I see this war as little more than the military-industrial complex making more and more enemies to guarantee business. There is simply no way in hell that the military can win the war when Pakistan is just harboring them, and when you'd need to change the culture and that isn't going to happen with us involved. One look at the Pashtuns and you'd realize that the place isn't worth saving.

If you'll notice in the left column there is now a picture showing who has won each of the days in the election. I'll still post my reasons and the day's winner and the totals, but this feature will replace the days list at the bottom of those posts. I realized early on with a campaign over 50 days that it'd get real crowded there toward the end, so this addresses that problem.

Oklahoma Soccer: Week 11
Oklahoma at Kansas |
Friday, Nov. 1 | 3 p.m. CT |
Lawrence, Kan. (Jayhawk Soccer Complex) |
2013 Oklahoma Soccer at a Glance
Senior Tribute
Sooner Notebook: Five Notes for Week 11
Following the result of last weekend's matches for both the Oklahoma and Kansas soccer teams, Friday's regular season finale has transformed into a play-in game for the Big 12 Championship. With KU and the Sooners occupying the No. 8 and No. 9 spots in the conference standings, respectively, this weekend's winner will clinch the eighth and final berth in the conference tournament next week in Kansas City.
Following last weekend's loss to West Virginia, OU sits in ninth in the Big 12 standings with a chance to qualify for the squad's fourth consecutive Big 12 Championship. The 2013 Big 12 Soccer Championship will take place Nov. 6, 8 and 10 in Kansas City, Mo., at Swope Soccer Village. The top eight teams in the conference advance to tournament play in hopes of claiming the conference postseason title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship.
With a win on Friday, the OU soccer team will keep their season alive and push head coach Matt Potter over the 100-win mark for his coaching career. Potter currently holds 99 career victories spanning two schools and 11 seasons. Potter accumulated 88 victories at his previous stop at Washington State before arriving in Norman prior to the 2012 season. He led the Sooners to a 7-9-4 record in his first season at Oklahoma in 2012.
Both the Sooners and the Jayhawks have counted on strong play in the goal to stay competitive throughout the tough Big 12 conference slate this fall. OU goalkeeper Kassadie Stade has logged 67 saves, three shutouts and a 1.83 goals allowed average in 16 appearances this season. She will face off with Kansas GK Kaitlyn Stroud, who owns 88 saves and five shutouts for a 1.14 goals allowed average in 18 starts.
Fans wishing to follow Friday's match will be able to catch the contest live on Metro Sports and ESPN3. ESPN3 is available at espn.go.com/watchespn, where fans can watch streams for free if they are registered with a participating cable or high speed internet provider. Friday's broadcast marks the 13th time this season Oklahoma soccer has received a live broadcast for a match.

KU and Oklahoma enter Friday's contest holding the No. 8 and No. 9 spots, respectively, in the Big 12 standings. The winner of the match will extend their season and earn a spot in the conference championship field.
The Jayhawks are 6-10-2 in 2013, including a 1-5-1 mark in Big 12 play. KU tied Iowa State 0-0 in double overtime on Oct. 4 before dispatching No. 23 Baylor 2-0 on Oct. 20.
Senior Caroline Kastor has led the way for Kansas, racking up six goals and three assists on 50 total shots this season. Liana Salazar has added three goals and a trio of assists.
Goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud has been a defensive key for the Jayhawks with 18 starts in the goal and five shutouts overall. Stroud was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 24.
Who's New?
With 15 newcomers hitting the field this season for the Sooners, fans can expect to see plenty of new faces on the pitch throughout the fall. The OU coaching staff signed 14 prospects to their signing class in February before adding one additional transfer in the spring.
In-state products joining OU this season are Shiloh Price (Broken Arrow, Okla.), Madison Saliba (Broken Arrow, Okla.) and Lisa Robinson (Oklahoma City, Okla.).
The Sooners also added four Arizona high school standouts in Jemma Cota (Mesa, Ariz.), Jamie Iurato (Mesa, Ariz.), Madison Kinzer (Oro Valley, Ariz.) and Rachel Ressler (Phoenix, Ariz.). Four athletes from the Texas soccer ranks chose OU as well: Courtney Forte (Flower Mound, Texas), Paige Jacobs (Coppell, Texas), Miranda Larkin (Rockwall, Texas) and Purdue transfer Katie Sheinfeld (Dallas, Texas).
Rounding out the OU roster will be Daisy Cardona (Ventura, Calif.), Kaitlyn Fahrner (Las Vegas, Nev.), Caren Nelson (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Elise Romano (Basking Ridge, N.J.).
Up Next
A win on Friday will qualify OU for their fourth consecutive Big 12 Championship appearance. The Big 12 Soccer Championship will be held in Kansas City, Mo., for the first time in conference history. The tournament will take place on Nov. 6, 8 and 10 at Swope Soccer Village.
The quarterfinal and semifinal rounds of the championship will be broadcast live on the Big 12 Digital Network, while the championship match on Sunday, Nov. 10 will air live on FOX Sports 1.
Fans wishing to purchase tickets for the championship event may do so through Ticketmaster and Sporting KC.

Spokane, WA - The Northwest League announced that center fielder Zach Cone of the Spokane Indians has been named Player of the Week for July 14-20. Cone rediscovered his swing, posting a .333/.387/.926 slash line in the seven games played.
Cone, who is in his second stint with Spokane, hammered four home runs to push him into a tie atop the Northwest League with seven total. He also knocked four doubles into the gap and drew two walks. His 10 RBI during the week were more than any other NWL player; he now has a total of 25 RBI on the season, which puts him third on the Indians.
The 2011 first-round pick out of the University of Georgia has garnered a hit in nine of the past 11 contests, raising his on-base percentage to .361.
The Spokane Indians have won all three league Player of the Week honors in 2014, with Cone being the third to earn the award. Jose Trevino (June 30-July 6) and Seth Spivey (July 7-13) have also received the award.
Ben Eckels of the Hillsboro Hops earned NWL Pitcher of the Week honors.
The Spokane Indians can clinch the first spot in the North Division of the Northwest League Playoffs with a victory tonight over the Everett AquaSox. The victory would seal the Indians as the North Division's first-half champions.
First pitch is set for 6:30 PM and tickets are still available by calling the Spokane Indians Ticket Office at (509) 343-OTTO (6886).
Tonight's game is Hit & Win Night presented by Longhorn BBQ and 103.1 KCDA. All fans will receive a Spokane Indians Baseball card as they enter the stadium.

Technology helps SMEs to keep up the cash flow
In the final part of Mark Robinson's advice series supporting Small Business Advice Week 2015, Canon's SME expert looks at how small businesses can take measures to control the costs of running a business and tackle late payments from suppliers and customers.
Last month, a report surfaced showing that the majority of the UK's small and medium-sized enterprises are waiting more than 30 days for payments from suppliers. The country's five million smaller firms are currently owed an estimated £26.8 billion in overdue payments, and as a result are losing out on business or are faced with the choice of accepting crippling payment terms.
Experts are correctly calling upon the government to tackle this issue, which is increasing at an alarming rate. However, there are also some measures closer to home which small business owners can apply themselves to ensure a constant cash flow, paving the way for business growth.
The ever-growing administrative burden
Take the ever-growing paperwork pile, which will be an all-too-familiar image for many small business owners. A large number of new bills, invoices and requests come into firms every day, often taking up valuable time and resources.
Findings from Canon research suggest 28% of SMBs and small office/home offices (SoHos) in Europe spend too much time on general administration and paperwork. In the UK this figure was even higher at almost a third (30%). As a result, many firms in the UK say they do not spend enough time cultivating and generating new business.
With so much time consumed by paperwork, it's easy to see how the ongoing administration and bureaucracy can quickly become an insurmountable barrier to keep up the cash flow.
Putting principles into practice
But what would happen, if SME and SoHo owners spent less time on bureaucracy and more time on building the business? More importantly, how would they find the time? With 41 per cent of UK SME and SoHo owners agreeing that bureaucracy is a challenge for their business, it is going to be difficult for small firm owners to move their focus from operations to business development.
Delegating tasks and responsibility to trusted team members is all very well if you have the resources, but what about if your workers are already stretched to capacity, or if your business is a one-person operation?
Reducing the admin burden with technology
Thankfully, technology can provide the answer. By using a digital approach to managing information – which can include a digital cash flow dashboard, digitising paper documents, and allying cloud with mobile connectivity – SME employees can receive and update finance information on the go, such as sales contracts and invoicing records. Rather than dealing with the paper mountain on their return to the office, small business owners can deal with admin from any location. This saves time and means they can process invoices quicker and get them out faster, chasing on overdue payment as early as the contracted payment terms allow.
Being fully digital also means business owners know exactly when and how much money is coming in, what is coming out and how much is left for investments, meaning they can schedule payments for suppliers on time and overall have a better overview of how the business is performing.
Small firms face a huge cost control challenge, but they can start overcoming the barriers without having to wait for the government to take measures. By adopting new technologies and embracing the digital transformation, small business owners can drastically reduce the amount of time spent on lengthy admin tasks and use their time more productively by focussing on activities that add to the bottom line.
For more SME advice, take a look at part one (save money with an energy-efficient office), part two (the power of social media) or part three (the skills you need to start a business) of this series, or follow @CanonBusinessUK on Twitter.

The second race on the 2012 NHRA was my favorite stop on the circuit. Not because its a cool track or its a big race but because I get to sleep on my own bed every night. Lets get right to the action of a gorgeous weekend in the Arizona desert.
.It is finally time to bring my "Best of 2011" series to an end with everyones favorite category (except those who appear in these pics) with my Best of Crash and Burn. Not many years ago many of the crashes you see in this post would have resulted in injuries for the drivers but thanks to todays safety technology every driver seen in this blog would walk away. The same can't be said for their race cars!
.With the NHRA down to its final two races, the stop at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway would be a pivotal race for those with 2011 championship aspirations. With the largest nitro fields of the year it was sure to be a can't miss race!
.Baseball has the World Series, Football has the Super Bowl, when it comes to NHRA, the biggest race on the calendar is the prestigious US Nationals near Indianapolis. I am weeks behind on posting this blog due to an out of control work schedule so lets jump right in.
.With doing the NHRA tour this year I have had the opportunity to visit several tracks for the first time. Brainerd, Minnesota would be the final track on the season that I had never been to so I was looking forward to checking the track out as well as making my first visit to the infamous "Zoo" at the tracks campground. It would end up being quite the fun and interesting weekend.
.For the third weekend in a row I would find myself at yet another drag race, this time up in the Pacific Northwest as we wrapped up the "Western Swing" which took us to Denver, Sonoma and finally Seattle. I last shot at this track back in 2005, my last year in the Navy when I was stationed in the Seattle area. I have done pretty well at this track with getting some cool photos and this year would be no different.

Quick Review: Three Recent Mascara Releases
I'll cut right to the chase: one of these mascaras is good. No7 Lash Adapt has been my mascara of choice since I picked it up with a handy £5 off Boots voucher towards the end of last year.
The medium-sized bristle brush allows you to coat all of your lashes, creating lots of volume while keeping a soft, fluttery look. The 'lash adapt' element means you can add as many layers as you like for a lighter or heavier effect. It's quite simply a fab mascara and one I can see myself sticking with until something else throws itself at my eyes.
Soap & Glory Thick & Fast came free with a magazine and my Lash Adapt had dried up so I put it into makeup bag circulation. The wand is massive and I find it nearly impossible not to blob mascara around my eyes as I apply. The bristles are in a spiral shape with gaps between each layer; not conducive to catching all of your lashes or creating a soft, voluminous look. The formula applies unevenly. Do. Not. Want.
L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic was given to me and, still without a new Lash Adapt and with the above failing to impress, I faithfully gave it a go. The rubber wand is long and skinny and allows for precise application. I already have long lashes so am not the target customer for this mascara, however I don't see the point in having twelve spindly, stabby lashes when you could have a normal amount of shorter, thicker lashes that actually make your eyes look pretty. When I apply this my lashes stick together in spears and I have to use the end of the wand to try and prise them apart. They're also crispy. The only thing 'false lash' is how unnatural it looks to have twelve spider legs stuck to your eye. One plus point: the skinny wand is good for bottom lashes.
My recommendation if you're looking for a reasonably priced, reliable mascara is Boots No7 Lash Adapt, £12.95. If you have any suggestions for me please leave them in the comments!

Wintery Weekend in Cornwall
A few weeks ago we headed down to Cornwall for J's brother's 30th birthday. It was absolutely freezing but the cloud-dotted skies made for some pretty hipstamatic pictures. On our last day we drove from Falmouth to Porthleven to meet up with my nan, aunty and aunty's fiance who live nearby. Porthleven is a pretty harbour town with some great pubs and a very precarious breakwater you can walk out onto if you like risking getting at best soaked, at worst swept out to sea! Obviously I was stood right on the end twatting around posing for photos. I love Porthleven – it reminds me of my childhood and family.
We stayed at a superb B&B in Falmouth called 'Sixteen'. It was absolutely immaculate with lovely sheets and towels, a living room with open fire for us to lounge in (I wish we'd had time) and a wonderful host called Sharon who baked homemade cakes every day and left them out for us to enjoy whatever hour we returned! She also made delicious breakfasts. The B&B is well-situated, fairly priced, has its own parking and I highly recommend you stay there if planning a trip to Falmouth!
Review: Stella by Stella McCartney Perfume
I feel like this perfume came to me by osmosis. Years of occasionally smelling it on other people allowed it to filter into my brain via my nose and take root there as a scent I began to love. A couple of friends either wear or have worn Stella but somehow it hasn't become too 'them' to be 'me' as well. Perhaps because I don't see either of them frequently. Its smell is distinct and original in a perfume market full of bland clones.
The top notes are rose essence, peony flower and mandarin essence. Rose absolute is the heart note and the base notes are 'woody notes' and amber. If you dislike rose scents and therefore have avoided this perfume, I suggest giving it a try. I find some rose-based products too 'granny floral' but I absolutely adore Stella. It's intoxicating!
The concept behind the fragrance is the contrast between the freshness and softness of rose, and the dark sensuality of amber. On application it's quite strong but you don't keep smelling it on yourself all day. I think other people may catch a whiff though as I remember from past experience of smelling it on my friends. I rarely like perfumes that are so pervasive you cannot forget about them for a moment.
The bottle is pretty, like a faceted amethyst gem. The limited edition floral print bottles in three different designs are also beautiful if you can still find them. While it may have taken a few years for this gorgeous perfume to find its way to me, I think it's definitely here to stay.
Stella by Stella McCartney is available from Escentual.com, from £38.

Drive 40 Miles On Battery"Matt Hardigree2/23/07 8:49amFiled to: NewsAlternative EnergyRAV4EVRanger EVWonketteElectric CarsEvFordPresident BushRangerToyata11EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkTalking about energy policy yesterday in the middle of a cornfield, because why the hell not, President Bush said something that caught our attention:Advertisement"Someday you're going to be able to get in your car, particularly if you're a big-city person, and drive 40 miles on a battery. And by the way, the car doesn't have to look like a golf cart. It could be a pickup truck." What's striking about this is, ignoring the golf cart variety vehicles and long-crushed GM models, there's the Toyota RAV4-EV and Ford Ranger EV, which had ranges of 116 and 65 miles, respectively, and are still on the road. Sure, he's probably referring to the unreleased Saturn Vue Plug-In Hybrid, but we feel it our responsibility to point out the rare occasions when this administration says something misleading.

Making Gingerbread
We had a little photo shoot and once they started it was hard to stop them leaping into different containers and posing and beaming for the camera.
I love making toys, it's something I plan to explore a lot more in the coming months.
These are the simplest kind, made from two identical pieces of linen, a back and a front, sewn all the way round and stuffed with polyester filling, then their little smiling faces are embroidered on with black thread, and their cheeks are painted to look pink and chubby. Choosing buttons - I love that bit - and finally a bow tie - this time I used bright selvedge scraps for a rustic look - it doesn't matter if they fray a bit, it's all part of their style.
I'd like to wish a warm welcome to all the sweet readers who visit my blog, both the brand new and the more regular ones. THanK YoU all so much, I really appreciate your visits and LoVe hearing from you! I hope you all have a wonderful week, full of things you enjoy. x

After four months of an especially brutal West Michigan winter, it�s time to whistle a different tune.
Thousands will be doing just that � and daydreaming about summer � during the Cottage & Lakefront Living Show at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids this weekend, with outdoor and landscape exhibits, cottage living seminars, a fishing simulator and other seasonal attractions.
The three-day show includes seminars on beach art, waterfront real estate, wooden canoes and picnic table building, with a cottage fine art show (from photography to oil paintings), a Lakefront Marketplace (from gourmet dips to lakehouse d�cor), a giant sand castle build (with sand-sculpting lessons on Sunday), a "water and woods" photo contest and a boat-building demonstration.
Putting folks in a summery mood requires a soundtrack of beach-friendly songs. So for the second year in a row, LocalSpins.com has compiled a Top 10 list of the best summer songs for cottage and lakefront relaxation, a playlist to get the sun-splashed party started.
Last�s year list covered the entire rock era. For 2014, it�s the best tunes of the past decade � including some with a Michigan hue � for kicking back and enjoying the state�s water wonderland.
1. "Helluva Life," Frankie Ballard � It just went to No. 1 on the Billboard and Mediabase country charts, so this tune from West Michigan�s own fast-rising country artist Frankie Ballard deserves to top this list, too. The singer with roots in Kalamazoo and Battle Creek may have created the summer country anthem of 2014 by talking about "a barefoot country girl" and a "big star shining on a small town world." And he himself is turning into a bona fide big star: His Facebook page has more than 51,000 "likes."
2. "Get Lucky," Daft � These surprise Grammy Award winners� monster dance hit of summer 2013 celebrates being "up all night �til the sun" and raising the bar "and our cups to the stars." That�s a vacation anthem to embrace.
3. "Drink a Beer," Luke Bryan � Granted, there�s a sad tale here from this country star, but the bottom line is the notion that there�s almost nothing better or more healing than this summertime activity: "I�m gonna set right here on the edge of this pier, watch the sunset disappear and drink a beer."
4. "The Sound of Sunshine," Michael Franti & Spearhead � Few artists exude a more uplifting, upbeat vibe than Michael Franti. This tune sweeps away the storms to reveal the summer sun which every cottage dweller relishes: "I want to go where the sun will never end, with my guitar on the beach there with all my friends, the sun so hot and the waves in motion and everything smell like suntan lotion."
5. "Summer Paradise," Simple Plan (featuring Sean Paul) � It�s sugary pop, but there�s also a reggae vibe, talk of melting, crashing waves, playing in the sand and, yes, embracing that summer paradise. And like Franti�s tune, above, it sparked a great summer-splashed video.
6. "Moonshine," Bruno Mars � These days, it�s tough to leave the red-hot soul of Bruno Mars off of any playlist. "Moonshine" is the perfect romantic fodder for cuddling up along the lakeshore on a moonlit evening: "Let�s take a ride to the sky before the night is gone; Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight."
7. "All Summer Long," Kid Rock � This is the only song that also made last year�s list. The Michigan connection by a staunchly Michigan artist simply can�t be ignored, especially by lakefront residents "catching walleye from the dock, watching the waves roll off the rocks."
8. "King of the Beach," Wavves � These California surf-punkers even have the right name for a summertime band. And "King of the Beach" has a summer-will-go-on-forever rock snarl: "Let the sun burn my eyes, let it burn my back, at the beach, in my dreams."
9. "Girls in Their Summer Clothes," Bruce Springsteen � This track from Springsteen�s 2008 album, "Magic," has that classic, retro, summer-breeze feel that�ll get you humming along while "in the cool of the evening light, the girls in their summer clothes pass me by."
10. "Counting Stars," OneRepublic � OneRepublic�s infectious No. 1 hit already has everyone hankering for summer after the most brutal winter in years. The promise is that we�ll soon be "counting stars � I feel the love and I feel it burn, down this river, every turn."
Honorable mention: "California Gurls" (Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg), "This Summer (Superchunk),
"Endless Sunset" (Delorean), "Everlasting Light" (The Black Keys)
2013�s Top 10 Songs for Cottage & Lakefront Living
1. "Here Comes The Sun," The Beatles
2. "All Summer Long," Kid Rock
3. "Margaritaville," Jimmy Buffett
4. "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems," Kenny Chesney
5. "Shanty (The Friday Song)," Jonathan Edwards
6. "Soak Up the Sun," Sheryl Crow
7. "Gold on the Ceiling," The Black Keys
8. "Sittin� on the Dock of the Bay," Otis Redding
9. "The Way," Fastball
10. "Sailing," Christopher Cross

The Milwaukee™ 7-Piece Big Hawg® Hole Cutter Kit drills up to 10X faster than hole saws and up to 600 holes without resharpening. Big Hawg hole cutters are specifically designed for drilling large holes in rough wood applications with the speed, longevity and large size range that HVAC, plumbing and other contractors need. Big Hawgs provide durable, cost-effective and time-saving solutions for repetitive hole cutting. Three hardened steel teeth provide a more solid surface for nail and knot impacts, extending the life of the teeth. Inset teeth lessen the outer diameter of the plug, increasing the chance the plug will fall out automatically for less cleanup and greater productivity. The recessed flat boring pilot bit (included) minimises contact with the plug, creating less friction.
- Up to 600 holes without resharpening: Makes the Big Hawg® an affordable and time-saving alternative
- Hardened steel teeth: Offer maximum durability against unintended nail impacts
- Aggressive tooth geometry: Unique cutting angle permits up to 10X faster cutting than hole saws
- Wide and deep gullets: Enable easy plug removal
- 7-Piece kit: Includes 3 hole cutters (54mm, 65mm, 92mm), 1 x arbor with pilot bit, 2 x additional pilot bits, 1 x diamond file for sharpening, 1 x hex wrench and 1 x impact-resistant case.
7PC Kit Contains:
- (1) 54mm Big Hawg Hole Cutter
- (1) 65mm Big Hawg Hole Cutter
- (1) 92mm Big Hawg Hole Cutter
- (1) Arbor with pilot bit
- (2) Pilot drills
- (1) Diamond File

G'day *MERNA*!No wonder this has received an EP, a Finalist and a 2nd Place award, it is such a lovely photograph.
I really like how the church itself stands out so well due to its high contrst whites and the great exposure you made of that.
Another thing that caught my eye was how the arches of the bell niches are echoed by the archway on the path.
The eye is led along that path up into the scene and along the way is regaled by the 'walking stick' shapes of pruned grape vines which make a strong contrast in shape to the smoother lines of the church.
The sky makes a good background and foil for the purity of the church and I can almost hear the bells ringing as they must have done for many years of Sundays.

Hi Michael: Thank you for the blast from the past, that was my very first award other than a Finalist and I am still thrilled. Merna #10064123Taken with Tamron SP AF200-500mm. I had attended a wedding at this church about 15 years ago. Traveling this highway most of my life and never noticing this church sitting between two hills on highway 46 in Ca. just outside Paso Robles. I had taken many pictures of this church over the years but none to my satisfaction. This year (2009) Ash Wednesday, the gates were open. While my friends sat in the car I climbed this hill and finally captured this circa 1800 church. It was very satisfying that my persistence paid off. Merna Nobile

Washington (CNN) – The oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico is spilling onto the television airwaves in the form of political commercials as candidates and interest groups seek to use this economic and environmental disaster to advance their campaigns and causes.
So far, more than $4.3 million has been spent on political TV ads that reference the oil spill caused by the explosion in April of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig operated on behalf of BP.
The commercials appear in state and congressional races as well as in states where organizations are seeking to pressure U.S. senators to support comprehensive energy reform legislation, according to a new analysis conducted for CNN by Kantar's Campaign Media Analysis Group.
(CNN) - The U.S. Coast Guard and Environmental Protection Agency have issued a directive to BP on how the company should manage recovered oil, contaminated materials and waste recovered in cleanup operations from the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Among other requirements, the directive requires the oil giant to give the EPA and state agencies access to any waste storage site and to provide specific plans, waste reports and tracking systems for liquid and solid waste.
"While the states of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida are overseeing BP's waste management activities and conducting inspections, this action today is meant to compliment their activities by providing further oversight and imposing more specific requirements," the Coast Guard said on Thursday. "Under the directive, EPA, in addition to sampling already being done by BP, will begin sampling the waste to help verify that the waste is being properly managed."
Waste sampling to date has been done in compliance with EPA and state regulatory requirements, the Coast Guard said.
(CNN) - A document released by the U.S. Coast Guard this week shows a lack of cooperation from BP in providing accurate flow-rate estimates of the oil company's massive underwater gusher in the Gulf of Mexico.
The document is a sole-source contract seeking to secure the services of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, described by the Coast Guard as "well known" in the oil spill field and a company that "routinely operates at depths required" at the BP site.
Woods Hole submitted proposed technology to BP in May designed to provide an accurate flow-rate estimate from the ruptured undersea well after the oil company provided its own numbers inconsistent with those of scientific experts, the document shows.
The institution's technological capabilities at the site include sonar, optical, Doppler and mass spectrometer varieties of sensors, according to the Coast Guard.
Full story
(CNN) - Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal had harsh words for government authorities on Wednesday after sand-dredging operations to protect the state's coastline from the BP oil disaster were halted due to environmental concerns.
"This is a war," Jindal said of the fight to protect shorelines from the approaching oil. "Every hour, every day matters. Maybe they don't see the oil from Washington (but) we see it every day on our coast."
Jindal called on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Army Corps of Engineers to let workers resume dredging off the Chandeleur Islands. The dredging would be followed by construction of berms in hopes the offshore berms would block oil before it hit the beach.
The issue stems from the original proposal Louisiana submitted for the project, which raised concerns among scientists and wildlife officials about its proximity to the state's sensitive barrier islands, said Tom Strickland, the assistant Interior Secretary for Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
(CNN) - U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron will meet Saturday and discuss BP and the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, Cameron's office said Wednesday.
The meeting will happen on the sidelines of the G-20 summit taking place this weekend in Toronto, Canada.
Cameron told the House of Commons on Wednesday he had discussed BP in phone calls with Obama. He stressed the company is prepared to meet its obligations to fund the cleanup and compensate those whose businesses have been affected by the spill.
New Orleans, Louisiana (CNN) - Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Tuesday called a six-month halt on deepwater drilling "needed, appropriate and within our authorities" in announcing he will issue a new order on a moratorium just hours after a federal judge blocked such a mandate.
"We see clear evidence every day, as oil spills from BP's well, of the need for a pause on deepwater drilling," Salazar said in a statement. "That evidence mounts as BP continues to be unable to stop its blowout, notwithstanding the huge efforts and help from the federal scientific team and most major oil companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico."
Salazar's statement did not give an exact date for when the new order would be imposed, saying only "in the coming days."

(CNN) - A federal judge in New Orleans, Louisiana, has blocked a six-month federal moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf.
Several dozen plaintiffs had sued President Barack Obama's administration, arguing the ban would create long-term economic harm to their businesses. Obama ordered the moratorium after the April 20 explosion of an oil rig off Louisiana that killed 11 people and triggered an underwater oil gusher.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says the government will immediately appeal the ruling to the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
Washington (CNN) - A respected conservative senator, who is often critical of the Obama administration, declined Monday to criticize the administration's pressuring BP to establish a $20 billion escrow fund to help victims of the oil spill.
At the same time, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, declined to criticize Rush Limbaugh for his insistence that the administration's pressure on BP amounted to a "shakedown."
Coburn spoke to CNN Chief National Correspondent John King during an interview that aired on John King, USA.
Coburn was asked about Limbaugh's repeating that the $20 billion fund was a "shakedown." The conservative talk-radio host took aim at Republican leaders for rushing to demand that Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, retract his controversial apology to BP CEO Tony Hayward during last week's congressional hearing.

This book covers two timely and interconnected concepts in psychology pedagogy: psychological literacy and the psychologically literate citizen. Psychological literacy encapsulates the common graduate attributes or capabilities that students should acquire while undertaking a major in psychology, as exemplified by guidelines and lists of student learning outcomes delineated by many national psychology organizations. Although psychology educators internationally have been working toward assisting students to acquire these attributes for at least the past fifty years, only recently have educator ... More

Combining the formative with the summative: the development of a twostage online test to encourage engagement and provide personal feedback in large classes
The aim of this action research project was to improve student learning by encouraging more "time on task" and to improve self-assessment and feedback through the introduction of weekly online tests in a Year 2 lecture module in biological sciences. Initially voluntary online tests were offered to students and those who participated achieved higher exam marks than those who did not, but completion rate was low. Making the tests compulsory led to high completion rates, but class performance decreased, indicating that using the same assessment for formative and for summative purposes is not always beneficial for learning. Finally, these problems were resolved by introducing a two-stage approach: the first stage of each test was formative and provided prompt feedback. However, students had to achieve 80% to progress to the second summative stage of the test. The two-stage online tests led to significantly improved class performance. This novel test design ensures that students go through at least two attempts and therefore fully benefit from the learning opportunities presented by the formative stage. Two-stage online tests present the opportunity to provide regular feedback in large classes and to improve performance not only of good but also of "weak" students.

DIY: Plant Markers
I've been so excited about my mini kitchen window herb garden lately! When I planted my herbs, I searched around online for some cute plant marker ideas and found these from Martha Stewart. Not only are they cute, they're so simple to make!
What you'll need:
Cut your twigs to the desired size. Shave a little of the bark off with your x-acto knife to create a flat surface.
Write the plant names with a pen or thin sharpie and you're all set!
Note: I found those little buckets in the dollar section of Target and drilled holes in the bottom for drainage. They work perfectly and look pretty cute on the windowsill too!

What an awesome idea! I've been using paddle pop sticks that I painted and then wrote on with calligraphy pen but they don't fare so well outside - definitely will be replacing them with these!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I just found your blog yesterday and I am completely obsessed! I spent at least 3 hours browsing through your blog back to its beginning and I can't get over how many great ideas you share with your bloggers. I will be a loyal follower! Thanks for all the great ideas!
-Amy, From the House of Simba and NalaWhat a fabulous natural idea! Found you via the Proper Pinwheel (yay Lexy). Good stuff! XO, MJ

Flowers and French Curves
I thought I'd share a recent painting... Simple flowers with stencil drawing behind them. I love using the French Curve stencil, it's so fluid and graceful. At the same time, I love the rigidity and limitation of using only the edges of the stencil to create the shapes. The flowers are watercolor with metallic ink centers; the stencil forms are Prismacolor, and the "grid" in the back is black ink pen. I found some India Ink pens that I LOVE. Enjoy!!

Stamping good fun
I was inspired by Geninne over at Geninne's Art Blog to make some rubber stamps. I used to make these years ago- they're really simple. Just use a Mars plastic eraser and a sharp knife, and watch out for your fingers!
I can't wait to decorate the packages I send out into the world!!!

NATIONWIDE TAKE ON THE MERCURY: The Mercury Music Prize is a bit of an oddity, in that it's done a really good job of promoting its original sponsor - which is a bit of a problem, since the company who established the prize long ago ceased trading under the Mercury banner.
Hairy older readers will recall Mercury, Cable & Wireless' single-minded but doomed attempt to challenge British Telecom; there's still a couple of the old Mecury boxes lingering in forgotten corners of the country, and some shops still have the Harry Enfield splattered promotional material displayed under layers of abandoned Point of Sale material. There was a time when you couldn't move for Enfield's Cholmdley-Warner character extolling the virtues of Mercury from the side of buses, edges of newspapers and televisions - "I felt like Enver Hoxa" said Enfield, in what might have been his last amusing moment.
The Mercury dream stalled, however, and the brand got chucked away, which left the high-profile music prize without a sponsor. Into the breach stepped Technics, the record player people, who've been underwriting the price of fish suppers for a couple of hundred music writers and pop stars from the posher end of the market for a few years. But now they've stopped doing it, so the Nationwide Building Society - the people who already bring you the less important football matches - is stepping up to take on the sponsorship. Of course, the value of trying to associate your brand with a prize that's known entirely by the name of a defunct sponsorship is highly questionable, so it could be possible that this is actually an entirely altruistic deal. Like they really exist in business.
Interesting piece of trivia: Nationwide Building Society was formed by a merger of several smaller societies, and was named in a competition by viewers of 70s BBC news-light show Nationwide (do you see how inspired they were?). Nationwide, of course, used to be one of the promoters of the British Rock and Pop Awards, along with Radio 1 and the Daily Mirror, which went on to become the Brits. There's something pleasingly circular about this.

Pedant's corner: of course, it was Jon Glover who played Mr Cholmondeley-Warner. Enfield was Mr Grayson. Although, on re-reading, at no point do you say Enfield played Mr CW, merely that he was one of his characters. Er, as you were.

Bleach does not harm the environment
Bleach does not form dioxins

Clorox® bleach does not damage equipment and surfaces
Bleach does not harm the environment
Household bleach begins and ends as salt water in a fully sustainable cycle. There's a
significant difference between "bleaching"-- the name often associated with the
manufacturing of paper products -- and household bleach.
During consumer use and disposal, about 95 percent to 98 percent of household bleach quickly breaks down. The remaining two percent to five percent is effectively treated by sewer or septic systems.
Bleach does not contaminate ground water because it does not survive sewage treatment
- either in municipal sewage treatment plants or in septic systems. Thus, there are no harmful effects of bleach in the environment.

Bleach does not form dioxins
When used for cleaning and disinfecting, bleach cannot form dioxins. This is supported by
several independent studies, including those by European environmental agencies. To form
a dioxin, you need the type of organic building blocks that are typically found in the
pulp bleaching process, which are not found in a household setting.
Back to top
There is no free chlorine in household bleach
It's wrong to call household bleach chlorine
bleach because it has an entirely different chemistry. Household bleach is
derived from sodium chloride - common table salt. Clorox purchases
chlorine and makes household bleach by bubbling the chlorine into a solution of water and
sodium hydroxide. During this process, all of the chlorine is converted to a sodium
hypochlorite solution.

Is there mercury in bleach?
According to Jim McCabe, who is responsible for the environmental safety and regulatory compliance of all Clorox products, in the most recent round of testing in 2001 that included all seven of its U.S. facilities, Clorox found that the amount of mercury in its final bleach product was less than 0.2 parts per billion.
McCabe: When we did our last major round of testing in 2001 that included all seven of our U.S. facilities, we found no detectable level of mercury in our final bleach product (the detection limit is less than 0.2 parts per billion). To put that into perspective, federal rules allow drinking water to contain 2 parts per billion of mercury, or at least ten times more than the detection limit. Moreover, federal rules consider mercury hazardous waste at 200 parts per billion. In other words, by not finding any mercury at its detection limit, our bleach is at least a thousand times under the level of being considered a hazardous waste due to mercury.)

Laundering with bleach does not harm aquatic life
Everyday consumer and commercial use of bleach as directed in laundering clothes or in
disinfecting surfaces around the home or public places such as schools and hospitals does not produce harmful effects on the environment.
Bleach degrades primarily into salt and water and the
remaining 2 percent to 5 percent is effectively treated by municipal waste water
treatment plants or septic systems. No bleach gets to the environment.
Back to top
Clorox® bleach does not damage equipment and surfaces
The majority of Clorox® bleach products contain anticorrosion agents and, when
used as directed, are safe for use on a variety of hard, nonporous surfaces, including
stainless steel, plastics, glazed ceramics, glass, porcelain and other materials. Use
bleach with confidence to clean and disinfect countertops, floors, toilets, sinks, trash
cans, keyboards, phones, light switches and desks.

Clorox Donates 55 Truckloads of Bleach and Cleaning Products to Aid in Hurricane Sandy Recovery
The Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX) has donated more than 55 truckloads of Clorox® Regular-Bleach1, concentrated and cleaning products, with an approximate value of more than $700,000, to the Red Cross and Feeding America to aid in recovery efforts following Hurricane Sandy.
Bleach has a long history of use in killing germs, particularly in times following a disaster. The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the use of bleach for helping control the spread of pathogens that can cause infections and other health threats.

Sci-fi metropolis wins award
Science fiction writer China Miéville has won this year's Arthur C Clarke Award for science fiction writing for his novel Perdido Street Station.
The novel, Miéville's second, explores a world where humans share the sprawling metropolis New Crobuzon with mutants and other races. Miéville, from London, receives Ł2,001 ($2,858) to mark the year 2001, in recognition of the Arthur C Clarke classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. The award, which goes annually to the best sci-fi novel published in Britain in the previous year, was announced at a ceremony held at the Science Museum in London.
"I spent so many hours of my youth there...this undoubtedly had a great influence upon me." Miéville has a first class degree from Cambridge and a masters with distinction from the London School of Economics. After studying at Harvard, he is now doing a PhD in international relations. The shortlist also featured Octavia E Butler with Parable of the Talent; Mary Gentle for Ash: A Secret History; Ken Macleod for Cosmonaut Keep; Alastair Reynolds with Revelation Space and Adam Roberts for Salt.
Sir Arthur, 82, is regarded as a space-age visionary, who predicted space travel in 1945, long before rockets were tested. He is one of the most famous sci-fi writers with more than 80 books to his name. Quality The award was established by Sir Arthur himself in 1986 to encourage quality science fiction writing. It is now jointly administered by The British Science Fiction Association and the Science Fiction Foundation. The first grant awarded was for Ł1,000 ($1,428) - to this year's Booker Prize winner Margaret Atwood. Sir Arthur has made Sri Lanka his home and has lived on the island since 1956. He was knighted in 2000 in a quiet ceremony at his home as post polio syndrome prevented him from travelling to London. |

Russell Stover Low Carb Candy BarsRussell Stover is a well known name in candy and chocolate bars. Their low carb / net carb bars use aspartame, maltitol and Splenda to sweeten their flavors. We've tried many of the Russell Stover treats in the past. In general we've been quite pleased with them! This current 3-pack we got contained chocolate wafer, chocolate mousse and peanut butter medallion candies. Chocolate Wafer - 1.6g/2 pieces I thought I would love the chocolate wafer ones the best, but to be honest I thought they tasted stale. They were "chewy" in sort of a soggy way. These aren't sized like a Kit Kat - they're maybe half dollar sized squares, maybe 1/2" thick. I've tried these several times since normally I love Kit Kats, and they just get worse in every tasting. Chocolate Mousse - 0.5g/2 pieces I enjoyed this more, and this is the favorite of my boyfriend. It is again a half-dollar sized candy, in a circle shape. It has a dark chocolate coating and a soft milk-chocolate mousse inside. Peanut Butter Medallion - 1.4g/2 pieces These are also half dollar sized circles. They are chocolate over a thickish peanut butter paste inside, sort of the consistency of regular peanut butter. This one is OK. I'm normally a big fan of peanut butter but the inside here isn't of course pure peanut butter. It's a bit too fluffy and artificial for me to really enjoy. Separate from the three-pack, we also tried another Russell Stover sugar-free option which came separately. Chocolate Candy 0g/2 pieces These generically named treats are little squares of chocolate. We found them enjoyable enough for snacking on. I say that they are 0g but the package doesn't list a net carb count. I had to assume with 22g carbs, minus 20g sugar alcohol, minus 2g fiber, that leaves nothing left. Still, there might be some TINY amount of net carbs, so don't eat the entire bag :) In general, you do not want to eat these things all at once. You want to take out a portion, bring them out with a glass of port or something else special, and savor them. The more you make each one a special treat that you pay attention to, the better!

I just finished watching Control Room, a documentary about al-Jazeera and the Iraq War. It reminded me of another story worth sharing:
After the invasion of Iraq had begun, the US 5th Corps and 3rd Corps were driving towards Baghdad in armored spearheads, while the British forces were spreading out and resolving "areas of difficulty" in the South. There was concern that resistance would stiffen as our forces neared Baghdad and the more loyal Iraqi forces began to make concerted stands against the US advance. This led to the fear that the US advance would bog down and lead to a more asymetrical war--definitely not what the US wanted. Of course, we now know that Saddam intentionally siphoned off his core forces to take up future 5th column activities--the current insurgency--but at the time there was significant concern that if Saddam's more crack troops could fall back to urban areas they could mount a serious urban resistance. A plan had to be devised that would take Baghdad early--isolating these forces in the more open areas south of Baghdad where they could be destroyed.
Enter Operation SCORPION. I was involved in planning the electronic warfare portion (specifically communication jammin) as I was the Chief of Intelligence for the 41st Electronic Warfare Squadron at the time, based out of "Camp Snoopy" in Doha, Qatar. However, as Camp Snoopy was also the headquarters of an expeditionary wing of C-130 transport aircraft, it was ground zero for planning, as this was going to be one of the largest airborne insertions since Arnhem. More on that last part in a bit...
To sum up Operation SCORPION: Delta Force with their Little Bird helicopters establish a expedient perimeter around Baghdad International Airport, immediately followed by several dozen C-130 and C-17 aircraft flying in a few thousand infantrymen into a field that barely, hopefully, controlled. Use this island to precipitate the early fall of Baghdad, etc.
The problem: well, other than the extreme risks of landing a plane like a C-130 on an essentially hot airfield in a city that has hundreds of people with SA-14s who want to shoot you down, there was a serious logistical issue with tarmac operations. Once the planes landed and proceeded to the unloading zone on the parking apron, they would create a long single-file line of aircraft. If one broke down, or was damaged by enemy fire, there would be no way for the planes behind it to get around it or turn around. And the whole operation was dependent on throughput--get the planes in and out fast enough to get enough forces into the airfield to be viable in the face of a counterattack. The whole thing was beginning to remind me of the problems that 30 Corps faced in the drive to Arnhem--literally the "Bridge Too Far".
For those of you not familiar with the movie "A Bridge Too Far", in an attempt to sieze a critical bridge over the Rhine in World War II, Field Marshal Montgomery directed a daring airborne operation siezing three towns by air--the last being Arnhem with the actual bridge over the Rhine--and then connecting the dots and providing necessary holding strength by driving 30 Corps (Armored Corps) down narrow one-lane roads all the way there. Germans shot the tank in front, the whole armored column had to stop, ended in disaster and retreat, etc.
We didn't know if Operation SCORPION would actuall go ahead, as it depended on the bogging down of V Corps and III Corps south of Baghdad. But, in the interim, I decided it was time for a little guerrilla warfare of my own--after all, this kind of thing was far too important for a lowly Lieutenant with a history degree to have anything meaningful to add. So... I borrowed a friend's copy of "A Bridge Too Far", marched down to the mission planing tent, and put it up on the big-screen. Lay people may think that when planning a mission of such importance there was no time for watching a movie. On the contrary--in this case a movie was welcome relief from the nearly endless hours of "Medal of Honor", a first-person-shooter game that worked remarkably well on our mission planning LAN. So, we watched a movie, conversations spontaneously sprung up about the similarities between Arnhem and SCORPION, and my work was done.
I'd love to say that this led to the cancellation of the operation, or at least some re-thinking. In reality, our ground advance never bogged down and the operation was never needed.
So it goes...

Spironolactone use while Breastfeeding
Drugs containing Spironolactone: Aldactone, Aldactazide
Spironolactone Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
Spironolactone appears acceptable to use during breastfeeding.
Drug Levels
Maternal Levels. The major metabolite of spironolactone, canrenone, was measured in the serum and milk of a 17-day postpartum woman who was taking 25 mg of spironolactone four times daily. Milk canrenone levels 2 hours after the dose were 104 mcg/L, and 47 mcg/L at 14.5 hours after the dose. The authors estimated that the nursing infant would receive about 0.2% of the mother's total daily dosage in the form of canrenone.[1] Active sulfur-containing metabolites were not measured.
Infant Levels. Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Effects in Breastfed Infants
In 17-day-old breastfed (extent not stated) infant whose mother was taking 25 mg of spironolactone 4 times daily since pregnancy, serum sodium and potassium remained normal.[1]
Spironolactone 75 mg every other day was taken orally by a mother while nursing a newborn. She was also taking 400 mg of bretylium tosylate every 8 hours, atenolol 25 mg daily, propranolol 20 mg 3 times a day, and multivitamin, potassium and magnesium supplements. Jaundice, thought to be unrelated to the drug, occurred at 60 hours of age, but resolved. The infant had appropriate weight gain and development during the first 4 months of life.[2]
Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Intense diuresis can suppress lactation;[3][4] however, it is unlikely that spironolactone alone is sufficiently potent to cause this effect. Spironolactone can also cause gynecomastia.[5]

by William Shakespeare
Scholars believe that Shakespeare wrote Antony and Cleopatra in late 1606 or early 1607, shortly after writing King Lear and Macbeth (also covered in WLAIT 3: British and Irish Literature and Its Times). Shakespeare, then in his early forties, had been a working playwright for about a decade and a half. The most ambitious of the three plays that the playwright based on Roman history (the other two being Coriolanus and Julius Caesar), Antony and Cleopatra spans a wider range of time and space than any of Shakespeares works, compressing 12 years into action that shifts rapidly among Egypt, Italy, Greece, and other sites in the Mediterranean world. Though set in these far-flung places, the play invokes a foundation myth of the British themselves. According to this myth, Romes founder, Aeneas, had a descendant, Brut or Brit (hence the name Britain), who led...

Wildfire Pepper Spray
Our most popular model pepper spray is our Wildfire Pepper Spray. Both units come with an injection molded poly holster, belt clip, key chain and safety switch. Designed to repel attackers Wildfire has a very powerful pepper formula that is hot, hot, hot..2 million scoville heat units hot. In addition to causing an attacker pain, it swells the mucous membranes, which makes breathing difficult, and swells the veins in the eyes, causing the eyes to close. These effects last 20-30 minutes and cause no permanent damage. Wildfire Pepper Spray has locking actuators for extra safety. A convenient and subtle way to carry the protection you need into any environment where you might find yourself.
Our Wildfire had an extreme makeover. It is now 18% Oleo Resin Capsicum (pepper) instead of 15%
1.5 oz Wildfire 18% Item # WF-18LG $10.99 ea.

***I have updated the order form to reflect what sizes are left. They have sold so many shirts that they have run out of youth small, adult small, and adult medium.
The Colonial Kids For A Cause have been slinging "LemonAid" in the Colonial neighborhood during the tournament for 10 years now. Each year they try to raise more money than the last for a number of different charities. This year they have decided to team up with The Henry House Foundation and Cook's Children to sell t shirts to tournament goers in an effort to "Purple Out" the crowd for Friday's round. They have also secured a donor who will match up to $10,000 which is unbelievable. The kids got together and came up with this t shirt design to sell for $10 + $2 shipping. 100% of proceeds go to charity! (These kids could work for Sterling Cooper Draper Price)

Daisy and a Dove
Not together, obviously. If so, the dead bird would be hanging limply from the dog's jaws. Daisy would be very proud of herself and we would naturally have to congratulate her for the magnificent kill. Dachshund life, you know.
The dove just kept walking toward me, as if daring the dogs or I to make a move. I had to take a picture of such a bold bird.
It's boring right now. But I think boring is good. My main functions these days are clearing out closets and watching Midsummer Murders. All good.
I didn't renew my WP premium package, so changes… they are a'comin. Hey, a hundred bucks is… just that. And needed for other things now.
Live and Learn
Still yourselves and listen, chirruns, to the wisdom from a soon to be 59 year old crone…
Old women just know things.
Or is it because they've been there, done that?
This particular old woman liked the sun when she was young. Practically lived by the pool and at the beach. OH and there was much work to do on the farm…none of it inside the house. The long horseback rides… and I loved being slightly burnt. That radioactive glow really gave me a kick.
Though my memory isn't what it should be, nobody ever mentioned SPF anything.
But then I could be passing the buck.
This was my fourth MOHS surgery. Whenever the dermatologist finds something on my pale skin that looks not quite right, he biopsies it. When cancer shows up I go back in for the MOHS.
During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. Mayo Clinic.
They've been a year apart lately. I can't tell you how many times I've wished my Viking/Celtic ancestors had been black or olive skinned instead.
Passing the buck again. Story of my life.
Anyway, there is a moral to this story and I'm sure you get it. If you don't, at least I and that waiting room full of fellow tanned crones sure do.
