I have finally started understanding some parts of delhi. I can reach Vasant Vihar, Saket, gurgaon etc. without much help. Tull knows the areas broadly and defying the girls reputation of being bad with directions she is pretty okay with directions.
We went to Punjabi by Nature at PVR Priyaon Wednesday. I liked the ambience. I also liked the food. Service was decent. They levy 10% service charge by default. The naan at PBN was so huge that one of them would be sufficient (or more) for a normal adult. Again only the costly side. I would give it 4 stars (* * * *).

When Verizon Wireless switched to tiered data on July 7th we knew it was a matter of time before one of the other wireless carriers jumped on them. The problem is AT&T couldn't because, like Verizon Wireless, they too offer tiered data. T-Mobile may try to pass off a poke at Verizon however they have an unlimited data threshold that once crossed they throttle the user's data.
Sprint has produced this new commercial which clearly explains to customers the difference between Sprint's unlimited and everyone elses. Sprint still keeps their phone customers unlimited, truly unlimited.
More after the break
You may remember last summer when the Evo 4G was released Sprint instituted a 4G data fee of $10. After a high level of scrutiny from customers who purchased the Evo 4G in 3G only areas. In January Sprint changed the $10 fee to a "smartphone data" fee and issued it across all of their smartphones.
Now, even with the extra $10 for smartphones, their unlimited value proposition is a better value than the tiered data on AT&T and Verizon. On the smartphone side Sprint doesn't differentiate between 3G and 4G either so if you are in one of their WiMax areas you get the absolute best value for your unlimited cell phone dollars.
With Sprint's MiFi devices, like the Overdrive, they do cap the 3G data a 5gb however 4G/WiMax is truly unlimited.
Sprint is currently the third largest carrier in the country. They have taken a strong opposition to the AT&T/T-Mobile merger, however if they can continue to market themselves as truly unlimited, with an excellent portfolio of devices, they have a good chance of attracting more value conscious customers who want the latest technology.

You had my attention with the sparkly rhinestone Jeweled Christmas Tree picture. My nan used to say I was like a Raven because I was always attracted to bright sparkly rhinestones.
Oh my, aren't Paul Simon and Art just the cutest pair.
Your booth looks very attractive and Christmasy.

Everything looks great. Our bazaar season has started here ... I know how much work goes into doing a craft fair ... stopped doing them years ago. I'm surprised the ephemera packs didn't sell.

Thank you for showing lots of photos of your craft booth. Good news about your friend, Jeanelle! Loved the rhinestone tree plaque. And I have a bunch of the fluted tins that need to be made into some cute ornaments. My BFF and I are talking about doing at least 1 craft show next Holiday season. We'll see. We have a year to get ready.
Everything looks lovely and I'm glad lots of your beautiful artwork sold. I think the market for your ephemera needs to start noticing what they can get locally from you. They will probably do well next year.
Happy Thanksgiving,

Good news though, for me anyway, they're opening in Australia next year. Hope you got some good deals on Cyber Monday!

What Exactly Is "Full Spectrum Paint"?April 2, 2012
Back in October 2010, I wrote a blog post about full spectrum paints going mainstream upon hearing Benjamin Moore's announcement that they were debuting their own line of "full spectrum paints". Thanks to Ben Moore's major marketing campaign, I finally no longer feel like I am selling the emperor's new clothes. When you Google the term "full spectrum paints", now well over half a million links come up and although I have never advertised in the almost eleven years since I created my line of Full Spectrum Paints, links to my website come up first. For that, I am very grateful.
The only downside to this is that Benjamin Moore is putting out erroneous information in that they are claiming their Color Stories line is full spectrum because they do not use any black or gray pigments in their colors and their colors have a minimum of 5 pigments. The whole term "full spectrum paint" comes from the fact that in order to be a full spectrum paint, full spectrum colors are mixed using an amount of colorant from each hue family in the visible color spectrum, at a minimum. This wouldn't bother me, but because Ben Moore's Color Stories palettes consist of such saturated and vibrant colors, now the term "full spectrum paints" is becoming synonymous with "intense colors", as you can see in the blog post "Can You Handle the Color?"
Now there's certainly nothing wrong with saturated color, and I have enjoyed creating the Magical Gems and Summer Brights Palettes for artist Hunt Slonem, but it's the more subtle, easier to live with colors in our Nature and Ethereal Mists Palettes that are what our Full Spectrum Paints are most known for.
As usual, color expert Lori Sawaya does an outstanding job of explaining exactly what full spectrum paints are in her article "What You Need to Know about Full spectrum Paints", where she also includes this price per square foot infographic:
The great news here is that there is something for everyone when it comes to color and paint!

Dulaney won Round 1 yesterday of what winning coach Ian Blanchard hopes will become an annual match with Severna Park.
The No. 3-ranked Lions from Baltimore County bested the No. 4 ranked Falcons of Anne Arundel County, 3-1, on the latter's home court, with scores of 15-10, 7-15, 15-8 and 15-10 in first regular-season meeting between the two.
"We weren't on our game, but that was largely due to their couple of real tough servers who put us on our heels, and they had a lot of weapons to attack," Severna Park coach Tim Dunbar said. "They forced us to do things we didn't do well."

About Lotus
Most British car manufacturers pride themselves with producing classic cars that exudes elegance and sophistication. The built cars that "only a Queen could ride" and yet had the power and capacity to run 0-100 km in mere seconds. Lotus Cars Limited placed itself in defiance to this norm and designed cars that looked fierce and fast.
As glamorous and fierce as the designs of Lotus Cars, its history is not as pleasant. In 1980, the Group Lotus, where Lotus Cars Limited belonged, suffered a major financial crisis. Their yearly production of almost 1200 units have been slashed by at least ¾ that crippled the company. This was mainly caused by the economic recession which halted most of its American demands.
By the time the company slowly got back to its feet, they decided to re-enter the American market. Through the help of numerous investors and interested persons, Lotus Performance Cars Inc. was born. It is an American company that breathe life to the Group Lotus. The US market quickly responded and returned their demand for Lotus cars like the old days.
If you want a fast and mean looking car, the latest Lotus Elise S is the right one for you. Facing it, you'll see a praying mantis looking to strike you. Its aerodynamic design gives it its sleek look worthy of the praise given by the British Top Gear team.
The Lotus Elise S has a 1.8 litre DOHC 4 cylinder, dual VVT-i, 16 valve with Magnuson R900 supercharger, capable for thrusting the Elise S from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. With a light body, it has no problem reaching its top speed quickly.
For their plans of an electric car range, they intend to boast their engine capabilities. The Range Extender Engine is the perfect fit for their planned electric cars. With their signature low weight car body builds and sharp handling characteristics, this engine will surely bring their concept electric cars to the top of the competition.
The Range Extender Engine is designed to give electric cars the extra oomph in power and speed. It is a 1.2 litre 3 cylinder engine designed to power the car's batteries giving it more power and constant push.
Power and elegance, which is what Lotus Cars are known for. Their cars have proven this through years of Formula One Participation and championship winnings. People who desire to have road legal fast cars should consider purchasing from this sports car manufacturer.

Prepare for a long post. This is Gayle and Ian's gorgeous, totally DIY, eco-friendly (think solar power), barn wedding. In the shadow of Lake Erie sits the family home of Ian's grandparents. To call this a backyard wedding doesn't quite capture the scale. After the story-filled ceremony and tent reception, the entire party caravaned to Ian's Dad's barn, where he and his bluegrass band played a set before passing the entertainment reigns to a dj friend of the couple. Gayle told me at the end of the night, "This is all I wanted – a big dance party." She got her wish and then some.
Paper goods designed by former bride and Gayle's friend, Ariel Rutland
The dress is BHLDN and is totally TDF. Am I right?
Now, I want to share these next two photos, but I must disclaim I didn't take them. Credit belongs to a wedding guest / photographer / random stranger I allowed to take my camera and CLIMB THE BARN structure to gain a bird's eye view of the dance floor. I assisted holding the flash off-camera and trying not to second guess my questionable decision of trusting someone with my very expensive camera. Sometimes you take risks. And Gayle & Ian are risk worthy friends. All turned out well. No one fell and I love what he captured. Plus, I know Gayle & Ian will love that story.
I know you're reading this thinking, pffft, why didn't you climb the rafters? Excellent question. 1.) I'm terrified of heights. Heights and bears. Heights, bears and the return of the mid-drift top. 2.) I'm totes pregnant.
I know, right! More on all that later. Right now I'm busy processing the awesome wedding of Danny and Lynne or Lanny as they are affectionately referred. Stay tuned.

Arsene Wenger today admitted to being "surprised and disappointed" at the decision to overlook David Dein for the post of Football Association chairman.
Dein was the front-runner for the position but the nominations committee headed by Bolton chairman Phil Gartside instead plumped for David Bernstein.
A chartered accountant, Bernstein was Manchester City chairman for five years, including the time they secured the lease for their new stadium at Eastlands, and he has been Wembley chairman since 2008.
He also sits on the boards of several companies including French Connection, Ted Baker and Blacks Leisure, where he has been chairman since 1996. He is also president of the National Association of Disabled Supporters.
But Wenger, who was lured to Arsenal by Dein in 1996 and worked alongside him until 2007 when the Gunners vice-chairman stepped down, believes his former colleague would have been the ideal choice to take the FA forward.
"I was completely surprised and disappointed (by the FA's decision)," said Wenger.
"He would have offered a competent knowledge of football and international football. It is a disappointment."

The Girl of My Dreams
Last night I was travelling the villages of Malaysia's west coast. Admiring the greenery and overflowing bunds of the fields.
Then there was a colonial building beside the road and I went inside. The place was filled with all sorts of knick-knacks to be sold and when I looked up saw that the ceiling was really high with bird nests and sleeping bats and daylight streaming from tiny windows.
I continued walking and the back opened out to the sea. There was a jetty and some people were on it and there she was...jogging. She came past me and smiled. I smiled back out of reaction. She, petite long black frilly haired. Me, kinda sorta feeling light and happy. I said hi, she said hi back, wanna join me? I said ok.
We ran down the length of the jetty, there was this tall white modern hotel with blue glassed windows beside it. The air is really salty now. At the end of the breezy jetty was stairs down. We walked down. The water rather calm and people were swimming in it. Wasn't deep could see the sand. There were fish.
We were sweaty and I mentioned that looks nice to swim in. We took off our clothes and went in. Someone put a portable TV at the edge. Manta rays swam up to watch it. We held hands in the coolness.
That night we had satay lit only by kerosene lamp.
I asked her how she found this place. I couldn't remember what she said.
She asked me how I found this place. I told her a friend wrote about it and the photos looked nice.
She asked me where I got this welt on the arm from. I told her it's from paintball and described how painful it is. But fun! She said she liked blowing hundreds of soap bubbles into the sun.
And we talked and laughed the night away.
I woke up feeling rather sad she's not real.
I must write this down before I forget it all.

Glu Mobile to close 1-2 studios, cut 100 jobs in restructuring
Glu Mobile has announced that it is restructuring, outlining a plan that will result in more than 100 layoffs, and see the closure of its Bellevue studio, and potentially also its studio in Long Beach.
This was revealed in a filing posted on Seeking Alpha, and suggests that the company will be looking to get rid of 107 positions across the company, suggesting that they'll be rehiring in India and San Fransisco to end the year with a similar headcount to the one they had before undertaking the restructuring.
Regardless, Glu are looking to shutter its operations in Bellevue, closing it's office there. The fate of its Long Beach studio will depend on the success of Car Town Racing's beta release, if the launch isn't successful, Long Beach will also be closed, causing an additional 33 employees.
Glu mention in this report that this is "consistent with the actions [it took] during 2016 to streaming its operations" where it refers to the San Mateo and Beijing studios it closed in 2016.
Glu stresses this is "consistent with the actions [taken] during 2016 to streaming its operations", referring to the closure of its Beijing, San Mateo studios that were closed in 2016, as well as the closure of a separate Bellevue location.
These changes will cost Glu around $3.5m before tax if it closes the Bellevue studio, although this will increase to $5.4m if it also closes its Long Beach location.
As part of the company's restructuring process, it'll be handing responsibility for live operations and development on its title Racing Rivals to the mobile studio Carbonated. Glu will continue to fund development of the title, and also pay Carbonated a percentage of the profits based on how well the firm improves revenues on the title.

|Summary, etc.:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Eighty-Dollar Champion, the remarkable story of the heroic rescue of priceless horses in the closing days of World War II In the chaotic last days of the war a small troop of battle-weary American soldiers captures a German spy and makes an astonishing find-his briefcase is empty but for photos of beautiful white horses that have been stolen and kept on a secret farm behind enemy lines. Hitler has stockpiled the world's finest purebreds in order to breed the perfect military machine-an equine master race. But with the starving Russian army closing in, the animals are in imminent danger of being slaughtered for food. With only hours to spare, one of the Army's last great cavalrymen, American colonel Hank Reed, makes a bold decision-with General George Patton's blessing-to mount a covert rescue operation. Racing against time, Reed's small but determined force of soldiers, aided by several turncoat Germans, steals across enemy lines in a last-ditch effort to save the horses. Pulling together this multistranded story, Elizabeth Letts introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters: Alois Podhajsky, director of the famed Spanish Riding School of Vienna, a former Olympic medalist who is forced to flee the bomb-ravaged Austrian capital with his entire stable in tow; Gustav Rau, Hitler's imperious chief of horse breeding, a proponent of eugenics who dreams of genetically engineering the perfect warhorse for Germany; and Tom Stewart, a senator's son who makes a daring moonlight ride on a white stallion to secure the farm's surrender. A compelling account for animal lovers and World War II buffs alike, The Perfect Horse tells for the first time the full story of these events. Elizabeth Letts's exhilarating tale of behind-enemy-lines adventure, courage, and sacrifice brings to life one of the most inspiring chapters in the annals of human valor.Advance praise for The Perfect Horse "Letts, a lifelong equestrienne, eloquently brings together the many facets of this unlikely, poignant story underscoring the love and respect of man for horses. . . . The author's elegant narrative conveys how the love for these amazing creatures transcends national animosities."-Kirkus ReviewsFrom the Hardcover edition.

Maharashtra Minister of State for Agriculture Sadabhau Khot on 1 June expressed confidence that the farmers would not do anything that would result in huge loss to them.
"Vegetables and milk are perishable items. Farmers cannot bear such losses. Farmers spend substantial amount of money and time on producing vegetables. I have full faith in them that they are not going to do anything as such. I am also a son of a farmer," Khot told ANI.
He said that the government is holding talks with the farmers' organisations and a solution would be found very soon.
"The government is working hard to find a solution with the farmers. We will talk with farmers to work out a solution. We are trying to talk to everybody," he added.
Meanwhile, two tankers of milk were spilled on the road in Shirdi as farmers from several districts went on indefinite strike in Maharashtra.
The farmers from several districts of Maharashtra went on strike from 1 June onwards as they are demanding for loan waive off.
The farmers have demanded a loan waiver after being distressed over falling prices of agriculture produce and other related issues.
Due to ongoing strikes, the nearby cities like Mumbai and Pune are going to face the crisis of vegetables, fruits, etc.
Reportedly, on 30 may some of the representatives of a state-level coordination committee of various farmers outfits Kisan Kranti Morcha met state Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his official residence in Mumbai to discuss the issue, but the discussion failed as the farmers refused to postpone their agitation.
According to reports, the farmers from Nashik district will also not supply agricultural produce to Gujarat.

Little Devil Spring issues into an oval-shaped pool that measures 65 ft (19.8m) north to south and 30 ft (9.1 m) east to west. The vent is a limestone fissure in the center of the pool 21 ft (6.5 m) deep. The spring water is clear blue and there is little aquatic vegetation. The spring run is 20 ft (6.1 m) wide and 8 ft (2.4 m) deep with aquatic vegetation on both sides. The run flows northeast 225 ft (68.6 m), passing Devil's Eye and Devil's Ear Springs before entering the Santa Fe River from the south. The spring pool, which is ringed by grass and cypress trees, is used for swimming, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Picnic facilities and a gravel parking lot are adjacent to the spring pool to the west and southwest. The spring is located within Ginnie Springs Outdoors, a private campground and outdoor recreation concession. Discharge on November 4, 1997 measured 2.06 ft3/s.
From High Springs, drive south on U.S. 27/41 about 1.0 mile (1.6 km). Turn west (right) onto State Road 340 (Poe Springs Road) and drive about 6.6 miles (10.6 km) and then turn north (right) onto a graded road at the sign for Ginnie Springs. Follow the road another mile (1.6 km) to the entrance. Little Devil Spring is upstream of Ginnie Spring.

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer Exposes HR McMaster: He Has Not Fired Obama and Ben Rhodes White House Staffers (Video)
For months conservative investigative reporter Mike Cernovich has been reporting that National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster is with the globalists and not with Trump. Cernovich claims McMaster has been secretly working against President Trump's 'America First' plans.
McMaster ousted Trump Advisor Derek Harvey who tried to fire the Obama holdovers. General Michael Flynn's people are getting forced out and replaced with establishment zombies. McMaster is keeping the Obama lackeys on board while purging the office of Trump loyalists.
On Tuesday night Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer told Lou Dobbs that this was exactly the case, that McMaster is holding onto Obama lackeys in the White House.
It is unbelievable!
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: One of the things I heard today was H. R. McMaster has not fired a number of people who worked for Obama. In fact those who worked for some of the staffers, Ben Rhodes for example, well Ben Rhodes has got, his staff is still there. It's like having a rattle snake next to your bed and thinking some how if you're just nice enough to the snake it's going to be nice. It's not like that.

Got a Technicolor Addiction?
After our wildly successful Technicolor series featured a few months back, we thought we'd open it up to our creative readers to see what they thought of going in the direction of a single color with all of their tech.
Personally, my favorite color mix is a stark silver aluminum paired with glossy black. There's a few exceptions in my tech collection - like my A/V receiver perhaps, but that's pretty much it. I need to find me a good open space to put all of these items against a white backdrop one day to take a shot of it like Santos done here beautifully.
Have a Technicolor photo to share? Place it in our awesome Unplggd Flickr group or tag them "Unplggd" and we'll find them!

Presented here are views of Lake Superior ice in four wavelength regions:
The objective is to combine the information content inherent in the different wavelengths to learn more about the ice and surrounding environment. The scenes were acquired within hours of each other on March 11, 1997.
Data Fusion image caption:
The albedo image is based on AVHRR Band 1 (0.58 to 0.68 um), computed using ENVI software. Albedo is defined as the ratio of energy impinging on a surface to the energy reflected from it (at some specified wavelength). Contours are overlain on the image, with image brightness proportional to albedo.
Fresh snow typically has a very high albedo in the visible portion of the spectrum, in the range of 0.90-0.98. Ice typically has lower albedos. The ice here on the north side of the Keweenaw Peninsula has an albedo ranging from 20-50 %, which may seem somewhat low to those familiar with ice. It is particularly low if you consider that in the Great Lakes, snow cover is abundant, and that would tend to elevate the albedo.
The reason the albedo is lower than that expected is because there are leads and thin ice present in the scene at subpixel scales, and their low reflectivity lowers the overall albedo. Inspect the accompanying SAR image. You will detect leads and other low-albedo areas that contribute to the low AVHRR albedo. The difference is a matter of spatial resolution. The SAR pixels are 50 m on a side, while the AVHRR pixels are nominally 1.1 km on a side. AVHRR Band 1 albedo image
AVHRR band 4 (10.3-11.3 um) is sensitive to emitted radiation in the thermal infrared (TIR) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Knowing the emissivity of ice, we can use the TIR Tb to indicate physical (kinetic) temperature. Ice temperature is related to ice thickness, snow cover, melt or flood state and, perhaps, degree of deformation.

|Opening Look (Credit: Vogue.com)
KOREA—The fact that the Pushbutton FW17 show opens and closes with a womanly wasp waist and pants means something: a woman flaunts her curves and wears the pants.
The opening model wears a gray T-shaped dress shirt shaped like a kimono. The shirt's hem tucks into periwinkle blue pants that feature a peplum. The duo of hems creates a wasp waist. The model looks intelligent with her aviator eyeglasses on her way to work to maybe engage in Working Girl officepolitics. Is she the Sigourney Weaver boss or Melanie Griffith ambitious underling?
|Closing Look: (Credit: Vogue.com)
The silhouette appears as sexy and demure in two separate looks. There's the sexy off-the-shoulder coat with boning that gives it the effect of an 18th Century dress. A model wears a Dorothy Gale-worthy sepia gingham cocoon jacket and looks like she should be holding a basket of baguettes. The asymmetrical styling of the gloves gives the outfit a whiff of weird.
The closing look is of a woman wears creased pants and wasp waist like the opening model. Unlike the bespectacled opening model, this woman is dressed like a movie queen incognito trying to avoid the paparazzi. The gym bag and hoodie point to an athletic, street-smart woman. Surprisingly, I thought the hoodie was a hijab from a distance. (A hijab is a head covering worn in public by some Muslim women).
It's time to embrace the wasp waist, and it's never looked fresher than it does at Pushbutton FW17.

About Albion - Why choose Albion?
ALBION (meaning 'old England') turly epitomises traditional manufacturing at its very best!
In 1985 Albion® Saddlemakers was founded. Paul and Sherry Belton combined the perfect balance of tradition, revolutionary design, technology and precision fitting when they applied their own equestrian knowledge and experiences to aspirational and functional saddle making and fitting.
Through constant research and development, with the support of many of the world's leading international riders and trainers, Albion's ultimate goal was to design, manufacture and supply superior competition saddles, bridles and accessories worldwide that maximised horse and rider comfort, minimised interference and enhanced performance.
Chairman of Albion Paul Belton, past president of the Society of Master Saddlers, originally trained in design engineering and carries forward a real passion for technical research and development. This translates perfectly into the design and manufacturing of technical competition saddles. Alongside his engineering background, Paul is an experienced and talented rider who was classically trained by Ernst Bachinger the former Director of Training at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Paul has also competed on the National circuit including Wembley and Hickstead.
Sherry Belton, Managing Director of Albion, has an equally impeccable equestrian history having trained with dressage specialist Franz Rochowansky of the Spanish Riding School and competed successfully in both dressage and eventing. Referred to in the industry as 'Saddle Fitter to the Stars', Sherry has fitted saddles for many Olympians and professional riders worldwide for over 30 years including Ernst Bachinger, the Balkenhol family, the Bechtolsheimer family, Emile Faurie, William Fox-Pitt, Alain François, Sylvia Loch, Hans Peter Minderhoud, Margit Otto-Crépin, Herbert Rehbein, Guenter Seidel, Laura Tomlinson, Thomas Voss and George Williams.
These riders trust Sherry's exceptional saddle fitting experience and Albion's ability to correctly fit and find saddle fitting solutions for their horses.
Today, the family business, passing into the second generation of the Belton family, continues to flourish. This is evidenced by the exciting launch of the new brand extension Albion Couture House and the new division Albion Sporting in 2011. Remaining true to Paul and Sherry's original values and beliefs embedded deep within the company 30 years ago, Albion Saddlemakers continues to lead the way into the future of innovative saddle design, manufacturing and precision saddle fitting as an exclusive British manufacturer.
Internationally renowned brand Albion Saddlemakers is recognised as one of the leading British saddle designers and manufacturers in the world.
Bridle Fitting Instructions
- Make sure the browband is not too tight and is not pulling the headpiece onto the back of the ears. The current trend is for the brow band to be slightly loose.
- The throatlash must not be tight, as it will interfere with breathing and collection. To ensure comfort there should be enough room to place a clenched fist between the side of the horse's cheek and throatlash.
- The buckles of the cheek pieces and noseband should be parallel and slightly below the corner of the eye (to avoid damage in the event of the bridle pulling across the face), and the arms of the cheeks and noseband must lie behind the horse's cheek bones.
- The noseband must lie at least one finger or 1cm below the cheekbones, as this is another pressure point area. If the noseband is placed too high on the face it can cause great pain.
- The buckle of the cavesson noseband must sit comfortably at the back of the jaw, in between the jaw bones, to avoid creating a pressure point.
- The pad on the back of the crank noseband fastening should not connect to the front of the noseband, as this can cause pinching and subsequent sores.

The Auckland True Blood billboard in New Zealand is a huge display of the show's more-than-mature content.
True Blood is notoriously graphic, dirty and thrilling—more so than any other show riding the passing wave of vampire popularity. Branding itself as "Vampires for Grownups," the series prides itself in its sexual nature. Rather than downplaying this potentially controversial and unbecoming trait, True Blood bares all.
Underscoring its hard-hitting sexual nature is definitely the differentiating factor from other popular pieces of entertainment like The Vampire Diaries, Twilight or Underworld. Since there is a negative 'fan-girl' stigma that comes with the Twilight phenomenon, it is not hard to see why the directors take such risque lengths to distance themselves.
The duality of the billboard is perfect in describing True Blood's cornerstone characteristics of both sex and gore.

The generosity of Utahns in both time and money put it on top in two recent studies and led The Washington Post to dub it, "this week's best state in America" Friday.
"A lesson all parents hope to instill in their children: it's better to give than to receive," Washington Post reporter Reid Wilson wrote. "Apparently, people who live in Utah get the message better than the rest of us."
Reid broke down data from a recent Gallup survey showing that 71 percent of Utah residents donated money to a charitable cause in the past month. He also examined a 2012 survey of itemized deductions conducted by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, which showed that the median contribution to a charity from a Utah resident was $5,255.

Well the first test's on 3rdRock Grid were not very promising, the 8x8 Var Bullet Physics Sim was disappointingly SLOW !
Almost a waste of time, and the lack of race track markers resulted in my increasing my viewers draw distance to maximum, further slowing things down. Hopefully I will be able to resolve some of these issues soon.
I do have an ace up my sleeve with an entirely new ubODE Grid devoted to the OSPBA and will be opening it to the public this coming week.
Stay Tuned for further announcements. / LOL

It's not too late to pick up tech gifts from Amazon. It's Last Minute Christmas Deals sale has discounts across smart home, laptops, monitors, speakers and other gadgets.
If it's possible for a planet to achieve celebrity status, Mars seems to have reached that tipping point of late. The Red Planet shared top billing in Matt Damon's 2014 crowd-pleaser "The Martian", the ESA's Mars Express mission is still going strong, and National Geographic Channel's "Mars" miniseries dramatizing the scientific and human impact of future colonizing endeavors debuted at the end of 2016 to positive reviews. Given all of this, "The Space Between Us" would seem poised to make the most of the current interstellar zeitgeist: with DNA borrowed from Robert Heinlein's 1961 novel, "Stranger In a Strange Land", "Space" tells the story of Gardner Elliot (Asa Butterfield, "Ender's Game") who's born on Mars and and as a teenager makes his first foray to Earth.
"Space" touches on the classic storytelling trope of providing fresh views of our own world through the eyes of a stranger, but such moments, while compelling when they occur here, are overshadowed by a teen-angsty storyline seemingly yanked out of the Screenwriting 101 section on "(literally) starcrossed romance". There's also a McGuffin-y mission plotline that sets the young protagonist on the run and clumsily fritters away story momentum. In short, "The Space Between Us" presents an intriguing notion but undercuts it with inconsistent execution.
"Space" is heavy on setup, so the film's first ½ hour dramatizes the circumstances that lead to Gardner's unplanned birth on Mars shortly into a privately-funded colonizing venture. What we need to know: now 16, Gardner is smart (it's pointed out more than once that he was "raised by scientists"), a bit rebellious, and deeply curious about the Earth-born parents that he never knew. He's eager to make the interplanetary journey but the scientists (Gary Oldman, BD Wong) overseeing the colony project are at odds regarding his ability to survive Earth's atmosphere and gravity.
Gardner is motivated by the need to track down his unknown father, and also by the crush he's developed on Tulsa (Britt Robertson, "Tomorrowland"), a teenager on Earth who connects with him via remote chat. When he's finally given the green light to head to Earth he spends a few days moping in quarrantine, then busts out and starts a cross-country journey to connect with Tulsa and enlist her in the quest to find his dad.
Much of "Space" is insistently committed to hitting plot points and shuttling back and forth from the on the-run romance that's developing between eager, quirky Gardner and the tough-talking Tulsa, to their pursuit by reclusive scientist Gary Oldman and Carla Gugino ("Roadies") as the Mars-based researcher who's been a mother figure to Gardner since his infancy. There's a ticking clock in place, of course, as Gardner's Martian physiology is increasingly compromised by earthly forces.
"Space" is sweetly appealing in the moments when it slows down enough to focus on Gardner's discovery of his planet of origin and his first contact with people outside the tight-knit colony where he was raised. He eagerly asks strangers, "What's your favorite thing about Earth?", and if you're in a sentimental mood these moments will have you pondering the vast beauty and myriad experiences that our planet does indeed offer. When Gardner locates Tulsa and presents himself to her in the middle of her school day there's a short sequence where he guilelessly charms fellow students with his curiosity and open acceptance of every circumstance. The film makes the most here of Mr. Butterfield's youthful appeal and gentle comic timing. Equally effective is the moment when we watch the play of emotions on Gardner's face as, from the window of the spacecraft bound for Earth, he catches a glimpse of the planet for the first time.
But the inconsistencies and shortcuts do continue to crop up, and as Gardner and Tulsa's runaway romance blossoms they have a tendency to veer from surprisingly timebound teen-speak (It's doubtful that anyone will still be using the current crop of slang in 2034) to hoary sci-romance cliches ("You made me human.") An attempt to give weight to Gardner's feelings via his fascination with Wim Wenders' gorgeous, transcendent "Wings of Desire" feels manipulative. And without an appropriate buildup, the revelation of Gardner's mysterious parentage proves to be something of a "ho-hum".
Still, "The Space Between Us" looks lovely. If you had been born offplanet with no real knowledge of the earth, the film would serve as an enticing come-hither, peppered as it is with gorgeous, swooping landscape shots, arial views of verdant croplands like layered, multi-hued quilts, dialogue delivered from a stunning perch on the edge of the Grand Canyon, and dramatic scenes staged at a secluded California beachfront house that would move even the most jaded West Coast realtor to moments of pure aesthetic admiration. As seen through Gardner's eye, our home planet is a gorgeous miracle. If you don't mind a helping of drippy teen romance, "The Space Between Us" does provide a few reminders of how lucky we Earthlings really are.

My quick fix for dry winter hands!
Winter has always been my least favourite month - it's too cold and windy for me, I really don't enjoy having to wrap up warm all the time and my skin doesn't seem to be a big fan of winter either. I tend to get very dry and chapped hands which feel horrible and can be quite sore too! I have tried quite a lot of different hand creams and I did come across some really nice ones (Soap&Glory Hand Food for example) but it wasn't until last week when I finally found a real saviour: the Almond Hand&Nail Cream from The Body Shop (£10 for 100ml)! After only using it two or three times, my hands both felt and looked super soft and moisturised, no dry skin in sight anywhere! The cream itself feels quite light and sinks in very quickly without leaving a greasy and sticky feeling behind, and it also smells incredibly good: sweet and almondy but not too overpowering. All in all, I am super happy with this hand cream and I will definitely keep it in my handbag during the cold months! xx

Published December 22, 2015
Rick Santorum has some advice for Tony Raines, the NASCAR driver behind the wheel of the car Santorum is sponsoring in Sunday's Daytona 500: take great advantage of the late pole position.
"I talked to him about a strategy. I recommended he stay back in the pack, you know, hang back there until the right time, and then bolt to the front when it really counts. So let's watch. I'm hoping that for the first, you know, maybe 300, 400 miles, he's sitting way, way back, letting all the other folks crash and burn, and then sneak up at the end and win this thing," Santorum told ABC's "This Week."
Santorum is sponsoring the Front Row Motorsports' No. 26 Ford Fusion after Raines qualified late in the field last Sunday in what the Santorum campaign called "the feel-good, underdog story of the day." Raines is in row 21 of 22 in Sunday's race.
"I like how Tony Raines turned some heads last weekend with his qualifying run and we'd like to keep turning heads too. I think we're both looking for a win in the end," Santorum said.
In a release sent out by the Santorum campaign, team owner Bob Jenkins said millions of eyes will be on the cars and it's a good way to get Santorum's message out.
"It's a pretty tight battle for the Republican nomination right now, and the former senator is right in the thick of it. We hope we're in the thick of it come Sunday out on the racetrack, too," Jenkins said.
Santorum's campaign message will be on the hood and quarter panels of Raines' car but he's probably hoping for better success than Raines' last outing -- Raines placed 38th in August's Pure Michigan 400. With Michigan's primary vote on Tuesday, Santorum may also want this race to get going -- heavy rains delayed the green flag on Sunday.

Reviews | Written by Ed Fortune 27/10/2014
There has been a growing trend in comic books that also double as movie pitches. Typically these are simple affairs with one or two concepts woven into the story and some of the characters drawn to resemble potential actors. It is rare that you want them to be made into a movie however. Scott Snyder's The Wake is not such a movie pitch, but it's cinematic pacing, engaging art and clever plot demands that a wider audience see it, and we expect the adaptation to end up in movie development hell sometime soon.
The plot is fairly complex. For a start, it's told across three time zones; the pre-historic age, the present and the far future. The main, modern day story centres on marine biologist Dr. Lee Archer. She's recruited by the American government to investigate a strange thing they found at the bottom of the ocean; a sentient, man/fish hybrid-like creature that they refer to as the Mer. Turns out these beings are pretty strong and have hallucinogenic venom. We also discover that the USA has been naughtily stealing oil from the Artic via a secret underground rig and Dr Lee and a team of misfits find themselves trapped inside this top-secret installation, surrounded by hostiles.
Meanwhile, in the future, a young woman and her cybernetic dolphin struggle to survive in a world that is mostly underwater. She is desperately seeking an edge, a secret, something that could help mankind survive the post-flood world. Snyder skilfully blends these strands together, and isn't afraid to shock the reader throughout. The Wake is (appropriately for a story set in the ocean) very, very deep and filled with multiple layers. It isn't quite as deep as the likes of The Watchmen, but it does get pretty close on occasion. The third strand, the pre-historic plot, is something that needs to be read, to be understood.
Sean Murphy's art is quite frankly, amazing. It sells this deep and complex narrative extremely well and presents every scene in a breath-taking and cinematic way. Unsurprisingly, Murphy won an Eisner award for it, and you can see why. Gorgeous stuff, even when it is being gory and shocking.The Wake is a long and complicated book, starting out as a science-fiction thriller and then radically morphing into a solid post-apocalyptic adventure. Added to this mix is an interesting take on the alien conspiracy story. If you can only have one graphic novel this year, and you want it all, then you should pick this one.

The export of the Harborplace concept as a model for revitalizing depressed port cities around the world is about to face its toughest challenge yet -- in strife-torn Belfast.
The Enterprise Development Co. of Columbia is set to develop a 14-acre site on the banks of the River Lagan in the Northern Ireland capital, which was recently described by a Northern Irish politician as "the killing fields of Europe."
The company is wholly owned by The Enterprise Foundation, which Harborplace developer Jim Rouse founded in 1981 after retiring from day-to-day management of the Rouse Co. All profits from the Columbia company's development operations are funneled back to the foundation to develop low-income housing.

Visiting the killing fields about a half hour outside the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh triggered strong emotions - anger, confusion, nausea - in the Rev. Ray Davis.
His sightseeing included many horrific images, including former school rooms converted to torture chambers by the Khmer Rouge, a mass grave of massacred children and a towering monument filled with human skulls, Davis said.
Seeing those things was necessary, however, if he was to understand the psyche of the Cambodian people, said the Hagerstown resident, who traveled to the communist Asian country on a missionary trip last month.

á191ñIDENTIFICATION TESTSGENERAL
Under this heading are placed tests that are frequently referred to in the Pharmacopeia for the identification of official articles.[NOTEThe tests are not intended to be applicable to mixtures of substances unless so specified.]
Acetate When acetic acid or an acetate is warmed with sulfuric acid and alcohol,ethyl acetate,recognizable by its characteristic odor,is evolved.With neutral solutions of acetates,ferric chloride TSproduces a deep red color that is destroyed by the addition of mineral acids.
Aluminum With 6Nammonium hydroxide,solutions of aluminum salts yield a gelatinous,white precipitate that is insoluble in an excess of 6Nammonium hydroxide.1Nsodium hydroxide or sodium sulfide TSproduces the same precipitate,which dissolves in an excess of either of these reagents.
Ammonium Ammonium salts are decomposed by the addition of an excess of 1Nsodium hydroxide,with the evolution of ammonia,recognizable by its odor and by its alkaline effect upon moistened red litmus paper exposed to the vapor.Warming the solution accelerates the decomposition.
Antimony With hydrogen sulfide,solutions of antimony (III)compounds,strongly acidified with hydrochloric acid,yield an orange precipitate of antimony sulfide that is insoluble in 6Nammonium hydroxide,but is soluble in ammonium sulfide TS.
Barium Solutions of barium salts yield a white precipitate with 2Nsulfuric acid.This precipitate is insoluble in hydrochloric acid and in nitric acid.Barium salts impart a yellowish-green color to a nonluminous flame that appears blue when viewed through green glass.
Benzoate In neutral solutions,benzoates yield a salmon-colored precipitate with ferric chloride TS.In moderately concentrated solutions,benzoates yield a precipitate of benzoic acid upon acidification with 2Nsulfuric acid.This precipitate is readily soluble in ethyl ether.
Bicarbonate See Carbonate.
Bismuth When dissolved in a slight excess of nitric acid or hydrochloric acid,bismuth salts yield a white precipitate upon dilution with water.This precipitate is colored brown by hydrogen sulfide,and the resulting compound dissolves in a warm mixture of equal parts of nitric acid and water.
Bisulfite See Sulfite.
Borate To 1mLof a borate solution,acidified with hydrochloric acid to litmus,add 3or 4drops of iodine TSand 3or 4drops of polyvinyl alcohol solution (1in 50):an intense blue color is produced.When a borate is treated with sulfuric acid,methanol is added,and the mixture is ignited,it burns with a green-bordered flame.
Bromide Solutions of bromides,upon the addition of chlorine TS,dropwise,liberate bromine,which is dissolved by shaking with chloroform,coloring the chloroform red to reddish brown.Silver nitrate TSproduces in solutions of bromides a yellowishwhite precipitate that is insoluble in nitric acid and is slightly soluble in 6Nammonium hydroxide.
Calcium Solutions of calcium salts form insoluble oxalates when treated as follows.To a solution of the calcium salt (1in 20)add 2drops of methyl red TS,and neutralize with 6Nammonium hydroxide.Add 3Nhydrochloric acid,dropwise,until the solution is acid to the indicator.Upon the addition of ammonium oxalate TS,a white precipitate is formed.This precipitate is insoluble in 6Nacetic acid but dissolves in hydrochloric acid.Calcium salts moistened with hydrochloric acid impart a transient yellowish-red color to a nonluminous flame.
Carbonate Carbonates and bicarbonates effervesce with acids,evolving a colorless gas that,when passed into calcium hydroxide TS,produces a white precipitate immediately.Acold solution (1in 20)of a soluble carbonate is colored red by phenolphthalein TS,while a similar solution of a bicarbonate remains unchanged or is only slightly colored.
Chlorate Solutions of chlorates yield no precipitate with silver nitrate TS.The addition of sulfurous acid to this mixture produces a white precipitate that is insoluble in nitric acid,but is soluble in 6Nammonium hydroxide.Upon ignition,chlorates yield chlorides,recognizable by appropriate tests.When sulfuric acid is added to a dry chlorate,decrepitation occurs,and a greenish yellow-gas is evolved.[CautionUse only a small amount of chlorate for this test,and exercise extreme caution in performing it. ]
Chloride With silver nitrate TS,solutions of chlorides yield a white,curdy precipitate that is insoluble in nitric acid but is soluble in a slight excess of 6Nammonium hydroxide.When testing amine (including alkaloidal)hydrochlorides that do not respond to the above test,add one drop of diluted nitric acid and 0.5mLof silver nitrate TSto a solution of the substance being examined containing,unless otherwise directed in the monograph,about 2mg of chloride ion in 2mL:a white,curdy precipitate is formed.Centrifuge the mixture without delay,and decant the supernatant layer.Wash the precipitate with three 1-mLportions of nitric acid solution (1in 100),and discard the washings.Add ammonia TSdropwise to this precipitate.It dissolves readily.When a monograph specifies that an article responds to the test for dry chlorides,mix the solid to be tested with an equal weight of manganese dioxide,moisten with sulfuric acid,and gently heat the mixture:chlorine,which is recognizable by the production of a blue color with moistened starch iodide paper,is evolved.
Citrate To 15mLof pyridine add a few mg of a citrate salt,dissolved or suspended in 1mLof water,and shake.To this mixture add 5mLof acetic anhydride,and shake:a light red color is produced.
Cobalt Solutions of cobalt salts (1in 20)in 3Nhydrochloric acid yield a red precipitate when heated on a steam bath with an equal volume of a hot,freshly prepared solution of 1-nitroso-2-naphthol (1in 10)in 9Nacetic acid.Solutions of cobalt salts,when saturated with potassium chloride and treated with potassium nitrite and acetic acid,yield a yellow precipitate.
Copper Solutions of cupric compounds,acidified with hydrochloric acid,deposit a red film of metallic copper upon a bright,untarnished surface of metallic iron.An excess of 6Nammonium hydroxide,added to a solution of a cupric salt,produces first a bluish precipitate and then a deep blue-colored solution.With potassium ferrocyanide TS,solutions of cupric salts yield a reddish-brown precipitate,insoluble in diluted acids.
Hypophosphite When strongly heated,hypophosphites evolve spontaneously flammable phosphine.Hypophosphites in solution yield a white precipitate with mercuric chloride TS.This precipitate becomes gray when an excess of hypophosphite is present.Solutions of hypophosphites,acidified with sulfuric acid,and warmed with cupric sulfate TSyield a red precipitate.
Iodide Solutions of iodides,upon the addition of chlorine TS,dropwise,liberate iodine,which colors the solution yellow to red.When the solution is shaken with chloroform,the latter is colored violet.The iodine thus liberated gives a blue color with starch TS.Silver nitrate TSproduces,in solutions of iodides,a yellow,curdy precipitate that is insoluble in nitric acid and in 6Nammonium hydroxide.
Iron Ferrous and ferric compounds in solution yield a black precipitate with ammonium sulfide TS.This precipitate is dissolved by cold 3Nhydrochloric acid with the evolution of hydrogen sulfide.
Ferric Salts Acid solutions of ferric salts yield a dark blue precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide TS.With an excess of 1Nsodium hydroxide,a reddish-brown precipitate is formed.With ammonium thiocyanate TS,solutions of ferric salts produce a deep red color that is not destroyed by dilute mineral acids.
Ferrous Salts Solutions of ferrous salts yield a dark blue precipitate with potassium ferricyanide TS.This precipitate is insoluble in 3Nhydrochloric acid but is decomposed by 1Nsodium hydroxide.With 1Nsodium hydroxide,solutions of ferrous salts yield a greenishwhite precipitate,the color rapidly changing to green and then to brown when shaken.
Lactate When solutions of lactates are acidified with sulfuric acid,potassium permanganate TSis added,and the mixture is heated,acetaldehyde is evolved.This can be detected by allowing the vapor to come into contact with a filter paper that has been moistened with a freshly prepared mixture of equal volumes of 20%aqueous morpholine and sodium nitroferricyanide TS:a blue color is produced.
Lead With 2Nsulfuric acid,solutions of lead salts yield a white precipitate that is insoluble in 3Nhydrochloric or 2Nnitric acid,but is soluble in warm 1Nsodium hydroxide and in ammonium acetate TS.With potassium chromate TS,solutions of lead salts,free or nearly free from mineral acids,yield a yellow precipitate that is insoluble in 6Nacetic acid but is soluble in 1Nsodium hydroxide.
Lithium With sodium carbonate TS,moderately concentrated solutions of lithium salts,made alkaline with sodium hydroxide,yield a white precipitate on boiling.The precipitate is soluble in ammonium chloride TS.Lithium salts moistened with hydrochloric acid impart an intense crimson color to a nonluminous flame.Solutions of lithium salts are not precipitated by 2Nsulfuric acid or soluble sulfates (distinction from strontium).
Magnesium Solutions of magnesium salts in the presence of ammonium chloride yield no more than a slightly hazy precipitate when neutralized with ammonium carbonate TS,but on the subsequent addition of dibasic sodium phosphate TS,a white,crystalline precipitate,which is insoluble in 6Nammonium hydroxide,is formed.
Manganese With ammonium sulfide TS,solutions of manganous salts yield a salmon-colored precipitate that dissolves in acetic acid.
Mercury When applied to bright copper foil,solutions of mercury salts,free from an excess of nitric acid,yield a deposit that upon rubbing,becomes bright and silvery in appearance.With hydrogen sulfide,solutions of mercury compounds yield a black precipitate that is insoluble in ammonium sulfide TSand in boiling 2Nnitric acid.
Mercuric Salts Solutions of mercuric salts yield a yellow precipitate with 1Nsodium hydroxide.They yield also,in neutral solutions with potassium iodide TS,a scarlet precipitate that is very soluble in an excess of the reagent.
Mercurous Salts Mercurous compounds are decomposed by 1Nsodium hydroxide,producing a black color.With hydrochloric acid,solutions of mercurous salts yield a white precipitate that is blackened by 6Nammonium hydroxide.With potassium iodide TS,a yellow precipitate,that may become green upon standing,is formed.
Nitrate When a solution of a nitrate is mixed with an equal volume of sulfuric acid,the mixture is cooled,and a solution of ferrous sulfate is superimposed,a brown color is produced at the junction of the two liquids.When a nitrate is heated with sulfuric acid and metallic copper,brownish-red fumes are evolved.Nitrates do not decolorize acidified potassium permanganate TS(distinction from nitrites).
Nitrite When treated with dilute mineral acids or with 6Nacetic acid,nitrites evolve brownishred fumes.The solution colors starch-iodide paper blue.
Oxalate Neutral and alkaline solutions of oxalates yield a white precipitate with calcium chloride TS.This precipitate is insoluble in 6Nacetic acid but is dissolved by hydrochloric acid.Hot acidified solutions of oxalates decolorize potassium permanganate TS.
Permanganate Solutions of permanganates acidified with sulfuric acid are decolorized by hydrogen peroxide TSand by sodium bisulfite TS,in the cold,and by oxalic acid TS,in hot solution.
Peroxide Solutions of peroxides slightly acidified with sulfuric acid yield a deep blue color upon the addition of potassium dichromate TS.On shaking the mixture with an equal volume of ethyl ether and allowing the liquids to separate,the blue color is found in the ethyl ether layer.
Phosphate [NOTEWhere the monograph specifies the identification test for Phosphate,use the tests for orthophosphates,unless the instructions specify the use of the pyrophosphate tests or indicate that the product is to be ignited before performing the test.]With silver nitrate TS,neutral solutions of orthophosphates yield a yellow precipitate that is soluble in 2Nnitric acid and in 6Nammonium hydroxide.With ammonium molybdate TS,acidified solutions of orthophosphates yield a yellow precipitate that is soluble in 6Nammonium hydroxide.This precipitate may be slow to form.With silver nitrate TS,pyrophosphates obtained by ignition yield a white precipitate that is soluble in 2Nnitric acid and in 6Nammonium hydroxide.With ammonium molybdate TS,a yellow precipitate that is soluble in 6Nammonium hydroxide is formed.
Potassium Potassium compounds impart a violet color to a nonluminous flame,but the presence of small quantities of sodium masks the color unless the yellow color produced by sodium is screened out by viewing through a blue filter that blocks emission at 589nm (sodium)but is transparent to emission at 404nm (potassium).Traditionally,cobalt glass has been used,but other suitable filters are commercially available.In neutral,concentrated or moderately concentrated solutions of potassium salts (depending upon the solubility and the potassium content),sodium bitartrate TSproduces a white crystalline precipitate that is soluble in 6Nammonium hydroxide and in solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates.The formation of the precipitate,which is usually slow,is accelerated by stirring or rubbing the inside of the test tube with a glass rod.The addition of a small amount of glacial acetic acid or alcohol also promotes the precipitation.
Salicylate In moderately dilute solutions of salicylates,ferric chloride TSproduces a violet color.The addition of acids to moderately concentrated solutions of salicylates produces a white,crystalline precipitate of salicylic acid that melts between 158and 161.
Silver With hydrochloric acid,solutions of silver salts yield a white,curdy precipitate that is insoluble in nitric acid,but is readily soluble in 6Nammonium hydroxide.Asolution of a silver salt to which 6Nammonium hydroxide and a small quantity of formaldehyde TSare added deposits,upon warming,a mirror of metallic silver upon the sides of the container.
Sodium Unless otherwise specified in an individual monograph,prepare a solution to contain 0.1g of the sodium compound in 2mLof water.Add 2mLof 15%potassium carbonate,and heat to boiling.No precipitate is formed.Add 4mLof potassium pyroantimonate TS,and heat to boiling.Allow to cool in ice water and,if necessary,rub the inside of the test tube with a glass rod.Adense precipitate is formed.Sodium compounds impart an intense yellow color to a nonluminous flame.
Sulfate With barium chloride TS,solutions of sulfates yield a white precipitate that is insoluble in hydrochloric acid and in nitric acid.With lead acetate TS,neutral solutions of sulfates yield a white precipitate that is soluble in ammonium acetate TS.Hydrochloric acid produces no precipitate when added to solutions of sulfates (distinction from thiosulfates).
Sulfite When treated with 3Nhydrochloric acid,sulfites and bisulfites yield sulfur dioxide,which blackens filter paper moistened with mercurous nitrate TS.
Tartrate Dissolve a few mg of a tartrate salt in 2drops of sodium metaperiodate solution (1in 20).Add a drop of 1Nsulfuric acid,and after 5minutes add a few drops of sulfurous acid followed by a few drops of fuchsinsulfurous acid TS:a reddish-pink color is produced within 15minutes.
Thiocyanate With ferric chloride TS,solutions of thiocyanates yield a red color that is not destroyed by moderately concentrated mineral acids.
Thiosulfate With hydrochloric acid,solutions of thiosulfates yield a white precipitate that soon turns yellow,and sulfur dioxide,which blackens filter paper moistened with mercurous nitrate TS.The addition of ferric chloride TSto solutions of thiosulfates produces a dark violet color that quickly disappears.
Zinc In the presence of sodium acetate,solutions of zinc salts yield a white precipitate with hydrogen sulfide.This precipitate is insoluble in acetic acid,but is dissolved by 3Nhydrochloric acid.Ammonium sulfide TSproduces a similar precipitate in neutral and in alkaline solutions.With potassium ferrocyanide TS,zinc salts in solution yield a white precipitate that is insoluble in 3Nhydrochloric acid.

PARIS — The French Assembly, where Socialists have an absolute majority thanks to the old election law of one representative per district, has just changed the rules. Legislative elections due next spring will be by proportional representation in each of the 95 districts.
This will bring a profound change in the French political scene, not easily foreseeable. It has been called Fifth-bis, because it still will be the Fifth Republic established by the late Charles de Gaulle but it won't be at all the same. Governments will have to be built on coalitions. The multiplicity of parties and their maneuvers, which sank the Fourth Republic, will be crucial again.

I can completely relate to this! I wrote in my introductory blog that I was starting a new project that I was really excited about. This was March 23rd. I'm already out of steam and I want to start writing something else but this has happened far too many times now!ReplyDelete
I'm enjoying your blog by the way!
Sometimes you just have to push passed those feelings. What you are writing is a first draft - not the masterpiece. The first draft is often filled with 'undesirables', but the key is to get the story down. Then, when you get to chapter twenty-five, you go back and slash and burn the not-so-great in chapter two. Hope that helps.ReplyDelete
Ugh. I SO know how this goes. AND IT SUCKS!!! I go through these phases when I kind of want to flush my story down the toilet--lap top and all--just because I think IT SUCKS SO BAD!!ReplyDelete
Usually after a little while, the I-hate-my-story-so-bad-I-want-to-puke-on-it feeling passes and I end up realizing that DUH! Its not so bad after all! I think we just pop in and out of the low spots as writers, and the important thing is to just keep pushing through it all.
Keep truckin' through it, girly!!!

Juicy Lucy formed in 1969 from the ashes of cult-favorite garage band the Misunderstood, reuniting vocalist Ray Owen, steel guitarist Glenn "Ross" Campbell, and keyboardist Chris Mercer; with the additions of guitarist Neil Hubbard, bassist Keith Ellis, and drummer Pete Dobson, the group immediately notched a U.K. Top 20 hit with their reading of the Bo Diddley perennial "Who Do You Love," with their self-titled debut LP falling just shy of the Top 40. Ex-Zoot Money singer Paul Williams, guitarist Mick Moody, and drummer Rod Coombes replaced Owen (who exited for a solo career), Hubbard, and Dobson for 1970's Lie Back and Enjoy It, with bassist Jim Leverton assuming Ellis' duties for the follow-up, 1971's Get a Whiff a This. The constant turnover clearly took its toll on the group both creatively and commercially, with co-founders Campbell and Mercer both exiting prior to the fourth Juicy Lucy album, 1972's Pieces, which was recorded by a makeshift lineup of Williams, Moody, keyboardist Jean Roussel, and the former Blodwyn Pig rhythm section of bassist Andy Pyle and drummer Ron Berg. Juicy Lucy finally disbanded shortly thereafter. Ray Owen revived the name in 1995 for the album Here She Comes Again which found Mike Jarvis (guitar), Andy Doughty (bass), and Spencer Blackledge (drums) rounding out the band. A couple of years later, this version of the band broke up, but Owen wanted to keep on going, especially when he formed a musical partnership with a guitarist known as Mr. Fish. Legal problems kept the new band from using the Juicy Lucy name so they gigged as Ray Owen's Moon. By 2004, bassist Fudge and drummer Fletch had joined the band and the legal issue was settled. The new Juicy Lucy spent 2006 working on a new album and touring the U.K. with Nazareth.

The blog Ottawhatwhat?! is arguably the Re-post king of the local blogosphere. The site's motto is "Rebloggin' Ottawa stuffs", and true to its name it shares links to numerous local blogs, as well as some sites from beyond the National Capital Region.
If you are looking to expand your list of Ottawa bloggers this is an excellent place to go. You can think of this site as equivalent to a news wire service for the local blogosphere, which reposts content from a wide range of blogs that many area residents would otherwise not hear of.
To my pleasant surprise, this blogging "wire service" allowed me to discover numerous photo-blogs, quirky sites off the beaten path, and other interesting blogs hidden in cyberspace. As a result, I was able to add many new sites to the blogroll to the right. In fact, thanks to the high-number of photo-blogs that are featured on Ottawawhatwhat?!, I now have enough material to write an additional post on local photographers that I plan to post in the near future, which will accompany the previous three summary posts that I have written on local photo-blogs (see here, here and here).

Oklahoma sports agent gets prison for misusing charity funds
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma sports marketing agent has been sentenced to prison and ordered to pay nearly $698,000 in restitution for misusing charity funds.
Bill Horn, 59, was sentenced to 15 months behind bars Thursday after pleading guilty to two felony tax charges in September, The Oklahoman reported. He admitted to lying on annual foundation forms sent to the IRS.
Horn is scheduled to begin his sentence in February.
Horn founded a charity in 2006 for his client, Tommie Harris, a former defensive tackle at the University of Oklahoma who also played for the Chicago Bears.
Prosecutors alleged Horn helped The Tommie Harris Foundation raise more than $1.8 million over six years, but used the charity's money and credit cards for personal purposes.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles W. Brown said the funds were used for entertainment, dining, a vacation home in California, travel and lease payments on a Mercedes. He said an investigation determined that only about $200,000 were used for legitimate organizations.
Horn's restitution is to be paid to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, because the foundation he created no longer exists. Harris shuttered the charity after his wife died in 2012.
Horn apologized at the sentencing and said he made a grave mistake.

Work Step by Step
We are given that $3(x-2)+5x=6x-16$. In order to solve for x, we must first simplify the left side using the distributive property. $3x-6+5x=6x-16$ Group like terms on the left side. $8x-6=6x-16$ Add 16 to both sides. $8x+10=6x$ Subtract 8x from both sides. $10=-2x$ Divide both sides by -2. $x=-5$
