Dead Nation blasts onto PS Vita this week, new screens insideWritten by: / / 5 Comments
Dead Nation was one of three PS Vita ports announced during Sony's E3 press conference last year. The handheld version is being developed by Climax Studios and will support both online and ad-hoc co-op.
The PlayStation Blog recently surprised everyone by announcing that Dead Nation will be released for PS Vita later today in North America and tomorrow in PAL territories via the PlayStation Store. The game will cost $7.99/€7.99 and the Road of Devastation DLC can be purchased separately for $3.99/€3.99. If you already own either of these items on PS3 then you can pick up its PS Vita counterpart for free thanks to Cross-Buy. However, Cross-Buy only applies to the PS3 version of Dead Nation and its DLC so you're out of luck if you only own Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition on PS4.
Here are some new screens for Dead Nation on PS Vita showing how the game's graphics have been slightly downgraded for the handheld version:

I want to try brewing a beer infused with Red Pepper. My original idea was to infuse it with Tabasco sauce but have read about it going wrong or having a vinegar taste. Being from Louisiana I feel this would be a fun little beer to pull out at parties for my friends to try. Can anyone offer some suggestions as I've never tried to make an infused beer before.
You tagged with first-time-brewer... if this is true, I would caution against making an infused beer right out the gate. Fancy beers can be a tricky proposition.
That said, my best guess is that you could do an infusion similar to using vanilla, since it seems like a similar plant. See this question & answers about vanilla. There's some discussion about making chili beers in the ever-popular HomeBrewTalk forum as well.
Finally, I don't mean to discourage you with that first bit. I've had some chili beers that were amazing, and it's a pretty neat style. Best of luck!
I asked a while back on adding peppers and was given a link to an excellent article on adding chillies to beer. I went with the dry hopping technique, and used chipotle peppers instead of the original plan of jalapenos or habaneros because I wanted the smokey flavor and I was not at all disappointed by the outcome. In fact, I loved it. I want to do it again with a smoked porter.
I'd highly recommend getting fresh peppers of your choosing in case you were contemplating getting flaked red peppers from your store's spice aisle. Reason for that recommendation is because I assume you know your peppers coming from the Louisiana, so you know exactly what you want as far as flavor, seeds vs no seeds, etc. Plus, it's just cooler to roll your own pepper combo instead of some generic pre-done McCormicks bottle of red peppers. Be creative and get a mix of peppers if you want a nice zinger of a beer. Rinse them, chop them up, add them to a small glass of vodka (just enough to cover them, not too much) for a night to help kill off any gunk that might still be on them, and throw them in after fermentation has completed (very important to wait for primary fermentation to complete) in a cheese-cloth-like bag that you'd use for dry hopping. Also, toss in the vodka left behind too, it'll have a lot of the spice in it. Leave them in for a week or two depending on how much of a punch you want to pack, then take the bag out and bottle.
Another idea for you that just came to mind. Since I've already done the chipotle pepper dry hop, next time I may kick things up a notch and even toss in half a teaspoon of cajun spice into the vodka for extra flavor.
The November/December issue of Zymurgy magazine has an article on adding chiles to beer. They recommend pairing a dark beer, like a brown ale, with dried red chiles. They cited examples of brewers either adding the chiles in the boil kettle, or using a dry hopping technique (adding chiles as an ingredient in the fermenter, usually during secondary fermentation).
Like any spice, I think subtlety is the key to drinkability. Also, because peppers are highly variable in terms of heat, even from pepper to pepper, you probably should taste them before deciding how much to add. (For example, I tried to add slices of Serrano pepper to a Belgian golden ale at bottling and the results were overpowering.)
One trick to determine spicing level is to make a tincture by soaking the spice in vodka for a week or more. Prepare 4 oz. of a neutral, all-malt beer (e.g., Michelob). Remove the spice, and add the tincture, drop-by-drop to the glass until you get the taste you like. Remember to refill to 4 oz. each time. Then to get the final amount to add, multiply: (the number of drops) x (32) x (number of gallons in batch that is going into the fermenter). Note: unless you fill a new four ounces, remember that you are slightly diluting the prior concentration when you refill to four ounces and adjust for that.
I sometimes put a whole Serano pepper in each bottle. This is similar to Cave Creek's (www.chilibeer.com) chili beer.
The heat varies depending on the pepper and ranges from insanely hot to crazy insanely hot. Try to get straight peppers that go in and come out of the bottles easily.
After 12 weeks or so the peppers started disintegrating. It's probably best to not let it sit that long.
Putting the peppers in the bottles has the advantage that you can try this with as few as you like instead of risking the whole batch. You don't need to boil or otherwise prepare the peppers cause the beer at bottling time has hops and alcohol for preservation against some wild yeast that may stuck be to the pepper.

Does there exist a lattice-ordered group of rational rank $1$?
This is true for totally ordered group.
Does there exist a lattice-ordered group of rational rank $1$?
If "rational rank 1" simply means that the underlying group is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}$, then every such lattice-ordered group structure $(\mathbb{Q}, \preceq)$ is totally ordered, in fact isomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}$ with its usual order $\leq$.
By a classical result (see the first sentence here), any abelian lattice-ordered group ($l$-group) $G$ can be embedded (by an $l$-group homomorphism) into a direct product of totally ordered non-trivial abelian groups. By projecting to any one of the factors, there exists a totally ordered $l$-group $G'$ and a non-trivial $l$-group homomorphism $f: G \to G'$. By an epi-mono factorization, we may assume $f$ is surjective.
In the case $G = \mathbb{Q}$, any group quotient $G'$ is divisible, and it is well-known that an $l$-group $G'$ is torsionfree (see e.g. here, corollary 1.2.6 page 16). But divisible torsionfree abelian groups are rational vector spaces, so in this situation the quotient $G'$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}$ and $f: G \to G'$ is a group isomorphism. But $f$ is also a lattice homomorphism. Since bijective lattice homomorphisms are lattice isomorphisms, $f: G \to G'$ is a lattice isomorphism, and hence $G$ is totally ordered, as desired.
Finally, a totally ordered $l$-group structure $(\mathbb{Q}, \preceq)$ is given by two submonoids $P, N = -P$ whose intersection is $\{0\}$ and whose union is $\mathbb{Q}$. To show $(\mathbb{Q}, \preceq)$ is isomorphic to $(\mathbb{Q}, \leq)$, we need only show that $P$ contains every multiple $\frac{m}{n}p$ where $p \in P$ is any chosen non-zero element and $0 < m, n$. But clearly the submonoid generated by $\frac{m}{n}p$ contains $0 \neq mp \in P$. Thus $\frac{m}{n}p \in N$ is impossible. This completes the proof.
Edit: Following on Andreas's first interpretation of "rational rank 1" (subgroup $B \subseteq \mathbb{Q}$), the same results hold. For again, we have a surjective $l$-group homomorphism $f: B \to B'$ to a totally ordered $l$-group $B'$, where $B'$ is nontrivial and torsionfree. If $A = \ker(f)$, we have $\mathrm{rank}(B) = \mathrm{rank}(A) + \mathrm{rank}(B')$, where $\mathrm{rank}(B') = 1$ since $B'$ is torsionfree. Thus $\mathrm{rank}(A) = 0$, meaning $A$ is a torsion subgroup of a torsionfree group, meaning $A = 0$. Thus $f: B \to B'$ is a group isomorphism, and we deduce as before it is a lattice isomorphism, so $B$ is totally ordered. We deduce that $B$ is isomorphic to $B$ with its standard lattice structure, by essentially the same argument as in the last paragraph before this edit.

SMITHFIELD - Fifteen-year-old Tyler Wells of Smithfield is "dog-gone' excited about what's ahead for him this month.
The son of Shawna Wells and JR Lerby is heading to Orlando, Fla., with his dog Trace, an AKC registered Siberian Husky, to compete for the top Junior Showmanship title at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship on Dec. 15-16.
The duo - Trace is AKC Grand Champion Diamondt's Comin' On Strong - will be competing not only for best Junior Handler honors but also in the conformation division for the coveted Best of Breed.
Wells is one of 166 junior handlers around the country between the ages of 9 and 18 who will contend for top honors and scholarship dollars at the exclusive, invitation-only event.
He is one of only six junior handlers qualifying from Ohio.
Four scholarships will be awarded to junior handlers during the national championship with the first-place winner receiving $2,000, and $1,500, $1,200 and $1,000 going to second-, third- and fourth-place finishers, respectively.
"I went with my parents to Westminster, and I will be traveling with professional handlers to go to Florida, so it will be very different. They are both exciting and special in their own way," Wells said of his thoughts as the competition nears.
There are 35 Siberian Huskies entered, according to Wells, who attends the Virtual Learning Academy through Buckeye Local High School and lists his interests as hunting and fishing, sledding his dogs and, of course, showing dogs.
Trace was bred by his parents at their kennel - Diamond T Siberians - in Smithfield.
"There are 14,000 entries in all of the different events, and this is the largest entry to date," said Wells, who en route to Florida will be competing along the way.
"I will be stopping in North Carolina to show on the way down to Florida. It will help me and Trace stay in practice for the show," Wells said.
The junior handler competition is judged on the handler's ability to present the dog with skill and confidence. Eligibility to enter is based on the juniors' accomplishments in school and previous dog shows.
Juniors entering are required to:
Be at least age 9 and under 18 years old at the time of the wins.
Have five wins in an Open Class with competition present.
Have a grade point average of at least 3.0, or equivalent, for the two semesters completed immediately prior to the closing of entries.
The AKC's junior handler events are aimed at recognizing and supporting the special relationship between young people and dogs, encouraging responsible dog ownership and promoting dog show participation for future generations, according to Wells' mother.
"The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship is a truly unique event among the world of dogs. It is the largest prize money dog show in the world, with cash and prizes awarded totaling more than $225,000," Wells' mother explained.
"Tyler also will be competing against the adults for the Best of Breed prize with Trace. This duo won an Award of Merit at the Westminster Kennel Club show in 2011 and are honored to be invited to compete in this year's AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. This year, Tyler showed Trace and completed his Grand Championship award, won several points on the family's other Siberian Huskies and completed his dog Aden's AKC championship. Tyler is a junior member of the Fort Steuben Kennel Association and the Siberian Husky Club of Greater Cleveland. His dogs work in harness for sledding and participate in educational events," she said.
Wells explained how he got interested in showing dogs.
"My mom and dad have shown dogs for as long as I can remember. They were breeding Siberian Huskies before I was born," Wells said.
"I have shown several dogs over the years, but Trace has been my main dog for junior showmanship competition. He was born here at my house, and I finished his AKC championship on him myself and have won several working group placements," Wells said.
"Just this year, I handled Trace to several wins to complete his AKC Grand Championship title that earned him an invitation to this year's Eukanuba National Championship. I also handled several of our dogs to wins, earning them championship points. I handled our dog Aden, (AKC Champion Diamondt's Sharp Dressed Man) to his championship this year at the Siberian Husky Club of Indiana's specialty show. Gigi (Diamondt's The Sound of Madness) is our puppy that I am currently showing, and I have put all the championship points on her all by myself. She only needs a couple of more wins to finish her championship. I also handle all breeds of dogs and have had some pretty nice group wins," he said.
With Trace, Wells has had several Best Junior wins, the two most recent ones at Columbus in November and an Award of Merit at Westminster in addition to several Best of Breed wins and several group wins.
Showing dogs is competitive and fun, according to Wells.
"We groom our dogs, do a lot of training, and exercise our dogs so that they are in good condition for the ring. For conformation, the judge looks for the dog that most closely meets the AKC standard for that breed. The AKC standard is a guideline for how the structure, coat, temperament and movement of the dog should be. In Junior Showmanship, the judge is looking for the person who is handling their dog the best on that day," he explained.
"As for how a show runs, there is a lot of work behind the scenes before show day. We are part of the Fort Steuben Kennel Association that puts on a show in Canfield, Ohio, in August and another show in Aliquippa, Pa., in October. Judges are hired several months in advance, and people enter their dogs about two weeks before the show happens. Then, the show secretary organizes everything and creates a judging program that tells you what time and how many dogs are showing and in what ring they will be showing in. The judge and a ring steward (judge's assistant) are in the ring and call your number. When you go in the ring, you position or stack your dog so the judge can examine its bone structure, teeth, coat, etc. You then move your dog around the ring so that the judge can determine how it moves. All dogs in AKC have a standard or written guideline for the judge to go by," Wells said.
When asked how he and Trace prepare for competitions, Wells said, "We practice a lot at Gold Star Kennel in Cadiz, and my parents teach conformation handling classes there. I brush and bath him a lot. We also have to feed them a good quality diet.
Wells likes competing.
"I like the teamwork with my dog. I also like the friends that we meet, and I like traveling to different areas. I am proud of our breeding program and the dogs that it has produced," said Wells, who has enjoyed meeting people from all over the world.
Competing can bring some unexpected pleasures as well.
"The first time I went to Westminster, I was on one of their news shows in the morning with my dog, and then a person for Martha Stewart's Home Living magazine saw Trace and did a photo shoot. He was one of the dogs in the magazine. That was a lot of fun," he said.
Asked what he would like to get across to readers about competing, Wells said, "It is a family sport where professionals and owner handlers can compete against each other. It is a fun and bonding experience with your dog. For the most part, everyone is supportive of each other."
Wells' post-high school plans include studying business in college but he wants to be a professional handler and run his own business some day.
The Orlando show will air on the ABC Television Network on Feb. 2.
Local residents can check their local listings then for air times.

When life becomes precious it is, indeed, the thought that counts. These thoughtful gift suggestions and memorable gift stories come from our friends who've been there.
Thinking back four years ago to the holiday season, I had just had surgery #1 and was gearing up for chemo infusion #1. The leaves had all changed color as they do this time of year and fallen quite dramatically. Overnight, it seemed. Leaves were everywhere; so many in fact, that they totally covered the lawn. You just couldn't see the grass anymore. And I remember looking outside and thinking, "I wish I could go out there and rake the leaves." Such a normal thing to think about doing, and after a cancer diagnosis and a body altering surgery, I certainly was hungry for anything that smacked of normal. But with bandages and drains and stitches, totally out of the question.
Moments after I had that thought, I spotted one of my neighbors in my backyard with one of those excellent leaf blower contraptions. It took him over an hour to clear the back and front of my house, and create impressive mountains of leaves at the curb. This unsolicited kindness - the gift of a "leaf free" yard - unasked for, delivered without fanfare - was the gift I remember most vividly. Later that same night, his wife came over with a baked apple pie to sweeten my memory of their collective kindness even more. That's what I call a gift of the season and I will never forget it.

I have been on chemo during December. It was the pits. I remember lying on the floor in my PJs watching my kids open presents because I was too weak to sit up. However, my friends did many lovely things to get me through the season. Here are just a few:
My family was all long-distance. They helped by not expecting us to travel during this time. They also did not travel to us. Yes, it was lonely, but the extra people in the house, extra fuss for food, etc., would have been too much for us. We had long phone calls on Christmas day after opening the gifts.
With my first breast cancer, I was hospitalized over Thanksgiving in a medical center quite a distance from my family and friends. A very good friend gave me a small stuffed animal (baby swan or cygnet). While that may seem like a strange gift for an adult, I found it very touching and soothing. First of all, my friend was one of my "birding" friends and she knew how important swans were to me. Secondly, for much of my stay, I was all alone in a strange environment. Having that soft stuffed animal to hold and stroke gave me a connection to my friends and family, my other life. Although I am not Catholic, I think it gave me a little bit of insight into the importance of holding Rosary beads during times of concern and worry. I still have that cygnet in its place of honor. And whenever I have had friends in the hospital with cancer, I have given them a small special stuffed animal to help them hold on and link to their other life, their friends and family who will do anything to help them.
See the outstanding Review of Diana Dyers book, A Dietitian's Cancer Story: Information and Inspiration for Recovery and Healing.
I think that most people, when they get over the initial shock of a cancer diagnosis, realize how wonderful and precious life is. Any gift that helps a patient appreciate life, and especially life with family and friends, would be nice, I think. In that light, I would suggest the following:
See Margaret Tobin's Survivor Story on OncoLink
I was diagnosed with cancer on December 19th (also my youngest son's birthday) and had my surgery for breast cancer on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, "cancer has its own calendar". So I understand the additional stress and depression that affects cancer patients and their families on top of the normal holiday blues. Below are a few suggestions from a Chapter entitled How to Support a Loved One With Cancer, from my newest book, Cancer Has Its Privileges: Stories of Hope & Laughter, will help your loved one with cancer have a wonderful holiday season — one that shall forever remain etched in their memories as one of their best...
Cancer at Christmas...Could the Timing Be Any Worse?
Plan to do something for the patient to acknowledge the holidays despite their protests to the contrary. Bring over a small tree, a wreath for the door, decorations for hospital rooms or homes. Help address and mail holiday greeting cards, and the biggest gift of all? Take the decorations down after the holiday season comes to an end!
Create Holiday Cheer at the Hospital for Your Loved Ones
Facing surgery during the holidays can be very depressing for the entire family. Organize a "comfort party" at the hospital or home, complete with carolers and holiday treats. Bring food and beverages along with a holiday guest book for visitors to sign.
Cooking for Comfort and Holiday Cheer
The thought of cooking a holiday meal at the end of the day after having treatments can send even the most positive cancer patient into a downward spiral. Bring a holiday feast, complete with a holiday tablecloth and napkins. Come bake cookies for the day and let the aroma of freshly baked treats fill the house with the smells of the season.
Create a Concert for the Heart
Music can help relax any cancer patient and help take their mind off upcoming treatments or surgery. Post operation, it can soothe anxieties and help patients fall asleep. Bring over some holiday music or arrange for a musician to come play the piano, guitar or just sing carols for the cancer patient. The patient will appreciate the gesture and may even hum or sing along!

When I was diagnosed with leukemia, I learned that without a marrow or blood stem cell transplant, I would mostly likely die. But the best Christmas present I received the year I was diagnosed with leukemia was a gift from a total stranger- a man who had volunteered with the National Marrow Donor Program to donate marrow or blood stem cells. Since no one in my family was a suitable donor, we turned to the National Marrow Donor Program to find a potential volunteer. Just a few days before Christmas they found a matching donor for me.
I know now how lucky I was to have found a donor. Marrow transplants require matching certain tissue traits of the donor and patient. Because these traits are inherited, the most likely match for an African American patient like me was an African American donor.
I was really surprised to hear that the NMDP had found a donor for me because I was told I had a combination of tissue traits that was uncommon.
I learned through my experience that there is a great need for donors from diverse backgrounds to join the National Marrow Donor Program Registry, so that more patients can receive this potentially life-saving treatment.
I encourage you to consider giving one of the following gifts this year:

We've all been there: One minute your stomach looks perfectly fine (think adorable '90s Britney) and the next you feel out-of-control full and puffy (head-shaving meltdown Britney). The culprit is bloat, which has the obnoxious ability to make your clothes feel tight and your rings pinch without setting off any alarms on the scale.
The beast we call bloat could be one of two very different things. The first is the formation of gas in the digestive tract, which can leave your belly uncomfortable and distended. The other is water retention, a buildup of excess fluid that is more likely to affect your limbs, hands, and feet and can be a sign of a serious medical problem. They both cause a swelling sensation, but they have different triggers—and solutions.
So how do you know for sure that your skirt is snug because of bloat? "There should be cyclical variation to it," says gastroenterologist Robynne Chutkan, the founder of the Digestive Center for Women in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and the author of the forthcoming book GutBliss (Avery). "You can't button your pants in the evening, but the next day it's better. It often gets worse as the day progresses." Fluid retention is a bit trickier to distinguish, but take note if your face and limbs, rather than your whole body, appear swollen; other signs include puffy cheeks and sock lines. And don't be surprised to find yourself suffering from both forms, since five or six factors may contribute to a runaway stomach. Fortunately, there are plenty of bloat-busting foods to avoid, others to embrace, and even a few tricks that have nothing to do with what you're eating.

Bought some Brooks a while back for racquetball. Note to self, do not buy running shoes for racquetball. Though very comfortable and supportive, the soles fell off after about 4-5 outings. Before you say, "don't use running shoes for racquetball," I may just add that I used a pair of asics for about a year and half before I shredded them. Food for though, good for a light jog I guess, not much else.
Thanks, ordered two pair. I love Brooks shoes.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I forgot to release the hand brake while I'm driving at around 4 to 5 km. what will happen to my rear brakes?
If this was a one time occurance the damage should be minimal. If the brake shoes were worn or damaged the lining material may have cracked from overheating. This is rare if they were in good shape.
The damage done will depend on the type of parking brake brake along with the extent of wear before the incident. The older design of parking brake used the service brake shoes (the one that normally stop the car) as the parking brake, they are activated by a cable system instead of the normal brake hydraulics system.
Typically if the brake shoes were in good shape a manual readjustment of the shoes will return everything to normal. The manual adjustment consists of turning an adjusting screw inside the brake drum. Most vehicles have an access hole so this can be done without removing the drum. If your car has rear disc brakes you may have a small set of brake shoes behind the rotor that act as the parking brake. If these shoes are worn they will have no effect on normal braking.
Similar to drum style brakes these are adjustable, however the adjustment involves removing the caliper and rotor to get at the adjuster. On some Subarus and Saabs the parking brake is part of the front brake caliper, it uses the normal brake pad as a parking brake. The pad is moved mechanically via a cable. In this type no readjustment is needed, as the pads self adjust with every use.
Depending on to what degree of "on" you had it, anywhere from nearly none to possibly some. Leaving it on the last click (or two, or three, depending on how much slack there is) usually doesn't engage the brakes at all. Especially on older cars.
However, if you left it on fully engaged, then it could wear the brake shoes or pads prematurely, and cause damage to them. It would also probably start smelling as well.
So if your car wasn't on fire, you probably wore them out a bit more than usual but nothing to be concerned about. Especially if it didn't even smell like burning brake pads.
If car still brakes effectively without shuddering all should be well.Handy hint-if your car has discs and you're unsure when to change pads visually inspect.If pad material is thinner than the backing plate time to change.In any case you should hear screecher if they're are due but don't rely on it.Some are known to remove them
...in other words: no damage, only that the parts would get a lot hot and some little degree of worn out for the brake shoes/pads. One thing very important tho: if that happens again NEVER pour water to the brakes, even if they smoke. Never do that, those metals will get very hot, if you water them, they will bend and in the typical scenario, they may crack.

I've been writing an essay for school and I've been wondering what did sectionalism have to do with the American Civil War? Does sectionalism include the Missouri Compromise and the breaking away of the South? If not, what are some other examples?
closed as too broad by Samuel Russell, Semaphore, Pieter Geerkens, choster, Steven Drennon♦ Sep 25 '14 at 23:17
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Sectionalism was in fact a major element of the civil war. At the risk of oversimplifying, the strongest conflict was between the Northeastern industrial states (New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey), and the "South,"( basically the 11 states that made up the Confederacy). In addition, there were two other sections: the Midwest, and border states such as Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri.
President Thomas Jefferson (a Virginian), feared that the Midwestern states (and "Middle South: states such as Tennessee and Mississippi), might try to break away from the 13 colonies and form a connection, either among themselves, along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, or with British Canada over the Great Lakes, and down the St. Lawrence River. That's why he was so eager to purchase New Orleans to mollify them. (He actually made the "Louisiana" purchase.)
Other Southerners initially felt that the "agricultural" (food-producing) Midwest would find common cause with the "agricultural" (cash crop) South against Northeastern industrial and banking interests. In this regard, the Mississippi River might unite the Midwest and South, against the Northeast.
But the building of the Erie canal connecting the Great Lakes and the Hudson River pushed the Midwest agricultural trade to the Northeast. The Midwesterners found that Northeasterners needed more (and paid better for) their wheat than the South, which preferred its own corn. Also, Northeastern woolens suited the cold climate Midwest better than Southern cotton (in the days before central heating).
And Midwesterners felt that southern slave (and cash crop) agriculture undercut their (food) farming practices, and therefore considered the South competitive with, rather than complementary to themselves. Hence, the Midwest ultimately sided with the Northeast in the Civil War.
The rift between slave and free agriculture was particularly acute in the border states, e.g. in Missouri, and in Maryland between the pro-union Piedmont and the pro-slavery Tidewater regions. Most of the above mentioned border states had mini "civil wars" that were resolved in favor of the North. West Virginia "seceded from secession" (Confederate Virginia) and joined the North.
In the end, three regions, the Northeast, Midwest, and border states, plus the isolated western states of California and Oregon joined together and "ganged up" against the 11 Confederate states, thereby giving the civil war its character.

In April 2004 I started blogging. When it started, I wrote about things that I would have posted on uw.general (the wild west of amazing backchannel at U of Waterloo once upon a time) – status updates on the main web page, standards, and other interesting things. That evolved into an interesting timeline of life events over the years. In looking back I can see my transition from a coder working away at web stuff to a dad and entrepreneur. What I learned going back over my blog's 10 years:
- Writing more means I have become a better writer or expect more from my writing which means I blog less.
- Going through my old posts reminded me that startups need community more than anything – that is what gave me the confidence to build one.
- It is fun to build things. I don't want to ever stop doing that.
- I need to shift back to a balance of sharing life events and writing about things I am passionate about.
This is my current top 10 in the last 10 years.
- Back then I was really excited about web development, this is when I first started thinking about Ruby on Rails in January 2005.
- It wasn't until the summer of 2006 when I really got excited about development — that summer was a big with the development of some interesting things on rails.
- January 2007 my first son was born (and it was mentioned in the Daily Bulletin at the bottom!) – I posted about the next 3 kids but this one was the first.
- January 2007 started the mobile project that became VeloCity. As part of that project we built a twitter clone, UW Chatter. It didn't go anywhere but it was cool.
- I started a new job in with the Special Projects Group and I was President of the University of Waterloo Staff Association – that work inspired TribeHR for me.
- StartupCampWaterloo was launched. It was small. In early 2008 we hosted the second one at it was big, over 100 people attended including the infamous David Crow and future CDL G7 member Jevon MacDonald. Then in the fall of 2008 we got really excited about the Startup Community in Waterloo at StartupCampWaterloo3 even though the economy was falling apart.
- TribeHR was unveiled at DemoCampGuelph – that demo had a bad connection to the projector, lots of laughing, and 4 years later it was acquired by Netsuite.
- IgniteWaterloo started and I did the opening presentation as a last minute stand in!
- The moment I truly felt VeloCity was successful and the startup community in Waterloo is heading to an awesome place with the amazing 7cubedproject.
- I learned how important things like fishing with kids are.
In 2013 and 2014 so far my posts have almost been entirely focused on the work I am doing. The last 2 years have seen a big shift in my focus to family but that doesn't come out in my blog at all. I will work on that.
The next 10 years are going to be fun!

When I speak English, I can't tell the difference between cycle and psycho, I pronounce them the same.
And it's not only cycle vs. psycho; when words end in -le or -o, I always confusee them.
How to pronounce them correctly?
When I speak English, I can't tell the difference between cycle and psycho, I pronounce them the same.
And it's not only cycle vs. psycho; when words end in -le or -o, I always confusee them.
How to pronounce them correctly?
The second syllable of cycle has the syllabic consonant (=acts like a vowel) l. Your tongue should be the front of the palate at the alveolar ridge, perhaps extending a bit to the teeth. You hold it there and create the syllabic center, even though it is traditionally classed as a consonant.
The second syllable of psycho is quite different, in that o it is a rounded vowel, and your tongue should not be touching your mouth anywhere.
Though I love tchrist's answer regarding the mechanics of pronouncing the words differently, I think that the fact is simply: there's an "L" in cycle. If you don't pronounce the "L", for whatever reason - cultural, lazy style, regional dialect - you will always stand the chance of being misunderstood, particularly by native speakers.
You mention "American English", so I suspect you are having a difficulty with the 'dark L'.
There are two (or more) L-sounds in (many varieties) of English: clear L and dark L.
Clear L is pronounced much like it is in French, Spanish, or German: /l/ in IPA. In American English it's usually found as initial L in words like leaf for example.
Dark L, /ɫ/ in IPA, is pronounced with the tip of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth behind the teeth, with the back of the tongue retracted back toward the throat. The sound is very much like /w/. In American English it's often found as final L in words like full or bottle.
You might be confusing /ɫ/ with /w/ in your speech. The way to avoid this is to ensure that in /ɫ/ the tip of your tongue touches the ridge behind your teeth.
Note: the distribution of the clear vs. dark L in various dialects of English is pretty complex so it's not surprising you may have a problem.
I can only speak for my own accent here; but for me, the -le ending and the -o ending are completely different.
To say -o as in psycho, my tongue stays low in my mouth, and the corners of my lips move inwards from the sides, making a slightly circular shape.
To say -le as in cycle, my lips don't move, but my tongue comes upwards and strikes the roof of my mouth. Most importantly, I continue voicing the sound until just after my tongue has struck the roof of my mouth - I don't let it tail off. That way, the L sound is clear for everyone to hear.
It will depend on the particular accent. There is an old joke that relies on it being possible to confuse the two, at least in some accents:

NIPSCO's Green Power Program is a voluntary program that allows you to designate a portion or all of your monthly electric usage to be attributable to power generated by renewable energy sources, such as wind power.
Log on to your account or call (800) 4NIPSCO
NIPSCO electric customers may designate 25, 50 or 100 percent of your monthly electric usage to be attributable to power generated by renewable energy sources. Commercial and industrial customers have the added flexibility to designate five or 10 percent of their monthly usage. You may change your participation level or cancel at any time at any time at no added cost.
When you sign up, NIPSCO buys renewable energy certificates (RECs) on your behalf. RECs are the environmental attributes associated with electricity that is generated from renewable sources.
NIPSCO Green Power Program RECs are certified through Green-e® Energy, the nation's leading renewable energy certification and verification program. Green-e Energy provides independent, third-party certification to ensure that certified renewable energy meets strict environmental and consumer-protection standards.
Your purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs) is supporting electricity production in Midwestern states. You will continue to receive your electricity bill from NIPSCO. For every unit of renewable electricity generated, an equivalent amount of RECs is produced. The purchase of RECs helps offset conventional electricity generation in the region where the renewable electricity generator is located. The purchase also helps build a market for renewable electricity and may have other local and global environmental benefits such as reducing global climate change and regional air pollution. For more information about RECs, please visit www.green-e.org.
Customers who enroll in the Green Power Program will pay a monthly premium in addition to NIPSCO's standard, regulated electric rate. The added costs are passed through directly to customers, with no mark up or financial return for NIPSCO. Non-participating customers are not responsible for additional charges associated with making this program available.
NIPSCO's current green power rate is $0.000765 per kilowatt-hour ("kWh"). The chart below will help show how the premiums will work.
The NIPSCO green power rate is subject to change depending upon the source of renewable energy certificates and number of participants in the program, and may be adjusted twice each year through filings with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). Visit this page for the most up-to-date rate information.

The holidays are a great time of year to teach children the importance of giving. While this should be taught all year round, the holidays remind us of the abundance we all take for granted. When I was a child my parents always donated food to the food pantries in the fall to help with winter shortages. My brothers and I all got to pick some can goods to give away. I was all for giving anything that I myself didn't want to eat. I figured that we could live without lima beans, Brussels sprouts, and canned spinach. However, my mother wouldn't let us off that easy. After we went through and gave away the food we didn't want, we had to give away something we loved to eat. In my case, it was corn. Why would anybody give away a perfectly good can of golden nibblets corn? My mother set me straight right away. She explained that if all you give away are things you really don't want or need then you aren't giving with a charitable heart. In order for your act of charity to be genuine, it must be given from a place of love. After hearing that, I guess I could part with the corn.
We also had to go through our toys in November and give away items that were not being used. I made my daughter do this same activity, because it is ridiculous how many toys a child can receive at Christmas, given the generosity of grandparents. This made room for the new toys and gave those in need something new as well.
Children are always watching what you do and some of the best teachable moments are those that arrive naturally out of circumstance. My Dad used to pick up hitchhikers when I was a kid. Back in the 1970's, this wasn't uncommon. One Saturday when we were on our way to a matinee, he picked up a hitchhiker in pouring rain. I was less than thrilled, because this wet, dirty person had climbed in the back seat next to me. I didn't like having a stranger sit that close to me. At the next exit, Dad got out and gave the man a few dollars and took off the jacket he was wearing and handed it to him. I was watching this all. When he got back in I said, "Dad! Why did you give him your jacket?" He just replied, "Sissy, I have more jackets at home. He didn't have one." That lesson stayed with me the rest of my life. My parents are exceptionally good people. They always taught us to never turn down an opportunity to help someone.
May you have a blessed holiday season and remember to share the abundance that is yours, because to those whom much has been given much is expected.

Berry Habit May Help Women Avoid Heart Attacks
Jan. 14, 2013 -- Young and middle-aged women who eat blueberries and strawberries regularly may help lower their risk of a heart attack later.
In a new study, researchers wanted to focus on whether substances known as anthocyanins are good for the heart.
Anthocyanins are antioxidants, substances found in plants that protect and repair cells from damage. Anthocyanins provide the red, blue, and purple colors found in strawberries, blueberries, and other fruits and vegetables.
The study followed more than 93,000 women for 18 years. The women, ages 25 to 42 when they joined the study, reported on their diet every four years.
A trend toward lower risk of heart attack was found in women who ate more than three servings of blueberries and strawberries weekly, compared to those who ate fewer servings. A serving is roughly half a cup.
"Substances naturally present in red/blue colored fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of a heart attack 32% in young and middle-aged women," says Aedin Cassidy, PhD, a researcher at the University of East Anglia in the U.K.
The new findings echo those of other studies showing that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is linked with lower heart disease, says C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles.
Merz says the study is observational, meaning it does not prove that berries help with heart health. Women who eat berries may also have other healthy habits that could prevent heart attacks, she says.
Berries & Heart Attack Study: Details
Researchers chose blueberries and strawberries because they are among the most commonly eaten berries.
They divided the women into five groups based on how much of the fruits they ate. Women who ate the most berries had the greatest impact on their heart attack risk.
Cassidy and her team also looked at other factors that are known to raise heart attack risk. These included age, high blood pressure, a family history of heart attack, being overweight or obese, exercise habits, smoking, and drinking caffeine and alcohol.
Women who ate more of the fruits also reported other heart-healthy habits, such as being less likely to smoke and more likely to exercise.

With the rising costs of prescription drugs, many people are having a tough time footing the bill.
Throughout the spring and summer, the Bowling Green Social Security office is attempting to reach more than 14,000 individuals in our area that may be eligible for a new plan.
"We see people doing anything they can do to supplement income just so they can afford prescription drugs."
Social Security District Manger, David Kent Smith says individuals will be able to sign up for the new program later this year.

Right of cancellation
You can cancel your contract within the 14 day deadline without declaring any reasons, either in writing (e.g. by letter or e-mail) or if the goods have been delivered - by returning the goods before the expiry of the deadline. The time limit begins after receipt of this notice in written form, but not before receipt of the goods(in case of recurring deliveries of similar goods, not before receipt of the initial delivery) and also not before fulfilling the obligation to inform in acc. article 246 § 2 in connection with § 1 para. 1 and 2 EGBGB as well as our duty in acc. § 312g para. 1 clause 1 BGB in connection with article 246 § 3 EGBGB.

Consequences of cancellation
In the case of a valid cancellation both parties have to return the goods/payments received and profits, if applicable (i.e. interest) shall be reimbursed. If the goods cannot be returned in the condition in which they were delivered, the customer is required to make a financial compensation for devaluation. This however does not apply if the condition of the goods is such as it would be in any shop after a legitimate inspection of the goods by the customer. The customer can avoid the obligation to provide compensation for devaluation by not using the goods for the purpose they were originally intended and by refraining from doing anything that could impair their value.

Obligations for the refund of payments must be made within 30 days. The deadline begins for the customer with the dispatch of the notice of cancellation or return of goods, for the contractor upon receipt.
Your right of cancellation shall expire prematurely if the contract, upon express request, has been executed in full by both parties prior to your exercising your right of cancellation.
