Where Can I Find Cheap Carpet Cleaners in Sacramento, CA?
The debate on dry carpet cleaning vs. carpet steam cleaning (or steam extraction cleaning) continues to rage on among carpet cleaning professionals and consumers alike. Questions about cleaning capability, drying time and water usage are just some of the issues surrounding this debate. Let's take a look at these two methods and see if we can't help clear up some confusion.
Dry carpet cleaning is not a single process but a collection of different products and techniques for cleaning carpets with a minimum use of water. They can be grouped into two basic categories as described below.
Absorbent dry compounds are the 'driest' way to clean carpets. These compounds, containing detergents or solvents, are sprinkled on the carpet. After 30 minutes of dwell time (carpet cleaning talk for 'let the chemicals do their stuff'), these compounds dissolve the oily film on carpet fibers thereby allowing them to be vacuumed out along with the compounds themselves. There is no water used so drying times are not an issue. This method is popular with commercial establishments with high traffic areas that need to be cleaned and dried quickly. They produce satisfactory results but eventually a deeper cleaning will be required.
Very low moisture (VLM) carpet cleaning is the other category. This method, in general, uses some type of absorbent material (each company seems to have their own unique product) that is combined with a small amount of water. The wetted material is then spread over the carpet and usually agitated into the carpet with a machine. The dirt and oils in the carpet are attached to this material (a process called encapsulation) which then dries on its own. It's then vacuumed up and the carpets are dry in 1-2 hours. Some of these companies advertise heavily as 'green' due to the organic nature of their products.
The most common concern with both these methods is the amount of cleaning residue left on the carpet. It all sounds good in theory but customer reviews are mixed. One comment likened it to washing your hair by sprinkling on a cleaning shampoo and just combing it out.
Carpet steam cleaning has been around for years and is still the 'king of the hill' for deep, penetrating carpet cleaning. The combination of hot water and cleaning agents forced into the carpet under pressure then immediately vacuumed out is hard to beat.
New advances in the way truck mounts mix the chemicals with the water and deliver it to the wand tip have improved overall efficiency while reducing the amount of chemicals needed. Also, wand design and the use of glides, in addition to powerful vacuums, helps get most of the water out of the carpet. This helps eliminate the problem of excess wetting and improves drying times.
The choice for which carpet cleaning method to provide is not an easy one. Customers are more demanding that ever and the array of products and equipment keeps getting bigger. You may have to offer both to satisfy the needs of all your customers. Either way, it's a good idea to learn about all the various methods so you can make the right decision for your business.
Commercial Carpet Cleaning
If you have ever had to deal with a tough carpet stain or carpet that just will not come clean, than learning a few time tested rug and carpet cleaning techniques may be your next step. There most certainly are occasions where a professional cleaning may be in order, but often a more economical option is available. The first tip for carpet stain removal is to treat the stain as quickly as possible. This may or may not involve trying to remove the stain. Sometimes it is best to allow substances to completely dry before treating. Dirt tracked in from the outside, for instance, is often most readily removed by vacuuming the area once the dirt is dry. Blotting the area with a damp cloth can then take care of any smaller particles left in the carpet fibers.
When treating wet stains, time really is of the essence. Many substances, like wine or spills containing dye, can quickly discolor a carpet. Most carpets have been treated for at least some level of stain resistance, but most often water dissolution is the first and best option when dealing with stains. Dissolving the liquid from the spill followed by gentle blotting to remove any excess is usually a good first step. Always try to work the stain from the outside toward the center using a blotting motion as opposed to rubbing or scrubbing. A harsh carpet cleaning can potentially damage the fibers and result in the need for costly repair or replacement.
If water alone does not remove the stain, try a small amount of a mild dish washing liquid. The solution should be gently worked into the fibers followed by rinsing the area with warm water. Remember to rinse and dry completely. Soap residue will invariably attract and trap dirt making the stained area even more noticeable. Once rinsed thoroughly, blot the area with a clean towel or dry cloth. For stubborn stains, a solution of 2 tbs. of ammonia to 1 cup of warm water will often break down the elements causing the discoloration. Once applied, diluted vinegar can be used to neutralize the ammonia. If these household remedies do not adequately deal with the stain, than a commercial stain removal product should be applied. Use caution however, as these products when used incorrectly can sometimes discolor or permanently damage carpet fibers. It is usually a good idea to test a carpetcleaningproduct in a less noticeable area before pouring or spraying a cleaner directly on the stain.
Sometimes the best solution is simply to call your local carpet cleaner. Steam cleaning or hot water extraction is the method most commonly used by professional carpet cleaners. If you currently need help finding one in your area, there is a link to a detailed directory listed below.

It wasn't a terribly busy trade deadline day for the Maple Leafs, but they did manage to make a move just before the 3 p.m. cutoff.
Toronto sent defenceman Frank Corrado to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forward Eric Fehr, defenceman Steven Oleksy and a 2017 fourth-round pick.
Corrado played in two games with the Leafs this season.He cleared waivers on Feb. 4 and has since played with the Toronto Marlies.
Corrado spent most of his time in Toronto as a healthy scratch and vented about his lack of playing time in an exclusive interview with The Athletic in December.
Pittsburgh is sending back veteran forward Fehr, who is in the second year of a three-year contract with the Penguins. He carries an annual cap hit of $2-million per season.
Fehr was placed on waivers on Tuesday, but went unclaimed. He has six goals and five assists in 52 games with the Penguins this season.
Because Fehr has another year remaining on his deal, the Leafs can expose him to the Vegas Golden Knights in the upcoming NHL expansion draft.
Meanwhile, Oleksy has played 11 games with the Penguins this season, recording one assist. He has spent most of this season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League.
The 31-year-old Oleksy is a right-handed defenceman who could be thrust into duty should the Leafs run into injury trouble.
"The both of them will add something to the young players we have in this lineup," said Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello. "We're very pleased about it."
Toronto went into Wednesday's deadline sitting in the second wild-card position with a 28-21-13 record and 69 points.
"The most important thing right now is just staying the course," Lamoriello said. "I think what we've done is give our younger players an opportunity to be around some younger players to be around some people that have some experience."
Earlier in the day, the Leafs sent forward Nikita Soshnikov down to the Marlies. The move ensures Soshnikov will be eligible to play for the Marlies in the AHL playoffs, should the team advance.
Soshnikov has four goals and three assists in 41 games this season with the Leafs. He was averaging slightly more than 10 minutes per game, mainly playing on the team's fourth line.
This move comes after the Leafs acquired veteran centre Brian Boyle from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Byron Froese and second-round draft choice two days ago.
"Lou thought that our group had earned a right for us to help them," Leafs coach Mike Babcock told reporters on Tuesday.
The trade to get Boyle could have been much larger as Renaud Lavoie of RDS reported that Lightning forward Valtteri Filppula was asked to waive his no-trade clause to be traded to the Maple Leafs.
Valtteri Filppula rejected a trade to Toronto this week. Part of a bigger trade with Brian Boyle. #tvasports
— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) March 1, 2017
Lamoriello declined to comment on the report.

Data computing centers consume enormous amounts of power. An average commercial-sized data center draws around 1 megawatt (MW) of electricity during normal operations. In New York state, data centers account for 3 percent of all electricity consumed, and demand in the sector is expected to double over the next five years. Now, a group of academics, businesses and government organizations are coming together to make this high-energy-demand technology more energy efficient and cost-effective than current methods.
New York's Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has partnered with Clarkson University, Advanced Micro Devices, HP and other private businesses to demonstrate how a network of wind- and solar-powered data centers could create a new model for data center and renewable energy operations. Total investment in this project is close to $675,000.
The urgency of reducing energy use at data centers was brought home to Facebook last year, when environmentalists targeted the social-media giant for building a plant in central Oregon served by a utility that gets most of its power from burning coal. Facebook, however, maintains its Prineville, Ore., facility is "the most efficient data center in the world" because of cooling innovations and software that reduces demand for servers by 50 percent.
In New York, researchers are going in a different direction , experimenting with the concept of managing data through a network of servers powered by clean energy, such as wind turbines or solar systems. Backers envision the creation of a clean-energy-driven Performance Optimized Data Center (POD) system that could be available on a large scale to serve any potential customer – colleges, hospitals, corporations or any entity that requires data processing.
The distributed – or "cloud computing" – network is key to this project. For example, sites could be installed at wind turbine sites in Albany and Buffalo. If the wind is blowing in Buffalo, processing would be routed there. If Albany is generating more power, the processing would be routed there. Sending data over fiber-optic networks is far more energy efficient than moving power over transmission lines, even if the data is in another part of the country. And the distance would be invisible to the computer user doing the data processing.

Wow…where to start? What an amazing year we are having at Tails of the Hunt. Right now we are still seeing mature bucks chasing during daylight hours and it makes driving around scouting each night a blast.
After clients have tagged out in MO or IA and they go driving around with us to scout and it is fun to watch grown guys come completely unglued looking through the Nikon binoculars at a true Iowa giant. We have seen some world class bucks – bucks you only see in magazines. We are so spoiled to live in a place where are 150s class buck is just a good buck and coming around every corner you never know what you are going to see. For all of you that have never hunted the Midwest, you are really missing out on something special.
I would like to congratulate Jeff Danker from Major League Bowhunter for killing Lucky, a 180+ inch typical. Great job Jeff!

A Miami doctor said he has found evidence linking repeated exposure to mosquito-borne illnesses to the development of AIDS among residents of Belle Glade and other poor areas of South Florida.
``We have evidence that exposure to insects is a risk (factor) for AIDS in tropical areas,`` Dr. Mark Whiteside of the Institute for Tropical Medicine said Tuesday.
Whiteside, who along with colleague Dr. Carolyn MacLeod brought international attention to the high incidence of AIDS in the rural town of Belle Glade, is studying possible environmental causes of the deadly disease.
``No one has proven AIDS is transmitted by mosquitoes,`` he said. ``But it has to be looked at. Belle Glade cries out for a look at environmental factors.``
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome is caused by a virus that disables the body`s immune system, leaving its victim prey to many infections.
Most researchers believe the AIDS virus is spread primarily through intimate sexual contact and contaminated blood. Homosexual men and drug abusers who share needles are at highest risk.
In a new study, Whiteside examined 12 AIDS patients from Belle Glade and other parts of South Florida who were not members of any of the groups at high risk of developing AIDS and whose exposure to AIDS could not be explained.
He found that the ``vast majority`` of these patients had been infected with a group of viruses, called Bunyamwera, that are spread by mosquitoes. The viruses cause flulike symptoms in man.

The Ohio Medicaid program has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the schizophrenia drug Zyprexa, at the same time Ohio and other states pursue its maker in court because of adverse medical problems caused by the drug.
For several years, the schizophrenia drug introduced in 1996 has been linked to extreme weight gain and elevated blood sugar that causes diabetes. Its maker, Eli Lilly and Co., has settled more than 28,000 cases for more than $1 billion and faces still more lawsuits and investigations.
Several states are investigating whether Lilly improperly marketed the drug and concealed its risks. Some are suing to recover Medicaid money spent caring for Zyprexa users.
Lilly said in a statement that it is cooperating with state attorneys general but can't comment further. Ohio has not sued directly but has attached claims – for $7.5 million so far – to lawsuits involving 1,100 Ohio Medicaid beneficiaries…


text: Conservation: Story Story Posted 06-20-2012 Ancient Fish, New Hopes 'Jungle Fish' film ties monster arapaima to the fate of a culture in Guyana By: Special to OutdoorChannel.com NORTH RUPUNUNI, Guyana – Referred to as "dinosaurs of the deep," and believed to be the sinister reincarnation of Pirarucu, the disrespectful and taunting son of an Amazon chief, the prehistoric arapaima grow to be more than 10 feet long and can surpass 800 pounds in weight. They're found in Rewa, a remote fishing village of about 280 people in the north Rupununi region of central Guyana, situated on the northern coast of South America. In the new feature film directed by Louisiana Kreutz and produced by Costa Sunglasses, "Jungle Fish," follows three expert fishermen -- Oliver White, Matt Breuer and Nathan Webber – on a two-week voyage deep into the heart of Guyana's rainforest. Their mission: to demonstrate the arapaima could be caught with a fly rod, a feat never before accomplished. If they succeeded, it would prove the country's fledgling sport fishing industry is viable, signaling a brighter future for the native people, the rainforest they call home and the endangered arapaima itself. For decades, the native people of Guyana depended on extractive efforts like poaching, mining and clear cutting as a way to generate income. But unlike resource extraction practices which can quickly destroy an environment, a sustainable sport fishing business offers a way for the people of Rewa to gain economic independence for things like improved healthcare and education programs within the village, without depleting any of the area's pristine natural resources. "The arapaima is a true river monster," White said. "There were definitely times during our research when we weren't sure if we were going to be able to pull off landing one of them on fly. We went through countless fly patterns and rods before we finally dialed into how to catch one of these fish, which look like something out of the Jurassic age. "But we knew if we could crack the code on how to catch the arapaima, it would open up a world of opportunity for the people of Rewa and for adventure anglers everywhere who live for this kind of experience. It truly is the catch of a lifetime." The newly created sport fishing business model in Rewa is being studied closely to see if it's a practice that could be replicated in other indigenous areas around the world as a way to sustainably generate income without extracting resources. Al Perkinson, executive producer of the film and active partner in the conservation project is working with the Guyanese government to establish best practice policies and procedures to ensure the fishery and the surrounding area remain a protected habitat. "We see the initiative in Rewa as having a cascading effect," Perkinson said. "There must be fish in order for a sport fishing business to flourish, which means there must be responsible commercial fishing and healthy habitat practices in place. A healthy habitat is achieved through responsible development in and around the water, by implementing policies that promote clean water, and by other environmentally sound practices on land like forest management and agriculture. So while the ultimate goal is to protect the fish, the means by which they are protected affects the entire eco-system in a positive way." The Rewa Eco Lodge, which employs everyone within the village as cooks, hosts and fishing guides, is now open for business hosting small, individual groups of anglers at a time. This flagship lodge is currently booked through 2012. "Jungle Fish" is now available for purchase online at www.costadelmar.com/protect .

About Costa™ For Costa, the leading manufacturer of the world's clearest polarized performance sunglasses, conservation is all about sustainable fishing. Many fisheries that should be vibrant and healthy are all but devoid of native fish because they have fallen victim to poor fishing practices, unregulated development, lack of watershed protection or all of the above.

"Women are not just victims of war, as some aspects of their experiences are empowering and can be used as a resource for healing and transformation. Their role must be recognized as a resource."
As you begin your prayer today, remember that you are in God's holy presence. Become aware of how God gazes on you all the time, how tenderly and powerfully God regards you. Ask God for what you want in prayer:
Ask God to recognize and know the Lord Jesus as your mentor for a life of love and service.
By Merlys Mosquera
Jesuit Refugee Service Latin America and Caribbean Assistant Director
Caracas, 15 November 2010 – In Spanish, the word aridez means dryness, sterility or lack of humidity. But Aridez is also a woman's name.
Aridez is a woman who arrived in Venezuela as a refugee in 2003, during those years when JRS welcomed numerous people fleeing the violence in neighbouring Colombia. At that time personal accounts of harassment, persecution and massacres at the hands of guerrillas and paramilitaries were part and parcel of our work on the border.
Aridez arrived in Venezuela with her soul and spirit shrivelled by the traumatic death of her husband and the disappearances of her eldest son and twin sister. She also brought with her the cross of her own sorrows and those of her two younger children. She was part of a very large family of almost forty members who also came with her. But she felt alone and empty. The only meaning she could find in her life was from the presence of her two children.
Aridez's situation was extremely difficult because all her family were busy with their own needs. Nobody had time to care for the other, and in her case she needed special attention as she began to show signs of schizophrenia and mental imbalance. Desperation led her to wander alone around the city for days. Nobody knew where she went or what she did during those times. Her elderly parents looked after her children and told visitors she had gone back to Colombia to look for her sister and eldest son.
In order to address this situation, JRS sought psychiatric help for Aridez. At first, she did not cooperate, but gradually her medication helped her to recover a positive outlook. No longer having a husband to look after the family, she realised that she had to find a job. With her eight year-old son, she began to sell fish in the city market and took part in the JRS micro-credit program.
With this support, psychiatric help and participation in the JRS women's empowerment programs, Aridez rediscovered her inner strength and was able feed her children and send them to school. But there is more to her story: four years later, Aridez was the only member of her family to have built a permanent home on her own plot of land. Her children were the best students in school and now she was able to take care of her parents! Finally, her sister miraculously reappeared.
As JRS staff, we travelled with Aridez about four hours every two weeks so that she could visit her doctor. During these trips, I discovered that Aridez was a woman of profound faith and great human qualities. Often she has told me that it was not her who picked up the pieces, but our Lord Jesus who gave her the strength to do these things, helping her find the enthusiasm to once again take hold of her life and get herself up for work day after day.
Like Aridez, many refugee women who attend JRS training courses feel invited and sent by Jesus to rebuild their lives — "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace" (Luke 8:48). They recognise the their faith gives them the strength to build paths towards reconciliation, salvation and forgiveness — just like that woman in the crowd who touched Jesus and recognised in Him the only sure hope of being healed.
Address God as a friend speaks to a friend.
Talk to God about your response, your own needs and your deepest desires.
End your prayer with the Our Father, the prayer Jesus taught us.
Luke 8: 43-48
As Jesus went, the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman afflicted with haemorrhages for twelve years, who had spent her whole livelihood on doctors and was unable to be cured by anyone, came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. Immediately her bleeding stopped. Jesus then asked, "Who touched me?" While all were denying it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are pushing and pressing in upon you." But Jesus said, "Someone has touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me." When the woman realized that she had not escaped notice, she came forward trembling. Falling down before him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace."
"Women are not just victims of war, as some aspects of their experiences are empowering and can be used as a resource for healing and transformation. Their role must be recognized as a resource." ~ War Has Changed Our Life, Not Our Spirit: Experiences of Forcibly Displaced Women, Jesuit Refugee Service.

Dzeko, Lescott and Maicon head for City exit as Mancini prepare fire sale to fund move for Fellaini
Sami Mokbel

Manchester City want to significantly slash their wage bill this summer with a ruthless clear-out.
The current Barclays Premier League holders have already begun the process of making their salary expenditure more cost-effective from next season by instructing a number of third-parties to find buyers for a host of players this summer.
Newly-appointed director of football Txiki Begiristain and chief executive Ferran Soriano have made it a top priority to streamline the club's wage bill.
Edin for the exit: Dzeko and Joleon Lescott are among those set to leave City this summer
Players City are committed to offloading this summer are Maicon, Joleon Lescott, Edin Dzeko and Scott Sinclair.
The futures of Gareth Barry, Javi Garcia, Aleksandar Kolarov and Samir Nasri are also under review ahead of the summer shake-up.
Furthermore, City will make an instant 15million annual saving once Roque Santa Cruz, Wayne Bridge and Kolo Toure's contracts expire at the end of the season.
Disappointing: Samir Nasri has never justified his City salary, while Gareth Barry is rapidly declining
The Etihad Stadium club will also look to use their unwanted stars as makeweights in their attempts to sign fresh blood.
The imminent clear-out is, in part, to ensure the club fall into UEFA's financial fair play guidelines, but also designed to give the club more leeway in terms of wages in the transfer market this summer.
City will look to make at least two significant purchases, with Napoli forward Edinson Cavani, who has a 52million release clause, already identified.
Targeted: Roberto Mancini hopes to recruit Marouane Fellaini
Manager Roberto Mancini will also look to add a box-to-box central midfielder to his ranks, with Everton's Marouane Fellaini viewed as a leading candidate.
It is understood the Toffees are aware of City's growing interest in the Belgium international, but are unwilling to make a decision on his future until the end of the season.
City would be willing to stretch to 23million to land Fellaini, who is also a long-term target for Chelsea, in the summer and have already earmarked young striker John Guidetti as a sweetener in the deal. Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama is also a target for City.

It began with the tabla.The sound of droplets falling into water and then air bubbles breaking the surface. The patter of rain on pipes and stone was in the Barber Centre. I could see such a scene in my mind's eye. The wobbling clangs from the sitar were clashes of thunder in the passing spring flurry. Then there are elephant footfalls. There are dozens of hooves from a herd pounding by. Wheels turning. A waterfall emerges from the sarod. There is the drama of life then the sudden soothing presence of peace. Morning, midday and night speed by at times, like a time-lapse film.
I found two videos that place the scenes and play the music beautifully, but they are separate. If you go to this sitar and sarod duet and place it on 2:45 seconds then open this Rediscover India time-lapse video and mute it they sound and look wonderful together. Get them both going and watch the time-lapse events unfold.
I was watching Tein Taal: A Fusion of Spiritual south Asian Music a concert hosted by the TRUSU India Club on campus. The three musicians, Mohamed Assani a Vancouver-based sitarist, Shahbaz Hussain a tabla virtuosos and Kenneth Wells a Kamloops-based sarode player, played a wonderful series of traditional songs.
I have no idea how the musicians were able to sit as they were. One leg neatly tucked to their side and the other crossed over in front.
Shahbaz Hussain's fingers were a blur most of the time.
He pulled so many sounds from the tabla. And Mohamed Assani seemed to bend the music he played as it stretched across the room.
Kenneth Wells' softer sarode brought a harmony to the songs–in a sense reining in the energy of Assani's sitar and smoothing it out.
I was transported across various regions of southern Asia without leaving Kamloops. I listened to three instruments I had never heard before in person. And as a student I was given free entry.
My wallet was very happy. And so was I.

Good place is no place
What place does utopia have in 2017? It is now half a millennium since the word was invented by Thomas More as the name of his imaginary island, located in the New World and visited by the Portuguese sailor Raphael Hythloday, who describes it, in conversation with a fictitious Thomas More, as an exemplary society. Utopia, as More coined it, means "no-place", the prefix ou in ancient Greek connoting negation, and also "good place", eu suggesting "well" or "good". Utopia is nowhere, and if utopian societies can be said to have any defining characteristics, then a lack of existence in the real world is probably one of them.
Subscribe to the weekly TLS newsletter
If utopia is conventionally nowhere, however, then in 2016 it seemed to be everywhere, as Utopia's quincentenary was celebrated with an array of publications, exhibitions and events. These included numerous academic conferences and books, a year-long festival at Somerset House called UTOPIA 2016: A year of imagination and possibility, and Utopia500, an international project which celebrated utopian thinking as a driver of social change and promoted commemorative events throughout the year. This was a good time for writing and thinking about utopia: a utopian moment for utopian studies.
Yet dystopia (the Greek prefix dus meaning bad or unfavourable) was also ubiquitous in 2016, when the politics of division triumphed: the American election of a climate change-denier as President; Britain's acrimonious referendum; and the strengthening of nationalist political parties across Europe. These victories seemed to remake the political landscape and made imaginable the possibility of dystopia in our own time. With the immediate future in mind, "dystopias are certainly easier" to imagine, as Ursula Le Guin writes in an essay on utopian fiction, published last year in a new edition of More's Utopia, introduced by China Miéville and produced in conjunction with the Somerset House festival.
This has not always been the case. Utopian literature proliferated in the late seventeenth century, for example, in the wake of the Civil War. Writers such as Samuel Hartlib, John Dury and the rest of the Hartlib Circle devoted themselves to imagining idealized institutions such as schools, universities and libraries, which would give wider access to knowledge and improve humanity's capacity to understand the world in which it lived. There is a direct line between their utopian imaginings – and those of their predecessor Francis Bacon, whose New Atlantis of 1626 projected a utopian scientific institution, Salomon's House – and the development of real institutions such as the Royal Society, founded in 1660. Seventeenth-century utopian writers often rejected the imaginative trappings of utopian fiction, such as the mythical island and the difficult journey, precisely because they wanted to emphasize the practicality of the ideas they portrayed. They also wanted to be taken seriously; and "utopian" was already a dirty word by that time, used to describe ideas and places that were too good to be true.
In literature, as in politics, utopia and dystopia are of course inextricably linked, two sides of the same coin. It was John Stuart Mill who seems to have used the d-word first, during a debate on Irish land tithes in the House of Commons in 1868: Mill suggested that the Conservative government should be called "dystopians, or cacotopians" as "what they appear to favour is too bad to be practicable". In Mill's conception, dystopias and utopias both fail on the grounds of practicality, the one seeming too bad, and the other too good, to be put into action. The word "dystopia" was not widely used until the twentieth century; it seems to have become characteristic of the early twenty-first. By common consent, we live in a dystopian age, and "dystopia", as Gregory Claeys observes in Dystopia: A natural history, "increasingly defines the spirit of our times". Dystopian literature may seem a natural place to turn in the face of international political upheaval: in the first weeks of the Trump administration, as the New York Times reported in January, Nineteen Eighty-four leapt to the top of the Amazon bestseller list, as readers faced with "alternative facts" sought out fictional parallels.
There has always been a protectionist element to fictional utopian societies – an interest in building walls and isolating themselves from the wider world – starting with Thomas More's island of Utopia itself. There the entrance to the harbour by which the island is accessed is narrow, and protected by invisible rocks, lying beneath the water and making navigation perilous to foreigners. Utopian societies in literature are often difficult to access, and harder still to join and to participate in as a citizen. Yet there are also significant differences between, say, Trump's America and More's Utopia, perhaps the most obvious being that More's Utopians disdain capitalism and those who covet gold. The Utopians, who use gold to make chamber-pots and slaves' chains, and mock visitors wearing expensive jewellery, would have no room for Trump Tower.
More may have given us the word "utopia", but he – and his book – are curiously distant from much of the writing on utopia that 2016 produced. The trouble with reading More's Utopia in search of ideas that might be useful today is that More's book is so multilayered, jokey and ironic that it is impossible to take it seriously. Miéville's introduction to the Verso edition insists that the original Utopia is vitally important to modern society: "We can't do without this book", he writes, "It gave us a formulation, a concept, we needed". "Without utopia", agrees Rutger Bregman in Utopia for Realists, "we are lost." But More and Utopia are rather absent in both books, as if their contribution stopped at the production of the concept. The translation reproduced by Verso is the 1901 Cassell's National Library version, more recently edited by David Price (the translator of the text is not named here). This translation is freely available online, and it is not, in a scholarly sense, as useful as more recent editions such as that of Penguin Classics in 2012, translated by Dominic Baker-Smith.
In the essays themselves, comparatively little attention is paid to More's words. Nonetheless, the volume is useful for bringing together Miéville and Le Guin, two authors whose work has drawn from aspects of utopia and dystopia. There is a nostalgic feel to this – indeed, looking backwards and returning to past work is a dominant theme – alongside a suggestion that we need to reclaim the value of utopia for our own times. If we don't do so, Miéville suggests, we risk allowing others to claim it instead, with free market capitalism creating a world that constitutes a utopia for global corporations and a nightmare for the rest of us. The utopian politics of the colonial project of America figure in this argument. Le Guin, for instance, muses on California, the "Golden State", as having represented "a true utopia" to Europeans, "the Golden Age made accessible by willpower, the wild paradise to be tamed by reason". This is surely a central, if sometimes overlooked, reason for modern-day disillusionment with utopia: its implication in the colonial project, with its doomed-to-failure discourse of new worlds, arcadia and paradise. Not all utopias can be trusted, and together these essays register a disillusionment with the realities that utopian thinking has provided: "We need utopia, but to try to think utopia, in this world, without rage, without fury, is an indulgence we can't afford. In the face of what is done, we cannot think utopia without hate". In response, Miéville advocates an "antinomian" utopia which struggles against the system for ecological justice, and in which "our best hope lies in conflict" rather than cohesion. This is an anti-neoliberal call to arms, a remaking of utopia for today.
As such, it finds a partner in Bregman's Utopia for Realists, which starts from the premiss that "in the past, everything was worse". Bregman argues that medieval ideal-state fictions, like the Land of Cockaigne, arose in response to an awareness that "the past was certainly a harsh place"; given this, "it's only logical that people dreamed of a day when things would be better". For this to be true, people living in the past would have to be aware of their relative suffering, which is a problematic assertion. It seems more accurate to recognize that utopian dreams have always existed, whether in song, art, or literature, and that people produce such dreams no matter how comparatively harsh their situation.
In Bregman's view, though, modern society has become so comfortable that we have ceased to strive for improvement. His notion of a world which has lost the capacity to imagine a better society calls to mind the radical blogger Mark Fisher's concept of "capitalist realism". Fisher has argued that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than of capitalism, leading to a state of capital realism, which he defines as "the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it". Bregman, too, concludes that the predicament of the current generation is that "we can't imagine a better world than the one we've got . . . . The real crisis is that we can't come up with anything better". We might question the truth of the first part of that statement, especially after reading the fiery Miéville, but Bregman reaches a similar conclusion, blaming capitalism for a failure to sustain the dreams it began: "It is capitalism that opened the gates to the Land of Plenty, but capitalism alone cannot sustain it". We need to "direct our minds to the future", return to utopian thinking, and start hoping for something better.
Hoping for something better is the utopian impulse in a nutshell, and it was the impetus behind William Morris's creation of News from Nowhere. Morris's classic utopian work tells the story of William Guest, who wakes to discover that he has been transported from his own London to an idealized, socialist future version of the city. The book was originally printed in instalments in Commonweal, the socialist magazine which Morris edited, in 1890; it appeared in a beautifully produced edition from Morris's Kelmscott Press two years later. The Thames and Hudson facsimile of the Kelmscott edition, published in conjunction with the Victoria and Albert Museum, enables us to read News from Nowhere in the typeface and setting Morris preferred. In an illuminating introduction, Rowan Williams argues that Morris's utopian vision – as with More's Utopia and Bregman's Utopia for Realists – may be read as a response to the development of global capitalism. At the centre of Morris's book, Williams writes, is "the clear sense that the industrial capitalism of the nineteenth century has alienated the human working agent not only from the products of his or her labour but also from what is natural – from what is natural for human beings and from the world of concrete sensation that is the basis of how we make serious and lasting meanings for ourselves".
Morris's response to this perceived alienation was to create, as More did with his island Utopia, a society in which work was for the common good. Also as with More, Morris coupled this vision of a commonwealth with a satirical perspective on his own world. The narrator of News from Nowhere is amused to discover, for example, that the Houses of Parliament are still in use, but now function partially as a "storage place for manure". As Williams makes clear, Morris's vision of an ideal society is neither naive nor sentimental. Its purpose is to demonstrate the profound alienation that most people experience from the world which they inhabit. "He is inviting us to recognize the power of the myth that industrial capitalism has propagated – that we can endlessly enlarge our demands, shrink our imaginations and deny our dependencies." Williams sees Morris's book as fundamentally challenging the status quo, reminding us that "radical change does not come unless we have a positive sense of what as human beings we most lastingly need in order to flourish". This is a basic value of utopian literature: it does not necessarily offer a checklist or blueprint for a better society, but presents us with an image of what human beings need in order to live well. In this capacity, Williams argues, Morris's book challenges that "corrosive poverty of sense and spirit, and its outworking in political anxiety, apathy and stagnation". This, too, is a utopia for realists.
Realists need dystopias, too, because they offer warnings that might also improve the future of human society if heeded in time. Claeys suggests as much in his Dystopia, which charts the development of dystopia as a psychological concept in the medieval and early modern periods, as a political reality manifested in the totalitarianism of Hitler and Stalin, and as a literary form, originating as a "reaction to popular revolutionism" and coming to "satirize . . . the extremes of utopian ambition". This book follows Claeys's Searching for Utopia: The history of an idea (2011), which also looked at utopia in thought, as a literary genre, and in actual attempts to found ideal communities. He finishes his new book with a dystopian vision of his own, set in a late twenty-first-century future in which the polar ice caps are disappearing and global warming has driven large populations of people from anywhere near the equator. Those who can afford to do so, "the 1 per cent or the 'One', who will possess three-quarters of the world's wealth", will attempt to isolate themselves from the resultant poverty and wars, but without success. Dystopian literature, Claeys argues, can help us to avoid this worst of all possible worlds: "The new, it warns us, is not always the better. 'Progress' is not automatic, and may be dangerous. What benefits the few may harm the many. Machines may devour us. So may corporations or revolutionaries". Taken together, perhaps, utopia and dystopia remain relevant to contemporary global politics: "we need visions of alternatives – even utopias – to delineate which paths suggest the greater and which the lesser of evils".
But is utopianism really for our times? Bregman notes that his own ideas for the continued improvement of humanity's lot – a universal basic income and a reduced working week, among them – have been dismissed as "unrealistic", "simply a shorthand way of saying they didn't fit the status quo". Utopia has always been a means of interrogating and challenging the status quo; utopian ideas are supposed to be unrealistic, but this does not mean they have no application to reality. Bregman's ideas for improving our current state of affairs are reminiscent of the social organization of More's Utopia itself: there, too, a uniform short working week and a basic guaranteed income obtain. Utopias are about improvement: progression, not perfection.
It is a tough job to reclaim the idea of utopia for the twenty-first century and deploy it in the battle against the neoliberal agenda. But – if we were to want to do such a thing – these are books that could help us. If there is an alternative to a neoliberal future, the imaginative effort required by utopian thinking is a necessary step to achieving that alternative. What utopias have to offer us today is not only a list of practical suggestions, which may or may not be needed in the twenty-first century, but a progressive impulse that surely is.

Strawberry Rhubarb Coffee Cake
The post Strawberry Rhubarb Coffee Cake appeared first on Completely Delicious.
This coffee cake filled with the classic strawberry-rhubarb combo and topped with a crispy crumb topping is a perfect springtime treat!
One of my favorite signs of spring is the shoots of rhubarb that pop out of the ground in my backyard every March. It means winter is over! And more importantly, that I can bake all the strawberry-rhubarb things again. The fruity sweet + tart flavors is one of my favorite combinations and I just can't get enough this time of year. This coffee cake has a simple vanilla cake base, a filling of strawberries, rhubarb and lemon zest, and a buttery crumble topping. I'm not ashamed to admit I enjoyed slices with breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a few days.
Told you I was obsessed! (more…)

When I use the word "replace" I have in mind receiving something that can actually work for my GS4, as distinct from "replacing" this worthless junk OtterBox screen cover with more worthless OtterBox junk. OtterBox has refused to replace the "Commuter" model I bought - which has a defective screen cover out of the box - with a similar model having a screen cover that (a) covers the screen and (b) doesn't tear apart within 3 days of normal, low-impact use. I offered to pay any difference in their cost or in their suggested retail price for the better model. It turns out that they have 2 better models, both having model names that call attention to the screen cover as if to say, "If you want an acceptable screen cover you need to buy one of these." The sales person told me that their policy forbids such a replacement arrangement; all they will do is send me two new screen covers for the Commuter, that is of course after I jump through all their ridiculous hoops involving photos, block writing on white paper, etc. Probably I should feel grateful that he didn't say they would send 3 of them. When I'm done ranting here I'll look into filing a complaint with BBB.
In a situation like this my first inclination is to do everything possible to resolve it with the vendor/mfg support staff. In this case it was made clear to me that no matter whom I talk to in their organization, the answer would not vary. The support person suggested I could try posting on their blog site to get attention placed on my issue. Tonight I looked at their blog site; it's stocked with fanboy rave testimonials and corporate propaganda - no hint of any kind of issue.
For completeness, here is what I mean by "defective" and "worthless": The screen cover supplied with the Commuter is so thin and frail that it's (a) practically impossible to align properly, which guarantees bubbles and (b) prone to rapid decomposition while impairing the user's view and not really providing much protection for the screen. Above I mentioned 3 days; that's how long it took for me to realize this wasn't going to work out. I actually kept the cover on for about 3 weeks, until the tearing and bubbling made viewing literally impossible. The photo shows just the screen cover after being removed from the assembly and left in an empty cig pack for about a week. My GS4's screen now has a huge pit in the location being "protected" by the larger hole toward the left. (It seems that I have no control over how much of the image I uploaded gets displayed on this site.)
For me, an acceptable solution would be for Otterbox to send me one of their two better models with a decent screen cover (thicker than this one or tougher material or both), and charge my card for whatever symbolic amount they want for the difference in price. Chicken feed compared with the Samsung screen that's now permanently damaged.
Reason of review: Damaged or defective.
Preferred solution: Send me one of your two better models for the GS4 - the ones with names that remind us of a screen cover that works..

i want to save some data for a each user when he/she log out from a sharepoint site ,
so can i get the event of "sign in as a diffenrent user" in sharepoint .
View Complete Post
I have a site collection in my Farm. One of my user si saying that she cannot sign in from today. till yesterday she was able to sign but now if she tries to sign in the it gives her unathorized error 401.
Every other users are able to sign in just a single user.
My site is anonymous and uses Windows Aunthentication.
Any Help anyone...
I am working on developing a "Create Website Wizard" for SharePoint 2007 that would do the following (I am simplifying a little for the sake of this post):
Take user input as follows:
Product Code:
Category (I, II, III):
The category will be a choice field (radio buttons or a dropdown)
I have always had this in my mind,
its like i am creating an Intranet portal so i want my users who has access to intranet portal, when logs on to the site should prompt the user to mandatory complete his profile and like every 6 months should alert the user to update his profile.
this should be tricky,
looking forward for your replies
Sanny Boy!!
We have a SharePoint 2010 portal in which one of the functionalities opens a list item add form as a popup. We customized this add form using SPD by adding the following java script functions.
<script type="text/javascript">
function PreSaveAction()
var reqType= document.getElementById("ctl00_xxxxxxxxxxxxx_ctl00_Lookup").value;
reqType= reqType.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
var reqDesc= document.getElementById("ctl00_xxxxxxxxxxxxx_ctl00_TextField").value;
reqDesc= reqDesc.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
var error="";
error=error+" &";
error=error+" Description";
error=error+ " can not be empty";
I've a situation,
- External Site : This site has its own user store (user/password) to log-in to.
- SharePoint WebPart : This webpart will get some readonly data from External Site but for performing any CURD operation on the External Site the user has to Log-in to External Site using IFrame Mechanism (This login form has to be of External site, and
UserName/Passwordd should be posted to login-form of External site) sharepoint shouldn't be collecting any user/password credentials. (how can we do this?)
How user gets authenticated in External Site:
1. user Provides username/password.
2. Once authenticated to User Store it set an Authentication Cookie in use browser, thus uses this cookie with every request to perform any CURD operation.
I've to have the similar functionality in SharePoint Webpart. using IFRAME.
Hope i covered all the points in my explaination, if you can provide any blog/code which is dealing with similar kind of approach.
We analyzing the implementations approach, for a scenario.
What we want is once user login to SharePoint site using (Forms/Windows) authentication, he should be automatically authenticated in External Site (using some mechanism) the logged in user credentials are picked up from some store based on his
sharepoint username and system authenticates the user on external site.
Any pointers to code/blogs/articles would be really helpful.
Anonymouse user - Cannot see search results in SharePoint 2010 internet facing site. They see blank results.aspx while admin see all search result.
How to make Anonymouse user - see search results in SharePoint 2010 internet facing site?
can anyone give me an idea on what i could do to automate the site creation in sharepoint when i press the sync button in project ? thanks
We need to hide the Sharepoint 2010 ribbon for anonymous users. But we should have the Sign In Link (which is a part of the Ribbon, I believe). Please let me know the steps for this.
The Sharepoint site has been setup for custom form based authentication.

Hi ,

Hi All,
I have MOSS 2007 up and running, and the Staff Profile is maintained by the users.
Now there is another NEW sharepoint 2010 apps planning. In order to avoid the duplication of staff profile in SharePoint 2010, the requirement is to update the SharePoint 2010 Staff Profile from the existing MOSS 2007.
Is it possible? Any help.

Going "green" is no longer about planting a tree or learning about conservation as much as it's about lobbying for government policy. That's because, frankly, government policy is where the money is — as aluminum giant Alcoa made clear in its latest quarterly report.
Alcoa reported that it will profit from new federal environmental regulations for which it lobbied. These regulations will drive up consumer costs and probably hurt the environment. But if you oppose the Alcoa-Obama agenda, you'll be tarred as some sort of industry shill.
President Barack Obama's mode of operation is this: (1) Shoot bellicose words at the "special interests" and slurring any who oppose his government expansion as Big Business shills. (2) Turn around and work hand-in-hand with those very same powerful lobbyists to craft big-government legislation. (3) Take money and liberty from regular people in the name of "reform" and give it to the well-connected.
Democrats and environmental activists paint their push for subsidies, mandates, taxes, and regulations as a battle pitting oil companies against polar bears — as if all the profit is on the anti-regulation side. Alcoa knows better, and the company's quarterly profit report shows it.
Alcoa has repeatedly supported stricter Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards and is a member of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership, a lobby for restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. These policies act as energy taxes — effectively taxing the weight of a car.
Absent such regulations, an aluminum car frame is much more expensive than a steel car frame. With these regulations, aluminum, which is lighter, becomes more desirable.
So what's the problem? Alcoa is getting rich, but more people are driving lighter-weight, more efficient cars, right? Industry and the Earth both win, right? Hardly.
Making aluminum car frames requires more energy than making steel car frames. One stage in the process — dissolving the alumina to get pure aluminum — inherently gives off carbon dioxide and the far more potent greenhouse gasses hexafluoroethane and tetrafluoromethane.
But Alcoa makes its aluminum in Australia, where Washington's CAFE and climate policies can't touch it. Down Under, naturally, Alcoa's lobbying agenda isn't nearly so green.
So Alcoa's green agenda not only costs consumers more, but it also leads to more greenhouse-gas emissions and more coal being burned — and those who oppose this agenda are demonized for selling out the planet. Turns out, under Obama, it is pretty easy being green.
Timothy P. Carney is the Washington Examiner's lobbying editor.

We make it our priority to provide all landowners with beneficial advice, expertise and above all, results, and we are have been successful in doing so.
Charlottesville, Virginia (PRWEB) December 03, 2013
Cell tower lease consultants, Vertical Consultants, proudly announces its client list is growing with the addition of its newest client, Christian Aid Mission. Christian Aid Mission a 60-year-old non-profit organization that assists indigenous or native ministries with thousands of missionaries, reaching people groups worldwide. The organization is also a cell tower landlord leasing multiple sites to house telecom equipment. Christian Aid Mission, receiving rent from their telecom tenants, was concerned they were not being paid full value for the use of their land and engaged Vertical Consultants as a result.
The experts at Vertical Consultants reviewed the telecom leases associated with Christian Aid Mission's properties and deemed it necessary to renegotiate the terms within the leases. After receiving the result from Vertical Consultants' complimentary cell tower lease review, Christian Aid Mission officially signed on with the telecom consulting firm as a client.
Hugh Odom, President and Founder of Vertical Consultants states, "We are privileged to have the non-profit organization, Christian Aid Mission, added to our client list. We proudly offer valuable information that will lead to monetary gain and better cell tower lease terms to property owners across North America. We make it our priority to provide all landowners with beneficial advice, expertise and above all, results, and we are have been successful in doing so."
The telecom consulting firm has become a catalyst for positive change in the telecom industry. In 2012, Vertical Consultants increased cell tower rents for their clients by 142% and since inception has recovered over 200 years worth of unpaid cell tower rent and expenses for clients, collectively. Vertical Consultants, founded in 2010 by Hugh Odom, is comprised of a group of wireless industry veterans with decades of combined experience. Vertical Consultants specializes in issues surrounding the wireless telecom industry and prides itself as a source of information for property owners.
Vertical Consultants experience in the industry allows it to offer its clients unmatched expertise, services and results. Unlike others in their field, Vertical Consultants is able to handle every aspect of the issues surrounding a cell tower, rooftop or any other type of telecom lease, from start to finish.
