exempt from having expiration dates and with America's political division its questionable whether any law should have an expiration date at all. I believe its better to take a good look at a law BEFORE passing it, then the travesties of justice that are DOMA, the patriot act and the ban on marijuana would not be here in the first place. Maybe if American politicians started acting less like Taliban mullahs and ignorant jocks ("who needs science anyway?") and more like experts and states(wo)men there would be no need for expiration dates.
Jan 9 2013: I respectfully disagree. With the rate at which society is evolving due to the internet and technology it is almost a necessity to revisit laws at regular intervals to see if they are still relevant. Just thinking how much has changed in the last decade in regards to societal norms one would have to say that the law is seriously behind the times. Requiring a standard review of laws on every from local to federal government would be prudent.
As far as putting expiration dates on laws I think that is a slippery slope. I think a required review of the body of law at regular intervals would be a better course of action.
Jan 10 2013: And I'm arguing that legislators in the past who let themselves be guided by "societal norms" were incompetent in the first place. Nothing becomes right or wrong when popular opinion changes, something was always right or always wrong and if our legislators (and voters) aren't enlightened enough to see that then we might as well have a dictatorship. Of course there are laws that are just practical and have nothing to do with right or wrong and they should change over time, you can have expiration dates on those, but enlightened legislators wouldn't need them.
Jan 10 2013: Maybe societal norms was not the best phrasing that I could have used. My thought is that the review of laws at required intervals will address problems that arise due to society advancing faster then those laws.
Also reviewing law would serve to show holes or areas of law that are necessary and are not currently on the books. My initial thought was regarding prescription pain pill abuse. The law is seriously lacking in proper punishments for people that abuse such substances. Just one example of how a review of law could serve to bring that law more in line with the times.
As an aside, I disagree that right and wrong is a black and white concept that "enlightened" men and women should be able to write legislation regarding any issue with no problems. The grey area between right and wrong is often seriously difficult to navigate and when legislators inevitably get it wrong sometimes (they are human after all) it's not an issue of incompetence, its an issue of their own humanity. This applies to voters as well. A review of the law as society evolves will serve to revisit some of these issues and allow congress to reconsider their previous actions. I think this would serve the nation quite well.

We, like all NFL fans, are in that after draft period called "OMG, we love our UDFAs".
Couldn't be rid of spitler and Trusnik soon enough
Dion Jordan, Josh Kaddu and Michael Clay are all from University of Oregon. All fast tackling defensive Ducks are welcome here.
That song reminded me of this .... Now they are both stuck in my head...
Follow me @LandShark_13
There is a change in drafting philosophy...Coyle has given his input to Ireland and his scouting department. It is not a coincidence that we have targeted Oregon Duck players. From Kiddu, Alonzo, Jordan, Clay; they have seen the pistol and read-option every practice for the past couple of years in Eugene.
Only 2 years ago, Ireland would have never looked for undersized - below 6'2 - type linebackers. He would always look for the 6"2+ "prototypical" linebacker that was a prodder who could stop the run first and foremost like Misi. Instead of following the examples set by the league, we are ahead of the curve. Coyle recognizes that to slow down the pistol formation, he needs fast and sure tackling linebackers to shoot the gaps. Clay is a "pistol" destroyer.
How did this kid go undrafted?...he looks fast and he looks stronger that Jordan. All of our LB's seem to be fast now.
Ozzy rules!!
so this guy cant go to a majority of OTA's either?
Really sucks for a UDFA guy trying to make a team. I just learned about that rule today, and it sucks for the Oregon players and other schools on a quarterly system.
edit- this is the rule
Why in the hell did they draft Will Davis over this guy?

As many of you know, last weekend the ASPCA and responders from The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) removed more than 360 dogs from dog fighting properties in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. Many are emaciated, with scars and wounds consistent with dog fighting. They're spending their first days learning what it's like to receive adequate care.
The dogs and puppies are safe now. They'll never suffer in extreme heat without access to water. They'll never be chained to cinder blocks and car tires again. And they'll never be forced to fight.
Right now, the ASPCA is providing shelter, veterinary care, healthy food and much-needed attention and affection to hundreds of dogs and puppies. Our work is far from over. It's a massive undertaking that will require months of food and supplies and man hours to ensure these dogs get the best possible care. Veterinary professionals, behavior professionals and so many others will be involved.
Please take a moment to watch and share our rescue video. You'll see some of the dogs we rescued, as well as the real conditions these dogs were forced to endure.
Stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue. If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA.

I am a project student and I'm very new to LabVIEW 8. My device is using a MSP430F169 microcontroller to run a program using a software, IAR Embedded Workbench IDE though RS232 cable (Connected to COM 1) and display the output using LabVIEW. I'm using the example given in LabVIEW (Basic Serial Write and Read.vi).
Error message when i click on Validate:
Could not open a VISA session to "ASRL1::INSTR".
VISA error code 0xBFFF0072.
The resource is valid, but VISA cannot currently access it.
Under Device Status:
VISA returned this device when finding resources, and MAX could use VISA to parse the resource name. The resource is busy, so MAX could not succesfully open a VISA session to the device.
Does anyone know what is the problem? Is it the connection between VISA and my device? the Programming is not compatibale or Configuration of LabVIEW?
Please Help~ Thanks.
Hi 8500,
It sounds like the serial port you are trying to configure is in use already. I would make sure no other application is trying to access that port.
Also, please keep in mind that posting at the end of another discussion forum will not get as much attention as posting a new discussion forum. In the future, you'll receive a more precise and expedient answer by posting topics such as this one in the LabVIEW or Instrument Control (GPIB, Serial, VISA, IVI) boards - http://forums.ni.com/ni/board?board.id=140
Best regards,

Oh Thanks alot Chad PSE, Thanks for the advise. Merry Christmas~
XiuHuan (8500)
Student of Nanyang Polytechnic
Hello AW#$,
I saw your forum, I am facing the same proble as you faced.
I want to know what exactly was the problem?
Is that bcoz of the null modem cable ?
I'm having similar issues and this has been duplicated on another machine with similar errors. I have a device connect through USB, com4. It shows up in Meaurement and Automation Explorer and validates correctly. When tying pin 2 and 3 together, the loopback test works in hyperterminal, but not in MAE. When sending *IDN?\n and setting the read back to 6, I get a BFFF003E error after trying to execute. I get the BFF error with the default settings as well. I've gone through all the threads and Internet searches and cannot seem to find a solution, any help would be appreciated. I need to get the loopback working before I can make any progress...right?
I've been experimenting with the Count value in MAE on Basic IO Read. I set it to 23 or 24 and I'm now getting a response from the device. So, there is some progress.
I am able to get the device to respond correctly. The device is from Sure Electronics and it's their dual axis magnetic sensor module with uArt.
So, in MAE, you need to set your baud rate correctly, plus on the write you need to use $sure ga\r\n (there is a space between sure and ga but I did not use \s
The \r\n is required for the "enter key" which is required for the sensor, ga is the command to return the degrees reading.
So, after many hours, I'm getting Angle=019deg.\r\n I'm hoping I can now parse this out and get labview to display it as a compass. Cheers....
I am also getting 'The resource is valid, but VISA cannot currently access it" error. I have Mac OS 10.6.8 which I booted on 32 bit kernel to be able to use stable 5.0 version of NI-VISA instead of 64-bit 5.1.1 beta version. I am using serial to usb adapter to control some stepper motors.
When I run the NI-VISA Configuration utility I can see my device USB::0x067B:: ..and I give it an alias. I then run USBTMC.vi and for the VISA resource name I enter the full resource name (or the alias) but it doesn't work. But when I try ASRL3::INSTR I get this error.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

My research examines the relationship between the music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the cultural trends of Los Angeles from the early 1980s to present day. The intent of this investigation of connection was, initially, to uncover the impact of the city's social and political shifts on the style and genre of the band's productions. As my work progressed, I began to focus in on the relevance of the Los Angeles soundscape, using what I had already gathered to interpret the correspondence between sound and place. It became apparent that the auditory backdrop of the city has changed in accordance with its various sociopolitical alterations. Knowing this, I argued that changes in the Los Angeles culture—effectively, change in place—prompted change in its accompanying soundscape, which was causatively related with the evolution of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' music.
During the 1990s, when the song Under the Bridge was written and recorded, Los Angeles was heavily ridden with crime and drug abuse. The soundscape was filled with the sounds of the urban bustle of life, but also the sounds of the struggling Los Angeles Police Department. Sirens, gunshots, and screeching tires were all far from uncommon, each contributing to the auditory interpretation of melancholy. Under the Bridge mirrors such despondency, with its downbeat tempo and tortured vocals, which contain lyrics referencing the desperate condition of substance addiction.

Six fake Democrats allowed on Wis. recall ballot as protest candidates
MADISON- Wisconsin's elections board has voted unanimously to allow six Republicans running as Democrats to appear on the ballot in upcoming recall elections.
The state Government Accountability Board voted Tuesday to allow the candidates to run because state law doesn't require people to prove they belong to any political party before they can run for office.
Democrats objected, saying the candidates falsely represented themselves and therefore filed fraudulent paperwork.
The recalls target Republican Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and three incumbent senators. A fourth Senate seat is open.
Republicans say the goal was to ensure there is a primary in all the races so the general election will be on the same date. The primary is May 8 and the general election is June 5.
"We're pleased with today's certification that all protest candidates will appear on the May 8th primary ballot," said Republican Party of Wisconsin spokesman Ben Sparks.
"These candidates are running to ensure election fairness, and today's ruling guarantees that there is one primary and one general election date for all candidates facing a recall."
"Today is yet one more ethical low for Scott Walker, with the certification of candidates whose only purpose is to give him advantage in elections called for under the rules of the Wisconsin Constitution," said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chairman Mike Tate in a statement.
"Scott Walker has no regard for ethics, just as it is becoming clearer that he has no regard for the law. Today represents another stain on Wisconsin's history and traditions of fair play.
Both parties ran protest candidates during the 2011 recall elections in Wisconsin.

text: Introducing Judith Taylor I live near Nelson in Ruby Bay, one of the small settlements in the Tasman District. Much of my time is spent visiting the great people who keep our country in touch with its history, its culture and its identity. For me this is a pleasure and a privilege. I have always been a keen art gallery and museum visitor and since working in the sector have enjoyed immensely meeting the people who make it all happen. My previous museum roles have been in Nelson, most recently as The Nelson Provincial Museum's Manager of Collection Services. This was a busy and challenging job, including management of the large and varied collection, collection and technical staff and recently exhibition development and delivery, based at the museum's Research Facility in Isel Park, Stoke. In 2005 I was privileged to be part of a small, dedicated team responsible for the management, development and delivery of the new Nelson Provincial Museum exhibition centre in the heart of Nelson City. Currently the team has been beginning the task of digitising the photographic collection of over 1.2 million images dating from the 1860's and installing a new database and browser to provide on-line delivery.Previously I worked for Nelson's Suter Art Gallery as collection curator and during this period completed my Masters Degree in Museum Studies and curated a number of art and object based exhibitions at The Suter Art Gallery and museum including the centennial year Suter's Legacy and the Sarah Greenwood exhibition. My experience is now broadly based from hands-on in collections and exhibitions through to management. Having worked with diverse groups of people, mainly in regional institutions, I have developed a strong awareness of the importance of ongoing training, communication and collaboration in all areas of museum work and across the sector. I am very aware of the support required in the sector and the unique challenges faced by cultural organisations in New Zealand.I am married with a partner who works in the arts and we have two grown up sons.Contact Judith by email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 029 601 0410.

"Members of Congress every day hear from the monied side of the issue, and they must have this counterbalance by hearing from the grassroots….there is nothing more eloquent to a member of Congress than the voice of his/her constituent."
- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Your elected representatives want to hear from you (and if they don't, that's all the more reason to be in touch!). The key to influencing them is proving that you are a well-informed, committed and persistent constituent.
Whether you send an email or letter, make a telephone call or meet with your representative, your communication has an impact proportional to the amount of effort you put in. It's important to take time to prepare your thoughts, familiarize yourself with PAN's strategy, and follow up as many times as it takes.
Below are some tips to make your lobbying successful, as well as a sample letter, call script and contact information for your senators and representatives. We've also included some basic information about how congress works that might help you get started.
We don't know. It may have something to do with the elaborate machinations it takes to get a piece of legislation passed. You can find an overview of the process here.
It might also have something to do with all the committee work that happens behind the scenes, before a bill even makes it to a "floor vote." For PAN's work, the following congressional committees often end up being the most important. If one of your Senators or Representatives sits on these committees, please do get to know the staffers in their office.
House of Representatives:
All contact is good contact, and it gets easier with practice. So start where you are. The most impactful lobbying in roughly ascending order: email, FAX (yes, some offices still use them), phone call, personalized letter, and a face-to-face visit.
Two good one-stop-shops for reaching Congress: Congress.org and the Capitol Switchboard, (202) 224-3121 — ask to be transferred to your representative's office. Below are links to look up contact information for your representatives and agency officials using your zip code.
Remember that you are dedicated and well informed: you're a natural advocate. By following a few simple rules, you can achieve great results. But make no mistake, changing U.S. policy — doing battle with the bureaucracy and high-priced corporate lobbyists — is hard work. Don't be intimidated or discouraged.
Identify yourself and your issue. State your point of view. Explain why it's important to you. Be courteous and get to the point quickly. And follow three rules:
If you haven't already, register to vote. It's easy, imperfect and important. Then organize a voter registration drive — helping to turn out the vote is a good way to make more democracy happen.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 215
I'll be playing today as well, but it's gonna be in the 60s here in vegas :)
Headed to holly, Michigan soon as i can find where i stuffed all my cold weather gear!
I'm playing in VT today the temp is right at freezing, but it's sunny and clear a perfect day for Disc Golf.
The winter out here in North Dakota is downright oppressive. The winds that gale across the plains teach you a lot, though. This is what separates the men from the boys. (and the girls from the women)
I would feel sorry for you but it was almost 50 degrees here today.
pssh.. lucky. I'm beginning to think I'm in disc golf purgatory for some great sin against the great disc in the sky. An hours trip to the one disc golf course in driving distance, and you'll freeze your butt off once you're there.
We play through the winter with leagues and casual rounds at Lemon Lake, if I were to stop playing, by spring I would have to relearn my drive, I know it!! Keep at it and you will be rewarded!
I played today and even though it was over 40 today the sun wasn't really out so it didn't feel all that warm. I had no flexibility and didn't play so well.
When the sun is out here it makes all the difference in the world.
I'll be in Denver around Jan. 23rd, but I don't think I'll be throwing, I am visiting my ma and going skiing.
Not enough time to do everything, but I'll be back out that way on my way to the Memorial (I hope!). Maybe we could play in early March.
I played a One Disc Tourney on Saturday. It was in the High 20's, low 30's ALL DAY. I got wind burned on my face. Man I LOVE IT. :)
Colorado is where I first started throwing!!!

Comments about Hanging Halogen Patio Heater:
They look good hanging from ceiling. I place one over patio lounge area and 1 over patio table. If you are more than 3' away from heater there is little to no heat. I live in central Florida where the typical nights are much warmer than most other parts of the US during winter. I can't imagine these meeting the heating needs of colder areas as we still have to light our propane overhead heater also to take the rest if the chill away.
If you have a 110v plug in close to where you plan in installing this heater it should take anyone less than 5 min to be up and warming. They even included a chain and hook on heater so all you need us a nail or hook to hang the chain and heater on.

ETSU Splits With Georgia Southern
Sunday, May 02, 2004STATEBORO, Ga. (May 2, 2004) - Carolynn Chin's single to right field brought in the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning to give Georgia Southern the 1-0 victory in the second game of the weekend series. Game two saw ETSU score four runs in the seventh inning to escape the series sweep with the 4-2 win. After playing four innings Saturday before the game was called due to thunderstorms, the Eagles and Bucs resumed play Sunday afternoon. After three and a half scoreless innings, Georgia Southern (27-26, 9-9 Southern Conference) scored the game winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning. After Heather Smith grounded out to second, Sam Steiner, who pinch hit for Tiffany Urena, reached first on an error by the Bucs shortstop. Logan Free pinch hit for Katie Roberts and hit a single to center field, advancing Steiner to second, with Chin up to bat. She ripped the ball down the left field line, allowing Steiner to score, giving the Eagles the 1-0 win. In game two, ETSU (26-31, 6-12 Southern Conference) scored four runs in the seventh inning and held off a Georgia Southern rally to win 4-2. Danielle Spetar led off the Bucs seventh with a single to second base. After a walk and an Eagle error, the Bucs had the bases loaded with no outs as Miranda Byerly stepped to the plate. She singled to center field, allowing Spetar to score the first run of the game. Tiffany McVay fouled out to the catcher for the first out of the inning. A Sheryl Clark single through the left side brought in another Buc run. Mary Beth Hazelwood reached first on a GSU error, which allowed the Bucs to score another run. Janine Sprague's single to right field scored the final ETSU run of the inning, giving them the 4-0 advantage heading into the bottom of the seventh. Kim Griffin opened with a double to left field, and would advance to third on a passed ball. Maria Laurato flied out to right field, allowing Griffin to tag third and score the Eagles first run of the game. Steiner reached first on an ETSU error, as Lindsay Jones stepped to the plate. She would reach on a fielder's choice, as the Bucs attemped to get Steiner out at second, but could not make the play. Cary Moone ripped a ball to center field, allowing Steiner to score, cutting the margin to 4-2, but would be thrown out at second as she attemped to advance. A Smith line drive straight to the pitcher ended the game, with the Bucs winning 4-2. The Eagles will travel to Boone, N.C. for their final regular season SoCon series as they will face Appalachian State Thursday afternoon. First pitch of the doubleheader is scheduled for 2:00 p.m., while ETSU will host Furman in a conference doubleheader May 8th with a single game following on the 9th.


text: Library Joins ConnectNY Shared Print Trust The Noreen Reale Falcone Library is now a member of the ConnectNY (CNY) Shared Print Trust. Since 2005 members of CNY have shared their print book collections with one another through an efficient, highly popular, patron-initiated borrowing and delivery system. As these 18 libraries in CNY face both pressing space needs and economic pressures, they seek new options for sharing the costs and effort of long-term retention of low use library materials. The overall purpose of this shared program is to build a strong consortial print trust that is housed across the CNY libraries. This will leverage our resources, enhance our shared collection and relieve library shelf space pressures in all member libraries. Planning meetings of the Trust began in October 2012 and a timeline, which will be shared in advance with academic departments & programs, is forthcoming. The project is expected to evolve over a number of years, but data from a study on overlap and circulation are forthcoming in February. Membership in the Trust will allow member libraries to: Identify both the strengths and weaknesses in the CNY collection Identify collection redundancy and manage a drawdown of surplus copies Share preservation and archiving responsibilities for unique items Significant objectives of this program include: To assure that at least one copy of all titles currently held by participating libraries remains securely archived and available to CNY users. To assure that the maximum number of unique titles remain available to users To free space now occupied by low-use surplus copies for collection growth and study spaces To avoid additional building costs Please feel free to contact Bob Johnston, Director of the Library, if you have questions or concerns about this initiative (firstname.lastname@example.com or 445.4321).

It's one thing to eat on $5 a day. It's another thing to eat healthy on $5 a day.
This week, about 300 people in Montgomery County are attempting to raise awareness of poverty by spending no more than $25 on food for five weekdays as part of the SNAP the Silence Challenge.
The biggest obstacle to eating a healthy diet on just $5 a day might not be money, said Jenna Umbriac, nutrition educator for Manna Food Center, Montgomery County's food bank.
"Time is one of the biggest obstacles," she said. "If someone has a pretty robust food budget, they can afford to purchase healthy foods that are also convenient."
Time is a privilege, said C. Marie Henderson, executive director of Interfaith Works.
"People struggling and living on the edge don't have the privilege of time," she said. "I have time if I make it, time to plan and to figure out my meals. But it is a privilege many people don't have."
As Umbriac prepared to take the challenge this week, she planned meals, identified foods to buy and looked through grocery ads for the best prices.
Individuals or families with what Umbriac calls robust food budgets tend to have fewer stressors in their lives and can prepare as she did. Many who rely on the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps, do not have that privilege.
"If you are in a position where you do not know where your next meal is coming from, and you have rent to worry about, utility bills to worry about, children who have to get to school, it's not feasible to think you would also have time to sit down, make a meal plan, then have time to shop for the best prices," she said.
But to eat healthy on a $5 daily budget and get the most for the money requires planning. Henderson said Interfaith Works advises clients to plan meals before they go to the grocery store.
Healthy eating on a budget also requires purchasing whole foods, like a whole chicken, versus one that has been cut up. As with planning, preparing whole foods takes more time, she said.
Henderson said she bought a whole chicken with her SNAP challenge budget, intending to make multiple meals out of it.
But coming home from work late on Monday meant she didn't get to cook the bird until after 8 p.m. and didn't get to eat until after 10 p.m., she said.
Often those living on SNAP assistance work long hours, odd hours or multiple jobs, she said.
Coming home after a long day, no one wants to spend hours cooking.
Ramen noodles, while not healthy, are much easier and take less time, she said.
As a result, there is a known link between poverty and obesity.
"Many of our folks living in the shelter are overweight or obese because of a number of things," Henderson said. "They do not have money to buy healthier choices. They have not had the education about what is healthier. Poverty is cyclical. If you grew up in a house where ramen noodles were standard, you will continue to eat ramen noodles."
As Manna Food Center's nutrition educator, Umbriac said her goal in taking the challenge was to better understand healthy eating on a limited budget so she could pass her knowledge to her clients.
"My whole mission here (Manna) is to get healthier food out to those Montgomery County residents who can't afford it," she said.
Councilwoman Valerie Ervin, who organized the challenge, said it is not just about raising awareness of poverty in the county, but also about understanding what those who depend on SNAP endure.
Those who participated in the challenge will continue eating on the budget through Friday evening.

Story Maps Illustrate Metro Area and County Population Change
Have fun exploring two interactive thematic maps on population change, just released by the Census Bureau.
The first map allows data users to explore the difference a decade has made in patterns of population change in metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas across the country. This is possible through swiping between two interactive maps – one covering the 2002-2003 period, the other 2012-2013. The second map permits users to determine the extent of population growth in each county between 2012 and 2013, and to quickly identify the primary source of that population change (such as natural increase or net migration.

I'm also in school for welding right now and i have encountered many problems that can lead to the type of stuff you're talking about. Kids come into these programs because they think welding is easy money and they won't have to work hard or anything. Just so you guys know there are some kids out there reading books and doing thier best to learn the trade and be successful, they are sometimes few and far between but they are there.

For the young guys and gals in welding or any other trade school i applaud you. Welding school is like any other school, be there because you want to be there and learn everything possible. When its time to go out into the workplace keep learning. Learn for your entire career. When people ask me if welding is a good job i respond by saying "welding is a very difficult profession, mentally and physically but its a fantastic living if you stick with it".

What I see in my area is employer's not giving employee's a reason to work hard.
An older hard working talented employee gets fired because he can be replaced with two young bloods for less money. Why work hard when you get fired for it...
An employee starts out at $8/hr to learn a valuable trade and gets promised a "livable" wage. Said employee learns all he can, gets a few years of experience, get's really good at what he's doing etc. and gets a $2/hr raise... While the guy next to him, who does/knows the bare minimum gets the same pay rate... $10/hr is not "livable" around here, and why work harder then the next person for the same wage?
Even better, an employer says no christmas bonus, we cant afford it this year, then continues to complain about not being able to decide where he's buying his 3rd vacation house...
I'm not saying that the O.P. is like that, just seems like what I've dealt with alot around here.. You wont make everybody happy, but if you do what you can to promote a good workplace, it will go a long way in peoples work ethics.
I currently work for a small town garage, and while non of us are getting rich, they do what they can to treat me as if it was my company as much as there's and I work as hard as I know how for them, works for now, but I hope to be able to provide for my family better some day, and maybe all three of us can if the economy turns around.

It sounds like a good deal for now.
The compensation in welding world varies greatly because the pool of welders able to do the work varies greatly.
Nobody is going to make large money mig welding trailers together in a factory because the labor pool is saturated with qualified candidates.
It's simple economics, the fewer people able to do the work, the more the worker is worth.
The key to increased welding income is to work in a field or sub field where the number of humans able or willing to do that particular work is small. And that usually takes an out of the ordinary level of commitment/dedication/practice. Otherwise, everbody'd be doin it for big $.
Good luck to you.

Last job i hired on i told them give me two weeks at minimum wage. A few days later i picked up a hood and stinger and looked at them as tho they came from space. Others guys told me to try it and i did and they found i could weld better than they could. I told the foreman i was scared of heights and proceeded to walk out a bar joist. Needless to say im still with the outfit pay is 2 above govt scale out here and i now have nccco crane certs. Ive moved up senior man and am the last one out of work. This outfit only used 3/32 lo/hy for all the welding including moment connections but after washing some guys out we now have 3 suitcase welders and we have moved up to 1/8-5/32 rod. Im the only one burning the bigger stuff but im teaching kids under me to use it. Im an old man in this game now so in next 10-15 ill have to pass the torch
Fushion King, I have to agree with you, Its hard to pay the talented guys big money when work gets slow.

Hay fellas i gotta get in on this one, Im a 20 year old provisional journeyman with UA 72 (pipefitter union) out of atlanta. Provisional journeyman meaning i have welding cert and are qualified to do journeyman work, but because i haven't completed my school through the union i only get 80% of journey wages with is amazing for a small town boy from south GA. All that being said I graduated high school and tech school in 2010 and out of everyone in my class me and one other guy where the only people to go anywhere in the industry and make any kind of money. We made 15$ when we first come into the union and worked as helpers at plant jack, after that I spent 8 months living on roman noodle and hot dogs trying to get some of the hardest certs in the world from the UA. I say all that because Ive seen alot more guys come and go then to come and stay, and more so then that the guys that dont have family in the hall dont seem to stay at all. Its pretty sad to me, we have such a great opportunity in the union and guys just want to sit around and play xbox. Ive worked my ass off to get here and set up a good life, It just seems that guys my age dont get it. I never starved when i was a kid but if i wanted something i worked for it seems like something these boys my age dont know about.
Yea my son/partner ate nothing but those noodles for 2 weeks paying his way thru welding school. Too proud to let me until sometime later.
Anyone who wants it that bad should do ok

we had a few jobs to uild hydrotstatic well texting units. couldn't find any good help so i got a cuban guy and my son to come in with me. not one of them could weld or fit but after a few weeks they are turning into some great workers. the way i taught them was to let them fit and weld the doors to the unit i let them use the 140 mig and it seemed to do the trick .as for as the fitting goes i had them make all the battery boxs .sure the boxs wasn't a huge projecy but it taught them to make sure things was square now after 2 months i now fave a fairly good welder and a fairly good fitter. if guys like use who own companies don't take the time to teach the younger ones comeing in then how will they get on the job experiense.welding in a booth ina votec school is nuthing compaired to welding in the real world. i know all of use wasn't born with a lead or torch in our hands and we had to learn from someone at one point in timejust take time to teach them instead of sending them down the road you never know they just might end up being yur best employees.
