PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - The Bowdoin College women's ice hockey team suffered a 4-1 setback in its season debut at second-ranked Plattsburgh State University on Saturday afternoon.
After a scoreless first period, Plattsburgh State (5-0-1) was able to break through with just 1:06 gone in the second period. Junior Allison Era skated around the Bowdoin defender at the top of the circle and fired a shot past Bowdoin goaltender Tara Connolly to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead.
Less than two minutes later, Shannon Stewart made it 2-0, picking up a rebound from Breanne Bennett and Melissa McIver. McIver later scored a goal of her own later in the period to give Plattsburgh a three-goal lead.
After calling a Plattsburgh penalty and a Bowdoin (0-1-0) timeout, the Polar Bears got on the board at the 14:44 mark of the second when Jay Greene's shot from the point went through Sydney Aveson's five-hole. Kenzie Novak and Ariana Bourque picked up assists on Greene's power-play goal.
Plattsburgh's Alyssa Parke rounded out the scoring in the third, netting a power-play goal with assists to Andrea Ziesmann and Emma Rutherford.
The Cardinals held a 36-19 edge in shots and both teams went 1-3 on the power play for the contest. Connolly made 32 stops for the Polar Bears. Aveson turned away 18 shots to improve to 3-0-1 for Plattsburgh.
The Polar Bears will play its home opener on Tuesday evening at Watson Arena against UMass Boston at 7:00 p.m.

Celebrate the December 25th release of Universal's movie musical epic "Les Misérables" with 12 days of interviews and inside peeks at the film's production with director Tom Hooper, Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried and more of the cast.
There is no shortage of reasons to be impressed by the upcoming movie adaptation of "Les Misérables."
From the singing and acting to the costumes and epic set designs, "Les Mis" was built to dazzle and audiences will surely take notice. One aspect of the production that simply cannot be overlooked is the amazing transformation of its cast from the most beautiful people in Hollywood to the poor and unkempt citizens of 19th century France.
As Jean Valjean, Hugh Jackman had to evolve from emaciated Toulan prison inmate to well-to-do factory owner. According to the actor, the physical transformation is most important so it's conceivable that Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe), the lawmen who is hunting Valjean for breaking parole, doesn't recognize him when they encounter each other 8 years after the convict's release.

"Tom [Hooper] said, 'I want to make you unrecognizable. And if people in your life aren't saying that you're sick, something's wrong – then you haven't gone far enough,'" Jackman said during a press day interview. "I did lose a lot of weight, and then had the joy of putting weight on, which was a 30-pound journey from the beginning. But I have to say, all that pales in comparison to what [Anne Hathaway] next to me did, because at least I had time to prepare and do that. Annie was doing it over 14 days. I think you lost about 300 pounds in 14 days?"
In fact, Hathaway lost 25 pounds in 14 days to play poverty-stricken factory worker Fantine, and reportedly did so on a mixture of exercise, straight starvation and a diet of oatmeal paste. Even still, it was Anne's willingness to chop her long brunette locks for the role that has earned the most attention.
"I offered Tom the option of cutting my hair," she explained. "It was always something that I kind of knew in the back of my mind that I'd be willing to do for a character if it was ever the right thing to do. So, when I got cast and I read the script and I knew they were keeping the hair cutting in, and then I read the book and it's such a devastating scene in the book, I thought doing it for real might raise the stakes a bit for the character. I thought if it was a painful experience watching her haircut, then watching her teeth getting pulled would be really painful and then, of course, when she becomes a prostitute…"
Despite the drastic change, Hathaway says she doesn't regret it. Most of the time.
"I'm only sorry when I get to spend time with Amanda Seyfried, whose hair is so beautiful," Anne quipped before turning to British co-star Samantha Barks, who plays Éponine. "Yes, Sam, you're lovely too."
"She's got miracle hair!" Barks quickly agreed.
Jackman also got to chop his locks for the role of Valjean, but as the Aussie actor explained, he was not as eager as Hathaway to have a stylist snip his scalp.

"I had my hair cut off with those gashes in it," he said of the early prison Valjean. "And Annie had been talking about cutting her hair, and she came in for the consultation with Tom. And I remember Annie saying, 'Now, by the way, if you end up cutting my scalp and there's blood – fantastic, let's go for it.'"
Hugh continued: "And I put up my hand and said, 'For the record, I would like makeup. Fake scars, please.'"

I have a gas smell inside and outside the car when driving. It seems to be coming from engine are - can find no leaks, split hoses, etc. Was told it could be fuel injector - is it dangerous to drive? Also told it could be catalytic converter. Can not find a diagram of where fuel injectors are located but after going over the engine a couple of times, do not see any evidence of gas leaking.

The Best Presidents for the Economy
We're two weeks away from the presidential election. You will inevitably hear over the coming days that this will be one of the most important elections of our lifetimes. I'm not sure that's the case. One of my favorite election quotes comes from bank lobbyist Andrew Lowenthal: "Every election I've ever been involved with has been 'the most important election in history.' At some point, it's not. It's just the path of history."
In general, presidents get too much credit for the economy when things are good, and too much blame when things are poor. We tend to imagine every blip in the stock market and every unemployment report as a direct reflection of a president's policies -- particularly during election years. In reality, Congress and the Federal Reserve probably have just as much, if not more, sway over the economy than any president. And one president's policies can spill over into the next administration, making it difficult to sort out who is liable for what. We have a hard enough time accurately measuring what the economy is doing, let along assigning responsibility for its moves.
Still, everyone should know a little economic history. And the cleanest way to get a feel for how the economy has done under past presidents is to just lay the numbers bare.
Here are five economic variables going back to 1900, covering every president from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama.
1. Stock market performance
This is the inflation-adjusted, dividend-adjusted, performance of the S&P 500:
2. Corporate profits
A word here: Corporate profits were incredibly depressed from the financial crisis in January 2009, when President Obama entered office. That low starting point makes growth through today look massive. If, instead of January 2009, you use January 2008 profit levels as a starting base, average annual corporate profit growth under President Obama is 6.8%.
3. Real GDP per capita
This measures growth of the entire economy adjusted for the size of the population:
Another note here: World War II spending was near a peak when President Roosevelt passed away in 1945, boosting the economy and annual growth. Real GDP fell 12% between 1945 and 1947 as wartime spending tapered off.
4. Inflation
5. Unemployment rate
This is the change in the unemployment rate during presidential terms (or through September for President Obama), measured in percentage points. Unemployment is measured by a yearly average before 1955; after, it is measured on a monthly basis.

Food Safety:
Selected Countries' Systems Can Offer Insights into Ensuring Import Safety and Responding to Foodborne Illness
GAO-08-794: Published: Jun 10, 2008. Publicly Released: Jul 14, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Like other nations, the United States faces growing food safety challenges resulting from at least three major trends. First, imported food makes up a growing share of the food supply. Second, consumers are increasingly eating foods that are raw or have had minimal processing and that are often associated with foodborne illness. Third, changing demographic patterns mean that more of the U.S. population is, and increasingly will be, susceptible to foodborne illness. In 2005, GAO reported on the approaches and challenges seven countries faced in reorganizing and consolidating food safety functions. Since then, the European Union (EU) has taken on a larger role in overseeing food safety within its 27 member states. GAO was asked to describe how Canada, the EU, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom (UK) (1) ensure the safety of imported food, (2) respond to outbreaks of foodborne illness, and (3) measure the effectiveness of their reorganized food safety systems. GAO also asked experts in these countries and the EU to identify emerging food safety challenges that they expect to face over the next decade. In doing this work, GAO did not evaluate the countries' management of their food safety systems or explicitly compare their efforts with those of the United States.
The countries GAO examined have a comprehensive approach to ensuring the safety of imported food. Specifically, they focus on the entire food supply chain, from "farm to table;" place primary responsibility for food safety on producers; separate risk assessment and risk management; use a risk-based inspection system; and take steps to ensure that certain food imports meet equivalent safety standards. Under the farm-to-table approach, for example, food safety laws cover every stage of the food production process, starting with how animals are raised and ending when food reaches the consumer. All countries GAO reviewed focus import inspections on the foods likeliest to pose the greatest risk. The EU, for example, requires that all imports of live animals and products of animal origin--which are considered high risk--enter the EU through approved border inspection posts. Several of the selected countries reported that three elements of their food safety systems are critical in helping them respond to outbreaks of foodborne illness. These elements are traceback procedures, cooperative arrangements between government veterinarians and public health officials, and mandatory recall authority. In EU member states, all food must be traceable "one step forward and one step back" so industry and government can quickly track any food products to minimize harm to public health and reduce the economic impact on industry. Food and feed business operators must be able to document the names and addresses of the supplier and customer, as well as the nature of the product and date of delivery. Officials in several countries told GAO that mandatory recall authority--the legal authority to remove, or require another party to remove, a product from the market--is rarely used but is an important part of the food safety system because it is the last stop in the supply chain. None of the selected countries had comprehensively evaluated its reorganized food safety system, although several track certain indicators, such as the number of inspections, enforcement actions, and foodborne illness. However, some countries' national audit offices (GAO's counterparts) have evaluated specific aspects of their countries' systems. For example, the UK audit office found that the country's Food Standards Agency had improved public confidence, a stated objective. The EU's Food and Veterinary Office has conducted numerous reviews of aspects of all EU countries' food safety systems and identified areas needing improvement. Most of the selected countries use proxy measures, such as public opinion surveys, to assess their effectiveness. Public opinion in several countries has improved in recent years. Countries' industry and consumer stakeholders also generally had positive views of the reorganized food safety systems. Experts identified food safety challenges that they expect to face over the next decade. These include climate change; demographic change, with increases in elderly people and immigration; and new types of foods, such as ready-to-eat salads, that may result in more incidents of foodborne illness.

Evans makes a splash
Olympic gold medal swimmer Janet Evans was surrounded by water. Standing in front of a gushing waterfall at the Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, the Laguna Beach resident helped host the 44 Women for Children's ninth annual luncheon.
An auxiliary of Orangewood Children's Foundation, 44 Women focuses on abused and neglected children who have grown and still need help. The organization supports programs that mentor foster youths and raise money for college scholarships. "We wanted to raise money for children who have been emancipated from foster care, and we really felt that was an area that was being ignored," founder Susan Samueli said.
Guests were ushered into a ballroom where tables were set with a mix of blooms, from pink roses to giant pale-green hydrangeas. Inspiring words began to flow. "I've learned not to say 'no' because the 44 Women don't just come to you with ideas – they come with resources," said Carlos Leija, chief development officer of 44 Women for Children.
He introduced scholarship student Osiris Avalos, who spent years at Orangewood. The first in her family to go to college, the petite brunette captivated the audience with her story.
"The foundation is a big family," she said. "They provide love, care and support." Then she added: "Janet Evans is a role model. She is an example of all I hope to be."
Evans, 41, wore a navy-colored tailored silhouette by Tory Burch and delivered a heartfelt speech about achieving dreams no matter the obstacles. She chronicled her journey from giddy girl who just wanted to march in the opening ceremony to a "true champion" who eventually learned that it wasn't all about coming in first. Her greatest Olympic moment turned out to be running the torch at Atlanta's opening ceremony in 1996.
"For the very first time, I could see the looks in the athletes' eyes," Evans said. "They were going to do their best to represent their countries. When I was running the torch – and who was standing there for me to pass it to but Muhammad Ali – at that moment I realized, medals don't matter, it is not about winning."

News of the year in the technology industry. "The Fit's most important spec its display, with a nod to Sony's TV division: they come with 1600x900 or 1920x1080 touchscreens and nothing else. 'We're not going to offer 1366x768," reps said. 'We've killed that.'" This is Sony's new, simplified entry-level notebook line. Very, very welcome news in a world where even a supposedly "Pro" laptop that costs $1199 ships with... A 1280x800 resolution. This bottom-of-the-barrel crap needs to be eradicated, and good on Sony for taking this step.

"Wow, people actually want low screen resolutions by choice?
Hell,yes pea-brain. Unlike you and your friends, not everyone is a brain-damaged gamer. "
How is a a lower resolution better? Is because buttons and other things get smaller? That isn't an issue of resolution. It's an issue of "resolution independence" with the graphical interface. I don't think people should be demanding LOWER resolutions, but more resolution independent interfaces.

The color green could be gaining a foothold in your wardrobe. This fall, the color will be more prevalent, with three shades of green ranking in the season's Top 10 colors for women and men. Deep lichen green (somewhere between army and khaki) topped the women's list. While green is not exactly a shocker of a fall color, it turned up in the more unusual hues of emerald and linden green.
Sizing up fall's color palette, Pantone Color Institute's executive director, Leatrice Eiseman said, "If you ever walked in the forest or the woods in the fall when the leaves have fallen, there is such a gorgeous mélange of color. This palette reflects those wonderful fall colors but at the same time there are colors that bring a certain sturdiness and structure."

After two years of research, the Villa Paloma and the Villa Sauber are presenting an exhibition of architecture, town planning and urbanization in Monaco, 1858 to 2012
It took the New National Museum of Monaco (NMNM) two years to study, catalogue and gather together the documents on architecture and town planning in the Principality.
The result is revealed in the exhibition "Monacopolis - Architecture, Town Planning and Urbanization in Monaco, Achievements and Projects, 1858 – 2012," which is based on three main themes: buildings that were never constructed, buildings that have been demolished, and present-day buildings.
Images of today's urbanization were taken using aerial photography.
The Villa Sauber is presenting a tour of the Monte-Carlo district (more than 600 historic maps and numerous models are on show). The Villa Paloma is exhibiting projects that were never carried out and proposed solutions that are imaginative and spontaneous. Of note are a rather mysterious little sketch by Le Corbusier and proposals for urban expansion by the London-based group Archigram.
Finally, the "Off Circuit" program is an opportunity to see this exhibition in a different way each time, from 19th January and on a regular basis, thanks to the architects, artists, musicians, writers and historians who have been invited by the NMNM, and will make everyone's memories of the city even more vivid.
Villa Paloma – from 19 January to 12 May 2013
Villa Sauber – from 19 January to 30 December 2013

Dow Corning recently published a comprehensive white paper on the use of aluminum tooling for moldable optical silicone. It examines two big questions:
- To achieve a high-quality finish on the molded parts, what type of optical-grade surface finish is required for the tooling used to mold the silicone optics?
- Can this be achieved with an aluminum injection mold or is tool steel required to provide parts with an optical finish?
Read why integrating optical silicone into your development cycle with rapid injection molding is an effective strategy, and why aluminum tooling is a reliable indicator of future moldability.
Why use optical moldable silicone? It's a relatively new material to the market, but it is quickly gaining popularity as a replacement for glass components in many optical and lighting applications. Its benefits include:
- clarity
- heat resistance
- durability for use in outdoor and automotive applications
- design flexibility for fine features
- an ability to combine multiple parts into a single unit
Learn more about optical silicone with our "14 Reasons Why Optical LSR is Good for Lighting Applications" design tip.

- - first batch of chicks hatched
first batch of chicks hatched I set about 22 or 23 eggs 3 weeks ago. I candled the eggs at day 7 and it looked like all eggs were growing. I candled again at day 10 and tossed out 2 or three that had blood rings. then i candled again at day 18 and had to toss out a couple more that i could see were way behind the other eggs. so i knew they had stopped developing. That left me with 18 eggs that were due on the seventh. well yesterday afternoon they started hatching and when i checked on this morning i had 18 chicks in the incubator. I have another batch that is due to hatch in about a week. I have 30 quail eggs due in about 1 week (raising them for meat) then 9 Sussex eggs in 2 weeks. I have them in a small animal cage. it makes a great brooder. I have a heat lamp with a 60watt bulb for heat. I need to raise it a couple inches as they are too hot directly under the bulb. In about a week they will be moved to a outside brooder with heat. Here is a couple pics. Attachment 132222 Attachment 132224 Attachment 132225 Attachment 132226 |
We have been hatching since January and due to the bitter weather we now have there are young birds in every nook and cranny! As I write there are two incubators hatching out, twenty goose eggs due next week. We have chicks in the tackroom, in the aisle of one of the barns in a big run, all under lights. Another batch of 40+ are in the kennels. Some will be sold off at an auction next week the rest we will have to find room for! |
Baby chicks! I so used to love seeing a dozen or so chicks w/their mom pecking in the yard. |
I only have 1 hen i let set and raise her own chicks and that is my little game hen. She was a stray that showed up here a couple years ago and was as wild as they came. She Is a very aggressive mother and will flog the day lights out of any thing that gets to close to her chicks. I know this from my own personal experience. I tried to look under her ONCE why she was setting. She came off that nest like a swarm of angry yellow jackets. She promptly flogged me from head to toe. she was so fast i could not tell where she was coming from. |
Beautiful birds! Lol, makes me miss having them around. ;) |
Uh oh! Prepare to be addicted to hatching chicks. Cute little fuzz butts though. I love hatching chicks. My hubby... no so much :) |
That hen looks like the fiesty one I had years back-what a buzzsaw-I called her RoadRunner. |

The H-Bahn connects Dortmund University's two campuses: Campus North and Campus South.
Travel time between Campus North and Campus South (1.1 kilometers - .7 miles) is just under two minutes.
Typically H-Bahn: Elevated stations with passenger areas taking up less space on street level.
When building station "Dortmund University S", walls of the urban railway tunnel had to be torn down to facilitate direct access to the H-Bahn platform.
The northbound track diverges to station "Dortmund University S" - a precondition for extending the H-Bahn to the science park
A H-Bahn cabin just passed the curve switch, i.e. a switch being built into a curve.

Specificity / Sensitivity
TIMP3 (D74B10) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total TIMP3 protein.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, MonkeySource / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding residues surrounding Lys53 of human TIMP3.
TIMPs are members of the family of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that includes TIMP1, TIMP2, TIMP3, and TIMP4. The main function of TIMPs is their inhibitory effect on MMPs. TIMPs irreversibly inactivate MMPs by direct binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor and resultant inhibition of proteinase function (1,2). In addition to MMP inhibition, TIMPs have also been shown to interact with various membrane receptors on the cell surface. Some of these interactions include: TIMP1 with CD63, TIMP2 with α3β1 integrin, and TIMP3 with VEGFR2, all of which result in distinct cellular effects (3). TIMPs are involved in a wide variety of biological functions, such as tumor angiogenesis and progression (4,5), wound healing, and vascular remodeling (6,7). Mutations in TIMP3 are associated with Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (8,9).

If you are willing to be mindful, you have to commit yourself. In some sense, you have to take a kind of vow that you are willing to be mindful and aware. It is saying to yourself: "This is my work for today and for the rest of my life. I'm willing to be aware. I'm willing to be mindful." When you have such a strong and real conviction to begin with, there are no further problems, in some sense.

Name That Drama is back! As always, if you've got a drama you just need to identify — maybe you saw it years ago and can't remember much, or maybe you only caught part of it and never found out the rest — send us your requests so we can post new inquiries in future editions.
- Mel's on the hunt for a period drama:
It's a very old Korean drama, and because of the dull colours, I suspect that it was shot in the 1990s. The story is probably set between the 1930s to 1960s. There's a single mom raising 6 or 8 children. Her oldest son, a teenager, works away from home in a rich family as a tutor. Her oldest daughter had a crush with the tenant. The youngest child is still a baby. The family is very poor and lives in a small village. The mom is a street hawker. The side characters, other than the family, are their neighbours, I remember, some of them being the village grocer. I watched the replay perhaps 5 years ago. I remember it's heartwarming show about how this family overcome their poverty and obstacles together.
I know it's difficult because it's not a recent drama. Any help is appreciated!
- nimmy's drama sounds fairly recent, which hopefully narrows down the window:
I suddenly remembered about watching this one drama way back around 2007-2010 (I can't remember the exact year). It was airing on one of the English Korean channels. I can't remember if it was KBS, MBC America, or Arirang.
Anyways, it opened up with the disclaimer that it was intended for 15+. Then it showed a girl squatting on a bathroom floor with her shoes on and then blood was running down her leg. I assume she was giving birth. The girl was in distress and very angry. I think she was cursing the father of the child. Then it cuts back, I assume, to the past before she became pregnant. She meets this one man who says he's a writer and they have a conversation during a car ride together.
I know the details are very vague because it was so long ago and I never finished that episode, but any help would be appreciated!
- Natalia asks:
It was a really sweet drama (I think it was a drama) about a father-son relationship. What I could get is that:
- The father was divorced and tried to get as much time as he could with his small kid but his work was in the way.
- There was this really sweet scene in the beginning of the episode with the kid saying goodbye to his best friend.
- Then the kid spent the day at his father's work place, but the kid always ended up in some kind of trouble, and while he was at his father's desk or being taken care of by one of his father's co-workers, the father was trying to give a good presentation for his bosses. In the end the presentation was a success, but the kid lost himself inside the building and couldn't reach the elevator panel to use it, but the father found him.
- In the end of the day the father met the mother who was there to pick her son up and the father was troubled if he should go back to work or go to where his son was leaving in a bus with his mother or be there to say goodbye to his son. He chose to say goodbye to him and there was this really beautiful scene of father and son saying goodbye.
- sasha isn't entirely sure this is Korean, but let's give it a shot:
Hi, there was a short part of a drama I watched in a hotel when I was on vacation a couple of years ago. I wasn't into dramas back then so I couldn't differentiate what language it was in (either map or korean?).
The episode I watched was about a girl who went on a vacation and because most of the people in her tour group were with their lovers, she lied that her boyfriend was unable to make it (she's single) to save herself from the embarrassment of going on vacation alone. One guy (the lead guy), whom she has met before, was coincidentally also in the tour group and embarrassed her in front of everyone by saying that she is single, just like him.
The episode was really hilarious but I couldn't find out the name of the drama so YAY for Name That Drama!! Sorry that this is so vague and is only an episode, but I really wanna know the name of this drama!
- And beet's drama does sound Soulmate-esque (which certainly used that motif), though I don't recall exactly where in the series it occurred. Anybody else know?
Recently I was speaking to my friend about Plato's Symposium and the idea that people used to be one body with 4 arms and 4 legs and were then split by Zeus into that we are now, and we wander around the earth looking for our other half.
I remember seeing this in a Korean drama/movie where the main female protagonist is walking out of a store. She is really sad and happens to look into the display window of the store and there is a television playing an animation of this idea.
Do you have any idea what this drama/movie is? I just can't think of it! I thought it it might be Soulmate or Alone in Love but I haven't been able to find the scene~ any tips welcome 🙂

Yiddish Songs and Workers' Rights: Notes From the PJA Dinner
A couple of things became apparent during the Progressive Jewish Alliance's annual gala in Los Angeles last week, factors which will surely shape the run-up to the 2012 election. These factors did not include the "Yiddish songs of the labor movement," which were performed entertainingly enough by singer Cindy Paley as guests shmoozed pre-dinner, but are unlikely to be adopted as campaign anthems unless David Dubinsky rises from the grave and runs for office.
The fund-raising dinner held at Temple Sinai in Westwood, where the merger between the PJA and — what's that other org? many of the evening's speakers joked — ah yes, the Jewish Funds for Justice was officially announced, also featured as guest of honor U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis. A Latina and an L.A. native, Solis extolled the virtues of the country in which she rose from humble origins to a cabinet post. She received warm applause for praising the community organizer's vocation, to which many in the packed banquet room, including Freedom Rider and PJA-founding member Ralph Fertig, had been called.
The warmest applause, however, came at the point in Solis's speech when she hailed her boss, the President (another community organizer), saying she would be happy to serve Obama for another four years. And from the room's unanimous reaction it was clear that the White House is wasting no time mobilizing its potent force of surrogates who are already on the campaign trail, firing up the Democratic base.
The second factor was the newly announced first campaign by the Merged Entities (a committee is deliberating on a new name for the org) championing the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. The push for "ethical employment practices" urges employers to provide a living wage, overtime pay, insurance and contractual guarantees to household help. Two bills are currently moving through the legislative process — one in New York and the other in California, where last week PJA/JFJ activists lobbied lawmakers in Sacramento, and helped move AB 889 a few steps closer to passage, making the Merged Entities a political force as well as a force for change.
For as the Merged Entities continue to raise the labor issue in the coming months, more perilous looms the political pitfall for any candidates with an illegal nanny, undocumented yard worker, or repairman who might feel ill-used or underpaid. Squads of journalists are undoubtedly at this moment staking out playgrounds, eying those Spanish-speaking stroller-pushers and their blue-eyed charges, and chatting up the day-laborers outside Home Depot, the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in hand, to catch unwary politicos.
Stay tuned for the next Nanny-gate, as well as the Merged Entities' new name.

Reply to: | names by Angela |
ok Jennifer is a really common name, and changing letters doesnt make it ne less common
using male names for the middle names of girls (ie. robert) is just... wrong
I think you need a name that is catchy, and flows, dont get so caught up on it being unique you loose sight of the fact u just want the name to pop up, and be memorable
Names can be very common names, but flow so nicely, and seem so natural, we will never forget them
eg. Louis Lane
personally, aileen sounds either like a little shy girl, or a middle age woman
emlyn sounds like a elf
addison... a boy
Mariska - a russian form or Marissa? I think this name has the most potentialMarissia, Mirijia (from the word Mirage), i like the name Makari, Makira, Makiria, Matajia, Maris, Marisian, Marisianna, Mirijiana (this sounds like Marijauana, is just an idea), Mirtigia, Mikia, Matisika, Matisikia, Midia (Muh-dee-ah)
u get the idea,
have fun
Makari (Mah-kaw-ree), Makira (Mah-kear-ah) and Mijiria (Muh-jear-ee-ah) the best~Silver

wikiHow to Make a Pousse Café
A pousse café is a layered drink that is traditionally served in a cordial glass. A layered drink that is served in a shot glass is not a proper pousse café. Various ingredients can be used, but a very traditional pousse café recipe calls for grenadine, yellow chartreuse and green chartreuse. These ingredients can be substituted with other ingredients as long as it is still possible to layer the ingredients. A more complex pousse cafe can be made by adding additional layers of different ingredients.
- One part grenadine
- One part yellow chartreuse
- One part green chartreuse
1Set a cordial glass on a table.
2Estimate the capacity (volume) the cordial glass. Divide this by three, as each layered ingredient will take up about one third of the glass. This can be done by eye or with measuring cups. If using additional ingredients, divide the glass evenly according to the number of ingredients.
3Pour the grenadine directly into the glass so that it fills up about one third of the glass.
4Using the technique described in the article Make Layered Shots, layer the yellow chartreuse over the grenadine.
5Layer the green chartreuse over the yellow chartreuse.
6Serve the drink.

This Peanut Butter "Cheese" Ball is a creamy peanut butter mixture rolled in chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Serve with graham crackers or apples for a sure hit!
I wasn't kidding when I said I've been obsessed with peanut butter lately. But I think I've finally satisfied my craving. I made this peanut butter cheese ball for a get together last weekend that ended up getting canceled at the last minute. My husband was out of town for an away game so that left me with this peanut butter cheese ball all alone. There was no one home to pull in the reigns or least make my conscience feel a little guilty as I devoured it.
The first time I tasted this was at game night at my friend Jenni's house. I was training for a marathon and just completed one of my long runs that day so I was feeling like I had earned the right to eat whatever I wanted. So I did. I ate about half of the cheese ball…no joke.
Freeze the peanut butter mixture in saran wrap to make a ball shape. After the ball has set up, roll it in the peanut butter and chocolate morsels.
Peanut Butter "Cheese Ball" | Print |
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter (not all-natural)
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup milk chocolate chips
- ¾ cup peanut butter chips
- Graham cracker sticks, teddy grahams, and/or apple slices for dipping
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until blended.
- Spoon onto a large piece of plastic wrap; bring up all four corners and twist tightly forming into a ball shape.
- Freeze for 1 hour 30 minutes or until firm enough to keep its shape. Place peanut butter and chocolate chips in flat dish. Remove plastic wrap from ball and roll ball into morsels to completely cover, pressing morsels into the ball if necessary.
- Place ball on serving dish; cover and freeze for 2 hours or until almost firm. (Can be made ahead. If frozen overnight, thaw at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.) Serve with graham cracker sticks, teddy grahams, or apple slices for dipping or spreading.

Though light armor and armament made it vulnerable to the superior numbers of ships often fielded by the Empire, the tiny ship was nearly impossible to hit for the slow moving asrtillery of capital ships, forcing Imperial commanders into costly ship to ship combat. The sheer skill required to take full advantage of the A-Wing's capabilities made it the ship of choice for many of the Alliance's elite pilots.

iPhone 4.3.2 Untethered Windows Jailbreak
Dev Team has released newer version of redsnow that allows you to do untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.2. It is being said that it uses the same exploit as the one used in iOS 4.3.1. The jailbreak guide that we posted few days back (for mac and windows) is limited to tethered one. Also, those who rely on carrier unlock must not use RedSn0w. Infact, they should stay away from 4.3.2
First, download 4.3.2 for your iPhone and update your iPhone to 4.3.2 using iTunes. To force an update, hold down the shift button (CMD on mac) and click on Restore button.
Then, download the newest version of Redsnow app (links given at the bottom of this post). Start it and browse for the official 4.3.2 IPSW file.
Then, select Install Cydia. Click on Next.
Turn off (completely off) the iPhone and then plug it into the computer. After plugging it in, click on Next. Now you will be told to enter DFU mode. To do that – hold the power button for 1 second and then while holding it, press the home button as well. Then, after few seconds, while holding the home button, release the power button. Installation should begin now.
Wait for sometime for the RedSn0w / redsnow to do the magic. Your iPhone will restart automatically and in the end, you will have a fully jailbroken untethered firmware of 4.3.2.
[redsnow download link – windows version | mac version]
Update – iPhone 4.3.3 windows jailbreak guide (tethered) is now up

Atomic Rainier
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Designed with a flatter camber for more performance on your descent, Atomic's metal-edged Rainier ski is an all-mountain ski for touring backcountry routes. Where other skis need skins, the Rainier kick-and-glide pattern allows you to power over flats and ascend without shuffling.
- Mountain Gear
You're looking at the Atomic Rainier Posigrip Ski, which means that you're interested in ditching the skinny, resort double-track and heading for the freshness of the backcountry. Nice choice, we like you already. Far from an overly-snappy skate ski, this versatile stick plows through fresh snow and choppy conditions with a fat waist and grippy base. You could buy an alpine ski to accomplish all this, but the Rainier blows those fatties out of the water thanks to one characteristic: low weight. Tour light-and-fast with the Rainer and leave the spandex crowd back at the resort where they can talk about work while they take VO2-max readings every 2,000 meters.
- Backcountry.com
Why did we ever think busting trail in long and narrow skis was any fun? Atomic's Rainier Posigrip touring ski is nearly as wide as downhill skis of years back. Easy to maneuver, wide for stability and flotation, a positive grip pattern that works on nearly all snow types. The camber is a bit more than a downhill flex ski, to allow efficient grip and glide in deep snow. But point them downhill, and they still turn with ease. Atomic Rainier Posigrip features: Sidecut: 87-60-78mm High Densolite Core. Used in some of Atomic's renowned race skis, Densolite Cores are cut from a dense block of acrylic. Shaped into the ski's camber before placed into the molds, Densolite makes a ski lighter and livelier than wood cores. Weight: 4lb 1oz/180cm ski Sizing: 168cm /99-132lb, 180cm /121-154lb, 192cm /143-220lb
- OMCgear
CLOSEOUTS . If you live for backcountry terrain, Atomic Rainier Nordic touring skis with Possigrip are your best choice for exhilarating off-trail ventures. Possigrip base enhances climbing without effecting glide Lightweight, high-density Densolite core Wide shovel nose powers through crud More width increases float on powder Waxless Sidecut dimensions: 87/60/78mm Weight: 3 lb. 12 oz. pr.

There's one thing better than a warm chocolate cake: a warm chocolate cake served with a rich cream sauce. This 139-calorie dessert only feels like a splurge.
Leave a Review
Delicious-I didn't make the sauce and instead topped with fat free redi whip and sliced strawberries. I also added a teaspoon of espresso powder to the melted chocalate. The perfect size for a sweet bite after dinner.
I did not make the sauce. We thought these were excellent, and no one guessed they were light. I used semisweet chocolate instead of bittersweet. The cakes also took longer to bake (about 17 minutes).
I've made this recipie twice. I think it tastes very good for 139 calories. The first time I made the sauce as directed, but the second time I made it a vanilla sauce and used a whole vanilla bean--very good. I also used sugar-free chocolate syrup to decorate the plate before adding the cake. The cake is very light, similar in texture to a soufflle, and only a few bites, but what else would you expect for 139 calories? I'll make it again for guests who want a healthy treat.
Most disgusting thing I havc ever made. Tasted like spoiled milk.

When it was announced last August, few were surprised by the unveiling of a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sequel. After all, GSC Game World's open-world first-person shooter managed to sell around four million copies worldwide, all but ensuring the franchise's continuation. Now, all of the sudden, any hope one might have had for more S.T.A.L.K.E.R. looks as though it has been dashed.
There are a variety of conflicting reports appearing all over right now, but the gist of them amounts to this: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 development has completely ceased, and that GSC Game World will in fact be closing its doors.
The original news report on the subject, which appeared on Ukranian news site Ukranews, posited multiple theories as to the developer's closure. One particularly strange one involved Ukranian law enforcement expressing an "interest" in the company, whereas another simply stated that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 development had not been going particularly well, and that company founder Sergei Grigorovich had simply had enough.
Initially that report was denied by the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. twitter page, but that denial has since been deleted. RockPaperShotgun reached out to GSC Game World, and merely got a "Sorry, no comments at this point" response.
Several outlets have cited comments from a Twitter user named Dmitri Bourkovski as confirmation that the studio has closed, but Bourkovski appears to have no direct connection to GSC Games World, and even says as much elsewhere in his Twitter feed.
We'll update this story if any additional details leak out, but as of right now, it's all looking pretty dire.

The Brazil international paid tribute to his coach as he prepares to bid farewell to the Spanish giants and has welcomed Neymar to Europe
The former Inter boss will leave Spanish football in the coming weeks after three years with the capital club, and the Brazilian says he can do so with his head held high.
"We have not yet said goodbye to Mourinho in the locker room, but he is a great coach who has helped Real Madrid a lot," he told Canal+.
"I wish him all the happiness in the world. We'll see who his replacement is and we'll see what happens next season."
Neymar's long-awaited move to Barcelona was confirmed on Sunday and Marcelo went on to welcome his fellow Selecao star to Spain.
"I'm happy for him because he's going forward in his career. I wish him all the best," he added.
Goalkeeper Diego Lopez starred in los Blancos' 3-3 draw away to Real Sociedad on Sunday and the 31-year-old has thoroughly enjoyed his time in the first team.
"In Madrid it is hard to be sad. I always try to do my best. I said at the time that every minute in Real Madrid is gold and that's what I want to do, take every opportunity you have to play," he told the club's official website.
Real Madrid conclude their Liga campaign by hosting Osasuna on June 1.

Reform California's mental health laws
May 10th, 2012, 2:27 pm by Kyle InfanteLAGUNA WOODS, Jennifer Marks: I'm sorry for what happened to Kelly Thomas and his family but what happened was almost inevitable. Homeless schizophrenics who refuse to take their medication almost always end up in a florid psychotic state, a state in which they cannot think clearly, perceive reality correctly and do not have any control over their impulses. They are having delusions and experiencing hallucinations almost all the time and they cannot distinguish between what is real and what is not. Such a person is a loose canon walking our streets. If someone like this also uses street drugs or gets involved in crime, the result is often a disaster with a violent outcome.
Readers must be aware that Thomas had assaulted and threatened his family members in the past, to the point where they had to throw him out of the house or call the police. Initial police reports said someone who resembled Thomas had been breaking into parked cars (the reason the police were called in the first place). The police do not have a psychiatric evaluation in front of them when they respond to a call for help. An attempt by officers to question or arrest a person in this state of mind can often provoke a violent reaction. Thomas may have had stolen property, drugs or burglary tools on him when he was stopped, triggering resistance. Apparently, he refused to answer questions or cooperate. The police don't know what is wrong when they encounter someone like this, but they can't just let him walk away.
In a volatile situation involving a stranger, it is often not possible to assess someone's mental state, an out-of-control person may be a wanted fugitive, a mentally ill person, retarded, high on drugs, angry at someone else or just plain oppositional. And consider the added possibility that ordinary street criminals sometimes fake mental health symptoms. A civilian cannot handle this situation or subdue a person in a psychotic rage. They must be subdued by force.
The root cause of this unfortunate incident is California's ridiculously liberal mental health laws, which allow psychotic and hallucinating individuals to walk the streets and sleep in public areas. The histories of the families often reveal that relatives have repeatedly tried to enroll these family members in treatment programs, only to have them drop out over and over again. Families are frequently frustrated by hospitals and psychiatric facilities that may hold the individual for a few days, stabilize them on medication and then discharge them with an out-patient appointment that the patient rarely keeps.

Back to Step Two: Homeschool Curriculum | Move to Step Four: Homeschool Approach |
You are now ready to study THE HOMESCHOOLING SUBJECTS which make up your Curriculum.
However, if you haven't set your goals, you don't really know where you are heading or be able to plan your Course of Study.
If you haven't decided on your Course of Study (Curriculum) you won't know what subjects you should be studying and why.
If this describes you come back to this page when you have completed:
As a Christian I believe that since God is the author of all things, all of life and all that is to be known is connected and intertwined.
However, in reality, we like to separate knowledge into compartments. We like to divide and classify what is to be known into divisions of which we can make sense.
A Subject is a body of knowledge to be explored. We can deal with this body of knowledge in a simple way, and through the years build on it to have a greater understanding.
In Homeschooling, some families like to combine areas of learning whenever they can. Some Home-schoolers use History as a base. By working through historical time-periods, you can study literature of the time, scientists of the time, science inventions and movements, historical characters and events, world views and philosophy, art and artists, geography of the countries being studied, mathematicians..... all in context.
Subjects are also being expanded continually as the body of knowledge is growing. With continued research, more discoveries are made. Just think of the ever increasing knowledge in the Computer/Technology area.
Not only are all things intertwined, but all things are created by Him, for Him and through Him. In Colossians 1:16, we read, "For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him." God is the author and sustainer of all things.
We really need to have a proper understanding of this as Christians. Every subject we teach must have its basis in God. It is created by God and only if we see it in relation to Him, does it make sense.
There is no place for "neutrality." This is God's world. All belongs to God and so we must teach in this way and also evaluate what we use in this way. Everything we use, must be sifted through the tool of God's Word and made subject to God. In Ephesians 1:22, we read, "And God placed all things under his feet (Jesus' feet) and appointed Him to be be head over everything for the church." If a text in a certain subject is said to be "neutral", it is not really neutral- rather, it is taking the standpoint of "no-God." Therefore, it is saying, "Man is God", and this subject being taught, is purporting the notion that we can explain things without a "god" and without being subject to Him.
All of life belongs to God. It doesn't mean that if God is not mentioned on each page, we cannot use a text. No, but if, by leaving God out, the text is not placing all things under His feet, then we, as parents, must place it under the scrutiny of Scripture, and give God the glory, show where texts are lacking, show where man is made to be "god". We need to redeem all things and place all things in the proper context. After all, this is the sin of Adam, and this is the sin of all mankind since. Humanism began in the garden of Eden.
By teaching each Homeschooling Subject, we should be giving the glory to God. As parents, we must be showing that God's ways, God's truths are seen in every part of life: good vs evil in all literature; in the beauty of the sunset; His providence and goodness is seen in the rains that replenish the earth; His patience is seen in his prolonged judgement. All of life points to God and this is what we, as parents, must understand in order to cultivate this understanding- this whole-of-life Christian worldview.
It's easy to say these things, but sometimes we need reminding of what we are doing, where we are headed and why. Keep on Track is a free homeschooling E-zine which will provide you with practical curriculum advice and food for thought. Keep on Track helps you to focus, keep motivated and strive towards your homeschooling goals. What do you want you homeschool to look like? |
On each of the Homeschooling Subjects Pages, I will include:
The Subject Overview will outline the common divisions of a subject and discuss it in more detail. It will describe the WHATof the subject and also the purpose in teaching it.
This describes ways in which a subject can be taught. It is written to help you stretch your mind to see that homeschooling subjects can be taught in a variety of ways using various methods and materials. Hands on activites,Play writing, excursions, Computer power-point presentations, videos, audio, games, living books, manipulatives and so on.
Here I have divided the area of study into skills which are being taught. The skill lists are general and are listed in order of sequential understanding. They build on one another. They are not divided according to age, but they are listed in order of difficulty. This skills list may be useful when writing a program for yourself or for an inspector for Registration purposes.
Here you will find all sorts of Resources that will help you teach this subject. It will include my Recommendations for each Subject.
It will contain living books, kits, curriculum, websites and free resources which may be useful.

Joseph Hall, the 12-year-old boy on trial for killing his neo-Nazi dad, has been found guilty. The LA Times reports that Riverside County Superior Court Judge Jean P. Leonard believes the boy knew what he was doing, saying, "this is not a naive little boy unaware of the ways of the world."
Hall claimed he killed his father due to an episode of the CBS show "Criminal Minds," in which a child kills their abusive parent and isn't punished for it. The judge said while the boy had been damaged by abuse and neglect, the evidence that he plotted the 2011 attack and his knowledge that it was wrong could not be ignored.
The father, Jeffrey Hall, was a neo-Nazi leader on the west coast and took his son to events, including patrolling the Mexican border looking for illegal immigrants. "It's clear that this minor knows more than the average child about guns, hate and violence," Judge Leonard said.
A juvenile disposition hearing has been set for February 15, which will determine Hall's punishment.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

There are 5 alternatives - vote for the best!

If you have the Perl 'rename' installed, you can use the already known:
rename 's/foo/bar/' foo*.jpg
for file in foo*.jpg; do mv "$file" "${file/foo/bar}"; done
This is the *definition* of command-line-fu.
The util-linux-ng rename works nicely here too. At least in debian/ubuntu it is included by default and invoked explicitly as rename.ul:
rename.ul foo bar *.jpg
no quoting here, and the shell will expand *.jpg. If you needed to go recursive, in zsh and bash4.0 just replace *.jpg with **/*.jpg, otherwise find works for this:
find . -name "foo*.jpg" -exec rename.ul foo bar {} +
Pretty soon I am going to start keeping a running count of how file-renaming submissions have been made here at commandlinefu.
