In the silage quality, the process of fermentation and use of micro-organism as starter cultures are crucial. The present study investigated the effect of homo and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria as a starter culture strain on the silage quality and its aerobic stability using meta-analysis. Total 19 studies were used in the analysis. According to the strains of lactic acid bacteria used, experimental groups were assigned to heterofermentative (HEL), mixture of hetero and homofermentative (HHO), homofermentative (HOL) and various homofermentative (HOM). In each experimental group, standardized result of the treatment (with inoculant) was compared with the control (without inoculant) using risk ratio calculation method. The effect of experimental group was also compared. Different starter culture strains did not influence on silage pH and propionic acid production. However, lactic acid and acetic acid production were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by the start culture strains. HOM showed the greatest lactic acid production and HEL was the lowest. In contrast, HEL showed the greatest in acetic acid production and HOM and HOL were the lowest. In terms of ammonia nitrogen, HHO produced more (p<0.05) than the rest of the treatment. In crude protein and water soluble carbohydrate contents, there were no significant effects among treatments. Different strain of lactic acid bacteria significantly influenced on the effect of aerobic stability (p<0.05). Use of heterofermentative showed greater aerobic stability and the use of homofermentative lactic acid bacteria.

Is it too late to talk about summer? We have blue skies still, and on the days when I put on a jumper I end up smelling like a teenager's trainer because it's still to warm to wear wool. But the air is cool in the morning. The leaves are falling from the trees. And last night, when I crawled into bed, the sheets made me shiver.
But according to the PR who asked if I'd like a bottle of spirits from the Waitrose Ltd collection (sure!) summer doesn't officially end till the 23rd September. So there's still time for one more barbecue. One more trip to the sea.
And crucially, there's still time for one more blogpost about summer cocktails. Because that's why I was sent a bottle of booze. So, with the speed and timing that makes me ever so popular with PRs, let me tell you about my summer cocktail.
I was allowed to pick any bottle of Waitrose spirits I liked. Gin would have been the obvious choice. Or whisky, because I do like to splash about in Scotland's smoky waters. But the time of mincemeat making and Christmas cake baking is nearly upon us, so I asked for cognac. A spirit I associate with warm firesides, long nights and Father Christmas. I'll admit it took me a few days contemplation (drinking) to work out how I could cast cognac as the taste of summer.
Blackberries seemed like a good place to start. The cognac arrived at the end of August, and blackberries are always summer's last hurrah. They're best friends with apples, as my mum's blackberry and apple pies used to prove. And both of them like ginger. Which meant I was looking at shaking up something that was a bit like a bramble, with a touch of Moscow mule. But with cognac.
A few rounds with the cocktail shaker brought me to the Orchard Ramble, so named because ramble sounds like bramble and apples come from orchards and, well, you probably get the etymology. It falls under the heading of 'troublingly easy to drink' and also 'troublingly easy to get drunk on', depending on how much ginger ale you can fit into the glass. I imagine a tray of them being carried into the garden on a Sunday lunchtime as a pre-roast sharpener. The warmth of the sun, the chill in the air and the sense that, once again, the seasons are on the turn.
Orchard Ramble
Serves 1
6 blackberries
2 shots of cognac
1 shot of apple juice
1/2 shot of lime juice
1/2 shot of stock syrup
A dash of Angostura bitters
Ginger beer, to top up
Put the blackberries in a tall glass and muddle them – give them a bit of a crushing with a pestle or the end of a rolling pin (or a muddler, obviously).
Smash up some ice (a handful of ice wrapped up in a tea towel and given a sound beating with a rolling pin works for me). Fill the blackberry glass with crushed ice.
Measure the cognac, apple juice, lime juice and stock syrup into a cocktail shaker. Add a couple of dashes of bitters and a few ice cubes. Screw on the lid and gently shake it all together.
Strain the cocktail into the glass and top up with ginger ale.
If you're in the mood for more summer cocktails Waitrose Cellar has a collection of recipes here.

One bright winter morning in early 1979, New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung staff photographer David Hughes came rushing into the office looking like he'd seen a ghost.
Actually, he had seen something much worse, in his mind.
"Whatever you do, don't go see 'Alien!,' " he told anyone within earshot.
Like lots of folks, he was traumatized by the signature scene from director Ridley Scott's horror classic — when the alien exits John Hurt's body through his chest during dinner. Talk about spoiling your appetite. David left the theater at that point.
He wanted to write a column warning folks away from the movie, but editor George Runge managed to talk him down.
Today's debut of "Prometheus," the sort-of "Alien" prequel, brought that memory rushing back. It was at least in part because of David's visceral reaction that I stayed away from the movie for a long time. I think I've finally seen the entire movie — including the money shot — but in bits and pieces (no pun intended) on TV.
I can't imagine what it must have been like on the big screen. I'm guessing lots of folks reacted the way David did. "Alien" is one of those influential movies that spawned a horde of imitators, and that scene was maybe the most shocking thing '70s moviegoers had ever seen. Well maybe that, "Jaws" and "The Exorcist." It reminded me of Roger Ebert's description of "Psycho," about which he noted, "No other Hitchcock film had greater impact … it was the most shocking film its original audience members had ever seen."
Critics have been kinder to "Alien" than David was. It has a 97 Tomatometer rating. It's one of Ebert's Great Movies. He praised it as sort of the anti-"Star Wars" (which had come out two years earlier) in that it focused on workers trying to complete a mission and get paid, not space jockeys with rayguns.
"Prometheus," of course, has "Alien" DNA even if it's not a prequel per se. But here's something curious — after all the marketing campaign had done to distance it from its "Alien" origins, a TV ad I saw last night made the connection explicit. Guess the studio wants to have its alien and be eaten by it, too.

text: Well as the title suggests i want to purge, but what you ask? Well when the time comes maybe my 28TBs worth of data. Now i know all about the software side of it with programs that do this (which i also have) including but not limited to: Active@ killdisk, DBAN etc. Now they're good and all but ultimately they're flawed in the sense of time . I bought another 2TB WD 64MB cache HDD a while back and little did i know the HDD was faulty but before acting up it decided to hide it's true state. So i started pouring in data and then i found out it was faulty to which i needed to mail it back to get a replacement. Now i wasn't going to do that with just a format or anything i ran Active@ Killdisk and choose to do a US DoD kill. Now this has 7 passes and i put a custom 95% verification at the end instead of the usual 30%. OMFG this took like 5 days the passes alone only because i left my pc on all day everyday. How long would if of taken if i did another kill method such as gutmann? (this is not where i based my name from) It has 35 passes, that's maybe 5 times longer or even more! Now let me paint you a image. I have some 2TB hdds and also some 1TB (a few WD my passport ones i got for portability) and a few lower capacity ones (old portable ones that i disassembled and mounted to my big hdd only case) all connected to my main pc all the time apart from the portable ones. There i am happily fapping to my pr0nz and then much to my amazement i get v&, i may have a max of 15 seconds before they're in my room. What do i do then? Ask them to come back in a couple of months when all my data has been purged . You may been thinking wow what a loser/ cool dude, with his 28TBs of pr0nz. That's not the main data i store, you can go ahead and think that it is but i don't really care . What i need is some sort of device/ tool that fucks up my hdds real fast and please don't say a mircowave though that does work i don't want to have to unscrew all my hdds and run downstairs to my gaint sized microwave that i don't have to purge my data. I also don't want power tools, i want to keep the hdd looking intact until you try to use it or the purge just f**** data so the hdd is fine and reusable I don't know how a hard drive works fully but i know the basics (platters, a head etc.) but would a magnet work? Maybe only one kind of magnet? Because there are different kinds of magnets out there. Now these are all your standard 3.5" hdds but i wouldn't need a method to do this if they increased usb capacities which is at the moment at 256gb and it costs like $600 . When/ if SDXC supports it's full capacity of 2TB or even if it doesn't 1TB is fine i can have portability, purgability and loads of expandability to play with though i might have to wait a really long time for that to happen (i'll happily pay the money if it does come out expensive) so for now i need a solution to my problem not a day dream into what my come in the future. All and Any suggestions appreciated apart from the ones listed above. Thanks (sorry for the wall of text).

His new volume of poetry is filled with images of the past and present--from a Middle Passage slave ship diagram to a black figure with a target on his chest--creating a powerful and mature overview of the black experience. Craft's poems take the reader from the death of the author's own father to a meeting with a homeless woman in a Waffle House, and his dream encounter with the spirit/essence of John Coltrane is told with especially graceful expressiveness.
Like Boogie on Tuesday, by Linda Dominique Grosvenor (Sepia Books, 438 pp., $15)
Re-released by Sepia Books, a BET Publications imprint, Like Boogie on Tuesday examines the lives of four characters as they deal with infidelity, self-doubt--and sexually transmitted disease. Romance novel enthusiasts are sure to enjoy Durham writer Linda Dominique Grosvenor's tale of a tumultuous quest for love and fulfillment along with a liberal dose of alcoholism, sex, religion, and emotionally abusive men. Will Nina ever meet a good man? Can Tim commit to one woman? Will antibiotics or Zovirax solve everyone's problems once and for all? Sounds steamy, but if you want to read truly erotic literature, look elsewhere.

The Local Government International Bureau wishes
to draw Members' attention to the report produced by the European
Convention's working group on social Europe.
In particular, we welcome the group's efforts
to clarify the so-called open method of co-ordination by designating
the actors and their respective roles. We are pleased to note
the reference to Member State consultations with stakeholders
including local and regional government (section IV, paragraph
However, we regret that this statement concentrates
on consultation during the implementation phase. Whilst local
authorities do have a considerable role to play in the implementation
of social policy, we urge Members to also recognise the importance
of consultation during the formulation of policy. This will ensure
that EU policy recommendations are effective and practicable,
and that any obstacles to efficient implementation can be identified
at an early stage by those actually responsible at the point of
delivery. For the same reason, these authorities should be involved
in the evaluation process. We have every confidence that the pan-European
representative associations of local government (eg CEMR/CCRE)
can act as effective interlocutors in this consultative process
as part of a systematic dialogue with the EU institutions.
We hope that Members will be able to reflect
on this point during discussions with Peter Hain MP on 12 March
Cllr Ken Bodfish
Chair, Local Government International Bureau

Life :: Slowing Down
Eckhart Tolle wrote that there are no problems, just situations. "A situation needs to be dealt with or accepted. Why make it into a problem? Should a situation arise that you need to deal with now, your action will be clear and incisive if it arises out of present-moment awareness. As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease."
Presently, I am happy. I'm wearing my favorite sweatpants, snuggled under a blanket in bed, with a full belly and a roof over my head. But, like everyone else, I have situations. And one of them is the carpal tunnel that I've been struggling with since November 2013. Well, in actuality, it began in November 2012. However, after wearing a brace every night for a week, it floated away and I forgot anything even happened. It returned one year later, with a numbness in my fingers and sharp pains up my right arm that makes any basic function -- brushing teeth, washing dishes, eating, driving, typing, working -- difficult. The hurting goes from slightly uncomfortable one day to completely unbearable the next, and back and forth and so on. As soon as I think I'm better, I'm not, and the struggle continues.
Being right-handed and a writer, it would be easy to feel like I am experiencing a nightmare come true, but I'm determined to hold out hope that by seeing a multitude of doctors every week -- physical, occupational, orthopedic, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture -- I'll eventually be done with this condition forever. As someone who despises anything having to do with hospitals, I've refrained from even questioning whether or not I'll have to have surgery, and every day when I wake up I say, "this is the day God will heal me."
I hate any type of attention when I'm sick, even if questions are asked out of innocent curiosity or genuine concern, so I've attempted to hide my braces and medications, and when I do have to talk about it I keep the conversation short. The last thing I want is for anyone to feel sorry for me or to think that I want people to feel sorry for me. I'm still able to walk, talk, hear and see and breathe; I know that things could be worse.
At the same time, there is a jealous anger inside of me that I have to force down constantly when a part of me isn't working and I feel handicapped. I start thinking about my arm, and why doesn't so-and-so have to deal with this? And then I start thinking about other areas of my life, and I start wishing those could change too -- even material things, superficial things that I just want and don't even need -- a real bed instead of an air mattress, a new phone instead of an old Samsung, a nicer car instead of my 2007 Pontiac, a thinner laptop instead of my 2011 Toshiba, a bigger butt and smoother hair and clearer skin. When I let a slice of that darkness out, it starts with one negative thought and spirals down until life simply seems like it sucks.
It's easy to be happy when everything's going right. But when one little thing goes wrong, it's easy to let it take over and cast a shadow over our thoughts. I had to stop for gas today on my way home from an appointment in Beverly Hills, and all of my cards were declining, and all I had was $2 in my wallet. Embarrassed but out of options, I headed inside to buy half a gallon of gas -- which, thank God, was just enough. In front of me in line was a pretty, thin blonde girl who looked younger than me and had two little boys with her. I saw them hop into a Lexus SUV and I bet you already know everything I was thinking. Here I was, 26 years old and broke with tendonitis. I couldn't help but spend at least thirty seconds comparing myself to this young, pretty girl with money and a family. My second thought was, I hope she's just their nanny, and then my third thought was that even if she is, she's probably making more than me.
Of course, it didn't take long for me to snap out of my pity party, forgive myself for being immature and ungrateful, and remind myself of the fact that all of my healthcare was being paid for by work. I'm so thankful for that. I'm thankful for everything -- this cozy house that I'm sharing with three 20-something boys, this fancy air mattress that can fold into a couch with cupholders, this bulky ol' laptop that freezes up sometimes but still allows me to blog, the Galaxy S3 that fell into a toilet but still works, the amazing man who fixed said phone, my Pontiac G6 that goes faster than anything else I've driven, my growing Polish ass, my Italian wrinkle-free skin, my big messy hair. I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
That's why I've decided that PRESENT is my word for 2014.
When I live in the present moment, instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, I realize how truly blessed I am. That's when I'm most happy and most productive. Instead of focusing on the end result, I am choosing to focus on what I can do right now. Because each little moment adds up, creating both your past and your future. Why not experience all of it fully? I don't want to miss anything.
I think I realized this back in October after visiting Charisma, a talented photographer and one of my dearest friends. I was on the plane ride home from Orlando to Los Angeles, and I was reading Joel Osteen and listening to Drake. "Don't think about it too much. There's no need for us to rush it through. My uncle used to have all these things on his bucket list; now he's acting like, oh well, this is life I guess. No, fuck that shit. Listen man, you can still do what you wanna do, you gotta trust that shit. I heard once that in dire times when you need a sign, that's when they appear." I listened to that song on repeat, over and over, and in my seat in the darkness I cried and cried.
I got home and the next morning I felt compelled to take photos outside my apartment by the garden my neighbors tended to. I walked out with my phone and out of nowhere, a hummingbird appeared. It hovered near a tall yellow flower for at least a full minute while I clicked and clicked, breathless. Then, as if it recognized me, its eyes met mine. And then it was gone.
I wouldn't have thought that was as crazy as I do except that a week later I saw another one, in another place where I was completely alone, and once again it looked at me as if it knew something I didn't.
And I think it did. Because even though a hummingbird never quits moving its wings, somehow, it still has time to stop and smell the roses. I just hadn't figured out how to do that yet myself.

Is innovation science, art, or a combination of both?
New Zealand has a proud history of innovation and invention. We've led the world in patent applications per capita and our distance from other countries has often meant that we have to either make do, or go without.
Whether you believe in the 'number eight wire" mentality, or think that it is the stuff of myth and legend, there's no escaping the reality that our collective achievement is due to outstanding creative, inquisitive individuals. On World Intellectual Property Day, we're celebrating some of New Zealand's best.
Norma McCulloch – one of New Zealand's most accomplished inventors, enjoyed international commercial success. Her inventions ranged from a vacuum pump to take the air out of freezer bags, to a portable resuscitator for which she was named as one of the world's top 10 women innovators, a modular ensuite bathroom and a concrete tubing system help reduce river bank erosion and flooding. She put her mind to solving problems and aside from inventing her creative outlets included painting and writing children's books.
Perhaps New Zealand's most un-heralded innovator is pharmacist and veterinarian Colin Murdoch. Despite international accolades Murdoch is not well known at home. His inventions included the tranquiliser gun, the child-proof medicine container and the disposable hypodermic syringe. Modern medicine would be unimaginable without the use of one-time syringes. It was Murdoch who recognised that cross infection rates could be eliminated by using disposable syringes. Sadly, despite the widespread use of his inventions, Murdoch never got rich. An altruist to the end, he preferred not to sue for patent violation.
Inspired by aviation pioneer Richard Pearse, motor racing legend Bruce McLaren, Bill Hamilton of Hamilton Jet Boat fame and world record holding motorcyclist Burt Munro, it's no wonder that John Britten made his mark in designing super fast, super light, motorcycles that were ahead of their time. A qualified mechanical engineer, Britten's early career involved mould and pattern design, metal spinning and mechanical engineering designs, all of which would serve him well in the Britten Motorcycle Company. The time Britten spent working as a fine artist it also evident in the Britten motorcycles, which are as beautiful as they are fast.
But is innovation science, or art? I would argue that it is both. Science plays an important role in innovation, and the Prime Minister's chief science advisor Sir Peter Gluckman recently noted that many of the most innovative new ideas emerged from early stage research.
As Gluckman says – "without the capacity to enquire we will impede the amount of innovation that can emerge. Simply put, successful patents are based on non-obviousness and novelty".
Perhaps most fundamental to the innovation process is imagination. As Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."
So let's embrace our creativity, our inquisitiveness and our ability to imagine. Who knows where it might take us?

Dress for Sun Success This Summer
As an everyday barrier between the sun and your skin, clothing can absorb or reflect much of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It is the simplest, and often the most effective, form of sun protection. But some clothes are more protective than others. Here, we present The Skin Cancer Foundation's guide to maximizing this protection during the summer as well as all year long.
The Basics
You probably already own many garments that provide good sun protection. For effective UV protection,
• choose clothes in bright or dark colors, like red or black. They absorb more UV radiation than white or pastel shades.
• look for synthetic fibers (such as polyester), which offer more protection than materials like refined and bleached cottons or crepe.
• on cooler days, go for tightly woven or closely knitted fabrics, like denim, and denser fabrics, like heavyweight flannel, which let in less UV light than thinner materials.
Ultraviolet Protection Factor
Many manufacturers identify their sun-protective garments with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) label. This indicates what fraction of the sun's UV rays can penetrate the fabric. A shirt with a UPF of 50, for example, lets just 1/50th of the sun's UVR reach the skin, compared to an everyday white cotton T-shirt, which has a UPF of only about 5. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends clothing with a UPF of 30+.
Cover Up
Dressing for sun safety is also about how much skin you cover; long-sleeved shirts, and long pants and dresses simply provide more protection than T-shirts, shorts, and minis. Luckily, many sportswear manufacturers offer fashionable, seasonal high-UPF staples such as cargo shorts, polo shirts, and dresses designed to keep you cool, dry, and sun-safe.
If summer brings you to the beach, wear high-UPF swimwear in styles that cover more skin, like one-piece suits and long trunks. Rash guards and swim shirts, athletic shirts made of elastic materials like nylon and spandex, are also good choices. Out of the water, loose- fitting tunics and sarongs help shield the arms and legs; scarves and wraps can cover the neck, upper chest, and shoulder area.

Expand/Contract Questions and Answers
Driving under the Influence offenses, primarily alcohol, have reached record proportions in the State of California. Over the past few years, the number of offenders has cycled up and down, but once again are on the rise for 2003. This is a major safety issue for all citizens in our county and one that must be addressed in an assertive manner.
Over a period years, MADD {Mothers against Drunk Driving}, the California Legislature as well as the court system, have joined forces to enact and enforce strict laws regarding DUI drivers. This has resulted in a number of innovations, among which is the DUI Checkpoint. In essence, drivers are directed into a specified area during which they are contacted by an officer. They are asked for a drivers license, along with inquires to see if they have been drinking that evening. During contact, drivers are often handed information sheets or ribbons as an educational tool to reinforce the negative consequences of drunk driving. Representatives from many organizations are often present at these checkpoints, including MADD, outside law enforcement agencies as well as the news media.
Fortunately, many drivers do not drink and drive and the contact is a positive one. If a driver is found to have been drinking, they are directed to a Secondary Area where they are tested. If arrested, their license is taken from them and the car impounded. The license, being property of Department of Motor Vehicles, is returned to DMV along with an attached notice. A temporary 'Admin Per Se' driving form is issued to the driver, which allows driving and appeal rights for 30 days. Thereafter, the license is automatically suspended per DMV.
Questions regarding the law on Driving Under the Influence, and your obligations regarding those offenses, can be found beginning with 23152{a} of the California Vehicle Code {VC} thru 23249.50 VC.
If you have any other questions regarding DUI Checkpoints, please contact the Traffic Division at {619} 441-1632 and every attempt will be made to assist you.
Parking enforcement is a major task for the Traffic Division and can be overwhelming in the sheer number of violators. The reason a particular vehicle is cited and another by-passed can be due to a number of factors. These include: Number of complaints on a selected vehicle, limitation of time on behalf of the citing officer, previous markings by an officer on a particular problem vehicle, vehicles selected by priority in terms of the seriousness of the violation and finally, the officer was called away prior to completing all of the tasks on that specific street.
Additional information can be found on the back of the Parking Ticket.
The most common reason a vehicle is impounded for 30 days is a Driver's License violation. This is explained via Sections 22651{a} thru {t} of the California Vehicle Code {VC}, as well as 22651.3 thru 22658 VC. This book is available at your local library. Additional sections to assist you are 14601{a} thru 14610 VC, which explain common license violations as well as impounds for those offenses.
Additional reasons for 30 day impounds include Reckless Driving or Drag Racing. These offenses begin at 23103 VC and beyond.
Examples of a 24 Hour Impounds are: Expired registration tags over {6} months, select parking violations, expired drivers license over {30} days, as well as drivers arrested for a criminal offense while in possession of the vehicle.
Examples of 30 Day Impounds are: Suspended or Revoked drivers license with prior offenses, engaging in a Speed Contest {Drag Racing}, no Driver's License issued with prior contacts for same offense {Never had a driver's license issued during lifetime} as well as vehicles impounded as evidence during a criminal investigation {Hit & Run, for example}.
There are many other reasons for impounding a vehicle, but these are among the most common. If you have questions, it is always best to ask the officer at the time of impound as to the reason for the seizure. You are also welcome to call the El Cajon Traffic Division at {619} 441-1632 for more information.
Motorcycle Officers normally specialize in traffic enforcement via radar as well as target specific problem areas of the city where collisions occur. Their ability to maneuver easily makes them ideal for this purpose. They also work special events, where space and rapid response is critical. Examples of this are the San Diego Stadium or various parade events.
A Traffic Officer assigned to a car also works traffic enforcement, but spends the majority of his time as an investigator of collisions. Such officers also work Hit & Run collisions, as well as more serious accident scenes.

The 2003 Energy Efficiency Integration Awards (EEIA) Winners
For their integration of energy efficiency with outstanding architectural design, five nonresidential projects have received awards as the culmination of the 2003 Savings By Design Energy Efficiency Integration Awards Competition. The winning design teams received their awards at the National AIA Convention in San Diego on May 8. The announcement was made jointly by the competition's co-sponsors: The American Institute of Architects, California Council, Pacific Gas and Electric, San Diego Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, and Southern California Gas Company.
"The winning projects in this year's competition struck a common chord with the jurors," commented Charles Angyal, FAIA, manager of commercial new construction energy efficiency programs at San Diego Gas & Electric. "Each project demonstrated a masterful integration of energy efficiency strategies and techniques into a simple, elegant design that was respectful of its surroundings. This year's winners exemplify the momentum for energy efficient design fostered through the Savings By Design program."
The jurors chose two projects for Awards of Honor, citing their seamless integration of energy efficiency into elegant building design. They bestowed Awards of Merit to two more projects for expertly incorporating energy efficiency into challenging situations (school retrofit/infill and large-scale office complex). Finally, they awarded one Special Citation to a classroom that served as an outstanding pedagogical expression of energy efficient and sustainable design.

|Although mindless evaluations typically accompany social comparisons, they are not necessary, and may be costly. We describe how mindlessness enters the social comparison process at two points. First, during the social comparison both self and other are mindlessly de-contextualized, through (1) biased selection of relevant behaviors, (2) biased selection of criteria along which behaviors are compared, (3) lack of knowledge of intent behind behavior, (4) lack of knowledge about representativeness of behavior, (5) lack of knowledge about typicality of future behavior as moderated by learning, (6) improper understanding of the meaning of behavior, and (7) lack of knowledge about motivations generating the comparisons. Second, the affective results of the social comparison are often mindlessly generalized to the global self, while the breadth and complexity of the network of attributes that constitute to the 'self' is ignored. Global-self-evaluative social comparisons forfeit the potential of gaining accurate and usable information about personal attributes.

LOWER BURRELL (KDKA) — It is a solemn weekend in Westmoreland County as family, friends, community members and police from across the area are remembering an officer killed in the line of duty.
Lower Burrell Police Officer Derek Kotecki was shot and killed Wednesday night outside of the Dairy Queen on Greensburg Road. He was an 18-year veteran of the force.
Visitation began Saturday at the Rusiewicz Funeral Home and mourners came from across the area to say goodbye to the fallen officer.
With its lights flashing and its front end draped in with a black ribbon, the police vehicle Officer Kotecki operated every day stood outside the funeral home as a solemn symbol of his service.
The outpouring of support from the community has been overwhelming. Leechburg Road was packed with vehicles Saturday evening and the parking lot was filled with mourners.
"The whole community's really putting forth efforts to help," said Asst. Chief George Sabulsky, of the Lower Burrell Volunteer Fire Department. "It's a sad situation for everybody because Derek was a very good person, a very good officer."
Entire agencies and teams gathered together, including Lower Burrell's football program, which dedicated its latest victory to their fallen officer.
"We also have a police officer on our coaching staff," said Kevin Horwatt, Lower Burrell's football coach. "He's an officer of New Kensington and he worked with Derek Kotecki with the K-9 unit, so this really hits home for us."
Police from dozens of municipalities across the region arrived in cruisers and in uniform. Politicians talked to grieving families about the town's incredible loss.
"We've never had anything like this in Lower Burrell before and it strikes home, it's very personal to me and it's personal to everybody in this community and to see the outpouring of support everywhere you go is just amazing," Rep. Jason Altmire said. "We're not going to forget the sacrifice that he made."
Visitation hours for Officer Kotecki are scheduled for Sunday as well, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and then also from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
A funeral mass will be held Monday morning at 11 a.m. at Mount Saint Peter's Catholic Church in New Kensington.

Comments about Adegbite Adeyinka
Undying Love
The Son who errs,
His father will not hold
If sin, such love, deters
Love of man is sold
Can, stool, the mind forgive
Smeared on a dish of meal and give?
My love be bought by what I see
But loving all, I seldom do
You bore the cross and paid the fee
For we, ungrateful 'who'
Albeit, the robes of our sin
For us, the scourge tore your skin.
Made us a worthy nation
In death
You burn the cloak, condemnation,
And doctor our spirit, health.
I shall speak of this undying love
Of the Father up above.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
My best friend and I had a pact.
We were going to be adults, as soon as we possibly could. So when I was 13, I covered my hair with gel until I no longer looked like I was 13 anymore. I put on light purple eyeshadow and light pink lipstick and a tight skimpy dress that certainly no 13-year-old would wear. Something wasn't right so I tousled my hair until it was covering my face, and I put on a black turtleneck over the tight dress and white leggings. Layers. That was the key to looking older.
I walked into the local liquor store behind the 7-11. My heart was beating a thousand beats per minute, and I looked around at all of the bottles as if I was well versed in the options, pausing authoritatively at the various choices around me. Bourbons and vodkas and tequilas. A lot of beer, some wine coolers. Yes. Wine coolers. That's what I wanted. That's what a lady drank.
I opened the refrigerated case, sucked in my breath and carried the case to the register. The old man staring down at me looked amused and annoyed.
"How old are you?" he asked.
I thought quick. I didn't have the guts to go for the gold and say 21 so I came up with what I thought an adequate number to purchase booze would be if, say, you looked cute enough to convince the liquor store guy to let you do it just this once.
They didn't really expect you to wait until you were 21 did they? Fifteen must be the code, and how clever I was to know it.
"Come back in six years," he said and pulled the wine coolers closer to him.
I left there defeated, but even more determined to get my hands on alcohol. So that night when my best friend came over for one of our countless sleepovers at my place, we strategized. Babysitting gigs. That was the ticket.
That weekend I babysit for the kids up the street. When they finally went to bed, I grabbed an empty mini shampoo bottle, raided the liquor cabinet and dumped as much Kahlua as I could fit into it. I called my best friend and asked her to meet me at my house. We drank the Pert-flavored liqueur and traded turns taking sips.
"I feel it," I said, wincing on the taste of soap. "Do you feel it?"
"I definitely feel it," she said. Total, we shared about one shot of Kahlua cut with a heavy amount of Pert.
When I finally did turn 21, I never drank Kahlua again.
Please tell me: What's your first drinking story? I hope it's less sudsy than mine.

Lord Somber, an artist in his own right, sends an article by Pat Archbold on the "death of pretty".
We're not a society of brilliant peacocks and dull peahens, we're not a society where the men sartorially strut their stuff and the women hide away in burqas with pillarbox slits for their eyes, we're a society where the male plays the aesthetic straight man to the exquisite woman.
Woman is the arbiter of style and she defines style for any decade but she's far more than that in society. She plays so many roles.
Quietly, without fanfare, she goes about being everything – this arbiter of style, the conscience of the nation, the upholder of its moral compass, the mother, housewife, lover, friend, the home administrator, voice of reason, voice of compassion. Woman is vastly more important than many men give her credit for and I, for one, do not see her as the weaker sex. The woman, operating properly, runs the society and as the post on infidelity showed, when she ceases to fulfil her role, unpleasant and destructive consequences follow.
When she attempts to be the man and do the things men do, she loses much of herself. When the worst aspects of Woman run the society, instead of the best, e.g. compassion turned to PCism, then we get what we have today – a mess and an open invitation for the state to come in and take over. When the best aspects of Woman quietly run the society as they should, regulate the nooky, praise when appropriate, manipulate positively, when men and women work together – then the society prospers and grows.
'Pretty' is certainly about women and girls but it's also about art, architecture, even city planning and it has been destroyed in so many ways from everything from PoMo to porn. It can be sheeted home to the Frankfurt monsters quite unquestionably and the results are a Sharkeyesque dystopia [Lord of the Rings] and sheer Eminesque ugliness [ar Trace].
Pat Archbold:
This post is intended as a lament of sorts, a lament for something in the culture that is dying and may never been seen again. Pretty, pretty is dying.
People will define pretty differently. For the purposes of this piece, I define pretty as a mutually enriching balanced combination of beauty and projected innocence. Once upon a time, women wanted to project an innocence. I am not idealizing another age and I have no illusions about the virtues of our grandparents, concupiscence being what it is. But some things were different back then.
First and foremost, many beautiful women, whatever the state of their souls, still wished to project a public innocence and virtue. And that combination of beauty and innocence is what I define as pretty. By nature, generally when men see this combination in women it brings out their better qualities, their best in fact. That special combination of beauty and innocence, the pretty inspires men to protect and defend it.
Young women today do not seem to aspire to pretty, they prefer to be regarded as hot. Hotness is something altogether different. When women want to be hot instead of pretty, they must view themselves in a certain way and consequently men view them differently as well. As I said, pretty inspires men's nobler instincts to protect and defend. Pretty is cherished. Hotness, on the other hand, is a commodity. Its value is temporary and must be used. It is a consumable that consumes as it is consumed but brings no warmth. Nowhere is this pretty deficit more obvious than in our "stars," the people we elevate as the "ideal."
It is ironic that 40 years of women's liberation has succeeded only in turning women into a commodity. Something to be used up and thrown out. Of course men play a role in this as well, but women should know better and they once did.
You get the general idea. Now, I don't wish to see women return to a mythical state of Lillian Gish ingenue-ity, nor would I condemn women to live in a Mills and Boonish world of Italian stallions and Mr. Darcys.
Yesterday, I was unfortunate enough to suffer a Mills and Boon attack, i.e. someone put a revolving rack of Mills and Boons and other such like beside the till and so, in the spare moments, I looked at the titles and some of the blurbs. I wrote them down and quoted some to the ladies, just to see how they'd react. Whatever you think of M&B, there's obviously a market for it, so what do you make of:
# Reforming the Rake
# Rake beyond Redemption [LOL].
# Forbidden Lady
# Adventurous Bride
# Virgin Slave – Barbarian King [for how long a virgin?]
# Billionaire Boss's Innocent Bride
# His Poor Little Rich Girl
# Rescued by the Brooding Tycoon
# The Prince's Virgin Wife
# Revealed – his Secret Child
# The Forbidden Innocent
# One Illicit Night
# The Conqueror's Lady
# Stranger in my Bed
# Forbidden Pleasure
# Surrender to Seduction
# The Seduction Game
# Her Moment in the Spotlight
# A Treacherous Seduction
# In Bed with a Stranger
# Lover by Deception
# Showdown with the Sheriff [bit different to Liberty Vallance]
Just who writes this stuff – is it women or men?
The one which really took the biscuit and had me in stitches was Stranded, Seduced and Pregnant, from which I handwrote the blurb on a bit of paper [annotated in lighter grey]:
From Pure to Pregnant!
Lovely Neve Macleod's life [redheaded Scot – significant?] is shrouded by scandal. The tabloids delight in branding her a scarlet widow but in reality, her marriage was for convenience. [Oh, that's OK then, it's fine to act the tart if your marriage was rubbish in your eyes.] She's still a virgin [WTF!] and a caring stepmother – but no one wants to hear the truth. [Supposedly they all call her skank.]
That is, until she finds herself stranded and snowbound with brooding tycoon [LOL – the two motifs] Severo Constanza [the three motifs] – her unlikely saviour. As the magnificent Italian [I BS you not – that's what was written] comes to her rescue, he knows nothing of her salacious past [as a part-time virgin, presumably] – just that she's pure at present.
Yep, I think I get it. She wants to be laid, in public, by seven or eight strong hunks, preferably onstage, with everyone admiring her beauty but at the same time, she's actually virginal and pure, in the best societal tradition. She wants to go animal on her multiple lovers, the number of which shall never be told but also wishes to be respected as a lady and for her mind.
She wants it all, even the contradictions.
Surely there has to be some sort of happy medium where men take a step back to a certain chivalry and women take a step back to a certain inscrutability. Therein lies the true empowerment of both, rather than in this faux, state-enforced abomination we have today.
We need a return to elegant and pretty in all things, from art to fashion and women need to rediscover style while men need to rediscover panache. Nowhere is this so obviously lost than in the very way the modern person walks and talks. It was blindingly obvious in Downton Abbey and similar where the women were dressed up as ladies but just the way they moved gave them away – a product of our age.
In the promo pic for The Artist, there was one darkhaired actress who stood with poise and style, one other who was loud, in-your-face and boorish, supposedly a male trait – she would call it "having character" – and another older lady who didn't stand with much deportment at all.
Deliver us from this age we've inflicted on ourselves.

How Similar Is Off the Map to Grey's Anatomy?
Pretty similar!
Off the Map, ABC's latest soapy doctor show, premieres tonight. Executive producer Shonda Rhimes has sworn up and down that the new show is not Grey's Anatomy in the jungle, but have no fear! Off the Map is totally Grey's in the jungle (or, if you prefer, Doctors Without Shirts). Consider the similarities.
