PITTSBURGH (AP) ? The Pittsburgh Steelers insist they don't draft based on need.
Funny, doesn't look like it.
The Steelers took major steps toward replacing departed stars Rashard Mendenhall and Mike Wallace on Friday, taking Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell in the second round of the NFL draft then grabbing Oregon State wide receiver Markus Wheaton in the third.
Pittsburgh hopes the beefy Bell can stop the revolving door in the backfield the team endured last season as Mendenhall, Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer all struggled with injuries and inconsistency.
Offensive coordinator Todd Haley believes Bell's versatility and durability could give the Steelers the kind of bruising running back the club has lacked since Jerome Bettis retired after the 2005 season.
"He's a three-down back with very good hands," Haley said of Bell. "He catches the ball very well out of the backfield. He's a young kid who doesn't have a lot of tread (off) the tire."
Something the Steelers need to boost a running game that has struggled to find consistency the last few seasons. Pittsburgh finished 26th in the league in rushing yards in 2012 as Mendenhall, Dwyer, Redman and rookie Chris Rainey all spent time working themselves into and out of coach Mike Tomlin's doghouse.
Mendenhall headed to Arizona via free agency last month after five turbulent years. Redman and Dwyer signed their restricted free agent tenders for what amounts to a one-season audition to stick around. Now they'll be joined by the precocious Bell, who needed just three seasons to become one of the best backs ever at Michigan State.
Bell ran for 3,346 career yards and 33 touchdowns with the Spartans and caught 78 passes for 531 yards and a score. He rolled up 1,793 yards in 2012, the second-highest single-season total in Michigan State history while being named to the All-Big Ten first team.
Though the 6-foot-1 Bell played at 245 pounds in college, he has already dropped 15 pounds to add some quickness. The Steelers also hope it will make him more durable. Steeler running backs Redman and Dwyer ? both listed between 230 and 235 ? had significant issues last season but Bell is taller than both players.
"I'm going to come in and compete with the other backs and the other backs are going to compete with me," Bell said. "They're going to try and make me better and I'm going to make them better at the same time. That's all going to make the team better."
An improved running game would take some of the pressure off Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers best stretch in 2012 came during a four-game winning streak at midseason that included three consecutive 100-yard games, two by Dwyer and one by Redman. They took turns getting hurt or benched over the second half of the season and failed to really seize control of the position after Mendenhall aggravated a knee injury. Bell already caught the attention of new teammate Jarvis Jones. Pittsburgh's first-round pick faced Bell while playing linebacker for Georgia in the 2012 Outback Bowl. Bell ran for two touchdowns, including one that tied the game at 27 and sent it to overtime.
"He's a big boy," Jones said.
The Steelers think Bell can be more than that. So does Bell.
"A lot of people look at me like, 'He's just a short yardage back,'" Bell said. "But I don't look at myself like that. I can get to the outside and beat you with speed. I can catch the ball out of the backfield. I can pass protect ... There's a lot of things that I can do to bring value to the Steelers and that's what I plan on doing."
While Bell could have a shot at starting this fall, Wheaton won't have quite the same pressure. He set a school record by catching 227 passes in his career at Oregon State and added 631 yards rushing. He worked at all four receiver spots though it appears he would be a more natural fit in the slot in the NFL.
Though he averaged just 13.7 yards per catch, Wheaton can get deep. He ran a disappointing 4.45 seconds in the 40-yard-dash leading up to the draft and said he ran as fast as 4.3 in college.
Either way, that already makes him the fastest wideout on the Steelers, who have sure-handed Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders slated to start. Pittsburgh needed someone who can get behind cornerbacks and Haley is encouraged by Wheaton's consistent production.
"When you put on the tape, he's a fast player," Haley said. "He's an exciting guy to have around."
Haley cautioned against making any direct comparisons between Wheaton and Wallace, noting Wheaton may be a more well-rounded player.
"The numbers aren't huge from a yards-per-catch standpoint but he's one of the guys we thought, that when the ball is in his hands he really will be more exciting," Haley said. "That leaves the door open to do a lot of things with this guy, which kind of fits in with AB and Emmanuel."
Notes: The Steelers signed free agent running back LaRod Stephens-Howling. The former Pitt star ran for 652 yards and five touchdowns in four seasons with the Cardinals and thrived as a kick returner. He led the NFL with 1,548 kickoff return yardage in 2010.

UPDATE: Bear Researcher Gets No Reprieve From Governor
ST. PAUL (AP) - A Minnesota bear researcher remains under orders to remove radio collars from bears he's studying by the end of the month, but will be allowed to appeal.
Bear researcher Lynn Rogers sounded optimistic after a meeting with Gov. Mark Dayton and Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr on Monday.
But Landwehr said afterward he does not plan to lift his decision to rescind Rogers' permit to keep tracking collars on bears in the Ely area. He says there's usually no appeal from that kind of decision, but he has decided to let Rogers present his case to an administrative law judge.
The DNR says Rogers' hand-feeding of bears makes them too accustomed to humans. The agency also says Rogers has failed to publish his research.
Rogers denies both claims.

Bicycle Wheel Persistence of Vision Hack
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Mods / Hacks,
This is a slick hack involving a bicycle wheel and a persistence of vision toy. One thing that's really cool about this one is there is a second led row that blinks out bitmaps backwards on one side of the wheel. This lets you print out text messages and have them be readable from both sides. It appears to work really well. Bicycle messengers get ready, now you can sell advertising while you work!

Write a Mac Virus for $25,000?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet, PC / Laptop, Software,
DVForge had put up a challenge on their website over the weekend, offering $25,000 to anyone who could write a virus that would infect a couple of Mac computers. The stance was that this was in response to a Symantec report that stated that Mac OS X is very close to seeing its own share of attacks. DVForge says they were simply trying to prove that it could not be done. Other are saying that this was a nicely planned PR move to get people talking about the company, and buying their products. As of today, the challenge has been taken off of the DVForge site, and there is no mention of it anywhere.

Use Non-Duo Memory Cards in Your PSP
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games,
One of the nuances with the PSP as far as memory goes is that you need to use the more expensive Duo sticks, rather than the standard Sony Memory Stick. It looks like someone has found a nice workaround in this area, as they have figured out a way to have the PSP recognize regular Memory Stick media. It takes a little bit of time to get it working, and certainly doesn't look practical, but it is still very cool nonetheless.

PSP Web Browsing Works!
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Internet, Video Games,
Using Wipeout Pure, a custom DNS FreeBSD local server and some hacking tricks a couple of people have been able to browse the web using their PSPs. Wipeout Pure includes an in-game link to a Sony download page that for now only states it is "Coming Soon", this sparked an idea from some people such as roto/mozy to find out just what was the page the PSP was accessing. After "sniffing" around they were able to find out just what link the PSP was accessing and set their local server running FreeBSD to redirect the PSP to their local file via custom DNS mapping. The result is being able to make a local file with some links to various pages of their choice. Not only are they able to surf the web using links, but also dialog box input via the PSP's Keyboard API. The website set up for information just has information they have gathered and promises a guide to be made available soon.
The site is down right now, but here's a mirror for now.

Gear Live Talks PSP on National Public Radio
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Announcements, Video Games,
A month or so ago, I got a call from NPR personality Laura Sydell asking about the impending launch of the Sony PSP. We spoke a bit on the phone, and I was then invited to come to the radio studio to talk at length about Sony's handheld. The studio segment recording lasted about 20 minutes, and the piece aired the other day. Of course, as with most media channels, segments are cut up. Take a listen to NPR's report on the PSP launch, and you will even get to hear me mention an outdated way of putting video onto the device!

Transparent Desktop Screens
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop,
It's always great to see what some free time, creativity, a notebook, and a digital camera can do. The results are illusions of transparent desktops on various notebooks. At first you might say, "Ah, that's easy" (much like I said at first) – boy was I wrong. These are harder to accomplish then it seems. You must first get the right angle with your camera, take the shot, upload it, set it as your desktop and adjust the screen to match. Seems pretty simple, right? Try it out for yourself and let us know how the result came out.

Snack food packaging growth takes on a global flavor
Changing retailer demands, eating habits, demographics, regulations and sustainability efforts are common themes in packaging, but they're especially apparent among bakery & snack product manufacturers. "Bakery and Snacks — Market Assessment 2012," released this month by PMMI, details the effects of these trends for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as their customers.
Growth patterns parallel demographic shifts
As reported in PMMI's "Global Packaging Trends – Global Growth Markets for Packaging", released in July 2012, world population growth is shifting to so-called emerging markets such as the Asia Pacific region.
The Bakery and Snacks market report notes bakery and snack products manufacturers will see that growth in action, with 4% growth predicted in U.S. sales of packaged snacks through 2015, but 7% annual growth to $334 billion in global sales of snack foods in the same period. Globally, bakery product sales are expected to increase 4.5% annually to $410 billion by 2015.
"Globally, regions such as Asia Pacific, Latin America and India are presenting the best scenarios for future growth for snacks and bakery products," said Paula Feldman, director of Business Intelligence, PMMI. "Our global packaging report noted that by 2015, world population growth will spring largely from the Asia Pacific region, which is expected to see a 160 billion-person increase in that time.
Today, the United States is the world's largest market for snacks, while European markets top the list for baked goods sales. And while 62% of the snack food companies surveyed for this market assessment see Asia Pacific markets as the source of the largest fraction of their sales growth, only 20% of bakery companies share that experience.
Custom packaging is standard
Historically, changes in consumer eating habits have driven new product development. In 2012, the driving force has shifted to the retailer; many large merchants have their own specifications for the products they carry, Feldman said.
"In the bakery and snack foods arenas, retailers are specifying package sizes, multi-packs and variety packs to optimize shelf space, and they're asking for retail-ready packaging for high-traffic areas," she said. "Convenience and drug stores also have their own sets of requirements, and more than a quarter (26%) of respondents are developing packaging accordingly."
Even dollar stores are making a difference: 27% of participants are distributing to dollar stores (and expect that part of their business to grow), and those venues are requesting smaller portions that they can sell for $1.
Retailer demands were cited by 42% of respondents as the main driver for changes to primary packaging, and 50% said they're implementing changes in their processing and packaging operations to accommodate retailers' requirements.
Equipping manufacturers to meet customer demands
To accommodate the multitudinous change agents in the bakery and snack product marketplace, manufacturers are turning to packaging machinery OEMs.
"Their requests fall into three categories: functionality, support and integration," Feldman said. "The OEM that wants to meet those needs will do best to build a relationship with the manufacturer and collaborate in the design process."
This type of partnering will help OEMs better understand needs for machine cleanliness and sanitation, the features and functionality, and automation.
"Today's baking and snack foods manufacturers want machines that can be flexible and run a variety of sizes, materials and packages; that are easier to clean and operate, ergonomically designed, and reliable. They need OEMs to clearly communicate recommended cleaning schedules and to provide knowledgeable technical support," she says. "That's in addition to

Cirillo's Melges 32 'Fantastica' Crowned Portoferraio Edition Audi Sailing Series Winner
2 June 2013
Portoferraio, Italy - What was to be a dramatic final day of racing in Portoferraio drew to a close with nothing. Due to the complete absence of wind, the very patient Race Committee was unable to start Race Six, the round that would have enabled teams to discard their worst score. Portoferraio is now complete with only five valid races on the scoreboard. Saturday's scores stand as final.
Again, it is with great congratulations to Lanfranco Cirillo aboard Fantastica and his tactician Michele Paoletti, with crew comprised of Daniele De Luca, Claudio Celon, Riamondo Tonelli, Eros Paghera, Enrico Verdinelli and Enrico Turrini as they are Portoferraio Audi Sailing Series winners. For Cirillo and team, this is their second win in a row as they also claimed victory in Porto Ercole about three weeks ago.
In second overall is Portoferraio first day leader Roberto Tomasini Grinover with tactician Vasco Vascotto on Robertissima. Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino finished in third, Andrea Pozzi's Bombarda was fourth and Naofumi Kamei on Mamma Aiuto! rounded out the top five.
Following Cirillo's success in Portoferraio, he is now seated first overall in the 2013 Audi Sailing Series Ranking, ahead of Pozzi by one point. The two have placed a massive gap in points between themselves and Edoardo Lupi's Torpyone in third and Onorato fourth. Tomasini Grinover is now seated fifth overall.
Portoferraio was organized by BPSE B.Plan Sports & Events in full coordination with the International Melges 32 Class Association (IM32CA) and Melges Europe. The next Audi Sailing Series event takes place in Torbole (Event No. 4 on 12-14 July). The final event will be the 2013 Melges 32 World Championship on 18-22 September in Porto Rotondo, Italy.

5 Multi-Tasking Must-Haves for Small Spaces
I have a love/hate relationship with my small space. I love that I'm living simply (and have less rooms to clean,) but hate feeling that I don't have enough space to entertain, or places to hide my daily clutter. Here are five multi-tasking must-haves that have made my small space seem larger than life…
Some of these ideas may not be new to you, but combining some — or all — of these small space essentials may give you the extra square footage that you've been searching for.
1. Sofa/Guest Bed: The number one space-saving, multi-purpose essential for your small space. A place to possibly lie your own head, or host your mom, friend or "distant family relative."
2. Wall Shelf/Home Office/Library: A wall shelf or floating bookcase is gold when floor space is minimal. Unlike bulky bookcases, a wall shelf can be arranged in myriad of ways to float around furniture, appliances, etc. IKEA and The Container Store have customizable storage systems or design your own out of reclaimed materials and standard wall brackets.
3. Ottoman/Additional Seating/Storage: Ottomans are a jack-of-all-trades. Not only is it place to rest your feet or substitute as a coffee table, but when you're in a bind it's a soft place for your guests to sit and chat. Add hidden storage to the mix and you're in space-saving heaven!
4. Drop-Leaf Table/Dinner for One/Party for Plenty: I have a thing for drop-leaf tables. I've had mine since college and I refuse to let it go. The perfect small space entertaining accoutrement, a drop leaf (or any table to which you can add leaves) to is a truly amazing concept! Small enough to use for your everyday dining, but expandable enough to host a monthly dinner party.
5. Lidded Storage Basket/Decorative Accent/Clutter Clearer: Baskets have saved my life …decoratively speaking! Imagine something lovely to look at, as well as a place to store your magazine stashes, extra bedding, toddler toys, paperwork, toiletries – the list goes on and on. I have a lot of baskets of all shapes and sizes in my home and wonder how I did without them!

Subject: Anti-Money-Laundering Guidance
Date: February 7, 2001
To: Chief Executive Officers of National Banks, Department and Division Heads, Examining Personnel, and Other Interested Parties
Description: Basel Committee Consultative Paper
On January 31, 2001, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (committee) published a consultative paper entitled "Customer Due Diligence for Banks." The paper is available on the committee's Web site at http://www.bis.org/publ/bcbs77.htm. Comments are being accepted by the committee until March 31, 2001.
The committee's paper provides guidance to banks and bank supervisors on customer due diligence. The paper particularly focuses on basic standards for customer acceptance, identification, and dealing with high-risk accounts; the role of supervisors; and customer due diligence in a cross-border context. Although the due diligence standards discussed in the paper are unlikely to require a change to current OCC supervisory practices in the area of anti-money-laundering, national banks are encouraged to review and comment on the paper, as appropriate. The committee will finalize the paper once the comment period is finished.
Comments may be submitted to the Basel Committee to the following address:
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision

Sept. 9, 2008
FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Overtime has not been kind to the Yale women's soccer team so far in 2008. Ahna Johnson scored her second goal of the game five minutes into the first extra period as Fairfield edged the Bulldogs 3-2 on a warm and muggy night at Lessing Field. Both Yale losses this season have come in overtime. The first was to UConn in the season opener last Friday.
"Better that it happens now, before we start Ivy League play," said Yale head coach Rudy Meredith. "Hopefully we will learn from this."
Hannah Smith scored her second career goal for the Bulldogs late in the first half, and it appeared that goal might be the game-winner. The action, though, picked up considerably in the last six minutes of regulation. Fairfield's Spenser Allaway tied it with 5:48 left on a header into the right corner.
Yale regained the lead at 87:16 with a bit of good fortune. Sophia Merrifield sent a free kick into the box and the ball was inadvertently deflected into the net off a Fairfield defender's head.
The lead didn't last long, however. Just 24 seconds later Johnson headed in a Jasmin Corniel cross for her first goal of the game.
The Stags (4-1) had the only three shots of overtime, and they capitalized on the last one. Adrienne Boyer sent a corner kick into the box, where Johnson was able to tap it in.
"Give Fairfield a lot of credit. They worked really hard and deserved to win," Meredith said.
The Bulldogs (1-2) may have been feeling the effects of playing their third game in five days. After outshooting Fairfield 7-2 in the first half, Yale managed only two shots the rest of the way.
Smith's goal at 37:12 was set up by Becky Brown, who lofted a cross into the right corner of the box, and Smith was able to head it past Fairfield goalkeeper Kelly Boudreau.
"I thought Hannah really gave us some energy coming off the bench," Meredith said. "That was a really nice goal."
The Bulldogs had a couple of good chances earlier in the half. Brown took a nice feed from Maggie Westfal, broke through the middle and chipped a shot just wide less than five minutes into the game.
Emma Whitfield had two quality opportunities later in the half. Boudreau stopped the first one, a point-blank shot from right in front, and Whitfield narrowly missed wide left from 15 yards out on the second one.
Ayana Sumiyasu finished with three saves in goal for Yale. Her best stop came when she dove to her left to smother an Allaway shot midway through the first half.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Friday when they host Western Carolina in the second game of the Yale Classic at 7:30 p.m. Delaware plays Sacred Heart at 5 p.m.
There was a familiar face on the Fairfield sideline. Susan Starr `08 is a graduate assistant coach for the Stags. Starr, a goalkeeper during her time at Yale, is second in school history in career goals against average (0.97).

This Fall, I've begun to notice a heavily contoured cheek used on the runway and in magazines. For example, look at this look from last week's Paris runway show of Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2012:
I noticed another heavily contoured look in this feature from the October '11 Vogue in this androgynous take on the trend:
I was tempted to try this look, because I love nude blushes, light bronzers and highlighters and have several in my stash. However, I did not want to apply the product so heavily and dramatically because the heavy application that you see in these examples seem best suited for a runway or fashion studio. Some ways that I played with the look include using a deeper foundation shade on the lower cheek, and a subtle highlighter on the upper cheek. This is the most subtle version of the contoured cheek that I can create.
Another is to use a deep blush and highlighter combination, such as the Chanel Soho blush/ highlighter that was released last Fall (limited edition)

Back on to topic, I'm really interested to see how much of the "manga" they wrote will be revealed to us. I mean, we got the preliminary idea/concept of their story, but we aren't told much. It would be pretty cool if they could narrate us some of the plot as the editor looks through it. Though I doubt that's how it is written, because it must be pretty hard on the mangakas of Bakuman to flush out some of these stories if they have to do a ton of em. Oh well, eiher way, Bakuman has been pretty fun to follow, despite being a little bit slow imo, but it's still keeps my interest. It's just very unique and I want to know more!

After the first few seconds of the manga inclusion, I was floored. That was one area that the anime could easily outshine the manga. Unfortunately, they expanded it just a little too much for me, and I got bored of it before it was done. If they had made it just a little bit shorter it would have been perfect.

They expanded the Two Earths' story, nice! I hope they'll do the same for the future manga. Another thing I hope they'll show us is Miho working towards becoming a seiyuu, it would be very fitting for the anime. Hattori's voice was a bit different from what I expected, but it's good.

Well now things are moving along. You knew they were going to get shot down to a degree with their first manuscript. Still the criticism wasn't bad and should help them moving forward. Agree that Mashiro should make sure to add his opinion earlier. If there is anything up with the story it should be discussed before they go too far with it. Otherwise they are kind of just wasting their time.
Wow that seating arrangement at the end . Sure might be easier to get the mail info now, though with those two it's going to be tough. Wonder how their year is going to go with them being so nervous beside each other.

Finally an episode as good as the first two. I found the previous three to be way too slow moving, but things seem to have picked up now. The conversation with the Shounen JACK editor was quite interesting, though I can't help but laugh at his standards with all the crap I see serialized in Jump these days.

Duno, the idea about two earths seems interesting but at the same time the over all idea of rebelion and stuff is really cliche, especially with returned lover like nothing happened. Maybe if it had more details and all it would be better but like that I found it slightly MEH...
And come on you two! Stop blushing at each other and acting like little kids! I guess I'll never understand this kind of lover birds, they really annoy me. Actually their whole idea of "We won't talk for god knows how long but we will merry once we will reach our dreams..." what kind of bull shit is that? How can you merry someone when you don't even talk to each other and can't even act natural with each other?!
I really hope that they will figure it out, so far their romance just ruins series for me.

I was soooo looking forward to animated manuscripts...a real letdown that they decided to have a freaking slideshow in an anime. I'm an avid manga reader, so it doesn't bother me as much, but I gather the majority of anime-only viewers will get bored of this quickly...

Cream Cheese Wedding Mint Recipe
With June just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to share a recipe for all the brides-to-be out there. These little mints are a traditional wedding snack, and are something easy a bride can make to save a little dough. There are lots of other things a bride could use money for, a little extra money for the honeymoon, a new pair of shoes or even just a little extra money to help pay for the big day.
Cream Cheese Wedding Mints
4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
16 ounces powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon peppermint, amaretto or your favorite flavor
gel food coloring of your choice
mint molds
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and your favorite flavor together in a food processor just until combined. Add the flavoring and mix a little more. Taste mix to see if it has the desired flavor, if not, add a little flavoring at a time until desired flavor is reached. Now process the mixture until it becomes a stiff dough. Add gel food coloring one drop at a time until desired color is reached. You can always add more powdered sugar if the dough starts to get sticky while processing in the color. Roll the dough into small balls and then coat them by rolling them in the sugar. Now press the ball into the mold, and then flip the mold over and release the mint. Repeat until all the dough is gone.

Addendum to Whiskey's Law
In the same way that Black society is worth studying, because Blacks collapsed much faster into illegitimacy than Hispanics, Whites, and Asians, so too are places like Sweden, or the United Kingdom. Any remedy that seeks to reverse say, illegitimacy will find far greater effectiveness if it can first understand why the Black nuclear family so rapidly ceased to exist, and why Asians have the lowest rate of illegitimacy among racial groups in the US. Whiskey's Law is only a theory, one I offer for testing and revision, to understand why PC and Multiculturalism is so strong in some places and not in others, and how to remedy the situation.
There are of course limits. Switzerland may have a greater social distance between men and women (women only got the vote over all Cantons in 1971), or it may be that direct democracy simply limits elites. It is however quite odd that elites in the West conspire in the "hi-lo" team-up as Steve Sailer noted, with the low part of the team-up being foreigners. A commenter from India noted that the elites in India have basically brushed off the middle class, noting they have hundreds of millions of votes from poor people, and thus don't have to listen to middle class concerns. But India did not see the need to import impoverished foreigners against their own people, nor has similar "hi-lo" team-ups in places like say, Thailand, or Portugal or Ireland or Hungary resulted in mass immigration, even when in some cases the amount of poor people is relatively low compared to the middle class. It seems odd that elites in the West would seek to import aliens in every way to their nations, given the overt threat to replacing them, which they themselves recognize. The famous quote in Sweden by a high ranking Socialist party member that when Muslims become the majority they will treat Swedes well. Who really believes that?
Other nations that have low amounts of PC and Multiculturalism may be reflecting direct democracy and limits on elites, rather than higher amounts of inequality socially between men and women. But it does seem quite odd that elites in places like Sweden loathe themselves and their nation, while in say, Japan the elites love Japan and all aspects of being Japanese. As do say, Italians and being Italian, even or especially among the elites. Italian elites as far as I know, don't go around disparaging Verdi or Da Vinci and saying they were nothing but trash for being "Dead White Men." Nevertheless the usefulness or not of "Whiskey's Law" remains in its power to describe and PREDICT what societies will be riven by self-hatred and thus PC and Multiculturalism, and which societies will be relatively free of it.
I must also point out that what (under Whiskey's Law) Western Women are seeking, and particularly Elite Western Women, is not a Hitlerian "Kinder, Kuche, Kirche" society, (children, kitchen, church) but one in which men are sexier. If most men are equal, socially, they need to be sexier in other areas. When men do things women say they want, like share household chores, change diapers, cook dinners, do the dishes, etc. they must be far sexier. If today's women's grandmothers were satisfied with men who were faithful, loyal, loving and dependable, and their mothers with men who were faithful, loyal, loving, dependable, and charming and intelligent, today's women demand men who are faithful, loyal, loving, dependable, charming, intelligent, and most of all SEXY!. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo Di Caprio can afford to change diapers, or take care of kids, or be a "Kitchen Bitch" if they want to -- they're big time hot celebrity men who most of the female population wants to have sex with, they can afford it. Today's men, cannot, without an extra effort to become far sexier than they already are.
This accounts in my view, for the failure of the nuclear family in the West, seen first among Black people. Most men cannot be George Clooney, by definition. And being a sexy dominant A-hole who is also charming, in other words "Game" as defined by the various pickup artists, such as "Mystery," or Neil Strauss (aka "Style") or Roissy, is akin to becoming an accomplished martial artist. It takes massive dedication, constant practice, extended training, and astonishing amounts of discipline. Time that competes with all other demands.
Women when made equal to most men, don't want a return to social inequality at lower, previous levels. They do not want a return to being "barefoot and pregnant" in the kitchen. Indeed if you look at the movie "Bridesmaids" which plays on female fears of status and romance, the lead character is insecure because she's unemployed, suddenly, loses her boyfriend, and looks like nothing compared to a successful friend. Women want to keep their careers which mark them successful, competent, and important, outside romantic relationships. Women know, that they will not always be pretty (the error many women consistently make is overestimating their time that they will be pretty). They do not want, despite the popularity of Mad Men, and other projects mining that territory (correction, "Pan Am" is being shown on ABC, not NBC, "Playboy Club" is on NBC), to return to the days of female social inequality. Women in the West merely want sexier men. Sexy being defined as dominant, cocky, arrogant, amusing, always having the right words to say, and being desired by all other women around them.
The ability of men in the West to become what women want, that level of sexiness, is probably quite limited. A few pick up artists and their followers, if they practice diligently, can become that kind of man. Which women find quite satisfying. Probably more common will be the "Situation" type approach, the muscle-guido combination which is found in the site Hot Chicks With Douchebags. It probably does not matter which approach is taken, the recovery of the West hinges on women finding Western men sexy and therefore worthy of defense and admiration. If most men become like the Situation, well it does not matter in the short term, because then PC and Multiculturalism would die down. Most Western Women finding their men quite sexy, because now even if they were roughly equal in pay, status in the company, and so on, working alongside them in a cubicle next door, many women would want them. Therefore, they are by definition desirable. And thus, worthy of defense.
PC and Multiculturalism, therefore, as defined as part of "Whiskey's Law" is merely the overt disgust of most Western women particularly those in the elites with the non-sexy nature of the men who are mostly equal to them. If not outright inferior in social stature, a dweeby guy being inferior to a hot chick, even if the dweeby guy is a relatively high earning accountant and the hot chick works at a Starbucks. The way then to kill PC and Multiculturalism, if "Whiskey's Law" is at all an accurate model for explaining those phenomena, is to make most men far sexier. Thus erasing the reason for PC/Multiculturalism among (particularly) elite women.
Can the West be saved? I think yes, but it will not be saved by acts of bravery, it is sad that no one remembers or cares about 9/11 and the heroic sacrifices of the firemen and police that day, or the passengers who fought back on Flight 93. Women particularly in the elite do not lust after them. Instead of Special Ops fighters, firemen, cops, and ordinary men thrust into heroism, women lusted after sparkly gay vampires (Twilight) or more brutal kinds (Tru Blood). Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson are objects of lust. Not firemen and cops.
Rather, the West will be saved by men like the Situation, or Roissy, or those who follow either path. To become sexy. Like it or not, the fundamentals of human nature still apply. Women will defend men they find desirable and sexy, no matter what they do. Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, Bill Clinton, all behaved criminally or poorly, but women defend them because they are the big-shot big man dominant A-hole that most crave. [Not all women crave the A-hole, but enough do to make that behavior the dominant preference in women in the West.] No amount in justifiable pride in the considerable achievements of the West, which in total add up to far higher than any other civilization, will save the West. Women don't care about that any more than they find the ability of male nerds to create amazing technology sexy. Rather it is the social dominance by being attractive to the broadest range of women that has the only possibility of saving the West. One Pickup Artist or Douchebag at a time.

The way to kill PC and multiculturalism is to make there be consequences for bad behavior. The consequence being hunger and reliance on charity for survival. As it is, if a woman goes out and gets preggers by an alpha douchebag and he runs off, all she has to do is march down to the welfare office and get on the dole.
What allows the woman to go down and get on the dole and thus avoid consequences for her actions? Simple - THE IDEA THAT IT IS OK TO TAKE FROM ONE PERSON AND GIVE TO ANOTHER. If you eliminate the theft, the welfare system goes away and thus the lusting after alphas. Betas like you will get more poon because you are largely stable and dependable although boring and not sexy.
- September 13, 2011 at 6:11 AM
The only reason women idealize the kind of douchey alpha you talk about is because there are no consequences for idealizing them. If there were real consequences for idealizing unstable, undependable and immature men, women would stop lusting after them. End forced slavery to the state and you end the idealization of douchebags.

Too bad the most unhappy creature on the planet is a 45 year old unmarried professional woman.
Z, if you read Michael Oren's Power, Faith and Fantasy you will note that America has always been fascinated with the middle east. The second most popular book after the bible in 18th century America was the Arabian Nights. US marines were the first to adopt the Egyptian Mameluke sword as a ceremonial officer's weapon, soon copied by *ahem* certain nations. So that romantic ideal of Araby has always been present.

Anonymous:"(Whiskey is)...boring and not sexy." HA!Theres a lot of ladies who might take issue with THAT!!!
- September 13, 2011 at 8:01 AM
I agree with the premise, but I don't think most guys are going to be able to pull off either "cocky/funny" or "guido/musclehead" very well. I suspect that the overall level of "sexiness" among average guys is going to continue to decline, slightly, until it reaches some level of stasis which is around or maybe slightly below where we are today. The reason is that it is simply too difficult for most guys to pull either one off.
I therefore expect that in the years ahead we will continue to see marriage rates declining in every demographic other than the two-professional-income-very-highly-educated-couples demographic (less than 3%, because less than 3% of the total pop has a graduate or professional degree), while it will decline everywhere else. It remains in the "sliver" demographic because these people are way disproportionately future-oriented compared to the general population, and also tend to find themselves in the "in between spot", once married, where there isn't enough money to make divorce painless, but enough combined money to make remaining married rather very preferable to being divorced.
In all other demographics, marriage will continue to decline as women opt for other arrangements. Yes, a good amount of this is low-education and status babymommas getting WIC and so on. But it also happens in the college-educated demographic (at 39% a fairly significant chunk of people) in that people either have kids out wedlock (normally with sexier men who are bad husband candidates) or, in the cases where marriage *does* occur, get divorced in large numbers, dumping the unsexy betas of this level in the hopes of finding a "better man" (read: a sexier one). It's this "fat demo" that is really struggling now with marriage -- both in forming and maintaining it. The sliver demo above it stays married for the reasons I note above, while in the lower demo below it, marriage is becoming quite rare.
Whiskey's diagnosis is essentially correct for everyone but the sliver demo: men are not bringing what women want to the table, which is at least the ability to support themselves (often lacking in the lower demo) and, in higher demos where this is a given and where women can themselves support themselves, generally sexiness. It's the one "value add" that men can provide to women today. They can pretty much do everything else themselves. Why be married to a kitchen bitch when you can divorce him and get him to pay for an au pair who will be your paid kitchen bitch while you chase sexier men for fun, tingles, and sex? Of course, it doesn't always (or even generally) work out as planned, as women become less sexy themselves and tend to over-rate their ability to trade-up in their 40s when they generally divorce, but one can understand the thinking quite well. If a woman can obtain the financial support of a man from the court system and the chores/household tasks provided by a nanny or au pair, also paid by ex-hubby (at least in part), why bother staying married to him if he isn't giving you the tingles? In the sliver demo, the calculus is somewhat different, because of the "sweet spot" such couples are often in financially where the whole really is greater than the sum of one of its parts plus court-mandated payments. But for the much larger demographic right below them? Not really.

Whiskey has said many times [and even in this very post] that most men don't have the capacity to make themselves into pickup artists or douchebags. Many don't want to either. [I'm a MGTOW guy. I have no interest in becoming a PUA or a Situation clone just to get women]. Therefore, this will not save the West because most men can't or won't buy into the program.
Even if men could and would turn themselves into Mystery or the Situation, the fact is that Western civilization was not built by the likes of Mystery and the Situation. These people are barbarians. Barbarians don't build civilizations; they destroy them. Even smart PUAs like Roissy acknowledge this.
What is to be done?
The only way to change the situation is to reverse feminism. Restore women to their natural role in society. Most women don't like having to work in the real world anyway and they thus drop out [hence the pay gap]. Therefore, only men should work in the real world. Women also don't like men who do housework. Therefore, only women should do the housework. We should also bring back slut shaming. Daughters who dishonour the family through slutty behaviour should be sent to live in a convent. Divorce should also be eliminated in all but the most rare circumstances and only for a damn good reason [extreme physical abuse or child abuse, for example]. Obviously, an objective fault requirement in divorce law is essential.
I know all of these remedies are harsh in this day and age, but there is no other way. There is no successful civilization in the history of the world in which men and women were equal. It's simply not natural and when you try to mess with nature, nature always reasserts itself and bites you in the ass. The equality of men and women today, as well as the rise of the likes of Mystery and the Situation are all symptomatic of the decadence and decline of the West. If we don't reverse feminism drastically now, the West is dead. The West's future will be the London riots writ large.

There's a lot of truth to what you say, but most of the cops, pilots, and special ops-type guys that I know are not exactly hurting for female companionship. Elite liberal women may not find them attractive, but lots of middle and working class women do. Even in our bizzaro world of today, chicks still dig a uniform, especially one associated with actual danger and derring-do. Of course, I live in the Midwest - things may be different elsewhere.

Here's the problem. Most people don't realize just how much unglamorous, unsexy grunt work it takes to keep comfortable western lifestyles going.
Comfortable western lifestyles don't happen without vast nameless armies of men (and a very, very few women) devoting their lives to studying thrilling topics like optimal trash can location and collection schedules, traffic light timing, road surfacing and thousands of other things that no one notices unless something goes wrong.
What women (as a group) and many elite men don't get is that there are men willing and able to devote their working lives to these necessary processes _if_ that career path leads to a family life (wife and kids - which is what most men want). When all the women start chasing high powered executives or lowlife bad boys (in a word: alphas) and think they "deserve more" than a guy who helps make sure that the nasty stuff goes away when they flush the toilet then those men will stop doing that kind of work and the comfortable western lifestyle is history. Orwell was wrong, the new world isn't a boot stamping on a human face it's bumbling, hardscrabble Mexico everywhere and forever. This is _exactly_ what the elite (male and female) want for the US.
Societies can do fine without sexy alphas if there are enough betas doing boring unglamorous grunt work that makes life better for everyone. Societies turn into shit on an ice cream stick without beta worker bees and women (ironically enough) suffer the most when betas are in short supply or have simply opted out of a game they can't win.
Soon enough western women will end up taking a dump by the side of road because their man can't be bothered with lame ass shit like making sure that the torlets work.
While I'm here: Another problem is that no one that you see day in day out at close range can hope to remain 'sexy'. Womens preference for sexy men is a de facto choice to not have a man around on a daily basis.

True but most of these guys become kitchen bitches (betas) when they settle down. They typically have 1-2 divorces and are financially wiped out due to them. Their lives don't turn out well much of the time.
All the more reason to avoid marriage/children. Now it's even proven that testosterone levels drop with fatherhood and domestication. The very wiring that gives women their security is what repulses them. This appears to me a recent trend more due to social changes than any evolution in women.

The magnanimity of northern men is to blame for their PC, multiculturalism and female empowerment.
What do northern men get in return for their magnanimity? I have discussed this with my male Swedish friends. What is the number one thing you have gained from immigration? Answer. Kebabs. Name another thing?..tick tick tick.."Cheap coke(soda) at Turkish shops"...and another..tick tick tick..pause.."Maybe pizzas, but we had them before I think"....another.. "I can't think of another"!
- September 14, 2011 at 3:34 AM
Whiskey, as you said yourself, being a sexy alpha male is a full-time job.
Guys who are always peacocking and partying aren't going to save civilization, because they won't have time to do anything else but be sexy.
All of The Situation's time and energy goes to the gym, tanning bed, ironing his shirts, figuring out what product to put in his hair, and hitting the clubs.
You think a bunch of guys like that can sit down and plan a city sewer system or interstate bypass? But I guess they are supposed to be the role model to emulate now?
Women are spoiled and entitled beyond all reason, that's the real problem. They think they are entitled to the best of everything, and if they don't get it, it's because someone conspired to steal what was owed to them.
Even if all middle-class white guys started working out like madmen, tanning and swaggering around aggressively, soon The Situation would become the "new normal," and women would shift to lusting after only the top ten percent of Situation clones.
Because every man would be a tanned Guido musclehead, you see, so 90% of them would be "average" and therefore boring to hypergamous females.
The way to save civilization is to have men go back to doing what they think is right and not giving a shit what women think about it. That's how civilization was built, from 1000 BC to around 1960 AD in the first place!

sestamibi and Pete,
Thanks gentlemen. I'm glad I'm not the only one with rather extreme un-PC views. And yet, all we want is restoration of what was the completely normal status quo for centuries.

To the extent that PC and multiculturalism are extreme expressions of radical egalitarianism that has been with us since the French Revolution, the greater equality of women need only be seen as one such manifestation of that phenomenon. Thus, why could your law not just as easily be expressed as "the greater equality there is between [social class or phenomenon X] and [social class or phenomenon Y], the more PC and multiculturalism there will be"?
So, if there is such a correlation between the treatment of men and women, it may also be there for majority and minority race, heterosexual and homosexual, adult and child, religion X and religion Y. Why can these variables not be used just as profitably to make the assessment and prediction.
If radical egalitarianism is the source of the problem, then any historical reason why a given society can be guilted into regretting some past inequality will also have predictive power. In the US, that wrong was slavery; in Europe, colonialism. In places like Scandinavia, which never really wronged anybody, it seems to be residual French Revolution philosophy combined with a guilt for having nothing to feel guilty for.
And if you look at places that are not moving towards PC at a rapid pace, it is generally because they lack that feeling of guilt. Japanese feel very little contrition over WWII; they don't like to talk about it, but they generally feel like THEY were wronged.
I guess Whiskey will say they don't feel guilty because men are still in charge. That raises a question I have with your "law": are you claiming it is a law of cause and effect, or merely correlation? If it is just correlation, then I would stand by what I said above. And if you are claiming cause and effect, you would have to say that non-PC places are that way because the women haven't taken over.
But I can even see exceptions there: China is a place that has been relatively serious about imposing equality of the sexes in the workplace. Yet, that does not seem to have had any effect on relations between the sexes in the home. So called "strong women" still do the cooking, take care of the kids, etc. If you look at the workplace, China may even be ahead of Western countries; but if you look at the home, it looks like the US ca. 1950.
One other point, the breakdown of the African-American household may have been an expression of their racial characteristics: there was much less of a tradition of nuclear households and small tight-knit families in many African cultures. Loose family structure, uncertain paternity, polygamy and maternal heads of families were much more common. So the "breakdown" of the African-American family may have been no more than a reversion to form, combined with and perhaps accelerated by the pernicious effects of the welfare state.

Anon -- guilt is not a particularly powerful emotion. It generally does not make men give up advantages in life. I've seen relatively few examples of guilt making men (who have held power for most of human existence) give over their money, position, and power to someone else.
China has a huge social distance between men and women, as does Japan, even with efforts to egalitarianize things by Mao and Japanese reformers. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean culture is simply too strong. Western nations by contrast already had a tradition of rough, semi-equality (women had far better treatment in the West than elsewhere).
What man would want to exalt others over him? What man dreams of being ruled by foreign men? Very few. However women disgusted with their own men is another story.
The EDL (anti-immigration) is almost exclusively male. Pro immigration is almost exclusively female in Britain. It makes perfect sense.

What is a Radiologic Technologist?
Radiologic Technologists (also known as Radiographers) use radiation to produce images of tissues, organs, bones, and vessels that comprise the human body. The curriculum includes instruction in patient care and management, radiation protection, imaging procedures, quality assurance, recording media processing, equipment maintenance, interpersonal communication, and professional responsibility through an integration of classroom, laboratory, and clinical education. The radiographer is a skilled healthcare professional qualified to provide patient services using imaging modalities as directed by qualified physicians.
Learn about the most recent trends for Radiologic Technologists from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
Radiographers are employed in hospitals, clinics, physicians' offices, public health, mobile x-ray companies, and industry. With more specialized education, a qualified Radiographer may advance into the areas of Radiation Therapy, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasonography, Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), education, or administration.

Italian Bread, David's recipe
I was refreshing my starter to make pain de campagne when I saw this post. Your Italian bread is beautiful inside and out. I decided to try this and was VERY happy with the results. A really delicious bread, we ate half a loaf already.
I doubled the recipe to make four batards. The only thing I did different is I used Barley Malt Syrup instead of the powder because that's what I had. Next time I'd mix it with the water first because it was hard to mix in. I don't have a mixer so I did stretch and folds and a couple of minutes kneading. My crumb is not as open as yours. The first two loaves overproofed a little because my grandkids were getting ready to go home just as the loaves were ready to go in the oven. By the time we said our goodbyes I knew the bread had gone too long. You can see which two they are. The second two had time to sit and ferment while the first two were baking and by the time I formed them they had lots of air bubbles. I formed carefully and only let them proof for a little more then 30 minutes. Absolutely delicious! After all the lean breads a litte bit of sugar and oil were very tasty. I like the lean breads for toast and this Italian will be a favorite sandwich bread. Thanks for the post.

Minneapolis - 2013by Charlie Crowley '70 • October 7, 2013 Share:
On a cool and damp Minnesota morning, Wabash Day had three Wabash alumni participants in their volunteer effort: Erik Dove '88, Justin Killian '03, and Charles Crowley '70. The day took them to the Minnesota State Capitol grounds where the Wabash men joined a cadre of volunteers for Twin Cities in Motion.
Twin Cities In Motion (TCM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization promoting healthy lifestyles through running outreach and community events since 1982. Its goal is simple--to inspire millions of miles and create billions of smiles among runners, friends, families and communities that TCM reaches. It works to inspire fitness and wellness, one mile at a time, among children, families, individuals and corporations.
TCM holds 21 race events annually for all ages and abilities. A unique giving model allows TCM to generate more than $750,000 annually for youth, wellness, charities and the sport of running.
On the day before the internationally known Twin Cities Marathon, Twin Cities In Motion held several race events: Family Fun Races, including the Toddler Trot, Diaper Dash and the Mascot Race; Age and School Grade races; 1 Mile and ½ Mile races; in addition to 10K and 5K races.
Our Wabash men performed several tasks including general event set up, being a walking information booth complete with a neck hanging map, manning the bag check area and handing out medals for the children's races. A smiling child with a medal on their neck is a great way to end a volunteer experience.

What I got my kids for Easter!!
If you read my last post you know I just simply forgot to share this vlog with all of you. It went up a day or two before Easter, and my kids ended up LOVING their baskets this year! I am so happy I decided to film what all I got so I can always remember them haha! The baskets themselves were my favorite part of the entire gift. I also did some filming on Easter that morning and throughout the day, but my laptop hasn't been accepting my files!

Apparently a new recruit at Fort Leavenworth back in 1849 figured he had it pretty good, according to my grandmother.
The average soldier, who probably had no money back home to speak of, now had a payday worth a whopping $8 a month, a dollar of which was kept out each month and retained until the end of his enlistment.
The soldiers considered themselves very comfortable in those days with bed sacks filled once a month with fresh hay, which they called "prairie feathers," a pair of soldier blankets, and an overcoat against the cold winter winds, which also served as a pillow.
The soldiers would saw a few wooden barrels in two pieces and place them in the company kitchen every evening between supper and bedtime and those made very good bath tubs.
One of the recruits, Percival G. Lowe, which arrived at Fort Leavenworth back then, left a pretty vivid picture of post life for us young 21st century dwellers.
My grandmother — my mother's mom — was a Lowe by birthright, and claimed relationship to Percival, so I've heard the stories all of my life. She was quite a good story teller and loved to tell me stories about her childhood and ancestors while I was growing up out on the farm with her and my grandfather.
Her people came from Holland and were shoe carpenters by trade — they made those clumsy wooden shoes the Dutch children were lucky enough to wear.
She even had a genuine wooden shoe sitting up on the shelf that was passed down to her through the generations. She would sometimes get it down for us kids to look at, but we were never allowed to touch it, so I never got to try it on my foot.
Anyway, back to the soldiers.
My grandmother said the very method by which the new recruits arrived at the fort was quite a challenge in itself. Uncle Percival and many of the enlisted men came from back East and attended boot camp at Carlisle, Pa. When it came time to join their post in the West, there were no airplanes to fly them there like there is today. In fact, back in 1849 there weren't many railroads either.
There were a few railroads back East, but none of them ran as far as the Mississippi River, meaning there were absolutely no trains to Fort Leavenworth. So, from boot camp they were sent by rail car as far as Harrisburg, Pa., and then transferred to a canal boat, which carried them to the foot hills of the Allegheny Mountains.
They got off the boat and marched up and over the mountains to another awaiting canal boat on the other side. That boat took them on to Pittsburg, where they could then float the Ohio River by steamboat all the way down to the Mississippi, then up to the Missouri River at St. Louis.
If they were lucky enough to arrive at St. Louis in the summertime, it was a good trip on up to Fort Leavenworth. However, the Big Muddy had a bad habit of freezing pretty solid during the wintertime and that presented a whole different picture.
Uncle Percival Lowe was not one of the lucky ones; he arrived at St. Louis in the dead of winter and had to march by foot most of the way over difficult roads on up to Fort Leavenworth.
Lowe served five years at the fort in the dragoons and afterwards in the Quartermaster Department.
When he was mustered out, he settled in and around Leavenworth where he became a prominent citizen. I guess you could say he was the father of the Lowemont community.
Ted W. Stillwell is available to speak before any club, church, civic, senior, or school group. To reach him, email email@example.com or call (816) 252-9909.

b. 120V, white w/stripe; 277V white
c. 120V, white; 277V white w/stripe
d. Either "b" or "c"
e. Any of the above
Answers and Discussion
1. d, Sec. 200-6. For the first time, three continuous white stripes join white as a permitted method for grounded conductor identification. The color "gray" is a controlled color, and can't be used as a grounded conductor identifier. The term "natural gray" refers to the natural color of latex or unbleached muslin. Over 75 years ago when this first went into the Code, conductor insulation consisted of covered natural rubber. Although the term still survives in the Code, these conductors haven't been in production for generations.
2. b, Sec. 200-6(b). The identifying method has to encircle the conductor. Taking a brush or marker to the outward side only of installed conductors doesn't do it.
3. a, Sec. 200-7(c)(1). You can reidentify in this direction (making what was white, black) by right, without showing qualified supervision. However, the former allowance to do this on conductors in a raceway is no more. You can withdraw and replace raceway conductors with others having the appropriate insulation color.
4. c, Sec. 200—6(e) Ex. 1. This is the reverse of the previous question (making what was black, white). Here, you may do so only with qualified maintenance/supervision, only in cable assemblies.
5. d, Sec. 200-7(c)(2). Now the principle of reidentification applies to switch loops, just the same as in other cases where you want to take a white wire and use it as an ungrounded conductor. If you do reidentify these wires (as before, only in cable assemblies), then both answers are acceptable. Note this change makes Sec. 200-7(c)(2) functionally redundant to Sec. 200-7(c)(1). The first says you can reidentify white wires generally and use them as ungrounded conductors; the second says the same for switch loops, when you're using them as ungrounded conductors. No difference.
6. a, Sec. 200-2, Sec. 250-184(a) Ex. 2, Sec. 225-4 Ex. Although overhead conductors are normally insulated, and medium-voltage neutral conductors normally need 600V insulation, grounded conductors need not be insulated if some Code rule expressly provides for this. Sec. 250-184(a) Ex. 2 waives the insulation rule for overhead medium-voltage neutrals.
7. d, Sec. 200-6(d). As previously discussed, gray isn't allowed, even if this does happen to be a near universal convention. The options are white and white with a stripe. The Code doesn't say which should be used with the lower system voltage, so it's up to you to decide which system gets the plain white. Due to the universality of the 277V4gray convention, many local jurisdictions amend this requirement. However, so far, the panel has refused to modify this rule.

I did some searching around though; What I did find was they have an A+ with the BBB, but the schools are in there individually, so I don't think it's entirely a fair score. They are accredited by the BBB also. I have read a lot of mixed reviews though, so it's really confusing. I am thinking that a Community College would be better, but I wanted to get an opinion from some people that might have gone there.
From what I've read, your skills and what you have to offer is more important than the school, but I have seen people that completely dislike it. The most troubling issue is that they are a profit organization, while other schools are non-profit.

The children are very lonely since different genders have different ways of seeing things and preferences. If the girl does what her brother does, she will become 'Tom boy'. If the boy does what his sister does, he will become sissy. Therefore, I think the right number of children in the family is four and two boys and two girls will be perfect.

Dec. 15, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior James Oleinik added to an awards-filled postseason by being selected as the 2008 Nils V. "Swede" Nelson Award winner. Presented at the "Bob" Whelan College Awards Dinner by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston, the "Swede" Nelson Award is the fourth-oldest nationally recognized collegiate football award in the nation.
The Nelson Award is given annually to the "very best, and most academically talented," college senior in New England, playing at the Division II and III levels. Oleinik started all 10 games for the Engineers this past season, and was the dominant force behind MIT's impressive running game.
As the starting right guard, Oleinik helped produce the NCAA's ninth-best rushing attack (275.4 yards per game) while the Engineers as a group yielded just six sacks. Oleinik, who hails from Ellicott City, Md., was named the New England Football Conference (NEFC) Offensive Lineman of the Year for the second straight season in addition to First Team All-Division plaudits. Named team captain for the 2008 campaign, Oleinik was also a semifinalist for the coveted Draddy Trophy.
In the classroom, Oleinik has maintained a 4.6 grade point average while pursuing a degree in Computer Science and Engineering. Adding the 6.170 Anti-Chess Artificial Intelligence Tournament Championship to his list of academic accolades, Oleinik earned a Northrop Gruman Engineering Scholars Scholarship.
Given annually since 1946, the Nelson Award follows only the Heisman, Maxwell, and The Gridiron Club's own "Bulger" Lowe in longevity.

This Saturday, 12 talented speech arts students from Val Macdonald's studio, aged six to 15, will take to the stage to present 46 pieces of poetry, prose and monologue.
The concert, open to the public, is a dress rehearsal for these youngsters' later performances in the Speech Arts division of the North Island Festival of Performing Arts (NIFPA), which be featured during adjudicated sessions Feb. 23 to 25 at the same venue.
"The question I am asked most is, 'What is Speech Arts?' " comments Macdonald, an actor and teacher who holds degrees in theatre and applied linguistics. "Most people think it is old-fashioned elocution or recitation but modern speech arts combines performance art with foundational life skills.
"These students learn the fundamentals of performing while also developing an appreciation for language and literature which come from 'doing' rather than just listening.
"I absolutely love seeing the imagination and creativity each of these young people bring to their pieces. They learn how to present themselves in a confident, natural and clear manner, skills which they use in so many ways, every day of their lives."
The concert on Saturday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Old Church Theatre in Courtenay will give the young performers a chance to hone their skills in front of a supportive audience.
"The step from private weekly lessons in a home setting to being on an actual stage is a huge one," Macdonald acknowledges. "I'm always a bit nervous on their behalf but these youngsters show amazing focus and commitment. I learn so much from them and am constantly surprised at their abilities."
Admission for the two-hour concert is by donation at the door, with proceeds going to the speech arts division of NIFPA. The concert is recommended for ages five and up, with doors open at 6:10 p.m. for festival seating.
For more information, contact Val Macdonald at firstname.lastname@example.com or 250-339-0280. NIFPA details are online at www.nifpa.org.
