A few weeks ago we had company coming over and I made two dips. My Reese's Peanut Butter Dip and this Valentine's Day dip. Hopefully my friends are getting used to the idea that we eat holiday treats a month before the actual event.
This dip was very easy to make. Unlike the Reese's Dip, you want to refrigerate this one for an hour or two to let the cream cheese, butter and sugars harden a little bit. That way you can shape it and cover it with sprinkles.
I have no trick, by the way, for covering this with sprinkles. I first wrapped it in plastic wrap and stuck it in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours. I laid a piece of parchment paper on my serving dish and removed the cheeseball from the wrap and put it on the paper. I then patted the sprinkles onto the cheeseball. Yes, my hands were sticky. Yes, sprinkles fell off and went all over the serving plate. When it was done, I tilted the plate and let the sprinkles fall off onto another plate on the counter. I saved my sprinkles (they were perfect to use in homemade confetti cupcakes). You could throw them away though, or repeat the patting process with them!
At this point, EAT. I used pretzels, animal cracker and graham sticks to serve. However, the leftovers were great with Crunchpak apple slices! I wish I had served apples in the first place! The toffee bits in this dip really stood out and made it irresistible! So addicting!

The latest model in the round of new netbooks from Acer is the Acer Aspire One D260.
This 10.1-inch netbook was officially announced in the UK today, with a scheduled release of June 1st. The Acer AOD260 builds on the previous D250 and has a great new stylish design.
It makes use of the latest DDR3 supporting Intel Atom N455 1.66Ghz or N450 processor, along with up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM. The Acer D260 has a 10.1-inch widescreen LCD with a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution and 200-nit brightness, along with Intel GMA 3150 graphics and even optional quadband 3G/UMTS.
It comes with Windows 7 Starter edition, but there is also talk of it being available with Google Android operating system as well, but we can't see it being a very popular option.
The rest of the Acer Aspire One D260's features are fairly standard with a 250GB hard drive, 3x USB 2.0 ports, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Ethernet, VGA output, audio in and out, and a multicard reader.
It will be available with a 3-cell (4 hour) and 6-cell (8 hour) battery options. Release is set for June 1st in the UK, but pricing is currently unknown, along with the release in the rest of the world.
The Acer D260 is available in four "flake" color options, Black, Purple, Pink and Charcoal.
If priced well, I can see the Acer AOD260 being a very good seller, thanks to its latest hardware and attractive design.
The Pink Flake version of the D260 is now available to pre-order from Amazon for $329!
Update: It is now available in the UK from just £229.99 – £249 from Amazon UK . The more expensive has a larger capacity battery,

Zondervan to publish 'Faith Commander' with Duck Commander's Robertson family
New five-week church-wide experience for all ages
Feb 03, 2014, 10:00 ET from Zondervan
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- America's favorite reality show family continues to use their fame for God's glory. The Robertsons, from the hit series "Duck Dynasty®," are expanding their outreach into churches across America with "Faith Commander: Living Five Values from the Parables of Jesus." In this new church-wide curriculum -- published by Zondervan -- Korie Robertson along with her mother, Chrys Howard, created a five-week experience for all ages.
"Faith Commander," releasing in May of this year, focuses on five themes found in the parables of Jesus: faith, forgiveness, obedience, prayer, and kindness. This new tool creates a church-wide experience, for children to adult ministries, where an entire congregation can walk through this curriculum simultaneously.
Korie Robertson, wife of Duck Commander's CEO Willie Robertson, said, "With the 'Faith Commander' curriculum, we took some commonly found themes that the show 'Duck Dynasty®' actually teaches. We use these, not in a preaching sort of way, but really the kind of way that shows how we live our lives and the way our family works. This faith is behind who we are as a family and what keeps us together and strong."
"We chose the parables of Jesus because sometimes they are not always studied like they should be," said Chrys Howard. "God put those in the Bible for us to learn from. Willie, Phil, Alan, and well, all the guys are great storytellers. In 'Faith Commander,' they explain the parables as stories to bring people closer to God. We really believe that this is going to benefit the entire church family -- kids, adults, and teens. It's something families can all study together just like they watch the TV show together."
Adult and teen resources for "Faith Commander" each includes a book and DVD with accompanying Robertson-family stories -- the adult curriculum features Phil, Alan, Willie, Jase, Jep, and Si; the teen curriculum hosts John Luke, Sadie, Will, Reed, and Cole Robertson. The five-week children's curriculum is only available on a DVD-ROM, and also includes "Willie's Redneck Rodeo," a five-day bonus Vacation Bible School program. In addition, "Faith Commander" provides pastors with free sermons and other promotional resources.
"The Robertsons' authentic faith and love for Jesus was evident throughout our time working with them," said John Raymond, vp and publisher for Trade Curriculum at HarperCollins Christian Publishing. "We had the privilege of visiting the Robertson family in West Monroe, Louisiana while filming 'Faith Commander;' their entertaining and inspirational storytelling brings the curriculum's five key themes to life."
"There are some things that the Bible tells us are God's guidelines," continued Korie Robertson. "He gives us examples throughout the Bible so that we may live a better life and those are the lessons that we have tried to cover in 'Faith Commander.' We hope that people will bring these lessons into their own family through this curriculum."
"Faith Commander" adult and teen studies will go on sale May 6, with the church-wide curriculum kit being available for purchase on May 20, 2014.
The "Faith Commander Church-Wide Curriculum Kit" ($124.99, box, ISBN: 9780310820307) will include:
- "Faith Commander: Living Five Values from the Parables of Jesus" (Book and Discussion Guide) by Korie Robertson and Chrys Howard ($12.99; Softcover; ISBN: 9780310820338)
- "Faith Commander: A DVD Study" ($19.99; ISBN: 9780310820352)

The pictures aren't perfect, the colors and edges don't all match,
but this was such a beloved project for all of them that they kept the pieces and we inherited them. My husband and my kids love them and want to put them up on a wall, we just can't agree on where yet. Mainly because the prime spot downstairs where they want them is the same spot I want this same project - just done now, 20 years later, with my husband and my kids for ourselves. Selfish?? I don't know. There's another prime spot upstairs..... :)

I want state government out of the gambling business.
The reason the lottery was established was to raise money for schools by some means other than (shudder) taxes. So instead of generating revenue by simply raising the Individual Income Tax or the sales tax by a few percentage points, we establish an entire state bureaucracy and a new statewide industry (including 11,000 lottery retailers), and then we try to encourage foolish and/or stupid people to squander their money on a game they are going to lose.
In 2007, ticket sales were $2.36 billion and prizes totaled $1.33 billion. So the average lottery player got back $.56 for every $1.00 he spent. I can offer lottery players better odds than that. I'll give them $.75 for their $1.00. But it probably wouldn't be as much fun. (Figures are from the Lottery's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.)
In fiscal year 2007, the Lottery generated $748.9 million for the School Aid Fund and $10.8 million for the General Fund (from charitable gaming activities). Another $1 million is set aside for Department of Community Health's gambling addiction programs.
Last year, the Lottery spent $17.5 million on advertising - encouraging citizens to play. And according to a 6/9/08 article in the Lansing State Journal:
The cost of operating the Lottery in 2006 was $281 million: $235.7 million for commissions and game related expenses and $45.3 million for other operating expenses. The $760.1 million generated by the Lottery at a cost of $281 million could have been generated at no cost by increasing the Personal Income Tax.
I also have a personal reason for doing away with the lottery. I don't like waiting in line at the checkout counter while someone is buying lottery tickets.
I had a letter to the editor published March 13, 1995 on this subject.

text: If you've fallen head over heels in love with your HRS subwoofer, Sunfire's looking to help you round out your surround system with satellites to match. Announced this week at EHX in Orlando, the company is bringing the $450 HRS Sat-4 and $500 HRS-SAT4C Center to market. As expected, each of the glossy black speakers will tout a curved design, cast aluminum front baffle, a 4.5-inch High Back-emf woofer (two for the Center in a D'Appolito configuration) and a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter. Additionally, each speaker can handle 200-watts of RMS power, and if these things deliver half the delight of HRS subbies, we'd say Sunfire has a couple more winners on its hands here.

I go there, I go there.I did not spend much time crying; maybe not enough. My mother's father said, "Laugh first, cry later; cry first, laugh later." He was a Serpentine man from Chumo, and had gone back to that town to live said once, "Living with my husband is like eating unleached acorns." But she went down to visit him from time to time in Chumo, and he would come and stay with us in the hills in summer, when Chumon was baking like a biscuit down on the Valley floor. His sister Green Drum was a famous Summer dancer, but his family never gave anything. He said they were poor because his mother and grandmother had given everything in past years putting on the Summer dances in Chumo. My grandmother said they were poor because they didn't like working. They may both have been right.
I go where I went
Crying beside the water.
It goes there, it goes there,
The fog along the water.

Public TV Political Ad Ban Unconstitutional, Court Rules
A law saying public television stations can't air political or public-issue ads is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court in California said.
A three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based court ruled today in a lawsuit brought by Minority Television Project Inc., a California nonprofit that operates San Francisco Bay area public television station KMTP. The station was fined by the Federal Communications Commission for violating the ban on public stations' airing of paid ads from corporations.
The station sued the FCC claiming the ban on ads violated its right to free speech. Public TV and radio stations have been barred from airing ads for or against political candidates, ads expressing views on topics of public interest, and ads for products placed by for-profit companies.
The appeals panel decided on a 2-1 vote that the government had no evidence to support its claim that allowing the stations to air public issue and political ads would harm their educational mission.
"If there truly is evidence that broadcast of public issue and political advertisements would cause substantial harm -- that their broadcast would change program content as directly and substantially as would for-profits' advertising -- Congress could compile a record to show as much and perhaps pass a law restricting such speech," the panel said.
The court upheld the ban on product ads from for-profit entities.
The FCC referred a request for comment on the ruling to the Justice Department. The agency is reviewing the decision and had no immediate comment, said spokesman Charles Miller in an e- mail.
There was no answer at KMTP's office in Palo Alto, California.
The case is Minority Television Project Inc. v. FCC, 09-17311, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (San Francisco).

When Andy Murray moved up to eighth seed after the withdrawal through injury of the defending US Open champion Rafael Nadal, he was still at the mercy of the computer – and it did him few favours here on Friday, pitching him towards a quarter-final against Novak Djokovic.
If he is to win a second US Open, he will have to beat the player he humbled in that 2012 final after a probable tussle with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the fourth round. Although Murray has beaten Tsonga nine times in 11 matches, the Frenchman ended a run of eight straight losses against him when he came from behind to beat him in the quarter-finals in Toronto two weeks ago, going on to defeat Grigor Dimitrov before taking the title with a straight-sets win over Roger Federer.
Tsonga then went out in the first round in Cincinnati, losing 6-1, 6-4 to Mikhail Youzhny, so Murray caught him at precisely the wrong time. Tsonga is likely to be rejuvenated for his Flushing Meadows campaign, as will Djokovic.
Although the world No1 has been out of sorts since winning Wimbledon this year – he looked lost and downhearted in another early defeat in Cincinnati last week – he is the tournament favourite – almost by default, since Nadal decided he could not risk his injured right wrist. Murray, who has not had as much court time as he wanted recently, will have to find his form quickly to give the Serb a fight.
Murray's first-round match – which might fall for him on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, such is the quirkiness of the tournament schedule – is against Robin Haase, who has not done a lot since blowing a two-set lead here against the Scot in 2011.
The Dutchman has fallen from the 40s to No70 in the world in the intervening years, and lost to Murray again at the Australian Open last year in straight sets. The path to the quarters then reads: Radek Stepanek, Fernando Verdasco and Tsonga.
Djokovic survived the draw relatively unscathed. He plays the promising young Argentinian Diego Schwartzman (whom Roger Federer admitted he had never heard of before beating him easily in the second round at Roland Garros this year) first, then the Luxembourg veteran Gilles Müller, followed in all probability by the No28 seed Guillermo García-López and the American No1 John Isner.
Beyond Djokovic lies a likely semi-final against Stanislas Wawrinka or either of Milos Raonic or Kei Nishikori. None of those assignments is easy. But then it was not meant to be; this is the concluding slam of the season, where muscle and spirit are stretched to the limit.
On the other side of the draw, the second seed Federer has a comparatively untroubled route to the quarter-finals: Marinko "Mad Dog" Matosevic (whose bark has been worse than his bite lately), his Australian compatriot Sam Groth, perhaps, and possibly followed by Ivo Karlovic and the excellent Roberto Bautista Agut, seeded 17 and dangerous. In the final eight, however, there is every chance Federer will come up against Dimitrov – the man who would be king, if only people would let him get on at his own pace, and as long as he does not fall to either David Goffin early or Gaël Monfils.
Tomas Berdych is scheduled for a first-round dog-fight with the former champion Lleyton Hewitt, who refuses to let age or injury quell his enthusiasm. There are younger, more threatening opponents waiting for the Czech, though, in Ernests Gulbis and David Ferrer en route to the semi-finals.
Serena Williams has had one of her most disappointing seasons but such is her dominance she is still top seed and favourite to retain her title. She has an intriguing first-round match against one of Murray's favourite players, Taylor Townsend, who made a brief but memorable impression at Wimbledon this year, and could meet Sam Stosur as early as the fourth round. They played one of the most dramatic women's finals here in years in 2011, when Stosur rode a wave of irresistible form to win 6-2, 6-3. Their paths have diverged since then but Williams had to dig deep to win in Cincinnati last week, as Stosur found some of her best serving form.
"I'm excited to be here," Williams said, which disguised a troubled journey from Wimbledon, where she collapsed suffering from dizzy spells and had to quit during her doubles match with her sister Venus. If she needed extra motivation, the prospect of winning an 18th major surely provides it.
"For sure, you think about it. Everyone talks about it every time I step into a press conference, so even if I'm not thinking about it's kind of like: 'I'm going to have to now'. But I've been kind of going for No18 all year and it hasn't happened. Eventually maybe I'll get it."
There have been more convincing battle cries, but she is still the player to beat.
Britain's Heather Watson, playing excellent tennis recently and back in the top 50, meets Romania's world No81 Sorana Cirstea. Eugenie Bouchard, who has played dismally outside the slams (where she has made semis or better all year) awaits in round two.

Kelly - posted on 01/23/2011 ( 3 moms have responded )
My oldest step daughter lives with us. she has become very disrespectful and she dosent appreciate any thing she has. She talks back at us but mostly me and stomps around the house like a 2 year old. When she is told to do something or not do soething she absolutely goes out of her way to do the opposite of whatever we said.... The biggest problem is the lying.
Dr Phil had an episode that every thing but the bed and blankets were taken from a kid. That is what we have done at this point. Every single thing she owns is put in storage bins and is currently in my room. she has 7 outfits to wear for 7 days of the week and pajamas and all of her underwear and socks.... She has been given 3 pair of shoes 1 black flats one white sneakers and one snow boots just in case. Is this too radical? It is hurting me to know what she is going through. She has not been allowed to leave the kitchen table now unless told we are all going out together or given permission because we feel she has earned it. This whole thing is exhausting to me and my poor husband. I watch the other 2 children living at this residence go through alot and be pushed to the side because they are good kids one is 8 and one is 11months old. The 11 month old is my biological son. The 8 year old is my little step daughter. Shes a great kid. I forget im even her stop mother most of the time.. My Samantha though... shes purely exhausting. I love her so much and i feel my heart break when we have to disicplin her or tell her ok well now you have back talked all day or been lying all day so we need to start at square one. She needs to learn that she must consistently behaive and consistently be good but is all of this too much? Is dr phil maybe a little over the edge on repercussions? The thing is the repercussions we have tried for 6 years never stick.

The trend for sea level rise spells very bad news for anyone living along the coast if a hurricane hits during one of those higher high tides. [Source: Tampa Bay Times]

Anand Mahindra tweets ire at 'dismal' Auto Expo crowd controlJanuary 6th, 2012 - 11:33 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Jan 6 (IANS) The thronging unruly crowds at the Auto Expo Friday had Mahindra Group vice chairman and managing director Anand Mahindra vent his ire at the "dismal" crowd management and decide against revisiting the Pragati Maidan where his company unveiled its latest products.
Commenting on the chaotic state of affairs, Mahindra tweeted: "The crowd management is dismal. Wall to wall people on a media day? Either management is lax or media is the most popular profession in India."
Mahindra's comments came after the first two days, which are kept as the official business and media interaction days, saw press personnel and exhibitors being physically harassed by thousands of freeloaders. The public days for the event opens from Jan 7, when around 100,000 visitors are expected at Pragati Maidan.
"Shudder to think of the stampede tomorrow when it opens to the public. This is the first time I've no desire to return for a second visit."
"Fare on display at Auto Expo is the richest I've seen. Infrastructure is still the poorest and beams a contradictory picture to the world."
Mahindra also suggested in his tweet that the expo should try and find a new home to give the mega event a new face.
"Auto Expo needs to find a new, more capacious and tidier home. Or the world will be happy to give the go-by to Indianauto's shop window."
Agreeing with Mahindra's views, Vicky Chandhok, president, Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) tweeted: "Got there last evening from Madras (Chennai) and would have normally gone back today but headed back! Just no crowd control!"
Trudging from hall to hall in search for free media kits and a chance to see Bollywood stars who are invited either to launch or unveil vehicles, the crowds have on occasion completely overrun the venue making the life of event managers, media persons and exhibitors tough.
The 11th edition of the Auto Expo will conclude Jan 11. The event at the sprawling Pragati Maidan exposition grounds promises a slew of launches and first-time exhibits of vehicles in virtually every segment and hopes to draw some 500,000 footfalls, the organisers said.
Held every two years, the event is being co-hosted by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA).

Lab Technicians – Working Behind the ScenesAuthor: Brent McNutt
Each hospital or medical clinic with even the slightest degree of modernization has to have at least one clinical laboratory in it. These laboratories produce the raw data, which in turn is used by the doctors with the various patients that they handle.
And clinical lab technicians are the individuals responsible for keeping these laboratories up and running.
Doctors are the first to make an initial assessment of a patient's diagnosis or treatment. But an initial assessment is never enough for a meticulous doctor: they verify these initial findings with lab technicians, who are usually hidden behind the scenes. They can usually be found operating the technical equipment necessary – working with electronics, chemicals, bacteria and other laboratory specific items to give an empirically-sound basis for either verifying or disproving a doctor's initial assessment.
As such, a lab technician's main duties can be loosely divided into three categories:
Technical Expertise
This is perhaps one of the most prized of the many merits of a lab technician. Their ability to manipulate equipment and laboratory equipment arms them with the necessary know-how to find microscopic or chemical tell-tale signs of a disease.
This ability to operate the machinery required to detect and verify the presence of certain diseases or illnesses serves as the backbone of a doctor's diagnosis. The process of doing so is also often tedious, time-consuming and highly technical – things that a particularly busy doctor has little time or attention to deal with. By having competent lab technicians handling the equipment, a doctor's time and efforts are channeled into their primary purposes: dealing with patients, analyzing the results, and coming up with proper treatment regimens.
The Laboratory Setting
The work environment of a lab technician is something of a health hazard – being exposed to chemicals, microscopic organisms, highly sensitive electronics and samples containing potentially infectious diseases are very real threats that could be very harmful (even fatal) to a technician who gets careless.
However, lab technicians are especially trained to deal with these situations. Safety is part of a technician's list of competencies; allowing him or her to operate in such an environment without posing a threat to himself or to other technicians in the same laboratory.
Technologist vs. Technician
A distinction must be made between a technologist and a technician: the former is the more skilled, better accredited of the two, while the latter performs relatively less complex tasks than their superior counterparts.
This does not change the fact that technicians are necessary in a laboratory too. While technologists can be considered as seniors in the laboratory, they are few in number and rather difficult to train. Technicians fill the gap in manpower – not quite as skilled in laboratory operations as technologists, but competent enough to accomplish the simpler tasks that require less complex skills.
So there you have it: a quick rundown of a lab technician's responsibilities in the hospital. Just keep these tidbits in mind the next time you see a closed lab door in your local hospital or clinic – you can be sure that a lab technician or two is busy working his or her medical magic in there.

(Or maybe face a > strong incentive to undo one). Actually, I may be wrong here and am checking with Sergey. There has been some cases where a font loaded in Firefox but not in IE but it may not be related to WOFF conformance at all. Still, the risk of having different browsers implementing different overlapping set of conformance checks is non-zero. Given how popular fonts are becoming on the web, it may cause some confusion. I don't have a proposal or particular insights on what should be done but would love to hear from others. (I'll follow up with John and Sergey separately on the specific issue I was originally referring to).Received on Wednesday, 26 January 2011 02:38:14 UTC

Guns and irate anglers are an explosive mix, and the city of Soldotna wants to keep them apart.
Soldotna City Manager Tom Boedeker has ordered signs posted at Centennial and Swiftwater campgrounds prohibiting firearms for the rest of the year. He asked the city council at Wednesday evening's meeting to look into making the ban permanent.
He cited recent confrontations and complaints involving armed people in those city parks.
"I felt action was necessary to minimize risk of injury or situations escalating out of hand," he wrote in a memo to the council.
But John Smallwood, one of the people involved in the incidents, voiced his objections to the council.
"You are very wrong, Mr. Boedeker," he said.
Smallwood said the ban and recent actions by the Soldotna police infringe on his right to carry firearms and his right to free speech.
"I have been packing a firearm for 42 years and recently made it legal," he said. "By law, we are allowed to have it, and that is just the way it is."
But tense situations involving park patrons, police and the guns have been escalating, said Parks and Recreation Director Andrew Carmichael.
City officials felt compelled to act. Earlier this week they put up signs announcing the weapons ban in the parks.
"Something could happen that no one means to happen," Mayor Ken Lancaster said later.
Smallwood, for his part, alleges that the problems began with inappropriate use of the handicapped fishing areas. He is handicapped and uses a motorized cart to get around.
Pedestrians have been using the handicapped platforms and blocking access for those for whom the areas were intended, he said.
Smallwood has asked some people if they are handicapped and received responses he called "sassy." One person bragged that he could fish anywhere he wanted because he had relatives in the police department, he said.
Smallwood accused the police of responding inappropriately to the incidents and confiscating his firearms.
"I have been played with, the last three or four days, by a couple of officers," he said.
"To me it is just harassment. And if I don't get those weapons back I will file suit against the city."
When council members asked Police Chief Shirley Warner about the allegations, she responded that she could not comment because of pending legal action.
In other city council action:
n The city will donate a lot to Habitat for Humanity for building a home.
The nonprofit organization, which helps low income families obtain houses, and Central Emergency Services, which has offered to provide the construction labor, asked the city for the property. The lot is on Sohi Lane north of Marydale, on land given the city in a swap with the Soldotna Bible Chapel.
The donation was challenged by council member Joyce Cox.
"I am opposed to the project," she said. "I believe we would definitely benefit the citizens more if we do something else."
Cox critiqued the large donation to benefit a single family. The people of Soldotna would be better served if the city sold the lot and used the money to purchase things many could use, such as playground equipment, she said.
Others disagreed.
Council members Dave Carey and Jane Stein touted the project as an opportunity to involve high school students in a vocational and public service project.
The council approved the donation on a 5-to-1 vote, with Cox dissenting.
n Water quality is improving in the city, Public Works Director Steve Bonebrake reported.
The city utility crew recently finished this year's "pigging" the water mains, a procedure that cleans the insides by scooting a scouring plug through the lines.
Four years of cleaning has improved the water's taste, lowered costs and made it easier to do ongoing maintenance, he said.
n Work on the new recreation site at Karen Street will begin soon, Carmichael said.
Clearing on the property, which will become a children's ski and snowboarding area, will begin in early September. The cut trees will be recycled for trails and restoration projects at Swiftwater Camp-ground, he said.
The next meeting of the Soldotna City Council will be Sept. 13 at Soldotna City Hall on Birch Street.

Reflections on Recent Perceptions of Early Medieval India
I am deeply beholden to the Executive Committee of the Andhra Pradesh History Congress for the honour they have bestowed upon me by electing me to preside over the Historiography Section of its XVIII annual session. Since I have made no meaningful contribution to the history of Andhra Pradesh, I see in my elevation to this august chair an urge on the part of this very active regional congress to integrate its activities with pan-Indian developments. I am really overwhelmed at this honour from professional colleagues.
I would like to share with you my thoughts on some recent constructions or rather 'deconstructions' of socio-economic and political formation of early medieval India. Since some of the recent writings have acquired a degree of respectability and even a status of paragons of scholarship, it is time their real objectives are unfolded.
One does not have to overstrain himself to recognise that the post-Independence historical writings in India have been dominated by Professor R.S. Sharma's construct of Indian Feudalism.1 Expectedly, it generated considerable debate, sometimes even quite acrimonious, but largely raising legitimate academic issues of historiographic significance. Though three categories of 'fashionable but fundamentally inadequate* objections to Sharma's thesis have been identified in a recent analysis of the Asiatic Mode of Production,2 we shall largely confine ourselves to:
(a) alternative paradigms, specially in the context of north and east India, and
(b) the emergence of some disturbing neo-colonialist strains noticeable in the debate on 'Orientalism* in general and more specifically in the critique of the feudal construct.
While R. S. Sharma's writings in the last three decades have tended to take cognisance of multi-polarity of his thesis,3 much of the

Featuring a flat alder body, bolt-on neck, steel bridge components, and three proprietary PRS single coil pickups based on PRS's award-winning 513 model platform, the DC3 has a warm, vintage tone and loads of modern appeal. The steel components in the bridge retain the balanced resonance of the alder and provide a clear, but expansive tone, and the three-pickup configuration combined with a 5-way blade pickup selector offers ample switching possibilities. You've got to hear this guitar.
Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' new "V12" finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, "V12" is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. "PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments," said Paul Reed Smith.
Neck shapes have always been a high priority for us and a hallmark of our quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like "home," as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. The new "Pattern Regular" neck shape is similar to the traditional PRS regular neck found on guitars made in the late 80's at PRS's former Virginia Avenue location.
This new neck shape reflects modern tooling and programming that allows us to even more precisely shape and consistently reproduce our necks.
The bridge plays a crucial role in the tone of a guitar by transferring the string's vibrations to the tonewood. When executed well, the bridge will enhance the wood's natural resonance. The PRS Tremolo with steel components offers a clear, expansive tone that sounds especially pleasing in guitars with singlecoil tones.

The Role a Female Traveling Minister Played in Spreading Quaker Beliefs
- :: 2 Works Cited
- Length: 702 words (2 double-spaced pages)
- Rating: Excellent
One important aspect of Quaker life to understand before reading An Account of the Travels, Sufferings and Persecutions of Barbara Blaugdone, is the use of traveling ministers to spread the Quaker religion around the world. The Society of Friends, given the popular name "Quakers", originated in England in the seventeenth century and quickly spread to the English colonies, and later to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Turkey, and America (Sharpless 393). The most influential people in this rapid spread of the Quaker religion were the missionaries. While Quakers believed that "no one should preach the Word without a direct call from God", they did believe that any one "male or female, old or young (395)" could receive this call. The truth of the matter was, however, that the majority of the traveling ministers in the seventeenth century were women.
Usually, two women traveled together and "the pairing of a young woman and an older woman was encouraged" (Bacon 29). This discouraged women from engaging in "too familiar behavior" (31) with persons they met in new towns, or with men who would sometimes accompany women on missions. The first order of business for a woman who had received the call and wanted to travel, was "to appear before the ministry committee of her own monthly meeting, which would then discuss her request in light of her health, her family duties, and the strength and soundness of her ministry. If the local meeting felt all was well, the quarterly and then the yearly meeting had to be consulted. This took time, but prevented men and women from wandering about, preaching doctrines not in accordance with Friends' beliefs. It also tested the strength of the minister's original sense of mission" (Bacon 33-34). Attending all these meetings, and proving one's resolve was the only way to receive a "traveling minute" which was not required for Friends who were not ministers, but was sought if the person intended to attend other Friends meetings while traveling. Ministers, on the other hand, did require a traveling minute if they intended on preaching in other Quaker meetings. Ministers with the traveling minute were referred to as "Public Friends" (34).
Once a missionary or minister had acquired their minute and successfully traveled to their destination (which was far more perilous than you might imagine), they went about spreading the word in one of many ways.

"They met with the small groups of Quakers beginning to form in different colonies, prayed with families, and endured many hardships" (24), all in the effort to teach people of the joys and benefits of having a direct relationship with God. As Quaker historian Margaret Bacon explains,
one cannot question that they felt themselves to be under divine orders, and that they experienced a marvelous confidence and release of energy to deal with whatever problems or obstacles appeared in their way. The stories of their adventures with the perils of sea and land were told again and again, and the retelling increased the respect that members of their communities came to feel toward any female called to the ministry. (41)
Most especially in the early years of the Quaker movement, the journals and letters of women missionaries describes the joy and happiness that helped them overcome the difficulties and perils of their chosen profession.
Understanding what was involved in carrying the Lord's message to new lands, including acquiring a traveling minute, finding a travel mate, finding transportation, and arriving safely, helps the reader understand and appreciate the intense efforts that Barbara Blaugdone had to go to in order to travel as extensively as she did. Not only did she travel to spread the Quaker beliefs, but also to help her friends escape jail and other forms of persecution so that they might continue to spread the word as well. She felt a higher calling and went to greater lengths that we, with our paved roads, cruise liners, and airplanes, will ever be able to fully appreciate.

After tonight's stunning Senate primary results, we're reshuffling the deck in our list of ten most vulnerable Senate seats of 2010.
Collage by Richard S. Dunham from AP photos
The class of 2010? Hoeven (top), Boozman (center), Coats (bottom) are heavily favored.
Delaware, which ranked number four previously, has dropped off the list of top takeover targets after the victory of hard-right conservative Christine O'Donnell, a candidate the Delaware state Republican chairman called unqualified and unelectable. We've also dropped Florida from the list as a result of several recent polls showing independent Charlie Crist on the wane. New to the list: Illinois and New Hampshire.
Here is a rundown on the most vulnerable Senate seats:
North Dakota
Republican Gov. John Hoeven, who was re-elected by a margin of three-to-one in 2008, has a similar lead over his overmatched Democratic opponent in the 2010 Senate race. Barring an absolute meltdown, Hoeven will replace retiring Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan.
What do you call an incumbent who is trailing in one public poll, 65 percent to 27 percent? A lame duck? Or a dead duck?
Even though Democrats may quibble about the size of the deficit, everybody in Arkansas agrees that Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln is in a deep hole. Having barely survived an aggressive primary challenge from the left, the centrist Democrat is now being attacked from the right by Republican Rep. John Boozman. Boozman is backed by an enthusiastic core of social conservatives. Democrats are dispirited. Many liberal activists are sitting out the race and are planning their campaign to oust Boozman in 2016.
Republican Dan Coats is well-positioned to replace the man who replaced him in the Senate 12 years ago, Democrat Evan Bayh. Bayh's surprise retirement at the filing deadline left his party scrambling, and Rep. Brad Ellsworth, a centrist former sheriff, has been struggling to gain traction in an economically struggling state won narrowly by President Obama.
Despite its swing-state status, Pennsylvania has elected just one Democrat to a full six-year term since 1962. After defeating party-switcher Arlen Specter in the Democratic primary, Rep. Joe Sestak, a former Navy admiral, has been trailing Republican Pat Toomey in the polls. It'll take a mistake by Toomey to turn things around.
Michael Bennet tries to define Ken Buck as a right-wing extremist..
Incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet, appointed when popular Sen. Ken Salazar was named U.S. Interior Secretary, hasn't had time to build a political base. He's running as a centrist independent, but conservative insurgent Ken Buck says he's too liberal and too close to President Obama, who campaigned for Bennet in the primary. This is a classic toss-up in a toss-up state.
Republicans are hammering Sen. Patty Murray, the fourth-ranking Democrat in the Senate, for being more concerned about Washington, D.C. than Washington state. After coasting to re-election in the past, she has a well-known challenger in Republican Dino Rossi who has a proven record of winning independent votes. He's also well-funded. Murray won't be taken by surprise, but she's no shoo-in this time.
Meet Ron Johnson in this campaign video.
Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold, an anti-establishment maverick, always runs scared. But this year, he has good reason to worry. His Republican rival, plastics baron Ron Johnson, is using his ample campaign bank account to portray Feingold as part of the Washington establishment. This contest comes down to a battle for blue-collar votes in an economically weakened "blue" state.
Barack Obama's old Senate seat is up for grabs, and Republican Rep. Mark Kirk (a rare moderate to win a GOP primary in 2010) is locked in a tight race with 34-year-old Democratic wunderkind Alexi Giannoulias, Illinois' state treasurer. It's a dirty race, too. Democrats call Kirk a serial exaggerator (make that LIAR). And Republicans link Giannoulias to organized crime. The Land of Lincoln seems more like the Land of Al Capone this year, so … anything goes.
West Virginia
Republican businessman John Raese has at least a fighting chance of becoming the first Republican to represent West Virginia in the U.S. Senate in modern times. The state has become increasingly Republican in presidential elections, and he's spending liberally to portray the Democratic nominee, Gov. Joe Manchin, as too liberal and too partisan. Manchin, in turn, invokes the name of the revered Sen. Robert Byrd, whose seat he is trying to fill and who trounced Raese six years ago. "This campaign has just begun, and John Raese is attacking me like he attacked Sen. Byrd," Manchin said in his first TV ad. "John Raese's attacks drag us all down." It'll be entertaining. And it could be close.
New Hampshire
The winner of the bloody Republican primary between conservative Kelly Ayotte and even-more-conservative Ovide Lamontagne will leave some lasting scars. Even in this Republican year, it's possible that voters in this swing state will reject a nominee they find out of the mainstream. The Republicans' job is to convince voters that they are mainstream outsiders, while Democratic candidate Paul Hodes is a liberal Washington insider (sitting member of Congress). The GOP has a slight edge going in, but in this volatile election year, retiring Republican Sen. Judd Gregg's seat is not a sure shot for his party.

Studying for/Working on Nidan Grading – Part 3Sunday, January 18th, 2009
Yesterday was to be a day (afternoon) of technical seminar in preparation for the grading today. The seminar was not a requirement, but we thought that it would be a good experience, especially for Mike, who had never been to a grading, nor had seen this dojo.
From 2 p.m. until 6 p.m., the senior judoka gave instruction and pointers to the people who were to be graded and their uke. It was intense and busy, with no breaks whatsoever.
Since we had been basically teaching ourselves how to do everything, with research on the web, Dave was relieved that we had no errors in technique. What we didn't need, though, was the shinmeisho no waza, which had seventeen new throws. It turns out that this isn't required until third degree.
At the appointed end time, instead of releasing everyone, the judges asked if any groups wanted to be tested on their kata right then. Numerous groups took the judges up on their offer. So while they were tested on kata, why not also just complete the grading? So instead of going back to the dojo for his grading today, Dave tested yesterday and other than official paperwork, he is now a nidan.
Congratulations, Dave, and many thanks to Mike for all his hard work, thousands of breakfalls, and unfailing good humour.

TV chef Paul Hollywood and his wife are trying to patch up their marriage after he confessed to an affair with an American TV presenter.
The charming blue-eyed Liverpudlian Great British Bake Off judge revealed he still loves his wife, Alexandra, and accepted that he had made 'the biggest mistake of my life' by cheating on her with Marcela Valladolid, 34, co-presenter of the US version of the show.
He told Richard Bacon on Radio Five Live: "I had an affair in the States. It was the biggest mistake of my life - because actually I still love my wife... we are talking, working together but it's going to take time."
Hollywood was widely criticised and ridiculed - over the very public revelations about his relationship with Ms Valladolid - something he said had 'shocked' him.
And he had previously revealed that the stress of the fall-out had made his 11-year-old son Joshua sick with stress and nose bleeds.
He said at the time: "My son got quite ill, nose bleeds, he was quite upset - and I don't want to bring that back. My son is my life.
"It is my fault and that's why he went through what he went through. That's my biggest scare."
Shortly after they split up, Alexandra, 49, said it was a 'complete shock' when he left her after 15 years of marriage.
She said at the time: "I love my husband and I was - and still am - very proud of what he has achieved, but there is no going back. I just want this finished with and to move on."
But it seems that she has now had a change of heart, although Paul said the prospect of them getting back together was still early days.
Flirty Paul – who has also been accused of giving preferential treatment to GBBO baker, former model Ruby Tandoh, told Richard Bacon he regretted the fame the show had brought him but accepted the criticism.
He said: "I was shocked about the whole thing kicking off the way it did... but I deserved it and I've taken it. It was my punishment."
But he added: "At the end of the day, we are moving on and I am in a much better place now."

Bike of the week - Yamaha FS1E
The famous FS1 was a Yamaha moped of the 1970s and the English version had an E on the end for England = FS1-E thereby fortuitously allowing it to gain the catchy moniker 'Fizzy'. Those of you who owned one way back when, will probably remember it with love as it provided the zippy exit from a life of buses or Shanks's pony for a generation of 1970s teenagers.

A day out at the Bemrose National Motorcycle Trial
There's a point in the motorcyclists year when optimism begins to filter into the thought processes. It's usually when the calendar clicks over from February into March, and the effect is an expectation that the temperature will climb inexorably towards double figures, and most days will be dry.
It's hard to escape this thinking, even when the meteorological records are set before us. I remember a couple of years back that the first rounds of the British Superbike series were cancelled because it snowed...at Brands Hatch...in April. But like all the devout, nothing will divert us from the path we have come to believe in and practice. And so it was that I found myself dragging a bike out of the garage on St Patrick's Day Sunday; intent on a ride into the Derbyshire Peak District to watch riders tackle sections at the Bemrose National Trial.

Bike of the Week - Honda C90
The Honda Super Cub, AKA C100, 50, Cub, C50, C70, C90, C100EX, Passport etc but for the purposes of this story the C90, may not initially be much to look at but look again! Although it may seem humble, it is in fact a fantastic piece of design and has an engine which is a truly great piece of engineering. Unlikely though it may seem, and although it's only a simple pushrod single, the C90 was the UK's top selling bike right up until the nineties. Designed to do a job, it is the best little workhorse out there and the most popular vehicle of all time.
So here is the story of the most successful motorcycle ever - respect!

Taiwan's motorcycle Grand Riders have gone global
Back in 2007 in Taiwan an interesting phenomenon was born. A group of seventeen Taiwanese elders, with an average age of eighty-one, set off on a motorcycle adventure ride around Taiwan with the object of seeing every part of the country.
They didn't start off as uber fit and healthy seniors who had been riding motorcycles and keeping fit all their lives - on the contrary two of them had had cancer, eight had heart disease, four had to wear hearing aids and all of them had arthritis.
They were not all erstwhile motorcyclists either, some hadn't even ridden before and had to learn in order to go on the trip.

TT motorcycle Legends on TV
Just Three (Fast) Blokes
The voiceover introducing the start of the ITV series TT Legends, being broadcast in half hour slots on Monday nights tells of 'ordinary men doing extraordinary things'. It follows the Honda motorcycle TT Legends Team of John McGuinness, Simon Andrews and Cameron Donald as they tackled their demanding (2012) race programme.
Demanding because they are signed up to compete in the world endurance road race series and, in almost complete contrast, 'real' road races; the NW200, Ireland's largest sporting event, and the the Isle of Man TT races.
The programmes are an insight into the spectacular high risk world of motorcycle racing, and put the three racers personalities out there for us to observe and enjoy, because in one sense they are 'ordinary men'. They come across as humble, unassuming and free of the clichéd language beloved of many sports people – think mostly footballers – and commentators. They could be your mates.

Bike of the week - Honda VFR750
Back in the day - before 1986 in fact - Honda's VF750 was considered to be an unreliable motorcycle bedevilled with camshaft and bearing problems which gave it a pretty negative image. So Honda decided to once and for all put paid to this problem reputation and developed the new Honda VFR 750, a Sportsbike which was so state of the art and so over-engineered that it would never have to cope with the same abuse as its predecessor. The VFR turned out to be such a masterpiece that its reputation still stands today and the VFR is now considered to be one of the most reliable machines ever built.

text: Park Hyatt Saigon Focuses on Food March 04, 2013 Park Hyatt Saigon has elevated its culinary experience with new faces and more choices By: Skye Mayring Asia / Pacific Square One offers four private dining areas and an outdoor terrace. // © 2013 Park Hyatt Saigon Web Exclusive Read about the Park Hyatt Tokyo, made famous in "Lost in Translation." The Details Park Hyatt Saigonwww.parkhyattsaigon.com While many guests come to the 244-room Park Hyatt Saigon for its convenient location near Ho Chi Minh City's business district, the Opera House, the Reunification Palace and the bustling Ben Thanh Market, I was drawn to the property for its focus on all things epicurean. The property has recently refined its culinary team with several new faces, including pastry chef Bertrand Sommereux, who has elevated the property's desserts and baked goods, and chef de Cuisine for Square One, Soren Lascelles, who has added a number of delectable Vietnamese and Western dishes to the menu. Also joining the team is Italian-born chef Marco Torre, previously of Grand Hyatt Hong Kong's Grissini restaurant, who is now spearheading Opera, a contemporary Italian eatery overlooking Lam Son Square.Guests will be hard pressed to find a breakfast spread better than Opera's. With its open-kitchen design, Opera invites guests to watch chefs spoon pho, poach eggs and broil bacon to crisp perfection in a wood-fired oven. During a leisurely breakfast, I sipped on a fresh coconut that was shucked on the spot, scraped fresh honey straight from a honeycomb and struggled over which pastries (pumpkin loaf, egg tarts, gigantic pretzels, chocolate doughnuts, Parisian-style baguettes) I could fit on my plate. In addition to a generous selection of cheese and charcuterie, cereals, yogurts and exotic fruits, diners are encouraged to order a main course from the breakfast menu. Good luck maintaining any diet here.A nightcap at the Park Lounge is an ideal way to end a day of exploring Ho Chi Minh City, and clients can expect to hear live music there every night of the week. The bar's ginger or lemongrass martinis are much-needed palate cleansers after a spicy, garlic-loaded dinner at Square One. So, order one — your traveling companion will thank you for it.

How to Type With a Virtual Keyboard
Two Methods:PCMacCommunity Q&A
Both Mac and PC computers have virtual keyboards that, once opened, let you type by clicking (instead of typing) letters. Virtual keyboards are great for keeping your keystrokes anonymous when typing sensitive information on the internet, as well as for people who have an easier time using the mouse than the keyboard.
1Open the Start menu. This will give you access to all of your computer's basic programs.[1]
- You can also press the ⊞ Win button on your keyboard to open the Start menu.
2Open the "All Apps" menu. This menu lists all of your applications.
- On some systems, the "All Apps" folder will be labeled "All Programs" instead.
3Find the "Windows Ease of Access" folder. Since the "All Apps" contents are organized alphabetically, head to the "W" section.[2]
- On older operating systems, open the "Accessories" folder, then find the dedicated "Ease of Access" folder within "Accessories".
4Open the "Windows Ease of Access" folder. This folder houses applications like text-to-speech and the virtual keyboard.
5Locate the "On-Screen Keyboard" icon. Click this to open Windows' virtual keyboard.
6Click the virtual keyboard keys to type. For special keys, like the ⇧ Shift key, click once to activate the function (for example, temporary upper-case) and click again to negate the function.
- If you need to access special characters or characters from a language other than English, you can use the Windows "Character Map" or Google Translate, then copy and paste.
1Open the Apple menu. It's located in the upper left corner of your screen.
2Select "System Preferences".
3Open the "Keyboard" folder. This should open a menu with your keyboard's settings.
4Click the "Show Keyboard & Character Viewers" box. You should now have a "Keyboard and Character Viewers" icon in your upper right-hand menu bar.[3]
- After you check the relevant box, you can exit out of System Preferences and the Keyboard menu.
5Open the Keyboard Viewer from your menu bar. This should open your "Keyboard Viewer" menu.
6Click "show keyboard viewer". The on-screen keyboard should appear on top of any open applications.
7Click the virtual keyboard keys to type. For special keys, like the ⇧ Shift key, click once to activate the function (for example, temporary upper-case) and click again to negate the function.
- If you need to access special characters or characters from a language other than English, you can use the Windows "Character Map" or Google Translate, then copy and paste.

Community Q&A
Where is the enter button on a virtual keyboard?wikiHow ContributorThe enter key is in the same place, no matter what keyboard you use: to the far right, directly above the Shift key.
- Having a mouse--rather than a trackpad on a laptop--will make on-screen typing much easier, since you have more control over your cursor.
- Certain viruses and malware can log your keystrokes as you type, thereby stealing your information. It's a good idea to use a virtual keyboard when changing your password, entering credit card information, or typing out your social security number, since keyloggers won't be able to track your keystrokes.
- In Windows 10, you can simply click the keyboard icon on the taskbar to access another virtual keyboard, with emojis too. The old virtual keyboard is still there.
- Although the on-screen keyboard is a great temporary fix for an unresponsive keyboard, malfunctioning hardware is often symptomatic of underlying issues that you'll want to get checked out.
- On-screen keyboards are great for security against keyloggers, but you should still never enter your personal information into a site that you don't trust.
- As with extensive regular typing, it's important to take frequent breaks from virtual typing in order to give your hands a rest from the repetitive motion.

Read some history and look at current events. There are horrible prisons, torture, war, arms trade, assassinations, brutality, EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME.
Welcome to the real world. Here is a little resource you might find helpful.
There is NO exception. Every people are guilty. Not one MORE than another. Especially since you are talking about a couple decades of American world power. The future is not looking bright for whatever complicit nation you are form or in or allied with that has done, does and will do the same things.
Where are you from? The best place on earth that has highly evolved people that have escaped the human condition and so inherent human nature?
Or you just have a hard on for the US, knowing your favorite place is no different?

Being how you are too much of a coward to admit what country you are form I will take that as an admission of guilt. That it is in fact a country with a long if not longer list of human rights violations, aggression and general brutality than the US.
I would venture to guess it is China. The ones who used tanks on their own people. The ones who invaded peaceful and silent Tibet. The ones who torture and brutalize behind the walls of their prisons. The ones who send arms to all corners of the world. The ones who persecute their own people for religious beliefs that advocate kindness and democratic principles of people governing people.
Yeah, I would guess that you *MIGHT BE* the OP as well.
too bad you were too much of a coward to say what country you hail from, but we know why. You did not because like I said, THERE IS NO EXCEPTION. Every country and people that blame the US for something are denying the FACT that their own country, people, and history is full of such atrocities and violations they accuse the US of. That their current leadership does horrible things to stay in power and would do as bad if not worse than the US if in their position.
SO. I am from the country where I was born as well and it is a mirror of the world.

Schlafly Beer 20th Anniversary Home Stretch
These final weeks of 2011 mark the home stretch in what has been a yearlong celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Schlafly Beer and we aren't about to slow down.
From now until the end of the year, Schlafly beer will be pouring from all twelve tap handles at Bigelo's Bistro in Edwardsville. The Bigelo's Tap Takeover begins tonight with a Cask of Old Ale presented by Schlafly co-founder, Dan Kopman.
Anniversary "Party Central" shifts from Edwardsville to downtown St. Louis on December 22nd, when we kick off four days of 1991 beer prices and special anniversary concerts at the Schlafly Tap Room. These free concerts feature both old and new friends and take place in the Club Room.
Finally, this week we introduce the world to our much-anticipated fourth and final beer in our 20th Anniversary Series, No.20 Volume 4: Southern Hemisphere IPA. Created by our current generation of Schlafly brewers, this IPA is kettle-hopped and dry-hopped with a unique hop from Tasmania, called Galaxy. This strong, aromatic hop is distinctly different from traditional Pacific Northwest varieties.
Look for No. 20: Volume 4 to go on draft at the Tap Room starting December 22nd. It will also be available for sale in 750ml bottles at both breweries the same day or shortly thereafter.
