People learn continuously throughout their lives in formal or non-formal, or informal settings; at home, in the workplace, in the community or in learning centres and institutions. No matter when – or at what level you finished your initial education, you have learned something new since. Learning can take place on a daily basis in many settings.
Examples of adult learners are people who...
- Decided to do a part-time course in a local community centre or group
- Left school at an early age but returned to learning to gain a formal qualification
- Are improving their reading and writing skills through one-to-one classes
- Undertook a course to learn how to use a computer
- Got a degree then decided to do an evening course
- Learn on the job in a training course
- Never had the chance to go to college after school so enrolled as a mature student
- Have updated their skills to improve their career or employment prospects
- Learn a new language or undertake a hobby course
- Participate in social or leisure courses
- Participate in active retirement activities
Lifelong learning is a basic requirement for personal development and economic success, for individuals and society as a whole. People who take the opportunity to continually learn and develop their skills and capacities:
- Make our economy grow and develop
- Ensure that their children develop a love of learning and take full advantage of education
- Actively participate in their own communities and civil society
- Support and respect people with different cultural beliefs and abilities
- Respect and protect the environment for future generations
- Nurture creativity and imagination
- Live healthy and fulfilled lives
Demands on individuals' knowledge and skills are continually increasing. Globalisation, the technical revolution and the aging of society are the main challenges in our times. Ireland's ambition must be to become a leading economy in the knowledge based society. To achieve this, traditional methods of training and ways of working are being revolutionised. Today everybody has to constantly update qualifications to further develop skills on the personal level to be successful in the labour market.
AONTAS is the national adult learning organisation, and provides extensive information on learning opportunities for adults in Ireland. You can browse an online version of their current Information Booklet here
Before choosing a course to study, adult learners should do a bit of research:
- Find out what if any qualification they will be awarded upon completion of the course
- Know the institution's awarding body
The National Qualifications Authority of Ireland (NQAI) is appointed by the Minister of Education and Science. Learners should always research what qualification they will receive upon completion of their chosen course. The two main awarding bodies in Ireland are;
The Higher Education and Training Awards Council (HETAC)- is the qualifications awarding body for third-level education and training institutions outside the University sector other than the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT).
The Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) is the national awarding body for all further education and training / PLC courses in Ireland.
The National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) is a ten level system that incorporates awards made for all kinds of learning, large and small, whether it is gained in schools, the workplace, the community, training centre's, colleges or universities. For each level of the NFQ, standards of knowledge, skill and competence have been set out, defining the outcomes to be achieved by a learner seeking to gain a qualification.

Forms of adult education available.
Post Leaving Certificate Courses
Education and Training Boards (ETBs), through Colleges of Further Education throughout Ireland, provide Post Leaving Certificate courses in a wide range of disciplines and subjects. These courses are offered to school leavers and adults who wish to return to education.
PLC courses are designed to prepare students for work by giving them specific skills and training and also act as a stepping-stone to other third level qualifications at ITs, universities or other colleges.
The entry requirements for a mature student entering a further education course usually include either the standard Leaving Certificate or an equivalent qualification or experiential learning. Post Leaving Certificates (PLCs) are overseen by the FETAC awards scheme, and are free - they are funded by the Department of Education and Skills.

Lifelong learning
There are thousands of courses run all over Ireland to suit the requirements of people of all ages. These courses range from one day hobby courses to those more aimed at providing essential continuous professional development for people in the workplace.
These courses can run as day courses or evening classes. Some are upskilling courses for general personal development, others provide essential workplace skills training.
More and more adults now chose to return to Third level courses and complete a Certificate or Degree program. Special facilities are available for Mature students (aged 23 or more) entering undergraduate courses in Universities, Institutes of Technology and Private colleges. Most colleges reserve places especially for mature students on a number of their courses. Special access courses are also available to help mature students prepare for life in third level colleges.
Distance Education is learning which is not linked to a physical location at fixed times throughout the academic year. It is fast becoming a new trend in education circles. The main advantage of this type of learning is that it can be combined with domestic and work commitments.

Literacy and Community Education
A significant proportion of the Irish population has low levels of literacy. The ETB Adult Literacy Scheme, which is operated across Ireland, allows people with reading and writing difficulties to gain access to literacy education.
People who attend the Adult Literacy Scheme come from all walks of life and have different reasons for wanting to improve their reading, writing, spelling and maths, whether it be self-improvement, job advancement or just to helping their children with their homework.
Community Education is Adult Education located in the community. It adopts a person centred approach as opposed to traditional education where all power and knowledge is centred around the teacher. It takes into account the life experiences of the participants as a starting point. Throughout the country, there a wide range of community groups offering courses at various levels to various groups. Some Community Education courses are accredited by various institutions, such as UCD, NUIM and Waterford Institute of Technology. Not all community groups are affiliated with the ETBs, so keep an eye on local newspapers, newsletter and community notice boards.

Armagnac is France's oldest and most prestigious wine-based eau-de-vie. In the 16th century, it was sold over the counter in pharmacies as a "medicine". Armagnac began to be aged in oak barrels in the 17th century. Nowadays, the Armagnac region can be divided into three production areas: Bas-Armagnac, Ténarèze and Haut-Armagnac. Unlike Cognac, Armagnac is comprised of a broad palette of grape varieties, each very different, allowing for a very particular aromatic balance: Bacco adds to the wine's structure and lends it full-bodied, rich and dense aromas that require long ageing processes to fully express their roundness, smoothness and length on the palate. Folle Blanche, on the other hand, provides freshness and fruitiness in the first years of ageing. Ugni Blanc, ideal for distilling, as well as Colombard, are the final names on the region's list of most common grape varieties. When aged for 15 years or more, Armagnac displays flavours of hazelnut, orange peel, cocoa, and prunes combined with aromas of rose, verbena, leather, vanilla and even cinnamon. These Armagnacs are very dense and rounded and fully express their soil. After 25 years, Armagnacs lose their potency and mellow. Their original character gives way to oak barrel fragrances and their length on the palate becomes truly remarkable.
Castarède(We currently have no information available on this brand)
the Castarède family, the oldest house of Armagnac
1832: Just a few years before France gets equipped with a railway and modern communication network. In the meantime, to sell Armagnac, their famous eau-de-vie traced back to Henri IV and d'Artagnan, practical facilities are created: Pont de Bordes, near Nérac, is the place where the first trading House of Armagnac settled with its cellars alongside an old Roman road and on a tributary of the Garonne river, the Baïse. Baron Haussmann, Deputy of Nérac between 1832 and 1839, encourages the family to get involved in the business. Thanks to him the family has traded from 1832 casks brought by carts from the Bas Armagnac region. For almost 50 years, Pont de Bordes first, then Condom will be the vital center in the Armagnac trading. Initially, their trading House bears the name Jules Nismes Delclou & Cie. Ennobled by King Louis XVIII in 1818; the Castarède family gave the company its name and its coat of arms. In 1832, the company was included in the trade register as the first trading House declared in Armagnac trading.
A family heritage
172 years later, the Castarède family will find the Baron Haussmann spirit again in settling in the heart of Paris (8th District), Florence Castarède opened in 2006 a showroom, a place dedicated to culture where artists, writers, and Armagnac's connoisseurs can share a glass of Armagnac in a friendly atmosphere modeled on of Henri IV and D'Artagnan. The generations succeed one another, in 1932, Raymond Castarède took over the family company. The family business which had high activity, in the beginning, has not known the development that it should have had for some reasons, in particular for geographical reasons. And in the family, there are more collectors than merchants. Very active in the local institutions ( Company of Musketeers, BNIA, the federation of Armagnac) Raymond Castarède has repeatedly promoted this Eau-de-vie from Gascony. His wife, then his son, Jean Castarède, have continued to celebrate this french brandy. Today, Jean Castarède's daughter, Florence Castarède runs the company. She does not hesitate to travel the world to share with people this extraordinary family heritage full of history, with a catching joy of living.

Since the posting of the big list of search marketing blogs, several people have contacted me about having created a custom search engine via Google Custom Search Engine using the list of blogs. So far there are:
- Alister Cameron – Search Engine Marketing Search Engine
- Marc Ohmann – Internet Marketing Search Engine
- Joe Williams – Search Engines According to Category: SEO, Social Media, Black Hat, Linking, Web Design. Lots of work went into this one!
- Megite "River of News" format – TopRank Blog News
- Eurekster Swicki (A-M only) – Search Marketing Blogs
I realize with so many blogs, about 300 now, that it's not practical to try and read them all every day. That's why we're working on developing a "river of news" format so you can see a stream of posts broken out by hours of the day.
Any other suggestions on how we could make this list of search blogs useful are appreciated!

Too often the GoPro is used for things like surfing and wingsuiting, things that we can't relate to and end up looking shaky and nauseating. But Kings fan Eric Locko strapped on the helmet-cam for the most exciting event most of us could realistically hope to experience: a game 7.
Locko documented his night before, during, and after Los Angeles's win that sent them through to the conference finals—at least, what he was able to surreptitiously film, since cameras aren't allowed in the Staples Center. He gets a nice memento, and those of us with crappy hockey teams get a vicarious thrill.
The Sharks fan's GoPro just shows a head smashing into a cinderblock wall over and over.

Preheat oven to 425° with rack in middle.
Cook mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine and simmer briskly 2 minutes. Transfer mushroom mixture to a large bowl and stir in chicken. (Set aside saucepan.)
Bring milk to a bare simmer in a medium saucepan. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in 4-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and cook roux, whisking constantly, 3 minutes. Add hot milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Add thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add 3 lasagne sheets, overlapping slightly, and one third of mushroom filling, spreading evenly, then sprinkle one fourth of Gruyère over top. Repeat 2 times. Top with remaining 3 lasagne sheets and remaining plain sauce, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with remaining Gruyère.
Cover with foil, tenting slightly to prevent foil from touching top of lasagne but sealing all around edge, and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is golden, about 15 minutes more. Let lasagne stand 10 minutes before serving.

Nice reading all these posts about 2012, I was curious about this year and a little bit worried
I Personally must agreed with all the quotes, whether it's scientific, religious and personal analysis, (the shift of the poles ... , Armageddon, the return of Christ, technology, knowledge and conscience awareness etc) it all has been written and thought, and I think we are going to attend all these events on some certain dates (and on different scales of time), but also I think nothing we should worry about, but instead living life with love and ease, and leave for astronomers, geologists and spiritual people the way for finding an altered direction.
Astronomy and religion ages thousands of years back, and I'm sure they both have all the historical data (from Aztec, Hebrews, the Mayans etc) and the best pilots known to depart.

Now that this is dead and gone, what would be some of your personal experiences to share?
For me, it was an year of total "loss" - materially speaking, but spiritually enriching.

None of us will likely argue the fact that MS is a damned expensive disease. We are all affected financially by MS in one way or another. I thought we'd have a chat about reasons and ways that we can all be a bit more frugal.
One big one is how MS may have switched our career paths - as my friend Mike put it - from "thrive" to "survive". We may not be able to work any longer, may not be able to work as/hard/as much/as long, we may not go for the promotion (or may simply be looked over for it) as we deal with the progression of multiple sclerosis in the workplace.
Even if we're still gainfully employed in our chosen field and advancing well, the thought of everything changing on a dime may cause us to save and invest and insure differently than others in our socioeconomic age group.
The increased cost of insurance, associated medical expenses and co-pays can put a dent into income, savings and beyond. Duel income families may become single bread-winner households overnight and in some cases, marriages (and a level of financial status quo) fall victim to MS as can other relationships.
With all of incomes stunted (or dwindling or disappearing), saving for the MS rainy day and added outlay for medical expenses how are we to make ends meet?
One way that would seem easy to some would be to eat "lower on the food chain". Whole, unprocessed foods can be far cheaper (think bulk section vs boxed-prepared) to purchase but far more costly when it comes to time and energy to prepare. That bag of pre-washed greens is likely 3x more expensive than a regular old head of lettuce. Trimming washing, drying and mixing can be a "price" our MS bodies may not be able to pay at the end of a long day.
Utility bills can be a factor as we may be at home more than we might otherwise. At home means lights on, A/C going to keep us cool in the summer and so on. Charging power assistive devices can also run-up the power bill.
Larger cars may be needed to get into and out of and/or transport those freshly-charged devices. Rising fuel prices can hit a family living with MS in the pocket book harder than a neighbor.
I guess that I'm not being very helpful here. It seems as all I'm doing is listing areas where it is or may be hard for us to save a few pennies. Maybe you can chime in to help.
I know finances can be a personal and touchy subject. But, let's face it, we've talked about just about everything else here on the Life With MS Blog… why not money?
How do you get by, pinch pennies, stretch a dollar and tighten your family's belt in this economy with multiple sclerosis?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

When making this thread, there is that feature that shows similar threads. Wow. Bill O'Reilly was first hit with a sexual harassment suit back in 2004. How time flies. It only took Fox 11 years to fire the guy. Now, every guy who bared his wee-wee is getting run out of town. I have a few concerns about this. We have a court and legal system which was designed to handle disputes between parties. There are civil courts to handle issues where a law may not have been broken, but damage occurred. Finally, there are statute of limitations to these laws and injuries and those statutes exist for a purpose. So, my concern is that laws have been replaced with vigilante justice. A woman makes a public accusation and her accuser faces discipline from his employer and from the public mob. This seems to circumvent our criminal justice system. I understand there are reasons it occurred as it has. However, I am not entirely convinced that it makes it right.
First, there is a funny quote some French guy said. When asked about making unwanted sexual advanced on women he replied something like; how would I know they were unwanted if I didn't make them? The point is simple, but sheds a bit of social truth here. Guys do weird stuff to get a woman's attention. Sometimes, it goes too far and sometimes the advanced are well-received. In other words, not all sexual harassment is the same.
Let me take two real examples to point this out. I'll use two Democratic politicians so there can be no argument of bias. However, let's look at Al Franken and John Conyers. Franken has been accused by several women of reaching out and touching their boobs. Crass. Harassing in a way. However, he was not accused of raping anyone. He was not accused of demanding sex for a job or of using his position to coerce women to sleep with him. He made some unwanted advances and the comedian tweaked with a woman who was sleeping. I'm not saying he shouldn't apologize. I am saying some of these issues to be brought up years later (or in the case of the sleeping woman) 10 years later and for none of the women to have tried him legally or civilly, I just don't think what he did she be subjected to some sort of witch hunt. On the other end of the spectrum appears to be Conyers. He went beyond anything Franken did as he used his position to coerce women into accepting his crude behavior. He has been accused of things which could be considered real crimes. But, by publicly outing both men and putting them in the same boat of sexual harassers two things happen. Franken's behavior is seen as something more vile and wicked than it really is and Conyer's behavior is does not look as heinous as it should. In a sea of harassers, the mild and the outrageous all get treated pretty much equally.
This is why these processes need to be redirected to the justice system. Rather than stupid #metoo hashtags, maybe Congress needs to create an a better Ethics committee to properly deal with criminal behavior from Congressmen. Perhaps, the Justice Dept needs to offer better oversight of local police who choose not to pursue sex cases. Maybe, some of these women should be suing the police where their cases were summarily dismissed or go after companies where their complaints were ignored. My point is that these cases need to be pursued through the justice system. Where the statute of limitations has expired, sorry. Something being hard isn't a valid excuse to avoid protecting yourself and it is not a valid excuse to allow the statute of limitations to expire.
Here is my prediction. Just as women can gain public sympathy, they can also gain public scorn. It will take just a few cases where women have been found to have made false allegations or exaggerations to bring this whole thing crashing down and put women right back where they were before. However, if things are handled through the courts, then it won't matter. Crimes should be punished on a case by case basis in a courtroom and the lack of public overreaction will provide less reason for an overcorrection later.

Dec. 10 (Bloomberg) — Drivers in Australia were stranded in a national park in Victoria state for a day without food and water after being led astray by Apple Inc.'s iPhone mapping application, according to police.Maps on iPhones with the iOS 6 operating system list the northwestern Victorian city of Mildura in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park about 70 kilometers (44 miles) away, state police said today in a statement. In some cases, motorists were stuck for as long as a day and walked long distances to get phone reception, police said.
"Police are extremely concerned as there is no water supply within the park and temperatures can reach as high as 46 degrees (115 degrees Fahrenheit), making this a potentially life-threatening issue," according to the statement.
E-mails seeking comment from Carolyn Wu and Fiona Martin, spokeswomen for Apple in Beijing and Sydney, respectively, were not immediately returned.
Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook apologized in September for the map software that has been criticised for flaws including misrouted directions and inaccurately located landmarks. Google Inc.'s maps were on previous iPhone models.
"We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better," Cook said in a letter to customers posted on the Cupertino, California-based company's website.

Last week, Reddit was ground zero for the latest battle royale in the war on fat. It's bad enough that society has such a low tolerance for heavy women on television and the big screen, but now we can't even stomach the sight of heavy mannequins in our stores. When a user posted a photo of a larger-than-average mannequin along with the comment, "Anyone else horrified that they make obese mannequins too now?" the Internet responded with hatred.
People were actually angry about the mannequins, and many commented on their size. The whole thing ignited a heated debate on whether or not overweight people can ever be healthy and whether or not overweight mannequins can in some way promote an "obese lifestyle."
Why does it bother people so much that mannequins are made to reflect the size of the people wearing the clothes? It's kind of ridiculous and sheer fantasy when you go into a plus-sized shop and all the clothes are pinned to smaller-sized mannequins. It doesn't give an accurate idea of what the clothes will look like on. Are we just a society in denial? Would we prefer that we all go through life Photoshopped, and if we can't be molded to fit the impossible standards, we should be locked away like Quasimodo in a tower?
We cannot keep lying to ourselves about obesity. It is real, and the sooner we face it and try to get healthy, the sooner we will all be better off. Getting mad because mannequins are fat is not the answer. Heavyset mannequins are not the problem. They are only a symptom of the problem.
We need to get mad and motivated that we are becoming unhealthier as a nation and do something proactive about it. It's like the old saying, "Hate the sin, not the sinner." I say, hate the unhealthy lifestyle, not the plus-sized mannequin that's just a reflection of what so many Americans look like today.
Do overweight mannequins offend you?

I really do enjoy perusing the Sharing Machine, the online store of creative duo and real life husband and wife, Drew & Natalie Dee. This shirt pretty much sums up how I feel on certain days. A bit bipolar to say the least. A little happy, a little sad, and somewhat indifferent. This is the perfect shirt to wear whenever you're feeling moody. It's sort of the whatever shirt that sums up whatever kind of days.
You can have IDONTCAREÂ for a reasonable $16 from the Sharing Machine to wear whenever you're having a whatever day.Â

As anyone with dentures can tell you, it is not a matter of "if" they break, but "when." It also seems as if breaks come at the most inconvenient time possible. From full or partial breaks to teeth breaking or falling out completely, a broken denture can make life miserable. That's probably why there are so many do-it-yourself kits on the market today. Walk in to any drugstore and you'll find a kit that claims to make them as good as new quickly and easily. But before you attempt to repair dentures yourself, consider a professional service.
Home Denture Repair
Over the counter fix-it kits seem like a good solution if you need to patch-up your dentures and want to avoid a dental office visit. After all, home kits are inexpensive, easy to come by and there is no waiting involved. This makes fixing them yourself an attractive option; but an easy fix can turn into an expensive replacement if you're not careful.
There are many things to consider when attempting to repair dentures at home. To begin with, you should know what your dentures are made out of and which part is broken. Different materials require different acrylics or resins and some of the acrylics used in dentures are not compatible with over the counter kit materials. Secondly, some problems are simply beyond the scope of do-it-yourself kits. If your dentures fit poorly, cause pain or sores in your mouth or fall apart no matter how much adhesive you use, you are better off having them professionally repaired or replaced.
Improper mending can sometimes be worse than the break itself. A poorly fitting denture and the chemicals used in the materials can irritate your mouth. The frustration that goes along with the mixing and measuring involved with over the counter kits is sometimes enough to cause the do-it-yourselfer to give up and turn to a professional for assistance.
Professional Services
Working with a professional service is another option. Denture repair companies offer top-quality services. In fact, many dental offices send dentures to these same companies to make the necessary repairs for their patients. A dental repair lab can provide a team of trained dental technicians, managers and dentists on every repair job that comes in and uses only ADA-approved materials and supplies, ensuring a high-quality and safe end product.
A professional repair company can handle full or partial breaks, repair a tooth or provide a replacement, create duplicates and clean your appliance. Best of all, orders can be placed without leaving your house. Phone and Internet orders combined with mail services means you don't even have to leave the house to get your dentures repaired. Many of these companies offer same-day service and overnight shipping which means your teeth are repaired and back in use in the shortest amount of time possible.
Ultimately, you need to make the choice that works best for your situation and with which you feel the most comfortable. Dentures are a significant investment and should be maintained properly and repaired professionally to ensure proper use and retain a natural appearance.
Denture Repair Lab is a full-service professional denture repair company. Whether they just need to repair a tooth or repair dentures completely, customers rely on the company's professional, quick service and free overnight shipping.

Oil fell the most in five months on Wednesday as China's slowing economy raised questions about the strength of global oil demand.
Benchmark oil fell $3.75, or 4.1 percent, to $88.14 per barrel Wednesday in New York. That was the biggest decline since May 4 when oil fell $4.05 per barrel.
Data released Wednesday showed that China's services sector expanded at a slower pace in September. The report came just days after a survey indicated that the country's manufacturing sector continues to contract. Those reports, plus the ongoing financial crisis in Europe, call into question the strength of global demand for oil.
China is the world's second-largest economy and a huge importer of commodities like oil. China's crude oil imports fell to 4.3 million barrels per day in August, the weakest level since October 2010, analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch estimated in a report last week.
Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, fell $3.40, or 3 percent, to $108.17 on Wednesday.
At the pump, the national average price for gasoline is down just two cents over the past week and five cents in a month. Gas prices usually show a more pronounced drop after Labor Day. Refinery outages have caused shortages of gasoline on both coasts, causing gas prices in those regions to rise. California gas price are averaging $4.23 per gallon, up about 10 cents from a week ago. The average price in New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania is more than a dime higher than a month ago.
At $3.78 per gallon, the national average is the highest for this time of year and 37 cents more expensive than a year ago.
The China news overshadowed signs of improvement in U.S. service companies, which employ nearly 90 percent of the country's work force. The Institute for Supply Management says its index rose in September at the fastest pace since March.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government said crude inventories fell slightly last week but remain 8.4 percent above year-ago levels. Gasoline supplies also rose.
There will be further big price swings in oil this month as the market reacts to each piece of major economic news, says Jim Ritterbusch, of Ritterbusch & Associates. In a daily newsletter, he said oil could jump over the next two days on any positive surprises from the European Central Bank's policy meeting Thursday or the latest U.S. unemployment report on Friday.
In other energy futures trading:
_ Natural gas fell 13.6 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $3.395 per 1,000 cubic feet, a day after hitting a high for the year.
_ Heating oil dropped 5.9 cents to $3.066 per gallon.
_ Wholesale gasoline dropped 7 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $2.80 per gallon.

How do I get started?
Here is the step-by-step process that will take you from start to finish on a cost-share practice.
Step 1: Contact your local soil and water conservation district office to see what cost-share practices are available in your district. Qualified landowners may apply at the local office.
Step 2: A certified technician will evaluate the proposed site to see if it meets eligibility requirements for cost-share and recommend the most cost effective practice for your particular situation.
Step 3: A qualified technician will design the practice based on the site visit and the goals of the landowner, and make sure that the practice will meet all standards, specifications and policies.
Step 4: A contract for a cost-share practice is created, signed by the landowner and technician, then submitted to the local soil and water district board for approval. Approvals are based on funding amounts available and if the board and landowner feel that the contract can be completed by the termination date assigned.
Step 5: After the contract has received board approval, the landowner is authorized to begin installation of the practice based on the standards, specifications and policies provided.
Step 6: Upon project completion, the landowner notifies the local soil and water office that the project is complete. A qualified technician will then perform another site visit to 'check out' the completed practice to determine the extents applied and certify the project meets standards, specifications and policies.
Step 7: The landowner submits proper documentation for all expenditures to the district office.
Step 8: The contract payment document is generated based on the extent of qualified expenditures installed and documented by the landowner and practice certification by the certified technician.
Step 9: Once the contract payment document has been approved and signed by both the landowner and the local soil and water district board, it is electronically submitted by the local office to the Soil and Water Conservation Program office for payment processing.
Step 10: Reimbursement from the state is direct-deposited in the landowner's bank account following approval by the local soil and water district board. The landowner will receive, via mail, notification from the program office that the payment has been processed.

You've got only a few dirty dishes so you really don't want to run the dishwasher. But after you've washed and rinsed them by hand, you need a way to let them air dry quickly and cleanly, without leaving the countertop full of wet towels that could harbor bacteria. What to do? A dish rack isn't the answer—not only does it take up valuable counter space, but its slick, wet surface can become grimy quickly.
Pile dishes high as you save time and eliminate the "wet towel/dish rack" dilemma. Our super-absorbent Dish Mat allows dishes to cleanly and cost-effectively air dry, while you go on to more important things. In addition, the Dish Mat itself dries quickly, which means a cleaner surface for next time.

Scenes from the never-dull Clinton White House
Glimpses into behind-the-scenes workings of President Bill Clinton's White House, as revealed in newly released documents:
For Clinton's last State of the Union speech in January 2000, aides considered a long list of guests who might be cited in the address and sit near first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Among those discussed: The parents of slain gay victim Matthew Shepard because, an aide wrote, "It gets a hate crime hit." Nelson Mandela, "since he is retiring." Irish-American author Frank McCourt, because "with peace in Ireland pending, he might be a good message." And "possibly someone" from the Columbine High School massacre.
Among those who ended up sitting in the first lady's box were Atlanta Braves home run record-holder Hank Aaron, former Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen and Tom Mauser, father of one of the Columbine shooting victims.
During the preparations for the 1999 State of the Union, Clinton told aides he wanted them to focus on realistic proposals on education.
"If we don't have any money, why are we even talking about this?" Clinton asked aides.
"Do something, because otherwise we're just whistling Dixie. I couldn't bear to say those sentences unless we can cite something we're doing," he said later.
He also expressed shock that his plan to add 35,000 new teachers was gutted to 1,400. According to a transcript that circulated among aides, he said: "How did that get by and nobody even discussed that with me? I would have had a coronary if I had known that."
Clinton aides spent substantial energy trying to placate supposedly friendly lawmakers.
A July 1999 memo from deputy assistant Lisa Green warned a colleague about the bruised feelings of Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y., who was needed to push a White House "new markets" initiative in Congress.
"Apparently, she is very upset about issues which seem to have very little to do with the actual legislation," said the memo to aide Melissa G. Green. "She is bothered that Gene did not return her call," it said, apparently referring to top economic adviser Gene Sperling. Also, it said, Velazquez "is upset that the President did not visit New York and that we went to Watts and did not focus on the Hispanic community enough."
"I think the real problem is that she is looking for a little attention from the White House," the memo said. "I recommend we have Gene call Velazquez as soon as possible, for the primary purpose of soothing her ruffled feathers."
Clinton's unscripted remarks sometimes caused headaches for his staff.
In an August 1999 memo, senior White House adviser Lynn G. Cutler warned a colleague, "You need to be very careful on the Leonard Peltier question."
Peltier, an activist in the American Indian Movement, was convicted of killing two FBI agents in 1975 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Peltier's defenders sought a pardon, and "unfortunately, the President told the Peltier supporters that he 'would look into it,'" Cutler said in her memo to Debra D. Alexander. "This is very dicey."
Clinton did not pardon Peltier.
A previously classified memo to Clinton from Sandy Berger, the president's national security director, explains why the administration faulted Air Force Brig. Gen. Terry Schwalier for failing to properly secure the Khobar Towers Marine barracks in Saudi Arabia. The outpost was devastated by a truck bombing in June 1996 that killed 19 U.S. servicemen.
In the July 1997 memo, Berger told Clinton that Defense Secretary William Cohen had concluded that Schwalier "failed to proactively support the local commander in protecting his forces." Berger said Cohen would not files charges against Schwalier "but will recommend that you remove him from the 1995 Major General list."
By removing Schwalier from the list, Cohen blocked his promotion to major general. Schwalier resigned several days later. But Schwalier disputed the move and in December 2006, the Air Force Board for the Correction of Military Records sided with him, ordering his retroactive promotion.
In 1993, a longtime black member of Congress was "furious" about the way he was treated by Secret Service officers as he tried to enter the White House for a meeting with the vice president.
Rep. Louis Stokes, D-Ohio, "was asked for identification, although his white driver was not," according to an Oct. 5, 1993, memo from Susan Brophy, who served as Clinton's deputy director of legislative affairs.
"Furthermore, before Rep. Stokes was allowed in the gate, a K-9 detail searched his car," the memo said. "Rep. Stokes is understandably furious and believes the search to be racially motivated."
Stokes, who has a VA medical center named after him in Cleveland, served in Congress for 30 years before retiring in 1998.
At the time of his White House encounter, Stokes was an important Clinton ally on Capitol Hill, serving as chairman of a powerful appropriations subcommittee. Brophy wrote the memo because Stokes was due back at the White House a week later for a photo op with an Ohio mayor. According to the memo, Clinton's liaison to Congress "spoke at length" about the incident with David Watkins, who was White House director of administration.
"David has taken steps to insure that in the future members of Congress driving into the White House will be admitted expeditiously and will be treated with respect," the memo says.
The Clinton White House made an aggressive effort to see that the president got credit for an immigration policy that aides believed was tough but fair, and far superior to that of the previous Bush and Reagan administrations.
A document from February 1995 recommended no punches be pulled at a congressional hearing into Clinton's strategy for patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border. Part of the strategy was dubbed Operation Gatekeeper and was being conducted at Imperial Beach in San Diego.
"Describe in graphic, provocative terms the 12-years of neglect and the miserable condition of the federal border enforcement effort upon the arrival of the Clinton administration," the document says. "Since this is old news, you must employ strong rhetoric to get it in the story."
The unidentified officials testifying at the hearing were encouraged to use "military metaphors" where appropriate. Recommended phrases included "shut down the free-for-all at Imperial Beach, forced the aliens onto our terrain, using a pincer movement to squeeze them into easily apprehendable patterns."
In an October 1994 memo, aides Bruce Reed, Michael Waldman and Paul Weinstein offered options for Clinton to consider as he was weeks away from Democrats losing their majority in Congress. Republicans campaigned on a government reform platform and Clinton's aides wanted Clinton to try to outflank the GOP.
"The president could appoint a kind of bureaucratic bomb squad — an elite group of troubleshooters and investigative journalists who report directly to him," the aides wrote. "Any time a story breaks about fraud or mismanagement in the bureaucracy, they would move in, get to the bottom of it and report back within days with recommendations."
An April 1995 memo by the communications director at the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the federal work force, described the agency's ability to limit publicity about embarrassing data showing disproportionately high firings of minority workers.
The note by Janice Lachance notes that in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by journalists, the agency released figures showing that in 1992, minority federal workers were discharged at 3.1 times the rate of non-minorities. Those figures got slightly worse in 1993 and 1994, the memo said.
"Because the statistics are not improving, OPM has worked to limit discussion and media coverage of this issue to fiscal year 1992 statistics," Lachance wrote. "We have been successful to date."
A Sept. 16, 1993, memo from Rep. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., warned Clinton about what to expect as the president prepared for a speech that evening to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, of which Richardson was a member.
"The dinner will be replete with boring political speeches," Richardson wrote.
Richardson said Clinton should thank the caucus for the 70 percent support Clinton received in the 1992 election from Hispanics, and discuss the benefits of his proposed health care overhaul to Latinos, who were heavily uninsured.
"Plug it hard," Richardson advised.
Clinton's health care plan died in Congress for lack of support.
Letters show Clinton's team dealing with various concerns related to peacekeeping efforts in Somalia before and after the "Black Hawk Down" battle in Mogadishu that killed 18 U.S. soldiers. On Oct. 5, 1993, a day after the attack ended, the White House suggested getting the secretaries of state and defense to speak with Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd to prevent him from cutting off money for the mission.
A memorandum for the chief of staff later that month notes the widening perception that the Clinton administration "lacks viable foreign and security policies," citing dissonant statements by officials on Haiti, Bosnia and Somalia. Difficulty in communicating foreign policy objectives "has had a domestic spillover," the note warns, citing the possibility of a defeat of the North American Free Trade Agreement and attention diverted from health care reform. The free trade agreement would pass; health care wouldn't.
In an April 1997 memo, national security official Joseph Bouchard warned a White House staffer to "go slow" on the planned promotion of Gen. Wesley Clark to head the U.S. European Command because other NATO officials might oppose him. Bouchard told White House official Robert Bell that Clark had little previous military experience in Europe and warned that a "premature announcement that creates the appearance of slighting the North Atlantic Council could cause a negative reaction in Europe."
Clark was nominated to the post three months later and went on to lead NATO in its two-year conflict with Yugoslavia in Kosovo.
As Clinton prepared for his 1998 State of the Union address, his advisers clashed on plans to name a commission to review the future of Social Security.
White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles, who more than a decade later would chair a bipartisan budget review, joined Ron Klain in opposing bipartisan co-chairs of a Social Security commission. They favored involving outside groups such as the Concord Coalition or the Pew Foundation but not veteran lawmakers.
There was quite a bit of politics in choosing leaders. The White House budget office, for instance, said "Sam Nunn might resent your choosing (Warren) Rudman and not him." Nunn, a Democrat, had served as one of Georgia's senators for four terms and Rudman, a Republican, as one of New Hampshire's for two terms.

Federal law dictates car dealers must fix any manufacturer safety recalls before selling new cars. A ballot initiative filed today would require dealers in California to do the same when selling or leasing used cars. Democratic State Senator Hannah- Beth Jackson is supporting the measure.
"A lot of people buy used cars. A lot of people can't afford new ones. A lot of people buy used cars for their children," she said. "There is absolutely no reason that those children and those people buying a used car shouldn't be as safe as humanely possible."
Jackson previously sponsored legislation that would accomplish what the ballot initiative is proposing, but her bill is stalled in committee.
The California New Car Dealers Associate opposes Jackson's bill. It says the focus should be on rental agencies, not car dealers. Jackson says a federal bill is pending that would require rental agencies to fix manufacturer recalls as well.

DEAR ANNIE: My wife and I are in our late 60s and have been married for six years. We were both widowed. We have a great deal in common and are happy together.
Our one bone of contention is her daughter. "Justine" is in her late 30s, married and living overseas. Yet every time she visits, she expects to get picked up and dropped off at the airport, despite the major problems that driving both ways can cause for us. Hints that she might want to get a taxi are blissfully ignored.
When she comes without her husband, she reverts to being an irresponsible teenager, treating the house and its contents as if she had never left. She comes and goes as she pleases, helps herself to the fridge contents, takes over our cellphone, uses our car without filling the gas tank and hogs the computer to carry on long, loud conversations, all without a thought for the disruption she is causing.
Her mother apparently doesn't see anything wrong with this. Justine has just left after a two-week visit and did not put her hand into her purse once the entire time, not even at the coffee shop. She spent almost half of her visit out of the house, often staying out all night.
I hate to see my darling wife taken advantage of like this. Do you think I am being too old-fashioned? Is such behavior acceptable? How can we change this before we have a major argument that will benefit no one? � CRANKY CANADIAN
DEAR CRANKY: Please talk to your wife about some boundaries regarding Justine. Make concrete suggestions (Justine will take a cab from the airport; she will have restrictions on the use of your computer, cellphone and car, etc.), and ask your wife to agree to enforce these conditions for Justine's next visit. But we warn you: Unless your wife is willing to put her foot down, nothing will change. If that is the case, please tolerate these visits as best you can, because getting between your wife and her daughter is a lose-lose situation for you.
DEAR ANNIE: Forty-two years ago, I married a kind, gentle, caring man. Over the years, however, he became hateful and mean. I spent the past 20 years trying to make it through one more day without spurring his anger, often unsuccessfully.
Finally, I asked his doctor to check my husband for depression. His kind doctor prescribed a mild antidepressant. What a change I am seeing! I love my husband like I did 40 years ago and look forward to growing old with him. Please continue to encourage people to see their doctor about depression. Things can be better. � HIS WIFE
DEAR WIFE: Thank you for the testimonial. Sometimes, depression manifests itself as anger, withdrawal, mood swings or other behavioral problems that are not recognized as depression. We are glad you could communicate the problem to his doctor, who listened and took action that helped.
DEAR ANNIE: "Hurt and Disappointed" said she sent money to her deceased sister's children so they'd have an inheritance from Grandma. She was disappointed not to hear back from them.
Even though she said it was "according to instructions," many people die without a will, and most states' intestate succession statutes provide that the children of a deceased child inherit their parent's share per capita. It's quite possible that these nephews were entitled to one-third of their grandmother's estate.
Please caution people to check the law of their state before they distribute any assets. � KNOW BETTER.

Known in these times as shalgiel, these beings were guardians created through ancient magic for purposes which are now forgotten.
You wake in a pub and see that it's full of were creatures, and they're all staring at you with a scared look on their faces. As you continue on into the pub you look at your arm. You notice that your arm is covered in thick brown hair. As you continue on into the pub you look in a mirror, and staring back at you is a 7 foot werebear. As you continue into the pub people start to shy away form you. Once you go the bar you ask the weretigress that's the bartender and begin to ask her why everyone is shying away from you, and she begins ro tell you why.

"My story is the American dream come true," Kirk Douglas says about his life. Some dream! He was born the son of a junk dealer, but he became one of those rare stars who are "as much institutions as actors, cultural icons who conjure up an entire era's worth of images" (The New York Times).
On screen we know him as cowboy, painter, Viking, lover, boxer, trumpeter, cop, slave--characters who fought the system and more often than not ended up destroyed by it. In real life he fought the system, too--but ended up victorious.
He grew up the son of Russian Jewish immigrant parents, as Issur Danielovich, but he worked his way through St. Lawrence University as a janitor and became president of his class and of the school drama club. With a new name, Isadore Demsky, he went to New York's American Academy of Dramatic Arts to pursue his acting dreams and soon landed his first role on Broadway (Spring Again, 1941) and changed his name again, this time to one that would become famous around the world.
He served in the Navy during World War II. In Hollywood his first screen role came in 1946's popular Barbara Stanwyck vehicle, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. Stanley Kramer, producer of Douglas's 1949 star-making film Champion, said Douglas "acted like a star when he was nobody. He came at you, center stage, and there it was." He wasn't a nobody long. In three short years stardom was his.
While most stars were content to be pawns of the all-powerful movie moguls, Douglas founded his own production company and starred in his own films. With that power, he created legendary roles for himself and produced passionate movies such as Paths of Glory and Spartacus.
Along the way Douglas has acted in nearly 80 films, has been named official goodwill ambassador to the United Nations twice, and has published best-selling novels and an autobiography, The Ragman's Son. His most critically acclaimed role as an actor was Lust for Life's Vincent van Gogh, which earned him one of three Oscar nominations and a New York Film Critics Award. Other career touchstones include The Bad and the Beautiful, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Detective Story, and Lonely Are the Brave. Explaining his acting success, Douglas boils it down to "acting with my guts." Michael Douglas, the oldest of the actor's four sons, all of whom have followed him into the film business, talks of his father's ability to give characters "a furious spark of life." It's been noted that his special gift has been to show us the flaws in every hero and the virtues in every heel.
In The Bad and the Beautiful, one of the greatest Hollywood-on-Hollywood films, a very young Kirk Douglas tells star-playing-star Lana Turner: "When you're on the screen, no matter who you're with or what you're doing, the audience is looking at you. That's star quality." He could just as well be describing himself.

Internet, social media figure into domestic violence
HARTFORD -- Domestic violence offenders increasingly use the Internet, social media and even global positioning systems to stalk, terrify and monitor their victims, a state official said Wednesday.
"It just keeps getting worse and worse," said Penni Micca, chairman of the state's Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee. "Telephone surveillance, Internet tracking, social media, video cameras, global positioning systems and a plethora of new software is out there. The result keeps getting greater and greater on the part of the victims."
Connecticut's rate of domestic violence has remained constant since 2000, an average of 16 murders a year -- mostly of women, according to a 15-page report released by the committee. During a news conference in the Capitol complex, committee members said that a 2000 law aimed at reducing domestic violence through public awareness failed because there was no funding for what had been planned to be a half-million-dollar billboard campaign.
Fourteen women were murdered by boyfriends or husbands in 2011. In addition, there were 64 "near-fatal" domestic assaults, the report said.
Between 2000 and 2011, 175 intimate-partner homicides were reported, including 153 female victims and 22 males. While the report does not include 2012 statistics, committee members estimated that number at 12 fatalities.
The report has prompted social service providers to concentrate on helping traumatized children who witness such incidents. It recommends that police delay interviewing child witnesses until they are first treated for trauma by an Emergency Mobile Psychiatric Services unit.
Fatalities reach across socio-economic and geographic lines. In the 2000 to 2011 study period, 63 children were present at 33 fatal family violence incidents, the report said.

Women's Center of Greater Danbury
Domestic Abuse Services, Greenwich YWCA
Domestic Violence Crisis Center, Norwalk/Stamford
The report calls for a statewide policy on family violence, which in recent years has resulted in several major legislative initiatives, Micca said, including 24-hour staffing of the state's domestic-violence shelters, the ability of abuse victims to break apartment leases to move to safety, and job protection for abuse victims.
Nora Dannehy, a veteran federal prosecutor and current deputy state attorney general, said that over the last decade, much has been learned about domestic violence and its impact on communities.
"We know that children who are exposed to domestic violence are more likely to attempt suicide, abuse drugs and alcohol, run away from home and commit crimes," she said. "We know that children who witness domestic violence are more likely than other children to be physically or sexually abused. We know children that are raised in homes with domestic violence are more likely to become victims or perpetrators of domestic violence in their own relationships later in life."
Joette Katz, commissioner of the state Department of Children and Families, said about 60 percent of the agency's caseload include homes with a history of domestic violence.
"We've made a lot of progress, but we have a long way to go," Katz said. "Domestic violence is central to the issues that we in the department confront every day. Child abuse is 15 times more likely to occur in families beset with domestic violence."
The study points out the connection between children witnessing domestic abuse and experiencing traumatic stress.
"These children suffer significant trauma as a result," she said, noting that the agency has embarked on a five-year, multi-million-dollar trauma effort.

Published September 9, 2013
Robert Mark Silverman, associate professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, along with Kelly Patterson, assistant professor of social work, and current MUP student, Jade Lewis, have published "Chasing a Paper Tiger: Evaluating Buffalo's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice" in the journal Current Urban Studies. The article focuses on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's strategy to implement fair housing policy, specifically its requirement for local jurisdictions to receive community development block grant dollars to prepare an analysis of impediments to the fair housing choice (AI) report.
The article's analysis is based on an evaluation of the City of Buffalo's 2004 AI report. The findings from the evaluation revealed that the city had made little progress in implementing the action plan from its AI report over an eight-year period. The article highlights reforms to enhance the ability of AI reports to serve as effective planning tools for the affirmative furthering of fair housing policy. This research was funded by a grant from the Sydney S. Spivack Program in Applied Social Research and Social Policy. Read "Chasing a Paper Tiger" online.
Patterson and Silverman are also editors of Schools and Urban Revitalization: Rethinking Institutions and Community Development, to be released by Routledge this month. The book collects emerging research on the role of public institutions in community development, with special interest in new school-neighborhood partnerships that lead today's most vibrant policy responses to urban blight. "Schools and Urban Revitalization" examines the impact of public and nonprofit institutions through interventions that spur urban economic revitalization and promote greater equity. "Schools and Urban Revitalization" is available for purchase online at Taylor Francis Group.

Bumble, OK Cupid are banning white supremacists for hate speech
Dating in the digital world is getting tougher for white supremacists.
Dating apps Bumble and OKCupid announced that they are blocking users who promote hate speech and hate symbols on their dating apps and websites.
BANNED: Google, GoDaddy boot neo-Nazi site that mocked rally victim
"Hate speech, racism, and bigotry are intolerable realities that we must all come together to take action against," Bumble Founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe said in an online post. "Bumble is a community of kindness and empowerment. This type of behavior goes against our mission as a company and is never welcome on our platform.
OKCupid is taking a similar stance by banning white supremacist Christoper Cantwell.
"OkCupid has zero tolerance for racism. The horrors of Nazi'ism were made possible when so many did so little in the face of gross evil," CEO Elie Seidman said on the company's website. "We will do something in the face of evil, even when other leaders do not."
Bumble and OKCupid are encouraging users to report any type of hate speech and symbols to administrators.
CANCELED: Texas A&M cancels white supremacist rally set for Sept. 11
Bumble also reports its staff members are being targeted by white supremacists. The dating company said it will continue to take a stand against hate groups. It has also partnered with the Anti-Defamation League and will "proactively remove and ban all forms of hate speech and symbols."
"Our team at Bumble has recently been the victim of cyber hate, stemming from groups with white supremacist affiliations. Last week, a neo-Nazi media site published an article to their community urging them to call and email our team with harassing statements, given Bumble's stance towards promoting women's empowerment," Bumble said on its blog.
"We won't stand for being bullied, and we will always make every effort to protect our incredible users from cyber bullies. This isn't going to happen overnight - it will be an ongoing effort, one that will require our community's help."
SENTENCED: Prosecutors finish largest prosecution case involving white supremacist gang member
OKCupid and Bumble aren't the only ones who are dropping white supremacist content. Spotify won't stream white power tracks. Google and GoDaddy are also banning neo-Nazi sites.

Diocese of Batumi and Skhalta
The Diocese of Batumi and Skhalta (eparchy) is a diocese of the Church of Georgia. Diocese is situated at the territory of Autonomous Republic of Adjaria and includes districts of Batumi, Kobuleti, Shuakhevi, Khulo and Keda. The primate of the diocese is His Eminence Dimitri, Archbishop of Batumi and Skhalta.

Adjaria had its hierarch even in the fourth century at the reign of King Mirdat III. Later, at the reign of St King Vakhtang Gorgasali (remembered November 30), the diocese of Skhalta (ie Adjaria) was united into diocese of Akhizi.
In seveteenth century the Ottoman Empire invaded Adjaria and cut it off from Georgia. During 300 years Adjaria was under Islamic rule. Many Georgians were martyred by Turks (the Church comemorates them at Pentecost Day with name "Georgian priests and laymen, martyred by Turks

Neighbors upset about church noise outside Atlanta.
The Associated Press
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. —
Neighbors of a suburban Atlanta church say the congregation has brought new meaning to making a joyful noise.
Residents such as Rachel LaLiberty and Patty Bakmac -- whose homes back up to the International House of Prayer in Lawrenceville -- say the church holds worship service at all hours of the day and night, with loud music.
LaLiberty tells The Gwinnett Daily Post (http://bit.ly/S4fmvV) that the bass from the music shakes the house inside, toppling things over.
The International House of Prayer opened its doors in Lawrenceville in 2004.
Since February 2006, the church has had its "prayer room" open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Daily Post reports that messages left for church officials were not returned.

Swine flu! It's the panic du jour, far less dangerous than eating poorly cooked chicken or getting in a car, yet apparently infinitely more scary. And now Harvard will take $2 to scare you on your iPhone.
Harvard Medical School has just released HMSMobile Swine Flu Center, a $1.99 app that offers all sorts of stuff that doesn't quite seem worth $1.99. This includes:
-Videos on how to protect yourself (spoiler: wash your hands)
-A quiz on whether or not you have swine flu (spoiler: you don't)
-An outbreak tracker to see if the fever has swept through your area
-Advice about survival kits, just in case shit gets really fucking serious
Combine this with the Pedophile Finder app and the HealthMap app and you'll scare yourself into never leaving the house. Awesome? [HMSMobile Swine Flue Center]

Hi everyone!
We've finished the Hardland Store! We wanted to provide the possibility to get Minigore related merchandise to the fans because some people told us they can't wake up properly unless John is glaring at them angrily. We are now officially in the coffee mug business, hehe. At first it seemed like a strange idea, but the mugs turned out to be great! The print quality is good and we are happy with the designs. For now, there's 2 mugs with different kinds of prints for sale, which we have ordered ourselves to see that the quality is adequate to the standards in everything we do. We will add more stuff as soon as we have the time. Here's a pic showing the mugs:
You can find the store here: www.cafepress.com/minigore
Thanks to Leandro for letting us use some of his character designs as a reference for the store banner art!
We shipped the Minigore Monster Constest 2010 prizes yesterday! The happy winners should receive their prizes within 2 weeks, probably during next week.
As Timo said, we hired a new full time programmer (also called Timo :D ) last week, and one part time programmer this week and Kimmo is helping them to settle down to our strange working environment.
Encyclopedia is getting more pages! Here's a preview:

Product Description
*Free Shipping on This Product*
Case of 10 boxes, 200 gloves per box.
GPX3D Vinyl is an industrial grade, powder free disposable glove that is commonly used for food service, painting, janitorial, or industrial applications. This glove is latex free, so all those sensitive or allergic can take advantage of the glove's features. Not only is vinyl cheaper than latex and nitrile, but it features a more generous fit because vinyl is less stretchy. The PVC vinyl material also features excellent tactile sensitivity. The inside of the glove features a smooth polymer coating, so it's easy to switch gloves when you need a fresh pair. GPX3 gloves are sold 100 gloves per box, and 10 boxes per case, where as the GPX3D gloves are sold 200 gloves per box. With twice the gloves per case, you and your customers can spend less on packaging and save on freight costs. The GPX3D box holds the same GPX3 gloves, and fits in the same glove dispensers. Now you can save time because you will only have to replace your glove boxes half as often. The GPX3D option gives you more gloves on hand when you need them, and the advantage of storing the same amount of gloves in approximately 30% less space. GPX3D gloves are also the environment friendly option because you will create less waste. Not only that, it's a better value.

Is there much of a difference in the Points Per Day potential of current generation cards from AMD or Nvidia? Is double precision arithmetic important at all (would a Titan earn more PPD than a 780 Ti)? Has Nvidia or AMD traditionally been better for folding, or have they leapfrogged one another every so often? What is the speculation regarding the next generation cards from both camps, if any?
Would any of you cringe at the thought of folding with a reference R9 290 twenty four hours a day?
I'm tentatively planning on upgrading from my 660 Ti in the first or second quarter of next year, and I'd like to make F@H PPD one of the main factors to consider.
