I'm betting you've already felt the sharp pain in your wallet from the expiration of the Social Security payroll tax break. Perhaps some of you have given up your daily $5 morning cup of joe to make up for the $20 decrease in your weekly paycheck (based on $50,000-a-year earnings). Or maybe you're just learning to live with less, now that the payroll tax has returned to its traditional 6.2 percent rate.
Either way, that tax bite may be the biggest change most of you will feel in 2013. The last-minute "fiscal cliff" deal that went down over the New Year holiday kept the income tax rates the same for just about everyone and extended some of the Bush-era cuts.
But because that legislation was passed late (Jan. 2), the IRS says it's beginning to process tax returns on Jan. 30, eight days later than it had planned. April 15 is still the deadline for filing, however.
Here's how some of these tax rules for 2013 may affect you:
• The personal exemption increased by $100 to $3,900. There are a number of situations that allow you to take advantage of this credit. For example, if you provide at least half the support for an adult child who is under the age of 19, or age 24 if in college, and his or her income doesn't exceed the personal exemption of $3,800 in 2012, you may qualify for the exemption. The rules are similar for relatives (parents, aunts, uncles and the like) for whom you may care. But they don't necessarily have to live with you. If you provide at least half their support and they didn't earn more than $3,800 last year, you may take advantage of the credit.
There's another note about the personal exemption for 2013 — a provision phasing out higher earners' exemptions has been reinstated. So if your adjusted gross income exceeds $250,000 (for single taxpayers), $300,000 (for married filing jointly) or $275,000 (for head of household), this is the deal: For each $2,500 of earnings over the threshold, your personal exemptions are reduced by 2 percent.
- The maximum earnings subject to the Social Security tax rose to $113,700, up from $110,100 last year.
- Annual contributions to plans such as 401(k)s are at a maximum $23,000 — $17,500 in regular contributions, plus $5,500 in catch-up contributions for those 50-plus.
- The threshold on medical deductions increased. You can only deduct medical expenses that exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income (up from 7.5 percent in 2012). However, if you are 65 or older, the threshold stays at 7.5 percent. Beginning in 2017, everyone will be subject to the 10 percent limit.
- On a related note, the maximum on deductions for long-term care insurance premiums rose. This is a tax break that many people don't know about. If you're age 51 to 60, you'll be able to deduct up to $1,360; age 61 to 70, up to $3,640; after 70, up to $4,550 for such premiums.
"That extra couple of thousand dollars you pay for premiums could push you over the limit so you can deduct your medical expenses," says Gil Charney, principal tax researcher with the H&R Block Tax Institute.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to make images of organs and structures inside the body.
Alternative Names
How the Test is Performed
An ultrasound machine creates makes images so that organs in the body to be examined. The machine sends out high-frequency sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives the waves and uses them to create a picture. Unlike with an x-ray or CT scan, this test does not use ionizing radiation.
The test is done in the ultrasound or radiology department.
- You will lie down for the test.
- A clear, water-based gel is applied to the skin on the area to be examined. The gel helps with the transmission of the sound waves.
- A handheld probe called a transducer is moved over the area being examined. You may need to change position so that other areas can be examined.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your preparation will depend on the part of the body being examined.
How the Test will Feel
Most of the time, ultrasound procedures do not cause discomfort. The conducting gel may feel a little cold and wet.
Why the Test is Performed
The reason for the test will depend on your symptoms.
Normal Results
Results are considered normal if the organs and structures being examined look okay.
What Abnormal Results Mean
The meaning of abnormal results will depend on the part of the body being examined and the problem found. Talk to your health care provider about your questions and concerns.
There are no known risks. The test does not use ionizing radiation.
Some types of ultrasound tests need to be done with a probe that is inserted into your body. Talk to your health care provider about how your test will be done.

I was reading some furniture blogs (doesn't everyone?) and noticed this post. It's a great idea and something like the earthboxes my mom grows tomatoes in, but the cost?!!? $55? That seems a bit much.
I decided to make something like that using a 2 liter bottle and a rag from an old t-shirt. Much lower cost and a nice weekend project.
My original idea was to cut off the top of a 2 litter bottle and put a standard terra cotta pot inside. The 2 liter would be the water reservoir and a scrap of a cotton t-shirt could act as the wick. Then I realised, well, if you turn the top of the 2 liter upside down you have a very nice cavity to put the potting mix in and a hole in the bottom (the original neck and opening) to run the wick through. After thinking it over we were off to the races.
Step 1: Tools and Materials
- 2 liter bottle. Clear is good, other colors will work.
- rag from a cotton t-shirt. About 8" x 8" or so.
- Spray paint. I've read a few things that say planting containers should be darker colors to block light from damaging the roots. Fair enough. So you need to paint the top of the 2 liter once it's cut off. I used a black primer as a base coat and then a red gloss as a top coat.
- Potting Mix. Important: It's potting mix, NOT potting soil. From what I could find online, potting mix will "wick" the water to the roots of your plant and potting soil will not.
- Utility or xacto knife
- Medium or Fine Sand Paper. I'm using a fine grit sand sponge thingie - I love these things.
- You need to be able to cut a 2 liter bottle in half and while it can be a wild and wavy cut, nice and straight and flat is a good thing. I decided to do multiple planters so I set up a production tool. It's a 2x4 cut to 5.25" tall. On top of that I drilled pilot holes and screwed down a utility knife blade. By spinning the 2 liter around the blade I could get an even mark and most of the cut done. It would start to bind up for the last bit and for that I used the xacto knife.
- Sharpie, used to mark the fill line so a quick glance is all it needs.
- SOS pad for scubbin' off the last of the paper and glue from the 2 liter label.
thanks for the idea, simple, usefull and exciting .........
Paint the outside of the container instead so you don't get paint into the system or algae. Or use duct tape.. you can get them in varied colours.
Also, I don't think the wick is necessary for such a tiny pot.
Keep the cap screwed on after drilling some tiny holes
Drill a tiny overfill hole at the level where the bottom of the soil holding part is, so that only the portion where the cap is is immersed in water, otherwise you'll rot your roots.
Drill a hole in the soil-holding half, above the water line, and drop a straw or other tube into it. You can then water through that tube.

You could enter it in our contest: http://loveandtrash.com/2011/01/contest-project-power-down/
Thanks for sharing your talents!
He also had some plans for a more complex container
These use the potting mix as the wick itself by putting a 4" pvc pipe with holes in it down into the water reservoir and filling that with the potting mix. It's an interesting design.
I'm going to be doing these for tomatoes next spring.

How important is the economy?
I am an IB student in Sweden and I thought to myself the other day how important is the economy? I mean would the world be able to function without the economy system we have today which is all about producing in large quantities. How would the world be affected if all the banks were shut down, the markets were also closed what would be the result.
Avi Dey
Apr 14 2013: Thank you for this thoughtful topic. First, I think your hypothetical is a real possibility that needs serious thinking beyond what is known today. I have been looking at this topic from a slightly different perspective than yours perhaps. I am a long time student of econmics and I do understand the 1929-1932 Depression in USA quite well.
- +1
What sparked my interest in this topic is a rather homespun prophecy I saw recently on a rather popular Utube presentation by "Patriotic Nurse" who is located I undersrtand at Appalachia. Her prophecy is that United States is due for a second Civil War, perhaps in a decade to two decades, ie, inevitable in fact.
Ok so, it's easy to dismiss Patriotic Nurse as frivolous. But I didn't. I can clearly see her prophecy is not way out of line if another "Wall Street Meltdown" came, when the hands of the government to take action as was done recently was tied due to inablity to borrow money, even less abel now than in the depresssion years when America had relatively far less debt.
But I disagree with Patriotic Nurse on one key point. I think the "inevitablity" of her prophey can be substantially reduced as the severety of the first American Civil War (1861-1865) could have been reduced substantially if not completely.
I am glad to see that my counter-points to Patriotic Nures is doing well in in the Squidoo.com internet platform where I just published my counter-points .
The title of my Squidoo lense is as follows:
"Dance For America Now At Hometown USA__Avoid Civil War Come Again 3rd Decade 21st Century".
But I do respect Patriotic Nurse's homespun wisdom and considerable thoughtful presentation. Point _ Counter Point. I hope there will be thoughtfl consideration to both viewpoints for deeper wisdom and to avoid the scenerio that you have described which is very much what Patriotic Nurse has used as the main planck of her prophecy for another disastrous Civil War in America.Apr 13 2013: this is the world without economy:
hunting and gathering food, child survival between 25-50%, average life expectancy 25 years, hunger is frequent, serious illnesses are lethal, clothing is raw leather, tool is stone axe. just like 10000 years ago.
Apr 18 2013: Most people today live worse than peoples 10,000 years ago.
Apr 18 2013: that is the most arrogant statement i can think of
Apr 20 2013: Our hunter gatherer ancestors were much healthier than the first agriculturalists. This is archaeological discoveries. Scholars have also found that hunter gatherers had a much more leisurely life and what work was done were things that people do now for sport. Egalitarianism was the norm.
Contrast that to the people that live on less than 2 dollars a day. Think about the number of people that are sick from hunger or on the opposite end degenerative disease. Which is how many million? Think about the massive disparity of wealth today. Think about the anger there is today about how we ought to live.. will we ever agree and what are the consequences for not agreeing?
By the way, you can't just call opposing views arrogant. That's an emotional argument that accomplishes nothing.Apr 20 2013: You need to inform yourself before you dismiss statements as "arrogant." Try reading some Jared Diamond. Pick up a book about hunter gatherers. Read some Daniel Quinn. This will help.Apr 20 2013: Your progressivist views of human history need to be re examined.
Peter Law
Apr 13 2013: It depends on your worldview. My perspective is as follows ..
- +1
There are two options
1) We are more important than our neighbours.
2) Our neighbours are more important than us.
By & large we have opted for 1. We each strive for personal success. This success is measured in material terms; houses, money, prestige etc. Our economic systems reflect these goals & make it possible for any individual to out-perform their peers. Trouble is that we have let the tail shake the dog. Public servants (?) have been allowed to raise their status by giving away our money & the whole pack of cards is about to come down.
We have little choice, we; & that includes me; are basically selfish; option 1 will always win.
Jesus Christ said that whoever would be the greatest in the Kingdom of God must be the servant of all. He showed us how by his example. This is the way it is meant to be. Money would not be required, we would all look out for one another. Each would love his neighbour as himself. We see it in patches here & there & it's wonderful to behold.
The Good News is that this is how it will be eventually; when the history of greed & selfishness has run it's course.
Spencer Hill
Apr 13 2013: The economy is important or better said, commerce is what makes the world go around. You could shut down the banks and the markets, but new intermediaries would emerge-moneychangers, traders in the casbah, coffee houses (Lloyds of London) or In Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome--Barter Town.
- +1
Commerce is what spreads the wealth. The city states of the Renaissance is where cultures were shared and business transpired. These locales grew because of it. Just like NYC, London, Hong Kong or Singapore today.
Go back to Ancient Egypt, there was a division of labor farmers, traders, merchants all in the process of getting goods to market and into the hands of those who want/need them.
Since ancient times we have had an economy , we have just become more efficient.
W. Ying
Apr 21 2013: .
- 0
We do not need the economy
for invalid (ineffective or harmful) happiness,
which leads us to self-extinction.Apr 14 2013: The most important part of the economy is a frame work that allow trade to occur. In other words the rule of law and a national defense. Anything beyond that is superfluous and much subject to abuse.Apr 13 2013: I think big banks and multinationals make the greed grander than it would have been. On an obviously positive side, a world without the current economic system will have less of environmental degradation, Rhino poaching, large-scale whaling and other fatal consequences of desperation.Apr 13 2013: To study this, you might want to look at countries that have very little in the way of a banking system and how they move resources and goods around, attract people to do what needs to be done, and so forth. I believe Myanmar is such a country.
Another thing you could do is to look at how savings and borrowing and so forth work in countries that may have well-developed systems but among those who are largely not served by those systems. Many of the residents and communities in the poorer states in India would fall into that category.
The reason I think this would be instructive is that it offers concrete information about how in the absence of these institutions people organize the sorts of transactions that allow them to move resources, to do things like buy seeds and fertilizer at a time when agricultural income is not coming in, and to allow for obtaining consumer and business durables.

Check out this HuskyStarcraft video segment (if you don't get the link to the right time, it's at 19m15s)... how on Earth does Grubby get his stalkers to blink so ridiculously quickly one after the other?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
This is a common stalker micro technique, especially useful for scaling cliffs in a group and other precision-demanding blinking.
Order your stalkers to move to a location, then use shift to queue a command to blink from there to your desired target. This way, the entire group will blink, but each unit will do so only when it is in the location you determined with the first move order, ensuring that all Stalkers reach the intended destination.
So in the video, the player right clicked the end of the near ramp, then shift+[blink hotkey]+left clicked the far ramp.
There is a tutorial in the official Starcraft Master map from Blizzard. Here is how you access it.

Our Past Productions
How did this get started?
An Epiphany
Dan McCleary, one of this country's most renowned Shakespearian actors and directors, began searching the South a year and a half ago for a city that needed and wanted to support an outdoor Shakespeare Company. After visits to potential locations in several states, he returned to his childhood home of Memphis. His long-time mentor and friend Frank Bluestein convinced him to look at a secluded site in Germantown, a 14-acre wooded parcel in the heart of town, behind Morgan Woods Park on Poplar Pike.
|The September Prelude Event hosted by The Dixon Gallery and Garden: Brittany Morgan and Gabriel Vaughan.
What are the plans for 2008?
Launch Shakespeare into the woods
McCleary's proposed site and plan garnered acclaim and an enthusiastic response from city officials. They decided to create a master plan for the area, which prevented the Shakespeare Company from launching on the site in 2008. This is where St. George's Episcopal Church, Rev. Gary Sturni, and Barbara Apperson stepped in. They offered both the church and grounds along with the Apperson property as a temporary home-away-from-home for
one year to allow for a pilot season and testing of the idea. If all goes well this autumn…. the goal will be to move forward in Year Two with a larger plan and vision.
What is the larger plan and vision?
Magically Elizabethan, revelatory, and fun
An Arts Park. The original hidden parcel behind Morgan Woods allows for multiple access points on foot in a beautiful woodland already laced with trails in which scenes from each of Shakespeare's plays would erupt, sculpture installations would rotate, children would act out plays they write, music practice sheds would sing out with violins and cellos, dancers would rehearse on an open-air platform, flower gardens would line the paths, and the trees would be lit up at dusk with pastel colors. Nestled within this activity, you would come upon an arbor, through which you would encounter a 600-seat natural outdoor amphitheatre with a 200' x 200' playing area for a performance that night of Macbeth played in 360 degrees. Horses ride in from stage-left, Macbeth murders the King stage-right, and Macduff's avenging English troops arm far upstage under the sweet gum trees for their full-out assault on the Scottish Thane!
Barbara B. Apperson, the generous host of TSC's inaugural outdoor performance component and mother of three, is a long-time resident of Shelby County and an active member of St. George's Episcopal Church. Mrs. Apperson served on the Board of Directors of the Samaritan Counseling Center and the Junior League of Memphis. She is the namesake of TSC's "Barbara B.

|Two of the Best Scenic Drives in Vermont
View looking east from the top of Mount Mansfield, Stowe Vermont
There are many hundreds of miles of scenic drives in Vermont but two of my favorites are Route 108 through Smuggler's Notch, and the Mount Mansfield Toll Road, both in Stowe.
The section of Route 108 that runs from the village of Stowe to the village of Jeffersonville includes a memorable drive through smuggler's Notch. This Notch Road is narrow (no edge marking and no center line), tight, and twisty. You will be driving up a steep grade with deep forests on each side. There are several hairpin turns where you will be going five or ten miles per hour. Unfortunately, the driver won't get to see as much as the passengers because you have to keep your eyes closely on the road. The passengers will have a great time viewing the scenery which becomes more enhanced at the slow driving speed. One of the features of the drive are massive boulders right alongside the road, some of them the size of a small cottage.
At the road's peak, there is a small parking area on the left (coming from Stowe) where you can stop and get out of the car to admire the scenery. There is a hiking trail on the other side of the road. We hiked it once and I did not care much for it. During busy periods, it will be crowded with people and the hike itself is really like a climb up a one mile staircase. However, at the top is a beautiful mountain lake - you can see a picture on the Scrapbook page of the Grunberg Haus web site. A much better hike is along the Long Trail running over Mount Mansfield which you can get to from the Auto Toll Road.
The Stowe Auto Toll Road starts at the parking lot behind the Stowe Inn and rises several thousand feet to the top of Mount Mansfield, the highest mountain in Vermont. To get there, drive on Route 108 from the village of Stowe toward the ski area. About five miles from town, watch carefully for the Toll Road sign which will be small and included with other items of interest at the Stowe Inn. A landmark just before the left turn into the parking lot are some tennis courts also located on the left shortly before the parking lot. Here is a link to Google Maps. Go to the rear of the parking lot and you will see a slim toll booth.
The road starts out on paved road but soon becomes a dirt road. The drive to the top is very twisty and takes about 20 minutes. There are a few pull-off areas along the drive where you can stop and admire the view but the best view is from the top. The photo at the beginning of of this article was taken from the top of the Gondola which stops are few hundred feet short of the toll road parking lot elevation but it gives you a good idea of what the view will look like.
Thee will be a ranger at the building next to the upper parking lot. I suggest you ask him or her the location of Frenchman's Pile. (No, I don't know why it's called Frenchman's Pile. It's just a three foot high pile of rocks.) It's about a 15 minute walk along the mountain ridge hiking trail to Frenchman's Pile and the view from there is truly magnificent. You can see in 360 degrees. To the west you will see the Adirondack Mountains of New York and to the east you will see the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Burlington and Lake Champlain will be right below you and they'll look like a very tiny, miniature town and lake. If you know the villages in the area, or if you have a map, you can pick those out too.
To my mind, this is one of the best things to do in Vermont.
Unfortunately, the road is for cars and pedestrians only. Bicycles and motorcycles are not permitted.
The toll is $21 per car unless you have more than six people in the vehicle, in which case the toll is $6 per person.

I want to switch apps faster than cmd-tab so I created an automator task to launch an app and linked to to a keyboard shortcut through the keyboard preferences. While this works okay without any third party software it is rather slow, not cmd-tab instant. Is there a fast way to switch to an app using a keyboard shortcut?

I ended up getting Alfred's power pack and setup a hotkey there. It's much much faster than the automator service.
It's not free, but you could try Keyboard Maestro and set up some macros. In fact, the first suggestion on their Example Macros page is to set up function keys to switch directly to your most used applications.
Even on a very slow, older Mac, LaunchBar is blazingly fast for me.
It does far more than launch apps, but that's the core function of the tool and it's low resource, rock solid dependable, and ready to grow if you want more features.
Try Apptivate, it worked perfectly for me: http://www.apptivateapp.com
Especially liked its "quick peek" feature.

The No Sweat Shakespeare for Kids series makes the Bard immediately accessible to children.
There have been many attempts to bring Shakespeare's texts to children, beginning with Lamb's Tales. However, modern children find an eighteenth century narrative style inaccessible. Subsequent efforts to present Shakespeare to children have been updated versions of that narrative style of story telling. Modern children don't relate to that style of book – they demand something immediate, where they can enter the world of the text, 'see' the settings, 'hear' the characters speak, and feel their emotions, just as they do when they read the novels of their favourite children's authors. Our Shakespeare for Kids series makes the Bard immediately accessible to children in that way.
A Midsummer Night's Dream for Kids >>
The Shakespeare for Kids series is designed as a resource that can be read by children, or read to them by parents who wish to introduce them to Shakespeare at an early age. Most exciting, though, these resources are designed for the classroom – for teachers to introduce children as young as eight to Shakespeare's plays. They are aimed at children from 8 to 11. No Sweat Shakespeare 's main texts are suitable for older students – teenagers from 11 upwards.
For primary school Shakespeare, junior school Shakespeare, elementary school Shakespeare, grade school Shakespeare or grammar school Shakespeare, these No Sweat Shakespeare children's resources are perfect. They follow the structure of Shakespeare's texts and they tell the Bard's tales with narrative and dialogue based on the original language. The result is a thrilling, absorbing read that gives children a clear understanding of the play and a strong feel of the original.
Although the language is simplified, Shakespeare's original language is retained where it is simple and clear enough. It is remarkable to discover how much of Shakespeare's language is, indeed, simple, clear and modern. Where contentious issues that are unsuitable for children are specifically dealt with in Shakespeare's texts, such as Caliban's attempt to violate Miranda in The Tempest , and the sexual content of Romeo and Juliet , they are removed or glossed over, so that while the texts still retain their major issues, they are safe.
If you are a teacher or a parent wanting to introduce Shakespeare to children in asafe, exciting and effective way, this Shakespeare for Kids series is the resource for you.

Great comedy prop! When you hold the wand, it looks normal, but hand it to a spectator, and it droops! When you take it back, it's straight and normal again! Fabulous comedy potential, and kids really love it!

An animal such as a crayfish relies on gravity to keep its circulatory system running. If it is turned upside down, the gravity works against the system, suffocating the animal. Now if, instead of placing the animal on it's back, we were to take take it to a space station, gravity would not be working against it, and random blood flow plus capillary action should get some blood flowing. Would the animal survive this?

Commemorating World AIDS Day in the City By the Bay
Northern California's Bay Area will host a variety of World AIDS Day events on Dec. 1 to continue to raise awareness of the still-prevalent global pandemic. As reported in 2010, more than 60 million people worldwide have been infected since 1981. Twenty-five million have died, and 34 million are living with HIV/AIDS, with 7,400 people infected each day.
In the United States, almost 1.2 million people are living with HIV, and about one-fifth are unaware of their infection. The World Health Organization created this annual commemoration in 1988, and this year's international theme is "Getting to Zero."
In order to aim toward zero infections, Get Screened Oakland will present the film "Many Women, One Voice: African American Women & HIV," followed by a panel discussion that Saturday from 2-5 p.m., at the University of California-Berkeley's Alumni House, located on the south side of campus, near Bancroft and Dana Ways (visit www.getscreenedoakland.org).
"This powerful documentary explores the impact of HIV/AIDS on women of color through first-hand accounts," said GSO Program Manager Nichole Little. "The voices of these real women strike a resonating chord that stays with you."
The movie and talkback target youth, because "young people need to understand what HIV/AIDS is, as well as what it isn't," added Little, who's also the "Many Women, One Voice" Committee Chair. "And we all need to know that, as world citizens, we are all impacted by this disease, so we're all responsible to do our part."
Silicon Valley's Health Trust agrees that education and communication are key, and said that World AIDS Day is an opportunity to learn the facts about HIV and put that knowledge into action.
"If you can understand how HIV is transmitted, how it can be prevented, and the reality of living with HIV today, you can use this knowledge to take care of your own health and the health of others, and ensure you treat everyone living with HIV fairly, and with respect and understanding," reads the organization's website.
To that end, the Silicon Valley Hike & Bike (www.svhikeandbike.org) will benefit the Health Trust's AIDS Services, and is co-hosted by the Santa Clara University Public Health Department. Registration for the 32-mile bike ride will be held from 8-9 a.m. on Dec. 1. The walk and 11-mile bike ride will have check-in at 9 a.m., and activites begin at 10 a.m. All hikers and bikers will receive a goodie bag, including snacks and a shirt, and special prizes will be given to those who raise $100, $250, $500, or $1,000. Other presentations will happen from noon to 1:30 p.m., including music, speakers, and a poster and video contest.
San Francisco Offers HIV Testing, Mural Painting and More
In San Francisco, the Asian and Pacific Islander Wellness Center is offering an array of events between Nov. 28 and Dec. 7, including ongoing HIV testing and a "Tree of Life" mural painting, under the umbrella of the "We Count" campaign for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
"These days, everyone is calling for the end of AIDS, but we haven't crossed the finish line yet, even if we can see our final goal post for the first time in the epidemic," said APIWC Communications Manager Stephanie Goss. "And some of our communities, including Asians and Pacific Islanders, are not explicitly prioritized in national HIV policy. We must ensure we 'end AIDS' for all of our communities. We can't afford to leave anyone behind."
Their website, www.apiwellness.org/wecount.html, offers a variety of advocacy links such as a Congressional healthcare policy petition, information on how to contact legislators via social media or schedule a policymaker visit, and how to deliver fortune cookies with customized World AIDS Day messages to local, state and national officials.
On Dec. 1, APIWC will show the film "Still Around," followed by an HIV and transgender community discussion titled "Where Are We Now?", from 2-4:30 p.m. at their Center on 730 Polk Street. At the same location on Tuesday, Dec. 4 from 5-7 p.m., they'll hold an event for "Taking Root," a national storytelling initiative that just returned from a workshop on Guam, which puts the power to end HIV stigma into the hands of the community. For more information, visit www.banyantreeproject.org/takingroot.php.

With little more than a day remaining to avert tax increases for almost every U.S. worker and to halt federal spending cuts, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell worked to bridge gaps over income tax rates, the estate tax and other issues.
Theres still significant differences between the two sides but negotiations continue, Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said on the Senate floor today. The Senate will resume its session tomorrow at 11 a.m. Washington time and perhaps have further announcements then, he said. I certainly hope so.
McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, reached out to Vice President Joe Biden in an effort to break the impasse.
Congress is working to avert more than $600 billion in tax increases and federal spending cuts, the so-called fiscal cliff, set to start taking effect in two days. The House and Senate are holding an unusual Sunday session after President Barack Obama on Dec. 28 asked Reid and McConnell to try to find a solution.
The sticking point appears to be a willingness or interest or frankly, the courage to close the deal, McConnell said on the Senate floor. Im willing to get this done, but I need a dance partner.
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Democrat, said unresolved issues include the income threshold at which tax rates would rise, expiring estate tax levels and how to prevent an expansion of the alternative-minimum tax.

Get Your Game On Featured Player: BaileyFebruary 10, 2009
It's been kind of awhile since we posted a featured player, but we're gonna give it another go. First up this time: Bailey. Bailey rocks! She always participates in lots of programs at the library and even won an award at the Manga drawing contest/Anime Fest we had at the Figge Art Museum. I also saw her make a few appearances last summer as Showtime Pal in Junior Theater's weekly performances at the Fairmount St. Library. So, let's get to know a bit more about Bailey, shall we?
Fave book: "Anything manga that isn't inappropriate (Oh, the irony), and Twilight series, and also Hunger Games, too."
Random facts about you: *Laughs* "I'm always random. I have a happy dance when I eat, and I learned how to answer the phone in Japanese the other day. Favorite colors are purple and black. I want to start my own webshow called 'According to Roxas.' As in Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II. I cosplay a lot."
How much is a lot?: "Umm, whenever I feel like it, I guess."
What do you like best about the library?: "Everything. Dude, it's amazing."
What do you want to be when you grow up?: "Manga artist…hopefully that turns into anime. If that fails, then an artist or writer."
Where do you most want to travel to?: "London or Japan."
Most favorite videogames to play?: "Kingdom Hearts and Soul Calibur IV. Also, DDR and Singstar. I forgot to mention those."
Favorite animal cracker to munch on?: "I don't know what kind I just ate. I think it was this buffalo looking thing."
Was it good?: "Yes. Immensely."
Edward…: "What?"
Edward…: "Yes!!! XD" *drools* "Sorry…"
And on that note…here's a pic of Bailey at the Twilight Party we held last November. It shows her with the Twilight Soundtrack she won for being the howling contest winner! That's right, she won the howling contest. Jacob would be so proud. BAILEY: "But I like EDWARD!"

Be agile without compromising transparency or governance. Give your team the tools they want. Adopt best practices that evolve with your needs. Scale your success across the enterprise - all in one simple, elegant solution.
Wonder why your development teams run 2-week sprints, but your customers only get new features every 3 months? Is your development out of phase with operations? Find out what your true velocity could be - from ideation to delivery, with better quality and lower costs.
Do your teams struggle to find the tools they need to be successful? Do they use a mix of open source, commercial, and home-grown gear? Are you trying to standardize tools across teams? Let TeamForge keep tabs on all of your gear, so you don't have to.
Not every project succeeds, but when it does - why not turn it into a blueprint for others? Start from a template based on industry best practices. Tailor it to your unique environment. Share it across projects. Make continuous improvements. Repeat. Drive toolchain, process and infrastructure inefficiency out of your global development.
Starting a new project should not mean adding more servers. A single TeamForge environment can handle thousands of projects across multiple global development centers. Create a new project in minutes, add team members, and start working. Grow your business, not your infrastructure costs.
Are your teams constantly duplicating code instead of reusing it? Do you wish your teams knew what other teams were doing? Consolidate your IP in secure visible project workspaces, build credibility as projects gain momentum, and build the foundation for global enterprise reuse. Why reinvent the wheel when you don't have to?
Insight + Intelligence = Success. Drive smarter processes, make more informed decisions, deliver better applications, and bring your hidden risks to light. See what everyone is working on, at any time – within and across projects Developers should write code, not status reports.

Sebastian Vettel admitted that he is worried that Formula One will lose some of its 'excitement' when the sport switches to V6 engines in 2014...
Sebastian Vettel admitted that he is concerned that Formula One will lose some of its "excitement" when the sport switches to V6 engines in 2014.
Vettel is the latest to voice his concern about the impact the smaller engines will have on Formula One, suggesting that the new cars won't be as exciting to drive as their predecessors.
I am a bit sad because my first test in F1 was in a V10," said Vettel at the Autosport awards ceremony.
"I remember that test, and then we went to a V8 a year afterwards. When I had my second go in an F1 car I could tell the difference.
"I just hope that we are not going down from a power point of view. We will lose the revs which I think is a shame - because it is a new direction that we go into and a new technology.
"I also still remember the first time I went to see F1 was in 1992, it was raining and only free practice in Hockenheim. The cars were only coming out for installation laps, and just to hear the sound of the car coming around, to feel it in the ground; they are the first memories I have.
"I just hope in the future we will not lose this excitement. I think the cars need to smell, the cars need to be loud, it needs to give you something that you don't forget."
Under the new regulations, Formula One is entering a new era and Vettel believes it is impossible to predict at the stage how next year will pan out.
"I think it is very difficult to know, every team and every engine manufacturer probably has an idea of how it should turn out, but it is a surprise at this stage," the German continued.
"Next year getting the cars on the track for the first time will be very interesting and then we see how many engines blow up or not."

Your family and friends need to help you:
Ø Get medical attention. Get it now; they can help with transportation and paperwork.
Ø Feel safe. You do not need to be alone right now.
Ø Be believed. Your family and friends need to tell you that they believe what happened to you, was an assault and is a crime and IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT.
Ø Know it was not your fault many victims feel guilt over what has happened.
Ø Help you take back control of your life. You may feel you have "lost it" friends allowing you to make decisions you can start to regain control.
Friends and Family, You Need To:
Ø Listen and do not judge: Accept what happened and be supportive.
Ø Offer Shelter. A victim does not need to be alone. Offer a place to stay or stay with the victim in their own home.
Ø Be attainable: A victim cannot choose when they feel they need to talk. It may be in the middle of the night. Let them know you are there for them…anytime. You may hear the story over and over. Listen and be supportive. Talking helps heal.
Ø Give comfort: The victim has been treated badly. They need to be nurtured even though you may not see injuries, they are there.
Ø Be patient and understanding: everyone recovers at a different rate. Don't impose your standards on them.
Ø Encourage action: Suggest calling the police, a crisis line, the hospital. Action helps regain control. However, respect the victim's decision if they decide not to prosecute.
Ø Don't be overly protective. Offer options. Encourage decision making.
Ø Put aside your feelings and experiences. Deal with them somewhere else.
What Rights Do I Have In A Relationship?
Ø I have the right to an equal relationship with whomever I choose.
Ø I have the right not to dominate or be dominated.
Ø I have the right to change my mind at anytime.
Ø I have the right to start a relationship slowly.
Ø I have the right to be myself without changing to suite others.
Ø I have the right to change the relationship as my feeling change.
Ø I have the right to dress and act as I choose without promising to have sex.
Ø I have the right to say "NO".

Mission Type: Aerial
NASA Center: Ames Research Center
Principal Investigator: Dr. Peter Jenniskens
P. Jenniskens/NASA-ARC, http://leonid.arc.nasa.gov
NASA: Near-Live Leonid Watching System, http://leonids.hq.nasa.gov/leonids/more.html
Leonid MAC is NASA's first Astrobiology mission. Leonid MAC, a series of 5 missions that took flight in aircraft during the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Its mission is to learn how extraterrestrial materials may have been brought to Earth at the time of the origin of life. In addition, the interaction of meteoroids with the atmosphere generates molecules that may have played a role in the origin of life on Earth.
The 1999 and 2001 Leonid MAC missions gathered a bounty of scientific data. Rates increased to 4,000 meteors per hour in 1999 and 1,300 per hour in 2001.

In late March, the ASPCA played a critical role in a three-state dog fighting raid that resulted in the rescue of nearly 100 animals. A few weeks after this intricately coordinated effort to rescue dogs in Texas, Missouri and Kansas went off without a hitch, we're able to update you on the dogs and the dog fighters.
The Victims
When we found these dogs, many were doomed to live their whole lives tethered by heavy chains—and on the day of the raid, many were left outside to suffer through a blizzard. Now, says ASPCA Vice President of Field Investigations and Response Tim Rickey, they're living in an entirely different world.
When the dogs arrived at our temporary shelter, our veterinary professionals, led by the ASPCA's Dr. Sarah Kirk, examined them quickly and thoroughly. Some dogs needed immediate care, while others require ongoing treatment which they are now receiving from ASPCA and local veterinarians.
An ASPCA behaviorist will be on the ground at the shelter throughout this operation, and while the dogs stay in our clean and spacious shelter, they will benefit from behavioral enrichment programs that incorporate toys, games and lots of fun interactions with people. The dogs will have regular access to one of several large exercise playpens, where they'll get to play with our responders and burn off excess doggy energy.
"Every day," Rickey says, "we're focusing on taking care of these animals and providing the best environment that we can for them."
The Suspects
The ASPCA continues to work to collect evidence and provide other support to law enforcement, working to ensure dog fighters pay for harming these animal victims. The charges are just starting to roll in:
Last week Pete Davis Jr. and Melvin L. Robinson, both of Kansas City, Kansas, were each charged in federal court with one count of transporting animals for participation in an animal fighting venture in interstate commerce. If convicted, they face up to five years in federal prison and a possible fine of up to $250,000.
"The case is not over yet—there's still a lot of work to be done on the investigation side," says Rickey, adding that he hopes to see more arrests in relation to this raid.
The ASPCA had been assisting the FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies with the planning of this large-scale raid since November 2012. ASPCA Blood Sports Director Terry Mills provided his expertise to help these agencies maximize the operation's impact. Our next steps: continuing to provide top-notch care for these animals and working with authorities to secure the right to place dogs in loving homes.
If you've given to the ASPCA recently, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. This raid is an enormous undertaking and a huge commitment, but we are dedicated to being there for animal victims of cruelty whenever they need us. If you haven't yet given lately, please consider doing so today. On behalf of animals across the country, thank you!

2 tablespoons
warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon
white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package
active dry yeast
1/4 cup
warm milk
1/4 cup
plain yogurt, room temperature
4 tablespoons
melted butter
3 cups
unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
poppy seeds
It was great. The first batch I made puffed up alot and was very crispy. The second batch I lowered the temp to 500 and poked the top of the bread in a few places with a fork and they came out beautiful (just like the photograph. Will be making it again.
Eh. texture was nothing like naan....tastewise, yes. however, the dough didn't rise at all for me, and i found a way better recipe from an indian cookbook....i probably did something wrong with the dough, so i may try this again. however, i think cooking naan in a pan is WAAAY easier, i was in a flurry pulling the pans in and out of the oven, etc....tooooo much hard work for something dissatisfying....and a friend of mine asked her mother (who is indian), and she said that it should NOT take four hours to make.

This bread is delicious, even when served with butter or margarine. Takes a little while to make, but it's worth it!
This recipe is fantastic! I slowly added the flour mixture to the yeast mixture as I always seemed to have too much flour. I also cooked it on the grill (high heat) for a minute or two a side- delicious!
Makes great pizza bread. I made a double batch and formed balls then wrapped in saran wrap and froze them. They will expand a little, but thaw very fast. Just roll out and top with favorite pizza toppings. I also added garlic and omitted yogurt, because I didn't have any. Seemed to turn out ok.
This was GREAT! The only change I made was that I used a baking stone (preheated in the oven for 45 min) instead of the pizza pan and baked the naan on parchment paper. It turned out wonderfully! Thank you sooo much for this recipe deanna!
Really very good. Puffed up beautifully and was a nice side to the Chicken Tikka Masala I made. The only substitutions I made: used whole wheat white flour; instead of plain, I used vanilla-flavored yogurt because it is what I had on hand.
I thought it was pretty good, although mine never did rise like the picture...

Lewis Hamilton from the McLaren Formula One team, is the second driver kind enough answer some of our "hard hitting" questions in our latest driver Question and Answer post.
What is your favourite part of the Albert Park circuit?
Lewis: "Turns 11 and 12 – the high-speed esses at the back of the circuit. It's a great sequence of corners because the right-hander is totally dependent on your entry to Turn 11. It's a really satisfying corner to get right: get the line perfect and you can really nail the throttle early and just let the car wash out onto the exit kerbs. And it won't forgive you either – it's grass and dust once you put a wheel over those kerbs, and that's really going to slow you down if you make a mistake. That's the best kind of corner to have in Formula 1."
What is the first thing you think of when you hear the words 'Australian Grand Prix'?
Lewis: "Melbourne has usually been the first race of the new season, so I think of a couple of good memories. Firstly, it was the scene of my first grand prix in 2007, and I can remember being on the grid and realising that I'd achieved my dreams; I was in Formula 1 and driving for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. The start of that race was also incredible – I got a great start and finished third. That weekend still holds fantastic memories for me.
"Another good memory was winning the race there in 2008. After the disappointment of losing the championship at the last possible race of '07, it was the perfect way to get back on track. That was a beautiful, sunny day. A great day."
What is your favourite memory from the Australian Grand Prix?
Lewis: "My favourite memory was probably the first corner in the 2007 race. There was a lot of pressure on my shoulders as it was my first-ever Formula 1 start, but I just relaxed and went for it, lost a place on the straight, but passed two cars into the first corner. It just felt so natural – it was a great way to start my career in Formula 1."
What do you like about Aussie Formula 1 fans?
Lewis: "They're just so passionate – not just about Formula 1, but about sport in general. When we arrive at the track in the morning, we're dropped off just outside the paddock, and there are always lots of people cheering at you and shouting your name. Everybody always wishes you well, too, there's a lot of positive energy. They're not just there to support Mark , they come to enjoy the sport and to see a great race. The best races are always the ones where the fans have the greatest passion."

It seems like most people make a welding cart as their first project.
Well, I finally got around to making this one... work... kind of.
I have 5 of these red utility carts that I paid $49 a piece for some 10+ years ago. This one has gone under the knife multiple times and has kept coming back for more. She may not look like much, but I think there are a couple of ideas buried in here that are worth sharing. You can be the judge if they are good ideas or bad ideas.
1) The cart. I use a small tank on this so it's not too cumbersome.
2) Drawers.
3) 3/4 view.
4) I put this bar on so I could hang my sanders/grinders and keep them close and off the table, floor, under my feet, etc.
5) It's all about the wheels, baby. Built for speed, just like me.

Very nice cart. If it were mine there would have to be a few additional compartments for the items that have high use and I typically misplace when I am hurried.
1.A place for my saftey glasses.
2.A place for my hearing protection.
3.A place for my actual glasses.
Thanks for posting the photos,

In what is being seen by some as a silly feature to add, Firefox 3.6 is apparently getting better support for orientation of where it is at. What does this mean, exactly? Firefox will know, if your computer has an accelerometer in it, if it is tilting to the left, right, front, or back and will respond with the way the web page your looking at is displayed.
Here's a few more details about the new feature coming to Firefox:
Originally built as something that we would include for our upcoming mobile browser release, we've made it available on desktop systems as well. Many modern Macbooks and Thinkpads contain devices and drivers that expose this information. We've added support for Linux, Macs and some Thinkpads where drivers and devices are available.
Overall, this is a pretty awesome new feature for the computers that will support it. This picture really does not do it justice, go check out the video demonstration over at hacks.mozilla.org.
