Thousands of Washington area residents are expected to join today in activities fulfilling President-elect Barack Obama's nationwide call for community service.
The "Renew America Together" initiative is meant to revitalize neighborhoods and re-inject the spirit of community service into Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The federal holiday, first observed 23 years ago, has long been tied to a call for volunteerism, and Obama has said he wants to build on that mission as part of the many events leading to tomorrow's inauguration.
Obama and Vice President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. plan to participate along with their families in service activities in the Washington area, with details yet to be announced.
At yesterday's concert at the Lincoln Memorial, the opening ceremony of Obama's inauguration, Martin Luther King III encouraged the crowd to volunteer and said, quoting his father, that "everybody can be great, because anybody can serve."
There is still time to select from a range of activities, listed on the Web site http:/
About 8,500 events across the country are listed on the site, topping the 5,000 events recorded last year, according to a federal agency that promotes the service day. About 500,000 people participated last year in service activities.
In Washington, one of the biggest such efforts will take place at RFK Stadium. Thousands of volunteers are expected to join in creating 75,000 care packages to send to military troops. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) is among those expected to attend a closing ceremony at 4 p.m.
Most events involve cleaning up neighborhoods and schools, although some organizations appeared to get creative, one offering a free walking tour of historic black sites in the District and another staging a demonstration at Gallery Place to draw attention to vegetarianism.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
Original article "...Trump appears to have a deep financial dependence on Russian money from persons close to Putin. And this is matched to a conspicuous solicitousness to Russian foreign policy interests where they come into conflict with US policies which go back decades through administrations of both parties. There is also something between a non-trivial and a substantial amount of evidence suggesting Putin-backed financial support for Trump...." (Editor's pick)
Original article "Trump's relationship with Putin and his warm views toward Russia, which began in the 1980s when the country was still part of the Soviet Union, have emerged as one of the more curious aspects of his presidential campaign." (Editor's pick)
Original article "It started with this article, in which Trump's views on NATO, the Turkey coup, and other matters were summarized, but it caused such a commotion that the Times published the entire interview, and it is really a sight to see – good news for us anti-interventionists, and very bad news for the internationalists, i.e. the entire foreign policy Establishment."
Original article "And once again, the military-industrial complex reaps billions of tax dollars, and delivers utter crap."
Original article "On Tuesday, July 12, a huge event happened in the investing world. But if you're like most Americans, you probably haven't even heard about it. The mainstream media didn't discuss this event much. It was too busy pointing out that the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have hit new all-time highs. Meanwhile, something much bigger was happening on the other side of the world."
Original article "Now, the whole shebang depends on debt. All of this debt is calibrated in 'money,' which is the most extraordinary thing of all. The key to understanding today's economy is to realize that money isn't wealth and today's dollar isn't even money."
Original article "An 18-year-old German-Iranian believed to have acted alone killed nine people in a shooting spree with a pistol at a busy shopping center in Munich on Friday evening. This is just the latest in a spree of 'mass shootings' which have prompted increasingly zealous calls for 'gun control' from President Obama and his supporters. With 2 dead and 16 wounded in Chicago (which is among America's most-gun-controlled cities), we thought some facts about acquiring and...
Original article "Despite sources outwardly rejecting any link to radical Islam, the BBC still felt it necessary, in isolation, to scrub any reference to the name 'Ali' in the killer's name. The organisation chose to report his name as 'David Sonbaly' on social media, on broadcast TV, and in its online coverage. After Breitbart London reported the news, which subsequently featured on the powerful news aggregation site the Drudge Report, the BBC began to quietly alter its coverage...
Original article "On Thursday, the residents of Hugo, population 750, started getting calls from local officials about the drinking water. They were told it was contaminated and to avoid drinking the water or letting their pets drink it, and even to avoid bathing in it. The purported danger came not from lead or arsenic or E. coli or any of the usual contaminants, but THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis."
Original article "U.S. police officers, the New York Times reports, are taught early on that making a drug arrest on the spot requires the use of an elementary chemical test. These tests aren't admissible in court, but since the majority of drug cases are resolved by plea deals, many innocent and poor people go to jail simply out of fear."
Original article "As the nanny government and Police State encroach ever further on our civil rights and liberties, it would be advisable to keep watch for other states attempting similar saliva-based drug testing — especially given the arbitrary, hastily implemented science upon which such tests are founded."
Original article "Yes, you read that correctly. John Kerry actually thinks that murderous fanatics are just dangerous as your air conditioner."
Original article "A team of scientists at the Boston Children's Hospital have invented what is being considered one the greatest medical breakthroughs in recent years. They have designed a microparticle that can be injected into a person's bloodstream that can quickly oxygenate their blood. This will even work if the ability to breathe has been restricted, or even cut off entirely."
Original article "By following honeyguides, a species of bird, people in Africa are able to locate bees' nests to harvest honey. Research now reveals that humans use special calls to solicit the help of honeyguides and that honeyguides actively recruit appropriate human partners. This relationship is a rare example of cooperation between humans and free-living animals."
Original article "In the first controlled study of its kind, a team of scientists at Dartmouth College has found that two species of non-human primates – the slow loris (Nycticebus coucang) and the aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) — can discriminate varying concentrations of alcohol, and further, that both species prefer the highest available concentrations."

Word games and party/family games are my "bread and butter". Catchphrase, Scrabble, Scattergories, MadGab and Cards Against Humanity are probably my Top Five. I have been known to get excited over deck-building games, but finding other players was always hard to do. I have never played but am hoping to play Ticket to Ride soon -- it seems really interesting.
Catchphrase, The Game of Life, Scattergories, MadGab, Monopoly, Pictionary, The Game of Knowledge, Apples to Apples (Expansion), Scrabble, Beyond Balderdash, Trivial Pursuit (Genus IV - i.e. old version)
I'm super new to boardgames but I'm excited to see what this group is all about. I'm a sometimes awkward, always quirky, fun-loving guy. When I'm not pondering how to act my age (30), I can be found reading, videogaming, singing or moviegoing.
I am really pleased with the first MeetUp I attended. Everyone was really nice and Kevin did an expert job showing us the ropes of 7 wonders. As somebody who was intimidated about not knowing many of the games listed, I'm so glad I went. I had a lot of fun and everyone was really gracious about giving us newbies time to be brought up to speed. I will definitely come back and see what other games I didn't know I've been missing ;)

OKLAHOMA CITY -- For the first time since a 2001 plane crash killed 10 men associated with the Oklahoma State men's basketball program, the Cowboys and Cowgirls will play on the anniversary of the crash.
Oklahoma State will host a doubleheader Saturday in Stillwater. A women's game between the Cowgirls and Baylor (No. 11 ESPN/USA Today; No. 13 AP) will be played in the afternoon, with the Cowboys' (No. 16 ESPN/USA Today; No. 13 AP) game against Iowa State to follow in the evening.
Neither Oklahoma State squad has played a Jan. 27 game since the plane crash, which killed players Daniel Lawson and Nate Fleming, director of basketball operations Pat Noyes, publicist Will Hancock, trainer Brian Luinstra, manager Jared Weiberg, play-by-play announcer Bill Teegins, radio engineer Kendall Durfey and pilots Denver Mills and Bjorn Fahlstrom.
The plane had taken off from the Jefferson County Airport outside Boulder, Colo., after the Cowboys had played Colorado and crashed in a snowstorm a short time later about 40 miles east of Denver in a pasture near the town of Strasburg.
Part of the reason Oklahoma State hasn't played on a Jan. 27 since the crash is that that date never fell on a Saturday, a day of the week on which most college basketball teams schedule games.
The Big 12 Conference office in suburban Dallas determines the league schedule. Big 12 spokesman Bob Burda said Friday that Big 12 officials, including associate commissioner Tim Allen -- who develops the schedule -- discussed with Oklahoma State officials the possibility of having a game this season on Jan. 27.
"OSU said it was comfortable playing on the 27th, provided they were able to play at home," Burda said.
The league can be flexible, Burda said, even on weekend dates. For example, when an ice storm kept the Cowboys from traveling to Nebraska for a Jan. 13 game, the league postponed the game until March 5.
"We're certainly sensitive to their situation," Burda said.
Weiberg was the nephew of Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg.
Oklahoma State, after consulting with victims' family members, decided not to hold a formal service Saturday at the site of a memorial to the men, which is located in the lobby of Gallagher-Iba Arena, OSU spokeswoman Carrie Hulsey-Greene said.
"A lot of the thinking is because we have a memorial that people pass by every day, that's a way for the university and everyone attached to the university to remember those people every day," Hulsey-Greene said.
OSU opened the memorial to the public Friday and planned to do so Saturday before the women's game against Baylor. At both the Cowgirls' game and the Cowboys' game, moments of silence to remember the victims will be observed, athletic department spokesman Kevin Klintworth said.
A banner with the names of the 10 men, the date of the crash and the phrase "We Remember" hangs inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
At 6:37 p.m. CT -- the crash took place at about 5:37 p.m. MT -- the OSU library's carillon will toll 10 times in memory of the victims. As he has done on each anniversary, OSU Vice President for Administration and Finance David Bosserman will lay a wreath at the crash site memorial in Colorado.
The Oklahoma and Colorado memorials -- located about 465 miles apart -- are similar, each featuring pictures of the 10 men and words chosen by their families.
During the games, efforts to launch the inaugural "Remember The 10 Run," which is planned for April 21 in Stillwater, will begin. The run is the brainchild of 1986 Oklahoma State alumnus Kerry Alexander, the program manager for the Oklahoma College Savings Plan. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the university's counseling services, Alexander said.
Former Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton will serve as the event's honorary chairman.

How US President General Dwight Eisenhower sold out the human race in pact with rogue extraterrestrials?
In addition to President Dwight David Eisenhower (Ike) and other top brass, the Muroc Airfield meeting with extraterrestrials on February 20- 21 1954 was attended by a "Wise Men" group of four members of civil society, that is, those who were not politicians, intelligence agents, or members of the armed forces, all in their 80s. They were GERALD LIGHT, a metaphysical scientist; EDWIN NOURSE, a leading economist; JAMES FRANCIS MACINTYRE, bishop and head of the Catholic Church in Los Angeles; and FRANKLIN WINTHROP ALLEN, a well-known journalist.
Says exopolitics scholar Michael Salla: "The four represented senior leaders of the religious, spiritual, economic, and newspaper communities and were advanced in age and status. They would certainly have been plausible choices for a community delegation that could provide confidential advice on a possible public response to a First Contact event involving extraterrestrial races."
The meeting was at once awesome and terrifying to most of the people present, who thought they had met supernatural beings and the world had come to an end. In a highly emotive letter to a confidante dated April 16 1954, Gerald Light underlined his fear, shock, and bewilderment in the following words: "I had the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end with fantastic realism. For I have never seen so many human beings in a state of complete collapse and confusion, as they realised their own world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description."

Appparantly I'm the only one on the Internet experiencing this problem because I can find ZERO other reports of anyone else encountering it. Unfortunately I've been dealing with it for months and I don't know what else to do.
sometimes when I attempt to delete a folder from visual studio 2010, I get the error
unable to delete folder 'XXXX' this function is not supported on this system
I can't delete it from the file system either unless I reboot the machine. Apparently there is a lock on it somewhere, but I can't find it. I tried to use Unlocker, but that doesn't work on Windows 7 x64 so I'm stuck.
This happens most often with the App_Theme folder, though it happens with other folders as well.
I would suspect it has something to do with source control (we are using sourcegear fortress), however I've encountered this error at home on my personal projects, and I don't use source control on that...
so does anyone have any ideas? has anyone out there experienced this issue? please help, it's driving me quickly and certainly towards insanity.

Carry On [4] by Rainbow Rowell
publication date: 2015
pages: 517
Carry On [5] was another entrant in the "Chosen One" category, a la Harry Potter, Frodo, and countless other (usually YA) novels wherein a main character is given a Herculean task and, after many trials and tribulations, completes it. However, our hero in this story -- Simon Snow -- wasn't necessarily the wizard any of us would have chosen for the job. He's a self-proclaimed "thug" who thought more about food than magic.

I've read many questions about project-management in emacs, though they don't seem to be getting at how I like to work (which dates back to Borland days).
Basically, I'd like to create my own hierarchy of files from which I can open files for editing. This would be distinct from the directory structure : Often there are files that make logical sense to be collected together from an editing point of view, but are not in the same directory, etc.
At the moment, I've been working with scitepm, which is a side-bar launcher for the editor SciTE (a Scintilla derivative). But it seems to me that emacs must be able to do something similar - I just can't tease out my specific use-case from the various descriptions of eproject, speedbar, etc...
Any pointers? Or is my workflow hopelessly retro?

I understand that calling Thread.Abort() is BAD AND WRONG because of various reasons
- Can be locking or in other critical region
- Could be midway through an I/O operation, resource won't get cleaned up
- Code can swallow ThreadAbortException
- Could be midway through a state change operation, and leave the program in an invalid state.
Assuming that the thread's Run() method:
- Does not use concurrency primitives.
- Does not perform any I/O.
- Does not swallow such exceptions.
- Is exposed to a read-only API, so cannot change program state.
If I were to call Abort() on such a thread, is the damage done (with regards to corruption) localized? As in, can I rely on my program, sans the recently aborted thread, to continue to behave normally, or is my entire process/AppDomain/?? then potentially corrupted?
If I remove assumptions 1 and 2 would abort() corruption be localized to the specific concurrency primitives and i/o resources it accessed? Or can it propogate outwards?
Why am I flogging the Thread.Abort() dead horse:
I'm writing a thick client c# winforms application. One feature s the ability for the user to write code in c# which implements interfaces on my domain objects which can then be plugged into my application (code is compiled into an assembly via codedom and loaded using reflection);
So the idea is the user could then write
public class CustomComputation : IComputationThing
public void Compute(object context)
while (true) ;
and I could then reflect on the generated assembly, extract and instantiate an instance of
CustomComputation, and call
Compute(...); Pretty straightforward stuff.
The problem is that the user could then write, well, the above - an infinite loop, or some other exponential time computation he decides he doesn't want to wait for.
I am trying to investigate my options for providing a best-effort recovery for when users write some infinite-looping (or exponential time etc) code and wants to abort from that. While I do intend to ask users to adhere to a cancellation pattern but ultimately there is no guarantee that they will.

So it only has 2 HDMI inputs, that seems to be everyone's beef with this TV. That still enables you to connect your cable/dish box and a Bluray player. It also has AV/Component hookups for older players or video games. If you NEED more than two HDMI units hooked up (at once) you can buy a switch or just change a cable which takes all of 5 seconds. Also it's NOT a smart TV, but most Bluray players on the market ARE "smart" (Wi-fi & wired internet connectable) so there you go. Your TV is internet ready if you buy a Bluray, and really most people will get one since they already buying an HDTV. Anyway there's a couple reasons why this otherwise stellar TV is considerably more affordable than it's brethren....so it's hardly a reason to criticize it. It is what it is, and it leaves out those "extras" that you really don;t need, and that's why it's on sale for $800, or a max of $1100 if you miss the sales. Awesome picture, great "soap opera effect"- if you like that in a TV, (you can easily turn the smooth motion off if you don't like it). Remote has light-up buttons (a novel idea). TV is easy to set up- 4 screws to put the 2-pieced base together, and 4 screws to mount the base to the TV. Then plug it in, turn it on, select you setup items (language, cable/antenna, etc) and you're watching TV in a couple minutes. People say the sound is "horrible" and "tinny" and "just awful"...but really the sound is fine, in fact it gets pretty decently loud for a TV. EVERY thin LED TV you buy will suffer in the sound department because you can only fit so big of speakers on the unit. I tell you though, I had an old Sony WEGA flat screen boob tube TV with virtual surround, and this Samsung's stock speakers blow it away. It's crisp, has a little bit of muddy bass value, and has a nice surround kind of essence. It's perfectly fine for day to day TV watching. If you're really into "surround" sound or theater-like sound, you're going to buy a separate system for that anyway, so let's not knock these otherwise fine stock TV speakers. I am thoroughly happy with this TV and unless you have 3 or 4 items that you MUST have hooked up all at once to HDMI there should be no reason why this TV would disappoint in any way. I would buyt his TV all over again if I ever had to...except maybe I'd spring for a 60"...you get spoiled with these big screens and you want more!!
I bought this TV for my bedroom in my new house and I am very satisfied with my purchase. While I don't consider this TV big enough for an entertainment room, it is just right for a bedroom. It has plenty of ports for your Blu-ray/DVD players , Video Game Consoles or Cable/Satellite Boxs. As with most TVs you will probably want to invest in some kind of external audio system as the speakers on the TV are not very loud. I highly recommend this product, overall Samsung produced a good sized TV with great picture quality for a reasonable price.
A huge improvement in picture quality over my previous Panasonic plasma. I love it!
Since my wife and I are older, we decided to not get a Smart TV and get the Samsung 50" LED TV and add a Samsung Blu-ray player. This worked out for our needs and we can do many additional things, since we added the Blu-ray player. Our sons set up the TV and Blu-ray player for us and it went very quickly. They did have to go out and get an additional 6 foot HDMI cable, but that was no problem. We watched a movie that evening and the clarity was fantastic! We had an older regular TV(not flat screen TV) and what a difference to have a newer flat screen TV. I was on the couch on the side(not straight in front of the TV) looking at the TV and it was clear. We are very pleased with the Samsung 50" TV and look forward to watching more TV, since looking at TV has a new look. The sound was clear and the volume was loud enough for us to hear anywhere in the room. We were alright with the price, Samsung has a good reputation with their TVs. We are very pleased!
When our old television died on us about 10 days ago, we went out shopping for a new set. We compared plasma and LED sets. However, we were really struck by the picture, color, and overall quality of this 50" LED set when we compared it to other similar makes and models. Also, we got a great deal on the set from the store we bought it from. After making the purchase, we had the set delivered and installed in our home just a couple of days ago. I can't begin to tell you how happy we've been. The picture has such great quality that I almost feel that the people on television are standing in the room with us. It's also nice to have a bigger screen compared to our previous television which was only 35". The bigger screen is a welcome addition and adds so much more to watching television and enjoying movies at home. Also, the sound quality is great as well. The built-in speakers project sound really well into the room. Overall, we are very pleased with our purchase and love our new television from Samsung. It has proven to be a perfect choice for our home.
i like the tv very much. i was shipped and delivered in two days, very fasted, i received the tv from fedex on a saturday.
I bought this TV about 2 weeks ago for $800.00 plus tax. The picture is great and the sound is fine for what I need. I especially like the USB port. You can use a thumb drive or external hard drive to view movies. The movies play flawlessly. If you want to change the picture size or quality just press the TOOLS button on the remote while the movie is playing. You can also set the subtitles by pressing the TOOLS button. The set up is very simple and requires no previous knowledge or experience. This TV is the best thing going for the price.
I've had this TV for about a month now and so far its met my expectations.
love my new tv. had to get used to the clarity of HD but am very happy with this item
Before i buy something, i do my homework first, check the review and the price. I always love Samsung, i have a 39" plasma for 7 years and still working good.i took this to my bedroom and bought this 50"LCD for my living room. Price is good, color, sound.. Awesome.. Another thing is so easy to install and connect to all the other equipment. The reason why i didn't give 5 stars , is the picture is not clear when you are watching from the side.. I guess thats the difference with Plasma..
My first Samsung and now I am hooked! Great picture quality, easy set up and best price anywhere! Living in NYC and having to have everything delivered, Walmarts free shipping is always appreciated. I am not a TV expert, but when it feels like the actors are in the room with me, I know its a quality picture. The only downside is the poor acting on some shows is all the more apparent! lol
I bought it as a gift and the recipient is very happy. I rated it based upon what I bought as opposed to what's out there. It's hard to compare the picture quality to TVs 5X the price. Setup was easy. The picture is very nice. Can't complain about the value. If you want a good simple 50 inch "dumb" TV. This is a great choice.
This tv is awesome picture quality nd sound is great I have to just get use to the class part but this is my second Samsung tv nd so far so good nd Walmart have the best deals when it comes to TV's anything electronic or applicants nd I caught this tv sale for Memorial Day weekend nd the delivery came really quick
Product appears to be very good. I did not receive any warranty card to fill out and return to factory. How do I know thid id under warranty?
I oreder the tv online and it was ready that afternoon. Fast service. I would recommend buying online. It was cheaper online than the one in the store. I have had it for one week and so far it has been great.
Wow. What a great picture this TV has. This is the 2nd Samsung TV I have purchased and its the best yet. I love so far. Samsung in my opinion knows what they are doing.
I have converted ALL of my electronics to Samsung. Thank you for excellent quality and workmanship. With each generation, even the lower tier gets better and less expensive. This TV is beautiful and has more surface area to see without the "picture frame" of the other older previous generations. I have not noticed a judder difference, but the blacks seem to be blacker and the color tones are richer than my last TV. I have had this for less than a week, but I can tell the difference...keep up the great work Samsung. I would say that only offering 2 HDMI ports on a TV for ANY company now days-unrealistic-yes people want to buy home theater systems but I am not going to JUST because they have the HDMI ports I NEED.
Picture on this Samsung is superb. Audio, however, is not the greatest, as is the case with most, if not all such TV's as they are so narrow (1", maybe 2") there is no room for really good speakers. You can get around this, though, with a home theater system or, as I did, with a soundbar and subwoofer which makes a difference. Also, there are only 2 HDMI ports, which isn't the end of the world. One of mine is connected to the FIOS DVR and the other to the BLUE-RAY player... If I wanted to say, connect a video game, I'd just pull out the HDMI for the BLUE-RAY and use that port...an inconvenience at best. Overall, however, my wife and I are very happy and pleased with the TV and would recommend it to anyone.
TV went out, would not show picture, yes of course after 1 year warranty and 2 year extended warranty....so SamSung wants you to pay hundreds for a TV that last 3 years??? I will not again! Samsung products are a joke and I hence the warning to ALL
I gave this product five stars because it does what I want it to without any fuss and does very, very well. Even though I gave it five stars for features, I do not take advantage of too many of those features. But it is a beautiful TV. The picture quality is wonderful, and to me that is what counts. The colors are rich and vibrant when set to just plain old normal - I am not one to overly hype the color. The resolution is also everything one could ask for, clear, crisp and very sharp. The sound quality is fine, but I normally listen to 5.1 channel audio through a AV receiver. overall, I am extremely pleased with this TV! Well Done, Samsung!

One of the reasons that stock market has been up for the past two months is massive liquidity injection by the European Central Bank—exactly the way the market was charged by quantitative easing in the US in 2009 and mid-2011. Are there signs that liquidity injection by ECB is about to halt? In that case, will the market continue to move higher?
The Sensex has been up a sharp 15.4% since 7 January 2012, mainly due to massive inflow of money from foreign institutional investors (FIIs). FIIs have put it as much as Rs22,989.95 crore in January and February this year so far; over the first quarter of 2011, when they had pulled out Rs7,931.11 crore. Why the sudden inflow of investment? Where is the money coming from? While we would like to believe suddenly the foreigners have rediscovered the hidden charms of India, the fact is that a lot of this money has is coming from short-term traders who are taking advantage of massive liquidity injection by the European Central Bank (ECB) to trade in risky assets like emerging market equities.
The total amount the ECB has spent since starting the programme, back in May 2010 remained at 219.5 billion euros, with just 59 million euros last week. The ECB and the 17 Eurozone national central banks buy the bonds under what the ECB calls its Securities Markets program (SMP). European laws forbid it buying the bonds direct from governments, but it gets round the restriction by buying them from banks and other investors on the open market.
This parallels that of the liquidity injection programme of the US Federal Reserve of 2009-11. Whenever there have been injections by central banks equities have started to shoot up. The graph below highlights how central bankers' liquidity injection programme has pushed up the markets at different times in the last three years.
You can see how markets have expanded significantly, since 2009, shortly after the sub-prime bust, after the US Fed introduced the first of its Quantitative Easing (also known as QE1). QE1 is part of the broad monetary policy of printing money and dumping it on the economy vis-a-vis banks. This leads to a 'loose money' policy, as banks now have more money to lend. The hope is that with higher bank lending, economic activity would pick up. But if there are no takers for more bank loans, the money goes into speculative purposes like funding hedge funds or the bank's own trading departments, which in turn leads to widespread purchase of financial instruments, such as stocks or gold or commodities. This is what has propped the markets up with each quantitative easing. Some of this money eventually finds its way to emerging markets, like India. Notice that after the first QE1 ended, the markets fell. Immediately, the Fed panicked and introduced QE2. The markets reacted positively and moved upwards, until it sagged again, at the end of QE2. Incidentally, after this, the ECB then stepped in and announced it would buy Euro Bonds. Not surprisingly, the markets took the good news and climbed back up. As the bond buyback eased towards its end, the US Fed 'hinted' at QE3. It remains to be seen whether it will announce it.
What do we notice from this chart? What we see as bull or bear market is only partly linked to fundamental factors. A bigger factor is whether large speculators will access cheap money or not as and when the two big central banks decide to loosen their purse strings. If they are easing, the market stabilises and rises. If the easing ends, the market sags. Interestingly, according to some savvy traders like Eric Schwarts, who runs a great blog called marketanthropology.com, the ECB has halted its bond buying programme for the first time since early August. Is that signal that the Indian markets are about to give up some of the huge gains of the Jan-Feb period?

Im tryna get out Lum Lum
by grimloc April 20, 2009
A lum lum is a small woodman creature known for his sneaky ways and explicit sex life that has been known to keep the majority of his habitat up. On a normal day, one can find the lum lum sitting calming in his cave with headphones on, or dry humping olga. There is still debate to this day whether the lum lum has been sexually connected to the LUUM LUUM, another species that shares his cage but is pronounced with a much longer and drawn out tone.

Vancouver Web Performance Message Board › 2014 call for presenters

Group Organizer
Vancouver, BC
Happy 2014 performers!

The present invention involves the field of beverage containers. Specifically, the invention is directed to a beverage container for a child, or toddler, the beverage container being suited to transition the child from a sippy cup to a conventional drinking cup.
Drinking vessels for infants and children are known. For example, it is desirable to provide cups to meet the special demands created by infants and toddlers. Currently available to meet these needs are spill proof cups, or sippy cups. Sippy cups features valves attached to a lid. Extending outwardly from the lid is a spout. As the child provides suction on the spout, the valve in the lid opens allowing fluid to pass from the reservoir of the cup through the spout and into the child's mouth. Sippy cups are ideal for transitioning an infant from a baby nurser to a cup-like vessel since both container only allow fluid to flow when suction is initiated by the child.
However, transitioning a child from a sippy cup to a conventional drinking cup can be an onerous task. The main difference between a conventional drinking cup and a sippy cup is that a conventional drinking cup requires minimal suction by the child. Furthermore, conventional cups have an open top thus making the cup susceptible to spilling large quantities of beverage whenever the cup is tipped. Furthermore, because there is no spout on a conventional cup, the child must maneuver the rim of the cup to her mouth and lift the cup to allow the fluid to flow into her mouth, thus, increasing the probability and occurrence of a spilling. Thus, it is desirable to provide cups with means to simulate the rim of a conventional cup while providing means achieve portability of the cup with minimal spillage.
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide cup that helps a child or toddler transition from a sippy cup to a conventional cup.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a cup that causes the child or toddler to drink from the rim of a cup rather than a nipple or spout.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a cup that minimizes the occurrence of leaks and spills while the child is learning how to drink from a cup.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a cup that is lightweight, easily used and easily cleaned.
This and other objects and advantages of the present invention are achieved by a container adapted for use by a child, or toddler, that has, e.g., three separable components: a reservoir, a top and a lid. The reservoir serves to hold any potable liquid. The top threads onto the open end of the reservoir. The top optionally includes a plate that extends across the open end of the reservoir. The plate also includes a central passage therein and a groove along its upper perimeter. A rim projects and extends upwardly from the plate of the top. The lid includes an upper disc portion and a lower cylindrical portion projecting and extending from the bottom surface of the lid. The bottom of the upper disc portion has a perimeter edge that extends axially for engaging the groove of the plate. The lower cylindrical portion further includes flexible position tabs that snap onto an internal threaded wall that defines the central opening in the top. Upon attachment, the lid is positioned below the top edge of the upper rim of the top. The perimeter of the lid that touches the top forms a seal that prevents liquid from flowing out. The lid, e.g., is rotatable with respect to the top. The ramp of the internal threads causes, when the lid is rotated, a separation between the disc portion of the lid and the plate of the top. Vents in the plate of the top permit passage of beverage when the disc portion of the lid is separated from the surface of the plate. Regardless of whether lid is in an open or closed position, the lid always remains below the top edge of the rim of the top.
Numerous, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will readily become apparent from the following detailed description, from the claims and from the accompanying drawings.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the reservoir of the cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the top of the cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a top view of the top of the cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the top of the cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a top perspective view of the lid of the cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 7 is a front elevational view of the lid of the cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 8 is a side elevational view of the lid of the cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 9 is a bottom perspective view of the lid of the cup in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to the drawings and, in particular, FIG. 1, there is shown an exemplary embodiment of a container of the present invention generally represented by reference number 10. The container 10 is preferably substantially cylindrical in shape, but may be of any shape that is adaptable for use as a container by children. For the purposes of describing an exemplary embodiment of the container 10, the container 10 is illustrated to be cylindrical. Thus, the three main components of container 10, reservoir 100, top 200 and lid 300 are substantially cylindrical and/or circular. The number of main components of the container 10 may be varied to be more or less. For example, the reservoir 100 and the top 200 may be formed as a single unitary component. All of the components of the container 10 may be of the same or different materials. For example, a preferred material is a thermoplastic polymer which, e.g., can be a homo-polymer or co-polymer. Examples of thermaplastic polymers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene and mixtures thereof.
FIG. 2 depicts a front elevational view of the reservoir 100. The reservoir 100 may be of any shape that is suitable for holding a liquid. For example, the reservoir 100 may be substantially cylindrical or take the form of a chalice or goblet, as shown in FIG. 2. One skilled in the art may pick a shape for the reservoir 100 that is suitable for grasping and handling by children. Furthermore, the reservoir 100 should be able to contain a volume of liquid that is suitable for drinking by children. For example, any volume from about five ounces (approx. 147 mL) to about twelve ounces (approx. 355 mL).
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the reservoir 100 has base 110 and top end 120. The base 110 should be designed such that it can support the container 10 when the container 10 is vertical. The top end 120 serves as the exit point for the liquid from the reservoir 100. The outer surface of the top end 120 has fastening structure 124 thereon. The fastening structure 124 allows top 200 to attach or connect to the reservoir 100. For example, the fastening structure 124 can be an annular groove, an annular ring or a snap-fit. Preferably, the fastening structure 124 is a spiral or thread. This threading allows the top 200 to be threadably attached to the reservoir 100. Although not necessary, having the top 200 be detachable from the reservoir 100 allows a user to better access the interior of the reservoir 100 for cleaning and filling.
FIGS. 3-5 show perspective, top and bottom views of the top 200, respectively. The top 200 has top rim 210, bottom rim 220, outer wall 230 and inner wall 240. Extending across the top 200 and from the inner wall 240 is plate 250. The plate 250 is situated between the top rim 210 and the bottom rim 220 and parallel to the planes that contain the top rim 210 and the bottom rim 220. The center of the plate 250 is a circular opening or central passage 252. Along the perimeter of the central passage 252 is passage wall 254. The passage wall 254, e.g., is concentric with the outer wall 230 and the inner wall 240. Around the top perimeter of the plate 250 is, e.g., a circular seal groove 251. When the lid 300 is locked in top 200, the groove 251 is in physical contact with the edge of lid 300; this is discussed in more detail below. Located adjacent to the multiple guide slots 256 and on the passage wall 254 are position locks 258. The position locks 258 can be located, e.g., clockwise or counterclockwise from the multiple guide slots 256 depending on the rotation of the lid 300 in the top 200. For example, if the lid 300 were to be rotated clockwise with respect to the top 200 as viewed from the top, then each position lock 258 is located to the left of a corresponding guide slot 256 when viewing the bottom of the top 200. The position locks 258 serve to hold lid 300 in an open, or "drink" position. The edge of each arcuate piece of the passage wall 254 between each guide slot 256 and the next locking slot 258, e.g., between the guide slot 256 a and the position lock 258 b, is sloped or tapered as the position tabs 326 travel along such arcuate piece of the passage wall 254. Also along the inner surface of the passage wall 254 are grooves, or drive ribs 257. The drive ribs 257 serve as attachment points for the lid 300, as will be seen later.
Disposed along the plate 250 between the passage wall 254 and the inner wall 240 are vents 260. The vents 260 extend through the entire thickness of the plate 250. The vents 260 can be of any shape, number and size. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, vents 260 are trapezoidal in shape and are twelve in number. When the container 10 is tilted downward, liquid flows from the reservoir 100 and through the top 200 via the vents 260.
FIGS. 6-9 depict top perspective, front, side and bottom perspective views of the lid 300, respectively. The lid 300 provides a mechanism to seal the reservoir 100 and the top 200 to prevent any liquid from exiting the container 10 when the lid 300 is sealed. The lid 300 has upper portion 310 and lower portion 320 which are, for exampled, one-piece integrally formed together. The upper portion 310 is, e.g., a disc that has a diameter that approximates that of the inner wall 240 of the top 200. Along the perimeter of bottom surface of upper portion 210 is edge 316. For example, the edge 316 projects axially away from the bottom surface of upper portion. The edge 316 should have a thickness that is compatible with the width of groove 251 in the plate 250. When the lid 300 is inserted in the top 200 and closed, the upper portion 310 of the lid is disposed or oriented below the top rim 210 of top 200 to form a physical seal. Additionally, e.g., when the lid 300 is closed, the upper portion 310 covers the vents 260 and prevents any liquid from flowing out of the reservoir 200 and through the vents 260. When the lid 300 is opened or in an open position, the lid 300 remains disposed or oriented below the top rim 210 of top 200. Although it is preferable that the edges of the upper portion 310 touch the inner wall 240, e.g., to form a physical seal, when the lid 300 is locked or closed, it is not necessary provided that the vents 260 are sufficiently covered by the upper portion 310 when the lid 300 is locked or closed. On the top surface 312 of upper portion 310 is handle 314. Handle 314 provides a means for a user to easily remove lid 300 from top 200. Additionally, handle 314 provides a place for a user to grasp when rotating lid 300.
Projecting from the bottom surface of the lid 300 is the lower portion 320. Although as depicted in FIGS. 5-7, the lower portion 320 is cylindrical and has edge 322, the lower portion 320 can be any other shape provided that such shape is compatible with the central passage 252. What is meant by "compatible" is that the central passage 252 and the lower portion 320 have shapes that are similar. For example, if the central passage 252 is circular than the lower portion 320 is cylindrical and the edge 322 is circular. The diameters of the central passage 252 should closely match that of the lower portion 320.
Along the distal end of the lower portion 320 opposite of the upper portion 310 are position tabs 326. For example, the bottom portion 320 can have any number of position tabs 326, preferably three. Each position tab 326 is located along the perimeter of -edge 322 and formed into wall 324 of the lower portion 320. At the distal end of each position tab 326 is extension 328, which projects and extends perpendicular and away from the axis of the lower portion 320. Each extension 328 should match the shape of the guide slot 256 in the top 200. For example, if the extension 328 has a semi-circular shape, then the guide slot 256 should also have a semi-circular shape. Located along the wall 324 in between the position tab 326 and the upper portion 310 are thread tabs 329. For example, there is one thread tab 329 for each position tab 326. The thread tabs 329 are protrusions in the wall 324 that extend radially from the wall 324 of the lower portion 320. The thread tabs 329 prevent the lid 300 from falling out of the top 200 in the event that the container 10 is ever turned upside-down.
To assemble the container 10, the top 200 is attached, e.g., by screwing, onto the reservoir 100. The lid 300 is then inserted into the top 200 with the user ensuring that the position tabs 326 are aligned with the guide slots 256. As the lid 300 is inserted into the top 200, the position tabs 326 pass through the guide slots 256. Once the lid 300 is fully inserted into the top 200, the position tabs 326 engage the edge of the passage wall 254. This engagement of the position tabs 326 with the edge of the passage wall 254 of the top 200, e.g., helps to prevent the lid 300 from falling out of the top 200 when the container 10 is inverted or tipped over. As the user rotates the lid 300 in a clockwise fashion, the thread tabs 329 travel along the drive ribs 257 whereas the position tabs 326 travel along the arcuate section of the passage wall 254. Finally, the lid 300 has a complete physical seal when the edge 316 of upper portion 310 of lid 300 is fully engaged with the groove 251 of the plate 250 of the top 200.
To use the container 10, the user rotates in a counterclockwise fashion the lid 300 a set number of degrees. The counter-rotation of the lid 300 creates a gap between the lid 300 and the inner wall 240 when the edge 316 of upper plate 310 of lid 300 is no longer fully engaged with groove 251 of the plate 250 of the top 200. When the child drinks from the container 10, fluid flows from the reservoir 100 through the vents 260 of the plate 250 and through the gap between the lid 300 and the inner wall 240 and ultimately into the user's mouth. No or minimal suction by the user is required or needed.
Additional features as known in the art can be added to the container 10 to enhance userability. For example, visual markers can be incorporated into the container 10 to show when the lid 300 is property aligned with top 200 to facilitate easy insertion of the lid 300 into the top 200. An example of a visual marker is an arrow on the lid 300 and a corresponding arrow on the top 200. Moreover, audible markers can be incorporated to signal to the user that the lid 300 has been locked: e.g., when the position tabs 326 are rotated into the is position locks 258, a "click" sound can be heard. Furthermore, to enhance the spill-proofness of the container 10, a gasket can be incorporated between the lid 300 and top 200.
It is understood that while the present invention has been described in conjunction with the detailed description thereof that the foregoing description is intended to illustrate and not limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the scope of the following claims. Other aspects, advantages and modifications are within the scope of the claims.

"Wildly addictive, beautifully written, and uniquely captivating. Thoughtless is a simmering, slow burn."
"From page one, this book is impossible to put down."
"This book has climbed right to the top of my list of favorites this summer and made itself cozy there."
"Really addictive. Could not put it down! This is my kind of guilty pleasure."
"I felt like after Thoughtless I was climbing off of the longest, curviest, craziest roller coaster that I have ever virtually been on. Let me tell you, that is absolutely not a bad thing!"
"This story tears your heart right out! The steamy scenes will get your blood boiling and the gut-wrenching
emotional turmoil will bring tears cascading. If you're a fan of Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, I'd highly
recommend this read! It's messy, dirty, raw, REAL! The story is beautifully written and keeps you interested
with every turn of the page."
"If you enjoyed Beautiful Disaster, then you will enjoy this series!"

I actually made this as a hot coffee since we still have fluffy white stuff on the ground here in the north. Instead of instant coffee I used some fresh brewed coffee. As a personal choice I chose to omit the sugar and I added a splash of half and half. I'm saving this recipe to my beverage cookbook, so I can make this as an iced coffee as intended this summer. Thanks for posting this recipe. Made and reviewed for the Best of 2010 Recipe Tag game.
This was so good. I was in heaven. I used brewed cinnamon hazelnut cream coffee in this. It worked beautifully. What a great coffee treat this was, I loved the strong orange flavor, it blended perfectly with the coffee, garnished with whipped cream and coffee sugar it was the bomb. Thank you so much for sharing Mirj. Made for Comfort Cafe-Chalet 01/10 :)
I found this very tasty! I halved the recipe because BF doesn't like coffee, but he tried a sip and even he admitted it was pretty good! I was kind of surprised at how well the coffee and orange flavors combine. My one qualm with the recipe is the sweetness- I halved the sugar, but it is still even a little saccharine for my taste. I would make again, but would probably up the milk/cream and lower the amount of sugar (but this is personal preference, I typically take my coffee with no sugar and lots of milk or cream). I used all Organic ingredients and a Valencia orange. Thanks for a yummy cool drink for me to sip this terrible hot spell we're having! Very refreshing!! :)
This taste like a coffee creamsicle! If it wasn`t so early in the day I would have added a shot of Grand Marnier. This is very refreshing. Strong, sweet, coffee, with yummy creamy orange flavor! Thanks Mirj!
I needed a caffeine hit after staying up to watch the Olympics. Well, this deserves a gold medal in its own right.Just the right touch of sweetness with enough orange to be refreshing. Used navel oranges for this. Thanks Mirj!
