Jemima Clementine & Isaac Barnaby
Claire McMullins and Jeremy Carter when Claire turned up at his office for a basket weaving class having read the map wrong. They are expecting a baby girl. Claire would like a name to honor her Irish heritage but Jeremy would like something a little more off the map. The babies name have two middle names which honor the parents first names. Claire has synesthesia and dislikes the letter h so this letter must be avoided.

Abbey Clarice Jemma [I took "off the map" literally, there are several towns in Ireland called Abbey.]
Lucy and Floyd Dargus are expecting twin girls. Their first names must come from mountain ranges. They each have two middle name, the first must have a vintage feel and the second must be quirky and short. They prefer not to use names that start with D, but will tolerate a name beginning with that letter as the first middle name only.

Rocky Felicia Nell (aaah this one was hard) & Atlas Nora Finch
Maxine and Phillip run a pizza shop in London. They do not want a name that has a vintage, dated or a historical feel and would like something modern. They do not want anything outrageous like coffee/curry and nothing very popular. The middle name needs to mean happy/happiness. They do not want a name starting with their initials.

A Little Love
Happy Valentine's Day! I'm managing to sneak in here to post a little 'dillo love for the occasion (and as a promo piece for my new portfolio site, aliciapolicia.com).
I know. Now's a random time to show up again. I missed so many other holidays! Where have I been? What have I been up to? Well, the last few months I've been very busy (preparing for and) working on this cuteness:
As for now, we're trying to find our groove and (slowly but surely) get back into the swing of things. I'm loving every minute, though. So cute!

Ready for Fall
Wishful thinking. It works, right? If so, I wish the days of highs in the 90s would cease already and let's bring on the fall. I am ready.
So, you know. That's what this piece was about. Wishful thinking.
I have a feeling that sometime, sometime, summer will end. I dunno. Let's call it a hunch (a hunch that we'll call science).
In other news, I'm trying to get back into the blogosphere after an unexpected hiatus. Hurrah! Also, I'm working on trying to get this blog and all my art stuff resituated over at my new site, www.aliciapolicia.com .
Oh! And I'll be blogging over at the oh-so-wonderful Girllustrators site from time to time now, too. And if you haven't checked out their blog yet, you should. These are some marvelous and talented ladies, and I am fortunate to keep their company.
In summary, my wishful thoughts: cooler weather, new artwork, back to blogging, and just to make it officially all caps and underlined, PRODUCTIVITY.

Crafty Kit Cuteness
It's been a few years since I first saw the kits for these super cute Japanese stuffed felt wind up toys online. I have always loved them, but have always passed them by because I'm not much of a kit crafter. Or at least I haven't been in a very, very, very long time.
Anyway, typically I like to collect my crafting components independently as opposed to having them ready for me, and often prefer to just figure it out myself instead of following detailed instructions. I know. I'm a rebel (not really - I'm a strict adherer to Ikea instructions, just not crafty instructions).
However, when I was making a recent fabric purchase from The Cloth Parcel and saw that they happened to have several of the kits in stock, I decided to splurge and treat myself to some felted cuteness.
What does the non-kit-crafter have to say about her latest kit crafting? It was fun! I really enjoyed the process and I super enjoy my felt wind up Red Riding Hood. I especially love her little bottle of wine and wheel of cheese in her basket. Grandma is a foodie.
The only problem is now I have Little Red Riding Hood on the brain, and it makes me wanna draw some fables and fairy tales. I reckon that's not really a problem though, is it?

June Cukes
Yesterday I realized that June is practically over and I haven't made a blog post all month. That's no good.
That's why I drew up these various cucumbers having a pre-pickle hang out. I know it's not much, but I've also been feeling under the weather. Blah. Sick in summer is the worst.
I've also been eating a lot of cucumbers. Hmmm… I hope they're not what's been making me not feel so swell! I do love me some cukes.

Rain, Rain! (And Ink)
I had a whole day's worth of outdoor tasks and chores ready for today.
I was in the midst of them when I heard thunder, which prompted me to check out the weather forecast. You know, the weather forecast I checked a million times before setting out to do all of my outdoor chores. There it was: a big ol' rainstorm on the way.
I'm not going to complain. We need the rain here in Texas. Desperately. And it saves me from having to water the garden. So, yay!
I decided to use some indoor down time to play around, art-wise. This li'l lady and her flower-brella is what came out. What can I say? I had rain on the brain.
I reckon I was inspired in part by my first meeting with the Girllustrators on Monday...
The Girllustrators are a wonderful, warm, welcoming and especially talented group of lady illustrators and SCBWI members based here in Austin, and I am so excited to have been invited to join them!
Anyway, I had made a passing comment during our get together about how I prefer doodling with a pencil over doodling with a pen. That's when Shelley Ann Jackson said,"You should try drawing in ink. Sometimes ink is more freeing, because you can't erase it."
Thus, when the rain thwarted my outdoor plans, I set out on my doodle exercise for today. Drawing in ink. No sketches. No do-overs. Just let it roll and see what happens. Let myself be rough and scratchy and happy accident-full.
I like it, and it turns out it was freeing.
That said - Thanks, Professor Shelley!
P.S. I need to figure out a better way to hold my pen when drawing with ink. Or maybe I need a new pen.Yucko.

Analog Art Time
I've been hauling a huge piece of uncut illustration board around since college. It has not been very easy to keep and store.
Today, I cut it up into manageable pieces and started prepping it for some good old fashioned, non digital, analog artwork.
I kinda missed doing this (here is a look-see at what I'm working on, by the way).
I do not miss having to store a giant piece of illustration board, however.

May the Fourth Be With You!
I always tell myself I'll remember to make a special Star Wars post for May the Fourth. You know, because I love Star Wars, and it's kinda become requisite for Star Wars fans to do so.
And I always, without fail, end up forgetting to get one up in a timely manner. That's just how I work.
The Leia of Guadalupe sketches started out as an idea for Star Wars Day (May the Fourth), but I ended up posting it years after I originally thought of it and sketched it out. Procrastination, thy name is Alicia.
But this year, I did it! Hurrah!
I present to you my own version of Boushh Leia. Leia disguised as the bounty hunter, Boushh, was my favorite Leia version when growing up. I used to pretend I was Leia rescuing Han from his carbonite prison, guiding him through Jabba's palace to safety because he was all blind and helpless. Everyone was threatened by my thermal detonator. It was pretty awesome.
And my Boushh Leia figure was my favorite. First off, it was mine! Not my brothers'!* Secondly: she had a helmet. And action figures with removable helmets were the best.
So here's to Star Wars! Here's to Leia! And here's to the many merry memories this fairy tale space saga has given all of us! May the force be with you.
* I was born in 1980, so although there was Star Wars stuff present throughout my life, none of it got to be officially mine until Jedi. Before then I was stuck with playing with the toys of my older brothers.

Tea Party – In Space!
Space tea is probably better than Tang, I'd imagine.
I've been trying to push myself to make some more art. Art, art, art, improve, improve, improve. Time for new stuff, and lots of it. And I came up with this. And I happen to think it's adorable!
My favorite part: How did that cookie get a bite out of it? Hmmm...
I even made a postcard of it, and had the pleasure of recently doling out those postcards at the SCBWI Houston conference, where I:
• Met awesome, friendly, cool, and incredibly talented writers and illustrators from all around. Seriously wonderful people, they are.
• Won a door prize in the raffle! I never win anything in those things.
• Learned a lot from incredible guest speakers like Peter Brown, Paul Rodeen, and Lucy Ruth Cummins
• And last but certainly not least, I won first place in the illustrator portfolio showcase! Hooray!
I was so shocked and surprised when my name was announced that I actually did the double hands-to-my-face-in-surprise move that everyone uses whilst mocking beauty pageant contestants. It was a totally involuntary reflex, I promise.
All this has added up to lighting a big ol' inspiring fire under my illustratin' behind. Way to inspire, y'all!

Self Portrait (With Cat)
You know how some artists and illustrators draw cartoony versions of themselves all the time, every livelong day, and it's as effortless as breathing to them because that's just how often they're going around drawing themselves?
Yeah, well, I am not one of those artists. I find it far easier and more entertaining to go about drawing cartoony versions of everyone else in the world.
But this time, I think I finally worked up a self portrait that I actually like!
And of course, the cat made it in there, because at this point, drawing her is as effortless as breathing.

Cutest Mascot Ever!
Just a quickie post to root for my alma mater, Syracuse University, in their quest for basketball domination.
On a whim, whilst watching the last few minutes of the Louisville V. Wichita State, I decided to make a little felt and clementine Otto the Orange (and then I ran outside to quickly photograph it before the sun was completely down).
Can your team's mascot be easily (and cutely) made from fruit? Probably not.
Therefore, cutest mascot ever goes to Syracuse! Go Orange!

70. The belly is the best clock there is.
71. Can't buy honor in the market. (Obvious meaning; but also a sigh of some itinerant clanless dwarves that wish for a more proper life.)

I was in Boston last year and it felt a lot like Montreal, except for signs of wealth in the city and the fact that everyone spoke English. I enjoyed it and the rest of the New England area. The region has a nice European feel to it that is distinct from other parts of the US that I have visited. One of my friends will be starting a post-doc at Harvard in the fall so I will likely be coming down a couple of times while he's there.
It's a pleasure and honour to be on this forum. I started following some of the discussions on the forum a while back starting with a particularly interesting thread titled "Dump the Punch".
Another site that I like to follow belong to a Goju Ryu Sensei in Australia - http://dandjurdjevic.blogspot.ca He has written some very interesting essays on various topics in the martial arts.

On Wednesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that it would be "uncomfortable" around the team in the coming days and weeks as he tries to make changes that will break the team "out of that cycle" of finishing in the middle of the pack.
When you're talking about making changes to break out of cycles, the head coach is always one of the first places you look so it's no surprise that Jason Garrett fielded some questions about Jones' comments on Thursday. It's even less of a surprise to hear him embrace the idea, presumably in hopes that one of the changes isn't to his employment status.
"If we think collectively that something can help us in doing something different than we're doing it now — that's going to make us a better football team — I'm open to it," Garrett said on KRLD, via ESPNDallas.com. "I've made no bones about that from the beginning. I just believe in that from the bottom of my heart."
Garrett said "anything and everything" is up for discussion, which would include the possibility of adding an offensive coordinator to take play calling duties away from Garrett. Garrett said earlier this week that he didn't anticipate making a change on that front, although an angry boss can have a way of making you reassess the situation.
There's change after every season in the NFL, it's really a question of magnitude. Jones sounded like a man ready to make big changes, but his actions haven't always meshed with his words in the past. If they do this time, Garrett sounds ready to implement them.
Assuming, of course, he isn't one of them.

I was gifted one of those silicone steamers that you pop in the microwave to steam cook vegetables, salmon, and what have you. I live in Tokyo at the mo, and they are all the rage in Japan these days. I haven't lived in the States for a while now so I'm not sure if they are popular anywhere else, but I was startled to find there is very little information about this type of cooking online. The steamer came with a pamphlet but I don't like the recipes in there. I'm also not the type that likes steamed food with just a little S&P - I like my food to have a little kick in it! I watched a few videos on Youtube and most of them cook salmon and asparagus or broccoli in them - I don't eat fish! So, what do I do with this thing? Anybody own one? I want to cook pasta, chicken, things that go over rice. I saw one Youtube HSN video where they said you could make cornbread in them!
Recipes, please?
I guess you mean these Lékué steamers? If so, they have some recipes on their website that you could get started with. They seem to be quite popular in France too, though I have not bought one myself so have no first hand experience.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
I used it today to make a pasta sauce + veggies + weiners for lunch. We already had pasta, mushroom, onions, asparagus, and 3/4 a can of tomatoes so I decided to buy "weiners" since the pamphlet the thing came with showed cooking time for them, and they are also my husband's favorite! I cut up all the veggies and weiners and placed them in the (sturdy, for silicon) bottom of the container, whacked what little tomatoes we had in there, and added some chopped garlic. Used the lid to cover, set the microwave for 3 minutes while the pasta was boiling. I let the pasta cook till al dente and then opened the steamer - slightly disappointing. I found that the steamer destroyed the tomatoes into a runny red liquid, probably because I failed to compensate the amount of tomato to the amount of water/condensation steaming the veggies would produce. I took a cue from the Japanese and added ketchup in an attempt to thicken the runny liquid and combined the "sauce" with the drained pasta. Hubs said he liked it but as a 27 year old male he doesn't discriminate.
The process was comparatively quick to letting the tomatoes and veggies simmer in a sauce pot over the stove. Clean up was also very, very simple as all of it slid right out of the container. I found that the chopped onions were not consistently cooked through; I'll need to be more careful with chopping uniform sizes if I want to use the steamer in the future.
Tonight I'm going to try it with some pre-made tsukune with broccoli and onions. While they are in the microwave I'll prepare a sauce and tofu steaks. I'm hoping the tsukune won't be swimming in liquid when I open the lid otherwise I'll have to rethink how I can use this - only food that can afford to get very, very wet.
Thanks for the link Maki! My steamer is something like that!

Texas Memory Systems longs to seduce 'larger player'
Who will flash the cash for this flash cache stash?
Fancy spending splashing some cash to buy some flash? Then go to the Lone Star state, where Texas Memory Systems has put itself up for sale.
Privately owned TMS has been operating for 33 years. It makes RamSan shared block-access flash memory arrays and has a PCIe flash card line under the RamSan brand as well. It recently introduced high-availability RamSan product. Such flash arrays are beginning to replace disk drive arrays or array sections using 15K drives to store fast-access data. PCEe flash is being used to accelerate apps in servers by storing hottest data right next to the app and so lowering data access latency greatly compared to network access from a storage array, or even locally-attached disk.
TMS president Dan Scheel has told Reuters that TMS is interested in being bought by a larger IT player with a corporate customer base as its channels could greatly broaden TMS' addressable market and accelerate its product sales growth. Scheel was thinking of companies in the class of EMC, HP, IBM, Oracle and NetApp.
We could add Dell and HDS to that list.
The company hopes to choose an investment bank next year. Violin Memory, a competitor, is hoping for an IPO in the middle of next year. Well-funded startups such as SolidFire, Pure Storage and others are hastening to market with flash-based arrays. Consumer flash supplier SanDisk has bought an SSD controller company, Pliant. LSI has bought SandForce. Seagate and Western Digital are driving into the flash market. Apple is buying Anobit. Consolidation is in the air.
It could be that TMS thinks it will be soon be game over for smaller players in the flash world.
TMS is a highly-reputable brand with a solid track record and a good roadmap. It would be a great buy for any storage and/or systems company that lacks its own in-house flash expertise and needs it. ®

Tech sympathisers join ex HP boss in head-shaving protest
The mad, bad world of April foolery
Column One of the more astonishing non-tech news stories this weekend was the discovery of a hybrid "ling" or heather shrub, which has powerful Viagra-like properties.
Equally astonishing, to those who knew her, was the discovery that Carly Fiorina has taken against the media and shaved her head as a sign of feminist solidarity with pop singer Britney Spears. Less surprising, perhaps, is the leaking of plans to protect robots from abuse by humans: "The 'Robot Ethics Charter', which will be unveiled later this year, will insist that humans should not exploit robots and should use them responsibly."
Tech freaks who remember the first attempts at high fidelity 100 years ago will have been quite pleased to learn that the dog which thought a gramophone recording was his master's voice is to get its last appearance: "This week the HMV group is switching to Gromit. The only masters voice he is used to is Wallace saying: 'Nice cheese, Gromit', as reported by The Times online. It added: "It is a unique marketing deal in which no money has changed hands."
In the arts, or maybe politics, Kevin Spacey has confessed to having found a theatrical role for soon-to-be-ex Prime Minister Tony Blair: Arthur Miller's The Crucible, in which Blair will play the part of the Rev John Hale. It is, says The Observer, likely to be a sell-out.
Kevin Spacey told The Observer: 'We're always looking out for talent in unexpected places. When I first approached Tony at the Labour conference he just laughed. Then he looked at me and said: "Seriously?"
Sadly, as 1 April comes to an end in the UK, the world turns out to be less sceptical than even the fictional Blair.
"Love it or hate it, 29 per cent of workers say they have either initiated or been on the receiving end of an April Fools' Day prank at work, according to a press release about CareerBuilder.com's annual April Fools' Day survey," Baltimore TV station WBAL said.
Is this "press release" kosher? Hard to be sure. The basic thrust of the article - that people at work play tricks on each other today - has to be treated sceptically. And nobody else has mentioned this "annual survey" either.
The Hoax Museum was quoted by The Tide News for 10 of the best hoaxes, ever. Yes, there really is a museum of hoaxes.
The Google Gmail Paper announcement convinced some; the Google TiSP news, rather fewer. Some shared the TiSP news: "In what could be seen as a major push by the web search leader from providing services over the data communications lines of telecom companies to data over municipal plumbing systems, the Mountain View, Ca. company has now made available its Toilet / WiFi Internet service, affectionately called TiSP," said one blogger, but made it clear that this was, indeed, an April Fool prank (and if you think the Gmail Paper goes well with the Google toilet, you're right).
Others, sadly, just reproduced the press release verbatim, which could be called tongue-in-cheek, or could be called "leaving the press releases for Sunday to the intern". No marks to the Arizona Reporter, then. Or was that the prank? Hm...
A bad day then to release real breakthrough news, as a group of Australian cancer researchers did. At least you can verify that one: most reports came out Friday.
Harder to understand is the Monday 2 April date IT Wire put on "Astronaut Sunita Williams preps for space marathon" - a story saying that despite being stuck in orbit she'll run the Boston race on a treadmill. Most reports came out with that one Friday, too! Oh, yeah, sadly it is true.
Meanwhile, if someone offers you "a proof copy of the theatre programme, contains a cast list showing Tony Blair's name against the part of Reverend John Hale," then don't part with money. As for the Robot Charter? Afraid that's true, too. Unless the Korean April Fool's day comes in early March...because that's when the story first ran.
Actually, to be really, really safe, it's probably best you don't read anything on eBay for another week.
But I'm pretty sure this is the only intentionally daft story in The Register this weekend...well, maybe. ®

Read those MTBF specs carefully... Typically they'll have some sort of usage tied to it (so many seeks per second, number of power up/power down cycles). ALso check the temperature effects on MTBF. It's not unheard of for mfrs to specify MTBF assuming a 20C drive temperature, which is unrealistically cold. Typically MTBF halves for each 10C rise in temperature. All the big mfrs have fairly decent descriptions of how they rate MTBF for their various drive classes. Note well that the assumptions of use for drives intended for, e.g. consumer PCs, are very different from those intended for server duty, and this is primarily determined by how they are positioned in the market.

While the details remain unclear, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation tell PFT that Redskins tackle Trent Williams was merely the victim in the incident that resulted in an injury that required stitches.
As one source explained it, Williams was doing nothing wrong and was not at fault. A statement is expected to be released eventually by local authorities. Another source said that others have been arrested.
Williams, we're told, will attend the Pro Bowl and be treated as a full member of the NFC team. He will be on the sidelines with his teammates, but due to the injury he will not play.

[Illinois] CSE 2013: Generating Rich Event Data on Civil Strife: A Progressive Supervised-Learning Approach Part 1
Published on
This paper examines the challenges and opportunities that "big data" poses to scholars advancing research frontiers in the social sciences. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of machine-based and human-centric approaches to information extraction and argues for use of a hybrid approach, one that employs tools developed by data scientists to leverage the relative strengths of both machines and humans. The notion of a progressive, supervised-learning approach is developed and illustrated using the Social, Political and Economic Event Database (SPEED) project's Societal Stability Protocol (SSP). The SSP generates rich event data on civil strife and illustrates the advantages of employing a supervised-learning approach in contrast to conventional approaches for generating civil strife data. We show that conventional event-count approaches miss a great deal of within-category variance (e.g., number of demonstrators, types of weapons used, number of people killed or injured). We also show that conventional efforts to categorize longer periods of civil war or societal instability have been systematically mis-specified. To demonstrate the capacity of rich event data to open new research frontiers, SSP data on event intensities and origins are used to trace the changing role of political, class-based and socio-cultural factors in generating civil strife over the post WWII era.
Prof. Scott Althaus, Political Science and Communication, University of Illinois
After completing his doctoral work in political science at Northwestern University, Professor Althaus joined the University of Illinois faculty in 1996 with a joint appointment in the Political Science and Communication departments. He is currently a professor in both departments, and also associate director of UIUC's Cline Center for Democracy, where he has been a faculty affiliate since 2004. Professor Althaus's research and teaching interests center on the communication processes by which ordinary citizens become (in theory, at least) empowered to exercise popular sovereignty in democratic societies, as well as on the communication processes by which the opinions of these citizens are conveyed to government officials, who (in theory, at least) must transform the will of the people into political action. His work therefore focuses on three areas of inquiry: (1) the processes and constraints that shape the journalistic construction of news about public affairs, (2) the processes and constraints that influence how news audiences receive and utilize public affairs information, and (3) the channels of communication that allow individual members of a polity to speak in a collective voice as a public. He has particular interests in the quantitative analysis of political discourse, opinion surveys as channels for mass communication and political representation, the impact of strategic communication activities on news coverage and public opinion, the psychology of information processing, and communication concepts in democratic theory.
Professor Althaus serves on the editorial boards of Critical Review, Human Communication Research, Journal of Communication, Political Communication, and Public Opinion Quarterly. His research has appeared in the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, Communication Research, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Journal of Politics, Public Opinion Quarterly, and Political Communication. His book on the political uses of opinion surveys in democratic societies, Collective Preferences in Democratic Politics: Opinion Surveys and the Will of the People (Cambridge University Press, 2003) , was awarded a 2004 Goldsmith Book Prize by the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University, and a 2004 David Easton Book Prize by the Foundations of Political Theory section of the American Political Science Association. He was named a Merriam Professorial Scholar by the UIUC Department of Political Science and the Cline Center for Democracy (2012-4, 2010-2), a 2004-5 Beckman Associate by the UIUC Center for Advanced Studies, and a 2003-4 Helen Corley Petit Scholar by the UIUC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Yes, all the materials used have been kiln dried.
Other Frequently Asked Questions:
Are the transportation costs included in the price of the log house?
No. The house has its own price and the cost of the transportation is settled with every client separately, depending on the delivery location and means of transportation.
How much does it cost to get my log home delivered to me?
The prices of your log home delivery change a lot depending on the location, size, and time of the shipment.
Does the construction site need any special preparation before the assembly of the log part of the house?
The site has to have access roads for heavy trucks, the foundation should be ready and the ground smoothed.
Does a log house need to be built during summer months?
No. The really nice thing about log houses is that they can be built anytime.
What kind of products should be used for the inner and outer finishes?
For the facade we recommend a special certified wood sealant "Aidol" HK-Lasur. This protects the wood from insects, blue stains and mould. For the inside of the house we suggest you use as natural products as possible (linseed oil, beeswax, etc).
Is the size of the log house limited by the length of the logs used?
No, the length of the logs does not dictate the size of the house or individual rooms. The lengths of materials are only restricted by the measures of transportation.
Which type of foundation is best suited for a log house?
The type of foundation needed has more to do with the properties of the soil and ground on the building site and the size of the house. You can use any type of foundation (pier foundation, strip foundation, base slab).
Do log homes place any special demands on utilities (pipe lines, sewer, etc.)?
No, all traditional solutions work fine with log houses.
How much does a log house settle?
It depends on the profile of the logs used. For solid log profiles the settlement is about 3-4% for every meter of height. If glued laminated log profiles are used you will have settlement around 1%. Since the settlement is taken into notice during the engineering process you can move into your new home right away.
How much does it costs to have the manufacturer build the house?
The erection costs are directly related to the amount of work needed and to the location of the new house. When doing primary calculations, you should consider the costs to be around 30% (+-5%) of the house price.
Can I build the log house myself?
Yes, you can! But be sure to consider all the positive and negative aspects before you make your decision.
Is a log house completely maintenance free after completion?
A log house does need some care from the new owner, i.e. adjusting metallic tie rods and metallic regulating rods. The work needed is nothing major and the company provides detailed care instructions on the completion of the house.
How energy efficient is a log home?
Wood is the best insulation material nature has to offer. It does not mean that you will have most energy-efficient house just by increasing the thickness of the walls. Like with every other type of house you have to consider the insulation norms for floors, ceilings and roof, use the right kind of doors and windows, etc. Furthermore, when you add a knowledgeable builder to your project you will have a well insulated, energy-efficient house.
Is it cheaper to order a ready-made log home kit?
There is no substantial cost cut since personalized plans do not add a significant price to the log home manufacturing process.
Do you build log homes from unique plans/projects?
Yes. This is one of our key assets. We will always find the best solution for every client. You can send your log home plans to us and we send you the price estimate with 3d drawings and detailed floor plans.
What kind of wood do you use?
We use pine, but can also use spruce if a client so desires. More information under Technology
Are log homes cheaper to build compared to houses from other materials?
Log houses are usually cheaper then similar size stone houses or concrete houses
How much does a log house cost?
One square meter (1m2 = 10,7 sq. feet) of floor space costs between 160 - 450 EUR. The price is influenced by the type of logs and other materials used, the location of the building etc.
How can Palmatin offer high quality at competitive prices?
We control the manufacturing pipeline from end to finish by doing everything ourselves. Costs stay down because there are no sales middle-men. It also means manufacturing quality can be fully monitored and therefore guaranteed at all stages of the manufacturing process.

Actually, in spite of the fact that Duke (partly) owns its own power company, I don't think that they get all that much of a discount. I'm also quite certain the the nuclear plant about 20 miles from here doesn't sell its electricity to customers across the county line (it's not a Duke Power plant but rather CP&L IIRC) for any less than Duke and Durham get it. There is a nifty map here: http://www.coaleducation.org/Ky_Coal_Facts/electricity/average_cost.htm that shows the average electricity costs throughout the USA as of 2001 -- they are almost certainly a half-cent/KW-hr higher across the board if not a whole cent higher due to the war and oil price boosts. Note that they range from $0.04 and change in major coal states to $0.11 and change per KW-hr (where I'm sure a chunk of the difference is taxes in different states). My recollection from discussions at Duke is that Duke pays around $0.06/KW-hr, not a huge discount over what I pay at home. Maybe major industrial consumers of electricity do better in states like Michigan, but I don't think that there is enough margin even in the coal states to drop prices to $0.01/KW-hr after paying for the fuel itself for anything but nuclear. Where David lives, in CA, electricity is about as expensive as it is anywhere. At a guess currently over ten cents/KW-hr, probably even for Universities. David? rgb -- Robert G.

Modern Window Boxes
If you live in a tiny apartment without a terrace or balcony, there's still a way to enjoy the great outdoors from indoors: window boxes!
The problem is that most window boxes are designed with your grandmother's Victorian in mind, and not a modern apartment or house. If paneled wood, or faux terracotta just doesn't do it for you, I've rounded up 5 modern choices:
1. This sleek beauty is available at PureModern for $126.50-$435.50
2. Target's popular Smith and Hawken line gives us this Metal Modular Window Collection $99-$119
3. These geometric planters from GI Designs may be a little out there, but choosing one shape (and color) and sticking to it could make quite a statement. $34-$45
4. A design classic, Jayson Home & Garden's Teak flower boxes are a great buy and if you live in the Chicago area, they'll even plant them for you —for a fee, of course. $40-$46
5. Greenbo Urban Railing Planter's available from Master Gardening on Amazon are great if you live in an older building with a railing across the front of the windows. $25
Happy gardening!

Confession Tuesday (on Wed.): The Find Your Tribe Edition
Dear Reader,
It's been two missed confessions and a lot of everything else going on. Apologies.
But with that apology, I realize I owe you two weeks worth of confessions, or perhaps, just to be even more honest, a little more vulnerable.
Because you waited two weeks, I will not tell you how when making a chocolate sundae at a sundae bar, I hide huge amounts of chocolate sauce under the ice cream so people do not think I'm being piggy, however, there is no way to hide my gluttonous use of whipped cream. I confess, when it comes to sweets, I love more.
So that's not what we're going to talk about. Let's get to the passion. To the confessional--
I confess last night I returned to my MFA program taking place in the beautiful Pacific Lutheran University. I was a student there in 2004, almost ten years ago. I started my MFA program 3 weeks after my stepfather, who I loved, passed away unexpectedly from a stroke. I was a younger mother leaving her 3 1/2 year old to attend school. All of it felt overwhelming and scary, and yet, I showed up and began.
Returning to school to get my MFA made me realize how much more comfortable I am with writers, or maybe it's a bigger group-- artists, people who are not satisfied with just being one thing--a mother, a wife, a husband, a teacher, a father, a worker, a ____________ (fill in the blank) and create.
I love being with people who are so passionate about something so much that they need their own time. And they get cranky when they don't have it.
Last night, just walking into this new group of people, I felt completely comfortable even though I didn't know everyone and in fact, there were so many I didn't know.
I saw some of my favorite faculty members-- Peggy Shumaker, Brenda Miller, David Biespiel, Kevin Clark, Ann Pancake, Linda Bierds, Sherry Simpson, and of course, the director of the program Stan Rubin & Judith Kitchen, some alums now working for the program - Katrina & Rebecca -, a few students in the program I recognized, but a lot of people I didn't know, but who oddly, I felt a connection with even though we had just met.
This is what it means to find your tribe.
This is why it's important whether online or in-person (in-person is so much better) that you connect with other writers.
Last night my good writer friends laughed at my "problems" --I was half-complaining that all my book deadlines have fallen during summer and how much editing work I've taken on and how I've hardly gone out and paddleboarded. They said, "Yes, those are terrible problems-- you're publishing your 3rd book and you're getting paying work, we feel for you." It's always nice to have friends call you out on your BS.
And they did this in the sweet way and an understanding way. Saying things like, "Sometimes I feel as if I'm not using my summer correctly either" and "I get it, you need to let stuff drop away so your own writing time can come in."
People either love your writing tendencies or despise you for it.
They think you're selfish, whiny, narcissistic, introverted, or completely in your crazy dreamland, or they love you for it.
Sometimes when I'm out in the world without my friends who are writers, I feel awkward.
I confess I hate small talk and just want to get to what really matters. I can't talk about the weather anymore.
We need to surround ourselves with people who support our quirkiness and weird creative needs.
I confess, I am currently photographing garbage.
Yes, I go to the beach each day, pick up garbage, bring it back to my home and photograph it. It's crazy, but I feel as if I'm creating something larger, it's become a side project.
My family does not think it's weird that there are plastic bottles on our walkway and not in the garbage can. They realize this is me. They know if I don't do my creative projects, I am cranky. I get all tense and want to be alone. Need to be alone.
Some people don't understand this. They will say you're being rude or selfish. They will say you should be 1) keeping a lovely home 2) working more overtime so your family can have nice things 3) hanging out with more friends.
Don't believe them.
Believe we are all put on this earth to do something more and if you don't know what that is, quiet down and listen to your inner voice.
Sometimes it's hard to hear because of all the chatter in the world. That's the challenge.
But we are not put on this earth to create a body without cellulite or to fit in a pair of size 8 jeans. We are not put on this earth to worry about dustbunnies or have a weed-free yard.
We are put on this earth to do something greater.
You might not have the level of Oprah to touch a billion viewers, but no worries, that job is taken. Your job is not.
Your position on earth has not been filled until you fill it.
Dream bigger.
If there's a weird nagging voice inside of you that is calling you to write, then do it. It's not there for the heck of it.
If you get the urge to paint, do it.
If you get the urge to start a group that helps abandoned dogs, go for it.
The goal is to create.
We each have something we're passionate about.
Sometimes we're afraid to follow that passion because we're afraid it won't work out. Here's the deal-- doing what you don't love is when it isn't working out. Living a life you don't want to lead is when it's not working out.
Yes, it's scary. I'm freaked out most of the time, but at least I'm happy. Happy with the occasional freakout is better than unhappy in a unsatisfying comfortable life.
I confess returning to my MFA program reminded me how much better I am when I am being a writer in the world.
Sometimes you don't know the impact your having on others. Most of the time you don't know the impact you're having on others. Quality over quantity every time.
I confess I have to work on this all the time. I quit my corporate job in 1997 and I'm *still* constantly reminding myself I don't have to live my life like other people.
I can be one of those kids doing her own thing. And that's okay. And for me, it's better.

I'm a big fan of Debra Dixon's book: GMC: Goal, Motivation, and Conflict. I read this book every time I start a new project. Why? Because the book really helps me stay on track with what the plot bunny comes up with in my head. Book ideas are great, but they won't help make a great book if my protagonist or antagonist are walking around randomly with no goals and reasons why they do what they do. To help facilitate the brainstorming process I created the GMC Wizard. (Especially when I got tired of creating my own grid each and every time.)
Instructions: From the first screen you enter basic information about your character that you may want to reference later if you plan to print out the results.
- After you enter basic information (if you like), you move on to the External GMC screen. Now you will build you goal-motivation-conflict statement. You start with the goal. Then the motivation for that goal and then finally the conflict that will hinder that goal from coming to past.
- The next screen is for the Internal GMC. You'll do the same steps. From there you'll work on the external GMC to the internal GMC.
- You can work on two sets GMC statements (internal and external) at a time. Once you are done you can print the results for later if you like. When you press the View Printable Grid you will be taken to a new window with the grids that you can print.
Future Plans:
- GMC-O-Matic - For those times when you just need a sample GMC period.
- Additional Slots so I can build GMCs for chapters and scenes.

Never got around to posting about Card Catalog while it was in progress. I've written before about my affection for card catalogs, which developed in high school when I worked at a public library. I still work with books professionally, so this quilt seemed like a natural—especially since I wanted to try printing on fabric.
The bibliographic data is genuine, downloaded from the British Library and the Library of Congress, though I had to fudge some of the lacking info to flesh the cards out (an embarrassing level of Dewey Decimal recall helped). I picked out several fonts that looked like catalog cards, some with a typewritten look, others dot matrix.
The other blocks are various shades of brown to suggest catalog cabinets. I knew I wanted a wood-grain pattern for the brown rectangles, but I hadn't ever hand quilted—and that's where the Mother came in, with lessons over Christmas. Usually, the Mother told me, beginning quilters use polyester batting, thread the same color as the fabric, a regular design, and guide lines drawn on the fabric. Me, I went with cotton batting, contrasting thread, and a complicated, freehand design. Some of this was out of ignorance, but some was just because I'm too impatient to practice on a throwaway project before starting on the real stuff. It took some time to get my stitches even too, but I was amazed how dense the quilting was by the end. And I love how the texture turned out. The grommets add a little bit of extra detail to a design that's essentially pretty simple. I'm thrilled with how it turned out. The quilt's seasonally appropriate, too, since it's evidently National Library Lovers Month.
And what did we learn?
- Peeling the inkjet fabric off their paper backings distorts everything. And frays the edges. I'm also convinced that what my PC tells me is 3.5 inches is actually a little less in the real, printed world. My printer will let me have a quarter-inch margin on three sides of a page, which I intended to use as the seam allowance, but in future I'll give the blocks some extra room to allow for threads to fray from the edges when the backing comes off.
- Hand quilting is hugely satisfying. A perfect excuse for plopping in front of the telly in the winter. Since my previous quilts were made from patterns and machine quilted by the Mother, it was very pleasing to finish a quilt I'd designed, pieced, and quilted entirely on my own. And the act of hand quilting itself is extremely relaxing and therapeutic, if a little rough on the middle finger of one's nondominant hand.
- A quarter-inch binding is plenty. The Mother insisted this was true, particularly for small quilts, but I wasn't sure I'd manage it. This binding turned out much crisper than my previous ones, both at the corners and along the edges, and it makes the whole quilt look more finished. There was one spot where the block was a little narrow and I had to fudge the binding a bit, so I'm working on more accurate seam allowances.
- Not every quilt has a home. I knew from growing up that quilts didn't have a purpose and that they quite easily overtook the space available to them. In my one-bedroom apartment, this one had nowhere to go. Eventually I stuck it up on the wall in an odd place, but it lets me admire my handiwork, so I'm happy.
Since finishing the Card Catalog quilt, I've been working on this quilt for the Other, using fabric he picked out when I was in California. It's another quite simple design—I've only been piecing rectangles so far (I'm itching to try triangles)—but I staggered the grid to give it some movement. I'm calling it Assembly Line. The top is all pieced, but I'm going to appliqué a flamingo on in more greens and mustards. The binding and the eye will be flamingo pink, and I'm considering using the same pink for the quilting thread. I'm not entirely sure yet. For now, I just need to do a little playing about to work out how big I can make the flamingo with the fabric I have.

Strike-hit Amplats reports R6.3bn loss
"Operationally, 2012 was a challenging year for Anglo American Platinum[Amplats] and the platinum industry as a whole," Amplats chief executive Chris Griffith said in a statement on Monday.
Headline earnings per ordinary share decreased year-on-year to a loss of R5.62 in 2012, from a profit of R13.65 in 2011.
"This was primarily due to lower sales volumes, the impact of higher mining inflation on costs and lower realised metal prices," said Griffith.
Illegal strikes last year, inflation, and market conditions in Europe affected the company. Headline earnings per ordinary share exclude a loss of R463-million resulting from the revaluation of certain investments, as well as the write-down of various other projects and assets, considered uneconomical in the current environment, to the value of R6.6-billion (after-tax R4.8-billion).
Platinum sales volumes for the period were lower, primarily due to the two-month long illegal strike during the second half of 2012.
Loss of 305 600 ounces of platinum production
Anglo American Platinum, together with its share of joint venture and associate production, lost 305 600 ounces of equivalent refined platinum production.
The company reported an 8% decrease in equivalent refined platinum production year-on-year, to 2.22-million ounces, mainly due to the illegal strikes.
In line with the decline in operating profit, operating free cash-flow decreased by R10.13-billion compared with 2011, to a net out-flow of R717-million.
Net debt increased 186% to R10.49-billion from R3.66-billion at the end of December 2011.
As a result, gearing increased from 11% in 2011 to 25% at the end of December 2012.
Owing to this increase in net debt, the future funding requirements and uncertain global economy, the board resolved not to declare a final dividend.
Seven people died in accidents at the company in the reporting period.
'Demand is expected to grow'
Griffith said: "If South African platinum production returned to pre-strike levels, then the market would be oversupplied. Overall, gross platinum demand is expected to grow marginally in 2013, despite the lack of economic growth in the European market."
Amplats announced the recommendations of its portfolio review on January 15.
The key recommendation was to reduce the company's production target to between 2.1-million and 2.3-million ounces per annum to more closely-align output with expected demand, while retaining the flexibility to meet potential demand upside.
This would be achieved through placing the Khuseleka and Khomanani mines on long-term care and maintenance, and by consolidating Rustenburg into three operating mines.
There was an outcry earlier this year when it became clear that up to 14 000 jobs could be lost.
Production at Rustenburg mines would reduce to a sustainable level of 320 000 to 350 000 ounces per year.
Consultation with the government
"While we plan to keep our production profile flat, we would replace production from high-cost assets with production from low-cost, high-quality assets over the next decade," Griffith said.
The proposed portfolio review recommendations required consultation with the government, organised labour and others, prior to implementation.
On January 28 the company, along with the mineral resources department and trade unions, decided to postpone retrenchment process under the Labour Relations Act, which had started earlier that month. This was to allow talks to take place.
The parties agreed the consultations would take no more than 60 days starting on January 30. – Sapa

Grizzly Head Coach Mick Delaney Comments on Rosenbach Departure [AUDIO]
Montana Grizzly head coach Mick Delaney says he knew of the possibility that offensive coordinator Timm Rosenbach might head to Weber State if Jody Sears were to be named the head coach.
That announcement was made Monday, and Rosenbach informed Delaney he would be accepting the offensive coordinator position with his old friend and teammate Sears in Ogden.
Delaney said that's the way it is in the coaching world, and that Rosenbach was very honest about the possibility of the move, so Delaney wasn't taken by surprise by the announcement.
Delaney says once the smoke clears on Monday, the official search will begin for a new offensive coordinator for Montana. He said he's already fielded several calls from coaches interested in the position, so there's no lack of interest.
He said the administration will be looking for a coach with a philosophy that matches the strengths of the program...namely a 'run-first, pass-second' approach.
When asked if any other coaches had expressed an interest in looking elsewhere, Delaney said coaching is just like any other profession. If a man is offered an opportunity that would be more beneficial to his family and career, he may take it. He said Montana has been very fortunate to have excellent head coaches and assistants through the years, and that tradition will continue.

Over the next week, GoDuke.com will honor the seven 2013 Duke Athletics Hall of Fame inductees with their own Hall of Fame Spotlight, a seven-question interview that covers their time at Duke, the people that most influenced their remarkable careers, their advice to current student-athletes, and more.
First up, former Men's Soccer Head Coach John Rennie. One of the most successful coaches in NCAA collegiate soccer history, Rennie led Duke to the school's first NCAA title in any sport when the Blue Devils captured the 1986 NCAA Championship. He served as the head coach at Duke for 29 seasons and finished his 36-year coaching career with a 454-207-48 record.
GoDuke.com: Who had the most influence on you during your time at Duke?
John Rennie: In terms of working at Duke and the people here, it was Tom Butters, the athletic director who hired me. He hired me and supported me when we started very slowly building a program of scholarships and facilities. He believed in soccer. He believed in what I was doing. Without his support, we wouldn't have had a stadium with lights, increased scholarship aid and recruiting budgets, and without that help, it would be impossible to do what we did. Certainly Tom Butters had the biggest influence early on and for quite a long time after.
GoDuke.com: What was your proudest sports-related moment at Duke?
JR: Winning a national championship is the obvious answer, but there are some other real highlights. The first year we were .500. I was going to start six freshman in 1980. My second year, I decided I would formally request that Mr. Butters come to our home game against Clemson, who hadn't lost a game in the ACC in nine years. They had an all international, foreign team, and they just blew everyone away. We were 6-0, they were 7-0, and we played them at home. The place was just mobbed. It was wonderful to see, and we actually won the game, 3-1. That kind of created a belief in what we were doing and gained a lot of support from the community and the soccer team. That's a wonderful memory.
GoDuke.com: What was your fondest memory of Duke outside of sports?
JR: I think the environment of the University and the city to raise a family. We have two kids that were born here and this is their home. It's been our home since 1979. All of the things that go along with the university life, whether it's the athletics or the campus life, concerts, people visiting. It's just been a great experience being at Duke.
GoDuke.com: What advice would you give to current Duke student-athletes?
JR: Study. It's a time to live up to your dreams and work hard and don't forget about your school. The advice any parent would give their child. Go to class, do the work, and then enjoy whatever else you're doing.
GoDuke.com: What is your reaction when you hear your name and "Duke Athletics Hall of Famer" in the same sentence?
JR: I don't know if it's sunk in. I haven't heard too many people call me that. It's a tremendous honor. I remember being in the audience when our first soccer player was inducted, Joe Ulrich. He was the first one to be inducted into the Duke Hall of Fame. I remember sitting there watching him go through this process and thinking how nervous he must be. It's just a tremendous honor.
GoDuke.com: What separates Duke from other schools athletically?
JR: It's the combination. The athletics here are supported well. They're in the proper place of the university universe, so to speak. I was at Columbia University for six years, before I came down here, and we had built the soccer program up. My first three years at Columbia University we won four games, in three years, not a season. My sixth year, we won the Ivy League Championship and won an NCAA game or two. It was great and we loved New York, but there just wasn't the room for growth in the program. It was really hard being a student-athlete at Columbia University in the Ivy League. It's hard for the athletes. It's hard to build a program.
GoDuke.com: Why did you choose Duke?
JR: I wanted a place where you could have both academics and athletics. Fortunately, the Duke job was open and I got it, because I couldn't think of a better place.

Northern Ireland begin with loss
Northern Ireland's World Cup qualifying campaign got off to a losing start as goals from Viktor Fayzulin and Roman Shirokov gave Fabio Capello's Russia a 2-0 win in Moscow.
The visitors set up to steal a point and for half an hour looked as though they might, only for Fayzulin to break the deadlock with a smart finish from eight yards. Russia's second came from a hotly-disputed penalty, Shirokov coolly converting after left-back Craig Cathcart had been harshly treated by the referee.
Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill made a couple of big calls in his team selection, handing 34-year-old goalkeeper Roy Carroll a first competitive start for six years. He also opted to leave Dean Shiels on the bench in favour of Jamie Ward despite man-of-the-match performances in his last two appearances.
Alexander Kerzhakov, whose pre-match assessment of Northern Ireland caused a minor stir, had the first shot of the match but could not test Carroll from the edge of the area. Russia came again and a neat first touch from Alan Dzagoev gave Kerzhakov a second chance but this time he made a poor connection.
The ball continued to follow the Zenit St Petersburg forward and in the 18th minute he had his best chance yet. Vladimir Bystrov touched the ball on to leave him eight yards from goal with the defence wrong-footed. But instead of striking early he took an extra touch and still managed to screw the shot wide.
Russia broke the deadlock after half an hour. Bystrov unlocked the defence with a carefully-weighted pass, Kerzhakov centred the ball from the edge of the penalty box and the onrushing Fayzulin sent a first-time effort into the top corner.
The second half began in flat fashion, briefly brought to life when Vasili Berezutsky headed Dmitry Kombarov's 54th-minute corner just wide. Bystrov almost enticed a penalty out of Cathcart when he surged into the box but instead opted to stay on his feet and look for Kerzhakov. Jonny Evans was alert to the danger and beat his man to the ball.
Bystrov injected some life into proceedings with a jinking run towards goal, ended when Corry Evans tripped him a yard outside the area. That gave Kerzhakov the chance to try his luck from an inviting position and he was close to doubling the lead, crashing his shot against the post.
With just under quarter of an hour left Russia were awarded the softest of penalties, Alexander Kokorin going down under minimal contact from Cathcart. Northern Ireland were furious, not least when Cathcart was booked, but that did not stop Shirokov rolling home the spot-kick.
Northern Ireland were rightly denied a penalty of their own in the closing moments when Gareth McAuley called for handball, more in hope than expectation. Andy Little and, belatedly, Shiels were summoned from the bench but the Rangers pair had no real chance to affect the game.

Many Indian celebrities are choosing A-names for their babies, according to Priya Pathiyan's article Meet the New 'A' Listers, published January 17 in The Bombay Times.
Names recently used for Indian celebrity babies include: Amartya, Agastya, Aryan, Aiyana, Aira, Arhaan, Ananyashree, Aryaman, Advaitesha and Arin.
I found it interesting that the author concluded the article with observations by a numerologist, who suggested that the letter A has a "positive vibe." Hm. (Is the numerological value of a baby name very important to most Indian parents? Anyone know?)

Call of Duty: Ghosts preview: a more intimate CoD
Hands-on impressions of a quieter, more subtle mission in Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Call of Duty has made bombastic action its stock-in-trade, as each subsequent iteration of the long-standing military shooter attempts to top itself. The figurative volume of the series is seemingly always blaring. Call of Duty: Ghosts might actually be primed to change that.
In a brief hands-on at E3 2013, I was struck by how much time and care it put into building the mood. A night time infiltration mission had my character and two compatriots zip-lining across buildings and repelling downwards. The spectacle of the city lights was certainly impressive, but the emphasis on this portion of the game was more quiet and understated than I was accustomed to in Call of Duty.
While slowly traversing down the building, we had to quietly take out a series of guards. They were unaware of our presence, so each operation was quick and relatively quiet--dispatching enemies with pinpoint accuracy and a distinct lack of fuss. Two shots, onto the next floor. No need to raise the alarms.
Once inside, we had to find a server and upload a virus, but even this was a more subdued affair. Rather than simply hit a button and move onto the action, I had to physically remove one server cabinet to even access it. Then, I watched the virus slowly load while voices signaled approaching guards. My handler told me to finish quickly or stop and hide, and as the shadows became visible around a corner I finished the upload with just moments to spare. I hid in the dark space between two server cabinets, and two guards passed by unwittingly. The third looked in my direction a heartbeat too long, and was subsequently taken out, quietly, by my teammate. It was a singularly tense moment of gameplay, without a single shot fired.
After triggering the virus to shut off the lights, the demo then skipped forward to another point. This was later in the level, when everything had apparently gone to hell. The building was collapsing, and we had to stumble with unsure footing as pieces of the environment flew around me. None of this is to say that Call of Duty has given up its over-the-top nature. But even in that short snippet, the wild action felt more earned.
It is possible that Infinity Ward and Activision chose to highlight this one quiet, hushed moment during E3. The rest of the game might be just as loud and action-packed as we've come to expect from the series. But by showcasing this moment, IW has shown an aptitude for pacing that seemed lost in the series' recent years. By remembering to put time and care into crafting the quiet moments, we appreciate it more when you turn the volume up.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In the final throes of a spirited campaign, President Barack Obama and rival Mitt Romney are awaiting one more measure of the nation's economic pulse — a monthly jobs report that will leave an imprint on the last four frenetic days of the presidential contest.
The Labor Department announces new hiring numbers and the October unemployment rate Friday morning, a fitting end to a nail-biting political match dominated by the economy.
That data fresh in hand, both candidates are plunging into a hectic pace of campaigning Friday, with Obama eager to fend off Romney in the key battleground of Ohio even as Romney pushed to expand the contest to other states, most notably Pennsylvania, to secure the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
Last month's report showed unemployment dropping to 7.8 percent, the first dip below 8 percent in Obama's presidency. However, the last incumbent president to face a jobless rate as high as 7.8 percent in October of an election year was Gerald Ford in his losing campaign against Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Whatever the number, it will give either Romney or Obama a data point with which to make a concluding case for or against the policies of the last four years. Still, the reports alone are unlikely to sway voters. Few if any remain undecided and they have shown throughout the year not to be susceptible to positive or negative monthly changes in the unemployment rate.
What's more, Friday's report will come amid other signs that the economy is on the mend. Most important, consumer confidence is up to its highest level since February of 2008, according to the Conference Board. Other signposts this week showed auto companies with sales gains in October and increases in factory orders and production.
Ohio loomed large on the campaign calendar Friday, with Obama scheduling three stops in that crucial battleground. He also had larger rallies in more urban areas planned for the weekend. Romney was set to hold two rallies in Ohio — the second a large evening kickoff for the final weekend of campaigning.
But while Ohio was emerging as the most contested state in the final push to Election Day, Romney and the Republican Party were launching a new drive into Pennsylvania, a state that had been considered safely in Obama's column. Romney planned to campaign in the state Sunday and the Republican National Committee was putting $3 million in ads into the state.
Romney aides said they detected that Obama was underperforming in the southeastern counties around Pennsylvania, a usual Democratic stronghold, and in the working class area in and around Scranton. Obama won the state handily in 2008, largely on the strength of his performance in the eastern part of the state. The RNC, however, says its voter outreach program has already exceeded its performance four years ago, with three times more phone calls and 19 more door knocks than at this time in 2008.
Obama aides dismissed the eleventh-hour move as an act of desperation that underscored Romney's weakness in other battlegrounds but said the Democratic campaign would increase its ad purchases in the state to respond to the RNC incursion.
Obama planned to take Romney on directly in Ohio on Friday over the Republican's new ads on the auto industry bailout, campaign aides said. The ads accuse Obama of taking General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy, selling Chrysler to an Italian company and building Jeeps in China. Chrysler and GM have protested the ads and disputed the suggestion that Jeep construction was being transferred overseas.
Vice President Joe Biden has reacted sharply to the ads, calling them "one of the most flagrantly dishonest ads I can ever remember in my political career." But Obama has yet to weigh in directly, in part because much of his week was dominated by managing the federal response to Superstorm Sandy.
Amid all the signs of escalation, there were also signs that Election Day was nigh.
Outside the White House, workers were erecting fencing on Pennsylvania Avenue, setting the groundwork for building the inaugural viewing stand and the camera platform in nearby Lafayette Park.
Associated Press writers Ken Thomas in Columbus and Steve Peoples and Kasie Hunt in Norfolk, Va., contributed to this report.


text: I'm working on setting up mpiJava for a cluster user. I'm compiling it against Sun's Java 1.5.0 and MPICH 1.2.5, on a cluster running CentOS 4 I can get it compiled and installed with a problem, and it almost works. The test java programs run, however MPICH seems to only initialize with a world size of 1. This is behavior very similar to if you run an mpich program without mpirun. However, I am using mpirun. I've also noticed that when a normal MPI program runs, the process tree shows mpirun, which has a child of your program. That child of mpirun then has a child that's your program running locally, and a bunch of children that are all the 'rsh' command for launching remote copies. Whenever I run a mpiJava program, the only thing in the process tree is mpirun and a single child of mpirun. Has anyone run across this, or have any ideas of what I could do to fix this problem? Thanks, Sean

- Description
- Recta was one of Aldo Novarese's earliest contributions to the massive surge of the European sans serif genre that was booming in the middle of the 20th century. Initially published just one year after Neue Haas Grotesk came out of Switzerland and Univers out of France, and at a time when Akzidenz Grotesk and DIN were riding high in Germany and Gill Sans was making waves in Great Britain, it was intended to compete with all of those foundry faces, and later came to be known as the Italian Helvetica. It maintains traditional simplicity as its high point of functionality, while showing minimal infusion of humanistic traits. It shows that the construct of the grotesk does not have to be rigid, and can indeed have a touch of Italian flair. While the original Recta family lacked a proper suite of weights and widths, this digital version comes in five weights, corresponding italics, four condensed fonts, and small caps in four weights. It also includes a wide-ranging character set for extended Latin language support.

Skip to Main Navigation. Each navigation link will open a list of sub navigation links.
Most mistakes are made because students and/or parents either don't follow or don't understand the application instructions. While few errors will cause you to have to start all over, most errors will significantly delay the processing of either your FAFSA at the federal level, your award at the college level, or both. Please read the instructions that accompany the application. Then, if you are not clear on a question, take the time to call either the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid or the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED AID (1-800-433-3243). The extra minutes it takes could save you weeks of delays!
If you do not already have a FSA ID, you must acquire one in order to electronically sign your FAFSA. If you are a dependent student, your parents should also apply for a FSA ID so they can electronically sign your FAFSA. Parents with multiple students need only apply for one FSA ID.
Be sure your Social Security number is accurate. The processing center and UW use this number to drive the application process; an error here can cause serious delays.
If you have not completed your first bachelor's degree before the start of the school year then this question should be answered with a "no." Read this carefully.
If you are a dependent student, report the marital status of the parent with whom you live. For example, if your biological parents are divorced and you live with your mother who has remarried, then her status is "married." Given this same scenario, when completing the income information, you will show both your mother's income and her husband's.
The number of people that you list as being part of your household should always include yourself and the number of people who are being supported by that household. An older brother who doesn't live at home, for example, may not be considered part of the household, if he is supporting himself.
All income information must be completed. If the question does not apply to you, please report zero. A blank indicates that you may have overlooked the question. Since we can't be sure what that number should have been, we will request additional information, which delays the process.
Worksheet C asks about portions of your total taxable income which we may exclude, or discount, in calculating your eligibility for aid. For most students, the only income that would be applicable here is the money earned from a Federal Work-Study job during the tax year. A dependent student's parent would report child support paid for children not residing with that parent. These are the two most common exclusions. Call if you have questions - this worksheet can be confusing!
If you or your parents filed the 1040 tax form, do not leave any of these questions blank. Use a zero to indicate "none" or "not applicable."
University of Wyoming's Federal School Code is 003932. For the processing center this is as important as your Social Security number. If you do not list UW's code, then UW will not receive your financial data.
Last, but certainly not least, an unsigned FAFSA is the same as an incomplete form. If your parents' information was required on the form, at least one parent must also sign the form. If you file electronically and are required to mail the signature page, don't fail to do so. The use of a FSA ID to electronically sign your FAFSA will speed up the processing of the FAFSA.
