After the 1979 revolution, when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was fashioning Iran into a Shiite Islamic state, one of his many sayings was, "Keep the appearances of Islam." Public profile is important and so, if Iranians chose not to fast during Ramadan, well, O.K., but they were expected to eat in the privacy of their homes....
That seems to be the unwritten law in Iran today: no sharing. The act of publicly sharing ideas that challenge the system is forbidden, because, at a minimum, that amounts to challenging the appearance the government would like to promote....
Paradoxically, civil society here appears vibrant. It has not been crushed, the way it has by the authoritarian leaders in the Arab world. There is, on many levels, real politics here — often with the outcome unknown — and on the most important issues, leaders must draw consensus from the different levels of power. And so people in many spheres — arts, sports, politics, business — find themselves pressing against the limitations of what is deemed permissible.
Mostly, this is done behind closed doors, in the privacy of people's homes. Some people, like the rock musicians, do risk public sharing, but watchfully....
At a recent concert, as young men and women piled into a small room, one concertgoer leaned over and said, casually, "I hope the Basiji don't rush the place." He was referring to the vigilante squads of bearded men who often use violence to enforce strict Islamic social codes. As the music played, the crowd swayed and clapped, shouted out choruses, and bopped the way any audience of young men and women might in the West. The music, though upbeat, had a slightly funereal quality to it, as the singer took the chance to share his thoughts, in public.Have a right to be ignored and neglectedWhen the show was over and the lights came up the band seemed exhilarated — and frightened.
Have a right to be segued and be raided
Have a right to be damned a right to be jammed
Have a right to be sanctioned and banned.

They are a funny lot, those Iranians. They wouldn't share with the world the pictures of the two teens hung for being gay but they will apparently share with the world caricatures of Jews. Go figure. Let's hope the West can soon share smart bombs with their nuclear reactor.
- Icepick said...
They were rocking in English? Cool.
And Goesh, I'm not sure that bombing a pile of U-235, U-238 and Pu is a good idea. It may be the best of a bad set of choices, but I'm not too eager to go there.
- Melinda said...
Although bombing U2 is a great idea.
Good article! I felt edgy reading it.
- goesh said...
Any nation that hangs teens for being gay can be reasoned with, if the right carrot is offered. Since there are only about 15 million Jews on the planet, if we let Iran destroy Israel, the survivors could come to America and live happily and maybe even be given some free bagels. I think Iran would be satisfied with that and then would not want to hurt the great satan America any longer.
- Icepick said...
Goesh, what is the point of your second comment? I don't understand that at all.
- Eli Blake said...
Uh, before we get going on this, let's remember that 'publicly sharing ideas that challenge the system is forbidden' was also the policy under the Shah, as it was under the Shah's father, etc. Remember that we installed the Shah during WWII, re-installed him the first time the people threw him out in 1952, then helped him maintain his power for a generation thereafter, a generation that involved police state terror tactics, torture and secret trials, detentions and executions.
The only instance I can find where this was not the case in Persia/Iran/Media (whatever you want to call the place) is found in the book of Daniel, when King Darius made a proclamation after Daniel came out of the den of lions that he could pray to his God.
Not saying that the rights of Iranians to free expression are not being restricted, they most certainly are.
But it does seem a bit odd that we suddenly 'discover' this to be a problem in Iran only when they have a government that we don't like-- i.e. this is the same thing as when Jeanne Kirkpatrick differentiated between 'authoritarian' and 'totalitarian' regimes in the Cold War-- both kinds practiced torture, summary execution, etc. but one category were those who our government supported, the other those who we opposed. That was really what it was all about, and she was bastardizing Human Rights to advance foreign policy objectives.
Same situation today: Some governments where freedom of expression is very much restricted (in many cases far more than in Iran) but we will 'discover' little or nothing of it: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Pakistan, China, Nigeria and Yemen.
Now, if the right wants to say that the government is bad for their foreign policy, then they should say so. If they want to condemn them for human rights, then condemn all such governments. But I rarely see that.
- PatCA said...
I think this is a government-approved story. I would imagine the mullahs know where a NYT reporter is at every minute.
The daughter of the former "reformer" president Khatami was said to be a hip-hop fashionista riding around Tehren on her bicycle. Wonder what has become of her in the new regime...

JYJ member Kim Jae Joong tweeted about his trip to Gongju city on 26 December. During the Christmas holiday season, Jae Joong headed down memory lane by going back to his hometown. He visited the house he lived in previously as well as his elementary school.
He captured the memories by posing at these places and sharing them with his fans on his official new twitter account (@bornfreeonekiss).
One of the places he visited was the royal tomb of King Moo Ryoung.
Jae Joong was seen leaving a cheeky message on the digital messagebook as he poses with a peace sign next to the screen.
'김재중 짱' it reads, which translates to 'Kim Jae Joong is the best'.
Jae Joong had also donated a generous amount to his junior high and elementary school in Gongju last year. He is currently preparing for his first solo album which boasts of a rock genre.

There are many brands and forms of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids available. Not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in oil from certain types of fish, vegetables, and other plant sources. These fatty acids are not made by the body and must be consumed in the diet. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids work by lowering the body's production of triglycerides. High levels of triglycerides can lead to coronary artery disease, heart disease, and stroke.
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are used together with diet and exercise to help lower triglyceride levels in the blood.
It is not known if omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids will prevent a heart attack or stroke. Talk to your doctor about your risk factors.
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.
You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to fish, shellfish, or soybeans.

Stop using this medicine and call your doctor at once if you have:
Common side effects may include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Avoid eating foods that are high in fat or cholesterol. This medication will not be as effective in lowering your triglycerides if you do not follow the diet plan recommended by your doctor.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase triglycerides and may make your condition worse.
Other drugs may interact with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using.
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Swallow the omega-3 polyunsaturated capsule whole. Do not puncture or open the capsule.
This medication works best if you take it with food.
Do not crush, chew, break, or dissolve a delayed-release capsule. Swallow it whole.

Hey guys. Today I'll be going over how to draw an Ogre, the mythical(?) creature. Similar to a Troll or Oni, Ogres are large, humanoid creatures with strong arms and big bellies... at least, that's how I'll be drawing them. I'll be using simple steps that everyone can follow, and I'll add detailed drawings to show where you can go from there.

Hi Group,
I've had my machine for almost 10 years and have just replaced a lot of ailing components in an attempt to improve performance. Main issue is that the brew temp seems too high after the machine has been left standing for more than 30 mins.
If the machine has been stood idle for an hour it takes about 5 seconds after pressing the button for water to be expelled from the group head. When the water comes out there is a lot of steam, I generally have to dispense approx 100ml of water before it stops bubbling. Even after all that faffing around the coffee does not espress well, usually blowing holes in the puck and channelling.
My mate (?) thought there was a hole in the heat exchanger pipe (inside boiler) so I managed to buy up a scrap L'Anna and swap the boiler .. alas the problem is the same after 4 hours more faffing, indeed it could be worse!!
So you experts, can you throw any light on it? After all the pain it causes I still love L'Anna and don't want it to die
Thanking you in anticipation

Your sweetie stands facing you as you squat on a bed or chair with your back to him. Lean on his chest as he steadies you by placing his hands under your rear. He then enters you from behind.
Carnal Challenge
Why You'll Love It
Leaning back on his chest with his biceps bracing your weight, you'll feel totally taken care of — and he'll feel more studly than a first-string stallion. Plus, this position gives him deep access combined with more of a grinding motion than the usual from-behind fast thrusting.
Cosmo Hint
Once you have the rhythm down, change it up a little. So long as he can support you in his weakened state, have him take half a step back. Changing the angle will alter where his penis hits your vaginal walls, enhancing your climax by drawing it out.

Texas stage set for RBI tournament starting Friday
Youth baseball and softball championship to be played at Globe Life Park
The RBI World Series will be settled deep in the heart of Texas.
RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) will welcome 24 diverse teams to Arlington to compete for its 2014 championship, and the title game will be held on the field of Globe Life Park, home of the Rangers.
RBI seeks to give disadvantaged youths a chance to play baseball and softball and to learn life lessons through sports, and the RBI World Series will welcome teams from all over. In addition to entries from the United States, there are also teams from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela vying for the RBI World Series title.
Teams from Austin, Texas, Kansas City and Prince George's County in Maryland will be competing in the RBI World Series for the first time. Tournament seeding and playoff games will be played on fields throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex before graduating to the big stage at Globe Life Park. The championship round of the softball tournament will be played at Texas Woman's University in Denton.
The baseball portion of the tournament will begin on Wednesday with an opening luncheon featuring MLB Commissioner Bud Selig. The players will participate in a workout day on Thursday, and the games will begin in earnest Friday on fields in Grapevine and Colleyville.
The baseball championship games will be played August 16, and the senior division championship game will be aired on MLB Network and MLB.com at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The softball championship game will be played on August 17, and will air on MLB Network and MLB.com on August 19 at 10:30 a.m. ET.
"Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities is one of our game's most important youth programs, offering young men and women opportunities to succeed on the field," said Selig in a news release. "Most importantly, RBI provides its participants with experiences and lessons that go beyond baseball and allow them to grow as individuals. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I congratulate all of the players and coaches and wish them the best of luck in the 2014 RBI World Series."
The RBI program was first developed in 1989, and it has helped serve 2 million children in the last 25 years. MLB teams have drafted more than 200 kids with ties to the program over that time, and countless other RBI alumni have gone on to play baseball or softball at a four-year university.
MLB and its clubs have donated more than $30 million to RBI over the years, and the organization currently counts more than 300 programs and more than 220,000 kids under its umbrella. More than 200 cities have an RBI program, and the RBI World Series will crown the best of the best.
"The Texas Rangers, in conjunction with the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation, are proud to be hosting the 2014 RBI World Series," said Rangers co-chairman Ray Davis in a news release announcing the upcoming tournament. "We are thankful to the cities of Grapevine and Southlake, the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District, and Texas Woman's University for the use of their world-class facilities during the event. Locally, the Rangers and the Rangers Foundation are pleased to annually support more than 2,000 kids playing RBI Baseball and Jr. RBI Baseball, and are honored to have the best of the best here in Texas through the RBI World Series."

By Sarah N. Mattero, Boston Globe Correspondent, 11/27/12
Forty hypothermic sea turtles found on Cape Cod are being taken to the New England Aquarium's care center in Quincy to be warmed up, the aquarium said today.
The endangered reptiles, mostly large loggerheads and green sea turtles, have been pouring in over the past three days, aquarium spokesman Tony LaCasse said in a statement.
Sea turtles often become stranded from early November through December, so volunteers from the Massachusetts Audubon Sanctuary at Wellfleet Bay stake out the coasts each year in order to save them.
Despite the fact that sea turtles are cold-blooded, they are susceptible to infections at such low body temperatures. The aquarium takes the reptiles and warms them up 5 degrees a day until their body temperature reaches slightly more than 70 degrees.
Almost 90 sea turtles have been rescued so far this season, including the recent batch, the aquarium said.
Loggerhead turtles are both an endangered and threatened species and typically weigh up to 250 pounds and grow up to 3 feet long, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Green sea turtles are also an endangered and threatened species and can grow to about 3 feet long and weigh more than 300 pounds.

Wow, those are looking GREAT so far. I'll definately be getting some Clones and a Vader, maybe a Vulture as well.Are these still going to be $10?
I think they are showing up at the different places at a bit higher price...TRU:53772 STAR WARS DLX FIGURE 12.99Target:STAR WARS E3 ACTION ASST.: 087-06-1327 $11.99 (some stores say $9.99-10.99)
The price scanners at the Targets by me, list the price for 087-06-1327 as $9.99, perhaps the price will change I don't know. Maybe they're going to up the price by a dollar and still allow people w/coupons for $1 each figure to take $1 off the price of the deluxe figures too?
It basically is just that Jesse, and there's price scanners throughout the store, kinda like WM and TRU have, and you can manually type the code in...
Stass Allie or Adi Gallia? And how do you tell the difference based on past performance?
Sorry, that was sarcasm aimed at the TRU sets. Where's the damn sarcasm icon?

2011-12 U.S. Paralympians of the Year
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The United States Olympic Committee today announced its annual award recipients for Olympic and Paralympic athletes and teams of the year. Each of the 2011-12 honorees were part of Team USA's outstanding performance at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London, and all are reigning Olympic or Paralympic champions. Swimmer Jessica Long (Baltimore, Md.) was named Paralympic SportsWoman of the Year; wheelchair racer Raymond Martin (Jersey City, N.J.) was named Paralympic SportsMan of the Year; and the U.S. men's quad doubles wheelchair tennis team was designated Paralympic Team of the Year. Sprinter Allyson Felix (Los Angeles, Calif.) has been named the USOC SportsWoman of the Year; swimmer Michael Phelps (Baltimore, Md.) was selected SportsMan of the Year; and the U.S. women's eight rowing team was honored as Olympic Team of the Year.
"We are so proud to honor these young men and women who represent the finest ambassadors of sport, Team USA and the Olympic Movement," said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun. "Through their commitment to excellence on and off the field, these athletes represent our country with incredible grace and composure, and their outstanding achievements are an inspiration to all Americans."
The six awards will be presented at a celebratory dinner during the 2012 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Assembly held Sept. 20-21 at the Antlers Hilton Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Jessica Long, Paralympic SportsWoman of the Year
U.S. Paralympic swimming standout Jessica Long collected eight medals at the 2012 Paralympic Games to tie for the most of any athlete and bring her total Paralympic medal count to 17 over three Games. The 20-year-old grabbed gold in five events in London, including the 100-meter butterfly (S8), 400 freestyle (S8), 100 breaststroke (SB7), 200 individual medley (SM8) and 100 freestyle (S8). She also claimed silver in the 100 backstroke (S8) and the 4x100 freestyle relay (34 points), and bronze in the 4x100 medley relay (34 points). Long also lowered her world-record times in the 100 and 400 freestyle and has won both events at three consecutive Paralympic Games. She punched her ticket to London after winning seven events and breaking five world records at the 2012 U.S Paralympic Trails. She returned to the international stage with high hopes in London after capturing nine gold medals and four world records at the 2011 Pan-Pacific Paralympic Swimming Championships. Swimming World Magazine named Long Disabled Swimmer of the Year in 2011, and in 2012, she won her second ESPY Award for Best Female Athlete with a Disability.
Raymond Martin, Paralympic SportsMan of the Year
In his first Paralympic Games, 18-year-old Raymond Martin struck nothing but gold, winning every event he entered in London. Competing in the T52 class, Martin secured Team USA's first track & field gold of the Games after winning the 100 meters. He then cruised to victory in the 400, before securing the top podium spot in the 800. The 200-meter world-record holder then completed his sweep of the sprint events, posting a time of 30.25 seconds in the 200, his premier event. Martin entered the Games with high expectations after taking top honors in the 200, 400 and 800 meters at the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Trials, where he set a world record and an American record in the 200 and 800. Martin's 2011-12 campaign was also highlighted by four medals - including two golds and two silvers - at the 2011 Parapan American Games, followed by a record-shattering performance at the Swiss Series, where he set national records in the 200 and 400.
U.S. Men's Quad Doubles Wheelchair Tennis Team, Paralympic Team of the Year
The U.S. men's quad doubles tennis team of Nick Taylor (Wichita, Kan.) and David Wagner (Hillsboro, Ore.) captured its third consecutive gold medal at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. The winning duo, which has dominated the field since quad doubles was introduced at the 2004 Paralympic Games, outlasted favorites Andrew Lapthorne and Peter Norfolk of Great Britain, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2, to defend its title. Taylor and Wagner opened the 2011-12 campaign by aiding the U.S. to its seventh world team cup championship last May. Four months later, the duo combined to win its seventh grand slam doubles title at the 2011 U.S. Open. Prior to the Games, the pair finished third at the 2012 World Team Cup. In addition to winning doubles gold at the London Games, Taylor and Wagner each medaled in the individual competition, with Wagner claiming silver and bringing his total medal count to five, and Taylor earning bronze to improve his medal count to four overall.
Allyson Felix, Olympic SportsWoman of the Year
U.S. track & field standout Allyson Felix made history during her third Olympic appearance by collecting three gold medals and becoming the first woman to accomplish the feat since Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988. Felix claimed her first gold of the London Games in the 200 meters and, two days later, ran the second leg of the world-record setting 4x100 relay team. She closed the Games with the gold medal in the 4x400 relay. A three-time Olympic medalist in the 200, Felix claimed top honors in her signature event at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials, breaking Griffith-Joyner's 24-year-old record with a time of 21.69 seconds - the fourth-fastest by a woman in history. The three-time Jesse Owens Award winner became the first American woman to win national titles in all three sprint events at the 2011 U.S. Outdoor Championships. She completed her stellar 2011 campaign by winning four medals at the 2011 World Championships, tying Carl Lewis for 10 career medals in the event.
Michael Phelps, Olympic SportsMan of the Year
During the recently completed 2012 Olympic Games, Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian in history with 22 medals, including 18 golds. At the London Games, Phelps capped his illustrious career with four gold medals - including individual titles in the 200-meter individual medley and 100 butterfly and relay wins in the 4x200 freestyle and 4x100 medley. He also added silver medals in the 200 butterfly and the 4x100 freestyle relay. It was a fitting exclamation point to Phelps' career that spanned four Olympic Games. Phelps concluded the 2012 Games as the most successful swimmer of the meet for a third consecutive time. In his final season, Phelps also earned the 2011-12 USA Swimming Grand Prix Series title and collected seven medals at the 2012 FINA World Championships.
U.S. Women's Eight, Olympic Team of the Year
With a gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games, the women's eight - Erin Cafaro (Modesto, Calif.), Caryn Davies (Ithaca, N.Y.), Susan Francia (Abington, Pa.), Caroline Lind (Greensboro, N.C.), Esther Lofgren (Newport Beach, Calif.), Eleanor Logan (Boothbay Harbor, Maine), Meghan Musnicki (Naples, N.Y.), Taylor Ritzel (Larkspur, Colo.) and Mary Whipple (Orangevale, Calif.) - continued its historic run that includes seven straight world championships and three consecutive Olympic medals. The U.S. defended the gold in London, finishing the course in 6:10.59, nearly two seconds ahead of the field. It was a fitting culmination to a year that saw the U.S. fortify its championship dynasty on the world stage. The team set the course record at the 2011 Henley Royal Regatta to claim the Remenham Challenge Cup and won gold at the 2011 World Rowing Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland. At the 2012 World Cup, the team set a world record in its defeat over Canada. The women's eight continued its winning tradition with a gold-medal finish at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Slovenia to qualify for London. All nine athletes in the boat are ranked among the top 16 most-medaled female athletes in U.S. history at the world championship and Olympic levels.
The USOC SportsMan and SportsWoman of the Year awards have been presented annually to the top overall male and female athletes from USOC member organizations since 1974. In 1996, a team category was added to recognize the outstanding achievements of team members who might not otherwise have been eligible for individual awards. The Paralympian of the Year award was introduced in 2004, and the category was expanded to the Paralympic SportsWoman, SportsMan and Team of the Year awards in 2009. Winners are selected from the female, male and team of the year nominations of the National Governing Bodies for the Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American and Parapan American Games sports, as well as select, designated entities within the U.S. Olympic Movement.

Gusting in like a refreshing breeze at a picnic in the height of summer, here come Chicago ensemble The 1900s. Yet Cold & Kind is no mere simple pleasure – repeated listens reveal it to be a deceptively complex and versatile record.
With early tracks such as 'Georgia' and 'Cold & Kind', it's tempting to feel that you've got the measure of The 1900s – imagine Rufus Wainwright fronting Belle & Sebastian and you've got a decent idea. Yet the band evade easy pigeonholing, as the former track builds to a gospel-ish close with the repeated "Jump for joy" refrain, while the latter belies its sun-kissed harmonies with lyrical warnings of "my murderous mind… filled with hate". Similarly, the apparently carefree groove of the gently gorgeous 'City Water' actually carries with it a tale of emotional turmoil – "You came right away / But you never stayed".
As good as the aforementioned tracks are, The 1900s hit hardest when they're at their most rousing. 'Acutiplantar Dude' follows on from 'City Water', cranking things up a notch, and builds to a thrillingly redemptive and transcendent climax – "If I died, I would live again in your body" – embellished by the hauntingly ethereal backing vocal harmonies from the group's female contingent. And then, following the breath-catching interlude of 'When We Lay Down', comes the excellent 'Two Ways', which carries all the energy and urgency of the best '60s pop while maintaining the careful attention to harmony and compositional detail that characterizes the whole record.
It's no accident that this review makes reference to the tracks' positioning in relation to each other, as the band's attention to detail certainly extends to the sequencing of the album. Cold & Kind is very much conceived as a complete whole, with its deliberate ebbs and flows and a clearly defined beginning, middle and end. Typically, this attentiveness even extends to the album's running time – 40 minutes exactly, a nod to the 40th anniversary of Sgt Pepper's.
It's difficult to find serious fault with Cold & Kind. There is certainly the odd moment which lets the side down (the anticlimactic 'Supernatural', the over-long conclusion of 'The Medium Way'), but on the whole it's a great album – meticulously arranged without seeming over-thought, carefully restrained without compromising on emotion, and, crucially, demonstrating an excellent grasp of folky pop at its life-affirming best.

Census Records for Montana
This entry was originally written by Dwight A. Radford for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.

In 1860 the area of Montana that lies east of the Continental Divide was part of Nebraska Territory. Persons residing in this area were enumerated in the unorganized part of Nebraska Territory. The only exceptions to this were two trading posts, Fort Alexander and Fort Union, which were enumerated with unorganized Dakota. The area of Montana west of the Continental Divide was enumerated as the Bitterroot Valley and the Ponderay Mountains in Spokane County, Washington Territory.
A 'census' of miners taken during 1862 to 1863 can be found in 'List of Early Settlers: A List of All Persons (Except Indians) Who Were in What Is Now Montana During the Winter of 1862'63, Which Was the First Winter After the Gold Mines of This Region Had Become Noised Abroad,' Contributions to the Historical Society of Montana, vol. 1. (Helena, Mont.: Rocky Mountain Publishing Co., 1876). Yellowstone National Park was created in 1872, and all residents of the area were enumerated in the Wyoming census for 1880.

Lecisoya F60 IP is a functional lecithin made from standard soya lecithins. It is Non GMO certified by CERT-ID and is primarily used as a food emulsifier. Lecithin is a generic term to designate any group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues composed of phosphoric acid, choline, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, triglycerides, and phospholipids. The nontoxicity of lecithin leads to its use with food, as an additive or in food preparation. It is used commercially in foods requiring a natural emulsifier or lubricant.
Novastell Ingredients Essentials produces a full range of lecithins and phospholipids, Docosahexanoic acid (DHA) and organic and liquid powdered lecithins.

Webinar Recording for Office Hours, March 6, 2017
Entry posted by Samurai Appliance Repair Man ·
1,137 views
We talked about lots of good stuff last night at the Office Hours webinar. I started off with a brief presentation on Neutral and Ground in AC circuits, explaining how they are different and each serves different purposes in AC circuits.
Then we applied what we learned about power supplies in that presentation to decipher some crappy instructions in a service bulletin for a Whirlpool inverter microwave where we had to figure out how to test the digital data input to the inverter.
We then spring boarded off that to talk about digital data communications in appliances. Even though the example we used was a Samsung dishwasher, the principles we discussed are common to ALL appliances, regardless of brand or model.
While we were talking about digital data communications, it seemed like a good flow to get into a discussion about "loading down" in DC power supplies and the troubleshooting technique we would use to test for this. We also talked about why loading down is not an issue affecting AC loads.
But AC loads and switches have their own special way of failing that we as techs need to be aware of: failing under load. So we talked about why we don't trust ohms testing for AC loads and switches.
Finally, we talked about how a high resistance connection (less than 5 ohms!) at a thermostat in an electric dryer can cause long dry times by robbing wattage from the heating element. We worked through a simple Ohm's Law calculation to show how this happens. This little exercise also illustrated the value of having the Ohm's Law pie chart readily accessible in the photo album of your phone so you don't have to rely on memory because it plays tricks on you!

Legislators say Amendment 12 is on the ballot because of fairness. By creating a council consisting of the student body presidents of all the state universities, this amendment will ensure each school has a chance of sending its student representative to the Florida Board of Governors, supporters say.
But a system is already in place that has the same effect, and the state constitution doesn't need to be changed, opponents of Amendment 12 say.
Under the current system, the president of the Florida Student Association (FSA) -- an advocacy organization for state universities that consists of student body presidents -- serves as the Board of Governor's student representative.
All 11 state universities are currently part of the FSA and can help pick the president, but that wasn't always the case. Florida State University has chosen not to participate in recent years. Some alumni and supporters, including several legislators, said that made the student representative selection process unfair and provided the motivation for a bill that put Amendment 12 on the ballot.
Members of the FSA tried to quell the proposal this spring, first arguing that being a member of their organization was not a prerequisite to getting elected to that Board of Governors seat. Then, FSA took it another step further by waiving the $8,500 fee that schools have to pay to become members.
Long is the student body president of New College of Florida and served as the Board of Governors' student representative last year. He said Amendment 12 would create a council of student body presidents who could meet once per year to nominate their representative to the Board of Governors then do nothing else. Meanwhile, the collaboration and communication fostered by the FSA would be lost, he said.
"This council has the exact representation as the Florida Student Association, but many of the benefits of the Florida Student Association are gone, so we can no longer hold our representatives responsible," Long.
Although all state universities are now represented on the FSA and have the opportunity to have their student body president selected to serve on the board of governors, support for Amendment 12 remains.
University of Florida student leaders have joined FSU in supporting Amendment 12 and there is now a "YES on Amendment 12" Facebook page.
Billy Vranish, the director of external affairs for UF's Student Government, said the school is concerned that the FSA's dues system could be reinstated at any time and it also doesn't believe a private organization should be allowed to control a seat on the state's Board of Governors.
The debate on Amendment 12 has also exposed the ongoing political rifts that have at times hampered the effort of FSA to represent all 11 state universities. For example, UF and FSU complained in the past about the FSA dues system that required larger schools to pay more. The organization has also struggled at times to represent the varied, and sometimes conflicting, positions among state universities.

Center-left's Bersani tapped to form new Italy government
ROME (AP) — Italy's center-left leader, Pier Luigi Bersani, was given the tough task Friday to form a new and viable government, which is badly needed to steer the country out of recession and get more Italians back to work.
National elections last month produced no clear winner, but President Giorgio Napolitano said the 61-year-old Bersani was best positioned to create a government given "the most difficult circumstances" — a reference that while the political leader has a comfortable majority in the lower house, the Senate is split.
The vote made plain may voters were disenchanted with mainstream parties and largely divided over which forces should lead Italy at this delicate moment.
Bersani's forces finished first, but he has ruled out a coalition with the next-biggest vote-getter, former Premier Silvio Berlusconi's conservative alliance. Such a move would risk further alienating the voting base of Bersani's Democratic Party.
But if he shuns Berlusconi, Bersani will need to win support from Parliament's new third bloc, a populist, anti-euro movement founded by comic-turned-political leader Beppe Grillo.
Grillo has rejected a vote of confidence to support any established party — and in the required vote of confidence for a new government to go forward. Still, some Grillo lawmakers broke ranks over the weekend and voted to support Bersani's candidate as Senate speaker, indicating the comic's grip on his lawmaker's might not be iron-clad.
Nevertheless, "I don't think Bersani has a chance to put together a government," said political scientist Robert D'Alimonte.
If Bersani fails, Napolitano could tap someone else, a fresh face to politics, like newly chosen Senate President Piero Grasso, a widely respected former anti-Mafia prosecutor, said D'Alimonte, a professor at LUISS university in Rome. Grasso could be tasked to form a technical government with a specific mandate, including rewriting the electoral law.
Bersani pledged dialogue with political forces in the coming days, seeking a balance between "a government seeking the change expected by the Italians and one able to carry out reforms."
Outgoing Premier Mario Monti's centrist forces finished fourth with around 10 percent of the vote. Monti, whose government was appointed in late 2011 to enact reforms and austerity measures to safeguard Italy from the continent's debt crisis, continues as caretaker premier until a new one is in place.
Investors are watching closely to see if Italy can form a stable government to continue on the course of reform. Italy's load of public debt has been growing, but borrowing rates have not come under pressure yet. Sentiment will be tested in a pair of bond sales next week.
Another political affairs analyst, James Walston, said the odds were against Bersani's succeeding, but predicted if the center-left leader does manage to cinch the confidence votes, the government stands a chance of lasting till spring 2014.
"It's unlikely they'd want to vote in summer. And in the fall there's business to attend do," including nailing down Italy's budget, he said.
Bersani would boost his prospects of winning over Grillo lawmakers by packing his proposed Cabinet with non-political names, said Walston, a professor at American University of Rome. Bersani has said "very explicitly that he will not use old political hacks in his Cabinet," Walston said.
So far Bersani has resisted Berlusconi's overtures for a "grand coalition" with his own party, which combines heirs of Italy's former Communists with more centrist forces. Bersani knows if he makes any sort of alliance with Berlusconi's forces "he'll be toast in the next election," Walston said.
Napolitano dismissed criticism that too much time has elapsed before tapping a potential leader. He noted that Israel and the Netherlands each took nearly two months to form governments. Italian elections were held Feb. 24-25, but Napolitano could not consult with leaders until after the new Parliament was seated last week and caucus leaders were chosen.

Here are some excerpts from Marianne's book, Daring to Be Ourselves:
Together, Women Are Strong
If we're by ourselves we come to feel crazy and alone. We need to make alternate families of small groups of women who support each other, talk to each other regularly, can speak their truths and their experiences and find they're not alone in them, that other women have them, too…. It makes such a huge difference.
--Gloria Steinem
What Message Would You Most Want
to Instill in Young Girls?
You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are.
--Melissa Etheridge
Our Most Difficult Times
Can Open Our Hearts
We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. It may even be necessary to encounter the defeat so that we can know who we are. So that we can see, "Oh, that happened, and I rose. I did get knocked down flat in front of the whole world, and I rose. I didn't run away; I rose right where I'd been knocked down." That's how you get to know yourself.
--Maya Angelou
We Are Beautiful Just as We Are
I always thought that people told you that you're beautiful—that this was a title that was bestowed upon you, that it was other people's responsibility to give you this title. And I'm sick of waiting, people! I think that the world is pretty cruel to women in what it considers beautiful and what it celebrates as beauty. And I think that it's time to take this power into our own hands and to say, "You know what? I'm beautiful. I just am. And that's my light. I'm just a beautiful woman."
--Margaret Cho
Owning Our Power
Get over the feeling that the two words don't go together—women and power. The fact is, if we don't put the two together and don't understand how power changes complexion in the hands of women, then we're not going to make it. We have to own our personal power.
--Jane Fonda
Illuminating Our Dreams
I think that if you just follow your heart… you can do anything. You can have anything possible. That's what I've experienced.
--Cameron Diaz

Meet three newly developed Ontario pear varieties. For the next few years they will be sold in small quantities at farmers' markets so do look for them there. Once production increases, widespread grocery store distribution will be possible but that won't be until 2014 or so. It sounds like a long time but not nearly as long as it took for them to be chosen as viable commercial crops.
Through natural breeding techniques, these three new pear varieties were developed to be not only resistant to fire blight and other diseases but also winter hardy so that they can flourish in the harsh Canadian climate. According to Ken Slingerland, a pear specialist who works to develop new pear varieties, it took more than 10,000 attempts over 30 years to come up with these 3 commercially viable pears.
At a media event held last week in Toronto, Ken told me that over the next two years 50,000 new trees will be planted by Ontario pear farmers so that we can eat locally grown pears well into December.
I took home one of each of these new varieties so that I can have a taste of the future. So far I've tried the Harrow Crisp (the little one in the centre of the picture above) and it is very sweet and delicious. The other two new varieties are Harovin Sundown (left) and the not yet marketer named HW620 (at right). I'm still waiting for these two pears to ripen but if my Harrow Crisp experience is any indicator, I think they will be delicious, too!
How can you get your hands on these new pears? You can haunt farmers' markets in the Niagara region or, next spring, look for tree stock at garden centres and plant a couple of these trees in your backyard (note: when planting pears you always need at least two trees so that they can cross pollinate). If that sounds like too much effort, then look for Ontario Bartletts, Anjou and Bosc pears in the grocery store. They are still a fabulous local choice and this year, instead of sending much of the fresh crop to be canned, growers have made a deal with grocery stores to deliver these fresh, local pears throughout November.
What's your favourite way to enjoy pears? I love them eaten out of hand or baked in a pear upside down gingerbread cake. Yum!

Fisherman finds body of missing student in Lake Michigan
June 19, 2013 at 11:00 PM
The Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office has identified a body pulled from Lake Michigan as that of a University of Chicago student who went missing a week ago.
The body of 20-year-old Austin Hudson-LaPore was recovered from the lake early Wednesday by Chicago police after the body was spotted by a fisherman. The third-year student was last seen around 8:30 p.m. on June 12 at his apartment near the university's campus.
Family members and friends have said they believe Hudson-LaPore went to Lake Michigan's shore to observe storms that swept the area the day he disappeared. He had taken his final exams the same day.
Authorities have yet to announce a cause of Hudson-LaPore's death.

In this final part of Carl Olofson's paper on "The Third Generation of Database Technology", I am summarizing the key points in the remainder of his paper, taking liberties to remove much of the detailed descriptions of each vendor, and jumping to his thoughts on Market Strategies, Technology Assessment and Essential Guidance.
It should be apparent to the reader by now that I chose to spend the time on this paper (versus many other papers available on the subject) because it validates a lot of the work that we are currently pursuing within the Research and Development teams at
Vendors and Products of the "3rd Generation Database Technology" (in Alphabetic Order)
Only the vendor and product names are listed here. You can find technologies associated with each vendor in Part II of my blog entry on this topic.
Amazon – SimpleDB
ENEA – Polyhedra
Four Js – Genero DB
Google – Bigtable
Infobionics – Knowledge Server
Ingres – VectorWise
McObject – eXtremeDB
Microsoft – SQL Azure
Oracle – TimesTen, Exadata Storage Server
ParAccel – PADB
RainStor – RainStor cell-based RDBMS
Sybase –
Vertica – FlexStor
Market Strategies
The author believes that fundamentally different approaches to data definition, storage, manipulation, and delivery is needed to provide for more, better, faster, cheaper database management. The desire to acquire and use business analytics in moment-by-moment decision making, accumulate and reconcile large amounts of enterprise data for reporting and analysis, streamline operations with better and more precise data collection and movement all result in demand for DBMS technologies that deliver orders of magnitude better performance, with much higher reliability, than what the leading conventional products can offer.
Technology Assessment
As stated in previous parts of this blog entry, the author believes that the DBMS industry has long been held back by the relational paradigm, which has proven to be both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that its simplicity and broad applicability have enabled DBMS technology to become the standard way that business application is stored and managed, which brings order and manageability to both the data and the applications that use it. The curse is that relational databases are unable to hold semantic metadata or directly represent data organization concepts such as multidimensionality, containment, derivation, recursion, or collection. This limitation can force DBAs to store data that reflects such concepts in arcane combinations of cross-reference tables that require multiple complex joins to navigate, and to encapsulate the management of such table relationship combinations in program code or stored procedures both of which, in the absence of detailed documentation, tend to mask the actual nature of the way the data is logically organized. [Though readers familiar with
The use of Web services and the growth in event-driven architectures (EDAs) are diminishing the need for SQL support in favor of the publication of data services that can be triggered or invoked in a SOA or EDA context. Freeing database management from the limitations imposed by SQL, even at the interface level, can further accelerate the development of DBMS technology that is, from the current perspective, truly revolutionary.
Essential Guidance (Carl Olofson's conclusions)
The DBMS world is dominated by second-generation disk-based RDBMS technologies today. The third-generation technologies will probably not displace the existing disk-based RDBMS products overnight. In fact, it is more likely that the leading RDBMS products will evolve to include some of these technologies, and the leading vendors may acquire third-generation DBMS companies to add to their data management portfolios.
Third-generation technologies will arise in a market that acknowledges that one size truly does not fit all, and that some existing RDBMS technologies, perhaps with third-generation enhancements, remain perfectly appropriate for a range of OLTP and data warehousing workloads. Other workloads, such as those that depend on the rapid capture and processing of streaming data, involve the collection and analysis of vast amounts of heterogeneous data, or support the highly variable demands of the public cloud, will require these emerging technologies, often deployed in specialized, workload-specific ways.
Comments welcomed.

Spartans, Buckeyes to battle for Big Ten title
OSU hoping for BCS Championship berth
INDIANAPOLIS, In. – Ohio State had one major obstacle toward its quest for a national title removed last week when Alabama lost to Auburn.
The second-ranked Buckeyes can increase their odds of a berth in the BCS Championship Game dramatically Saturday when they meet No. 9 Michigan State in the Big Ten title game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Ohio State has won a school-record 24 straight games but needed a failed two-point try in the final seconds last week to escape Michigan with a one-point victory.
Despite the Buckeyes' long winning streak, perhaps no team in the conference is playing as well as the Spartans, who have won eight in a row. Michigan State became the first Big Ten team to win all of its league games by at least 10 points since the conference went to an eight-game schedule in 1971. Although the Spartans could end up in the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1988 regardless of Saturday's outcome, they could assure themselves a school-record 12th win with a victory.
LINE: Ohio State -5.5
ABOUT OHIO STATE (12-0): Carlos Hyde is the first running back under coach Urban Meyer to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season and needs 33 more to become the seventh player in school history to run for 3,000 in a career. Quarterback Braxton Miller trails Hyde by 90 rushing yards and is also 166 total yards shy of joining Art Schlichter as the only Buckeyes to reach 8,000 in their career. Miller and Hyde have combined to rush for 1,070 yards and 13 touchdowns over the past three games against Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.
ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (11-1): The Spartans boast the nation's top rushing, total and pass efficiency defense and complement it with the fifth-best turnover margin (plus-15) in FBS. They are also second nationally in third-down defense (28.7 percent) and fourth in scoring defense (11.8 points per game)."It's by far the best defense I've ever been a part of. It's got to rival the best defenses ever at Michigan State – forget the last seven years," defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi said.
1. Both teams went 8-0 in conference play, marking just the second time since 1943 that two Big Ten teams finished with perfect league marks.
2. Michigan State has kept five out of last six opponents out of the end zone.
3. Meyer notched his first conference win as Ohio State coach when these teams last met in September 2012.
