I wish I had a dollar for every time the home building industry has used the phrase "building the home of your dreams." As builders, sooner or later we all employ this phrase. We just can't seem to help ourselves.
But why?
If you think about it, getting a house plan that accommodates your needs is one thing, but designing a home that also includes your desires is something entirely different – and better! And with the price of a new home these days, who wants to settle for just covering their basic needs? If you're going to pay that much money, you might as well get the home that resides both in your head and your heart.
This is why we at Copperleaf Homes always partner with the very best architects we can find. These strategic alliances are with award-winning practitioners who are able to design homes for each individual buyer as well as the location of their build.
This is why we begin with a blank slate when approaching the design phase of our homes. We never sell from a pre-determined set of plans because no two buyers are alike – nor are the locations of their builds.

Established in 2006 by owner Dan Whirley, RemWhirl initially centered on real estate development, but soon services grew to include architectural design and eventually landscape design and interior design.
When we say that we're a "custom" builder that is exactly what we mean. We don't sell you a home; we serve you in designing and building one. Let's face it… if the home you choose has already been pre-designed regardless of the uniqueness of your life setting… aren't you really just building the home of someone else's dreams?
There's a better solution. Copperleaf Homes.

Surveying Vietnam
In recent years, scientists from around the world have turned to Vietnam in their search for new plant and animal species. Vietnam harbors an astonishing range of habitats, from rain forests and dry forests to mangroves and coral reefs. Scientific expeditions and surveys have discovered an amazing range of biodiversity. But even as this biodiversity is being revealed, it is coming under threat from development and human activity. Scientists now are racing to accomplish their studies in an effort to keep Vietnam's biological wealth from disappearing entirely.

Crime records go online in Sweden amid protests
STOCKHOLM (AP) — A website that lets Swedes check each other's criminal records has sparked a debate about the privacy of ex-convicts and their right to move on with their lives.
Such databases are available in the United States, but aren't common in Europe, where privacy protection laws are typically stricter.
By searching the Lexbase database, launched Monday by a Swedish company, users can instantly find out whether a person has been convicted of a crime in the past five years. A fee is required to get more information.
Lexbase has a map with dots showing where convicted criminals live and plans to offer a mobile app alerting users when they enter a neighborhood with a high proportion of residents with criminal records.
Though such records are public in Sweden, critics said making them so easily accessible could prompt vigilantism against people who have already served their sentences and make it harder for them to re-enter society.
Thomas Andersson, a spokesman for ECPAT, an organization that fights the sexual exploitation of children, said the service could lead to "increased social alienation" for offenders, increasing the risk of recidivism.
Lexbase spokesman Pontus Ljunggren said he believes the database will help create a more secure and transparent society.
"We believe the benefits far outweigh the potential damages, which we believe will be very small," he said.
Soren Oman, director of the Stockholm Center for Commercial Law, said the website cannot be held liable under Sweden's data protection laws because it has been granted a publishing license that gives it constitutional protection.
However, he said it could potentially be exposed to defamation lawsuits because vilifying information can be considered defamatory under Swedish law even if it's not untrue.

Waterford Architecture
As you walk around the village, you will see an astonishing variety of architectural styles. The earliest vernacular buildings (1700-1780), exemplified by some houses on Bond Street and by the Weaver's Cottage, were usually one and one-half stories with steeply pitched roofs; large, exterior, end chimneys; small window openings; and batten doors.
Those of the Georgian-Federal period (1780-1830) usually have two stories and are constructed of brick or stone. Facades are symmetrical with a central entrance. Windows are small-paned, often with operable shutters. Some have roof dormers and decorative features such as dentillations or detailed cornices. A well-designed example is the Bank House at the lower end of Main Street.
Row Houses
The Federal/Greek Revival row house style (1780-1840) exemplifies urban townhouse design. These houses have two or three stories with a gable roof. The first floors were often mercantile establishments with no interior access to the residence above.
In the Greek Revival row house, details may include doorways with rectangular transoms and deep classical cornices on doors or windows. An excellent example of the Queen Anne style (1880-1910) is the stucco house on Second Street, with its complex roof, vertical proportions, asymmetrical facade, and roof turret.
The Vernacular Victorian style (1860-1910), or five-bay house, is usually of frame, has two stories, and has simple Victorian features, such a one-story front porch that extends over most of the facade with an oculus or decorative windows in the bay.
The American Foursquare style (1900-1920) is identified by its hipped roof with a deep overhang, a dominant central dormer, and a full-width front porch. There are some fine examples of this style on Second Street.
Some late twentieth-century additions to the village are the Good House on Bond Street, an example of a "new old house," which exemplifies history-friendly construction, and two vernacular houses on Second Street, which harmonize well with their surroundings.

Medical malpractice occurs when there is negligence committed by a healthcare provider such as a doctor, nurse, hospital or physician assistant. To prove a claim for medical malpractice, you must establish that the medical provider breached an applicable standard of care that caused you to suffer damages.
According to the Institute of Medicine, medical errors kill at least 44,000 Americans each year and possibly as many as 98,000 people. This means that more Americans die from medical malpractice each year than from breast cancer, highway accidents, or airplane crashes. Yet, astoundingly, the IOM says the medical industry has done little to curb the problem and lags far behind other high-risk industries, such as the airline industry, in its attention to ensuring basic safety.
At Rikard & Protopapas, some of the different Medical Malpractice cases we handle include the following:
- Birth Injuries
- Failure to diagnose Injuries
- Hospital negligence
- Surgical Errors
- Anesthesiology Injuries
- Emergency Room Injuries
- Radiology Injuries or Negligence
- Radiologist errors
- Misdiagnoses
- Psychiatric malpractice
- Cerebral Palsy
- Brain Injuries
You deserve to have an attorney that understands the process, the litigation, and the seriousness of these issues affecting your life. If you believe that you or your family have a Medical Malpractice claim, please contact the team at Rikard & Protopapas, to have your case evaluated.

Searching for a charged Higgs boson and development of a hardware track trigger with the ATLAS experiment

This thesis describes searches for a heavy charged Higgs boson decaying into a top and bottom quark pair, and the development of a hardware track trigger with theATLAS experiment. The data for the two searches was collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) with pp collision energies of √s = 8 and 13 TeV, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 and 13.2 fb-1 respectively. The main background for this signal is the production of tt̄ pairs with additional heavy flavor radiation. The searches with a single lepton in the final state found no evidence of a charged Higgs boson, and set 95% CLS upper limits on the production times branching ratio for masses ranging between 200-1000 GeV. The preparation of using the final state with two leptons in future searches is discussed. The design of a hardware track trigger based on pattern matching and linear track fitting was studied for the purpose of reducing the high event rates of the High-Luminosity LHC, which is expected to provide pp collisions with a luminosity about five times the nominal value, in the second half of the 2020's. A simulation framework was developed to emulate the pattern matching and was used to test its ability to filter hits in high pile-up environments. The results of this simulation, together with simulations of the track fitting and latency, show that such a track trigger is a viable option for the ATLAS experiment in the High Luminosity-LHC era.

I didn't introduce myself to Victoria Williamson for the first two years we went to summer camp together. Tall, Lebanese, and beautiful, she carried the nickname "Sass". I, bubbly, cute, and child-like, frankly felt intimidated by her. Though she had friends, she seemed to have a cold, stony aura about her, and we stayed away from each other for the first six weeks we lived in the same vicinity. Finally, I decided to delve into what lay behind her attitude; I began talking to her over the school year and found that she was completely different than what I'd expected. In July of 2006, we reunited as if we had been best friends all our lives.
This was not the first or last time that happened. I used to be a firm believer in the fact that first impressions are everything. Sometimes, I wouldn't even judge someone based on a first meeting; I'd just assume that someone with a sour expression was a sour person. This theory has been disproved so many times, each instance making it clearer that it's not true.
As humans, we have good days and bad days, and that shows in our expression, posture, and body language. Sometimes, when I'm at my absolute worst, I think to myself, "I definitely wouldn't want to know me right now."
First impressions are crucial, but I know that it's up to me to decide whether to make assumptions or not. I need to keep and open mind. Someone may look like an unhappy person, but other thing may lie hidden beneath the surface. A new girl at school may look too stuck-up to talk to anyone on the first day, but maybe she just got her braces tightened. Maybe she's just shy.
We can miss out on learning so many things and meeting so many people by drawing conclusions based on what we see or hear one time. Let it be known that in order to really understand someone, we need to take a closer look. Everyone has something we can learn, but to get to it, we have to give them a chance.
Sass is one of the best friends I have ever had. I wasted too much time not knowing her just because of the way she appeared. Now, I only have one summer left with her. As we've known each other, this girl has taught me what true love and friendship are, but mostly that appearances can be deceiving. This I believe and always will.

If you ever sailed along the great river Irrawaddy, the largest and longest river in Myanmar, you would notice one thing. Life is almost as it was sixty years ago. Old wooden ships still run along the river as it was before the World War II. Workers carry rice sacks over their shoulders, loading and unloading ships docked at the piers. Naked children swim in the muddy river while their mothers bath on the river bank; the same thing that their mothers and grand mothers might have done a century ago. Meanwhile, their fathers row small boats, catching fish along the river. Life was no different from sixty years ago for them.
Irrawaddy, being the longest river in Myanmar, runs through the heart of the country. As most of Burma's ancient cities were built along the river, it was always the life line of the country for more than a thousand years. Although. with the development of modern land transportation, its importance has declined in recent years, Irrawaddy still plays an important role in modern Myanmar (Burma). Thousands of people, if not millions, still depend on the river for their living. Thousands of acres of farms use water from Irrawaddy for firming while people living in cities and towns along the river use its water for domestic use as well as for drinking. And it still plays a major role in transportation of goods among many cities and towns.
I have crossed Irrawaddy many times in a small boat. Every time I crossed, I was fascinated at the vastness and richness of the river. It gave me plenty of opportunity to observe life along the river. While I am writing this article, I believe somewhere along the river Irrawaddy, a child is swimming in the muddy river, completely unaware of the modern marvels that so many of us are enjoying. For those children, life is the same as it was in the time of their fathers, and their grand fathers.

Some stocks dipped this week. Some corrected. But three health-care stocks, in particular, were downright crushed.
This week's biggest loser also ranked among the worst-performing stocks from a couple of weeks ago. Momentum works going up -- and going down. Another stock took a beating the old-fashioned way by reporting disappointing earnings results. Our third horrendous health-care stock could be still feeling the heat from attacks by a couple of firms suspected of being linked to short-sellers.
Which three stocks got crushed this week so badly? Find out by watching the following slideshow.

Trudeau Institute Receives $230K for Tuberculosis Research
The Trudeau Institute has announced that it is the recipient of a $229,865 grant to support tuberculosis research from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Health Program.
Saranac Lake, New York (PRWEB) November 01, 2012
The Trudeau Institute has announced that it is the recipient of a $229,865 grant to support tuberculosis research from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Health Program. Trudeau faculty member Dr. Andrea Cooper was awarded the grant for her work using mouse models to develop an improved tuberculosis vaccine. The Gates Foundation is a major funding source for tuberculosis research, and its grants process is highly competitive.
Mice are used extensively in biomedical research because they are small, easy to handle and breed quickly. Extensive tools are also available to study the mouse response during disease, resulting in experiments that generate extensive information that is definitive, interpretable and extremely useful in the control of human disease.
Nonetheless, the translation of mouse studies into the human arena must be approached with great thought and care. In tuberculosis, many elements of the human disease have not been successfully modeled in the mouse. Importantly, the mouse fails to develop the same type of disease seen in humans. This had been presumed to be the result of basic biological differences between the two species. It is now known, however, that temperature stress can profoundly impact the response of mice.
The purpose of the Gates Foundation grant to the Trudeau Institute is to investigate the impact of reduced temperature stress on the development of tuberculosis in the mouse model. Under Cooper's supervision, mice will be housed at a temperature more closely resembling their natural preferences, and their immune response to infection with the tuberculosis bacterium will be followed.
Once mice are relieved of temperature stress, their immune response is expected to more closely parallel the human response, allowing Cooper and her team to better study tuberculosis for the purpose of developing an improved vaccine which can successfully prevent this devastating disease, which currently ranks as the eighth leading cause of death in the world. The Gates Foundation grant to Trudeau covers a 17-month period and is eligible for renewal.
About the Trudeau Institute
The Trudeau Institute is a nonprofit biomedical research center founded in 1884 by Dr. E.L. Trudeau. The Institute's fundamental research on immunity fosters the development of vaccines, treatments and cures for many life-threatening diseases, including cancer, tuberculosis and influenza. The Institute is supported by federal and state grants and contributions from individuals, private foundations and corporations.

How targeted is your traffic? Shaves are part of the game. If you have good traffic send it somewhere else. Generally, sale cpas I find to shave less because of phone verification. But like in the adult game, you can get 10,000 clicks before one sign up. Without shaves, things just harder nowadays IMO good luck.
why does it matter where the traffic is from as long as they are getting sales?
its not like a cpa lead offer where people submit information
I agree that they are shaving. We did some testing and it's pretty bad.
what testing?
No Elroy I was saying maybe the traffic is not converting. That is why I was asking but they probably shave all do.
That's why.
They're not shaving, you just have really bad targeting traffic. Twitter.
whats wrong with twitter?
i got one sale with a couple hundred clicks
now i have almost 5000 clicks and still no sales
Dude twitter is scattershot and mostly just bored surfers. News junkies and such.
You could literally print up flyers and head to local bars and make better conversions. In fact you should.
Lol, i mean don't expect much from twitter. like buddy boy said, twitter is jus scattershot. You can make some money, but don't expect a steady chart/graph.
It is like an old boss said, if you want to sell blood, find an accident, as cold as that sounds. My suggestion? Join a smoking cessation group. Then if you have time, sexaholics just for fun. Nothing like going to the source of it.
Most of your traffic is probably twitter-crawling bots. We see it happen all the time where someone has thousands of clicks due to bots crawling Twitter. We've blocked a lot of IPs to try and prevent it (showing as a click that is - they can still crawl through to the landing page) but I'm sure there's some we've missed. Please PM me.
I tested this CPA network and there the worse for shaving...
wait till the payday,you will get a nasty surprise,they pay only like 70% of the earnings they display.
i though this cpa company was awesome what happened?
Anyone else having bad experience with adscend media?
Stop trying to make excuses
If those are clicks on the offer its called scrubbing when that happens the cpanet *usually* is not the one to blame the ones scrubbing are usually the advertisers, its just part of the game. Researching the offers, the advertisers and becoming "friend" with your AM to know if something is up with a particular offer are also part of the game you need to use everything you got available to your advantage .

Have you ever seen those yogis who move with effortless grace? I'm amazed when I see a practice exuding softness, yielding and buoyancy. Even simple postures or sun salutations have a whole new depth to them when the postures breathe. Here are some subtle keys to bring your postures to life.
A living breathing asana allows the breath to move you into and out of alignment; guiding the body as a continuation of the natural patterns of breathing. You must remain soft enough to be affected, yet avoiding becoming stiff like a statue.
While these qualities develop with experience, it is accelerated if your practice has an equal focus on release to engaging. And fully allowing the breath to impact your movement, as opposed to employing it in a forced mechanical manner and moving underneath it.
Back to basics
Observing your natural breathing allows you to familiarise yourself with how it moves your body. I go into more details in Natural breathing. An under-explored goldmine.. The main takeaways are
- Observing natural breath. It is a process of letting go of effort and uncovering pre-existing patterns of tension.
- The most important thing is to allow the outer body to reflect the way the breath rises and falls.
- From a place of release we can employ breathing techniques. Rather than using technique to mask underlying inefficiencies.
During practice Ujjayi pranayama is the technique used. A smooth long audible breath. Some effort is needed to lengthen the breath but notice at the point you begin forcing and introduce unnecessary tension.
Don't forget the retractive breath
"The most important thing is to allow the breath to be reflected in your body."
Being in a posture can look like a one way street, as if the only way is forward and deepening. But what that ends up looking like is – Inhale: still. Exhale: Deepen. The secret is to allow the retractive phase of the breath to move you, align you and open those tight spots.
For instance if you were in a standing posture like Warrior 1, many students hold still on the inhale and retain tension as if it will compromise advancing the posture. Surrendering to the inhale on the other hand, brings alignment and gently eases you up out of the posture slightly diminishing the intensity. The following exhale then gradually takes you deeper. For a living breathing asana both the inhale and exhale are reflected in movement.
Letting your natural intelligence unfold
"Inquire and follow where your breath leads you. What is the breath asking my body to do now? What is my body asking my breath to do?" – Donna Farhi
Discover what happens most naturally in your body when you inhale or exhale. Generally opening, expanding and vertical movements are combined with an inhalation. While closing, folding and horizontal movements elicit the exhalation.
In vinyasa sequencing there are designated breathing and movement patterns that take this into account. However it's easy to slip into autopilot and go through the external motions rather than source internally. Listen inwardly to the subtle impulses of breath that guide you into action, react to the subtle adjustments or shifts in intensity necessary. Most of all connect to the sensitivity of your feeling body and go beyond the rules and explore for yourself.
The main idea is to create a rhythm in the breath and ride it gracefully throughout the practice. The sound becomes a mantra to set the mind in focus. The breath will be a guide to tell us the quality of our practice. David Swenson – Ashtanga Yoga. The practice manual.

JEREMY HOBSON: Well, the day's just getting started, but the cross-country winter storm is already causing major disruptions to air travel.
And as Marketplace's Scott Tong reports, this could be the worst month ever for cancellations.
SCOTT TONG: The worst month ever was last February, when 20,000 flights were canceled. But just two days into this February, we're already at 12,000. And 26 more days to go. Seth Kaplan with industry publication Airline Weekly, says this storm is so damaging because it's taken out key connection cities Chicago and Dallas.
SETH KAPLAN: Even if you're trying to go from one place that' s not affected to another place that's not affected, you might have a connection there.
He says airlines today would rather cancel fights than risk delays. Why? A brand new law penalizes airlines that strand passengers on the tarmac.
KAPLAN: It's just another reason to perhaps say, you know what, let's go ahead and proactively cancel it.
By the way, those penalties for stranding passengers are stiff. $27,000 per customer.
In Washington I'm Scott Tong for Marketplace.

Really? Do you have any proof of that? I have loaded and a couple hundred HBWC bullets backwards and shot them into mud, putty and water bottles and never had a single bullet fragment or seperate. They were not very accurate and more likely than not the skirt would mash flat and not expand at all. I would never depend on them for SD load.
In theory if you load a HBWC with too hot of a charge the base could seperate from the solid part of the bullet. Thats with the bullet loaded point first. I have loaded up to 4.5grs of bullseye to see if I could get it to seperate but it never happened.
Proof? I did it in 1982. the same old story was around even before the internet! So after I got out of the Army my dad and I decided to try it. Loaded up some Speer swaged lead HBWC backwards, looked mean.... At 25 yards for each shot fired there were 2 holes in the target, one was clearly the main part key-holing. Same results at 15 yards.
Thats all the "Proof" I have. It is the same as the "WC is the ultimate secret for SD" . this crap resurrects itself every few years. There are all kinds of gimmick rounds out there, me I want a bullets that goes where I want it to at any reasonable distance and penetrates deep - every-time. And no I am not going to produce a you-tube video, and I don't have any sworn depositions.
You want to load a round that is an urban legend into your gun to protect yourself when rounds with 2 to 3 times the energy have failed to stop attacks, have fun.

Olivia Pope Goes Grocery Shopping in 'Scandal' Parody [Video]
As we wait with baited breath the return of Scandal, there's a hilarious new parody surfacing the net. We can't quite imagine the infamous Ms. Pope tending to normal activities (like grocery shopping), but if it came down to running out for a carton of milk, this actress showed us exactly how it would go.
And it's pretty awesome–watch below.

A frail leader, hoping to stem the disintegration of his empire, orders his troops to crush insurgents in a mountainous Muslim republic. The world is appalled by the brutal suppression of a small nation. A Democratic US president, who has staked his reputation on constructive engagement with the Russians, is assailed by a Republican challenger for misjudging the evil nature of the Kremlin regime. Arms control and global security efforts are thrown into disarray. The cold war revives.
That was 20 years ago, after Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev sent his forces to invade Afghanistan. That led to ruptured relations between Moscow and the West. Dozens of countries boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics, and later that year Ronald Reagan, denouncing the USSR as an "evil empire," trounced the moderate Democrat Jimmy Carter for the US presidency.
But now, things are different. Just how different we may learn later today when President Boris Yeltsin confronts Western criticism of Russia's seven-week-old war against breakaway Chechnya at the Istanbul summit of the 54-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Analysts say the West's honeymoon with post-Soviet Russia was over anyway, and the stage may now be set for a return to the more traditional stance of mutual distrust and rivalry.
"There are very striking parallels with the situation in late 1979, when the Soviet attack on Afghanistan ended the period of dtente and threw our relations with the West into crisis," says Dimitri Trenin, an analyst with the Carnegie Endowment in Moscow. "A lot of things were going wrong with the US-Soviet relationship at that time, and Afghanistan was the last straw. The present war in Chechnya could be a similar kind of trigger."
Moscow's campaign to bring its separatist region of Chechnya to heel has sent an estimated 210,000 refugees fleeing for their lives and created mayhem in the tiny mountain republic. On Monday, OSCE foreign ministers accused Russia of using "disproportionate and indiscriminate" force against civilians there.
Western governments are asking Russia to open the region to international humanitarian agencies and invite the OSCE to mediate the conflict, as it did in the previous Russia-Chechnya war in 1996.
Some critics have even called for a complete cut-off of financial aid to Russia, as long as its Army is ravaging Chechnya. Leading Republican presidential contender George W. Bush says that "If the Russian government attacks innocent women and children in Chechnya, it cannot expect IMF [International Monetary Fund] funding ."
The other Republican front-runner, Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona, told the AP, "I would threaten to cut off IMF funding if there is not a peaceful settlement."
Human rights groups are calling on OSCE leaders to refuse to sign a new Security Charter for Europe, the Istanbul summit's centerpiece, until Russia proves it is abiding by international law in Chechnya. "The OSCE needs to make it clear that civilian suffering in Chechnya is already too great," says Holly Cartner, European director of Human Rights Watch, an independent monitoring group.
Moscow's troops have already occupied Gudermes, Chechnya's second-largest town, and are laying siege to the capital of Grozny. "Occupying the cities and most of the territory of Chechnya is a feasible military goal," says Alexander Goltz, military expert with the weekly Itogi newsmagazine. "But we will be faced with a guerrilla war in the mountains that will go on for years, just as Afghanistan did.
"Chechnya will be a source of friction in our relations with the West for a long time to come."
Analysts say that Yeltsin will not succumb to Western pressure, but will tear a page out of Brezhnev's book and meet criticism with defiance.
"Yeltsin is going personally to Istanbul to make the Russian case to the West," says Valery Fyodorov, an analyst with the independent Center for Social and Political Trends in Moscow. "Basically he will tell them to mind their own business and stop exaggerating Russia's actions in Chechnya. He will definitely not turn the other cheek."
Military action la NATO?
Russian officials say they are only doing in Chechnya what the Western military alliance NATO did in Yugoslavia earlier this year - using force to restore order to a lawless territory. In Istanbul, Yeltsin is bound to stress the links some Chechen warlords are alleged to have with well-known international terrorists such as Osama bin Laden. "We won't stop as long as a single terrorist remains on our territory," Yeltsin said Monday. "Western countries have no right to criticize us for exterminating bandits and murderers who cut off their victim's heads."
But in truth, relations between Moscow and Washington have been going downhill for some time. The Kremlin's commitment to building an open-market economy in Russia has been mocked by a series of high-level corruption scandals. Moscow's hopes of being accepted as an equal partner of the US have been dashed by the expansion of the Western military alliance NATO into the former Soviet bloc, and NATO's war against Russia's traditional ally Serbia last spring. And American determination to break out of the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, a cornerstone of arms control, is giving Russia the jitters.
"Maybe the Americans think Chechnya is the last straw, but for us it was NATO's attack on sovereign Yugoslavia," says Vladimir Baranovsky, deputy director of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations, a center that trains Russian diplomats and government experts. "After Yugoslavia, the Russian attitude toward Western criticism has changed radically. Now our main view is that we will not accept any diktat from the West."
Some military leaders have gone much further, accusing the West of stirring the pot in Russia's volatile North Caucasus in order to gain strategic advantages.
"The West's policy is a challenge to Russia with the aim of weakening its international positions and ousting it from strategically important regions," such as the oil-rich Caucasus, Russian Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev said recently.
Public support at home
Unlike the previous war with Chechnya, which killed an estimated 80,000 people and led to Russia's humiliating defeat, this campaign so far enjoys broad popular support. A survey of 1,600 Russians conducted by the independent Center for Public Opinion Research last week found 66 percent considered the war "successful" against 23 percent who felt it was not.
One reason for the public's approval is that the tightly managed Russian media have shown little of the devastation wreaked by the bombing of Chechnya, and given only cursory coverage to the plight of the war's masses of traumatized refugees.
But another reason people in the street are backing the Kremlin this time, ironically, is because the West has been so openly critical."Why does the West think it has a right to interfere in Russia?" says Sergei Mishenkov, an electrician here. "Do we tell them how to deal with crime in their own countries. It's just outrageous." When the USSR invaded Afghanistan, there was no street view in Moscow. Russians listened secretly to Western radio stations, and formed their opinions in silence. Boris Yeltsin will make much of that in Istanbul.
"We may be headed for a period of cooler relations," Mr. Trenin says. "But let's not forget that Russia is not the USSR.... No new cold war is imminent. Russia is just an ordinary country trying to muddle through a mass of internal problems."

text: Hello BHW members. It's been several months that I've been reading forum threads here and tried some of them that seems suited for me to do wherein I am able to implement but without luck with monetizing Most autoblogs as far as I've been reading threads are done using Wordpress. Now, as a Joomla User (not developer) I've been finding ways to implement some AutoBlogging concepts from WordPress into Joomla. Now I've started one and hope any of you could suggest a better one. joomla 1.5.13 thru fantastico joomla templates thru Artisteer (got it here!) components for feed fetching: - RSS2Content - YOS Feed2Articles components for SEO and SEF - sh404SEF - SEF Service Map and Extension component for posting COMMENT - JomComment component for backup - JoomlaPack AD - Google Adsense module by Joomlaspan These components really does autoblogging in joomla like feed fetching intro and full articles, images, categorizing, frontpage publishing, cron, etc. It's just a matter of configuring it the right way. Although i'm not sure that it does article rewrites. My question is, does any of you here knows a feed fetching component that does article-rewrite? (posting some replies would be greatly acknowledged...) Suggestion for better components for a working autoblogging similar to WP-O-Matic as well. I'm still on the process of testing this concept for joomla. and hopefully if i'll have good results, i'll be sharing my testimonies as well. You may want to try it yourself also.

"A Test for Asymmetry with Leptokurtic Financial Data"

Abstract :
Most of the tests for asymmetry are developed under the null hypothesis of normal distribution. As is well known, many financial data exhibits fat tail, and commonly used tests (such as the standard root-b1 test based on sample skewness) are not valid for leptokurtic financial data. Also, the root-b1 test uses the third moment, which may not be robust in the presence of gross outliers. In this paper, we propose a simple parametric test for symmetry based on the Pearson type IV family of distributions, which take account of leptokurtosis explicitly. Our test is based on a function that bounded over the real line, and we expect it to be more well behaved than the test based on sample skewness (third moment). Results from our Monte Carlo study reveal that the suggested test performs quite well in finite samples, and it is robust to excess kurtosis. We also apply the test to stock return data to illustrate its usefulness.

WESTPORT, Conn. -- Stacy Orseck doesn't mind if you refer to her as the "Queen Bee." That's because the Wesport resident is the founder of The Bee and The Baker, a bakery that cooks up products free of gluten, dairy, soy, corn and processed sugar.
Orseck, a holistic health coach, said that she would often discuss healthier lifestyles with clients and realized that there was a gap at the time in baked goods that she would eat or recommend.
"I was very focused on eliminating foods that cause inflammation," she told Daily Voice. "For each person it could be completely different foods, but there are several that kept popping up over and over again, namely soy, corn, wheat, dairy, sugar. So in trying to avoid those for myself and my family I realized there was nothing good to grab on the go."
Being a "bit of a foodie," and "very picky or discriminating depending on how you look at it," she started doing her own experimenting by using the healthiest whole food flours such as coconut or almond flour. She also stays away from gums and preservatives.
The fact that her husband had certain dietary constraints due to Crohn's disease made her mission that much more important. She even found that gluten-free options typically contained preservatives and various starches or gum additives.
And so, armed with a head full of ideas, she began baking all natural breads, cookies and cupcakes largely with locally sourced ingredients and free from processed chemicals. That was nearly four years ago.
Prodded by friends and family to widen her findings and share her delicious baked goods with a wider audience, she created The Bee & The Baker in 2016.
Among her popular sellers: Carrot, apple raisin muffins, chocolate dipped macaroons and peanut oat chocolate chunk cookies. Orseck said she's constantly working on new things. That meant gluten free pies over the holidays and a new grain free granola. She also has quiche, whoopie pies and doughnuts just out of the testing phase that she hopes to bring out soon.
For now, you can find her goods at six local stores, including Westport's Organic Market and Double L, Harbor Harvest in Norwalk, UCBC in Darien and Trumbull, and the Ridgefield's Farmers Market Co-Op as well as at the winter Westport Farmers Market, where she's a rotating vendor. The mom of two said she'd love to get onto the dessert menus of local restaurants since it's rare to find a dessert option that's gluten-, dairy- and processed sugar-free and still yummy. She'd also love to expand her store base.
In the meantime, you can find her baking away at a rented space in a dedicated gluten free commercial kitchen in Westport. Click here for more information.

I have finally emerged from my work bunker to write a few lines about something I have listening to. First off, let's quickly recap some of the stuff that I've listened to over the last few weeks:
Tokyo Police Club-Champ
The Gaslight Anthem-American Slang
Against Me!-White Crosses
Stars-The Five Ghosts
The School of Seven Bells-Disconnect from Desire
A quick word on what I found surprising. I really enjoyed both the School of Seven Bells and Stars records. The funny thing is they are both in the "Electronic" genre, which is something that I normally don't get into. But the songs are well crafted and have good melodies. Check out "Wasted Daylight" on the Stars record and "Dust Devil" on the School of Seven Bells.
Now, onto the main event. In the world of Indie Rock, there aren't too many names that are bigger than Arcade Fire. For those that haven't heard their album Funeral, I'm sorry. Go pick that up as soon as possible. After you've digested that, pick up their new album The Suburbs. It's rare for me to listen to one album multiple times in one day, but I think I've listened to this about 10 times over the past 2 days.
The album starts out with the title track "The Suburbs." It sounds unassuming with a gentle piano rift that has a backyard BBQ feel to it. As a fan of backyard BBQ's, I am all for this. The loose, joyful sound quickly deteriorates into "Ready To Start." Win Butler croons about businessmen drinking his blood and wanting to be alone. A fairly stark contrast to singing about learning to drive in the Suburbs.
The funny thing about this record is that in a sense it is smaller that the previous two albums. "Funeral" dealt with big questions. Life, death and heartache. "Neon Bible" was more spiritual dealing with religion and a whole bunch of things I didn't understand. "The Suburbs" is more focused. It deals with the trapped feeling of being in the suburbs and the trapped feelings that some feel in the suburbs (I am a suburbs liver and do not feel this way).
One of the things I like about this album is there are phrases that reappear throughout the album. "Grab your mothers keys/We're leaving" appears in the title track. Then in "Suburban War" we hear this, "So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight." I don't know why, but I love this stuff. I don't think enough artists incorporate running themes or characters.
"Suburban War" is an interesting song because it comes smack in the middle of the album. And at first listen, it sounds like the album is coming to a close. However, the next song, "Month of May," is a clear start to Act II of the album. If you are scoring at home, I would say Act I represents the feeling of a need to escape the daily routine of The Suburbs. "Month of May" sounds like, to me anyway, the escape. Over the course of Act II though, I am reminded of Red from "Shawshank Redemption." These guys just don't know how to exist outside of the Suburbs.
This all comes to a head in "The Sprawl." This two-part epic chronicles the return to The Suburbs (Took a drive into the sprawl/To find the house where we used to stay in). Part I has a defeated feel to it. Sort of like when you realized your parents were right all along and now you have to own up to it. Part II is less morose in texture, until you listen to the lyrics (They heard me singing and they told me to stop/Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock). The song continues to chronicle feeling trapped between shopping malls (Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains/And there's no end in sight). Clearly they have returned.
We end our journey back where we started, in "The Suburbs-continued." Decidedly more sad and less hopeful than the first track of the album, Win Butler is remembering the suburbs in a far more painful way than in the first track. He sounds like he's home, but not happy about it.
Well talk about a Sprawl! I wrote way too much on this and broke one my rules: don't try to interpret an album. Oh well, it's good fun. And everyone who reads this should buy "The Suburbs" and put it on repeat for at least 2 weeks straight. Happy listening.

Being raised in the Shenandoah Valley by a family of artists and craftsmen taught me that ending the day with dirt under your nails is the only way to truly live. I left the valley chasing my oldest dream: to make beautiful things. Three years of classical training in design, illustration, and painting led to an internship in Broadcast Design. For 7 years and counting, 40+ television stations and an exceptional team of designers have trained me on the ins and out of animation, typography, and client relations.
So now I illustrate, animate, paint, cook, carve and craft - and in all fairness i'll probably pick up 3 new hobbies tomorrow. Branding small businesses has been the ideal way to merge technical skills with my love of organics. The projects I take on for freelance are often partially handmade, for the client who wants to be involved - to find themselves within their brand. Logos are just beginning of an adventure to show the world who you are and what you can become.
Some people spend their entire lives in search of the perfect job. One that combines the skills they've spent a lifetime collecting into an 8 hour a day worth looking back on and be proud of. I will be forever grateful that I never had to search.


text: I was thinking of getting into ringtones, cakeslice a page and whatnot. With these offers its usually enter your number, then recieve a pin number in a text and enter it on the next page. In the text thats sent to them with the pin it tells them that they will be charged. Is there anyway to hide the fact that they will be getting charged? Id love to hear from people with experience in this field.

Once again testing the audience's willingness to follow Bones all over prime time, Fox follows up its non-surprise eighth-season renewal by moving the enjoyable romantic/forensic procedural to yet another night: Mondays at 8/7c, in front of the soon-to-depart House. Resuming after a nearly three-month hiatus, Bones' return is a big deal for fans and a blessed event for Bones and Booth, who welcome their baby daughter amid the sort of preposterous only-on-TV circumstances that might prompt Lucy Ricardo to declare the whole thing a little bit wacky.
We pick up with the expectant couple debating whether to deliver the baby in a hospital (Booth's rational choice) or at home "where I can control things" (Bones' stubborn preference, as she takes great and comical pains to point out the lurking germ residue in your modern medical establishment). But first, there's a case to solve, and the ick factor is considerable as the way this week's victim surfaces is the stuff of any child's toilet-training nightmare. The grisly trail leads to a prison — a salve for those missing Alcatraz? — where the mystery lies not only in whodunit but how in the world did they dispose of it.
As is often the case, resolving the case is secondary to the dynamics between Bones (Emily Deschanel), who's about to pop, and Booth (David Boreanaz), who's apoplectic over her insistence to put herself in the center of the action, even if it means wading into the middle of gen pop and inciting a prison riot. "You're not Superwoman," he tells her. She begs to differ. And while the birth sequence is, to put it mildly, labored, it provides a sweet and silly showcase to welcome the show back.

EQUAL WRITES: Their books are legendary, the movie adaptations iconic. But the two Pulitzer-winning Southern woman writers profiled in back-to-back American Masters documentaries on PBS — Margaret Mitchell: American Rebel and Harper Lee: Hey, Boo (check local listings) — remain enigmas, their reputations resting on a single masterpiece each: Gone With the Wind and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Rebel is a sketchier bio, using re-enactments to tell the story of a willful Atlanta maverick ahead of her time, whose Civil War epic has come under fire for romanticizing slavery. As a student at Smith College in Massachusetts, this rebel debutante is said to have refused studying with a black person in the same class, but later in life, she became a philanthropist who helped educate black dentists and doctors, and fund a hospital for African-Americans. "I wasn't cut out to be a celebrity. I don't like worth a damn," Mitchell once said, sounding a bit like Rhett Butler.
The Harper Lee bio is more artful and heartfelt, with testimonials by writers and media stars including Oprah Winfrey and Tom Brokaw, who read movingly from the Mockingbird text as the novel's impact on the civil-rights movement is explored. Like Mitchell, Lee struggled with the spotlight of fame and hasn't granted an interview since 1964. But her wit, warmth and integrity shine through — she may not live in the public eye, but she's far from a recluse — and as we listen to middle-school students from the North and South continue to discuss the book with passion, we're reminded of great literature's enduring appeal.
NIGHTS OF DAY: In celebration of her birthday this week, Turner Classic Movies salutes the legendary Doris Day with a weeklong tribute of movies to coincide with Tuesday's release of a new 2-CD collection compiled by Day herself. TCM's salute gets off to a relatively kitschy start tonight (8/7c) with such '50s relics as Lullaby of Broadway and By the Light of the Silvery Moon but continues all week, with some of her classic '60s comedies on Tuesday (Lover Come Back, That Touch of Mink, Move Over, Darlinglove me ) and ending on Friday with her landmark performance as torch singer Ruth Etting in Love Me Or Leave Me.
CHANNEL SURFING: Kansas plays Kentucky in the NCAA men's basketball championship game (CBS, 9/8c). ... Sick of watching the same old SpongeBob SquarePants episodes over and over? For the next two weeks, Nickelodeon is airing new episodes at 5/4c, paired with new episodes of Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness at 5:30/4:30c. In today's episode, the exasperated Squidward issues Bob a restraining order. We'll see how long that lasts. ... 'Shipper alert (as if the birth of Bones' baby isn't enough to satisfy you): Following last week's developments on ABC's Castle (10:01/9:01c), when Castle pulled away from Beckett thinking she'd been playing him for a fool, Beckett's BFF Lanie urges her to make her feelings known before it's too late. In the meantime, a handsome Scotland Yard detective arrives to work a case with them. Consolation prize? ... While NBC's The Voice (8/7c) moves into the live performance phase — elimination results are Tuesday — Dancing With the Stars (8/7c) allows the 11 "stars" still standing to perform in any style they choose, with a routine reflecting a memorable year in his or her life. ... On Smash (NBC, 10/9c), it looks like the snit is about to hit the fan, when Julia's husband learns about all that backstage hanky-panky. Maybe he'll take it out on Ellis.

Mr Hollis, who was drafted in to help earlier this month, added that the swift action by the courts over the looting and violence raised questions over why cases usually take so long.
His comments came as magistrates rejected accusations from the leader of Britain's prison governors that there has been a ''feeding frenzy'' in sentencing after the recent riots.
Writing in the Yorkshire Post, Mr Hollis said: ''We witnessed an unusual but very welcome degree of co-operation and support from our partners in the criminal justice system.
''We really did see rapid and robust justice with offenders being arrested, charged, put before the courts and sentenced in days.
''This undoubtedly contributed to taking the momentum out of the disorder - but for the police and public it did raise the question as to why cases take so long to get to court in the normal course of events.''
He also questioned ''why imprisonment is not used more effectively at an early stage for those who make the lives of the law-abiding a misery on a more routine basis''.
But Eoin McLennan-Murray, president of the Prison Governors Association (PGA), claimed over the weekend that magistrates had lost all sense of proportion.
''It's like when you've got sharks and there's blood in the water and it's a feeding frenzy,'' he told The Independent on Sunday.
''There's a sentencing frenzy and we seem to have lost all sight of proportionality.
''It's appealing to the populist mentality, and that's not the best basis on which to sentence people. The norms of sentencing are being ignored.''
But Magistrates' Association chairman John Thornhill said the claims were ''unreasonable and unfounded'', adding that it was ''just not the case'' that normal sentencing was being ignored.
