Florida is known for two main contributions to metal: fantastic old-school death metal and Savatage. Aside from Nasty Savage, it seems as though few thrash bands from the 80's came out of Florida. 25 years later, however, the band Lacerate delivers thrashing goodness to the people in the Southeast United States. "Savage Devastation" is their first demo and sole release to this point. It is a competent effort with plenty of riffs alongside a couple of really cool covers.
Before getting to the songs, it's worth pointing out the guitar tone. Some may call it weak because it isn't punchy or in your face, but the better term for this guitar tone is buzzsaw. This sound brings back memories of Destruction and Razor, among others, and a thrash band couldn't ask for any higher compliment. Unfortunately the album is pretty quiet, but if you crank it loud enough, these guitars move to the forefront of things. The riffs tend to be pretty standard thrash fanfare. There aren't many that stick out, but there certainly aren't any that suck. Lacerate is a band that understands the art of writing riffs, and it's not hard to imagine them creating some truly deadly riffs with a bit more practice. Over top of the buzzing of the guitars comes the voice of James Brooks. His vocals epitomize thrash. They are a standard shout, which is entirely devoid of melody. This is some attempt at avoiding being completely monotone, and Brooks generally succeeds in this regard. The band could benefit from having slightly more character in the vocals, but Brooks' style is actually so simplistic that it manages to differ from many other thrash bands out there.
"Savage Devastation" consists of five original tracks aside from the two covers, and they tend to be relatively similar. There is the occasional slower moment, or rage-causing, mosh-inducing riff, but you can mostly predict what the demo sounds like before you hear it. The songs are not particularly memorable, but certain parts will stay with you after a couple of listens. The cover of Sodom's "Outbreak of Evil" is particularly interesting because it manages to be considerably tighter than the original and puts an impressive spin on the track. This was definitely an excellent choice for a cover, and Lacerate does the song justice.
Lacerate is a band that shows a lot of promise. It may appear from this review that this demo is somewhat mediocre, but that's just not the case. Unfortunately it is becoming increasingly more difficult to stand out in the metal world, particularly as a thrash band where the confines of the subgenre are so limited. With some more practice in songwriting, and a better production job, it's easy to see how Lacerate could become a top thrash band in the near future. Since this is a demo release, I really can't fault the band for anything, as they've put together a very respectable set of songs that leaves me awaiting their next output.

Please see my comments regarding the evaluation of print sources of information.
Find the gems amongst all the junk!
Putting information on the web is easy, cheap, unregulated and unmonitored!!!!
There are some real 'dogs' out there, but there's also great treasure. The burden is on you to establish the authorship, timeliness, rationale and accuracy of information on the web.
There are no editors on the web to proofread, 'send back' or reject information until it meets publishing house standards. If you want to use the web for serious research you need to cultivate the habit of questioning everything you find with critical thinking.
Skilllfully evaluating a website requires you to do two things at once:
- Train your mind to think critically, even suspiciously. Ask yourself how much a website can be trusted.
- Use a series of techniques (questions) that help you quickly find out what you need to know about websites
Authority – The Who
Web pages are all created with a purpose in mind by some person, entity or agency. They do not simply 'grow organically'. You should look for someone/organisation that claims accountability and responsibility for the content.
- Who created the website – a well known organisation or an individual?
- Does the organisation have an 'about us' 'our philosophy', 'background', 'biography' section?
- Is there an author?
- Is the author qualified? What are his/her credentials? Does he/she have sufficient authority to speak on the subject? Be aware that the page may be written by a hobbyist, self-proclaimed expert or enthusiast.
- Can you contact the author – via email, address, phone?
- Is there a sponsor? Is the sponsor reputable?
- Is it someone's personal page? Personal pages are not 'bad', but you need to evaluate the author very carefully. For personal pages, there is no publisher/organisation or domain owner vouching for the information on the page.
- Do you know the difference between an author and a webmaster?
- Know who's publishing the information:
Government site – .ie or other country code or .gov
Education site – .edu
Commercial organisation – .com
Non-profit organisation – .org
Personal – look for a personal name
Currency – The When
Is the page dated? Is there 'last updated' information?
Is the information current? This is especially important if using time-sensitive financial data. Undated factual or statistical information is useless.
Are there 'dead' links?
Is there a difference between the date the information was created and the date the website was last updated?
Objectivity – The Why
Anyone can put anything on the web for pennies in just a few minutes. It is up to you to distinguish between the reliable and the questionable. You should expect the same degree of authority and reliability from a website as you would a reputable print source such as an encyclopedia.
What is the purpose of the site? Those doing history and political essays should be aware of propaganda, bias and the existence of hate sites.
Why was it produced? – to sell, persuade, provide a service, inform/educate, entertain?
Think of the 'tone' of the page – humorous, a parody, overblown, argumentative, exaggerated, outrageous photographs. It is easy to be fooled, and this can make you look foolish in turn.
How detailed is the information?
Are there ads?
Is it objective? (see 'Accuracy')
Could the information you are about to use be distorted, exaggerated or a hoax?
Are multiple/varying viewpoints represented?
Do the pictures help explain the text?
What does the site do to grab your attention (are there gimmicks)?
Coverage – The How
How does the site look? Professional or badly put together?
Is it well written, free from grammar and spelling mistakes?
Is it easy to navigate?
Is it age-appropriate?
Accuracy – The What
In research work, the credibility of most writings is proven through footnotes or other means of revealing the sources of information. Saying what you believe without documentation is not much better than expressing an opinion. An exception is journalism from highly reputable newspapers, but these are not scholarly.
Is the information reliable? Have I used these criteria to evaluate the site?
Does it have information that I know is wrong?
Is it consistent with/corroborate other known reliable sources?
Are opinions voiced as if they are facts? Does the author back up his opinions with facts and references?
Does the site offer links to other pages on the same topic? Do they offer differing viewpoints? This is the author's invitation asking you to (favourably) compare his/her site to others'.
Does it contain a bibliography of print resources, does it cite journal articles and other relevant sources?
Is it a primary or secondary source of information?
If it is an article from a reputable journal does it have a copyright statement and permission to reprint?
Can you get the same information elsewhere from other reliable sources eg an encyclopedia, database etc?
Does it all add up?
Step back and think about all you have learned about the page. Listen to your gut reaction. If you have doubts ask a Librarian or your teacher.
Be aware of the possibility that you could be the victim of irony, spoof, fraud or other falsehoods
Ask yourself if the web is truly the best place to find the resources you need for your research.

The adult video industry's trade group, the Free Speech Coalition, today called for a voluntary halt to production after a performer initially came up HIV-positive following an STD test, the organization said.
The group said in a statement that the test result at this point only indicated a "possible" HIV infection:
The test has not yet been confirmed, and we will know if it is a true positive or false positive in the next day.
If the result turns out to be a false positive, the FSC will call on production to resume, it said. The group's suggestions for production shutdowns following STD scares are usually obeyed by the major adult studios, most of which are based in L.A.
The industry has a voluntary, twice-a-month testing protocol for performers. Most major studios won't shoot unless a performer has a recent and clean test.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
"Out of an abundance of precaution," the coalition said, "we will be retesting anyone who might have had contact with the performer within the testing window, and asking that producers stop filming until we know more."
The industry has been fighting against mandatory condom rules enacted in the city and county of Los Angeles.
The Hollywood-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation is also working on a statewide initiatives that would ask voters to approve mandatory condoms for adult performers all across California.

'Jean-Luc, we're only moving 600 people'
Who were you rooting for? Picard's crew? Dougherty? Ru'afu? or did your heartbeat slow in time for the Ba'Ku?) Why is Worf feeling aggressive tendencies?
Live Long and Prosper, Trekkers and Trekkies.
It wasn't a strong movie, but I could watch those guys sit around a table and belch and be entertained.
Sci-Fi magazine broke the news Arnold Schwarzenegger was to have a cameo which never materialized, sadly. Arnie would have rocked this movie to bits which is what the Ba'Ku needed, Alex.
I think Alex hit the nail on the head. This was such a tight, well-liked cast. I wish they had one more, proper send-off film....
Ru'Afu was named one of the greatest Star Trek and he was. Especially the face stretching scene.
I like it - it's not as good as First Contact - but let's be honest - it's got Nemesis beat all hollow!
I felt like this movie lacked some of the epic scope previous installments went for, but it made for a pretty decent episode.
I've not seen this one. I might, but it didn't seem that interesting compared to some of the other movies.
I think it simply backfired on them, a movie that was the exact opposite of First Contact. Naturally I love it.
I'll go with Alex's comment :)
Happy A to Z-ing

Hello! My dad has all the Star Trek movies so I know I've seen this one but I can't really remember it. My favorite ST was with the first crew, The Voyage Home. I'm really liking the recent Star Trek reboot, too.
Happy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines

|Me, after about a week in Utah's climate
But. I have made my home in the Land of Rain, where it is fairly humid most of the year, and I've gotten acclimated to nine months of gentle drizzle punctuated by occasional sunbreaks. I am no longer inured to Utah's high-desert climate, where you can feel the aridity sucking all the juices out of your eyes, nose and mouth, where you wake up in the morning gasping for water, where your hair turns into a thatch of dried split ends and your skin grows so chapped that hand lotion becomes a necessity, not a nicety. And that's after three days. Even walking around in an unusually wet snow for the state, you can feel yourself slowly dehydrating.
Will write later... gotta go find a glass of water.

What is Byetta?
What is Byetta Used For?
If you have Type 2 diabetes, you've probably heard about a relatively new treatment called Byetta. But what is Byetta exactly?
Byetta is an injectable diabetes medication that helps improve and control blood sugar levels when combined with dietary changes and exercise. Byetta is not insulin. It is part of a new class of drugs known as incretin mimetics. It is a man-made hormone that increases the secretion of insulin, reduces glucagons and slows the absorption of glucose.
Controlling blood sugar levels is vital for your overall well-being and for keeping serious, even fatal, diseases at bay. When left untreated, high blood sugar can lead to serious health complications such as kidney failure, heart disease, eye disease, diabetic impotence, and loss of sensation in the feet that can lead to amputations.
Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent thirst and urination, confusion, drowsiness, rapid breathing, "fruity" breath odor, sweating, shaking, fast heartbeat, hunger, blurred vision, dizziness, and tingling hands and feet.
Byetta Side Effects
Byetta was touted as a breakthrough treatment for Type 2 diabetes when it was first released in 2005. However, since 2007, Byetta has been linked to side effects that range from mild to serious to fatal.
The following symptoms are among the most common, and mild, side effects of Byetta:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Feeling jittery
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Acid stomach
- Constipation
- Weakness
In the last few years, the side effects of Byetta have been the subject of serious concern – and mounting lawsuits from patients all across the U.S.
Byetta's more serious side effects could include the onset of serious allergic reactions and severe health complications, including:
- Acute pancreatitis
- Hemorraghic pancreatitis
- Hemorraghic pancreatitis
- Kidney damage
- Kidney failure
An FDA alert about the possible link between Byetta use and acute pancreatitis was issued in 2007. Acute pancreatitis can be severe and even fatal. The warning recommended that healthcare professionals advise patients of the possible health risks and requested Amylin Pharmaceuticals to precautionary information on the drug's label.
Later that year, the FDA issued an update, warning professionals and the public of Byetta's possible link to hemorraghic and necrotizing pancreatitis when doses were increased from 5 micrograms twice a day to 10 micrograms twice a day. In 2009, the FDA issued yet another warning; this time it warned of kidney dysfunction and acute renal failure.
In 2011, the news about Byetta intensified. A study by the University of California, Los Angeles, indicated that Byetta could increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 290% and thyroid cancer by 473%.
Symptoms of pancreatic cancer are weight loss, dark urine, clay-colored stools, back pain and jaundice. Symptoms of thyroid cancer include cough, difficulty swallowing, thyroid gland enlargement, hoarse voice and neck swelling.
The FDA has not officially recalled Byetta but continues to review studies and issue health warnings to health professionals and patients about potential problems. It has also recommended that Amylin Pharmaceuticals place precautionary notices on Byetta packaging.
Byetta Lawsuit
It's estimated that over 7 million prescriptions have been made for Byetta. Although numerous studies have shown a causal relationship between Byetta and serious side effects, it is still available by prescription today.
A serious illness can be physically, emotionally and financially devastating. Insurance may not cover all the costs of expensive medical treatments, and it can add up fast. Taking time off work means lost income. If you lost a loved one, funeral expenses, loss of future income and benefits may be adding stress to your grief.
Filing a Byetta lawsuit is one way to fight back. A Byetta lawyer could help get financial recourse for victims who have developed pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer and pancreatitis.
Thousands of unknowing patients who took Byetta and developed these conditions have filed lawsuits against Amylin based on the following claims:
- Amylin failed to adequately warn patients about potential side effects
- Amblyn failed to advise physicians about the importance of monitoring changes to the pancreas
- Amylin failed to sufficiently test Byetta before releasing it into the market
- Amylin failed to recall Byetta, even after it became apparent that the risks outweigh the benefits
If you or someone you know has taken Byetta and have developed serious health problems as a result, talk to a lawyer about filing a Byetta lawsuit. You have rights to protect, and a Byetta lawyer could help you recover financial compensation for your pain and suffering.

Kill With Hate are a band from Hungary that plays a very heavy and brutal form of death metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "Voices Of Obliteration" which was released by PRC Music.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of brutal sounding blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast death metal riffs that are very heavy, dark and brutal sounding, while the lead guitars are very chaotic sounding death metal guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars they are only used on one song and use finger picking to add a dimension of darkness to the recording.
Vocals are mostly deep death metal growls with some high pitched screams as well as a brief use of spoken word samples, while the lyrics cover death, violence and murder themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy, brutal and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Kill With Hate are a very great sounding brutal death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Beast Within" "Pray For War" "Speech Of The Defendant" and "Internal" which is an Extreme Deformity cover. RECOMMENDED BUY.

Hey guys,
My name is Jobin and this is my first year at the BCRC. I see that msyed(sorry I don't know your actual name) was talking about a new poster , well I've been working on one for the Biology Imagery outside of the BCRC. I have a couple of pictures that were on Umass Biology departments website and was wondering if you guys have any input. I'll make a list of which ones I have now and send them out in my next blog post but if you see one that really catches your eye then give me a heads up. Also if anyone has any pictures from a lab they may work at and want that to be included then send that over with a brief description.

creeley needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 151 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
I'm a certified personal trainer and level 1 USAT triathlon coach starting my own personal training/coaching business. One of my projects is a mobile boot camp that I'm calling "F.I.T.Camp." I'm a former collegiate athlete, current marathoner, personal trainer and triathlete. I love being active and motivating others to be active as well. I want to share my passion for physical fitness with others.
F.I.T.Camp is an hour long boot camp style workout for people of all ages and abilities. I'm looking to target those wannabe athletes regardless of skill level - anyone who likes being active can participate in F.I.T.Camp. In my geographical area the majority of my clients will be in their late 20's through late 40's. The breakdown of male to female participants is 30/70.
Looking for a bold, eye catching logo design that conveys integrity and professionalism while still being fun.
Logo should be very clean but not stark or vacant.
Here is my current site: http://www.fitcampnh.com
It's clean and concise. I want to keep it that way so it's easy for people to get the info they are looking for but I would like for the logo to give the site a little more personality and be very recognizable when used alone on print materials (flyers, t-shirts, etc.)
I would prefer the logo not contain any clip art or cartoons.
Please feel free to experiment with fun colors and fonts!

I believe a DataModel must be a List. Why did you change it to Set?
2. Re: DataModel: Row is not availableMichael Robinson Apr 16, 2007 9:33 PM (in response to Fabricio Lemos)
Is the documentation incorrect?
seam reference docs wrote:
Exposes an attribute of type List, Map, Set or Object[] as a JSF DataModel into the scope of the owning component...
I believe that the standard JSF datatable only supports a limited number of types (not java.util.Set ) which seems to cause problems for one-to-many relationships where the "most natural" type of association is a Set. The hibernate documentation seems to really make a point of this being the most correct mapping where there are not any duplicates but then you can't render it using the stock datatable. The last time I tried it the MyFaces implementation actually "incorrectly" supported the rendering of a Set within a datatable but there were discussions about "fixing" the implementation to not support it.
Can you show how you add to the Collection? and mabye the .xhtml (assuming Facelets)

The "insertStep" commandButton shows another page where I can insert a Step and then go back to the UseCase page. The problem is that the UseCase page does not show the Step added.
When Step collection was a List, the application did work OK.

Charles Krauthammer on The Syrian Vote and the President's Speech
Charles Krauthammer interview Audio
HH: As the Syria crisis continues to deepen, we continue to analyze it. We will bring you any updates as they occur. I begin the coverage today with Charles Krauthammer, whose Washington Post column today excoriated the President as being deeply unserious. Charles, welcome, it's always a pleasure to speak with you.
CK: I'm happy to be here.
HH: Did the President say anything in Russia today that changed your opinion that you argued in the Post column today?
CK: No. He can speak for 50 minutes and leave you with the impression that nothing happened. It's sort of where I was today.
HH: This is occurring on the 70th anniversary to the day, Charles, of Winston Churchill speaking at Harvard in the middle of the War in 1943. I'd like to play a minute and a half of that for you, and get your comment on it, and then go back to your column. Here's Churchill at Harvard 70 years ago today:
WC: Twice in my lifetime the long arm of destiny has reached across the oceans and involved the entire life and manhood of the United States in a deadly struggle. There was no use in saying "We don't want it; we won't have it; our forebears left Europe to avoid these quarrels; we have founded a new world which has no contact with the old. "There was no use in that. The long arm reaches out remorselessly, and every one's existence, environment, and outlook undergo a swift and irresistible change. What is the explanation, Mr. President, of these strange facts, and what are the deep laws to which they respond? I will offer you one explanation – there are others, but one will suffice. The price of greatness is responsibility. If the people of the United States had continued in a mediocre station, struggling with the wilderness, absorbed in their own affairs, and a factor of no consequence in the movement of the world, they might have remained forgotten and undisturbed beyond their protecting oceans: but one cannot rise to be in many ways the leading community in the civilized world without being involved in its problems, without being convulsed by its agonies and inspired by its causes. If this has been proved in the past, as it has been, it will become indisputable in the future. The people of the United States cannot escape world responsibility. Although we live in a period so tumultuous that little can be predicted, we may be quite sure that this process will be intensified with every forward step the United States make in wealth and in power. Not only are the responsibilities of this great Republic growing, but the world over which they range is itself contracting in relation to our powers of locomotion at a positively alarming rate.
HH: At an alarming rate, Charles Krauthammer, and this is really the argument of the interventionists, I think. It's my argument. I think it's Kristol's argument. The United States cannot afford a no vote here. Isn't that what Churchill was saying, the United States can't escape its responsibilities?
CK: Well, there is a guy, I have respect for their point of view here, for the more interventionist view. But there is a difference of scale between the Second World War and the Syrian Civil War. That was an existential struggle where the future of civilization was surely in the balance. It could be that Syria will develop into a World War I-like world conflict, but that is fairly unlikely right now. It is not a conflict in which the existence of ways of life is at stake. So I'm willing to grant that, and I'm willing there are reasons for staying out, and I think they've been articulated by the opponents. The reason I'm for staying out is because this President doesn't know what he's doing. And he, unless he says in public that he is, if you're going to use the military, you use it for effect. And if the effect is to alter the balance and the trajectory of the civil war so that Assad falls, and therefore Hezbollah, Iran and others are set back, then I am all in favor of this. But I need to hear it from the President, and I don't hear it. I certainly don't hear it from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. It isn't that America has to act here. The world is absolutely passive. The whole notion of the international community is a ridiculous fiction that liberals have invented. There is no international community. There's the United States and their allies, and all the rest of the world have different national interests, and don't give a damn about stuff that we give a damn about, like chemical weapons, international norms and international decency. The question is will we act in this affair in our own national interest, because we perceive it that way? If we do, then we have to do something serious. So my argument is simply about seriousness. If Obama wants to do something real, I'm all for it. It looks as if he wants to do nothing, surely judging him from the last two years. That's been the message of everything he's done, including his astonishing zigzag on Saturday when he tossed it all over to Congress.
HH: Agreed. Now Michael Moynihan, obviously it isn't World War II, yet. Michael Moynihan has made the argument this is the equivalent of the Spanish Civil War. It is the prelude. It is the opening act. It's the overture. And the part of your column that struck me is when you were talking about how deterrence works in the Middle East. And Israel hasn't been attacked by Syria in 30 years, because they know what would follow, like Eisenhower said to Korea, surely as day follows night, destruction. And so the question is, if the President doesn't act, and he blames Congress, because Congress did not vote for this, and he walks away, how does, I'm looking at the picture of Khamenei on the new Foreign Affairs article. I don't know if you've had a chance to read this, yet, very troubling. How do they perceive us? And I think they perceive us much worse, that they may act much more aggressively, right down to acts of terrorism against us via their agents of influence, like the one they were planning in Mexico last year to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador. I think we invite escalation.
CK: I would argue that if we do a pinprick, it's even worse. If Assad walks out of the smoke and the ashes three days later, vindicated, laughing at the United States, showing how the U.S., the muscle-bound giant, is too afraid to do anything serious, that's worse. What do you think was the result, the psychological effect of the equivalent, which was 1998, two embassies were blown to bits in Africa, al Qaeda takes responsibility. Bill Clinton comes back from the Vineyard, this is during the Lewinsky affair, and he lobs a few Cruise missiles at, what, a million and a half dollars each, into empty, $10 dollar tents in Afghanistan. That energized al Qaeda. That made the U.S. look absolutely feckless. If we had done nothing, you could say well, you know, we're preparing for something else, we're going to do something serious. But to make the big stand, to give the big speeches he did from the Oval Office, we're not going to stand around to do what is essentially nothing is worse. I'd rather keep my powder dry and let them know we're watching them, maybe given that there'll be a more serious argument within the Congress, and in the administration, of doing something serious about this. So I don't take the conclusion that lobbing a missile or two into an empty building, and you and I know they're empty, because they've been given the target list.
HH: Yes.
CK: Is it going to achieve anything, not just militarily, but anything psychologically?
HH: That is a very good argument. My response would be that if the President does that, exactly what happens, but that Congress will, he won't mind that. He does not mind that, so Congress can't allow him that opportunity to scale back and actually be more feckless than you talk about, because if he walks out of the ashes, then Congress will be able to bash him for doing that, for allowing that to happen. But if he doesn't, if he acts with a pinprick after Congress doesn't back him up, or if he does nothing at all, I just think these guys go crazy. Let me ask you this. This is very important. Is there anything he can say on Tuesday night, Charles Krauthammer, that would change your mind? What would you have to hear him say?
CK: I would like to hear him say what he said to Graham and to McCain in the Oval Office when they met last week, which is yes, I think, well, I do want to alter the balance, we're going to hit him pretty hard, we're going to send trainers right down to the rebels, we're going to send them serious weapons, anti-tank and anti-aircraft. We know the rebels are problematic, but…and this is a completely different and longer argument, and I'm afraid we're not going to have enough time. I think if you have to choose the evils here, it is clear that the rebels are far the lesser of two evils than the Shiite-Iranian-Hezbollah-Assad axis, with Russia behind it.
HH: Yes, thank you.
CK: Infinitely less dangerous.
HH: Thank you.
CK: I mean, that, I think, is the weakest of all the arguments, oh, they're all bad guys. We supported Stalin against Hitler, and it was the right choice, the second worst man on Earth against the first. Those are the choices that statesmen have to make. So I'm not, I mean, if he got up there, the President, on Tuesday night, and said I think we need to alter the course of this war, we're not going to do it by joining it on the ground, but we can do it with the weapons, the training, the bombing that we will do, if he told me they were going to tell me, he wouldn't say it, but if they ended up with this attack, let's say a three day attack, wiping out the six main air bases around Damascus, as the Southern Commander of the rebels is quoted as saying to David Ignatius in the Post today, the Washington Post, if we used our air power to make them inoperable, and we can do it, you hit the planes, you hit the helicopters and you hit the runways, you hit the fuel depots and you hit the command structure, and you do that, that will be a terrible blow to the regime. He does that, he sends trainers, he sends arms, then I'm on board. That's what I want to hear.
HH: Charles Krauthammer, easily the most influential of conservative commentators, I'll bet you he reads this transcript very closely. Thank you, Charles.
End of interview.

E.ON Climate and Renewables (EC&R) has signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with officials from the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of the Navy to relocate 29 proposed wind turbines for a planned wind project in Oregon.
EC&R has proposed 223 wind turbines in Wasco and Sherman counties, and the MOA aims to avoid adverse impacts on Navy flight training near the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility Boardman. In addition, the agreement stipulates height restrictions of the transmission line to 120 feet above ground level.
'As wind energy increasingly contributes to the nation's energy portfolio, it will be vital to maintain positive relationships with developers to protect critical Navy capabilities,' says Rear Admiral Kevin Slates, director of the Chief of Naval Operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division. 'We're pleased with the outcome of this agreement and hope to use a similar approach as we work with other wind developers throughout the country.'
This represents the second such agreement between the Navy and EC&R. In 2012, the two parties signed an MOA protecting the flight training mission at naval air stations Corpus Christi and Kingsville in Texas.
'We appreciate the relationship we've established with the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense,' says EC&R's Paul Bowman. 'We hope to maintain this relationship and continue to work together to develop projects that are compatible with the Navy mission, while increasing the nation's renewable energy supply.'

Costa Rica's climate is best described as a temperate tropical climate. There are no pronounced seasons, as the average temperature throughout the country ranges between 71 F and 81 F year round. There are only two seasons: the rainy season and the dry season.
The dry season runs from December to the end of April. During this time, the weather in Costa Rica is warm and sunny, with the warmest months being in March and April. The rainy season lasts from May to the end of November, during which sunshine in the morning often turns into rain in the afternoon. There does tend to be a brief dry spell in July and August; however, the heavy rains of September and October easily make up for it.

Jim Palmer choked up when talking about his autistic son. Fellow Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins paid tribute to the Philadelphia Phillies scout who signed him. Tom Lasorda showed he could still make a room full of people laugh.
But Vin Scully was the undisputed star on Saturday night at the Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation's annual fundraising dinner.
The 1,000-plus people who packed the banquet hall at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza stood and applauded when Bud Selig introduced Scully, who received a leadership award named after the baseball commissioner.
Scully tried to calm down the crowd.
"It's only me," he said.
The Hall of Fame broadcaster proceeded to tell a story about a Native American who wanted to test the manhood of his tribesmen by making them run up the side of the mountain. The room turned silent.
"Early on the appointed morning, four Braves left camp at sunrise," Scully said. "Later that afternoon, one of the Braves came back with a twig of spruce. Later still, another came with a bough of pine. And it was late in the afternoon when a third Brave arrived with an alpine shrub. It wasn't until late at night by a full moon that the fourth Brave arrived back in camp.

"I lost my sight when I was one year six months old," said Ms. Wirba Amshatu Verbe, currently a transformative leader, mentor and education trainer at the Government Teachers Training College (GTTC), Buea.
For over 30 thirty years now, Ms. Amshatu does not know what an ordinary print paper, notebook or an ink pen looks like. Braille and computer has been her sole weapon for communication.Grew up in an all-inclusive environment, less sensitivity towards persons with visual impairment, Amshatu had always believed in education as the key for growth and community development.
"Even as a teenager, I believed in teaching as a tool for empowerment. Though disabled, I knew it was not an inability!" She said.
In 2003, Ms. Amshatu made a turning point in her professional life; challenging the status quo and all those who believed that university education was not meant for persons visually challenged. At such became the first student with visual impairment to gain admission into the University of Buea (UB), where she received a BEd (Bachelor of Education Degree) in Curriculum Studies and Teaching/ History (CST/History) in 2006.
Even so, Ms. Amshatu`s pursuit for greater knowledge did not just stop after her BEd. Her desire for teaching continued heavily, so too was her struggle. In a quest to take, her passion to the next level she spent closed to three academic years; that is from 2007 to 2009, struggling and writing the ENS [Higher Teachers Training College] annual entrance examination. Where she finally made it in 2009 and again, became the first visually impaired person to have participated in the teachers training competitive examination (orals and written) as well as to have succeeded and been granted admission at ENS Bambili, North West Region of Cameroon. Note, all these were achieved after a series of negotiation with top government officials.
Two years later, Ms. Amshatu graduated with a DIPEN II (Teachers Training Diploma) in Science of Education from ENS, Bambili (2011) and was posted to Government Teachers Training College (GTTC), Buea in 2012, where she now teaches Education/Child Psychology.
"My life, my struggle has not been easy. I remembered when I spoke to people about my interest in ENS, some friends/colleagues advised me not to. People said I would never be allowed to seat for the examination, talking of gaining admission. Someone asked me how I intend to teach non-blinds as a blind," says Amshatu giggling with an emotional facial expression. "They even advised me to teach in the Re-habilitation Institute for the Blind Buea. Whereas, deep inside me, I knew that was not my place. I could feel my calling - to teach non-blinds. And that is exactly where I am today! Though I co-teach with a sighted colleague who corrects the scripts."At GTTC, Ms. Amshatu now coaches over 250 young men and women aspiring civil servants, Nursery and Primary teachers.
Ms. Susana Akango, student of Ms. Amshatu says - "the first day Ms. Amshatu came to class, I knew she is so special and unique. She is always so active, interactive, and engaging with us the student."
"Ms. Amshatu is the first visually impaired tutor who has ever taught me. And each day we have lectures, there is something new I learn from her. She is God sent for humanity especially to persons in this teaching core," says Mr. Ebong Blaise, a first-year student teacher at GTTC Buea.
Indeed Ms. Amshatu is a special person, intelligent, and equal to all task, Mrs. Enow Achare, a co-colleague to Ms. Amshatu says: "I have been teaching for over 24 years but co-teaching with Ms. Amshatu is my first experience though I have background knowledge as far as special education is concern. And I enjoy each and every teaching moment with her."
Through Amshatu`s mentorship, one young visually challenged woman is now at ENS Bambili, a place that at first was for the sighted.
Ms. Isabel Foyenka, a first year ENS student, and one of Amshatu`s mentee in a telephone interview with me, she says: "Amshatu is more of a sister to a friend. Her story motivated me to pursuit my education. Even after I succeeded in the entrance examination, she has continued to give me words of encouragement. She told me of the challenges, obstacles but that I needed to be perseverance."
Especially as "Teachers at ENS are yet to be used to persons with visual impairment." Isabel added, "Things have not been easy as expected. I can`t count the numbers of times I keep reminding my teachers that whenever they write or draw on the board they should not forget that I can`t see."
Amshatu is the last-born and the fourth girl in a family of six. Hailing from a polygamous home, being the only child with visual impairment in her family, she hopes to see women and men visually challenged face their fear and go for their dream. "I also want to see visually impaired persons begin to challenge our society that thinks when somebody is blind, it means his or her brain is blind too, or that everything has ended for that person." She said.
Raised by a supportive, and disability friendly family, Amshatu says it helped her overcame the stigma and complex feeling of not belonging. However, the stress of coping without particular needs, she says, remains a major impediment for self-growth. "For instance, the lack of access to brailed textbooks, assistive devices like a laptop [computer], printer, and a scanner has greatly limited me from reaching out to a wider audience likewise bringing spotlight to my powerful story for change."
Again she explains, "Each time I have to prepare my lesson note I book in advance for a computer from a friend at the Rehabilitation Institute for the Blind or the University of Buea [UB] UNESCO Lab. This can take me days or even a week to prepare a one-day lecture. Meanwhile, in cases where I need to search online, I can even take several weeks as I would need to ask for someone to take me to the cyber, where [s]he will assist in googling for the information I need, save it in my flash-drive. Which I shall later take to either the Rehabilitation Centre or UNESCO Lab and read since their computers have reading aids; I mean special computer software for persons with visual impairment."
So far, Amshatu`s works and activism has helped shape the teaching environment in some Anglophone Cameroon academic institutions as provision are now being made to assist persons with special needs.
She therefore remains a living testimony that persons with visual impairment can do home chores, travel and work all by themselves as well as becoming part of social transformation [change]
If you would like to contact Amshatu, email her at: firstname.lastname@example.com or through her cousins at firstname.lastname@example.com or through ZoFem at: email@example.com for inspiring articles - log-on http://zofem.blogspot.com
If I were to run a restaurant, it would be for non-waste food eaters.
This morning, on a 3hrs transit to another province, I decided to stopped by my mum`s restaurant so i helped her out. And I was assigned to gather dishes,and remove/dump food crumbs into the waste bin. after a few dumps, I decided to pile all the crumbs on another plate, prepared it as though it was to be served then took it to the eating hall and just placed it on the table.
Amusingly, one customer asked: "my girl, is that my plate of food?"...before he could finish speaking another person just interrupted asking "who`s plate is that?"
I was indeed shocked but at the same time pleased. so, i approached these persons and whispered to them--"you see that plate,it is waste food-WASTE FOOD by customers like you!"Then I asked them-why do you people waste food? Do you know this is deprivation of some other people who would come here and want to eat but will be told that food is finish?meanwhile, it is all in the waste bin!!!
Anyway, after the little show, my mum asked me to take the dumped food to a place where to birds will eat, and that is what she always does. A place with at least closed to 100 grass / palms birds.

I have been off work for 2 weeks recovering from knee surgery. I had high hopes of getting a lot of painting and terrain done. I have gotten some done, but its more difficult than I expected.
I did finish up a couple of things today. The first is some French figures, the Bolt Action Miniatures Defenders of France box and a Hotchkiss machine gun and crew.
I like the figures. They painted up pretty well, given my limited painting ability. My group does Victory Decision for WWII gaming. I don't think the French supplement is out for that yet. I still have a French light tank to paint, and will probably get more infantry as well.

Enterprise shares of Chf Solutions Inc (CHFS) have seen the Rank Correlation Indicator climb higher over the past 3 trading days, suggesting that it could be nearing a turning point if the reading crosses the 80 mark.
The Rank Correlation Indicator, or RCI will find the highest high and the lowest low with a given range and will find out if the security is over or undervalued. It is very much like Stoachastic but with different time periods. Created by Charles Spearman, the indicator oscillates between +100 and -100. At +100 there is a maximum positive correlation between rising price and date. However, if the indicator shows -100, the price falls continuously while the date continues to rise. There is hence a maximum negative correlation. The interpretation is analogous to that for other oscillators. If RCI is higher than 80 (overbought), then a sell signal is triggered, and if RCI is lower than -80 (oversold), a buy signal is given.
Successful traders often craft disciplined strategies when dealing with the equity market. These strategies can range from very simple to very complex.

Info / RIBA Sustainability Hub: Online Portal for Sustainability Information
This web-based resource, which offers users a platform for learning and discussion, was developed by the Institute to engage the architectural community with sustainability as an inspiration for design, and to pitch green design as an emerging business opportunity.
The content of the Sustainability Hub will initially be centred around four core elements:
– A comprehensive set of design strategies illustrating how to embed the strategy through the conceptual stages of design.
– Relevant and inspiring case studies focusing on the design process, not just the finished building.
– A blog introducing the latest projects and ideas relating to sustainability, content updates, and discussion regarding the experience of RIBA members. High-profile guest bloggers will also be featured alongside a number of regular contributors.
– An expanding series of short films tied into the design strategies, each focusing on one architect, building and design strategy.
The RIBA has ambitious plans for the future growth of the hub, to include book reviews, discussion platforms, related events, and a directory of education and CPD opportunities.

While Fools should generally take the opinion of Wall Street with a grain of salt, it's not a bad idea to take a look at particularly stock-shaking analyst upgrades and downgrades -- just in case their reasoning behind the call makes sense.
What: Shares of Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ:WFM)slipped a bit this morning after Goldman Sachs downgraded the natural foods retailer from "buy" to "neutral."
So what: Along with the downgrade, analyst Stephen Grambling planted a price target on Whole Foods of $57 (from $66), pretty much exactly where the stock sits now. While contrarian traders might be attracted to yesterday's big pullback -- triggered by weak sales guidance -- Grambling believes the upside remains limited given the stock's still-lofty valuation and softening top line.
Now what: Goldman lowered its 2014 EPS estimate for Whole Foods from $1.79 to $1.71 and from $2.19 to $2.03. "While we still view WFM as a secular winner with continued opportunity for store growth and margin expansion, we are lowering our comp estimate to reflect the softer top-line trajectory relative to broader industry trends," Goldman noted. "Furthermore, with shares still trading at 34X our downwardly revised but above guidance NTM EPS estimate, we believe a Neutral rating is warranted and would look for a better entry point, all else being equal." But while Whole Foods is certainly no bargain, the recent pullback might be giving Fools a chance to purchase some quality growth at a reasonable price.

Little Bit loves to play Connect 4. We can play 15 to 20 games in a row. The problem is, she doesn't get the concept of the game. She likes to take turns (great skill) and fill the entire board up, then poke each one out the bottom. So I am not completely bored, I try to get as many four in a rows, while not allowing her to get any. LOL. Sounds easy but it's not. I try to make these game marathons interesting!
Yesterday I just couldn't play another game so I tried to get her to make patterns with the pieces instead. She liked it. I then tried to do some freehand shapes with her but it was a bit too much, so instead I drew the shapes on paper so she could follow the outline. It worked well. She would make the shape and tell me what it was. We even got some math in there for the making the square (I put X's on the square outline so she would know how many to put on each side).
Do you re purpose the games at your house?

The history of the Pantanal region actually begins with the legend of El Dorado. Portuguese settlers in the 16th century heard from many Indians about the great white king who lived in the gold kingdom beyond 'the Great Mountains' (the Andes). As the Spanish advanced through Central America, a few Portuguese adventurers gathered an army of Indians and in the first attempt marched through the Peabiru, an Indian road that cut through central Brazil until the Andes. This army got to the borders of the Inca's territory and attacked many Inca border towns, sacking all the gold and silver they could. When they were returning to the central base, which today is in Uruguay, they passed through the Pantanal and were amazed by its beauty. Unfortunately on the way back they were attacked by the fierce Paraguay Indians and almost all of them got killed. A second expedition decided to try to go by boat, because they had received stories from the survivors, descriptions of a huge land full of rivers, where they could navigate and certainly avoid the terrible Paraguay Indians. By boat they could also carry more weaponry that would help them conquer the great Indian kingdom that was full of gold. This second expedition couldn't fulfill its objective, but while navigating through the Prata River the Portuguese reached the Pantanal and started to navigate its rivers, demarcating them and drawing the first maps of the region. The region, originally inhabited by Indian tribes, was developed by Brazilian Bandeirantes, Portuguese descendants who came to the area as gold diggers and slave hunters at the beginning of the 18th century. Many Indian tribes faced extermination. After the war with Paraguay in 1864 some newcomers, impressed by the beauty of the land they had found, engaged in extensive cattle raising, small farming, fishing and hunting activities that had little effect on the region. In 1914 the northwest railroad was built to connect the area with other Brazilian states. Since it was still a remote area, not much happened until the 20th century.

Visiting Ireland independently works well for some people, but if you feel more comfortable with a guide and driver, small group tours of Ireland are a great alternative.
Information about three of the best companies offering such tours is below. Each company has a variety of itineraries for different lengths of time, and they all cater to various travel styles. As such, it should be easy to find a tour that works best for your trip.
Vagabond Tours
Vagabond Tours is an award-winning tour company that specializes in small group tours of Ireland. Vagabond offers tours with an active, outdoor focus and lots of opportunities for adventure travel in Ireland. Their 12-day Giant Irish Adventure Tour offers an action-packed itinerary with activities like horseback riding and sea kayaking.
They also have a brand called Driftwood Tours, which focuses on discovery. Driftwood offers trips like an 11-day Discover Ireland Tour. It gives a comprehensive overview of the country that focuses on Irish tradition, culture, history, and food. Both Driftwood and Vagabond also offer private tours of Ireland that can be tailored to your specifications.
Tauck Tours
While most of Tauck's tours are for larger groups, they offer several small group tours throughout the year for a supplement. Their pricing is slightly higher than that of some other companies, but they also include more in the overall price, so the value for money is still good.
Tauck offers a comprehensive 14-day tour of Ireland called The Best of Ireland. It starts in Shannon and covers most of the coastal areas of both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Wolfhound Adventure Tours
Wolfhound features small-group tours of Ireland with an active focus. Daily hikes and bike rides take participants through the Irish countryside, allowing them to enjoy it up close. There are opportunities for other activities like horseback riding as well.
There is a lot of flexibility and choice involved in Wolfhound's tours, so you can make them as active (or not) as you want to. Wolfhound also offers private tours.

|I had absolutely no intention of making the two inch finished basket blocks that Temecula Quilt Company recently posted. Then my quilting bud, Nancy B. sent me this photo of her adorable little red block.
Naturally, I developed a case of Teeny, Tiny Block Envy!
They're pretty little compared to my 12.5 and 4.5 inch blocks on the design wall.
And they are so darn cute!!
The instructions for the blue blocks were to use the same background throughout. I'm using charms squares so my blocks are scrappy. I'm not sure how that will work out with the final setting, but I guess I will know on the 31st.
I have all the blocks cut out and set up on block boards next to my sewing machine. I won't be doing one block per day, but will get several done as I have time and hopefully they will all be complete by the end of the month.
Anyone else making these little cuties? Are you doing the scrappy blocks or the blues?

Teeny, tiny blocks

These are just lovely Karen - those blue & white fabrics are perfect for the little baskets! I just blogged about the ONE block I made - and I'm calling it quits cuz they're just too small for me! LOLReplyDelete
I'm making them, too. I have them all cut out--now to start the sewing.ReplyDelete
I'm making them too. The first one was just to see if I could do it. By then I was hooked. Mine are scrappy.ReplyDelete
I'm doing them also...they are so much fun! I'm doing scrappy with Kona Natural background. FUN!ReplyDelete
Those are incredibly adorable. I like the scrappy backgrounds. I haven't tried these .. gads, I've got way too many things to finish before I start one more new thing!ReplyDelete
Love them! I've seen a few blogs showing these little baskets in different colorways... but, I think I like your scrappy blues the best! Showing them next to the PG blocks certainly puts the size of them in perspective! :-)ReplyDelete
Those all are incredibly adorable. Thank you for sharing that.ReplyDelete

I am a sucker for all things celebratory. I love holiday quilts, I am usually drawn to holiday items when I visit my fabric stores. When I saw this birthday cake, ice cream cone table runner, it was love at first sight! I have a special affection for cakes, since I am to cake making aficionado. This was going to be my 3rd quilt, but I didn't want to have to buy a lot of fabric. As you can see, there are a lot of different pieces and a lot of different colors. I wanted everything to look well together, I just didn't want to spend the money. I was pretty apprehensive about using mostly scraps and how it would turn out and look together. I did buy the cake fabric (look it's sprinkles!), and the ice cream cone/scoop fabric. Everything else, I hit up my mom's stash!
I finished this quilt in September 2012. I didn't have a back for it until April 2013! Again, I didn't want to spend more money. My mom said that I should sew strips of fabric together to make a back. Sounded easy enough! This is what I ended up with, a back that is almost as cute as the front of the quilt!!! I really like the scrappy, colorful, happy back! Check out the quilt job. This is someone I used for the first time (my mom's friend). We dropped the quilt off around May and just got it at the end of August! Ha ha luckily I was in no hurry and she really took her time to quilt this beautifully. I love all the details, including the variegated thread on the back! I can not wait to use this for my next birthday celebration!

Reneuron, a Scottish company, has started clinical trials using neural stem cells taken from an aborted foetus. The trials are aimed at repairing the brains of stroke victims. [Reuters, 16 November] http://reut.rs/d2PzZ1 Dr James L. Sherley, a leading American stem cell expert who advises SPUC, commented: "Even if bone fide pure neural stem cells were available from ethically consented donors, why would any competent researcher suggest that cells taken from one specific spot in the brain could work anywhere in the brain or spinal cord?"
