Corsair A50 and A70 Review
Primarily known for their desktop and laptop memory, Corsair has been expanding their product lines to solid state hard drives, power supplies, as well as cases and cooling products. Corsair offers a wide range of products, from value to top end enthusiast, and many will agree that their offerings are top notch. Today in this review, I will be exploring Corsair's new "A" series of air coolers, which use a direct contact heat pipe layout and shrouded fans. These coolers are the Corsair A50 and A70, which are in the upper end price range. I hope to see them perform well when compared against the latest heatsinks from other manufacturers. In this review, I will provide a complete evaluation of these products, including thoughts during unboxing, assessment of their features and construction, specifications, and stress testing.
Closer Look:
The Corsair A50 and A70 are packaged in black cardboard boxes with high quality graphics and their respective model numbers printed on them. The left and right sides of the packages provide a short list of features and specifications of each cooler in several different languages, while the rear of the packages display a graph of performance over the stock cooler, as well as some more features and explanations. Since the A70 is slightly a bigger cooler, the box is a little bit larger than the packaging for the A50. In all pictures, I will position the A70 to the left of the A50. In separate pictures, the A70 will be in the left-most picture.
The A50 and A70 are protected internally by blocks of Styrofoam and arrived safely without any damage to them. The heatsinks are packaged with all required mounting hardware, fans with built in shrouds, user's documentation, and fan plug extensions and a Y-cable with the A70. The Y-cable has two 3-pin female connectors with one 3-pin male that only requires one header to be used on the motherboard, which means both fans on the A70 can be controlled by only making one adjustment.
With the A50 and the A70 out of their boxes and everything else unpacked, I will now begin to take a closer look of the heatsinks and compare their similarities and differences. The next page will contain a closer look of the heatsinks.

Tom, thank you for your answer, here I mean 1866 MHz, OCZ3P1866C7LV6GK kits. I expect their availability must grow up till the end of the winter when I'm going to finalize the construction of my home Beowulf. I'm slightly confused: the test results from the Corsair site tell about significant difference in performance between i7 with 1333 MHz memory and 1866 MHz memory, from other side Tom's hardware forum tells that the only parameter that matters is the latency and there's no difference between a low-latency 1333 MHz memory and 1600 MHz memory. But I'm afraid that chosing 1333 MHz memory now will eliminate the sense of future upgrade to Xeon (motherboard supports it) or Fermi-in-SLI.

Is Ireland's problem a Basel problem?
Does the Ireland crisis bespeak a major weakness in the Basel capital-adequacy regime? Simon Nixon thinks so: the fact that investors won't lend to Bank of Ireland, he says, "highlights a major weakness of the Basel capital rules that European banks operate under."
This is an interesting idea: Ireland's problem is a banking problem, banking problems are Basel problems, and therefore it stands to reason that Ireland's problem might be a Basel problem. But if you look more closely at Nixon's reasoning, his thesis ends up falling apart.
Nixon lays the blame at the feet of Basel's well-known weakness: the fact that it concentrates on risk-weighted assets rather than total assets. And he implies that there might be large national differences when it comes to the ratio of risk-weighted assets to total assets, while conceding that thesis " is impossible to prove from regulatory disclosures."
But there are three huge things missing from Nixon's piece. First, he takes just one bank from each of four different countries (Santander in Spain, BNP Paribas in France, Barclays in the UK, and Deutsche Bank in Germany) to illustrate national differences. He would be much more interesting, and much more compelling, if he presented a couple more datapoints in each country, to help give readers a better idea of whether French banks in general tend to have a higher ratio of risk-weighted assets to total assets than German banks in general, or whether we're just looking at idiosyncratic differences between BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank.
Second, Nixon thinks that the credibility problem in Ireland is a function of the way that the banks' risk-weighted assets are calculated. He's right that the market is skeptical that Bank of Ireland really has a core Tier 1 ratio of 8%. And he's right that risk-weighted assets are a key part of that calculation, and can throw it off. Essentially, the ratio is (A-L)/R, where A is total assets, L is total liabilities, and R is risk-weighted assets. If R is artificially low, then that makes the ratio artificially high.
But the fact is that it's not the denominator here that the markets are worried about. Instead, it's the numerator. The key problematic number is A, Bank of Ireland's total assets. Many of those assets are Irish commercial real-estate loans for which there's essentially no buyer right now except for the Irish government. And a huge proportion of the rest are Irish residential mortgages, which might be performing for the time being but which would surely sell for much less than par if the bank tried to sell them on the open market.
Any mark-to-market valuation of BoI's assets, then, would almost certainly show the bank to be insolvent. (This is not news: it's true of all banks in all crises.) And the reason that the market won't lend to BoI is that it fears the bank is insolvent. And that has nothing to do with its risk weightings at all: it doesn't matter what the denominator is, if the numerator is negative.
Finally, Nixon nowhere mentions any Irish ratios of risk-weighted assets to total assets! The very heart of his thesis would seem to be that Basel understated the riskiness of Irish banks by coming up with an unreasonably low number for their risk-weighted assets. Yet Nixon doesn't tell us what Bank of Ireland's ratios were, in comparison to those other European banks, and he doesn't give ratios for any other Irish banks, either.
I suspect this is more than just an oversight. In general, banks reduce their ratio of risk-weighted assets to total assets in one of three ways. They can be heavily involved in investment banking, where loans tend to be taken out in the repo market and are fully collateralized; they can be heavily invested in structured products with triple-A credit ratings; or they can be heavily exposed to OECD sovereign credits. Ireland's banks, by contrast, were more old-fashioned than that: they just loaded up on property loans, which tend to carry a full risk weighting. There are clearly lots of things wrong with Ireland's banks, but I doubt that artificially reduced risk weighting was one of them. Certainly Nixon adduces no evidence that it was.
Is Ireland's problem a Basel problem, then? I don't think so—or if it is, then we'd need to see a lot more numbers first before Nixon came close to making his case. I understand that the Heard column has space constraints and specializes in short, punchy analysis, but this piece is so short as to be pretty much useless. At the very least, Heard should allow its writers to put extra material online, showing their work, as it were, to back up the conclusions in the printed paper.

Flower Power
September 1999
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
Some call them "Nature's Prozac," but depression is only one of many emotional imbalances they are used for.
To some, the idea seems just too good to be true: Take a few drops a day of a harmless, pleasant-tasting liquid, and your anxiety or depression or other negative emotions will just melt away. Yet for many people, including many PWAs, that appears to be just what happens.
They are flower remedies developed in the 1930s by noted British bacteriologist and homeopathic physician Edward Bach. These and other more recently developed flower essences -- and there are now hundreds of other lines of essences in addition to the original ones developed by Dr. Bach, made from flowers worldwide -- are still one of the best-kept secrets among natural therapies.
These gentle healers are nontoxic, nonhabit-forming essences of flowering plants that help to rebalance negative emotional states such as fear, anxiety, depression, and poor self-image. Flower essences have no floral scent or taste, and are not related to aromatherapy, which is closer to herbology. Rather, like homeopathy, they are classified as "vibrational" or "subtle energy" medicine.
Like many other natural therapies, flower essences act on the level of the individual's innate healing capacity, or healing intelligence. Taking them is rather like rebooting one's inner computer, restoring order to a system that has gone off course.
There is as yet no clear scientific explanation for how or why these essences work. Author Mechtild Scheffer, in her book Bach Flower Therapy: Theory and Practice, describes the action of the Bach remedies as "healing by restoring harmony in awareness." In one of a very few double-blind, controlled studies done thus far, a study conducted in California in 1979 by Michael S. Weinglas found that use of the Bach remedies enhanced creativity, deepened self-understanding and self-acceptance, and increased humor. Los Angeles practitioner Yolanda Lacombe believes that the essences help the immune system by strengthening a person's sense of protective boundaries, reinforcing the distinction between self and nonself -- which is, when you think about it, just what the immune system does.
Flower essences may be used in conjunction with any other therapy, and they can be especially effective when used along with psychotherapy. Each flower essence deals with a particular emotional state. In the Bach flower remedies, the original essences developed in England by Edward Bach, there are 38 different individual remedies. There is also one combination -- called "Rescue Remedy," "Calming Essence," or "Five Flower Formula," depending on the manufacturer -- that is particularly useful for coping with high-stress or emergency situations, such as accidents, exams, dentists' appointments, or temper tantrums. Rescue Remedy also comes in a cream form that is wonderfully soothing for burns, stings, cuts, and other skin afflictions. Flower essences can be used equally effectively with adults, children, animals, and plants.
There are two basic ways to use the essences. On an occasional basis, such as for temporary stress or anxiety, they may be administered by putting two drops (four in the case of Rescue Remedy) directly under the tongue or adding them to any beverage. For long-term treatment of more chronic problems, such as fears or trauma, a formula can be made up containing one or more remedies (up to a combination of six) in a one-ounce dropper bottle. The formula is then taken several times a day for a month or more. This method achieves much deeper, longer-lasting results.
Regulated under the homeopathic pharmacopia of the Food and Drug Administration, flower essences are classified as over-the-counter substances and are available at most health food stores and many pharmacies, or directly from the manufacturers. The Flower Essence Society, in Nevada City, California, offers training, research, and an extensive list of publications. Information is also available on the Internet at a variety of sites.

Did you read the piece that everyone's buzzing about in The Atlantic on why women can't have it all? Well, I agree: women really can't have it all. I know this because, well, I am a woman, and lo and behold, I don't have it all.
Still, people tell me I have it all, all the time. Perhaps that's because one thing I do have is a huge job that I love as editorial director of Parenting and all of its brand extensions (a fancy way of saying "a bunch of other stuff"). I also happen to be a single mom to a cute and kinetic six-year-old boy, Javier, so to say my work and home life overlap is an understatement.
Both of those things keep me pretty busy, but I'm happy to report my life is even more full than that: I have an adorable 1940 bungalow that I am forever remodeling or decorating with stuff I find at Target or Home Goods. Those shopping trips usually involve Javier and a small bribe like frozen yogurt (though in my family, we call it ice cream) if he promises to let me browse in relative peace and quiet. When I'm feeling stressed or I need to take a business trip, I'm lucky enough to have two healthy parents who jump in to help. My ex-husband and I are not just on speaking terms, we're actually friends. We talk every day, and it's not always about Jav. Just this morning he sent me a power-point presentation he found online explaining why I need a permit for the porch I'm having built. Oh, and I've got an adorable boyfriend I met online a year ago who makes both Jav and I silly happy. When you take all this into account, I'm blessed with many wonderful things, but alas, I still don't have it all.
The reason is simple: In order for me to do one thing well (make a delicious, healthy dinner for my son at the end of a long day without burning down the house, for example), I have to stop doing other things, like edit an award-winning story or come up with a $2 million-dollar marketing idea. All of these things have been known to happen, but never while cooking a delicious, healthy dinner for my son without burning the house down.
I've learned over the years that the only way for me to do everything well is to focus on one task at a time, so I've had to learn how to set my priorities. The irony is that I spend my workdays helping other modern moms balance their lives—hence I feel an enormous amount of pressure to practice what I preach. I leave work by 5:45 every day and rarely miss a classroom party, even in the midst of a work schedule that has me on the road fairly frequently. The way I see it, I'm the only family my son has in his daily life right now, so I am committed to doing whatever it takes to be not only present, but also engaged.
I'm not sure it's ever been easy to balance work and family life, but there are times when I think to myself, "Oh, Ana, what have you done? You've gone to college and grad school, moved to New York City and then various cities, worked your way up through myriad magazines, scored several promotions, enjoyed many perks, including the occasional fancy business dinner, survived divorce, found a new great boyfriend, and yet, low and behold, you still don't have it all."
That's OK. I think my life's pretty darn good anyway. Follow my blog and twitter feed (@apconnery), and come along for the ride.

text: New Farm Bill Dairy Provisions Effective, But More Expensive October 30, 2013 08:54 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Dairy provisions in the 2013 farm bill, under consideration today by the Senate/House Conference Committee, are likely to be "very effective in providing catastrophic dairy margin insurance," says Marin Bozic, a University of Minnesota dairy economist. He and colleagues from the Ohio State University released a policy brief today that outlines the potential benefits and costs of the proposed programs. You can read the full brief here. "The costs of the new policies are estimated to be up to three times higher than the cost of extending the 2008 farm bill dairy programs, with a larger share of program benefits accruing to large farm operators," says Bozic. The Senate version, which includes a market stabilization program, aka a somewhat benign supply management, would reduce costs 5% to 30% compared to a stand-alone margin insurance program. "If effective, the Senate stabilization program could also reduce the duration of low-margin periods," says Bozic. But here's the conundrum: If the stability in net farm income is increased substantially, then farmers could respond with more milk production. That, in turn, could then decrease prices and reduce income over feed costs margins. Who receives the most government support will also shift under the new program because there are no herd size limits. The economists estimate that herds with less than 100 cows received 42% of benefits under the now-expired Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program of the 2008 farm bill. Farms with more than 1,000 cows received just 6% of the MILC benefits. Under the proposed policy, farms with less than 100 cows will get 17 to 21% of net program benefits, while herds with more than 1,000 cows would receive 36 to 43% of the benefits. One problem identified by the economists is the sign-up deadline. The current proposal allows producers to sign-up on an annual basis immediately before coverage kicks in. But this would allow producers to strategically game the program, because they'll know feed and market conditions going into the new coverage year. This fact alone could increase program costs to the government and taxpayers by 20%. To create more uncertainty, the researchers suggest having a six month gap between sign-up and coverage start.

There are always certain wrinkles that bother us more than others. Megan, aged 8 tells me its the wrinkle on her wrist she doesn't like. For me, its the good old facial wrinkles – whilst I have been spared from any trace of crows feet, I hate my nasolabial (smile) lines. Whilst I doubt I will every get anything like Botox, it seems like a good idea to lock down NOW, on that bitch of a wrinkle.
So you know I'm lazy too? Well I want something not to expensive thats quick and easy to use and that works!
Enter Timelapse Wand. It completely appealed to me because I like mini (apart from meal sizes) and I like handy.
What on earth is this?
The Timelapse Wand is a line and wrinkle removing agent that produces instant skin tightening.
One of the actives is a special molecule naturally derived from Spanish lavender oil that reduces muscle contraction. Inhibiting muscle contraction diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the facial area within minutes of application. It is not a drug. It is very safe and produces no side effects.
Long term benefits of using the Timelapse Wand:
* Fills in wrinkles by stimulating fibroblast mobility
* Promotes collagen organization
* Improving epidermis renewal
* Improves and preserves elasticity of the skin.
* Dramatically firms and tones skin.
* Minimizes the appearance of deep wrinkles
* Encourages cell rejuvenation
* Promotes repair of the dermal skin layer
Hey, its that freezing the wrinkle business again!
To use the wand, apply it directly to the wrinkle and wait 2 mins for it to sink in. It lasts for 24 hours (if you don't wash it off) and can be applied over make up.
Also, only apply on the areas that need to be treated. The Timelapse Wand can be used anywhere fine lines or wrinkles are present such as forehead creases, crow's feet in the eye area, laugh lines not all over your face as you won't see the benefits.
What I think….
1. Really affordable at £12.99 inc. shipping
2. Super compact, the size of a lipbalm so I can rather religiously take it out and about
3. Targets areas of the face
4. Cute?
5. Moisturizes the skin and seems to have a really softening effect
Works on TOP of make up too
1. It's so small I thought I lost it twice
2. It is a bonafide anti-wrinkle-anti-ageing product? I can't be completely sure. It has rehydrated and plumped my skin out nicely, although the lines are still there – but I don't expect miracles from a humble little stick. However, I will keep using it, because its so easy to use and I always end up doing my make up on the move.
Verdict: It's good, give it a go!
Allium Sativa ext., Palmitoyl Hydrolysed Wheat Protein, Capryllic Triglycerides, Sunflower Oil Unsaponifiables, Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, Lavendula Stoechas, Octodecyl PCA, Linoleic Acid, Glycine Soja, Arachidyl Behenyl Alcohol, Arachidyl Glucoside, Panax Ginseng ext., Foeniculum Vulgaris ext., Vitamin C, Retinyl Palmitate, in a base of: Beeswax, Glycine Soja, Aloe Barbadensis, Cocoa Nocifera, Butyrospermum Parkii, Fruit, Tocopherol, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract.

Learning Spatial Concepts: The Roles of Language and Structural Alignment
Micah B. Goldwater, Department of Psychology, Northwestern University
Dedre Gentner (Co-PI), Department of Psychology, Northwestern University
How can we help children learn spatial concepts? Earlier research has shown structural alignment is a powerful tool in helping children learn novel spatial relations (Christie & Gentner, 2010; Gentner & Namy, 1999; Kotovsky & Gentner, 1996). Our goal in this project was to test whether these ideas could be applied to support children's learning of mechanical principles. In previous work towards this goal (Gentner, Levine, Dhillon, & Polterman 2009), SILC partnered with the Chicago Children's Museum to investigate whether structural alignment can facilitate the acquisition of stable construction principles: specifically, diagonal bracing (a subcase of the general principle that triangles confer stability in construction). This study also drew on prior findings that alignable differences— differences that relate to the common structure between a pair—are particularly salient (Gentner & Sagi, 2006; Markman & Gentner, 1993). In Gentner et al. (2009), children were presented with pairs of model buildings; one building was made with diagonal braces which gave the structure stability and the other had horizontal crosspieces which provided no structural support. There were two training groups: high-alignability [HA] and lowalignability [LA], which differed according to whether their pairs were highly similar and thus easily aligned, or were superficially different, and thus more difficult to align (See Figures 1a. and 1b.) During the training, children were shown that the building with the diagonal brace was more stable (harder to wiggle) than the other building. After a 15-minute unsupervised construction session, children's understanding was assessed with a Repair Task: children were shown an unstable building and asked to show the experimenter where to put a piece to make it stronger. The orientation of the child's added piece (with respect to the building's frame) was coded as either diagonal, horizontal or vertical.
Model BuildingsFigure 1a: Low Alignability and Figure 1b: High Alignability
The results showed that children in the high-alignability condition generated more diagonal braces than those in the low-alignability condition (Gentner et al., 2009). Thus, as predicted children in the high alignability group learned the principle to a greater degree—for these children, the diagonal brace emerged as an alignable difference, thus helping them focus on how a diagonal brace helps make building stable.
In the present research, we are extending these results in two ways. First, we are testing whether alignment-based learning can support transfer to new structures that are less similar to the original training than in the Gentner et al. study. We are also testing whether such transfer will be facilitated by combining the use of relational language with analogical alignment. Such a finding would be consistent with the idea that language can foster transfer to new situations (Gentner, 2003, 2010). The current work tested how using the label brace for the concept can increase the robustness of the knowledge of that concept.
The experiment had two phases. The first phase was a replication of Gentner et al. (2009) in the laboratory. The children compared the two model buildings (either high-alignable, or lowalignable lowly), and then performed the Repair Task as described above. Replicating Gentner et al. (2009) the High Alignment condition (78% success) elicited more diagonal placements than the Low Alignment condition (41% success), t (62) = 3.25, p < .01 (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Performance on brace-placement repair task
In the second phase of the experiment, we introduced the brace label for the spatial concept. The original two buildings were presented again. In the Spatial Language condition, the children were told that the building with a brace was strong "because it has a brace." In the control condition, the children were simply reminded that "This building is strong". After a filler task, children were presented with two new model structures—one braced and one not—which looked dissimilar to the first pair in numerous ways. size). Children were asked which building
Figure 3: Performance on transfer test
was the strong one. As seen in Figure 3, both alignment, f (1, 60) = 9.47, p < .01, and spatial language f (1, 53) = 13.66, p < .01 were helpful in aiding children to transfer the principle to the new structures. In fact, every child who received both the high-alignment training and the spatial label succeeded!
This study shows the power of structural alignment and spatial language in facilitating children's learning of spatial concepts. Current follow up studies are investigating whether children retain this concept over a delay of a few weeks, and examining their ability to generalize their knowledge to real-world structures, such as bridges and skyscrapers.

Passion, and what you do with it, served as the prevailing theme in Saturday's Horizon Christian School Commencement for the Class of 2011.
"We are citizens of heaven and we must put our hearts into all we do and breath with all passion that's within us," valedictorian Tiffany Lehman said. "Because if we live with purpose, with passion, we're going to be successful."
"Passion is the first step toward achieving great things. Nothing great was ever accomplished without passion," said guest speaker Brandy Rovianek Walton, a graduate of Summit Christian School (now Horizon) in 2000 and now an adjunct professor of business at Warner Pacific College and Portland Community College.
"God has a purpose and a plan for your life. Make sure you are pursuing it passionately, and when you do you will see you are a changed person; and as a changed person you'll have a chance to change the world," Walton said.
One speaker mixed a bit of understatement along with the earnest words of encouragement that marked the day.
"Some of you know my name is Andrew Stenberg," said the 2011 salutatorian. "I have been going to Horizon for the last 13 years of my life."
Stenberg is the last of his family of nine children to attend the school," where his father, Oscar, is a charter teacher and longtime athletic director.
Also graduating were Kayla Williams, Paige Sorensen, Rachel Frost, Monika Sterr, Jordan Andersen, Jonathan Frost, Brent Rovianek, Carlos Quezada, Sam Kirby, Cody Bott, Dylan Molesworth, Kenny Collett and Tanner Pettit.
Presenting the graduates with their diplomas were board members Don Hoffman, Dan Boyden and Darrin Lingel. Acting Principal Connie Nagreen presented the grads with a small towel to go with their diploma. Nagreen said the towel references the Gospel story of Christ washing his disciples' feet.
"The towel is reminder of the humility of Christ and how to best use this (diploma)," she said.
After receiving their diplomas each exited the 50-minute ceremony hand-slapping the Horizon staff.
"It just feels right," Helen Stenberg said of seeing Andrew and the Class of 2010 receive their diplomas. "It's a bittersweet thing but more bitter than sweet. We've been through so much with all of them; but I love the people they have become.
"It's going to feel strange not having one of the kids in school," Oscar Stenberg said. "We've had as many as six at one time over the years. The kids have just plain grown up here."
In Andrew's address, he said, "I am the youngest of nine kids. It has been quite an adventure trying to live up to the legacy left behind by my siblings: physically, mentally, athletically and academically.
"I have enjoyed many a day with my family and at this school. This school has been a blessing to all of us seniors. Here we were pushed by the teachers and staff. We all enjoy a little challenge in our lives, because challenges bring out the true character in people."
On hand for the occasion were Andrew's parents, Oscar and Helen, his grandparents, Ken and Verone Lane, of Hebo, Ore., and his siblings, Kathryn, Nathan, Michael, Joel, Brian, Stephen and Philip. (Erik, who lives in Santa Barbara, Calif., was not present.)
Andrew spoke for the entire class of 2011, saying "We would like to welcome all of the family members, friends and other attending. We enjoy your company today on our momentous achievement.
"Today we are going from seniors to freshmen, from high school to college, from our homes into the real world. We would like to thank each one of you for being here to support us as we make our transfer into the real world."
Walton provided a humorous school memory of her own as she offered words of encouragement to the graduates.
"As you leave high school and embark on this journey of life, I would encourage you to passionately pursue your dreams, let passion drive you to succeed and accomplish great things," said Walton, who also recalled the days when Summit Christian, now Horizon, used the same meeting room for classrooms, science lab and lunchroom.
"We had science class that also served as the dining room. I will remember the unit when we dissected cats and wrapped up the class just before lunch. We washed down the table, pretty good I think, and then sat at those same tables for lunch where we had just dissected cats. Pretty good memory, right, Mr. Brown?" she said to Jim Brown, longtime science teacher at the school. To the students, she said, "you are very privileged to have this beautiful school now."
Walton encouraged the students to "surround yourself with passionate people, such as Mr. Stenberg. He is passionate about God. He is passionate about his family, his friends, the people around him; he is passionate about his students, and one other thing he is passionate about, he is passionate about this school. He loves this school and he's passionate about seeing it succeed.
"So as you are surrounding yourself with passionate people, and you are living a passionate life and you're being changed, and you're seeing changes in the world, you're going to run into obstacles, you're going to run into challenges and things that are trials," Walton said. "So I would encourage you to push through those obstacles, and those trials."

G640, New May 2002
The term income enhancement describes the process of increasing income by undertaking a new management, marketing or production practice. Feeding on-farm corn production to your hogs is one potential means of enhancing farm income; another is building on-farm storage for corn to take advantage of seasonal basis trends. Some producers enhance income by placing marginal land in a conservation program or leasing land out for hunting or by producing an alternative crop that may have a greater return on investment than a commodity crop. Others enhance income by adding value. Thus, value added is a subcategory of income enhancement. It is important to realize that value added is only one of several approaches that may need to be used jointly to meet the goal of enhancing income.
Adding value is the process of capturing or creating value in a product to garner a greater portion of the value of that product at final sale. Figure 1 shows the trend over a period of some 40 years in the way the value of food, fiber and fuel products at final sale is divided between farm businesses and post-farm businesses. The percentage of value due to farm businesses has declined steadily relative to the percentage of value added by post-farm businesses.
Figure 1Most of the value of food, fiber and fuel products at final sale is added after they leave the farm.
Many times an agricultural value-added business requires a combination of techniques to provide producers with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. There are essentially five "and/or" categories of added value:
To understand how the "and/or" nature of the value-added categories can be used to provide a competitive advantage, consider this simple example. A group of cattle producers wants to build a meat-processing facility (Category 5) to enhance their income by adding value to their product. They find that they need to develop a name brand and market their product (Category 1) to establish a competitive position in an industry driven by economies of scale. The five categories of added value, used in combination, can compound the income-enhancing benefit to producers.
Note that examples of real quality attributes in Category 1 above include large tomatoes and low-phytate corn rather than tomatoes and corn alone. Producing tomatoes is an example of income enhancement through alternatives to commodity agriculture. However, producing a special-size tomato to fill a niche market is an example of adding value because the tomatoes can potentially be sold at a premium by marketing to specific consumers or businesses up the supply chain.
The following are additional examples of how the five categories of value added, and other means of income enhancement, work together.
Each of these examples is about providing producers or agribusiness with a strategic advantage in the marketplace.

After much deliberation, I've decided to purchase a Giant CRX 1 for my commute into town, and will shop around this week for a good price. After some initial research, it seems that many here in Melbourne retail them for around the $1480 mark. Because I'm new to the bike scene, I'm not sure how to (or whether it is worth attempting) negotiate a good price. e.g. I'm not sure if bikes are like, say, ovens, where the RRP is generally not the price you pay, unless you're talking about a brand like Miele, which fixes the prices so that they are not negotiable. So should I be able to beat 'em down on $1480? Does anyone have a feel for the sales margin included in the RRP of a Giant?
Also, bike sales staff have told me that they will "look after me" when it comes to setting myself up with shoes, pedals, lights, etc. That's fine, but if I'm going to spend an extra $400 on accessories, I suppose we're probably only talking about knocking $100 of the overall price. Should I expect to do better on the overall package?

I suspect that there's more 'wriggle room' in the price of accessories than there is the price of the bike - they seem to be a very similar price from shop to shop. Or, does that just mean that there's about the same wriggle room everywhere?
It's easy work on the package price - and I suspect that you should get more than $100 off the total price. Be a bit fair to the shops though, make sure that you're comparing similar packages

Yes, 10% does seem significant. Goldcross in Chadstone will do 10% off the package for RACV members, and Terry Hammond in Port Melb will beat this. Have not been able to contact other shops yet (before 12:00 on Sunday), but will post back here if I find a better deal today.

OK, for those that follow, I paid $1580 for the bike with decent shoes, pump, puncture kit, lights, sidebars, and a drink holder.

MY LBS, gives people who have bought a bike from them a "frequent rider" card which enables the customer 10% off any future purchases, be it spares, accessories or even bikes, so yes, 10% seems to be around the mark. It never hurts to ask, although don't push it too far, as being on good terms with the LBS owner is good if you are only after advise or just want to talk bikes with someone.

History of the Association
By Sharon Toogood Froehle
Director of Gift Planning
At lunch one day, Angeline Dufner, CSB English Department retiree, told me she felt removed from her CSB community in her retirement and wished for more meaningful involvement. She was saddened that CSB did not have any method in place for retirees to learn what they could do as volunteers or even to connect with their students or current and retired faculty and staff. She also did not think the exit interview was a positive experience that invited the retiree to have a continued relationship with the College of St. Benedict and St. John's UniversityFollowing this conversation, I met with S. Colman, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, to tell her we were not serving our retirees. Somewhat surprised, S. Colman suggested I meet with Human Resources to find out what could be done. Herb Trenz, former Human Resources Director, and I subsequently met to discuss needs, possible leaders from among retirees, and a process to move ahead in forming an association.
In later discussions, Margy Hughes, Physical Education Department retiree, recollected several conversations about CSB/SJU retirees' benefits. Retirees seemed to experience a lack of information—or even misinformation—about such benefits. In addition, retirees did not have access to news on either campus nor were they invited to most events.
With these comments in mind, I convened a group of retirees to initiate conversation about retirement from CSB/SJU. Throughout the year of meetings that followed, the initial planning group expanded to include representation from all areas of retired employees. As a result of several meetings, the committee devised procedures as well as the formal name for this group—Association of Retirees—with approval from Stuart Lang, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, and Judy Bednar, Interim Human Resources Director.
Thanks to assistance from several offices, the planning committee has established and set forth what it thinks are clear and, in some cases, new benefits for all retirees. Retirees now also have access to several Web links that connect them to information and ongoing events at CSB and SJU.

New Scents from Mrs. Meyers
Mrs. Meyers is a staple for cleaning throughout my home - kitchen, bath, laundry, you name it, I probably have used a Mrs. Meyers product for it. And, they have one thing in common - they are all in the pink-labeled "Geranium" scent. This year at the H&H show they had a full lineup of new scents and we got the low-down on them all.
Hand soap will be available in Green Apple and Honeysuckle.
A holiday scent, Orange Clove, will be available in hand soap, dish soap and countertop spray.
Soy candles (in a new, smaller size) will be available in Iowa Pine, Snickerdoodle, Orange Clove and Cranberry.
COMING SOON FROM: Mrs. Meyers

Marshall Vian Summers claims to be receiving a new message from God. Over the past thirty years, Summers has recorded more than 800 spoken revelations while living in seclusion in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies. He claims these revelations come from God and are being given to him by angelic emissaries.
When asked about his "New Message," Summers said, "It was revealed to me by an Angel of God, a powerful, mysterious presence that filled my mind and the surrounding environment with grace."
In the beginning, Summers found believers in his wife, his son and a small group of committed students. Yet now, a growing number of people are staking their faith in Summers' claims, and most live far from Colorado.From South Korea to Uganda to Saudi Arabia, people are congregating virtually on Summers' website, and his organization regularly releases translations in seven languages.
With followers worldwide, Summers' organization has turned to live internet broadcasting to preach the word. One Sunday a month, Summers presents via webcast an "original revelation of the New Message from God" to his viewers.
And on February 6th, Summers will descend Moses-like from his proverbial mountain in the Rockies to offer his newest digital stone tablets from God. This month's release: a 47-minute revelation entitled "Deeper Recognition in Relationships."

RE: "Again, as I responded in another post, aluminum foil hats won't do."
But they look so stylish --
pax vobiscum,
Especially with a little antenna on top :D
RE: "Thoughts? Besides 'He is full of crap.'"
No, I think that pretty much covers it --
pax vobiscum,
If a person alerts his neighbor that his house is on fire, would it be to scare the neighbor? It would be prudent and caring of him to alert his neighbor, wouldn't it?
Marshall's intention is to warn the humanity and wisely counsel it to prepare for the future which will be unlikely the past. Do not attempt to conceal your fear with jokes and foolishness. Allow your fear to turn into concerns which will incite you to become educated about life in the universe and prepare for the future.
A really bad analogy. It's only when you actually smell or see a fire that you run around yelling fire, don't you think or do you run around yelling fire, because it could well happen in the future, in one of the houses - sometime - maybe. Please don't do that, 'cause you may well get locked up for causing a riot :D
No fear - no god- no angels - no et's. Do you ever wonder what it would be like to live without fear of a supernatural, or talking angels, or a myriad of charlatans controlling you. It is a really nice place to be.
You're exactly like a neighbor who doesn't realize in his/her sleep that his/her house is on fire. You need to be alerted, so you can put it out…and save yourself. Everyone must be alerted regarding the ET Intervention
Hi Off-The-Grid,
Can you clarify what you stated?
Off-The-Grid - not doubting you, but I got a completely different message - they told me they drove their Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry, so they changed plans. The'd like you to let him stay at your place til they're ready to beam him up - that's Ok, isn't it?
pax vobiscum,
I DO hope they're housebroken. Bet they'd taste like chicken --
pax vobiscum,
No fire, no fear, no god, no angels, no et's, but lots of people with fantastic imaginations, and one charlatan (well, one of many, actually) - but you have to guess who that is. How about if your group actually do something useful, with so much time on hands - instead of yelling fire, that is - and start reading books about Science Fiction - and you will see where Marshall gets his et stories. Did you ever see Star Wars, and the bar scene. Extra Terrestrial's having a drink - brilliant imagination. If I didn't know better, I would have believed that they really were ET's. :D
Your bible works on fear, and so does marshall, it is that simple.
Soooo, when you come onto an Atheist forum, what do you think you will achieve.
I have to have proof of god, which, so far, there is none, so if there is no god, vis a vis, no talking angels, no et's.
Declaration of Human Sovereignty – Regarding Contact with Extraterrestrial Nations and Forces
We, the People of Earth, extend greetings to all races in the Greater Community of the Universe. We acknowledge our common heritage before the Creator of all the Universe, both visible and invisible. We declare the planet Earth as humanity's Planet of Genesis, our Homeworld, and our sacred inheritance. We pledge henceforth to sustain and preserve the Earth for all generations to come. We call upon all humanity to treat all races everywhere with wisdom and justice, here on Earth and throughout the Universe.
Fundamental Rights
We, the People of Earth, regard the need for freedom to be universal. Therefore, we hold that all individuals in all worlds are created equal and are endowed by the Creator with sacred and inalienable rights. Fundamental among these are the right to live as a free race on their Planet of Genesis, their Homeworld; the right of self-determination, self-sufficiency, and creative expression; the right to life without oppression; and the right to pursue in life a higher purpose and a higher calling that the Creator has provided to all.
Before the Greater Community of the Universe, we, the People of Earth, do now invoke these fundamental rights for ourselves and for our Homeworld, along with certain rights that naturally derive from them, including:
We, the People of Earth, consider it our rightful responsibility to assert and defend these fundamental rights, and to give and receive aid consistent with these rights. In the case of any dispute with extraterrestrial forces, the burden of proof of innocence shall fall on those who are not native to Earth.
The Assessment
When in the course of their evolution it becomes necessary for the native people of a planet to unite, to transcend the conflicts and differences that have separated them from one another, and to assume among the powers of the Universe a separate and equal sovereignty, a respectful consideration of that sovereignty requires that they declare the causes which impel them to this present course of action.
Although the Earth has undergone a long history of extraterrestrial visitation, the current situation is that the People of Earth are now suffering the effects of a global extraterrestrial intervention into human affairs. This intervention employs a strategy of deception, manipulation, and exploitation, the goal of which is control over humanity, which will result in the loss of human freedom and self-determination. It is now the sacred right and duty of the People of Earth to oppose, resist, and repel this extraterrestrial intervention, to declare and defend our sovereignty, our freedom, and our independence from all extraterrestrial forces.
Let these violations be considered by those supporting the cause of freedom throughout the Greater Community:
Demands and Declarations
Accordingly, we, the People of Earth, do hereby declare all previously existing agreements or treaties between any human government, group, or individual and any extraterrestrials to be forthwith null, void, and permanently suspended. We demand that any such previously existing treaties or agreements be fully and publicly disclosed. Any future agreements or treaties between human governments, groups, or individuals and extraterrestrials must be negotiated only with the full consent of the People of Earth, publicly and openly expressed by an international democratic body representing the nations and peoples of Earth.
We demand that all extraterrestrials now cease all operations and activities and immediately vacate and depart from the Earth and its surroundings including the Sun, Earth's Moon, and all planets of this Solar System. This includes vacating any natural or artificial satellites, as well as all space within the Solar System.
We demand that all extraterrestrial organizations who have established or operated bases on the Earth, its Moon, or anywhere else within this Solar System, dismantle these bases and fully disclose their nature.
We further demand that all living humans who are now in custody of extraterrestrials be returned immediately in good health; further, we demand a full accounting of all humans who have been taken or held by extraterrestrials, including those who have died in captivity. In addition, we demand that all human biological or genetic materials taken from any individuals be accounted for and destroyed, and their intended use be identified. Any devices implanted in living individuals must be identified so that they may be safely removed.
We demand full public disclosure of the purpose and details of the extraterrestrial hybridization program, including the location, identity, and activities of all living human-extraterrestrial hybrids, whether on Earth or elsewhere.
Be it known throughout the Universe that from this time forward, extraterrestrials may only enter our Solar System, approach our Earth, fly in our skies, set foot on our soil, or enter our waters with the explicit consent of the People of Earth.
We, therefore, do solemnly declare that the People of Earth are and should be a free and independent people; that all humans are hereby absolved from all allegiance to extraterrestrial powers, and that all political and economic connections between them and the People of Earth are totally dissolved; that as a free and sovereign race in the Greater Community of the Universe, we assume full power within this Solar System to conclude peace, levy war, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to undertake all other actions which a sovereign planetary race may rightfully and ethically do.
Concluding Statement
Let it be understood that in making this Declaration of Human Sovereignty, we, the People of Earth, affirm our future and destiny as a free race within a Greater Community of intelligent life. We recognize that we are a part of this Greater Community and that we are destined over time to encounter many different races from beyond our world.
To them and to all others, we hereby declare that our intention is not conquest or domination in space. We declare that the rights and privileges that we affirm here for ourselves, we also affirm for all races of beings whom we might encounter.
In making our Declaration of Human Sovereignty, we proclaim our rights, responsibilities, and privileges as a free race in order that we may pursue greater unity, peace, and cooperation within the human family without unwanted or unwarranted intrusion and interference by any outside nation or force from the Greater Community. We make this proclamation as an expression of our Divine right and honorable intent for the human family and for all races in the Universe who seek to be free.
It's comforting to see a legal document exists that we can use in the intergalactic court of law should the mean ETs take our planet and sovereignty illegally.

Easy Icing: Kuhn Rikon Frosting Decorating Pen
We absolutely love decorating cookies. We've been decorating cookies since we were little and could barely reach the kitchen table.

Our prayers were answered when we found the Kuhn Rikon Frosting Decorating Pen. While some may argue this takes the fun out of things and that it may be an unnecessary tool — you're probably a great cookie decorator. Not all of us are, so we welcome this product with open arms.
Set includes three frosting cartridges, one color mixer, three filler plates, five decorating tips and a nozzle for filling cupcakes. The decorating tips are easily changed and allow for no frosting to be wasted. Gone are the days of messy cookies, cakes and cupcakes!

Ballard Local Government Series
The following forms are in order as they are referenced in the text.
The purpose of this manual is to help fire protection district officials understand and comply with the state's requirements. It is, first and foremost, the work of the late John Ballard. This edition would not be possible without the original manual that John conceived and wrote. One mark of John's authorship is his use of stories to teach. A number of his stories and examples are included here.
The effort to continue John's work depends on many people. First, John's family led the effort by making his work available to University of Missouri Extension. Patrick Cronan, attorney, significantly revised this fire protection district manual. In addition to updating sections outdated by the passage of time and legislation, Pat added important sections focusing on day-to-day activities that, while easily overlooked, are essential to successful fire protection district operation.
The Local Government Resource Group (LGRG) within the Community Development program of University of Missouri Extension devoted many hours to creating and reviewing this edition. The LGRG is led by Judith I. Stallmann, professor, community development extension, agricultural and applied economics, rural sociology and public affairs, University of Missouri-Columbia. Other LGRG members are Julianne Stone, director, Local Government Partnership, St. Louis (University of Missouri Extension, University of Missouri–St. Louis and East-West Gateway Council of Governments); and Tony DeLong, University of Missouri Extension. The late Eber Cude, community development and local government extension specialist, Pulaski County, and Ron Higginbotham, retired community development extension specialist, Boone County, also contributed to this manual.
Many others provided advice and comments that greatly improved the quality of the manual: Chief Gregory Brown, Eureka Fire Protection District; Chief Steve Paulsell, retired; Frank Vatterott, partner, Vatterrott, Harris, Devine, Kwentus, PC; and Darrell Kubinski, Mark Fancher, Robert Ishmael, Scott Huntington, Dave Ellzey and Ike Bonebrake of the Crocker Fire Protection District. We also thank MU Extension Publications, particularly George Laur, Victoria Knapp and Dennis Murphy. We express our deepest appreciation to all who contributed to this work. They provided the quality; any errors are ours alone.
We hope this effort is useful to those who make local government work. Readers should recognize that the topics covered in this manual can rapidly change due to court decisions and new federal and state legislation. The advice or recommendations contained herein may not, therefore, be completely up-to-date or accurate at all times. We recommend that districts engage legal counsel as needed in order to ensure that the planned actions are appropriate.
After the effective date of Missouri legislation each year (Aug. 28), fire protection district officials are urged to check the Missouri Legislature's website to identify new laws affecting districts at http://moga.mo.gov.
Some, but not all, changes that affect districts would likely be found online at http://moga.mo.gov/statutes/chapters/chap321.htm.
Missouri Sunshine Law changes would likely be found online at http://moga.mo.gov/statutes/chapters/chap610.htm.

If you want a thing bad enough To go out and fight for it, Work day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it, If only desire of it Makes you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it, If life seems all empty and useless without it And all that you scheme and you dream is about it, If gladly you'll sweat for it, Fret for it, Plan for it, Lose all your terror of God or man for it, If you'll simply go after that thing that you want With all your capacity, Strength, and sagacity, Faith, hope, and confidence, stern pertinacity, If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt, Nor sickness nor pain Of body and brain Can turn you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it, You'll get it. - Berton Braley

Recipe: Blake's Mt. Prospect
While doing a kitchen tour of Blake's well-utilized kitchen, I was treated to an early cocktail. Blake chose to name the drink Mt. Prospect but if there is already a name for this particularly excellent combination of ingredients... advanced apologies.
Blake had been experimenting the night before during a rare moment of household calm. Good at improvising and good at naming things, here's the result.
The Mt. Prospect* May be scaled to any number of servings
Glass full of ice
2 parts bourbon or whiskey (Jim Beam in this case)
2 parts freshly squeezed small minneola tangelo juice
2 splashes Peychaud's Bitters
Squeeze of lime
Our drinks were made individually, but if it doesn't offend you too much, feel free to make this recipe in bulk. Start with ice, add the whiskey, followed by a freshly squeezed orange of your choice. Splash in the bitters and a squeeze of lime and then give it a good swoosh with a chopstick. Taste. Adjust to your liking. Enjoy.
Blake's son wanted in on the kitchen action, so he made a 'potion' out of tangelos, cranberry juice and 'olive juice.' And best of all, he drank it and liked it!
*In honor of Blake's Brooklyn neighborhood of Prospect Heights.


text: I'm pretty sure at one time or another that someone has told me to look at possible travel routes my ancestors may have taken. Routes in context to the travel options available in the appropriate time period, such as the railroad. At one time or another someone, maybe several someones, told me to map out the locations where I knew my ancestors lived. I might have even attended a class, or four, that stressed using Google Maps to help visualize our family in their locations. I apologize to each and every one of you, that shared that very valuable information with me, for ignoring your advice.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Smith is reconstructing a pre-Revolutionary War abbey for wealthy clients. Among its remarkable features is an overgrown labyrinth. Unable to resist, Tessa accepts his offer to work with him.
Soon she is immersed in the project of a lifetime. But one evening, after weeks of work in the labyrinth, Tessa and Smith are attacked. While protecting Tessa, Smith is stabbed, and the nightmare begins...again.
Author Bio▼▲
The Edge of Recall, like Kristen Heitzmanns other novels, invites the reader beyond the often predictable storyline of Christian fiction into a world of mystery, intrigue, and romance. With unique characters and plot twists that keep the reader engaged and guessing, The Edge of Recall is one of her finest suspense novels yet.
Tessa Young, a talented but troubled landscape architect, has built her career by constructing elaborate gardens and meditative labyrinths for the rich. While these labyrinths are her passion, they are also tied to her recurring nightmares and the fragmented memories of her past, which she cant forget or comprehend. When Smith Chandler, a college acquaintance with whom her friendship was bitterly ended, reappears in her life, shes ready to slam the door in his faceuntil he offers her the project of her dreams. Given the opportunity to reconstruct a colonial-era labyrinth, she cant say no. Yet, beneath the labyrinth lurks a secret which changes Smith and Tessa forever.
Heitzmanns cast of characters is real and inviting. Tessa, in particular, is a character whom many female readers will find a kindred spirit. Like so many, she is crippled by her fear of rejection. Yet, she remains a successful and compassionate woman, as well. Smith is an amiable Brit recently recommitted to God and baffled by Tessas unpredictable temper. Beside them stands Smiths charming co-worker Bair, an ex-rugby player paralyzed by the thought of a date. Cast against them is the odious Rumer Gaston, a casino owner with plenty of money, but deficit of humanity. With swift-moving and witty dialogue, Heitzmann brings each of her characters, good and bad, to life, evoking tenderness, humor, and fear. Through the relationships between the characters, Heitzmann touches on the importance of love and forgiveness, commitment and trust.
The novels setting dances from Maryland to Nevada to Colorado, each setting splashed with local color. Readers are invited to savor southern crab cakes, bask in a luxurious casino, and rest in the Rocky Mountains embrace. Heitzmann never lets her readers get bored but provides a winding plot and an emotional journey that keep the pages turning. The Edge of Recall offers spiritual encouragement along with suspense as each of the main characters unfolds in his or her understanding of God. Heitzmann does an excellent job of showing through her characters how large the gap is between believing in a god and having an intimate relationship with Christ.
One of the novels most prominent themes is the importance of truth. Because of the ambiguities of Tessas past, she is unable to love or trust. It is only after she uncovers the reason for her recurring nightmares and her fathers disappearance during her childhood that Tessa is free to live. Smith must experience a truer revelation of Gods love before he finds his heart complete. Heitzmann subtly and skillfully weaves a story that reflects Gods redemptive heart and abilities. The Edge of Recall will draw a sigh of contentment when the last pages flutter shut, making it more than worth its price. -- Lauren M. Peltier, ChristianBookPreviews.com
