3M Pizza: Pinoy Pizza Forever
Category : Philippines, Pizza
Pizza and pasta are two Italian food favorites that have been integrated into the Filipino table fare. But unlike our Mediterranean friends, we like our pizza and pasta sweet and with a hint of spice.
3M Pizza has been well known for its ham and cheese pizza with a crispy thin crust that is smothered with sweet, home-style tomato sauce. For over 43 years now, this pizza has made millions of Filipino pizza lovers happy and satisfied. "We all practically grew up or grew old with it," said Emmanuel Sun, one of the five co-owners of Three M Golden Pizza Corp.
3M Pizza Pie was founded by Merle B. Hemedes in 1969 together with her three sisters. A regular pizza lover in New York, she thought of reinventing her pizzas by making a unique sauce that caters to the Filipino palate. To make her "pizza pie" more accessible, she put up a small kiosk outside the family's toy shop business at Araneta Arcade in Quezon City. It became an instant hit since it was the first time Filipinos ever tasted pizza.
3M Pizza, now under new a management, returns to the market in 2006 with aggressive plans to re-establish itself as the leading quick-serve pizza, pasta and snacks in the country by reinventing the brand and upgrading its image. The new owners streamlined the operations and implemented a semi-automated production process. They also established an R&D team composed of culinary chefs and market analysts who helped the company develop new products and new unique Pinoy pizza line.
With a name that is as strong as ever, a recreated brand logo and store look, better and more exciting pizza and pasta offerings, and aggressive marketing efforts, 3M Pizza is taking the business to the next level—franchising.
With the help of a franchising consultant, the company is offering an exciting food business prospect to budding entrepreneurs that is easy to operate and learn yet profitable to own.
Since 1969, 3M Pizza is characterized by its pizza unique sweet and slightly spicy sauce that caters to the Filipino taste and with a thin crispy crust topped by ham and cheddar cheese. Since then, it has expanded to 7 more flavors—top-billed by best-seller Hawaiian Delight with pineapple and ham, garlic and cheese, Pepperoni Feast, Mushroomania, Gardener's Delight, Beefy Meat Sauce, and 3M Pizza Supreme. All these toppings are offered in mini (7-inch diameter). Medium (10 inches) and mega (13 inches) sized. In addition, the company now also offers lasagna, spaghetti, 3M Pizza Roll and Cheesedog.
The company also plans to offer new toppings inspired by Filipino dishes, one of which is the spicy Bicol Express. The pasta line will also be expanded to include a new spaghetti sauce with hotdog, as well as baked Mac and "palabok."
A prototype big store is also in the works that will offer meal packages that include crispy and spicy fried chicken, sago't gulaman drink, and even sweet dessert pizza concoctions.
For details and inquiries about franchise packages, visit their website www.3mpizzapie.com.ph or call tel. 4128636 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Squatters must go
1:50pm Wednesday 7th March 2007 in Video By Gavin Harlow
A group of squatters who moved into a £450,000 bungalow in Maenporth have been given 28 days to vacate the property.
Justin Sparks and two other friends moved into the bungalow at West Bay after it had been empty for 29 years.
Mr Sparks defended his actions and said that he simply needed somewhere to live and had done extensive renovation work on the bungalow.
During a hearing at Truro county court the judge made a possession order in favour of the owner of the bungalow, Christina Walker, which means the squatters now have 28 days to leave.
The squatters did not attend the court hearing but an agent representing the solicitors of the owners of the bungalow was present.

Investing, Indirectly, in Real Estate
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stocks in my portfolio often have meaningful exposure to real estate. Sometimes, these assets -- be they land, buildings or both -- are part of the business, but real estate, itself, is not the business.
Casual-dining company Ruby Tuesday (RT) is an example. The sometimes-struggling restaurant chain happens to own the land and buildings for 368 of its locations.
Ruby Tuesday is not in the real estate business, but this portfolio may provide some opportunity and options down the line. Of course, the company needs to improve operating performance first and foremost in order to benefit shareholders, but the real estate is a potential sweetener.
There are other names where the land -- or more specifically, what's grown on that land -- is the business. In the past several years, farmland has become a mini-asset class unto itself. It's an important asset, too. They aren't making any more of it, and it's actually been disappearing as populations have pushed into rural areas over the decades. It's also vital to our survival.
Unfortunately, there are not many pure plays on agricultural land available to investors, short of actually buying farmland. But there are enough to at least get some exposure. Many of these names are very small in terms of market cap, and they can be volatile. Argentine farming company Cresud (CRESY), owns 34 farms with nearly 1.6 million acres of land. That's about 2,500 square miles, or an area half the size of Connecticut and larger than Delaware. The land is used to grow corn, wheat, soybeans, sugarcane and other crops. Cresud also has a herd of beef and milk cattle that was nearly 77,000 strong at the end of March. Other assets include a 64% stake in in Argentine real estate company IRSA Investments and Representations (IRS) that's worth about $250 million at that company's current market cap. CRESY data by YChartsThat's a compelling package of assets, especially considering Cresud's current market cap of about $400 million, but this one is not for the faint of heart.

Korean-American medical student
Hey Jae: how important is research?
I'm currently a sophomore at Stanford. My question is about research experience. I noticed that you have a lot of research/publication experience. How important are they?
It's difficult to state how "important" research and publications are. Sure, they look good, and if you end up applying to research-oriented medical schools, then having research experience will certainly be an advantage, but even at those schools, research is never the end-all-be-all determinant of how good an applicant is; it's just one facet. In my case, I didn't have much clinical experience in terms of shadowing and whatnot, so my application depended heavily on my research, and some might say overly so–I actually got asked quite often on the interview trail why I wasn't applying M.D./Ph.D. (fortunately, it was a question I was well prepared for, since my mentor and labmates had all asked me the same thing a million times).
The primary question to consider is not how important research is, but rather, how much you enjoy research. Don't you dare start thinking of research as some sort of achievement you need to check off before applying, because it's not. If you've never done it before, then definitely explore it, but only continue if you find that you enjoy the process. If you force yourself, it'll only be miserable, and believe me, classwork, other extracurriculars, or hanging out with friends are far better ways to spend your valuable (and limited) time compared to a job you hate.
That said, research is a pretty broad term. If you look hard enough, you will probably find a really cool research topic that jives with your interests, whether it's rainforest development, ethics, microfinance, etc. If you have trouble with your search, ask upperclassmen, TAs, and professors for help–Stanford is full of resources to help guide undergraduates, as are most other universities.
How can undergraduates get the opportunity to publish?
It's pretty simple: just find a project you enjoy working on (with a mentor you like and trust), and spend a lot of time working. Oh, and ask about publishing opportunities from the get-go so that your mentor can help guide you along the way–this is part of the art to determining whether a lab/project/mentor is a good fit for you. If you're looking at research labs and want to get a feel for potential publication opportunities, just find the lab's website and check out how many publications they produce each year–the more, the better. The slight caveat is that large labs tend to produce more, but large labs also mean less personal time with the mentor, since you have to compete for his/her time. Keep this balance in mind. Also, each subject has a variable rate at which publishable results can be obtained. The nice part is, admissions committees are well aware of the fact that generally speaking, clinical research has a slightly higher publication rate than basic science research.
Overall, if you put in the time and effort and produce results, chances are you'll find yourself with the opportunity to publish, whether it's in the local literary journal, scientific magazine, or peer-reviewed journal. Be patient and diligent!
And did you work in the same lab for two years (and published multiple pieces on the same research)?
Yep, I worked in the same lab from sophomore year to senior year, but I did switch projects once, so my publications were technically from 2 different projects.
When is a good time to start research?
Good question. Answer: whenever you're ready to. Be warned that research will typically take up ~10-15 hours a week, so make sure you're ready to make that commitment and juggle your schoolwork, other extracurriculars, social life, and sanity. I think the most impressive example I can think of comes from the time I hired Scott–he showed up to the interview with a printout his weekly schedule marked with all the hours each day he could potentially dedicate to our lab–the guy actually gave up his acappella group (Fleet Street) for us. David and I were blown away, and we told our boss that we had to take him even though he was a junior and hence would only be able to give 1 year to the lab (as opposed to sophomore candidates, who can give 1.5-2, which is generally favored for project continuity).
Mind you, don't go nuts and spend so much time in lab that you don't have a life. If you find yourself doing this, you're doing it wrong.
"Hey Jae" is a series that publicly answers questions from pre-med students. I get these from time to time through facebook, e-mail, etc., so I figured if one person's wondering, more likely are too. Feel free to pose a question of your own through my contact page! As always, best of luck.

Great post! I definitely think there are many merits to having research experience. And you are right in saying that there are many ways of gaining it! I started off researching at an oncology lab, but soon found out that wasn't for me. And now, I do clinical research, which suits my interests much better. The more you like something, the better you'll do at it

Are We Alone?
Date: | 05-08-04 |
Host: | Art Bell |
Guests: | Guillermo Gonzales, Whitley Strieber |
Professor of astronomy and physics, Guillermo Gonzales (privilegedplanet.com(1)), discussed the odds of life in the universe and explained his Privileged Planet hypothesis. According to Gonzales, the places in the universe that can host intelligent life (like Earth) are also the best places for viewing and analyzing the universe. He believes such "privileged" places are extremely rare in the universe.
To prove his point, Gonzales refactored the Drake Equation -- a mathematical method to determine how many intelligent civilizations are in our own Milky Way galaxy. After citing a less than 1% chance of intelligent life Gonzales concluded, "In my opinion, we're alone in the galaxy." He went on to say that while there could be as many as one billion civilizations in the rest of the universe, "we're probably alone."
Gonzales asserts that the chances for intelligent life increase greatly if the universe was designed. This is because "the Designer would have created the conditions for life on other planets." This does not necessarily mean there are other civilizations, but it certainly opens up more possibilites than a purely materialistic view of the universe, Gonzales said.

Anthropic Principle
In 1973, astrophysicist and cosmologist Brandon Carter of Cambridge University proposed the Anthropic Principle, a theory which attempts to explain why our solar system seems to be finely tuned for intelligent life. That is, the universe gives the appearance of having been specifically designed to allow for human life on planet Earth. In their book The Anthropic Cosmological Principle(1), John Barrow and Frank Tipler define the most basic form of this concept:
"Weak Anthropic Principle (WAP): the observed values of all physical and cosmological quantities are not equally probable but they take on the values restricted by the requirement that there exist sites where carbon-based life can evolve and by the requirement that the Universe be old enough for it to have already done so."
Barrow and Tipler further proposed the Strong Anthropic Principle (SAP), which states that the Universe had to bring humanity into being: "The Universe must have those properties which allow life to develop within it at some stage in its history."
Some astronomers explain the fine-tuning of the universe as a result of chance. However, in "Home Alone in the Universe," Guillermo Gonzalez and Hugh Ross argue, "By insisting that the apparent fine-tuning of our solar system's parameters is just due to chance, rather than pointing towards a greater truth, astronomers have missed out on many discoveries."

In Topic: Slip sticking to molds?
Posted 6 Mar 2013
neilestrick, on 06 March 2013 - 03:43 PM, said:
What deflocculant are you using? Sodium silicate? All clay bodies deflocculate differently, depending on what's in them. So a general casting slip recipe won't necessarily be correct for your clay body. It'll take some tweaking. I would first try drying out the molds better, then stiffen up the slip.
Been using Sodium Silicat mixed 50/50 with water, per the manufacturers directions. -

Posted 6 Mar 2013
neilestrick, on 06 March 2013 - 02:47 PM, said:
Are you deflocculating the slip? Is the mold dry and clean?
I have mixed the slip according to the manufacturers specs. With a specific gravity of 1.76. I have tried 1.79 and also 1.72 spec. gravity and have been having similar results.
The Slip does tend to "settle" or dry quickly. If I leave it for an hour or so, there is more firm "skin" layer that develops on the surface, usually about 1/2" thick. I just mix that in to the slip and strain it before pouring and it doesn't seem to be effecting the consistency of the slip.
The molds are dry and slightly warm to the touch, similar to a bone dry piece of clay. Perhaps I need to leave them dry for longer than 24 hours. The humidity has been a little hi over here in Southern Calif.
I am fairly new to slip casting, so any advice is appreciated. -

Marcia Selsor, on 06 March 2013 - 12:14 PM, said:
Have you given them time to dry somewhat?
I have tried letting them dry over night, and that didn't work. The details caused it to crack and tear itself apart. I have also tried letting them dry for about 1 hour until the slip was leather hard, or slightly beyond, and still they stick.
Is just a matter of finding the ideal drying time through trial and error? -
In Topic: Low fire Glaze no longer glossy?
Posted 24 Oct 2012
I think I may have figured it out. I think its a combination of the glaze settling out as well as adding a little too much water to the slightly thick glaze. I am going to try having the students put an extra coat on and see if that helps.
@TJR I usually have a shelf dedicated to the glazed projects and then the bisque-ware on separate shelves. I am going to try the glazed ware on the top to see if this makes a difference. -

We all know (and some of us love) the Crocs brand. They have been best known for their "squeaky" shoes (as my daughter calls them). Our family loves Crocs. Whether it's the traditional style, flip flops or some of the super cute and comfy sandals they have, we all have a pair. Now Crocs has made a different appearance in our house. The newest addition won't be worn on our feet but rather on our face.
With the new Crocs Sunglasses you have a brand you already know and love. We received two pair of glasses to try and my daughter was thrilled at the pair she received. I am already teaching her the importance of big glasses for when she becomes a celebrity. The sunglasses she received were a vibrant turquoise and hot pink. Definitely an eye catching duo. She has worn these glasses in the car, to the beach, to the water park. Living in sunny Florida I know the importance of UV eye protection in kids. She is definitely saving the skin around her eyes and bringing out her inner sass while she does it.
I received these aviator style glasses. While they weren't my personal style I loved the feel of them, very light and the tint definitely kept the sun from hurting my eyes. I handed them to hubby and had him put them on and realized they were much more his (or even my boys) style than mine. I have been carousing the Crocs website debating on which pair I want to pick up for myself now.
Another thing I was impressed with was how you could change the details on the glasses. Not the major details of course, but the hinges. On each pair of adult glasses you can change out the hinges for a subtle change.
No more mismatched sunglasses with my outfits. The kids can do the same thing but they can actually change out the arms and hinges to different faces:
I really like what Crocs has done to make your sunglasses experience a little more personalized. They definitely get approval from our family. Head over and check out the full line of Crocs Sunglasses for both kids and adults.

Plain Dealing Tour of Homes part of annual Christmas Festival
The town of Plain Dealing will welcome visitors from around the Ark-La-Tex tomorrow for its annual day of country Christmas fun.
The annual Christmas in Plain Dealing Festival will be held Saturday, Nov. 24, from 10 a.m. Until 6 p.m. at the downtown park, located at 109 Cottonbelt Street.
A day-long event accompanying the festival is the Tour of Homes, which gives visitors an inside look at two of Plain Dealing's most decorated homes. One of those homes belongs to the town's newly elected Mayor, Wiley Robinson, and his wife, Abby.
The couple live in the white, two-story home, located at 108 South Street, on top of a hill before entering the town. The home was built in the 1920s by the Cornish family and the Robinson's are only the second family to live in the historic home.
The interior of the home, decorated by Abby and Betty Dillard, features a Santa Claus, snowman and poinsettia theme. From the Christmas tree to the vintage 1965 turquoise Harley Davidson hard tail chopper, the Robinson's have filled their home with holiday cheer for their first year with the festival.
"It's a historic home and a lot of people have wanted to see what's in it," Abby said. "We decided to open our doors and let them in."
The second home belongs to John and Delores Ivy. Their home, located at 696 Bolinger Cut-Off Road in Plain Dealing, features twinkling lights on the exterior and two Christmas trees in their two-story home.
Delores, a life-long resident of Plain Dealing, said one tree has a more traditional theme and the other represents an old fashioned Christmas. As a second year participant in the Tour of Homes, Delores said opening her home to the community during the holiday festival is her favorite part of Saturday's event.
"I love decorating and giving gifts," Delores said. "A lot of people come by just to look so this is my gift to them."
The festival features activities for all ages and new events that festival committee member Glenda Doerr hopes will draw in more people to the northern Bossier Parish town.
New to the festival this year is a chili cook-off, a jelly and jam judging contest and an antique tractor show, featuring a variety of tractors brought from several clubs and local tractor collectors. A children's area, Jingle Junction, will be set up with free hands-on activities and games.
Arts and craft booths as well as food vendors will be set up around the downtown park and demonstrations will be held by a dutch oven group. Artists Doyle Ethridge of Belcher, Rod Talbot of Shreveport, Alma Lennear of Minden and Vicki Crow of Keithville will have their work on display and for sale. Rose Ann Holomon of benton will also have her work displayed.
Music in the Park is an all day event, starting with Al Lambka and his Blue Grass Band and special guest A J and the Two Tone Blues Band. There will be a book signing event beginning at 11 a.m.
Santa Claus and his elves will ride through town on a firetruck and pass out candy before a fireworks show concludes the festival. With a day filled with music, food and good company, Doerr said the Christmas in Plain Dealing Festival will be a fun-filled day for the entire family.
For more information on the Christmas in Plain Dealing Festival, contact Glenda Doerr at (318) 326-5137.

In the garden
Growing a fall vegetable garden
Harvesting vegetables out of your own garden is very satisfying. Vegetables you grow yourself just seem to taste better, and it's particularly nice to know they also help reduce the grocery bill. You can continue to enjoy home-grown vegetables until first frost or, in some cases, until several weeks after the first freeze if you begin putting a fall vegetable garden in now. In Central Virginia, the first frost usually occurs around Oct. 15, so early August is the right time to begin planning and planting. "We'll start our seeds during the next couple of weeks," says Henrico Master Gardener Robin Bryant, who's planning a fall garden with residents at the home where she works as a counselor. "It will be time to take out our squash, and that frees up a big space for planting." Last year Bryant raised fall crops of lettuce, beets, collards, turnips and kale in her garden. "Some crops will even overwinter here," she says. "Last year, I thought the kale was dead and started to pull it out, but my boyfriend suggested we leave it in, and it came back in the spring." Many vegetables can be grown in the fall, and the flavor of some, such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, Jerusalem artichokes, and Brussels sprouts may actually be improved after a frost. If they're mulched, kale, spinach, onions, lettuce, parsley, parsnips, carrots and salsify can be enjoyed throughout the winter. Before planting fall crops, you may need to restore nutrients removed by spring and summer crops by adding compost or a light application of a complete chemical fertilizer to your soil. Seeds need to be planted in moist soil so plant after a rain or water thoroughly the day before. The Virginia Extension Service recommends sprouting seeds indoors before planting for a fall garden. Sprouted seeds can be planted deeper than normal which helps prevent them from drying out. Bryant hasn't tried sprouting her seeds before planting, but she agrees that attentive watering is a must, especially after seedlings begin to appear. "You have to keep watering," says Bryant. "Water, water, water, every day, sometimes even twice a day, or the little seedlings are not going to make it." Insects may not pose the same problems in fall vegetables because their peak activity is usually in mid-summer, but you'll still need to check the plants periodically. Rotating crops so that those in the same family are not put back into the same space in the garden can also help prevent disease and pest problems. "When I was a child gardening with my father, we only had a summer garden," says Bryant. "But when I became a master gardener, I learned about fall gardens and started planting them." "We really enjoy our gardens," she adds. Fall gardens help optimize production from your gardening space, and they can be an opportunity to try again if something you planted in the spring didn't grow. As Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson says, "Gardening is always a lovely learning experience." |

Hmph. Some joker complained about me to the head secretary because I was using the copy machine. She just had to have her 100 single-sided copies.
I say teachers should get their copies done ahead of time. Maybe that's too responsible for her tastes.
Unlike her, I think ahead. Anyway, I did the same thing last week, and I timed it. I was within the 10-minute limit. Just not well within.
I was only making two class sets each of two stapled packets, each of those packets being three double-sided copies. I'm getting the jump on for next week, y'see, because I can't in good conscience do my copies before school on Monday.
That would be rude.
Funny how silly people are when we have but the one working copy machine.
Moral of the story? I'm not actually this callous. I was simply more worried about what my master teacher would say than what the head secretary or the other staff think.

ACCRA, Ghana, 1 June 2005 – Getting basic services to all African children should be a top priority for national development plans, according to delegates at the 3rd African International Conference on Early Childhood Development.
The conference, held in Accra, Ghana from 30 May to 3 June 2005, seeks to expand the understanding of what early childhood development means. Early childhood development does not mean simply preschool education; it also requires a holistic approach, including improving prenatal services, strengthening family care, and providing services and policies geared to young children.
Participating at the conference are delegates from 39 African countries, as well as high-level representatives of UNICEF, the World Bank, UNESCO and the World Health Organization (WHO).

In a village near Lilongwe, Malawi, Nkalinacho teaches her granddaughter Taona, 1, to wash her hands before and after eating. Hygiene education is important for maintaining health. |
Early childhood development impacts the course of a child's later development. When well-nurtured and cared for in their earliest years, children are healthier and better able to fully develop their thinking, language, emotional and social skills; they perform better in school; and they have a greater chance of becoming creative and productive members of society.
Effective development requires starting early
While the first two conferences in the series focused on examples of proven interventions for early childhood development, this conference is concentrating on how to translate these examples into concrete action at the country level.
The delegates are discussing the enhancement of services for pregnant women and for children during the first years of life, as well as strategies to reduce poverty and get children in school, to improve health and nutrition, and to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on young children.

A baby is vaccinated against measles at the Karagita Health Centre in Naivasha, Kenya. Immunization is vital for preventative health care. |
Children bear the brunt of Africa's HIV/AIDS catastrophe, and they suffer the most from the poverty and conflicts that have left tremendous burdens of illness, disability, and exploitation. Under-five mortality rates remain high in Africa and many unprepared students repeat grades or drop out of the educational system. Children in difficult circumstances often do not receive basic care and support.
Effective development for Africa requires starting in early childhood to break these cycles of poverty, disease and violence.

Bring God and prayer back to public schools
God and the Ten Commandments and school prayer have all been expelled from the public schools. Christmas carols are out, Christian holidays are out. The latest decision of the Supreme Court said that children in stadiums or young people in high school games are not to speak an inspirational moment for fear they may mention God's name, and offend an atheist in the grandstand.

Schools went wrong when judges & feds got involved
Over the last 30 years, ever since the judges have gotten heavily into education, and the National Education Association has gotten into control of that Department of Education, test scores go down, there's violence in classroom, things are going wrong. I would get rid of that Goals 2000, school-to-work-this idea of taking kids at a certain age and putting them right in as though we're in "1984," is an outrage. Let folks do it at the local level.

Block grants to states with all federal education funds
I would take all that money from the federal government for primary and secondary education-I would take it and I would block-grant it out to the states, and I would tell the governors, listen to the local communities. Send the money back to the local communities where parents and teachers and principals-they decide how best to improve education. That way you've got however many thousands of school districts competing with one another, and they're not being dictated to by Washington.

Federal role in science & scholarships; not grade schools
Q: Would you abolish the federal Department of Education? A: I would abolish those segments that deal with primary and secondary education. There is a federal role in higher education. We need to be first in science. That's where I'd put some money. And [some funds] for scholarships; that's a federal responsibility. But primary and secondary education, that belongs to mom, and pop, and the teacher, and the principal and the deputy principal.

Ed Dept should test the marketplace instead of testing kids
In children's education, parents come first, teachers come second, and federal judges, not at all. If I am elected president, the bureaucrats at the Department of Education are not going to be testing kids, they're going to be testing the magic of the marketplace. All federal money for the schoolchildren of America will be sent back to the school districts of America where accountability begins and authority belongs.

Replace Dept. of Education with states & parents
Parents everywhere are fighting for the hearts and minds of their own children. We must shut down the Department of Education, and return authority to the states and to the people.

For school prayer; against multiculturalism
We will preserve our heritage by passing on to our children, through locally controlled education, a love of our land, our history, our English language, and our traditional sense of right and wrong.
As President I will:
Abolish the Department of Education and return its functions and funding to state and local control
Pass a constitutional amendment to allow voluntary prayer
Reject "multicultural" curricula that denigrate our history
Support tax-free education savings accounts.

Pat Buchanan on School Choice
Support home schooling but don't give up on public schools
There's something wrong in the hearts, and so it begins at home. And the home schoolers are one of the best answers to this whole thing, where they teach children values. But we can't give up on the public schools either. And so I think what we need to do is get the ACLU and the federal judges and the federal bureaucrats and the National Education Association out of the public schools of America, and God and the Ten Commandants back into the schools of America.
Source: Remarks at Home Schools Event, Washington, DC , Sep 24, 1999
For vouchers, charter schools, & homeschooling
As President I will:
Support tuition vouchers that can be redeemed at all schools--public and private, secular and religious-that have no government strings attached.
Promote charter schools and magnet schools.
Protect the rights of homeschooling parents to educate their children without government intrusion.
Oppose national testing and teaching standards as intrusions on the rights of parents and the primacy of local communities.

Decisions by parents and teachers, not bureaucrats
We will dismantle the education bureaucracy, return the money to the taxpayers, so that education decisions are made by parents, teachers and local taxpayers, not faraway bureaucrats or federal judges.

Famicom Disk System
From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia
This article is a short summary of Famicom Disk System. Nintendo Wiki features a more in-depth article. |
The Famicom Disk System (Japanese: ファミリーコンピュータ ディスクシステム) was a Japan-only peripheral for the Famicom (known as the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America). The Disk System connected to the Famicom via a port on the bottom of the Famicom and used rewritable double-sided floppy disks ("Disk Cards") to store game data. These Disk Cards were some of the first console games to allow a player to save their game progress.
Many popular Famicom games such as The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Kid Icarus were originally released as Disk System titles. Most Disk System titles were later re-released as regular cartridges, using passwords or battery-backed memory to save game progress in lieu of the Disk Cards' rewritable memory.
Zelda games
- The Legend of Zelda (was later re-released on cartridge)
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (was later re-released on cartridge)

What is textbook buyback?
Textbook buyback takes place at the end of the semester in order to recycle books that will be used in future semesters. Buyback is a triple-win situation where current students get cash from Kennedy's for selling their books which places in-demand textbooks back on our shelves and offers students money-saving used editions for future semesters. Buying and selling used books benefits everyone involved by cutting costs.
What determines which books are being bought back and how much cash you'll receive for them?
Give me some pricing examples.
If Kennedy Book Store needs your book to sell for a future semester:
If you bought your book new, we will pay up to 50%. If you bought it used, we will pay up to 67%, provided that it is in salable condition.
Example: If you bought a new book for $100, we will pay you up to $50. If it was used when you bought it and cost $75, we will pay up to $50.
If Kennedy Book Store doesn't need your book, but it has national demand:
For books not needed on our campus but having national demand, up to 35% of the new book price may be paid. These books are shipped to other universities across the country.
Example: If you bought a new book for $100, we will pay you up to $35.
Why should I sell my textbooks to Kennedy Book Store?
Kennedy's has always paid the most money for used textbooks. Recently, private companies and websites have gotten involved in buying back textbooks from students. These third-party and online buyers claim to give students more money back for their books, but that's not the case nor does it take into consideration that the payment is not instant, not cash (often times credit for future purchases), and that students may have to spend time and money shipping their books to the buyer. Know the specifics up front and don't take chances with your money: in terms of buyback payment and service, these third parties can't beat Kennedy Book Store.
Before you sell your books, understand all costs and benefits.
Buyback at KBS | Selling Books to Online Buyers | |
Cash Payment | X | |
On-the-spot payment | X | |
Guaranteed Funds | X | |
Buyer Takes Books Immediately | X | |
Packing and Mailing Hassle | X | |
Upfront Shipping Charges | X |
How do I maximize my buyback dollars?
First and foremost, sell back your textbooks as early as possible (preferable before or during final exams). The longer you wait to sell your books, the greater the chance that Kennedy Book Store will already have enough copies and not need yours.
To get the most for your books, make sure they have no:
If your books came as part of a package, or had specific components, be sure to bring:

281 jobs cut
GAME Australia lay-offs have begun and 60 stores have been closed with a total of 281 employees fired
The GAME's soap opera continues.
The lay-off in the Australian's arm of the videogame retailer has started and as for now, at least 60 stores have been shutdown.
This is 281 jobs cut where 264 of the cuts were from outlets, while 17 were made at the companys head office.
According to MCV Pacific:
NEWS SOURCE: First Job losses begin at game (via) MCV PacificPriceWaterhouseCoopers has confirmed to MCV that the first layoffs has begun at GAME today, with a source claiming more to come.
GAME Australia has lost 281 staff (of its over 500 employees) today, 264 from stores and 17 from its head office in Castle Hill, New South Wales.
A source close to the matter told MCV that there would be more big moves to come early to mid next week.
Kate Warwick, administrator for GAME at PwC, said: This is a difficult time for employees and closing the stores was not a decision we made easily. However it is not financially viable to continue to operate at this level at this time.
PwC has been in touch with the Federal Government Department that deals with General Employee Entitlements and Redundancy Scheme (GEERS) and will assist the employees with their applications.
GAME Australia entered administration last week, and the first meeting with creditors was held this Wednesday, where administrators PriceWaterhouseCoopers found several expressions of interest, but no firm buyers for the company.
Our thoughts are with those affected by the layoffs so far.
Our thanks to 'Kaos2K' for this news item!

"This would make for a creative, and visually arresting start to a Valentine's Day dinner menu. Most carpaccios are pounded very, very thin, but if you're using a really nice piece of beef tenderloin, why smash it so flat? Since it's naturally tender and buttery, I like it to keep a little bit of its texture, instead of being mashed too thin." - by Chef John
Adjust Servings
Original recipe yields 2 servings
- Lay half the beef slices in the shape of a heart in between two sheets of plastic wrap on a solid, level surface. Gently pound the beef with the smooth side of a meat mallet until about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer beef to a plate, maintaining the heart shape, and refrigerate. Repeat with the remaining slices to form a second heart.
- Whisk lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, cayenne pepper in a bowl.
- Combine arugula, 1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings, and capers in a bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice mixture over arugula mixture and toss to coat.
- Place half of the arugula mixture on top of beef. Drizzle lemon juice mixture over arugula and beef; season with salt and black pepper to taste and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings. Repeat with remaining heart.

This story came on TV at a pivotal time in my life, just before I learned to drive. Before I became involved with computers. Before my life went down the track that took me to where I am today. My life would have been so much different if I had went totally the way of the outdoorsman. Watching the episodes again after almost thirty years, I am openly weeping at the end theme of the show. Denice thought "Our Song" was "Psycho Killers" by the Talking Heads. I was gobsmacked when she could sing the Grizzly Adams theme. That really was "Our Song". I am having the loss, almost three years ago, come crashing in on me again. The one woman who really got me, understood me, torn from us so cruelly.
I just want to go into the wilderness. Hopefully forget the grief, and remember the joy.

Heirloom Seed Cache
The title is the search term you can use on ebay.
This link is the one I'm going to try.
I want a good strong corn crop.
So I'll look at the vendors other offerings.
I will have an e-book out with my gleanings gardening.
The popcorn is sprouting OK, the Deer Feed Corn must be what they call an F1 Hybrid.
It isn't showing a sprout, not even a bump! -update- It did about 50-60% germination.
Hickory King Corn is the heirloom variety I'm seeking.
Trucker's Favorite is one I'm being talked around to!

.25 Slander!
I may have blogged on this before. There is a trite old saying. "If you shoot someone with a .25, and he finds out, you're in trouble. Now I have carried on and off for thirty years. Several of those were with a .25. I switched to a .22, because in those bad old Clinton-y days, a box of .25 cost the same as a box of .45. I have shot the .25. It does harsh damage to wood, and it will penetrate a jello jiggler to a depth of 5 to 6 inches. More than adaquate enough.
There is a lot of snobbery on the internet regarding the .25. And in Real Life! I was regaled one night to an urban legend of a convenience store clerk that was shot in the head with a .25. The bullet traversed under the skin outside the skull and caused minimal damage. The Restaurant Manager regaled me with this tale, I don't know what his motivation was. I informed him that this was a single incident, not a trend. He couldn't even take action on a waitress over a single incident.
The only reason I started carrying 9mm was the fact that I got a nice Kel-Tec, smaller than the P-64 in Makarov caliber that it replaced. Reloading 9mm was cheaper than 9X18, and easier than .25. Of course now the reverse is true. Damn Obama anyway! With luck the prices will go down before I run through all my 9mm. If I really wanted to be mercenary, I could sell some of the Winchester White Box for current prices!
Sorry, just ruminating!

Corn status and pail opener!
Well back in November I tried to sprout some popcorn. I got it up to a foot tall. then someone left the kitchen door open and killed my plants. I am planning to sprout some feed corn, and see if it does ok. I like an ear of corn with my food in season. With the iffy situation regarding my house, I'll skip the 25 chickens. Pity, I'd love eggs with breakfast. Right now the tomato plants are the only thing coming along reliably. I'll do my level best to keep them alive, til it's time to plant them outdoors. They might have to come along on my road-trip to South Carolina. I don't see where I can do my food storage, when I have a bunch of freeloading roomies. I bring in enough foor to feed the whole house for four days. It's gone the next day. If a SHTF situation happens, I'm either putting them on the road, or turning them into dog food! No, scratch that. None of then would be fit to feed to the dogs. To restrain my more homicidal impulses, I decided to make a few pail opening tools.

7.62X25 Tokarev and Single Shot Virtuous Airs
Well I sort of gave up on Kel Tec making me a SUB 2000 Rifle in my treasured Tokarev caliber. I'm getting by with a sub caliber chamber adapter for the Mosin Nagant. I got my first one twenty years ago for $49.99 at the Big 5 Sports store! I wish I could get 5 or 10 adapters for cheap! Right now I am back in the single shot era!
It's not bad! You take your time, and make sure the shot is correct. There is a certain responsibility in making sure you hit with the first shot, when a follow-up shot will take you more than a half-second.

Prepper Properation
I'm getting an early start, and doing a progressive planting of 'the three sisters'. Corn, Beans, and Squashes.
I have Tomatoes and Peppers on other sides of the house.
I will probably see if I can drop in melons, and cucumbers...
The corn and bean seeds are harvested from feed corn, popcorn, and multi bean soup mixes. The peppers are from the pepper packets given out by the pizza parlors. I'm not big on peppers, but they are a good source of vitamin C, and they can be used in moderation to season almost everything. Tomatoes are good everyday food.
First is the corn, I got it in a paper towel, hopefully in 10 days of so, It'll be ready for planting. I have a grow light set in the basement ready for adding 3-4 hours on to each end of the day. When I get to 14-18 inches tall, I'll add in beans, then in two weeks I'll add in squash, pumpkins, melons!

Vote for me for President!
This will be my Inaugural Address,
'My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.
Since Congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.
This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq . This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.
Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.
The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.
Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.
THEN EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER It'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.
The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.
Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France ...
In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Mess with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.
Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China .
I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well.
I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.
A special note to our neighbors: Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not ticking us off for a change.
Mexico is also on List 2. Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment.
I will have a couple thousand extra tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to
put 'em? Yep, border security.
Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.
We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska -which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.
It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'
Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America .
It is time to eliminate homelessness
in America . To the nations on List 1,
a final thought. Thank you guys.
We owe you and we won't forget.
To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.
God bless America ...
Thank you and good night.'

I had the good fortune when I was 18 I studied architecture. I studied with Keith Critchlow and he kind of introduced us to the idea there was a civilization not so long ago that thought completely differently, that actually thought symbolically in which the meaning of things was not their tangible value but their symbolic energy that they held.
And we even think that everybody has always thought the way that we think and yet you only have to look at a culture like the Aboriginal culture in Australia that has a completely different quality of consciousness. I read recently that somebody was explaining who had studied their conscious to see that the whole of their way of life, their attitude to everything is how to return to the original moment when things come into being. Our life or our collective ideology may be to accumulate things or to achieve or to progress spiritually materially while the whole of their consciousness is completey different and their consciousness is about how can you take everything back? Can you always return to this original moment when life comes into being when all song lines are born. It is such a different consciousness that we cant even imagine it. Now I mean how many of us at the back of our mind are thinking what I am going to do tomorrow or what am I going to do the day after and what's going to happen next week and to realize that there is a consciousness in which that doesn't exist.
I am always fascinated by cultures that have that different consciousnes like the sea gypsies off the cost of Burma who don't have a word for time in their vocabulary, who dont have a word for hello or goodbye in their vocabulary and certainly dont have a word for worry in their vocabulary. People come, people go they just dont have that consciousness that is so central to us.
And that shows me there is a hope that we can actually have a completely different consciousness and what I was shown in this archetype is that it's waiting for us. It is present and it doesnt require effort …..and it's alot of fun. The other quality that came to me is that it is enourmous amount of fun and somehow we have stopped life being fun. We have stopped that magic of the extraordinary happening.
If one has a new consciousness then one will experience a completely diferent world. And as I said there seems to be a possibility at one time of a new consciousnes evolving out of this consciousness and now it seem that possibility has passed that there is gonna be like two stages at the same time and its like where do you put your attention are you prepared to welcome in this new quality of conscousness this new archetype which is tremendously alive but not in a way that we cna imagine because one of the sad things is that we cna only imagien things with images of the past. Our mind only perceie with the images of the past so its very difficult for us to welcome in something new.

I was one of the fortunate participants at the Evansville Coffeehouse Poetry Night, an annual event held on April 25, 2013. This event is a down-home mix of poets and readers and poetry appreciators–often all in the same person. Kevin Zepper touched the audience with his "Used Poem." The LRWN blog by writers about writing for writers seems to me an appropriate place to share this gem.
~Sonja Kosler, LRWN Vice-President
Used Poem
by Kevin Zepper
After many long miles, my poem finally gave out. What can you expect of a poem after fifteen years of hard driving? Not to say that I overworked the poem or anything. I didn't try to rod on it, peel out with it. I filled it with premium metaphors, never settling for less, changed the punctuation every couple of thousand miles. No different from the next poet.
It served me well, but its time had come. It took too long getting started in the morning. On several occasions this past winter I had to jump start it with cables attached to another poem. Sometimes the battery in the poem was so far gone I had to plug it into an anthology overnight just to get it to spark the next morning.
The poem also showed peculiarities that I couldn't just let slide any longer. Sometimes I'd just be cruising along, line after line, no problems, poem just purring away. Then it would start cutting out, right in the middle of a scan, cack, cack, cack, then purring again like nothing was ever wrong. But the rhythm was off. A belt was going bad. It was also burning more and more punctuation at an alarming rate. I'd have to add two quarts of metrics to the little manifold to insure a straight read through. Even then the poem blew clouds of blue smoke.
Guess the real trouble started about two years ago, after the accident. My poem got rear ended by a drunk guy with a rock song lyric. Yeah, he had a beater of lyric too: no insurance, nothing. Here I am with a poem all smashed to hell in the rear end, and a bent frame to boot. It took a Linguist and an English professor to pull out all the dents. They did the best they could with it. You know how it is with a poem wreck, though; once you've had an accident with your poem, it never reads the same again.
So here I am, reading through the used poetry section of the paper. I can't really afford to get a new one. You never know what kind of abuse a used poem has taken. Could have been rodded on, stripped down, or rolled, who knows? I just hope I find a sonnet owned by a little old blue-haired lady. Someone like that would really know how to take care of a poem, always reading it slow and only on Sundays, taking it for regular grammar and simile maintenance, putting in the right metaphors to keep the engine from punning. Whether I find a good used poem or not, it's always tough trading in a poem you've reliably read for so long.
