Haynesworth, to Dylan
Reader Todd sends across this Dylan-inspired version of the Albert Haynesworth play. I find it almost hypnotic.
If you want a more optimistic view of things, here's the latest from Black Boo.

Haha, good stuff. Albert deserves all the criticism he's receiving for that pathetic display of effort. Is there such thing as pride anymore or does money buy that too?
Earlier this week Haynesworth said he will "always be a Tennessee Titan" or something to that degree. What an insult to Titan organization. Why would any team want to associate themselves with such blatant laziness?

Let's see -- we have at least three good men's college basketball programs in the area, at least two good women's programs, the best hockey team in the NHL and a pro basketball team. And the only thing worth writing about is Albert Haynesworth over and over and over and over again?
You're getting lazy Steinz.
Enough already.

text: I'm the new mommy of a manx/siamese kitten. We've had him about two months now. Needless to say, he is absolutely adorable, very affectionate and intelligent. Quite a talker, too. We're also acquiring another manx kitten this weekend, a tiny kitten that someone threw away out in the country (how do people do that!?!). I have experience with the siamese breed, but know little about the Manx. Can anyone tell me about this breed and their characteristics? I've heard they're very intelligent, hop like rabbits (oh yes!), but am interested in anything else.

San Miguel net profit rose 61%.
SAN Miguel Corp. yesterday reported a sharp increase in its nine-month earnings due mainly to the contributions from its new business units as well as gains from a favorable foreign exchange environment.
The country's biggest conglomerate in terms of market capitalization said its net income for the January-to-September 2012 period rose to P19.2 billion from P11.9 billion in the same period last year--a jump of 61 percent.
"Operating income reached P37.8 billion, 9-percent lower than 2011, but still a notable improvement over first semester figures, with Petron posting improvement starting August, and the food group sustaining improved profitability during the third quarter," it said.
Consolidated recurring earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) stood at P55 billion during the period.
In recent years, San Miguel had diversified aggressively into businesses far from its traditional food and beverage concerns. Its new areas of growth included petroleum, power, infrastructure and, recently, the airline business after it acquired a 49-percent stake in flag carrier Philippine Airlines.
The company said that revenues for the first nine months reached P509.2 billion, a 29-percent increase over group-wide sales reported in the first nine months of 2011.
In the energy sphere, SMC Global Power reported a 7-percent growth in consolidated revenue to P57.4 billion. Operating income was placed at P13.9 billion, up 26 percent from last year due to a combination of higher revenue and a decline in operating expenses.
Petron sold 53.2 million barrels in the first nine months of 2012, or 55 percent more than in the same period last year. Strong domestic demand resulted in a 4-percent increase in volume at 35.6 million barrels. Petron Malaysia posted a significant contribution with 17.6 million barrels sold.
Consolidated revenue for the petroleum refiner and distributor amounted to P307.3 billion, a 52-percent increase over last year. At the same time, San Miguel said that the "execution of identified growth strategies for newly acquired Philippine Airlines (PAL) continues."
Recently, the flag carrier signed the biggest aircraft deal in the country's history with Airbus, ordering a total of 65 aircraft for delivery over the coming years to implement its re-fleeting and expansion programs.
Yesterday, the company said that consolidated revenue for San Miguel Brewery Inc. from January to September 2012 amounted to P53.8 billion, up 3 percent from the previous year with volume sales totaling 164 million cases.
Its international beer operations and exports business also continued to post strong revenue growth. "Management of fixed costs for beer domestic and improved operating performance for the international business resulted in a 5-percent increase in SMB's operating income, which reached P15.4 billion," it said.
Recently, San Miguel president Ramon Ang said the conglomerate was in the final stages of making a bid for an unnamed $5-billion company with operations around the region. The group was also in talks with Cayman Airways--owned by the government of the Cayman Islands--for a stake in the airline to solve the regulatory prohibition for Philippine Airlines to increase its flights to the US mainland due to weaknesses in the local aviation regulator.

Specialist detector will be key to new method of reducing carbon emissions
Our muon detector could play a major role in reducing the UK's carbon emissions by monitoring stored carbon.
Scientists in the Particle Physics Group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy have built a detector which will provide a novel, cost-effective method for monitoring sites used for carbon capture and storage (CSS).
CSS requires the use of sub-surface areas deep beneath the seabed to store carbon dioxide and is one of the newest measures for reducing the emission of CO2 gases into the atmosphere. Carbon is 'captured' from power stations, compressed into a fluid and then stored deep underground in places such as off-shore depleted gas fields.
We're in the early stages of development but in principle we are creating a powerful tool to monitor carbon capture and the rate at which carbon is escaping from a site, which is key to carbon capture and storage.
Professor Lee Thompson, Department of Physics and Astronomy
Crucial to the effectiveness of CSS is a site's capacity for carbon storage and its ability to retain the carbon without migration. This is what our muon detector can potentially help monitor.
The current method of measuring the capacity and storage capability of CSS sites is costly and infrequent. The muon detector could provide an accurate and potentially more economical alternative.
Leading the detector development is Professor Lee Thompson. He said: "We're in the early stages of development but in principle we are creating a powerful tool to monitor carbon capture and the rate at which carbon is escaping from a site, which is key to CSS."
"Boreholes are drilled into the deep storage site and then used for injection of CO2. Our detectors will be inserted into such boreholes, just beneath the injection site. The boreholes are about 20cm in diameter and our detectors need to be able to fit within them"
Our experts are conducting muon detector experiments at a multi-disciplinary underground laboratory based at Boulby Mine.
Professor Thompson said: "Currently the project is testing the detectors by monitoring muons in a simulated borehole in the mine. In addition we are carrying out a proof-of-principle experiment using another detector which detects muons which have travelled through the North Sea and then through a kilometre of rock to a cavern in Boulby Mine. As the tide changes above the mine, the amount of water that muons travel through changes and these tiny variations can be picked up by our detector system."
A visit to the mine from the UK government minister of state for energy, Michael Fallon, highlighted the significance of the project and its implications for helping reduce carbon emissions by monitoring CSS sites.
Discussions are underway with oil instrumentation companies to seek further funding to continue the research, according to Professor Thompson, "This would enable us to run not just one but multiple detectors semi autonomously."
The project is currently funded by Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and Premier Oil. it is a collaboration of the Universities of Bath, Durham and Sheffield, Boulby Underground Science Laboratory and NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.

Switzerland will not employ any special measures to cope with Lionel Messi when they face Argentina on Tuesday, says coach Ottmar Hitzfeld.
The Barcelona attacker came into the 2014 FIFA World Cup under immense pressure to perform after failing to star for his country at each of the last two tournaments, but he has subsequently silenced his critics by netting four goals in the group stage.
Messi grabbed the winning goals against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran, before scoring the first two in a 3-2 win over Nigeria in their final Group F clash.
Argentina may not have been totally convincing in the group stage, but - in Messi - Hitzfeld knows Alejandro Sabella's side have someone capable of turning a match on its head in an instant.
Yet, Hitzfeld is adamant his side will not be giving the 27-year-old any special treatment when they meet in the last 16.
"Man-to-man marking against Messi? No," he is quoted as saying by Blick. "[We'll stop him] with a very well-functioning network. In this each player needs his concentration and attention levels extremely high.
"We must correctly take care of all our essential [jobs], be ready to anticipate and be error free.
"And in this, we can stop Messi.
"I don't dream about Messi. I enjoy him when I see him play football. I am a fan of him, like everybody who likes football.
"However, nothing he does on Tuesday will be able to inspire me, regardless of how successful he is."

I'm enjoying the race change to Night Elf but that didn't help my really poor Druid playing ability.
I set out to get all the artifact weapons for all specs and then the plan was to level to 105 so I could start the planting for pets.
I tried Feral first – it didn't go too badly. You would think all that stealthy pick pocketing experience with my Rogue would help with stealthing around in cat form but no, it did not.
Let's just say I died a few times but I eventually got the weapon.
I decided to try Resto next because I had trouble with my Monk healing spec to get the weapon.
This turned out to be the easiest of the 3 of them. I was actually starting to believe I could play a Druid.
And then I went for the Balance weapon and it all came crashing down.
OMG I couldn't get down the stairs without dying every 2 steps. I could kill one mob at a time but they seemed to know I was a Druid Noob and the entire mob population came running to take turns one-shotting me.
By the time I got to the spirits (30 minutes later) I didn't even bother trying to figure out how to get by them – I made a run for it.
Die a few more times until I get to the final boss. At least that didn't go too badly as I only died once and by the time I got back he was dead.
I like this weapon best of all for looks, but Holy Doodles, Batman! I sure can't play Balance to use it!
On the bright side, I went out questing sometimes as Bear, sometimes Cat and even a few times as Balance just because I like to torture myself.
As it turns out, I randomly picked a follower that tanked for me. After that, Balance was actually working pretty good as long as the follower kept mobs away from me.
I haven't figured it out yet. I'm using Icy Veins "Easy Mode" for all specs so I haven't done any "in depth" study to figure out how Balance works.
I did make it to level 105, got the class hall thing so I can plant for pets.
We'll see what I get in 3 days…
Other news…
I would take a break from Druid and work on leveling my Monk (she needs to be 110 and a whole bunch of other stuff to get the pet.) I got her all the way up to level 109 1/2 – hopefully I'll finish up this week.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll even get that Druid up to level 110.

"Hmmm. I wonder how etsy works? Maybe I'll just upload a couple of items just to see if I can do it."
A few days later: "Whoa! Something sold! Now I only have one thing in my etsy shop. I guess I need to make 4 more things before I can open my shop." Sigh.
I'm tempted to announce my shop even though there's only one item in it, but I think I'll hold off. Afterall, I still have a button to make for my sidebar. And 4 more things to sew up. Why do I do this to myself? I seriously have no idea how people who update their shops with a big huge inventory do it. No idea.

When you do figure it out, let me know, m'kay? My shop is currently...empty. Things didn't sell, their four month period passed...and I didn't renew. Because I'm moving in 10 weeks, and just don't have the energy to do it right right now! LOL
And, umm...if your stuff sold? You've got an official shop. You just haven't let us look at it yet. HAHAHAHA.

Congratulations on your first sale!! That is good news and definately something to be excited about.
I've learned not to stress about getting SOOOO many items in there. If people like your stuff - they'll wait and it's in the waiting that the anticipation for your buyers- continues to build.
They say to not post everything all at once anyway. An item every other day is great - you get noticed it bit more that way. (Just stuff I've learned -I've only been on since October and have had only 15 sales. I'm happy! and pleasantly surprised.)

I can't wait to see your Etsy Shop. I feel the same way. I can only manage to put a few items at a time on my Etsy Shop.

I only have 3 items listed here in my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/EvaBabeDesigns
I'm hoping I'll sell something and then I'll post more items. Good luck with your shop!

I don't put too much time or effort into my Etsy shop, but because so, I only have a few items and very few sales. If you "tested" it and something sold, you probably have a great product that people will want and will keep coming back to look for more. In that case, list items as you make them...piece o' cake!

you don't have to have a million things in there! if you have one item, just list the others as you get them made... you should try to "renew" one item per day to stay at the top of the listings though. i never can manage to get more than 15 aprons in my shop at once, and i have sold over 1100 aprons! if you have a great product, even if you only have ONE, someone is going to buy it!
good luck to you!

that is so cool you sold something before you even opened! Yes I agree - it is open.
GO on launch it with one item!

The World Wide Journal is an international electronic news agency dedicated to freedom of information and impartial delivery of news, regardless of origin or nationality, to the world's view. Founded in 1956 by Franklin J. Prescott, a Canadian socialite and renown news reporter, the WWJ was created with intention of supporting and hosting world news free of government bias and political ideologies. The World Wide Journal focuses on bringing the most accurate news possible to its readers regardless of the events reported or personal biases towards the subject by writer, staff or national influence.
Toronto Headquarters
In the 1970s the World Wide Journal gained international recognition for its covering of various world events, such as detailing diplomatic visits and national elections down to following claims of corruption against members of foreign governments. Most famously the news outlet covered a majority of the 1970 and 1980s political divides inside of Europe as well as criticizing numerous other international feuds. Beginning in 1977 the company began to expand past its previous headquarters of Toronto and became a prominent news authority for all of North America; and expanded its offices into most of Western Europe and by 1985 almost every nation on the continent has some form of office or related business. The World Wide Journal also expanded its global reach further to Aeuria in the late 1980s, opening new branches of the news agencies dedicated to handling local and national news with on-the-spot access and establishing a televised news station in certain countries. While the World Wide Journal publishes a number of local events and reports on most happenings of each nation, the main headquarters only hosts international or nationally important news.
In 1998 the World Wide Journal was corporately restructured following the start of the current CEO, Verney Levasseur, and the news agency faced issues combating other local influential news companies as well as struggling to remain true to their mission statement of truthful news free of national influence. In order to continue the famous reputation of the company, the World Wide Journal closed the majority of their printing locations around the world as well as downsizing several of their major business locations in a risky financial move that allowed the news agency to relocate most of their services to the growing internet. The move eventually paid off as the internet grew in popularity and the World Wide Journal remained a company free of most national influence and regulation, allowing the various business locations and reporters of the WWJ to print and keep up-to-date information available on their websites.
Any country with internet access can now enjoy the services presented by the company without issue; the World Wide Journal having developed into an applauded internationally present news agency supported by teams of multinational writers and reporters based around the world, with the rapid ability of bringing the issues of nations to the eyes of the world free of censorship and local bias.

LOCAL SPIN: The Rifts storm onto Buffalo music scene with new demo
Hailing from Buffalo, The Rifts are one of the newest bands on the local music scene.
Emulating the sounds of classic rock, newer alternative rock and modern funk, the Rifts have exploded onto the Buffalo music scene with their new four-song demo.
The first song on the demo is titled Killing Time. The track is highlighted by a powerful chorus and short yet effective guitar solo by lead guitarist Cory Clancy.
The third song on the track is called Balladia. This song, cleverly enough is the only ballad on the album. The soft verses in the song bring to life the chorus of the song in which front-man Brendan Hoare's voice is projected through your speakers.
The final track on the album is entitled Rush. Nothing about this song stands out compared to the others, the chorus is good, not great but the instrumentals behind the song are some of the most interesting to dive into.
Overall this demo shows The Rifts are still getting used to each other. While there is a lack of chemistry that other bands show after years of playing together, this band shows potential when it comes to reaching that peak. This band is good and they will probably be really good in about a year. If you haven't seen this band play live then do it. The growth of the Rifts will be something that the Buffalo music scene cannot hide from.

Everyone wishes us a happy new year and then, starting right away in January, they smack you with bills:
– rent is up
– town tax (I live in a small town in a small Western country) is 470 euros. That's for… that's right, who the fuck knows what that is for?
– water taxes 150 euros
– environment cleaning tax 380 euros
– extra health insurance (once a year, on top of the monthly) is 360 euros
– "regular" taxes, in case your income tax was not covering all you have earned.
Of course, as we hear quite often, the big sharks pay shit. The Dutch royal house pays shit, they just get money from us. And they're slightly poorer than Zuckerberg and Bill Gates put together.
Life, however, IS much better in 2018 for the average Western sucker (especially is you get to suck a nice piece) but be clear about the face of the 21st century capitalism.
By the way, Happy 31st of January 2018! It will only happen once in your life so celebrate it as good as you can, not just the commercial days they encourage you to celebrate by buying some shit and express your love through shopping.
The Greeks have a greeting at the beginning of every month: Khalomina (good month). I have one for every morning I wake up and at night, when I dive into my dreams, I tell them "hello, Im back with you for some hours, let's enjoy this time!"
And keep ur eyes on the sky tonight, it'll be a huge Blood Moon (eclipse) and it's free to enjoy

Happy Sunday! I cannot believe the weekend is wrapping up so quickly {as it always does}, and we are looking at yet another Monday tomorrow. What is it about Mondays.
So today, I have a special mama to share with you, Erin. I have known Erin for a while now and really enjoy the various subjects that she covers on her blog. From being a mama and parenting, to art and recipes. She is so diverse, and always has something interesting to say. I have to admit though, my favorite are her scrumptious recipes that she shares. HEALTHY too!
I asked her a few questions as well, and here is what she had to say:
1. Why did you start your blog, and what keeps you writing?
I started my blog (originally called Axell's Kitche) so that I could share my recipes. A few months in it started to evolve, and became more of a lifestyle blog. What keeps me writing is the girls who I have become friends with through my blog. When my dog Axell passed away a few months ago, I was devastated and ready to throw in the towel. I was blow away though by the support and love I got from my blog friends and realized deleting it was the last thing I wanted to do!
2. Tell us 3 important things that a stranger may want to know about you
That I ALWAYS put my family first, that I love classic rock, and when Led Zeppelin is playing- you don't talk to me! Last, that if you come over to my house, you will be fed, so come hungry!
3. Where do you see your life 10 years from now?
In 10 years I see myself with one (maybe two) more kids, hopefully having some sort of job involving fitness, and simply happy and loving life.
4. You post so many great recipes, what is your inspiration! And can you share 3 of your top favorite go-to foods that are mom-friendly {aka for those on-the-go-don't-have-time-
moms.... like me!}
To get inspired for a new recipe, I go to the grocery store and just wander around. I'm not good at thinking of meals/recipes ahead of time, it always just comes to me while browsing the isles at the store.
Three of my favorite go-to foods for a busy on-the-go mom would be: Bars (Balance, Quest and Kids Clif are some of my favorites), a smoothie (frozen banana + 1 C. frozen fruit + 1 C. almond milk is a great basic recipe) and a sliced banana with a Tbs. of peanut or almond butter.
5. Share some of your favorite moments of being a mom!
Some of my favorite moments of being a mom have been when he was really little and would sleep on my chest for hours, when his swim teacher told everyone in his class (most were older than him) to watch him because he was the best, and when he jumped for the first time, because he was so proud of himself. Also every time that baby hugs and kisses me I just melt.

After rocksteady, in the early days of reggae, there was lovers rock: a nascent, soulful type of reggae influenced by soul from Chicago but based on reggae sound systems out of London between the early 70s through to the present. In the beginning it was primarily a women's game before being adopted by male producers in Jamaica.
This mix features artists such as Louisa Mark (14 yrs young), Kofi, Janet Kay (pictured), and producers Lloyd Coxsone, Dennis Bovell, etc, on the boards.

I am sharing new discoveries on my blog!
During this weekend's mini-holiday in Florida, my friends convinced me to watch the pilot of a new show on Fox coming this fall, called Glee. I loved it!! The show is a weekly comedy/musical – which is an entirely new concept for TV. It's clever and smart, and a total parody/satire of those good ol' high school cliques we all love so much. And as a former high school music geek, I totally appreciate it, and think everyone can relate. The musical arrangements in this are also amazing. Especially this cover of "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. I haven't been able to stop listening to it!
Check out the trailer below. For those in Canada, you can download the whole pilot episode from Global TV.com here. Hope you all enjoy it – leave a comment and let me know what you think! Will you be tuning in this Fall?

Mystic massacre
The Mystic massacre took place on May 26, 1637, during the Pequot War, when English settlers under Captain John Mason, and Narragansett and Mohegan allies set fire to a fortified Pequot village near the Mystic River. They shot any people who tried to escape the wooden palisade fortress and killed the entire village, consisting mostly of women and children, in retaliation for previous Pequot attacks.[1] The only Pequot survivors were warriors who had been with their sachem Sassacus in a raiding party outside the village.
The Pequot were the dominant Native American tribe in northern to eastern Connecticut and had long competed with the neighboring Mohegan and Narragansett.[2]:167 When the English and Dutch arrived, they established trade policies, trading such things as wampum for European goods.
The Pequot eventually allied with the Dutch, while the Mohegan and others allied with the British. European population growth led to greater encroachment, leading to eventual conflict with indigenous populations. A series of Eurasian infectious diseases, such as smallpox, to which the Native Americans had no immunity, drastically reduced the Pequot population, tipping the population balance in high favor of the settlers.[2]:174
When a trader named John Oldham was killed and his trading ship looted by natives suspected to be Pequot,[2]:177 retaliation raids by settlers and their native allies ensued, and Pequots responded in kind, erupting into the Pequot War.
The massacre[edit]
The Connecticut towns raised a militia commanded by Captain John Mason consisting of 90 men, plus 70 Mohegan under sachems Uncas and Wequash. Twenty more men under Captain John Underhill joined him at Fort Saybrook.
The Pequot sachem Sassacus, meanwhile, gathered a few hundred warriors and set out to make another raid on Hartford, Connecticut.
At the same time, Captain Mason recruited more than 200 Narragansett and Niantic warriors to join his attack force. On the night of May 26, 1637,[citation needed] the forces of English and Native American attackers arrived outside the palisade-surrounded Pequot village near the Mystic River, which had only two entrances/exits. The English attempted to attack the villagers by surprise, yet met with stiff Pequot resistance. Mason gave the order to set the village on fire and block off the exits. The Pequot were trapped inside. Those who tried climbing over the palisade were shot; anyone who succeeded in getting over was killed by the Narragansett forces.[2]:190–93
Account by John Underhill[edit]
John Underhill described the scene and his participation: "Captaine Mason entring into a Wigwam, brought out a fire-brand, after hee had wounded many in the house, then hee set fire on the West-side where he entred, my selfe set fire on the South end with a traine of Powder, the fires of both meeting in the center of the Fort blazed most terribly, and burnt all in the space of halfe an houre;many couragious fellowes were unwilling to come out, and fought most desperately through the Palisadoes, so as they were scorched and burnt with the very flame, and were deprived of their armes, in regard the fire burnt their very bowstrings, and so perished valiantly : mercy they did deserve for their valour, could we have had opportunitie to have bestowed it; many were burnt in the Fort, both men, women, and children, others forced out, and came in troopes to the Indians, twentie, and thirtie at a time, which our souldiers received and entertained with the point of the sword; downe fell men, women, and children, those that scaped us, fell into the hands of the Indians, that were in the reere of us; it is reported by themselves, that there were about foure hundred soules in this Fort, and not above five of them escaped out of our hands."[3]
As Genocide[edit]
During the reemergence of the modern Pequot nation in the 1990s, Stephen Katz and Michael Freeman argued in the New England Quarterly as to whether or not the incident constituted a genocide, with Katz arguing that it did not and Freeman arguing that it did.[4] The book Genocide and International Justice by Rebecca Joyce Frey lists the incident as genocide,[5] as does the book An American Trilogy: Death, Slavery, and Dominion on the Banks of the Cape, by Steven M. Wise. Wise notes that Captain John Underhill justified the killing of the elderly, women, and children, and the infirm by stating that "...sometimes the Scripture declareth women and children must perish with their parents...We had sufficient light from the Word of God for our proceedings."[6]
Estimates of dead Pequot range from 400 to 700, mostly women, children and old men, as the warriors were out on a raiding party. On top of their being weakened from disease, the massacre practically broke the Pequots, who fled and were hunted down. Sassacus and many of his followers were surrounded in a swamp near a Mattabesic village called Sasqua. In the following battle, known as the "Fairfield Swamp Fight", Sassacus and about 80 others managed to escape. Nearly 180 warriors were killed, wounded, or captured. Sassacus was eventually killed by the Mohawk, who sent his scalp to the English as a symbol of friendship.[2]:196
The English sold captured Pequot as slaves or servants and took their lands. The Pequot numbers were so diminished that they ceased to be a tribe in most senses. The treaty even mandated that the remaining Pequot were to be absorbed into the Mohegan and Narragansett tribes, nor were they even allowed to refer to themselves as Pequot.[2]:196 In the later 20th century, Pequot descendants revived the tribe, achieving federal recognition and settlement of some land claims.[citation needed]
The massacre was featured in the History Channel series 10 Days that Unexpectedly Changed America.

The History of CerTech Gels
The CerTech Gels Technology has a long history of extending engine life
and reducing blowby through ceramic resurfacing.
This ceramic resurfacing was first seen in the Soviet oil fields in the 1960's. The drill bits on a Siberian oil rig were lasting longer than usual. In fact they were even sharper when they were brought up to be changed than when they were originally dropped down the hole. The crew took a sample of the soils that they were drilling in and sent them for analysis. Making a long story short, the minerals in this fluke formation were creating a reaction that was applying ceramics onto the cutting edges and actually sharpening the bits through ceramic resurfacing. This was the basis of the compounds used in the CerTech Gels Technology.
To refine and define the process, the project was assigned to the Soviet military. Scientists proceeded to apply the technology to engines of the Soviet Pacific Fleet. The result was that they were able to stay out longer between maintenance cycles and perform more dependably. In 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed, this is one of the secrets that emerged. A couple of companies seized upon the technology to perfect it for the commercial market. In 2001, a Finnish company was awarded the patent and they are the exclusive manufacturer of this process. The results of this technology have undergone third party laboratory testing for emissions, fuel economy, ceramic resurfacing, blowby reduction and overall engine performance. This technology has been verified under SAE (US) and TUV (Europe) standards. These test results are the basis for our claims to this day.
In May of 2003 we first used the technology in our own vehicles here in America. The results were so immediate and dynamic that even a Ford Escape with only 40,000 miles showed measurable improvement. We were convinced that we had stumbled upon something very significant. Over the next few years, we saw similar results in all types of engines from small lawnmowers to massive rock quarry crushing equipment.
When the opportunity presented itself, Bob Pond bought the CerTech Gels brand in 2009. We now package and distribute the CerTech Gels products throughout our channels in America.

You came into the world on Easter morning
From that moment on I knew life would never be boring.
You had a pink little face and blonde little head
You wanted nothing more than to be changed and fed.
Now you are growing I wish time would stand still
It's hard to describe the emotions I feel
When I look in your face I see a lot of me
You've showed me what patience and true love can be.
I've watched your master sitting up, crawling and walking
Each and every day you learn more words for talking.
Some days with you are amazing while others are tough
No one ever tells you all this mom stuff.
Your eyes light up when you see us and I love when you hug me
Who you'll be in the future I cannot wait to see.
Now that you're two you can do so much
From slides, to jumping and running you pack quite a punch.
I call you my baby because that's what you'll always be
Although I know you'll get older and maybe someday tire of me.
You're the best gift I've never asked for and I don't deserve your love
I have to thank the universe and the stars up above
For sending me a daughter that's so full of hope and joy and light
From the moment you were born it was love at first site.
So happy birthday daughter, my Charlotte, my babylove, my binksy boo
We love you so much – I'm so happy you're two.

Wal-Mart is doing its part to help its customers and associates to be informed about the upcoming election for U.S. president. The retailer is offering a video-based voter guide which will feature Sen. Barrack Obama and Sen. John McCain and their views on key issues for this election season. The video-based voter guide is being offered through the company's four websites.
Wal-Mart states that these websites collectively average tens of millions of visitors each week which will allow each candidate to reach a wide audience. Besides appearing on the Wal-Mart and Sam's Club websites the videos will also be available through the Wal-Mart corporate website and a website which is used exclusively by Wal-Mart associates. The videos will remain available through election day.
You've got to hand it to Wal-Mart; since they attract a lot of visitors online and through their stores they've acted upon a civic duty to help consumers and associates make informed choices about who they might vote to be the next president of the United States. There may be many voters still on the fence about who they might vote for so it's great to see one more way someone can utilize the resources of the Internet to make an informed decision.
This is also a great way for Wal-Mart to show the next president of the United States the kind of pull the company has with its 136 million customers and 1.4 million associates.

This new year, we are all about bringing you healthy ways of eating.
Making food yourself at home, rather than buying from a grocery store (minus a few exceptions), is the healthiest option for you and your family; you know every ingredient that's in your creation without raising an eyebrow at a nutrition/ingredient label.
Stocking your pantry with healthy, homemade goods is not only beneficial for your family, but it makes for a great hobby. With each new homemade dish or item, you learn something you didn't know, and get to experience a more hands-on approach with what you are eating. And what's more satisfying than creating (and loving) food from your own kitchen?
SHIFT's Locavore Pantry demonstrated just that, how to stock your pantry with healthy, homemade recipes. Mother Nature Nutrition shared recipes for yogurt, kefir, and paneer.
There are plenty of other homemade goodies to stock your pantry: canning jams and jellies, pickling, making homemade condiments; the options are endless.
Thanks to Mother Nature Nutrition, a local health consultant, I discovered you can also create your own dairy products at home. I never really thought about making dairy products myself; I try to limit dairy, but if and when I do buy it, I always buy the healthiest kind I can find. But, now I am happy to share that homemade yogurt is possible. This dairy product, when purchased at a grocery store, can often be full of sugar and lacking the appropriate bacteria for gut health (it's common goal); however, when making this yogurt recipeat home, you control the process, therefore controlling just how healthy it is.
Here is how you can make yogurt at home.
- 1/2 gallon whole milk
- 1/2 cup plain, full fat yogurt
- Supplies:
- Heavy-bottomed, non-metal pot
- Instant-read or candy thermometer
- Small measuring cup or bowl
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Pour the milk into the pot and set over medium to medium-high heat.
- Warm the milk to right below boiling. Stir the milk gently as it heats to make sure the bottom doesn't scorch and the milk doesn't boil over.
- Cool the milk until it's just warm to the touch, about 112 to 115 F. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Scoop out about a cup of warm milk with a measuring cup and it add the yogurt. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the thinned yogurt into the warm milk while whisking gently.
- Set the yogurt at 110 F in one of three ways:
- 1. Use an electric yogurt maker
- 2. Use a yogurt incubator
- 3. Use the oven (Cover the pot with the lid and place the whole pot in a gas oven with the pilot light on or an electric oven with the oven light on. Check yours to make sure the temp is around 110 F.
- Let it set for at least 24 hours. Avoid jostling or stirring the yogurt until it has fully set.)
- Cool the yogurt. If you set the yogurt in a pot in the oven, transfer to jars with lids and refrigerate. Homemade yogurt will keep for a bout 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
- For your next batch of homemade yogurt save 1/2 cup of recently made yogurt to use as a starter for your next batch.

The biggest mistake that people make when it comes to Borscht is to believe that there is only one proper way to make it (or spell it, for that matter). There are borscht recipes hailing from dozens of countries and ethnic groups, each with their own unique ingredients, flavors, and color variations.
Originally, borscht was made from the fermented leaves, stalk, and umbrells of heracleum sphondylium (common hogweed), a relative of carrot, parsnip, chervil, etc. commonly found in cold marshy meadows, and named for it's distinctive "pig smell". Wow, that sounds horribly unappetizing, but it raises a very important point about borscht. This is winter survival food.
And because it's survival food, the ingredients that you put into it are a direct reflection of your local environment. What is around you that you can eat? What did you preserve in the fall? How do you make it taste good?
We know from our Winter Gardening Guide that there are a lot of crops capable of surviving winter conditions in many regions, especially if you're able to use greenhouses or even just frost covers. Other borscht ingredients are harvested in fall and preserved via fermentation, drying, and cellar/cave storage.
This is the borscht I make using ingredients harvested and foraged from my polyculture garden in December, in Zone 9, along with a few ingredients that are stored and preserved from previous harvests. At time of writing it is 29 degrees, and all of my sensitive annuals – the peppers and tomatoes, namely — have been dead for several weeks. Recently I weedwacked the entire area to create a thick winter mulch, and the shoulders of radishes, beets, and carrots are visible everywhere. My nearby polyculture culinary herb garden is completely unphased by the frigid conditions.
Ingredients – Garden Fresh
- Carrots (roots and stems, not greens)
- Beets (roots and greens)
- Daikon radish (roots and greens)
- Pea shoots
- Brussel Sprouts
- Sage
- Thyme
- Sorrel
Ingredients – Stored/Preserved
- Potatoes
- Onions
- Garlic
- Dried plums
- Tomato paste
- Sauerkraut with juice (usually made with beet kvass, but use what you have handy. If using beet kvass, include cabbage as a fresh ingredient)
Meat – Recommended
- Beef roast with bone
- Bacon (nitrate free)
Personally, I'm a conscientous omnivore so I make borscht with meat, but you definitely don't have to. The trouble is, your choice on this point impacts how the soup is prepared, and the volume of each ingredient. As a stew, there is a presumption that there will, in fact, be a broth! Yes indeed, but will it be a beef bone and bacon fat broth, or will it be a wild and wonderful vegetable broth?
Directions – Beef Bone Bacon Broth Borscht
Dice a pound of bacon and brown in a skillet over medium-low heat, until crispy. Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving bacon fat behind and increase the heat to medium-high.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Sear the beef in the bacon-fat skillet on all sides, approximately 90 seconds per side, then transfer to the roasting pan, along with the bacon fat.
Chop onions (3 large), garlic (6 large cloves), potatoes (2lbs), carrots (1lb), radishes (1lb), and beets (2lbs) to desired eating size and add to the roasting pan.
Top with finely chopped fresh herbs. Cover, and roast for 25 minutes.
Remove roast from oven, and when sufficiently cooled, transfer all ingredients to a large stockpot using tongs or a slotted spoon, leaving the liquid and fat behind in the roasting pan.
Sprinkle flour into the roasting pan and whisk until it forms a thick gravy, then scrape the gravy into the stockpot with everything else. Add the bacon pieces, 3 tbsp of tomato paste, and at least 1 cup of lactofermented sauerkraut with liquid (or kvass).
Add halved brussel sprouts (1/2lb) and/or cabbage, and dried plums (10 halves) to stockpot, then add enough water to almost cover the ingredients, stir well, and simmer on low for 1 hour, or until greens are tender and the beef shreds easily.
Garnish – Just before serving, soften a few leaves of beet greens, radish greens, pea shoots, and sorrel in the hot soup, and top each bowl with freshly grated ginger.
Directions – Vegan Variant
Peel 4 large onions and 8 cloves of garlic. Set peels aside.
Cut beets and radishes below the shoulders. Remove the leafy portion of the greens and set aside. Put stems and shoulders into large saucepan.
Discard carrot greens and put stems and shoulders into the saucepan
Finely chop 2 of the onions and 4 cloves of garlic (you can use a food processor), and add this to the stockpot, along with 3 tbsp of tomato paste, finely chopped herbs, and a few tbsp of avocado oil.
Cook vegetable stock mixture over medium heat until the onions are well browned, adding oil if needed. When mixture is browned, sprinkle small amounts of flour into the mixture until all of the oil is absorbed.
Add the onion and garlic peels to the stock mixture, and enough water to fully cover plus extra, and simmer on medium-low for 1 hour. Stir occasionally while continuing prep.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees, and drizzle the bottom of a large roasting pan with oil.
Chop potatoes (3lbs), carrots (1lb), radishes (1lb), beets (3lbs), and remaining garlic and onions to desired eating-size, and halve a 1/2lb of brussel sprouts. Potatoes cook fastest, beets slowest, so size accordingly. Add these to the roasting pan, and season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Roast for 25 minutes.
After broth has simmered, and veggies have roasted, strain the broth and combine with veggies and dried plums (10 halves) in a large stock pot and add just enough water to submerge the ingredients, and simmer on low for 1 hour. A few minutes before serving, add the beet and radish greens, a few leaves of sorrel, pea shoots, and 2 tsp of freshly grated ginger to the hot soup.

Central PA's LGBT News Source
The Trump administration has announced an overhaul of the HHS civil rights office as part of a broader plan to protect health workers who don't want to perform abortions, treat transgender patients seeking to transition or provide other services for which they have religious or moral objections.
Under a proposed rule, the civil rights office would be empowered to further shield these workers and punish organizations that don't allow them to express their religious and moral objections, according to sources on and off the Hill. That would be a significant shift for the office, which currently focuses on enforcing federal civil rights and health care privacy laws.
The department's leaders have repeatedly criticized the Obama administration for rolling back regulations dating to the George W. Bush administration that legally insulated health care workers while affirming their religious freedoms.
Roger Severino, the Trump administration appointee who now leads the HHS civil rights office, has repeatedly stressed that strengthening conscience protections for health care workers is a top priority for his office.
That's alarmed advocates for LGBT patients, who say they're already fighting to overcome stigmas and discrimination and who warn that the policy shift will only worsen their situation.
"This is the use of religion to hurt people because you disapprove of who they are," said Harper Jean Tobin of the National Center for Transgender Equality. "Any rule that grants a license to discriminate would be a disgrace and a mockery of the principal of religious freedom we all cherish."

Looks like our posts crossed in transit :-) So you order by graphname, and you only have a single field of that name? But then when you put it into the list you only use part of graphname converted to a string and stripped: str(graphname[0]).lstrip('u')) So what did the field look like before you modified it? Since that is what determines the way that ORDER BY ordered it? And what is graphname[0] before you convert it to a string? (It looks like it is already a string?!) BTW. Its unusual to have to extract sub fields from a SQL result since to maximise the power of SQL its better to store all "subfields" in separate fields of the table. One of the complexities of debugging any database program is that almost as much depends on the data structures and content as it does on the code. Without seeing the data that is beintg operated upon its hard to be precise. What happens if you execute the SQL at the sqlite interactive prompt? Does it give the same result? PS. You don't need the commit() for a SELECT statement, you aren't changing anything. Alan G.

Blueberry Napoleon with crème fraîche and Raspberry Powder
I didn't make this to be a Fourth of July dessert, but I realized afterwards that it bears some kind of metaphoric resemblance to an American flag, except that the stars are blue.
I made some rectangles out of a pastry dough, and layered them with Crème fraîche, beautiful blueberries, and a sprinkle of brown sugar. The easiest dough to work with is called pâte sablée. Here is a detailed introduction to it from my friend Fanny. Once you've made the dough and chilled it, roll it out to exactly fit a Silpat lined baking sheet, and make a little paper template to divide the dough evenly into rectangles before baking.
The raspberry powder is made from these freeze-dried raspberries that we keep around as a snack, quickly pounded in a mortar and pestle (if Amazon is out, you can often find them at Whole Foods). Keep them in the freezer and they won't absorb moisture. I'm thinking there are lots of other interesting applications for this stuff. The same brand makes many other freeze dried fruits and vegetables, all with a single ingredient and no preservatives. How about a powdered fruit salad? What would happen if we folded the powder into yogurt or cream?

I wrapped up first quarter at Kellogg and thought of sharing key lessons from the time here so far. While a lot of stuff mentioned would be biased by my personality and approach, I have tried to keep the filtering to a minimum and offer a framework for any incoming student to use to shape his/her own time at b-school.
There are usually three parts to the b-school experience – academics, social and recruiting. I have put the first two under the bucket "Experience" and classified "Recruitment" separately for reasons explained below.
1. Experience
Given the sheer number of things to take up in a compressed timeline of 2 years, your own definition of what you want out of management education can help get the most out of your experience. Whether you want to focus on academics, meet diverse set of people, get experiential learning (leadership roles, case competition etc.), learn about a completely new field, its up to you. But as with any choices you make in life, this also comes with opportunity costs and being intentional about those choices gives the maximum runway for the efforts put in. I have come across people who wanted to learn things outside their comfort zone or learn from diverse people and didn't put too much emphasis on academics. They ended up getting their money's worth primarily because they were clear about what they were seeking.
Personally, I came to Kellogg with the intention of utilizing the academics offerings as much as possible. This is partly influenced by the fact that I didn't do a good job of it during my undergrad. I was directionless and wasn't sure what I was trying to achieve. Also, my work experience in young and high growth startups established the significance of learning in academic setting as it always makes for a good starting point.
In my first quarter, outside of core courses, I ended up taking an intense finance course without having any background in finance. And while I struggled with it and had to overcompensate for lack of my knowledge by putting extra time, the delta between my understanding of the field before and after is highest for the course. I didn't ace the course but that was never the point as my expectation on this front is purely on the learning part of it.
The spectrum of approaches of handling the social aspect of the experience is quite wide as well. Between your section, KWESTies, country/region specific groups etc. the frequency of social interactions is quite high especially in the first half of quarter. I am not a big fan of large-group social outings; for me it is as impersonal it gets. I abide by a simple rule on this: >15 people going to a bar? I am out!
Rather, I value one-on-one/small group settings where there is opportunity for meaningful conversations. Taking cue from an acquaintance who graduated from Kellogg recently, I scheduled 1-2 coffee conversations every week with interesting folks I came across through various avenues. A lot of such conversations resulted in one-off interactions while a few resulted in collaboration for study-prep, recruiting interview group etc. and helped develop meaningful relationships. Additionally, I organized/participated in lots of small group dinners that enriched social experience through some interesting discussions. I intend to continue doing these for the rest of the time here.
Moreover, it is very common to go down the hole of attempting to build social likability in a high caliber environment like this. In my mind that is a fool's errand and doesn't have any benefits in the long run. I don't have a lot to say on it but that you have my sincerest wishes if this is your goal at b-school.
2. Recruiting
While recruiting is a key part of the experience along with academics and social, but in my mind it makes for a separate section because of the nuances attached to the whole process. If you are here you will certainly get a job/internship, though the approach you take can impact the outcomes significantly.
The 2-year program offers more flexibility if you haven't completely figured out what you want to do. You can try an industry/role in summer and can re-recruit in second year if that doesn't work. Having said that, it doesn't mean that you don't need to have any direction or starting point in the process. It is OK to be in a situation where you are indecisive between 2-3 things and want to evaluate more closely before making the final choice. The summer intern or an experiential project can help figure that out. But you need to have those 2-3 things shortlisted, no resources would be able to help if you are figuring out between 10 things out there. It is common to come across people who are struggling with identifying the opportunities that they should go after and end up taking a "throw-everything-on-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks" approach. I think that compromises the outcomes for you in both short and long-term.
My approach to solving for this was taking as much primary inputs as possible to make an informed decision. During the summer before Kellogg I reached out to 50+ people across the roles and industries that I found interesting. One can underestimate how powerful this can be; if you are specific and genuine with your request people are more than happy to help. My success rate was around ~60% (might be a bit skewed as a large chunk of people that I wrote to are Kellogg alums) and that included getting positive responses from people at senior positions across marquee companies.
Specific conversations around the industry, requirement, impact and growth of the role provided high-quality primary data and insights. That helped shortlist 10-12 roles that I am going after for on-campus recruiting. It is possible that I don't end up getting offers from any of those, but given the clearly defined role and industry target, I can pick pace on the off-campus search for the internship.
One thing that I would highly recommend to anyone going for an MBA is to be clear about what you are seeking from the experience. During b-school, you need to take critical decisions quickly (recruiting does hit you before you think) and the outcomes attached are a function of how clear are you about taking those. While clarity helps in general in life but it becomes all the more critical in b-school when you have invested 2-years and upwards of $200K (not counting the opportunity costs).
