The user will need to submit this, in the form. This can of course be a hidden value. You'd then be able to access it through the params object.

Okay, in the relationship edit form, I have this.
<%= f.hidden_field :tab_name, {:value => "relationships"} %>
And in the profiles_controller update medthod, I have:
@tab_name = params[:tab_name]
However, the value in the params[:tab_name} is nill. I don't think I'm doing this right.

Years Since Graduation
Currently in medical care in the United States, there are four main primary care specialties: family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Internal medicine is primary care for adults, pediatrics is primary care for children and infants, and geriatrics is primary care for seniors. Family medicine, the broadest specialty, is primary care for all ages.
A family medicine physician is a medical 'home base' for patients. They treat all ages, all sexes, all organs, and all diseases. They can see every member of the family, from birth through old age. This allows family medicine doctors to develop long-term relationships with their patients and to understand how their patients' role in the family affects their health. They can provide check-ups, immunizations, screening services, gynecological exams and obstetric care, routine health care, and health counseling. When more specialized care is needed, a family medicine doctor can refer their patients to appropriate specialists. They can become educators and advocates for their patients in the sometimes overwhelming health care system.
As health care changes in this country, family medicine is a growing specialty for families and individuals who are seeking more personalized health care and a more personal relationship with their physician.

Latest Research Reports
Property Council, NZCID and the EMA commissioned the Environmental Defence Society to evaluate the environmental outcomes of the Resource Management Act (RMA). The purpose of the project has been to explore whether the RMA has delivered desired environmental outcomes for New Zealand. The findings are intended to complement wider assessments of the efficacy of the Act. The Report was launched on 28 September. A key finding of the Report is that the RMA has largely failed to achieve the goal of sustainable management to date. The Report can be accessed HERE.

Honda Motor Co. (NYSE:HMC) is engaged in the development, manufacturing and distribution of motorcycles, automobiles, power products, and also provision of financing for the sale of those products. Automobile sales accounted for 78% of total segment sales in FY 13 (March), while motorcycle sales contributed 13.6% during the same period.
The firm is currently Zacks Rank # 2 - Buy, and it also has a longer-term recommendation of "Neutral." For investors looking for a Zacks Rank # 1 – Strong Buy, Daimler AG (DDAIF) and Tata Motors Limited (NYSE:TTM) could be better options.
So now let's take a look at the intrinsic value of this company and try to explain to investors the reasons why it is a good buy or not. In this article, we present a model that is by no means the be-all and end-all for valuation. The purpose is to force investors to evaluate different assumptions about growth and future prospects.

In stock valuation models, dividend discount models (DDM) define cash flow as the dividends to be received by the shareholders. Extending the period indefinitely, the fundamental value of the stock is the present value of an infinite stream of dividends according to John Burr Williams.
Although this is theoretically correct, it requires forecasting dividends for many periods, so we can use some growth models like: Gordon (constant) growth model, the Two or Three stage growth model or the H-Model (which is a special case of a two-stage model).
To start with, the Gordon Growth Model (GGM) assumes that dividends increase at a constant rate indefinitely.
Let´s estimate the inputs for modeling:
Required Rate of Return (r)
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) estimates the required return on equity using the following formula: required return on stockj = risk-free rate + beta of j x equity risk premium
Risk-Free Rate: Rate of return on LT Government Debt: RF = 2.67%
Beta: β =1.12
GGM equity risk premium = (1-year forecasted dividend yield on market index) +(consensus long-term earnings growth rate) – (long-term government bond yield) = 2.13% + 11.97% - 2.67% = 11.43%[1]
rHMC = RF + βHMC [GGM ERP]
= 2.67% + 1.12 [11.43%]
= 15.47%
Dividend growth rate (g)
The sustainable growth rate is the rate at which earnings and dividends can grow indefinitely assuming that the firm´s debt-to-equity ratio is unchanged and it doesn´t issue new equity.
g = b x ROE
b = retention rate
ROE can be estimated using Dupont formula:
Because for most companies, the GGM is unrealistic, let´s consider the H-Model which assumes a growth rate that starts high and then declines linearly over the high growth stage, until it reverts to the long-run rate. A smoother transition to the mature phase growth rate that is more realistic.
Dividend growth rate (g) implied by Gordon growth model (long-run rate)
With the GGM formula and simple math:
The growth rates are:

Final Comment
When the stock price is higher than the intrinsic value, the stock is said to be overvalued and it makes sense to sell the stock. We have covered just one valuation method and investors should not be relied on alone in order to determine a fair (over/under) value for a potential investment.
Hedge fund gurus have also been active in the company. Gurus like Jim Simons (Trades, Portfolio), Steven Cohen (Trades, Portfolio) and Charles Brandes (Trades, Portfolio) have sold or reduced their positions in fourth quarter 2013.
Disclosure: Victor Selva holds no position in any stocks mentioned.

Douglas Fairbanks stars as "Sunny" Wiggins, who believes in eternal optimism and good spirits. This places Wiggins at odds with his staid, wealthy family, who decide to get even when he blithely invites a group of derelicts to his sister's coming-out party. Wiggins is ordered to go to Skid Row, there to try to spread his cheerful philosophy amongst the dregs of society. Along the way, he "cures" a pessimistic physician, winning the man's pretty daughter (Dorothy West) in the process. Habit of Happiness was another copacetic collaboration between star Douglas Fairbanks and director Allan Dwan. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Manhattan Madness
Douglas Fairbanks headlines this fast-paced and funny adventure set in contemporary Manhattan playing a New Yorker who exchanges city life for the excitement of raising horses and cattle in the wild West. One day he returns to the Big Apple to brag about his exciting new life. He gets his friends riled up by claiming that there are no thrills to be found in New York. His buddies promptly bet him $5,000 that he is wrong and so set about teaching their cocky friend a lesson. In the end, he turns the tables and wins the bet. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Oh my GOSH! When I saw that broken plate my heat skipped a beat!!!! So sorry that gorgeous plate had an accident!
But thank you so much for your great plate hanging instructions. Good to know that you have the disc plate hangers. I am hanging several plate and will order some!
Wonderful and informative post, Nancy!!!
Perfect post for me, Nancy! I'm debating whether or not to get a brown and white transferware platter to hang over a wall arrangement I added to in our dining area. If you get time {I know you are super busy with the Etsy thing}, I'd love your opinion on whether or not to go that route. It's my Attaining New Heights post from a few days ago. Meanwhile, I'll be browsing your shop! : )
I have those disk and guess I will try hanging one of my large platter now that you have done it before
I have a piece I would cry for a week if I broke it LOl
Oh honey, I just broke a cloche last week!! I hate to see this, sweet Nancy!!!!!!!! waaawaaawaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! I never knew about this stickers to hang plates, now I'm gonna look for them, but be careful too! I love how it's gonna look. Happy weekend and let us know how it went with you, I can't wait!!
Have not seen these before, sure would be nice for smaller plates as well, i do not like the old plate hangers, they rust, scratch the wall, etc....good luck with the filming, will be praying for you...suek
ReplyDeleteVery helpful post Nancy! I have used the disc hangers before. Next time I need to order more, I will remember you.
Also, thanks again for your suggestions on the red transferware plates. I am still trying to make up my mind! So many pretty ones to pick from. At least I have it narrowed down to two. Hopefully soon.
Good luck next week, sooo exciting!
I live in a very humid sub-tropical climate where sticky things usually work loose. Do you have any experience with these in that environment? I was deeply moved by your story of loss and triumph. This can happen to anyone. One of my BFF's who hold doctorates and dedicated their lives to ministry and service to God having been walking your path.. Happened to Job through no fault of his own. But God restored all and more and I am so happy for you that He is lifting you up through this video opportunity and others. Funny thing is...when I first found your blog a few months back, I envied you...beautiful home, big family, obviously you are gifted and so darn cute, too! Figured you just had this incredible little side business as a hobby...ha! You have handled you situation with much grace and maturity.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you that what I found especially appealing about YOUR blog was the history lessons included with some of your posts!
DeleteI am sorry I am answering this question about humidity so late...I tried once before but for some reason the reply would not open up and I remembered today to try again! Below is a direct response from my supplier who lives in England:
"Safety Assured - The Disc gives a permanent adhesion of great strength to a glazed or an unglazed surface. A fixing that will not "age - harden" or deteriorate with time. It is unaffected by any normal household extremes of temperature or humidity.
the only way the disc hangers can be weakened is if used outdoors and rain dripping on the disc hangers could cause the glue to weaken....but humidity..no"
so I think it is safe to say that yes, they will hold up in humidity. It is also humid here in Oklahoma especially during Summer months and I have not personally had any problems.
Thank you for your question, and for your comments. I really appreciate you taking the time to write and to share!
I am a designer and freelance writer specializing in and offering for sale one of the largest collections of 19th and 20th Century English transferware in the world. I love the history and art found in each piece I buy and sell. I've worked with designers and clients all over the world creating custom wallscapes, transferware displays and table settings.
I absolutely love what I do, selling English Transferware and authoring the blog Nancy's Daily Dish where I write educational posts on the subject, create tablescapes with different transfer ware patterns sharing the histories behind them, and share my love of design, cooking, poetry and appreciation of beautiful things.

"Words are wind" is a common phrase in A Song of Ice and Fire, usually used to say "talk is cheap." But that's a view that underestimates both the power of words and wind themselves.

I never met my mother. My father wouldn't even tell me her name. I don't know if she's living or dead. I don't know if she's a noblewoman or a fisherman's wife… or a whore. So I sat there in the brothel as Ros took off her clothes. But I couldn't do it. Because all I could think was what if I got her pregnant and she had a child, another bastard named Snow? –Jon Snow, Episode 1.4, "Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things"
Everything about Jon Snow's life has reminded him that he is a bastard: Cat's cold regard. Exiled from dinner with the king. No right to inherit Winterfell or its lands. And most of all, his name. He is no Stark. Ned takes pains to console him, during their last talk, that he may not have the Stark name, but he has Stark blood.
But if that's true, why is he a Snow rather than a Stark? Why does Ramsay have the same last name as Jon? Why are Oberyn's daughters called the Sand Snakes? Let's explore the concept of bastardy in Westeros and the many words and names related to it.
The wrong side of the sheets
In Westeros, bastard is something of a legal definition that means a child born out of wedlock. Beyond that, there is an entire lexicon of slang for the concept of bastardy. "Natural child" is the polite way to say it. "Baseborn" is the word you use if your intention is to insult or provoke. A saucier way to put it is "born on the wrong side of the sheets."
The social stigmas that Jon has to deal with, both inside and outside the Night's Watch, are very real. There's a reason why the noble and legitimate Ser Alliser Thorne calls Jon Snow a bastard every chance he can get. The one exception is Dorne, where bastards face no discrimination. In the Season 4 episode The Lion and the Rose, Prince Oberyn introduces his paramour Ellaria Sand to Cersei Lannister. "Can't say I've ever met a Sand before," Cersei says in her most passive-aggressive tone, pointing out Ellaria's bastard name. "We are everywhere in Dorne," Ellaria replies, "I have ten thousand brothers and sisters." Oberyn defends his paramour: "Bastards are born of passion, aren't they? We don't despise them in Dorne." "No?" Cersei says. "How tolerant of you."
In Westeros, legitimate children are the key to maintaining power through generations via inheritance. Thus, keeping track of who's legit and who's not is critical. The system of naming bastards by their region arose from this necessity. It has the added benefit, for the sires of such children, that the names don't reveal their actual parentage.
While lords are expected to father bastards, their noble wives have no obligation to embrace those children or indeed tolerate their lord's infidelity. A Stark is a Stark, but a Snow could be anyone's child. The name Snow provides deniability for the bastard's father.
A bastard's name matches the region of his or her birth: a Snow hails from the North, Flowers from the Reach, Hill from the Westerlands, Pyke from the Iron Islands, Rivers from the Riverlands, Sand from Dorne, Stone from the Vale, Storm from the Stormlands, and Waters from the Crownlands around King's Landing.
Despite the social stigma, bastards still have opportunities. They can become maesters and knights, and even serve on the Kingsguard. They may not use their father's coat of arms. However, they can use a similar version with reversed colors or with a "bend sinister" — a line of color running across the symbol.
And of course they can also volunteer for the Night's Watch, but who would be crazy enough to do that?
Those European bastards
As he does for many concepts in Game of Thrones, Martin drew the concept of bastard names from medieval history. In England, royal bastards often took the surname "FitzRoy," which means "son of a king." Such bastards used a "bend sinister" coat of arms. Rumors abound that Henry VIII had several illegitimate children (despite his proliferation of wives), but he only acknowledged one: Henry FitzRoy. Charles II sired at least 20 bastards and acknowledged 14 of them, including several named FitzRoy and two dubbed FitzCharles.
Bastards carried a similar stigma in the real world as they do in Martin's. France's Louis XIV, despite fathering many bastards and even finding matches for them, once said, "No issue should come from such species."
Many words considered uncouth have survived virtually intact across both ages and languages. Bastard is one such. It derives from the Latin bastardus, and it has been intact as bastard since as far back as Old French. A related phrase from Old French is fils de bast, meaning "packsaddle son." Given that packsaddles were often used as beds while traveling, the term means a son conceived on the road.
The word today still carries a negative connotation, though now in modern English it is most often used to mean "an unpleasant or despicable person."
"Baseborn" and "natural child" are real-world terms. The latter can mean any child born of his or her parents, rather than an adopted one, in addition to an illegitimate child.
Bastards of Westeros
Game of Thrones has given us a number of bastard characters. Jon and Ramsay Snow are bastards of Northern lords and are so named. Ramsay, however, is now a Bolton. A royal decree legitimized him in return for the Boltons' service in destroying the rebellious Starks. Only a decree from the king can do so, and such decrees are extremely rare.
This reluctance stems from Westerosi history. Aegon IV Targaryen, styled "The Unworthy," sired a number of bastards and legitimized them all on his deathbed. That unfortunate act led to the bloody Blackfyre Rebellions, in which Aegon's bastards crowned themselves kings and attempted to conquer Westeros with armies of sellswords.
Gendry claims to have no last name, but as the bastard of Robert Baratheon, he is technically a Waters. While masquerading as Littlefinger's bastard daughter, Sansa takes on the name Alayne Stone because her false persona would have been born in the Vale. In Season 4 we met Ellaria Sand, the bastard daughter of Lord Harmen Uller of Dorne. In Season 5, we will encounter the Sand Snakes of Dorne, so named because they are Oberyn "The Red Viper" Martell's bastard daughters.

There's a lot riding on a workplace investigation. In an increasingly litigious work environment, employers face an expanding list of responsibilities when it comes to investigations. One misstep and the entire investigation can be compromised. Successful investigations require commitment from a lot of people within an organization – not just the investigator.
Want to know how to avoid investigation blunders? Download the free Investigation Mistakes Cheat Sheet.
A successful investigation has these five characteristics:
1. Commitment from Management
2. Allocation of Resources
Cheaper isn't always better. A successful investigation begins with the right people, significant support from management, the right supplies, sufficient funding and other identified resources. Investigators need effective tools to complete investigations and this isn't an area where companies can cut corners. This could include bringing in outside investigators or forensics specialists if skills aren't available internally, as well as providing investigators with tools like case management software, to simplify workflow and report writing.
3. Compliance with the Law
Anything can happen once a complaint has been made. What may seem like a simple investigation could turn into a complex issue with legal implications. Therefore, every investigation needs to be conducted with the law in mind. There are laws that govern the timeliness of an investigation, the responsibilities of an employer and the conduct of the investigator throughout a workplace investigation. Although it's unlikely that every investigation will lead to a court case, it's a good idea to treat each investigation as if it will.
4. Extensive Documentation
5. Post-investigation Follow Up
Just because an investigation is over doesn't necessarily mean that the issue is resolved. You need to follow up with the complainant and the subject of the investigation to ensure that the problem has been rectified. If the investigation concludes that the subject violated company policy, follow up to make sure the person has been reprimanded for their actions. Use the information you gain from investigations to amend policies and improve employee training. Case management software provides reporting that can identify which types of incidents are happening and where so that policies and training improvements can be targeted to areas where they are needed.

I think this series is growing on me. The first book I was solidly meh about, although the ending made me more intrigued and willing to go into the second book. The second book I still didn't love, but was more to my taste. Now, by the third book, I think Mann is getting better as he goes. This is now a solid series that I am more than willing to go further in. (Presuming there are more, I guess.)
Whereas the first book felt too forced, the characters are now more familiar, more relatable, and the story just...just better structured, I guess. Not that the first book was terrible, it just felt like it was too much "Look How Steampunk I Am," and not enough else.
In this third book, we start the first chapter with the funeral of Veronica's sister, and then flip back in time. Newbury is an opium eater by this point, but Veronica and one of the chief inspectors of Scotland Yard roist him out to investigate a murder/robbery. To be precise, the murder of a man, and then the commission of a burglary by the same exact modus operandi of the dead man. And then a second body, same as the first.
Newbury is intrigued, and this pulls him into an occult club that hates that Queen Victoria has prolonged her life by artificial means, and are willing to do fairly horrific things to reorder Victorian society in a manner more to their pleasing. In the meantime, Victoria is getting more ruthless and less human, and even the doctor keeping her alive isn't sure she should be.
Of course, he's also the doctor taking care of Amelia, Veronica's sister, so we can assume that there's some nefarious plot afoot. And of course there is. They all come to a boil at roughly the same time, and if there's very few of the twists and turns I didn't see coming, they at least felt well executed when they arrived.
It's mostly down to the characters now. I'm more invested in Veronica and Newbury than I was in the first book, knowing more about who they are, what they do, what they care about. The suggested romance that has been flowering very, very slowly over the last couple of books hits some nasty snags, but it was mostly background to the action.
And yet again, the end of the book has a veer that ups the stakes, makes things more ominous, and yes, yet again, makes me want to pick up the next one.
Interestingly, when I was reading this, there were aspects that almost made me group it with those books with the theme of a world devoid of a moral centre. It's less overt, but these books are more and more about the rot at the centre of Empire, so in that way, it felt like it belonged with the more illustrious company that preceded it in my reading list.

Porting some 6X8 heads and I have some questions about the bumps inside the exhaust ports. These are a pair of heads but the exhaust floors are different between them. i have surfed the net about just porting pontiac heads but nothing really pointing to my search.Passenger side had a bump on the floor in each exhaust but not on driver side head so I removed them for flow. On the roof of both heads between the header flange and the exhaust valve boss is a bump that cleans up into what looks like a triangle. I want to remove it but cannot determine if I am going to grind into another galley and ruin the heads. Any info from someone who has ported 6x heads as to whether I can remove the "triangle" shaped bumps would be really helpful and if there is a video out there in reference to such that would be great to get a link.thanks, Wade 67 326HO coupe. Now with 455, 700R4,
I looked through Jim Hands book and it doesn't say anything specific about the bulge in the roof of the chamber so i guess I will just smooth it and leave it there. It is a very good book on other aspects of porting 6x-8 specifically though.Thanks, Wade 67 326HO coupe. Now with 455, 700R4,
. 67 326HO coupe. Now with 455, 700R4,
Pete McCarthy sell a DVD on how to port Pontiac heads. You can google that info to his web site and see if it sounds like what you're looking for.Good luck,Tony
I will look into that. thanks Tony. 67 326HO coupe. Now with 455, 700R4,
You are welcome
Finally got heads ported after some 25 hours of grinding and polishing, ended up leaving the bump and just smoothing it to flow better. Lots of time consuming work on cast iron heads but I hope it will be worth it. I guess it has to be with all the casting remains and rough surfaces inside the ports. Not something for the faint at heart since once you start that first port you are committed . Wish I could figure out how to post pics to show the project but either way I am completely happy with the results. This gave me a lot of insight on head flow and bowl design but next time I may go with some aluminum heads. 67 326HO coupe. Now with 455, 700R4,
Now guys and gals, get out there and work on your ride! 67 326HO coupe. Now with 455, 700R4,
Sweet. I'd love to see the pics. post them in photobucket and copy the link. There is a way to post pics directly on the forum, but I don't know how.

Auto Updates
1 click updates to Ghost from the admin.
We've just started working on a native auto-updater which will allow all Ghost blogs to update themselves.
In the mean time, the easiest way to get 0-click updates is to use Ghost(Pro) (https://ghost.org/pricing/) – where you get fully managed background updates without having to do a thing.
7 comments
Frederik Niedernolte commented
Thanks for the update John O'Nolan, do you have a GitHub ticket for that?
The Trello Roadmap doesn't reflect that update yet https://trello.com/c/oNIloCQV -
Faber73 commented
Interesting if you going to manage an update script that search every line and modify it. No intere files replacement.
Anonymous commented
I do not like Auto-Updates.
If I include a modified ghost blog as a part of a website for someone else, I then always have to worry that the auto-updates does not destroy my theme or ( in the future ) Plugins.
In addition I agree with Conrad Kleinespel - the Ghost development needs money.
Nathan Graham commented
This would be excellent. Conrad, Automattic, as one example, gets by just fine and they have a dead simple one click update and automated background security patches. Much easier for WordPress though for the reason John described.
Mitchell Simoens commented
Updating Ghost isn't really a pain, you can do a few commands and you're done. Updating themes can be a headache but just document changes that you make to the theme (like if you edit casper).
I also do not think this would take away from the hosted ghost service. The line between profits via the hosted ghost service and what is good for the platform as a whole can be fuzzy.
Conrad Kleinespel commented
I suppose that would make the hosted Ghost.org service much less interesting though, which would mean less funding for Ghost. I mainly use Ghost.org as a service before I don't have to upgrade stuff.
asdasd commented
Awesome idea. Updating is a realy pain with self-hosted versions of Ghost

Sunny Schooltime
One of the pros of homeschooling is being able to adjust our day to the things around us. Snow days? Never heard of them! Vacation to Disney coming up? Double up on work the week before so you don't fall behind! Beautiful weather? Take your classes outside.
We took our science books outside yesterday; what better place to learn about science than in the beautiful outdoors?! We have been seeing (and hearing) Cicadas a lot recently so we learned about them. We also learned about two of the five senses: smelling and tasting. Science has always been one of my favorite subjects so I love making the subject interesting and learning new things along with the kids.
We will be heading back to the library today to get this weeks Science books. The rain just stopped and the skies are clearing, so we just may be having another outdoor lesson today!
5 comments:
Isn't homeschooling so much fun? I started with my oldest daughter last year for pre-k. She flew through it all, so this year we are doing K and 1st (depending on the subject). She's been super curious about bones, so science right now is bones! So much fun! Love that you took your kiddos outside to study. That always used to be my favorite thing to do when I was homeschooled.
ReplyDeleteNutty Mom - I love how as we homeschool we can study the subjects that best interest our children. The kids are interested in bugs and nature at the moment so we have been getting books about those recently. :)
GirlRural - Oh yes, please let me know the title when you get a chance. I've heard great things about Kumon for math and reading - I bet the Science would be wonderful! :)
Jacki - Thanks so much! You know us...books and kids are what we collect. :)

30 December 1938, Washington, DC, USA. This highly respected US dobro player has performed on a number of bluegrass and country albums, mostly with the Seldom Scene. Auldridge is the nephew of Ellsworth T. Cozzens, the Hawaiian steel guitarist who played on several Jimmie Rodgers records. Having started playing guitar at the age of 12, Auldridge progressed to banjo within a short space of time, and was almost 20 when he played dobro for the first time. In 1969, Auldridge joined Emerson And Waldron, but with Bill Emerson leaving to join the Country Gentlemen, Auldridge continued performing with Cliff Waldron, from Jolo, West Virginia. The act grew to become the New Shades Of Grass, a six-piece outfit. Waldron planned to tour extensively, not a popular move in the eyes of Auldridge, who left with group member Ben Eldridge (banjo). With John Duffey (mandolin), Tom Gray (bass) and John Starling (guitar, vocals), they formed the Seldom Scene. The name came from the...

Gordon Duff: Netanyahu's a liar, the Pope is Catholic, and we know what bears do in the woods
Guest: Gordon Duff, Editor of Veterans Today (we're trying to get the likely next President of Pakistan, Imran Khan, to join us! See: Massive Rally in Lahore: Imran Khan Leads Calls for Pakistan to End US Alliance and VT Contributor, Imran Khan Blasts US for War Stance.)
If one liar tells another liar that an even worse liar is a liar, and the second liar agrees with the first liar, are the first two liars telling the truth? Gordon Duff cuts the Gordian knot of the Obama-Sarkozy-Netanyahu version of the liar's paradox...and offers sharp-edged opinions on much, much more!
Gordon Duff, a former national security state insider who gets plenty of leaks from current insiders, is the editor of Veterans Today, America's leading veterans' publication...and, increasingly, America's leading pro-9/11-truth outlet. Like me, Gordon has been falsely dubbed an anti-Jewish bigot by the ADL - and for the same reason: The ADL says that Gordon and I, along with Alan Sabrosky, are the "most popular" people on earth who argue that Israel and its US assets played a major role in orchestrating 9/11. (Don't know about Gordon, but I'm flattered to be called one of the three most popular truth-tellers on earth!)
Now Gordon (like me) is under email attack from some rabid pro-Nazi types who seem to think we're crypto-Jews and Zionist stooges. Sample email header: "Gordon Duff: the Ugly Pseudo-American Zionist Agent." Why? Because we aren't bigots, I guess. Maybe we need to start an Anti-Defamation-League's Victims' Anti-Defamation League. After all, we're getting defamed by both the ADL and the real anti-Semites...who, for all I know, may be working for the ADL in a sort of two-pronged attack on people who pose a genuine threat to Zionism.
We'll also discuss the ongoing neocon-Netanyahu push for World War III via an attack on Iran; revelations that the US has used nuclear weapons in Iraq; the rising popularity of pro-Pakistan patriot Imran Khan, who's standing up on the Zio-American war on the region; and much more!

Brad Friedman does deserve kudos for his investigative reporting, particularly on electronic voting machines... but he's bass ackwards when it comes to "The Lobby."
To wit, from a recent blog post:
"AIPAC is interested in supporting Republicans, not Israel --- unless supporting Israel is a boon for Republicans" Gordon Duff is nuts. He was Qadaffi's personal banker!? Give me a break.
I like Gordon, he's very funny and I agree with just about everything he says, but on the issue of NATO's unlawful, unprovoked aggression against Libya, he's lost me completely.
The one thing I agree with him about on the issue of Libya is that "I can't even swear Qadaffi is dead", either.- AnonymousNovember 13, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Kevin, can you explain your comment above. I didn't inderstand it...thx
ReplyDelete Gordon's commentary on the war in Libya reminds me of the anti-Saddam propaganda that was/is peddled by Iraq war apologists ... it's all about the "other", the evil one, the mass-murdering dictator, the tyrant, he is so bad that it justifies anything we do to him.
This perspective completely ignores, or even denies, our role, our crimes, our complicity. It seeks to absolve our hypocrisy, our impunity, our contempt for law and morality, by focusing on the alleged evil of our victim.
This tactic, or stratagem, is emblematic of the Zionist propaganda employed to justify Israeli aggression and war crimes. I'm surprised that Gordon Duff has resorted to such base arguments in his support for NATO aggression against Libya.
Gordon needs to get his head around the fact that aggression by the West is all about us, not our victims. We choose to attack others for strategic and economic reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the whims and personal foibles of foreign leaders.
The West's aggression is motivated and directed by geopolitical and macroeconomic ideologies, not humanitarian concerns. We're quite happy to deal with and support mass murdering autocrats if they serve our interests, it's only when they become recalcitrant and uncooperative that we need resort to regime change. We bump them off for political and economic reasons, not because they killed their civilians or domestic opponents. Surely Gordon understands this.
So why is he constantly yabbering on about the "pro-Gadaffi mob", as if anyone who opposed NATO aggression in Libya is, ipso facto, pro-tyrant-dictator?

WA no longer improves Shield Slam, that was taken out long ago. I ran some numbers on Incite/WA, and found that Incite improved the damage from the two abilities by 2% more than WA did. There is a very strong passive crit attached to Incite. But this is why I need someone to run the numbers properly, its hard to predict which one is best off the top of you head.
As for grabbing them all, what happens if you decide you need a utility talent. You need to know which one to drop first.

Could Texas become its own country?
There are 245 comments on the www.khou.com story from Apr 21, 2009, titled Could Texas become its own country? . In it, www.khou.com reports that:
Ever since Governor Perry gave a nod to secessionists, the idea of Texas leaving the United States to become its own country has put the Lone Star State in the national spotlight.Join the discussion below, or Read more at www.khou.com.

I can't believe you people are actually entertaining this idea. I understand that Texas is independent in their minds, but how do you really think this is going to work out in the end? I can see no good ending coming from this, but good luck, I hope they give you what you want...
Nov 13, 2012
you all live in tx get the fuck out if you dont like it. If you understood that we are the 15th highest economy in the freakn world!! we can do it I believe in TX and everything we stand for. HATERS GONNA HATE but when men standup and say enough is enough and tell the government to f off. If Texas aint important then why did your forefathers fight for our land and freedom? Oh let me guess someone will say oh the civil war was fought over slaves even though over the whole south only 4 percent of people had slaves the real reason for the civil war was because of the government taxing land taking money farmers didnt have.

Texas the brown star state. Are illegal mexis going to vote on this one? The entire country drug supply is traced thru texas. Maybe usa should cutt that whole shit off and see how nice us cities are without crime and drugs. Texas will turn into even bigger cesspool of illegal activity. You can turn alamo into meth lab for the cartels who going to own you without usa having your back.

Tell me now, what country is today what it used to be 30 to 50 years ago..??? huh..? still waiting.. If you go to Europe, my friend. You're gonna have a hard time finding a job. If texas becomes it's own country, it's not going to be what the US wants for it and most likely Mexico will invade and texas will be restored back to Mexico.. Back to what it used to be a long time ago.... |

I don't think it makes much sense to grant citizenship to the children of people who are here illegally, but that's the law in the U.S.
Mexicans are taking Texas back, one baby at a time. They are taking back what they consider to be their land. They are doing that, for the most part, non-violently. We took Texas away from Mexico violently.It's not hard to see why they consider that what we call Texas should still be part of Mexico. I don't think white Texans are going to like the results, but we (U.S. citizens) are the reason it is happening. I think there is a chance we will see gun battles in Texas when white Texans realize that we are a minority. That's not what I think SHOULD happen, just what I think could happen. Texas may be going downhill even faster than the USA. |

UUUUUhhhh, are you Texans going to have a military draft. Can you draft a quarter million men to go to war with Korea, Iran, Cuba? Can you afford militay hardware, how about submarines, aircraft carriers, battleships? Taxes? Hell, even ballastic missles, missle defence protection, chemical war precautions. Taxes? What about gold to back your new currency? Taxes How about the first national catasrophe from weather, earthquakes, medical epidemics? Taxes? Man, I would hate to have to pay your insurance and tax monies! What about just some very minute social programs, what about when the sick are dropped from you insurance companiou, will you just let them suffer and die? |

"So, how do we make the case for Texas seceding?" "Check out the petition text: it's filled with errors in syntax, usage and punctuation, yet over 120,000 Texas signed it!" "Wow, that's amazing!" So, losing Texas dramatically improves the gene pool. THAT'S our angle!" from Doonesbury, 12/13/12 |

By 2020, the Texas Hispanic population is expected to outnumber the White population
Hispanic population will grow by 530 percent from 1980 to 2040. These changes are being driven both by high immigration rates and high birth rates. According to the (Texas) states demographer, the percentage of Whites will sharply decrease, from 66 percent in 1980 to only 32 percent in 2040. The Black population of Texas will grow from 1.7 million in 1980 to 3.4 million in 2040. The percentage of Blacks will decrease slightly from 12 percent in 1980 to 10 percent in 2040.

Former Happy Days hunk Scott Baio knew his romance with a young Pamela Anderson was doomed when she announced she was getting her "beautiful breasts" enhanced.
In a new autobiography the actor is shopping around Hollywood publishers, Baio reveals he was stunned when his then-girlfriend told him she was going under the surgeon's knife in 1989.
In an extract from the book, obtained by website Radar.com, Baio writes, "She already had large, beautiful, natural breasts.
"At that moment, I knew our relationship would soon begin to crumble. Pamela had finally gone Hollywood."
Baio also reveals Liza Minnelli once offered to carry his child.
He claims she told him, "I really want your sperm. You're a talented, good-looking Italian guy. That's what I want my child to be."

I have a hard time coming around to fads and trends and "zoodles" (zucchini noodles) are no exception. I think it started with a horrible experience of marinara topped spaghetti squash and I've been saying "um, no thank you" to veggie noodles ever since. For one…what a let down. I'd rather eat the sauce with a spoon then over soggy, limp, imposter pasta. Secondly, this was supposed to be my entire meal and I AM STARVING. There is low carb and then there is NO carb. I choose the former both for texture, overall enjoyability of the experience, and to help avoid the scene of me, in the freezer with a spoon and pint of ice cream, one hour after dinner.
Israeli Corn Salad and CSA Week 11
The cucumbers in this week's CSA box were a surprise. A nice little treat from the farmer to me, who based on his email was planning to pack a head of cauliflower, but ran out and substituted these cute little baby cukes instead. I was planning on making this detox toubbeleh salad, but the moment I laid eyes on the cucumbers and tomatoes I knew I'd be making an Israeli salad.
CSA Week 9 Update (and a recipe for fridge pickles)
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
Vietnamese Rice Noodle Salad
I think sweltering is word one can't really understand until you are standing outside on a 95 degree day. I can say the word sweltering in the middle of the Chicago winter but it would mean nothing. NOTHING. You have to experience the back sweat or it's just another word that makes you think "hot". This week we hit sweltering weather for the first time and I was happy about it. We've had so much rain and nasty summer weather that I say BRING ON THE BACK SWEAT.
Now that I've thoroughly grossed you out let's go ahead and talk about food. Let's talk about how I'm going to sell you on a recipe I just posted. Awesome sauce – remember that? I keep on waiting for somebody to call me out on the fact that I'm publishing one recipe 7 different ways but until that happens I'm just gonna keep on doing it. No shame in my game.
Awesome sauce makes everything better. This time we are tossing it with a bit of almond butter and freshly grated ginger. It will be silky smooth and coat ALL the noodles and ALL the veggies. Then we sprinkle on some roasted peanuts and cilantro and we will want to eat ALL the noodles and ALL the raw veggies. HUZZAH. And just like that we're eating health food without turning the stove on and loving it. Take that – sweltering.
(I apologize for the profusive use of caps and back sweat mentions in this food blog post. That's just what I was feeling today.)The vegetables used in this salad can be whatever you'd like or already have on hand. Have a bell pepper and some cabbage in your fridge? – that will work. Sub in chicken for the shrimp and/or edamame if you prefer. Not spicy enough? – throw in some extra peppers or drizzle on siracha. If you have leftover nuac chom sauce serve it on the side.
- ½ cup awesome sauce (nuac cham )
- ¼ cup almond or peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 8 ounces dried vermicelli rice noodles
- Toasted sesame oil for tossing with the noodles
- 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into half moons
- ½ pound green beans, sliced on the diagonal, boiled briefly, 3-5 minutes, and then cooled under water
- 2 medium carrots or 4 small, julienned
- 1 bunch green onions, white and tender green portions
- Garnishes: chopped toasted peanuts or cashews and cilantro
- Whisk together the sauce, almond or peanut butter and ginger until smooth. Add a tablespoon or two of water if the sauce it thick and not pourable.
- Cook rice noodles according to package directions tasting every minute or so. My brown rice noodles only took a minute or two. Rinse under cold water and toss immediately with some toasted sesame oil to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other.
- Toss noodles, veggies and sauce together. I use my hands.
Vietnamese nuac cham dipping sauce (and Week 7 of CSA update)
Once upon a time, many moons ago, I sent Matt to the grocery store to pick up shrimp for a risotto recipe and he returned with the cooked, cocktail variety. We were still at that stage in our relationship where you are kind and tiptoe around the other's feelings so I let it slide until we reached that step in the recipe where it says "cook until opaque", which by the way I've never known exactly what that means, and then I timidly explained, "well usually for recipes… you buy raw shrimp".
CSA Week 5 (and a recipe for garlic scape pesto)
Happy 4th of July! Hopefully you're headed out to watch the fireworks after a weekend full of barbecues and beers. By tomorrow, you'll be ready for some vegetables so let's talk about week 5 of my summer CSA!
CSA stands for community supported agriculture – this is a biweekly delivery of local produce from a farm. In this weeks box there was: romaine, kale, beets, fava beans, garlic scapes, napa cabbage, fennel, broccoli, cauliflower and sour cherries.
Mascarpone Rhubarb Hand Pies
I'm not usually a sucker for miniature desserts but I make an exception for hand pies. It's really their practicality that gets me, the miniature cuteness is just a bonus. It's pie in a completely portable, perfectly portioned little package that's perfect for potlucks, barbecues and picnics. Oh and the crust to filling ratio is high, so pie crust lovers rejoice, these cute little pies are made just for you.
Rhubarb Ginger Compote
I totally failed at getting a CSA update out last week. These are the biweekly posts I'm planning to send out on what I'm doing with the produce that arrives from a local farm.
There is a good excuse, last week I flew 2000 miles in 24 hours and surprisingly enough I just was not that excited about arugula at the end of it. Funerals have a way of doing that. They make you appreciate the simple, little moments, reflect on what and who is now missing from the world, and, for me, I crave the comfort of home and family and the comfort of food.
Last week I made spaghetti and meatballs (modified from this recipe) and a version of mejadra and used the CSA delivery for the simplest of side salad (lettuce, olive oil, lemon, salt). Both were comforting and just what I was craving. And then this weekend…I baked. Sometimes our mood influences what we cook as much as the seasons and this week I was all comfort, comfort, comfort.
Multigrain Strawberry Hoecakes
The evolution of a recipe can be a funny thing. These corncake, hoecakes, griddle cakes, pancakes…whatever you want to call them…were going to have shreds of wilted greens stirred into the batter. That morning though, I opened my crisper drawer to find the kale had evaporated. Apparently we've fully transitioned into a vegetable loving family who nibble on green things, and lose track of our kale without even trying. It's very concerning behavior – I blame Matt. He's very much into sneakily hiding greens in our morning smoothies.
Scallops and Arugula with Brown Butter Caper Sauce
This blog has a new tagline as of this weekend – "simple, but not ordinary, seasonal recipes". I'm pretty excited about it. It's new and pretty and seems to fit just like that perfect summer sundress that you want to wear every single day. Hopefully, I don't grow tired of it but I'll have to wear it around for a little bit before I know.

For Sale or Trade:
Upgraded Audeze LCD-2 Rev 1 Caribbean Rosewood + Many Extras
Will Ship To: Anywhere
I reused some of the images from the original seller. But I will take the main 2 photos on my camera. I just don't a good camera so I preferred to use the majority from this thread: The link I bought these from: http://www.head-fi.org/t/677791/upgraded-audeze-lcd-2-caribbean-rosewood-many-extras
Up for sale are my Audeze LCD-2 Rev. 1 with many upgrades and extras. The Rev. 1 is an entirely special headphone that sounds like nothing I've ever heard. The low end and mids are both some of the most powerful and lush I've had the experience of hearing. If you look at the forums here, you'll see that there are many people who adore and prefer the sound profile of Rev 1 over Rev 2. On this unit, the wood is the best color they have ever been, with no cracks. The yoke blocks are the metal Rev 2 version, recently upgraded by Audeze. The grill is the A shape. I regularly polish the wood on these cans, and also use Skidmore's Leather Cream on the lambskin leather pads to keep them soft, supple, and welcoming to the ears. The cost of rosewood cans have now gone up to $1,145 to reflect the rising cost of the exotic wood. The LCD2 Rev1 has been compared to the LCD3 sound signature many times over the past couple years - closer sound to the LCD3 than the LCD2 Rev2.
This set comes with the following extras:
1. Rev 2 lambskin leather ear pads (currently installed) - original cost of $80
2. Rev 1 ear pads
3. Rev 2 yokes
4. Rev 2 1/4" cable and Rev 1 - 1/4" cable (ADZ-6 cable) – original cost of $80. Great Canare stock cabling.
5. Luxury Cherry Wood case. This color is no longer available, and looks stunning
6. Audeze Wood Polish
Willing to trade for HD800 or HE500. Amps and DAC deals are welcome to talk about. I love this can, and I plan to either go with the mentioned cans or LCD-3.
Total value of package is $1309. But I only want $700 including shipping within the US via USPS priority, fully insured from Texas. That value of that cost is $30-$50. International, PM for insured USPS quote. Paypal add 3% or go fee-free with Amazon payments.
If you want a 4 foot Charleston Cable Company cable XLR 4 pin for $100 I will include it. The link to the thread for it is here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/682383/charleston-cable-company-audiophile-upocc-for-audeze-lcd-2-lcd-3-4-pin-balanced-xlr

Once upon a time, 10 years ago my then girlfriend, now wife, and I said we would someday collaborate on a book together. She writes awesome poems, and I make pictures. Then life went on, and you know how things go, yadda yadda....
10 years later the kernel of an idea grew, and we decided to finally make the book a reality, before all the kids our friends are having become adults! So she wrote a great story, I'm working on the illustrations, and this summer we should have a great picture book about animals in hats (two spreads from the book above). But we need help to make this happen. That's where you come in, beautiful people who like to support cool projects and see neat things come into the world! Please visit our Kickstarter campaign here, and help us make this book happen! There are some neat rewards for giving, and for as little as $15 you can get your own signed copy when it comes out!
We aim to bring a little joy, a cup full of imagination, and a pinch of fun into the lives of children with this book. And possibly in the future, to bring loads of joy to little hearts with more books! But for now, we are super excited about this book, and can't wait to share it with you! Don't hesitate to contact me with questions about the the book, the way Kickstarter works, or anything. Thanks for taking the time to check it out, and let's bring some wonder into kids lives together!

Hitching a ride to the Wild Rumpus
After learning of the passing of Maurice Sendak yesterday, I went back and read the books I have of his, and listened to every interview I could find. What a genius! Such a creative, courageous and honest force he was in his storytelling. Thank you to the man who brought his dreams to life, hitched you to them, and then brought you back down gently for supper. While it was still warm. Here is my humble tribute sketch.
