Functions are one of the fundamental building blocks in JavaScript. A function is a JavaScript procedure—a set of statements that performs a task or calculates a value. To use a function, you must define it somewhere in the scope from which you wish to call it.
Defining functions
A function definition (also called a function declaration) consists of the
function keyword, followed by
- The name of the function.
- A list of arguments to the function, enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas.
- The JavaScript statements that define the function, enclosed in curly braces,
{ }.
For example, the following code defines a simple function named
function square(number) { return number * number; }
The function
square takes one argument, called
number. The function consists of one statement that says to return the argument of the function (that is,
number) multiplied by itself. The
return statement specifies the value returned by the function.
return number * number;
Primitive parameters (such as a number) are passed to functions by value; the value is passed to the function, but if the function changes the value of the parameter, this change is not reflected globally or in the calling function.
If you pass an object (i.e. a non-primitive value, such as
Array or a user-defined object) as a parameter, and the function changes the object's properties, that change is visible outside the function, as shown in the following example:
function myFunc(theObject) { theObject.make = "Toyota"; } var mycar = {make: "Honda", model: "Accord", year: 1998}, x, y; x = mycar.make; // x gets the value "Honda" myFunc(mycar); y = mycar.make; // y gets the value "Toyota" // (the make property was changed by the function)
Note that assigning a new object to the parameter will not have any effect outside the function, because this is changing the value of the parameter rather than the value of one of the object's properties:
function myFunc(theObject) { theObject = {make: "Ford", model: "Focus", year: 2006}; } var mycar = {make: "Honda", model: "Accord", year: 1998}, x, y; x = mycar.make; // x gets the value "Honda" myFunc(mycar); y = mycar.make; // y still gets the value "Honda"
While the function declaration above is syntactically a statement, functions can also be created by a function expression. Such a function can be anonymous; it does not have to have a name. For example, the function
square could have been defined as:
var square = function(number) {return number * number}; var x = square(4) //x gets the value 16
However, a name can be provided with a function expression, and can be used inside the function to refer to itself, or in a debugger to identify the function in stack traces:
var factorial = function fac(n) {return n<2 ? 1 : n*fac(n-1)}; console.log(factorial(3));
Function expressions are convenient when passing a function as an argument to another function. The following example shows a
map function being defined and then called with an anonymous function as its first parameter:
function map(f,a) { var result = [], // Create a new Array i; for (i = 0; i != a.length; i++) result[i] = f(a[i]); return result; }
The following code:
map(function(x) {return x * x * x}, [0, 1, 2, 5, 10]);
returns [0, 1, 8, 125, 1000].
In JavaScript, a function can be defined based on a condition. For example, the following function definition defines
myFunc only if
num equals 0:
var myFunc; if (num == 0){ myFunc = function(theObject) { theObject.make = "Toyota" } }
In addition to defining functions as described here, you can also use the
Function constructor to create functions from a string at runtime, much like
A method is a function that is a property of an object. Read more about objects and methods in Working with Objects.
Calling functions
Defining a function does not execute it. Defining the function simply names the function and specifies what to do when the function is called. Calling the function actually performs the specified actions with the indicated parameters. For example, if you define the function
square, you could call it as follows:
The preceding statement calls the function with an argument of 5. The function executes its statements and returns the value 25.
Functions must be in scope when they are called, but the function declaration can be below the call, as in this example:
console.log(square(5)); /* ... */ function square(n){return n*n}
The scope of a function is the function in which it is declared, or the entire program if it is declared at the top level. Note that this works only when defining the function using the above syntax (i.e.
function funcName(){}). The code below will not work.
console.log(square(5)); square = function (n) { return n * n; }
The arguments of a function are not limited to strings and numbers. You can pass whole objects to a function, too. The
show_props function (defined in Working with Objects) is an example of a function that takes an object as an argument.
A function can be recursive; that is, it can call itself. For example, here is a function that computes factorials recursively:
function factorial(n){ if ((n == 0) || (n == 1)) return 1; else return (n * factorial(n - 1)); }
You could then compute the factorials of one through five as follows:
var a, b, c, d, e; a = factorial(1); // a gets the value 1 b = factorial(2); // b gets the value 2 c = factorial(3); // c gets the value 6 d = factorial(4); // d gets the value 24 e = factorial(5); // e gets the value 120
There are other ways to call functions. There are often cases where a function needs to be called dynamically, or the number of arguments to a function vary, or in which the context of the function call needs to be set to a specific object determined at runtime. It turns out that functions are, themselves, objects, and these objects in turn have methods (see the
Function object). One of these, the
apply() method, can be used to achieve this goal.
Function scope
Variables defined inside a function cannot be accessed from anywhere outside the function, because the variable is defined only in the scope of the function. However, a function can access all variables and functions defined inside the scope in which it is defined. In other words, a function defined in the global scope can access all variables defined in the global scope. A function defined inside another function can also access all variables defined in its parent function and any other variable to which the parent function has access.
// The following variables are defined in the global scope var num1 = 20, num2 = 3, name = "Chamahk"; // This function is defined in the global scope function multiply() { return num1 * num2; } multiply(); // Returns 60 // A nested function example function getScore () { var num1 = 2, num2 = 3; function add() { return name + " scored " + (num1 + num2); } return add(); } getScore(); // Returns "Chamahk scored 5"
Closures are one of the most powerful features of JavaScript. JavaScript allows for the nesting of functions and, in addition, grants the inner function full access to all the variables and functions defined inside the outer function (and all other variables and functions that the outer function has access to). However, the outer function does not have access to the variables and functions defined inside the inner function. This provides a sort of security for the variables of the inner function. Also, since the inner function has access to the scope of the outer function, the variables and functions defined in the outer function will live longer than the outer function itself, if the inner function manages to survive beyond the life of the outer function. A closure is created when the inner function is somehow made available to any scope outside the outer function.
var pet = function(name) { // The outer function defines a variable called "name" var getName = function() { return name; // The inner function has access to the "name" variable of the outer function } return getName; // Return the inner function, thereby exposing it to outer scopes }, myPet = pet("Vivie"); myPet(); // Returns "Vivie"
It can be much more complex than the code above. An object containing methods for manipulating the inner variables of the outer function can be returned.
var createPet = function(name) { var sex; return { setName: function(newName) { name = newName; }, getName: function() { return name; }, getSex: function() { return sex; }, setSex: function(newSex) { if(typeof newSex == "string" && (newSex.toLowerCase() == "male" || newSex.toLowerCase() == "female")) { sex = newSex; } } } } var pet = createPet("Vivie"); pet.getName(); // Vivie pet.setName("Oliver"); pet.setSex("male"); pet.getSex(); // male pet.getName(); // Oliver
In the codes above, the
name variable of the outer function is accessible to the inner functions, and there is no other way to access the inner variables except through the inner functions. The inner variables of the inner function act as safe stores for the inner functions. They hold "persistent", yet secure, data for the inner functions to work with. The functions do not even have to be assigned to a variable, or have a name.
var getCode = (function(){ var secureCode = "0]Eal(eh&2"; // A code we do not want outsiders to be able to modify... return function () { return secureCode; }; })(); getCode(); // Returns the secret code
There are, however, a number of pitfalls to watch out for when using closures. If an enclosed function defines a variable with the same name as the name of a variable in the outer scope, there is no way to refer to the variable in the outer scope again.
var createPet = function(name) { // Outer function defines a variable called "name" return { setName: function(name) { // Enclosed function also defines a variable called "name" name = name; // ??? How do we access the "name" defined by the outer function ??? } } }
The magical
this variable is very tricky in closures. They have to be used carefully, as what
this refers to depends completely on where the function was called, rather than where it was defined. An excellent and elaborate article on closures can be found here.
Using the arguments object
The arguments of a function are maintained in an array-like object. Within a function, you can address the arguments passed to it as follows:
i is the ordinal number of the argument, starting at zero. So, the first argument passed to a function would be
arguments[0]. The total number of arguments is indicated by
Using the
arguments object, you can call a function with more arguments than it is formally declared to accept. This is often useful if you don't know in advance how many arguments will be passed to the function. You can use
arguments.length to determine the number of arguments actually passed to the function, and then access each argument using the
arguments object.
For example, consider a function that concatenates several strings. The only formal argument for the function is a string that specifies the characters that separate the items to concatenate. The function is defined as follows:
function myConcat(separator) { var result = "", // initialize list i; // iterate through arguments for (i = 1; i < arguments.length; i++) { result += arguments[i] + separator; } return result; }
You can pass any number of arguments to this function, and it concatenates each argument into a string "list":
// returns "red, orange, blue, " myConcat(", ", "red", "orange", "blue"); // returns "elephant; giraffe; lion; cheetah; " myConcat("; ", "elephant", "giraffe", "lion", "cheetah"); // returns "sage. basil. oregano. pepper. parsley. " myConcat(". ", "sage", "basil", "oregano", "pepper", "parsley");
Please note that the
arguments variable is "array-like", but not an array. It is array-like in that is has a numbered index and a
length property. However, it does not possess all of the array-manipulation methods.
See the
Function object in the JavaScript Reference for more information.
Predefined functions
JavaScript has several top-level predefined functions:
- eval
- isFinite
- isNaN
- parseInt and parseFloat
- Number and String
- encodeURI, decodeURI, encodeURIComponent, and decodeURIComponent (all available with Javascript 1.5 and later).
The following sections introduce these functions. See the JavaScript Reference for detailed information on all of these functions.
eval Function
eval function evaluates a string of JavaScript code without reference to a particular object. The syntax of
eval is:
expr is a string to be evaluated.
If the string represents an expression,
eval evaluates the expression. If the argument represents one or more JavaScript statements, eval performs the statements. The scope of
eval code is identical to the scope of the calling code. Do not call
eval to evaluate an arithmetic expression; JavaScript evaluates arithmetic expressions automatically.
isFinite function
isFinite function evaluates an argument to determine whether it is a finite number. The syntax of
isFinite is:
number is the number to evaluate.
If the argument is
NaN, positive infinity or negative infinity, this method returns
false, otherwise it returns
The following code checks client input to determine whether it is a finite number.
if(isFinite(ClientInput)){ /* take specific steps */ }
isNaN function
isNaN function evaluates an argument to determine if it is "NaN" (not a number). The syntax of
isNaN is:
testValue is the value you want to evaluate.
parseFloat and
parseInt functions return "NaN" when they evaluate a value that is not a number.
isNaN returns true if passed "NaN," and false otherwise.
The following code evaluates
floatValue to determine if it is a number and then calls a procedure accordingly:
var floatValue = parseFloat(toFloat); if (isNaN(floatValue)) { notFloat(); } else { isFloat(); }
parseInt and parseFloat functions
The two "parse" functions,
parseInt and
parseFloat, return a numeric value when given a string as an argument.
The syntax of
parseFloat is:
parseFloat parses its argument, the string
str, and attempts to return a floating-point number. If it encounters a character other than a sign (+ or -), a numeral (0-9), a decimal point, or an exponent, then it returns the value up to that point and ignores that character and all succeeding characters. If the first character cannot be converted to a number, it returns "NaN" (not a number).
The syntax of
parseInt is:
parseInt(str [, radix]);
parseInt parses its first argument, the string
str, and attempts to return an integer of the specified
radix (base), indicated by the second, optional argument,
radix. For example, a radix of ten indicates to convert to a decimal number, eight octal, sixteen hexadecimal, and so on. For radixes above ten, the letters of the alphabet indicate numerals greater than nine. For example, for hexadecimal numbers (base 16), A through F are used.
parseInt encounters a character that is not a numeral in the specified radix, it ignores it and all succeeding characters and returns the integer value parsed up to that point. If the first character cannot be converted to a number in the specified radix, it returns "NaN." The
parseInt function truncates the string to integer values.
Number and String functions
Number and
String functions let you convert an object to a number or a string. The syntax of these functions is:
var objRef; objRef = Number(objRef); objRef = String(objRef);
objRef is an object reference. Number uses the valueOf() method of the object; String uses the toString() method of the object.
The following example converts the
Date object to a readable string.
var D = new Date(430054663215), x; x = String(D); // x equals "Thu Aug 18 04:37:43 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time) 1983"
The following example converts the
String object to
Number object.
var str = "12", num; num = Number(str);
You can check it. Use DOM method
write() and JavaScript
typeof operator.
var str = "12", num; document.write(typeof str); document.write("<br/>"); num = Number(str); document.write(typeof num);
escape and unescape functions(Obsoleted above JavaScript 1.5)
escape and
unescape functions do not work properly for non-ASCII characters and have been deprecated. In JavaScript 1.5 and later, use
encodeURIComponent, and
escape and
unescape functions let you encode and decode strings. The
escape function returns the hexadecimal encoding of an argument in the ISO Latin character set. The
unescape function returns the ASCII string for the specified hexadecimal encoding value.
The syntax of these functions is:
escape(string); unescape(string);
These functions are used primarily with server-side JavaScript to encode and decode name/value pairs in URLs.

Iraq - Interesting Historical/Biblical Facts
- Did you know???
1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq.
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.
5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!
6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq.
7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.
8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq.
9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel.
10. Amos cried out in Iraq!
11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem.
12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!
13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been
in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!)
14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.
16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.
17. The wise men were from Iraq.
18. Peter preached in Iraq.
19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq!
And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is
Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia.
The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country
with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
Here's why!
- Eden was in Iraq - Genesis 2:10-14
- Adam & Eve were created in Iraq - Genesis 2:7-8
- Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq - Genesis 3:1-6
- Nimrod established Babylon & The Tower of Babel was built in Iraq
-Genesis 10:8-97; 11:1-4
- The confusion of the languages took place in Iraq – Genesis 11:5-11
- Abraham came from a city in Iraq - Genesis 11:31; Acts 7:2-4
- Isaac's bride came from Iraq - Genesis 24:3-4; 10
- Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq - Genesis 27:42-45; 31:38
- The first world Empire was in Iraq - Daniel 1:1-2;2:36-38
- The greatest revival in history was in a city in Iraq - Jonah 3
- The events of the book of Esther took place in Iraq - Esther
- The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq - Nahum
- The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon (Iraq's former name). Revelation 17 & 18 No other nation, except Israel, has more
history and prophecy associated it than Iraq. And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...
The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible???) Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. (Note the verse number!)
God Bless you all. Amen!

The clock is ticking on ballots for the Jan. 28 mail-in Special Election.
Voters who have not turned in their ballots should remember that for ballots to count, the Hood River County Elections Division must have them by 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Measure 28, the three-year income tax surcharge, is the only question on the ballot.
The Hood River County tally is ahead of schedule, reflecting the state-wide trend, according to county elections supervisor Lee Shissler. He said that in the first four days after ballots went out, his office received ballots at the rate of 190, 836, 1,017, and 644. That's a total of 2,771.
An average rate of 687 ballots per day would equate to a total turnout of 7,307, which is 70 percent of the 10,438 registered voters in the county. Shissler predicted a total turnout of between 60-65 percent, "if it continues this way and got the typical last-minute rush on the last couple days."
Either way, and whatever the outcome of Measure 28, the numbers show that a public issue that many had written off as dead in the water has actually got some paddle to it.
As Shissler pointed out, "It looks like a pretty good turnout for this election. Most people had predicted low turnout and certain defeat, but some of the polls have the election pretty close."
Measure 28 is a question that matters. To have your voice count in this close race, ballots must be turned in — postmarks don't count — to the County Courthouse or to Cascade Locks City Hall drop site by 8 p.m. Tuesday.

A female suspect in several burglaries in Pratt has been arrested and booked on three counts.
Eugenia Forsey was booked into the Pratt County Jail on Nov. 20 for Burglary: non-dwelling with intent to commit felony-theft-sexually motivated crime; theft of property-services; criminal damage to property.
Forsey is currently in the Pratt County Jail with a $50,000 bond.
Her arrest was made in conjunction with several alleged burglaries of storage sheds at the Pratt Business Center, 1801 East First in Pratt.
Among the items stolen were firearms, CD-DVDs and a myriad of other property, said Pratt Police Detective Jeff Ward.
Police executed several search warrants and have recovered much of the property. It will take several weeks to complete the investigation, Ward said.

how about replacing hearing aids with an app? any smartphone with a pair of earbuds is all the hardware necessary to function as a hearing aid. also, it looks cool which can be important to kids especially.
there are different types of hearing loss, but what the priciest hearing aids do is to selectively amplify only the frequencies you have difficulty hearing. this is where a professional audiologist comes in. they will perform a battery of tests to determine your frequency response and program a hearing aid to your profile.
it is very tricky getting around the trained audiologist step because we need to make sure the customer is not destroying their remaining hearing by blasting themselves with too much volume.
keep in mind that the actual hearing aid is the same dsp that is in every single cell phone and likely costs less than $1.00 (us) but still they sell for thousands.

the reason that flash photography is usually banned is because the burst of light from a xenon flash tube (or an exploding flashbulb for the older readers) can actually damage certain pigments. the leap from 'no flash photography' to 'no photography' is because a huge percentage of folks with cameras have no idea how to turn off the flash so a few bad actors ruin it for everyone.

when i worked for the government (as a contractor) there were endless training requirements. everyone had to undergo:
safety training
operational security training
computer security training
counter terrorism training
laser safety training
electro static discharge awareness training
human trafficking awareness training
security training...
this list is not at all comprehensive and several of these had to be done more than once a year. every single year. the solution the government came up with is to have a web based briefing with a test. these are time consuming and not necessarily well written and they keep the workforce from focusing on their mission (say, killing terrorists).
it was not at all uncommon to have someone print out and distribute the web based test with the correct answers circled so the mind numbing task of taking training one has had countless times in the past could be quickly dispatched.
the problem is that while all of this is actually important for most people in the workforce to be trained up on, the sheer volume and low quality of the training materials very understandably causes everyone involved not to take it seriously. the alternative to the web based training is to have everyone sit in a physical briefing while the junior person on the totem pole gives a canned power point presentation presentation, usually without any real enthusiasm. at least with the web based approach one can fit it in when it is convenient.
this doesn't even get into the problems that arise when your flash isn't up to date or you are using firefox and the training won't work. or you are using a mac and the training uses some active-x extension and then you have to figure out why you can't take the VERY IMPORTANT training that everybody must complete by close of business or higher ups will be very displeased.
i have no idea how to solve this but as time marches on, more and more training requirements are added on.
let me second this! the correct thing for an artist to do when a politician they disagree with wants to use one of their songs is to write a scathing parody. artists, try to reinforce the association between the candidate and your hilarious satirical version of your song.
too bad there is no shortage of anonymous cowards eager to step up to the plate to defend the republican party. i thought that the revulsion i felt for the republican party was the product of an enlightened upbringing and strong critical thinking skills, but now i see i am a victim of the mainstream media.
i just played with a new android phone that has 'swipe technology' where instead of tapping each character you drag your finger and paint from letter to letter. it sounds weird but it works really well. you do not need to be all that accurate as it is really going off of the shape of the swipe more than the exact key you 'hit'
lets start a list of questions we would like to ask him at his confirmation hearing. i'll start:
Q: How can we rationalize the discrepency between the draconian penalties for file sharing with the actual miniscule damage inflicted?
i'd be interested to read the constitutional authority cited to implement this as now all bills (at least in the house) are supposed to include an explicit reference to the part of the constitution that empowers congress to implement it.
the difficulty seems to be that the problem with financial reform is that it prevents business as usual? don't worry, the banks and the ratings agencies will work out how to sell derivatives, they are highly motivated. they may try to hold up the economy instead of changing but you don't seem to have any difficulty calling out the record labels on that score.
i'm puzzled by your take on the 'opinions' rendered by the rating agencies. suppose you were to consult an attorney who then gave you really (really really) bad advice. do you think she should be able to hide behind the fig leaf of calling that her opinion?

So I managed to find a tesco near me that sells Daikon (well mooli) so I now have a lovely piece but I am quite unsure what to do with it. Could I just use it like radish as well as in some Japanese cooking? And would I be able to freeze it?
I'm not short, I'm fun sized ^_^
There are a lot of ways you can eat daikon.... (though im not familiar with japanese cooking....) anyways i hope this helps
You can pickle it, for one thing, and thin shreds or sticks of daikon and carrots are eaten pickled using a rice vinager, salt, sugar mixture is really yummy... its really easy to make. Put the shreds of daikon and carrots in a jar, pour the mixture in, and let it sit for a day or two. I eat it in vietnamese dishes, though it can be used in japanese dishes too. You can use it with anything. Japanese dishes really incorporate a lot of pickled things.
Daikon tastes really good in sour soup.... i eat it alot in filipino cooking too. Like, round slices in tamarand stew called "Sinigang". Daikon tastes good with anything sour in my opinion (I honestly dont know what kind of asian ingredients there are available in the UK. ive never seen daikon used with anything other than in asian food)
Thats all i can think of at the moment. I hope this gives you a better idea of what you can use daikon for. Im not sure if you can freeze it. You most likely could, like any other vegetable.
Hmm yeah I need to do one of my what to do with a vegetable posts.... but the two most popular ways to eat daikon in Japan are -
- Simmered until tender, in a broth or dashi stock, sometimes on its own, sometimes with other things, as in a soup. Daikon cooked this way turns quite sweet.
- Raw and grated, used as a condiment on grilled fish, with tempura, and a whole lot more. Raw daikon is quite sharp and refreshing, like radish.
You can also cut it (julienne is the most popular cut) and use it in salads, etc. See my mother's namasu recipe as an example.
Daikon does not freeze well, unless it's grated, but even that turns rather watery. Cooked or raw ungrated daikon turns fibrous and unpleasant.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
I did put some in the miso soup I made the other day (My quick filling and warming meal that is always on stand by!) and they were really nice!!
Pickling it maybe a good option for me actually, will last a bit longer and it sounds really tasty! Thanks for the tips :D
Can you tell me some recipes for daikon leaves?
I used some last night instead of green papaya in in a green papaya salad. We never see anything other than ripe papaya here, and I love green papaya salad. Seeing as the papaya really doesn't give much other than crunch to it, I tried a mix of daikon and ripe papaya and it was good

All 18 existing bus routes were abolished Monday when Tuscarawas Valley Board of Education met. The routes will be abolished, effective Jan. 5 due to a lack of funds, the result of the defeat of an emergency operating levy Nov. 5.
All 18 existing bus routes were abolished Monday when Tuscarawas Valley Board of Education met. The routes will be abolished, effective Jan. 5 due to a lack of funds, the result of the defeat of an emergency operating levy Nov. 5.
Superintendent Mark Murphy said letters will be mailed to parents or guardians of all students in fifth through 12th grades, that will outline and describe all transportation changes in the district.
Letters also will be sent home with students in kindergarten through fourth grades outlining the changes.
After abolishing existing routes, board members then approved the creation and posting of 18 new bus routes to transport kindergarten through eighth-grade students, effective Jan. 6. Students in ninth through 12th grades no longer will be bused due to the cutbacks.
These cuts will save the district $195,000.
The board then established a starting time of 8:25 a.m. and dismissal at 2:55 p.m. for primary, intermediate and middle school students.
"Our hands are tied as a board," said board member Dick Gooding. "We have continued to push back the deficit by making cuts, which were made very clear last May. What will now be done will hurt the kids.
"We (the board) will stay the course. We have an excellent school district."
Murphy said the board will need to determine the next step in placing another levy on the ballot. He said the 8.9 mill 10-year emergency operating levy was defeated by 148 votes. If a levy passes in May 2014, the district would not generate any additional money until 2015.
"I want to thank the 1,153 who did support the levy and a thank you to Garry Sears and Terri Davis for serving as co-chairman of the levy," Murphy said.
Murphy presented a letter to the board from the Office of Finance Program Services of the Ohio Department of Education. The letter states the district's five-year forecast projects a negative unreserved fund balance exceeding two percent of revenue beginning in Fiscal Year 2015-16.
Murphy said all field trips have been suspended so no mixed messages are sent. Century 21 Grant field trips also ahve been eliminated except for after school designated stops.
The spring athletics season and those students participating will pay double transportation fees to help offset the transportation costs but the fees will not pay solely for transportation. If there is not enough students to field a team, the coach will be cut.

EPA Provides Tools for Sustainable Communities / Smart growth policies can help achieve environmental justice goals
Release Date: 02/06/2013
Contact Information: Latisha Petteway (News Media Only), firstname.lastname@example.com, 202-564-3191, 202-564-4355; ESPAÑOL: Lina Younes, firstname.lastname@example.com, 202-564-9924, 202-564-4355
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today released a first-of-its kind report showing how low-income, minority and tribal communities can apply smart growth land use and development strategies to create healthy communities, spur economic growth and protect the environment.
The Creating Equitable, Healthy, and Sustainable Communities report describes how low-income, minority, and tribal communities can employ smart growth strategies to clean up and reinvest in existing neighborhoods; provide affordable housing and transportation; and improve access to jobs, parks and stores. The report also provides smart growth practitioners with concrete ideas on how they can better meet the needs of low-income residents as they promote development or redevelopment in underserved communities.
"The way communities are designed and built has an important influence on public health, the quality of our air and water, and economic vitality," said Michael Goo, associate administrator for EPA's Office of Policy. "EPA hopes this report will help smart growth and environmental justice advocates work together more effectively to achieve the best results possible for communities."
"Historically, environmental justice and smart growth have been viewed as separate interests, yet communities across the U.S. are showing that they are actually complementary," said Lisa Garcia, associate assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Environmental Justice. "Combining these principles and focusing on equitable development can help community-based organizations, local planners, and other stakeholders achieve healthy and sustainable communities for all Americans, regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic status."
The report also features case studies on seven communities across the country that have used the strategies described in the report. These strategies include:
- · designing safe streets for all users
· cleaning and reusing contaminated properties
· reducing exposure to facilities with potential environmental concerns
· fixing existing infrastructure before investing in new projects
· preserving affordable housing
The Creating Equitable, Healthy, and Sustainable Communities report was developed by EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and Office of Sustainable Communities.

Varanasi, India -- Tibetan Spiritual leader Dalai Lama stressed the need for following the path set by Lord Buddha for the welfare and peace of the world. Each and every human being has to come forward for the fulfillment of this goal, he said.
<< "The discard of violence was the real definition of any religion. Moral values and the feeling of humanity and religion together could safeguard human welfare in the world" - The Dalai Lama
"I am of the view that the welfare of the world was possible only by following the path shown by Lord Buddha. There is need for India to initiate the role of a world leader with the ideology of Buddha. The world was looking at India with great expectation for the purpose," he said.
Speaking as the chief guest in a two-day international seminar on Buddhism, organised at Mul Gandh Kuti Vihara in Sarnath on Monday, the Dalai Lama expressed serious concern over the growing tendency of terrorism. He said, "crores of people had been killed with religion as main cause behind it since the second World War. It clearly indicated the ignorance of religion."
He added, "In 1960 I had initiated to bring Buddhists from across the world on a single platform for the cause of humanity but failed. I have initiated the process again, with the expectation that India would play the role of a world leader for the purpose till 2011."
"The discard of violence was the real definition of any religion. Moral values and the feeling of humanity and religion together could safeguard human welfare in the world," he said adding that all religions of the world must come together for establishing an atmosphere of peace and welfare.
The president of the Maha Bodhi Society of India BK Modi presided over the function.
Later, the Dalai Lama released six books in another function organised in the Central Tibetan Institute for Higher Studies and addressed teachers and students of the institute.

As Executive Director of The American Patriot Alliance, I've had, over the past few months, a lot of members and supporters ask me if I think America can be saved. In light of the circumstances and events that have occurred in the past year, whether it be the Occupy Wall Street movement, legislation aimed at reducing our individual rights and liberties such as SOPA and CISPA, or President Barack Obama's political posturing in support of same-sex marriage (an issue he was completely AGAINST in 2008), it's become a valid and reasonable question.
And my reply is simple ~ YES… and NO. So maybe it's NOT that simple.
Advertisement - story continues below
Whether America survives or not is going to be determined by several factors, none more important than the spirit of the American people who BELIEVE strongly enough in her exceptionalism that she's WORTH saving — whether we still have the fight left in us we showed in 2010. This is NOT going to be an easy battle, and it is going to take every moment of our lives and every ounce of energy we have to prevail. Barack Obama is determined, through legal or illegal measures, to facilitate America's collapse. If we succeed in defeating his socialist/Marxist agenda in November, we have the opportunity to return America to the Nation of Exceptionalism and Respect denied her over the past three-and-one-half years.
During the midterm election in 2010, American Conservative Patriots came together as a tour de force under the banner of the TEA Party and the realization that a Democratic-controlled Congress, coupled with a socialist, anti-American President, was leading this country down a road of social and economic decline with reckless abandonment. ObamaCare, unemployment, economic instability, and a lack of vision was plummeting America down the side of a mountain into an abyss of moral decay and decadence. From one knee bent in prayer, we stood up together, and what we achieved was the BEGINNING of a restoration of the most incredible Nation, a gift from God that represented the greatest experiment in government the world has ever seen. We succeeded… to an extent.
TRENDING: Chinese Military Official Urges Government to Attack US Navy
What we face right now is our greatest enemy… and its name is APATHY. We have, for the most part, rested on the laurels of 2010, watching Congress and the Presidency once again determine our own futures. Can America be saved? YES… and No.
There is NO higher office in the Nation… not the Presidency, nor Congress, nor the Supreme Court, nor any state or local government… than that of the American Citizen. This is OUR Country. It is OUR destiny. It is the FUTURE of our children and theirs. What then are we going to say when they ask us, "Why didn't you do something, anything, when you knew what was happening?" What will our answer be? YES, or NO.
Advertisement - story continues below
Where we go from here, my friends, is OUR decision, and ours alone. Do we still have the fight in us to reverse the course of destruction set upon us by Congress and the Presidency?
I had a chance recently to meet Colonel Allen West, a man I truly believe epitomizes the mindset, determination and will of the American People. And while it may have seemed an honor to shake his hand, I kept thinking back to all of you. He is but one man, and he can't win this fight alone. Nor can Sarah Palin, Marco Rubio, Glenn Beck, or Rush. This HAS TO BE OUR FIGHT, and we must have the courage and determination to take it to fruition. We MUST stand together shoulder-to-shoulder and advocate at the top of our lungs, "We will NOT be defeated!" For if we do NOT stand together, surely we will fall apart.
So many of you express the frustration that have manifested itself across this nation. What can we do? How can "I," as one person make that difference? Never believe that your words, your actions, or your self-determination make no difference in the greater picture of what we can accomplish. A jigsaw puzzle consists of hundreds of pieces that by themselves look much like nothing. But piece by piece, the picture comes together. Each piece intricately woven into the next until finally, the full power and beauty of the picture is revealed. THIS is what we must represent.
I was so fortunate recently to visit some of the most incredible friends I could wish for during a trip to Boca Raton, Florida. During that time, I met more and more people who were expressing the same anxieties and concerns about the future of our nation. As we broke bread together, it became abundantly clear to each of us that's we're NOT in this battle alone. We have not only each other, but the power and the might of an incredible God standing ready to shield, protect, and provide us the strength to turn the tide in this War on America. We have that fire inside us. We have the resolve. And we MUST come together, REGARDLESS of race, ethnicity, or religious belief against an administration that ran on a platform of unity and yet has done NOTHING in three years other than tear this nation apart, pit race against race, pit poor against the wealthy, pit Americans against illegal immigrants, and fail to treat ALL Americans equally (while pandering to an illegal voter base through lawsuits, threats, and intimidation.) Our words, actions, and deeds MUST once again show the world we will NOT go down without a fight.
Several months ago, Barack Obama, by his words and the directives of the Department of Justice, attempted to further divide this country (in collusion with two of the most vile racists in America, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) during the national debates over the Trayvon Martin shooting. His comment that Martin could have been his son were not only divisive and intentional; they showed exactly how Obama's modus operandi worked. Divide and Conquer. Turn everyone against each other. What is most interesting in this respect is the complete and utter disdainful absence of Obama and Holder's comments with regards to a young man who was doused in gasoline and set on fire for being WHITE. WHERE are Obama, Holder, Jackson, or Sharpton on the issue of a white couple who were kidnapped, RAPE, BEATEN, TORTURED, and brutally MURDERED by 5 men? Is not MURDER MURDER? WHY are we putting a RACIAL spin on it? Are we not ALL Americans, or must we continue to live with "hyphenations" so that the "Racist Five" have a purpose in life?
Advertisement - story continues below
Whether you are white, black, Hispanic, European, or Asian, as an American citizen you have a stake in the outcome of this election… a chance to show that being an AMERICAN transcends those racial and ethnic barriers, and that we stand for the future of our children against individuals such as Obama, Holder, Jackson, Sharpton, and the myriad others who would have no more satisfaction than to see this country split apart. That is their goal… THAT is their endgame.
Throughout the course of our history, we have been challenged at every turn, thrown into constant conflict with forces that wish us not only harm, but complete annihilation. And we have prevailed. Now, once again, we find ourselves backed into a corner… thrown into a battle many of us never thought we'd see in our lifetime. This is OUR WAR. The end result will answer the question, "Can America Be Saved?"
If we fail to come together, side-by-side, providing a 360-degree defense, we will lose, and the answer will be a resounding NO! And what we can achieve was most recently illustrated during the nationwide Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day, where an estimated 10 million Americans stood in line for hours to show their support for the First Amendment rights of a fast-food restaurant owner DEMONIZED by leftist intolerance simply because he DARED express his views opposing same-sex marriage. How quickly those same people forget that in 2008, their own Messiah, Barack Obama, announced he did NOT support same-sex marriage and believed that marriage was between a man and a woman. That is what is necessary to defeat Obama in November and begin the painful process of physical, economic, social, and moral rehabilitation.
But I have faith. I have a firm belief and conviction that the same God who gave us this Nation will see us through until the end. It is His Word and His Promise. When I fall to one knee, I do so NOT in submission or surrender, but rather in prayer and thanksgiving that the Lord, Our God, has blessed me with the knowledge, strength, wisdom, and friendships to make a DIFFERENCE in this struggle. The question is, will you be there with me' We can't do this alone, and as God is my witness, I have sworn I will NOT see America fall… not here, not now in my lifetime… and not as long as I have a breath in my body and a beat left in my heart.
Advertisement - story continues below
YES, I believe America can be saved. And I believe, too, that everyone of you will stand with me before these forces of darkness and proclaim loudly, "BRING IT! This battle belongs to the Lord; WE are just the instruments of His victory."
YES… I believe America CAN be saved.God bless you all. And God bless America.

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A court order ruling that certain factual issues are already determined prior to trial, based on a motion by one of the parties, supported by evidence, contending that these issues are settled and need not be tried. For example, in a car accident case there might be overwhelming and uncontradicted evidence of the defendant's carelessness, but conflicting evidence as to the extent of the plaintiff's injuries. The plaintiff might ask for summary adjudication on the issue of carelessness, but go to trial on the question of injuries. If there is any question as to whether there is conflict on the facts on an issue, the summary adjudication must be denied regarding that matter.

Sorry started this one before but dont want to bring it up. please keep to ELO specific!
Ill start us off:
spudd: sorry this guy gets like no attention at all. i know 4 damage may seem painful at times.... but look not all card have to be oh yah big power big damage now go die! this card is a great wall great ability + bonus synergy. one more thing i would like to mention is the low minimum on this guy, that 1 pill can change a game at times.
ward hg: way overlooked due to fierce competition. honestly, at least half the time I would prefer this card to cyb lhia, since he is not limited to turn 1. look at all his counterparts, laura is 3 stars, lilou has 7 power, luba has 1 more star AND 1 less damage.
bloodh: how often do you see a card with 9 life gap capability WITH protection. people say piranas is all about pillz manip and bloodh doesnt fit into the theme blahblah bad card. I say no, leave him to last round and you will not regret having him in your deck.
liam: only viable SoA for skeelz, and very splashable in decks actually. often overlooked by redra and sasha, but I would recommend try to have all 3 in your deck.
Boohma: good in non SOA week, 7 life gap have great synergy with the +20 atk, beat 8 power until the 4th or 5th pill. High risk, high return.
Azgroth: Nightmare have many high life gap cards. A low pill win with Karrion / Cutey / Magenta and having Azgroth in your hand is often enough to win the game for you. Mawpin and Edwin are also good walls but they fail against ability SOA.

Joana: Despite being a CoP, her bonus eliminates any problems that will normally arise. Plus, she is one of the few Rescue who can face against 8 powered cards equally. Her only weaknesses deal with a power manip with SoB (which many other cards are weak too).
Wesley: One of the two Rescue power reducers (the other one is Lothar, and is good but not for elo in my opinion). When activated, his ability the opponent's power gets reduced to 4. It will take them 3 pills just to overcome Rescue's bonus! Even when his power is reduced (by say Randy or Nellie), Wesley can be a challenge to face.
KitsuneKatsumi Imperator XiongDang Sunday 13/01/2013, 23:21
I think most characters that don't get a lot of play have notable flaws but still...
(these two are better 5* Junkz than either Haze or Fuzz). Peeler is by far the most underused character in ELO.
Corvus (his flexibility of being either wall or bomb is something that Skeelz really need)
Harrow Ld (much more relevant now because he can answer copy bonus... especially as an answer to an opposing Saki)
Buck (still the most dangerous 4* Ulu, you don't want to give opponents the option of using SOA as a DR. Actually he is quite similar to Vermyn N: 5/7, same bonus, both top abilities)
Oflgn (so ridiculous now that he can teamup with T Gaank)
Owen (the min. 2 is ridiculous)
Samantha (Lea's good enough to ban?)
0_The_Oracle Imperator Open Casket Monday 14/01/2013, 07:57
Samantha is pretty bad.. seriously. look at flanagan
owen has a crappy bonus, and glenn is not even used when she is more stable and a better bonus.
oflgn has 7 power... prone to SoA, can be good in right hands but WAY too shaky
buck is prone to SoA and SoB, SoA/SoB + attack manip outright makes him seem useless
lena is used quite a bit
harrow ld is killed by SoB
dunno about corvus
as for junkz NO fuzz is defs top card....
Scrub4Lyfe Colossus Wise Men Distracted Monday 14/01/2013, 09:52
Imo you are really underrating Buck, sure SOA and SOB hurt him but neither of those things destroy his ability to win a round and inflict his 7 damage.
KitsuneKatsumi Imperator XiongDang Monday 14/01/2013, 11:04
Lehane, Flanagan, Lea and Samantha belong in the same category of cards. Obviously Lehane is exceptional and Samantha has the lowest power of the bunch, but Samantha is also in a more dangerous clan than Flanagan. Like Lea sneaks through because no one wants to waste pills beating her against Rescue, most of the time people wont waste pills on Samantha against Uppers either. She's just as annoying as Wendel, perhaps even moreso (better against All Stars), yet Wendel gets played way more. On a 2*, SOB is better than conditional SOA.
Glenn is pretty amazing but she can't KO, when Uppers has plenty of 4*s and 5*s that can KO. So she is almost never going to be held last. Owen, on the other hand, has a lower min., which makes a big difference and can often be held later because of his clan. Sentinels plays with DR characters anyway and Sentinel DRs are slightly better than the Uppers DRs. You are right that they are very similar characters. They are also both high quality 5* characters. But Owen is in a better suited clan.
Oflgn: So you think he should be an 8/5? He may be prone to SOA, but T Gaank is not.
Buck: So you have Douglas or Nanook if they come in with SOA/ SOB. Besides, even against SOA I'd rather be a 7/7 than Numar's 10/4 or Eddie's 10/3. Don't let SOA be used as DR.
Lena: I see Diana, Ditha, Charlie or even Louise played way more often than Lena.
Peeler/ Taham: Have you even tried them before?

What size cat carrier should I get?
I am picking up my little Balinese kitten in August and am wondering what size of carrier should I have for her to come home in? She will be just 2 days shy of 12 weeks old. It is going to be about an 11 hour drive and thanks to the wonderful people on here I know that I need the carrier and a small litter pan.(and a few other things) I already have a couple carriers, one that a puppy came home in. It seems huge and I have a small one that my African Grey Parrot was shipped to me in. That one seems like it would be lots big enough for a kitten but I don't really know how big a 12 week old balinese is . Can someone give me a rough estimate of the size of their cat carriers?
the bigger the better he will grow quick.
I thought I read somwhere that cats liked small close spaces but maybe I was wrong, so you think the biggest size carrier I can fit into the back of the truck (inside the pick up truck ) would be best? I can do that.
The carrier your puppy came in would be better....always the bigger the better, one that will easily accommodate a small litter pan, food dish and give enough room for a little exercise.
"We humans are indeed fortunate if we happen to be chosen to be owned by a cat." -- Anonymous
The larger of the two is the best as stated. I doubt the kitten will use the litter box while the vehicle is in motion (too much movement for unsteady kitty legs) but probably will once the vehicle has stopped for a bit. When taking your kitty to your vet you can use the smaller one.
What I would like to add is please fit the kitten with a small kitten harness before leaving the breeders'. That way when you stop to let the kitten out for a stretch (inside the vehicle) you can quickly snap a lead on the harness. In case the door is opened inadvertently when kitten is out you do not need to worry about kitten darting out. They may be tiny but they can and do panic when in unfamiliar territory. When they panic they tend to want to run. JMO
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.

i agree with others on here. When traveling always have a larger carrier. Since it is a long drive, you want your kitty to be comformtable. I am home for the summer, but i go to college in the North...which is 10 hours away. I have a medium size dog carrier..(my kitty is a fatty and overall a general a big cat for a calico) she can ly comforable, sit straight up, turn around no problem. I also line it with a comfy towel. I also have a small litter pan for her as well, that I put in every hour for a bit, then take it out..(just so she has more room)
She doesn't use the litter at all, during the 10 hour drive and we have driven it twice so far (third time coming up in the fall, for last year of school). Before I am going to do the 10 hour drive, i don't feed her as much. I don't want to upset her stomach to much on the drive, plus since I know she will not use her litter, it will decrease her having to use the washroom and make her uncomfortable (since I know she will just hold it) I do bring water, that i pour usually in tim hortons soup container, since it comes with a lid. Again, she can't be bothered to drink it.

Thanks everyone I will use the bigger one and the kitten comes with a blanket with her mother and littermates scent on it so I will put that in the carrier with her. I will be getting her a harness and long leash and i will put that on her when I get her. Thanks for all the great advice I will be asking a lot more questions as the time draws closer to getting her. I haven't posted any pictures yet because I don't really know which kitten will be mine. I do have the pick of the litter but since I am too far away to go and pick one out and they all look pretty much the same (5 blue point females and 1 flame point male) I am letting the breeder chooose for me . It will be one of the females for sure. As soon as I have a picture of her I will post it.
Let kitty choose
As a former breeder, I always found it best if the prospective owner sat on the floor and played with the kittens, usually there is one or maybe two that will consistently want to go to the person, play with the person and sit in their lap. It's best if you take your time and spent a minimum of an hour, playing, observing and talking with the breeder. IMHO, I always think you get the best connection when the kitten chooses the owner. In my experience, sometimes I was not able to pick up a new breeder personally and only saw it in pictures or a video, but it was a bloodline that I wanted to incorporate into my breeding program. I noticed that I never did have that same "soul" connection with a cat or kitten that did not choose me.
"We humans are indeed fortunate if we happen to be chosen to be owned by a cat." -- Anonymous
Catlover2 that of course would be the ideal situation but in this case I have to rely on pictures and the breeders description of the kittens as I live so far away. When I go to pick her up I am sure she will be the only kitten left as the others will have been sold and gone to their new homes by then, if by chance there are still other kittens i will definately stay a while and see if one picks me.
I have moved house several times with one or more cats and I have found that covering the carrier while travelling seems to calm the cats down. Anyways, I certainly hear fewer squeaks and squawks that way. You might also try putting a scoop or 2 of the litter that the kitten was using at the breeders in the litter pan you plan to use, familiar smell and all. Later, when you get home, you can add this to the litter pan you plan to use.
Lastly, I know this sounds strange, but I have used this method for 20 years and have never lost a cat after a move, so here goes. Once you get kitty home and before you let her explore, put some vegetable oil or butter on the tops of her paws, all 4 of them. Not enough to make a mess of your place but enough to make the fur sticky and dirty feeling to kitty. This encourages her to wash and washing is supposed to be a very calming action after a stressful event.
If you are going to use the cleaning trick then I would think butter on the front two paws are more than enough. By "explore" I hope you mean the house. Definitely not outside!

Rapid City, SD (PRWEB) April 24, 2013
South Dakota School of Mines & Technology researchers have successfully split water molecules during multiple thermochemical cycles at low temperatures, sparking hope that sustainable hydrogen energy will one day be feasible.
Rajesh Shende, Ph.D., and Jan Puszynski, Ph.D., of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, have been awarded a $299,975 National Science Foundation (NSF) three-year grant to investigate a high-temperature thermochemical water splitting process. The ultimate goal is to exponentially double hydrogen atoms, creating a sustainable amount of hydrogen regeneration so that a new form of energy can be harvested.
Using thermally-stabilized redox materials, particularly ferrites, the SDSM&T team has documented reliable multiple-cycle results, says Shende.
Just two other U.S. locations, and possibly a third, are conducting similar research, according to Shende. One of the aspects that makes the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology experiments unique is that the group has successfully split water molecules during multiple cycles at significantly lower temperatures than other documented research efforts. While others have demonstrated thermochemical splitting of the water molecule at 800-1,500 degrees Celsius, the SD School of Mines & Technology has documented higher hydrogen volume from water-splitting in multiple cycles at 700-1,100 degrees Celsius, which could potentially lead to a more affordable large-scale effort.
In addition, the School of Mines process is capable of performing water-splitting and material regeneration steps at the same temperature making the process thermally efficient. "In industry this will be more appealing," says Shende, who is filing an invention disclosure and who has published his findings in scientific magazines.
Higher temperatures normally cause particles to grow so large that hydrogen levels drop, causing very little hydrogen regeneration. The SDSM&T experimental studies look to stabilize the hydrogen levels, enhancing knowledge of the physical and chemical processes involved in thermal stabilization of redox materials' morphologies without deterioration of complex ferrites. "Others might be splitting water by other methods, but there has to be a lot of novelty to get funded," says Shende, who built a fully instrumented reactor in his campus laboratory.
Their research was featured on the NSF's Science360 News Service for Earth Day.

Through much of his diverse career, Hancock, 67, has practiced Nichiren Buddhism (pronounce nee-chee-ren), a form of the philosophy that focuses on chanting the mantra Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a path to enlightenement. It's no surprise that the Christian-raised artist would connect with a melody-based religion. Hancock recently talked to Beliefnet about how the Buddhist seed was planted in a smoky nightclub, why Buddhism is like jazz, and how the practice has taught him who he really is.
What was it like recording Joni Mitchell's songs?
Before, I almost never paid attention to lyrics. I'm so bad that when I hear a song that's sung, English is gibberish. I don't hear it. I mean, I would have to translate it from whatever the thing is that I hear to intelligible English. Because I hear it as a sound.
You've been practicing Nichiren Buddhism for a long time, right?
Yeah, 35 years.
How did that begin?
Well, back in 1972, my band was playing music that required a very intuitive sense. It was an avant-garde approach to playing jazz. So it was very much in the moment and spontaneous. We had structure, but it was a very loose structure. So we went though a period when we were vegetarians because we would keep trying to find things that would help the flow of the music. I was very open at that time.
|The Magic of Buster Williams
So the bassist Buster Williams starts playing this introduction. And what came out of him was something I'd never heard before. And not only had I not heard it from him, I'd never heard it from anybody. It was just pure beauty and ideas and—it was magical. Magical. And people were freaking out, it was so incredible what he was playing.
I let him play for a long time, maybe 10, 15 minutes. He just came up with idea after idea, so full of inspiration. And then I could feel myself waking up just before we really came in with the melody for the song. And I could tell that the whole band woke up, and there was some energy that was generating from Buster. We played the set and it was like magic. When we finished, many people ran up to the front of the stage and reached up their hands to shake ours. Some of them were crying they were so moved by the music. The music was very spiritual, too.
I knew that Buster was the catalyst for all of this, so I took him into the musicians' room, and I said, "Hey, Buster, I heard you were into some new philosophy or something and if it can make you play bass like that, I want to know what it is."

Retail investors have been sitting on the sidelines as they await some kind of resolution to the country's fiscal problems, but it won't take much to get them back into the market, TD Ameritrade CEO Fred Tomczyk, told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Friday.
"The retail investor and many businessmen are looking for leadership in Washington and they want to see some direction on the economy," the TD Ameritrade CEO said. "Companies are flush with cash and you have retail investors all in riskless assets so everybody's waiting to see where this is going to go."
With so much money on the sidelines, the bar is pretty low to getting retail investors to come back into the market, Tomczyk said.
If there's more certainty, "I'm pretty confident we're going to see the retail investor come back."
In general, He believes the market is looking for a credible debt plan that "helps in the short term but in the long run deals with the fiscal deficit." (Read More: Could Housing Be the Antidote to the 'Fiscal Cliff'?)
While the politicians continue to grapple with a deal on the looming "fiscal cliff," when about $600 billion in spending cuts and tax increases hit at the end of the year, TD Ameritrade is taking a wait-and-see approach with its business.
"We're staying very focused on organic growth, biding our time, keeping our balance sheet strong, being ready to move either when whatever is going to happen happens," Tomczyk said.

Favorite kitesurfboard dimensions for mushy waves/lightwind?
I am going to build another board before spring comes around. I have fcs fin box and fins. Will most likely use foam and make a stringer with carbon fiber strips, unless I somehow get my hands on a blank.
Looking to build a board for mushy 1-5 foot lake michigan waves. Winds 17mph or under. I like smaller boards I can do shove its on, slash, etc. (I can rip it up on my nobile kite skim but want something more for really catching waves to build)
If any of you could please share some of the specs/dimensions of the surf style boards you like the most for the mushy type waves it would be very helpful.

Gabriel's Dreamy Space
Name: Gabriel
Location: Harrisonburg, Virginia
Hi Apartment Therapy! I wanted to share my son's new big boy room with you!
When we moved into our house in 2011, Gabriel's room (along with the rest of the house) needed some TLC.
This was the first room I spent time on, because I wanted him to have a comfortable space to settle into (he was not quite two years old). In the past couple months, his room has gotten some updates, including a new big boy bed! We love his new big boy room and spend lots of time as a family, telling stories and making memories in this space.
The walls are painted with Martha Stewart Plumage. The bed (Gabriel's third birthday present and an awesome thrift store find by my Mom) was refinished in Annie Sloan chalk paint in French Linen and sealed with clear wax. The dresser was a Craig's List find ($20) that got an update with some white paint (Parchment White by Glidden).
As a child, I loved Shel Silverstein. I found his book 'Falling Up' at a thrift store and used the pages for wall art! Gabriel's room was done on a serious budget. I wanted to spend as little money as possible. I spent less than $100 (on the dresser, sheets, paint and a couple small things at the thrift store) to give Gabriel a room that we all love!
I hope you enjoyed his room!
Thanks, Katy! You can read more about Katy and Gabriel's room over at her blog, RICE Designs.
