Clinton Vows To Keep Fighting
"It's a new day, it's a new state, it's a new election," Clinton told reporters in West Virginia on Wednesday.
Clinton said that she was the strongest candidate to go up against presumptive Republican nominee John McCain and vowed to fight on.
"I'm staying in this race until we have a nominee," Clinton said. "I obviously am going to work as hard as I can to become that nominee."
Obama beat Clinton soundly in North Carolina and fell just short in an Indiana cliffhanger, a rebound for the Illinois senator that presented Clinton with fast-dwindling chances to deny him the Democratic presidential nomination.
CBS News has learned several top advisers are suggesting to Hillary Clinton that she stay in the race through West Virginia, Kentucky and Oregon and then bow out in two weeks, reports CBS News chief White House correspondent Jim Axelrod.
One Clinton loyalist told CBS News senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield, "I can't see the math that gets her to the nomination-neither can anyone else."
Putting her money troubles into clearer focus, Clinton's campaign said Wednesday that she lent her campaign $6.4 million over the past month. Earlier this year, she gave her campaign $5 million.
But even as she sought to rejuvenate her campaign, Clinton suffered the loss of a high-profile backer - former Sen. George McGovern - who switched his support to Obama and urged the New York senator to drop out of the race for the good of the party.
Obama spent Wednesday off the campaign trail at home in Chicago, but expected to travel later in the week to Oregon, where he appears to hold the advantage, and then head to the Appalachian coal-states of West Virginia and Kentucky, where Clinton seems to have the edge.
Reluctant to give John McCain a free pass until the Democratic nomination is settled, Obama is considering adding general election swing states to his schedule, his campaign strategist, David Axelrod, said.
Clinton showed no public signs of easing her pace. The campaign added a noon Wednesday appearance in Shepherdstown, W. Va., to her schedule. On Thursday, she planned to campaign in West Virginia, South Dakota and Oregon.
Clinton backers appeared on early morning television programs to stress that she was still in the race and to urge party leaders and elected officials known as superdelegates not to flee to Obama.
"This candidacy and this campaign continues on," Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson said Wednesday on CNN.
According to the latest CBS News count, Obama has secured 1,844 of the 2,025 delegates needed to clinch the nomination, his campaign finally steadying after missteps fiercely exploited by the never-say-die Clinton.
His campaign dropped broad hints it was time for the 270 remaining unaligned superdelegates to get off the fence and settle the nomination.
In a counter to Wolfson, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs said: "The delegate math gets exceptionally harder for Senator Clinton every day"
In a memorandum to superdelegates, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe reminded them of the delegate math necessary to secure the nomination. He said Clinton would need to win 68 percent of the remaining delegates to win - an extremely unlikely scenario, made harder by her poor performance Tuesday.
"With the Clinton path to the nomination getting even narrower, we expect new and wildly creative scenarios to emerge in the coming days," Plouffe wrote. "While those scenarios may be entertaining, they are not legitimate and will not be considered legitimate by this campaign or millions of supporters, volunteers and donors."
It was in the superdelegate arena - even more than in the scattered primaries left - that the Democratic hyperdrama was bound to play out.
Clinton vowed to compete tenaciously for West Virginia next week and Kentucky and Oregon after that, and to press "full speed on to the White House."
But she risked running on fumes without an infusion of cash, and made a direct fundraising pitch from the stage in Indianapolis. "I need your help to continue our journey," she said.
And she pledged anew that she would support the Democratic nominee "no matter what happens," a vow also made by her competitor.
But her campaign schedule belied any immediate reconciliation. West Virginia holds its primary on Tuesday. Kentucky and Oregon hold their contests a week a later. Puerto Rico is scheduled for June 1 followed promptly by Montana and South Dakota on June 3.
Her campaign is making the case that those contests are crucial to her and will press Democratic party officials to resolve disputed contests in Michigan and Florida, which she won but whose results the party voided because the primaries were held ahead of the schedule set by Democratic Party rules.
Obama, addressing supporters in North Carolina Tuesday night, pivoted away from his contest with Clinton and made a general election appeal that singled out his biography and his call for a new brand of politics. Still, his message also had a partisan pitch.
"This primary season may not be over, but when it is, we will have to remember who we are as Democrats ... because we all agree that at this defining moment in history - a moment when we're facing two wars, an economy in turmoil, a planet in peril - we can't afford to give John McCain the chance to serve out George Bush's third term," he said.
McCain has been running a general election campaign for weeks. He has reached out to independent voters and sought to secure his conservative base, as he did Tuesday with a speech on his vision of the judiciary. He was scheduled to deliver a speech Wednesday on curbing the international exploitation of children.
The Obama-Clinton contest has been polarizing, protracted and often bitter, hardening divisions in the party, according to exit polls from the two states.
A solid majority of each candidate's supporters said they would not be satisfied if the other candidate wins the nomination.
Fully one-third of Clinton's supporters in Indiana and North Carolina went beyond mere dissatisfaction to say they would vote for McCain instead of Obama if that's the choice in the fall.
Obama scored a convincing victory of about 14 points in North Carolina, where he'd been favored. Clinton squeezed out a narrow margin in Indiana after a long night of counting.
Racial divisions were stark.
In both states, Clinton won six in 10 white votes while Obama got nine in 10 black votes, exit polls indicated.
It was a slightly better performance than usual by Clinton among whites, while Obama's backing from blacks was one of his highest winning percentages yet with that group.
Clinton fell short of the Indiana blowout and the North Carolina upset that might have jarred superdelegates into her camp in a big way.
They have continued trickling toward Obama despite the fallout over his former pastor's racially divisive remarks and Clinton's win in Pennsylvania two weeks ago.
The impact of a long-running controversy over the Illinois senator's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, was difficult to measure.
In North Carolina, six in 10 voters who said Wright's remarks affected their votes sided with Clinton. A somewhat larger percentage of voters who said the pastor's remarks did not matter supported Obama.
Obama and Clinton both planned to campaign in the next primary states starting Thursday, after a day in Washington. Obama headed to Chicago after his Raleigh speech before coming to the capital.

New, unofficial MuraCMS channel (chatroom) on IRC Freenode
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) has been around for a LOOONG time. I have fond memories of logging into IRC (for embarrassing amounts of time) when I first logged onto the internet in 1995. I have been using IRC ever since.
The are many server choices on IRC, but the one I keep finding myself coming back to is Freenode.
"freenode provides discussion facilities for the Free and Open Source Software communities, for not-for-profit organizations and for related communities and organizations."
Seems like a perfect place for a Mura channel.

Sigourney Weaver Accepts Donostia Award, Talks Hillary Clinton & 'Alien'!
Sigourney Weaver is all smiles as she hits the stage to accept the Donostia Award held during the 2016 San Sebastian International Film Festival at the Kursaal Palace on Wednesday (September 21) in San Sebastian, Spain.
The 66-year-old actress received the lifetime achievement honor after walking the red carpet for the Spanish premiere of her latest film A Monster Calls with director J.A. Bayona.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Sigourney Weaver
"It's exciting in the U.S. now that it looks like we are finally going to have a woman president," Sigourney expressed during a press conference that morning (via Variety). "It's overdue. I think a lot of the progress we made is now coming to fruition. We have women in all walks of life, armed services and other jobs. I don't think I've ever had more work. Men have more roles, but I don't think they have better roles. I don't envy Russell Crowe. Great stories have great women's parts. I'm often asked to play roles that traditionally would have gone to men. I think it's a good time for women."
"He has got work to do, and I have things going on. I hope we do get to do it," Sigourney added about Neill Blomkamp's Alien sequel. "It's one of those things we wanted to do this past year, but I think Ridley [Scott] didn't want them all coming out at the same time."

One recipe from the Vancouver Sun is a quinoa dish that can be either a main or side dish. Another recipe calls for preparing salsa to serve with pistachio-crusted tuna. The Vancouver Sun publishes a wide variety of recipes.
For the quinoa recipe, rinse 1 cup quinoa under cold water, then drain. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat, and add 1 chopped onion and 1 diced carrot. Cover the pan, and cook until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the rinsed quinoa, and add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth. Season with salt, and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Allow to stand for five minutes, then drain excess liquid. Flavor the quinoa with 2 tablespoons chopped mint.
For the tuna recipe, prepare the salsa by blending 1 diced mini cucumber, 1 diced papaya, 1 diced mango, 2 chopped red chilies and 1 chopped red onion. Add 1/3 ounce grated ginger, the grated zest and juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Season with 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and black pepper.
Cut 2 1/4 pounds tuna loin into steaks, and brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and sear the steaks in a cast iron pan over high heat. Brush Dijon mustard over the steaks, and roll in a mix of pistachio pieces and lemon zest. Roast for six minutes, and serve with the salsa.

Rise of the Tomb Raider Review
It took almost a full month into the year, but we finally have the first review of 2016 for a newly released game. In this case it is just newly released to PC, as the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions both released a few months ago, but why split hairs?
Rise of the Tomb Raider is the sequel to the 2013 Tomb Raider game that rebooted the franchise. That game was my first experience with any Tomb Raider title, and this marks the second. Both are third-person, action, adventure games that pit you, as Lara Croft, against both human and more mysterious forces. In this adventure, you are seeking proof for theories your father believed in right up to his death, despite the attacks against his credibility. Lord Croft was investigating a prophet who had apparently achieved immortality, and your father's hope was to bring that secret to the world.
Rise of the Tomb Raider has an M rating from the ESRB for blood and gore, intense violence, and strong language. Considering you do fire arrows through enemy heads, burn enemies alive, and have a fair number of your own deaths, the game has definitely earned the rating. Because the media I have captured certainly contains some of this content, this review may be inappropriate for some of you.
Speaking of the captured media, I had difficulties recording video for this game for two reasons. I will explain more in the Graphics section, but now you know why there are not that many videos in this review. Something else I feel it is best to inform you of is that I received and reviewed the game prior to its official release. While that is awesome, it also means that some things were not available to me as I played. I will also explain that in the Graphics section.
With those points covered, time to get to the actual reviewing!

App Description
PreSchool Animals is designed to help children learn Animals and their Names. You see, in Suppise, everything typically starts out in the opposite direction of what we normally think.
In Suppise, writing comes before reading because writing is the expression of your own thoughts, whereas in reading, you must identify the letters placed in formation to comprise a word of someone elses choosing.
For children just learning their letter sounds, this can be an extremely difficult and frustrating task. We're hoping to help alleviate that with PreSchool Animals.
The moveable alphabet was invented to help guide children who are ready to start the process of writing and reading, or would enjoy a little practice.
For those children who have the ability and interest to start writing, but don't quite have the fine motor skills needed to hold a pencil and draw the letters, the moveable alphabet was created.

Banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. saw their deposits rise in 2012 even as they cut back on the number of offices operating across the U.S.
The amount of insured deposits in 2012 experienced the largest one-year percentage increase in six years last year, the financial regulator noted in its summary of deposits report.
Additionally, the institution said total domestic deposits increased 8.5% for the year ending June 30,2012, the largest one-year percentage increase in domestic deposits over a six-year period.
However, the total number of offices operated by FDIC-insured institutions continued to drop, falling 1% or by 857 offices, to just under 97,000 locations.
"Contraction in the number of offices largely reflects the continuing decline in the number of FDIC-insured institutions," the FDIC said.
The number of offices held open by FDIC-insured institutions fell by 267 units, compared to 317 the previous year.
As a whole, all geographic areas reported deposit growth and office contraction from 2011 to 2012, but deposits held in metropolitan areas were the strongest, growing 9.1% in 2012.
"If you step back from it and look year over year, the branches are down, the customer satisfaction is up, and the deposits are up strongly, which is a nice combination," said Brian Moynihan, president and CEO of Bank of America (BAC), in the company's first-quarter earnings address.
For months, market analysts have noted that some banks are focusing on more tailored, smaller retail branches while others are closing excess branches as the market.

Weather wise it was impossible to get there so I decided to try my hand at crepes. Finding a recipe was easy and within 20 minutes she had a plate of crepes filled with Nutella, Strawberry, Banana and garnished with drizzled chocolate and whipped cream. She told me they taste just as good as the restaurant. She absolutely made my day! I can't wait to make them again.

As controversial show "Bigg Boss 9" is nearing its conclusion, speculations about who will take home the trophy this season have been going wild.
To predict the winner of "Bigg Boss 9", a lady tarot card reader will enter the house on Wednesday's episode. According to Twitter buzz, the tarot card reader secretly informed Bigg Boss that Mandana Karimi could be the winner of "Bigg Boss 9".
Not just that, the lady also predicted the fate of the contestants after their stint inside the house. About Prince Narula's love life, the tarot card reader said that the relationships he developed inside the house will not last forever.
Rochelle Rao took the opportunity to ask about her future endeavours and her relationship with Keith Sequeira. To this, the tarot card reader said that she shouldn't expect much professionally and that her relationship isn't strong enough at the moment.
Besides the prediction, the upcoming episode will also see a major argument between Mandana and Prince, wherein she will mention that none of Prince's friends (Kishwer Merchantt, Suyyash Rai) have survived till the finale week, but she has.
Also, mid-week eviction will take place in the upcoming episode and it will see the elimination of Keith.

The Cross River State Government has proposed a reduction of its budget size from N148,329,681,932 to N144,152,966,783.53.
This was contained in a bill requesting for the amendment of 2012 Appropriation Law forwarded to the state Assembly yesterday.
Highlights of the proposed adjustment necessitating the request include Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) which until June 2012 was N6,231,540.000 against the mid-year target of N 13,023,500.00 representing 47.85 percent achievement.
Governor Liyel Imoke said in comparative terms, the performance was the highest of all mid-year performance ever recorded, but, however, stated that when matched with the state rising current commitment and significant potential, more can be achieved.
The governor said the Federation Account inflow which had also necessitated the adjustments had always been determined by the volatility of crude oil price in the international market and general economic conditions.
The state had anticipated a favourable judgment in respect of the 76 oil wells and accordingly made a provision for inflow of N6,037,685,934 by mid-year but noted that the performance level of N4,083,813,373.18, representing 67.64 per cent as at June 2012 preceded the Supreme Court judgment, noting that as expected, this had severe ramification on the state cash flow.
On donor funds, the governor said the provision hadbeen reduced from N2,667,999,980 to N500 million.

This month's General Convention in Minneapolis, which must approve New Hampshire's decision, will likely see Robinson as a chance to decide the question of gay bishops for a long time to come. The debate will be vociferous.
You would expect an openly gay clergyman like me to be delighted with Robinson's election. And I certainly am. But the election does present the exquisite conflict of two cherished values: The imperative that one called by the spirit of God and chosen by the community of Christ be ordained a bishop in the Church. And the hope that, as Jesus said, his body, the Church, could continue to be one.
For a long time biblical scholars have been saying there is no good reason to give anti-gay strictures in the Bible any more authority than cautions about lending money at interest or wearing clothing made of blended fabrics. Robinson's election is an institutional ratification of this idea, and it could not have been more clear: The election didn't grind on for 15 ballots well into the night. Gene was the clear winner for a position, I am told, he dearly wanted, and for which he was adequately prepared. He has worked his way up through the ranks, as we used to say in the military. He has been a parish priest, and spent many years on the staff of the bishops in that diocese.
That might be the end of that, then, but for two things: politics and theology.
Politically, Robinson must get the consent of a majority of the American church. This is normally achieved by writing letters to the approximately 100 diocesan bishops and each diocese's standing committee to accept the new bishop's election. But if the election occurs, as Robinson's did, within four months of a General Convention of the whole church the whole process can be done by a vote of bishops meeting in their House and the lay and clerical deputies meeting in their House. Some say the General Convention voting as a body is somewhat more liberal than the standing committees voting separately. If that is the case, Robinson may have an easy--or easier--road to ordination.
But a bishop is a bishop of the whole church, and as such are symbols of unity. What about the voices of conservatives in the church? Already some American bishops are declaring that they will not be in communion with the new Bishop of New Hampshire. (I wonder how they feel about being in communion with those who have chosen to elect him.) What about Africa? Anglicanism is on the decline in most of the western world, including in the United States. In Africa, a conservative, evangelical approach is attracting millions. At least one African Bishop has said that the American Church has broken its communion with him by electing Robinson. Another, Archbishop Peter Akinola, has gone so far as to say that openly gay clergy should be killed. That should give pause to anyone who thinks the whole communion is of one mind.
Beginning many years ago, the Anglican Communion agreed that some branches of the church would go in different directions on some issue-for example, the ordination of women, liturgical renewal and certainly the church's attitude toward homosexuality.
There is the timid option and there is the courageous option. We can take a course of action more likely to preserve church unity, placate the conservatives, keep the African Bishops happy, and increase the number of friendly teas offered at Lambeth Conference, the gathering of the worldwide Anglican communion. And that would be a value, indeed.
On the other hand, we can take the next step on the path the church has been taking for 25 years and ordain an openly gay bishop, continue to ordain openly gay clergy, and witness to our conviction that gay and straight in this church stand on exactly the same footing. My choice is highly influenced by my years in this church as a gay man. Consider these two slices of church life-one from about 25 years ago and one from just last month.
Twenty-five years ago a priest I know was brought in to start a ministry in the arts at a huge, influential parish in a large metropolitan area which, recognizing how we have all changed, will remain nameless. Not too long after he joined the staff, it was discovered that he was homosexual--a gay man committed to a discreet existence with his live-in partner. This was radical in those days. The parish decided they could not tolerate it, and the priest was quietly severed from the parish staff.

CCI begins the development of every certification examination with a Job Analysis (sometimes referred to as a Role Delineation Study or RDS). The purpose of the Job Analysis is to ensure that the questions on the certification exam accurately reflect current practice of the population being tested. In the case of the CNS-CP, a panel of CNS subject matter experts (SMEs) who are knowledgeable of the role was charged to complete the following tasks:
These findings were then validated through a survey which was first piloted and then nationally disseminated to individuals working as an advanced practice nurse in the perioperative setting. The results of the survey then became the test specification blueprint from which test questions were written.
The CNS-CP exam covers the following subject areas:
To learn more about each of these subject areas download and review the detailed Task and Knowledge Statements and Recommended Bibliography.
The CNS-CP Candidate Handbook contains important information about the CNS-CP exam, including subject areas to be tested, sample questions, policies, and the job analysis. The CNS-CP Job Analysis details the tasks performed by perioperative nurses and the knowledge and skills required to complete those tasks and, as a result, it is the basis for the CNS-CP exam. All candidates should review the CNS-CP Candidate Handbook, as it is an invaluable resource in preparing for the CNS-CP examination.

How Japan Reforms Its Violent Kids Crimes Double
Nicole Gaouette, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
Michinobu Yamaguchi is marooned.
He's somewhere between childhood and maturity: Grown-ups still make him shy, yet he can talk about himself with unvarnished insight.
His body has begun the sprint toward adulthood, but his rangy limbs are offset by a child's soft, round face. His tatami-mat room has a military neatness, though one shelf is cluttered with kids' stuff: comic books, sketches, and letters from home, hundreds of miles away. He's a student at Musashino National Reform School, a facility for Japan's most difficult juvenile delinquents. Troubled and troublesome kids have riveted Japan lately, as a wave of juvenile violence swamps front pages, TV programs, and national discussion. By US standards the figures are low, but in Japan they are impressive: The number of kids between 14 and 20 who committed crimes like murder, robbery, and rape has doubled in the past four years, reaching 2,263 last year. These numbers and the explosive rage often in evidence have prompted a slew of theorizing as experts offer one-stop explanations to reassure an uneasy public. But the roots of this trend lie deeper than any one cause. "This involves the country's economic, political, educational, and moral aspects," says sociologist Mitsuyuki Maniwa. "Looking at Japan today, we realize that almost everything has gone wrong. Japan's politics are poisoned, and its economy collapsed." "Corporate ethics rule the nation, and education is no exception.... Kids are a reflection of society," he argues, "and the accumulated problems of postwar Japan are erupting through them." Michinobu ended up at Musashino after his parents' divorce. Sent to live with his father, he was cared for by an older sister until her sudden death left him isolated. "You could never talk to parents or a teacher," he says quietly. "And even if you tried, they'd never listen. They'd talk down to me as if I wasn't a person." It's been nine months since he was sent here, and his small face tightens at questions about home. Neither he nor his teachers will detail the spiral of delinquency and violence that led to his admission, but the fact that he's here is telling. Japan has 57 regional reform schools, and the cases they can't handle go to one of two government-run schools. Musashino is the boys' facility. The second reformatory is for girls. Mario Tameishi runs Musashino and sees a clear escalation in the seriousness of crimes kids are committing. While juvenile crime rates were higher after World War II, most admissions to the 80-year-old reformatory were for theft. "They were related to hunger," he says, as he sips tea in the school's bustling communal office. "Kids stole to eat." With the burgeoning wealth of the 1970s, Musashino's delinquents were being brought in for substance abuse involving paint thinner. "Now it's marijuana or worse," Mr. Tameishi says, "and they're stealing cars, not food." Youth violence isn't new. The fiercely competitive education system and its emphasis on conformity has led to bullying of the kids who don't fit in. And while teens decry the current violence, they understand the knife-carrying fad that has led to some of the attacks. "It's a symbol of strength," says Taichi Ishikawa, a private-school student in Tokyo. …

FBI pedophile symbols - WikiLeaks- [ Traducir esta página ]
This visually explosive FBI document reveals the secret symbols organized pedophiles use to... Standing Intelligence Requirements Set contained in Q-FBI-
2200-005-06, HRWC CAC-VI.A.5. .... 7 (U) FBI internal e-mail, 24 October 2006. ...
FBI document reviews symbols used by pedophiles
In an exclusive report, Wikinews has obtained an internal FBI document from Wikileaks detailing symbols used by organized pedophiles to identify one another.
Wikileaks obtained the document via Spanish "childhood erotica" networks. According to Wikileaks, the unclassified parts of the document were only briefly published by the Ann Arbor,Michigan police department in a newsletter, which was later removed from the internet.
The document, which is titled Symbols and Logos Used by Pedophiles to Identify Sexual Preferences states that "pedophiles, to include those who sexually abuse children as well as those who produce, distribute, and trade child pornography, are using various types of identification logos or symbols to recognize one another and distinguish their sexual preferences."
According to the FBI, there are at least three groups that pedophiles can use to identify what age and or gender they prefer such as "boylove, girllove and childlove." Most of the logos have been found to be printed on coins, necklace charms and rings.
The first logo, 'The BoyLover logo' (BLogo) "is a small blue spiral-shaped triangle surrounded by a larger triangle, whereby the small triangle represents a small boy and the larger triangle represents an adult man. A variation of the BLogo is the Little Boy Lover logo (LBLogo), which also embodies a small spiral-shaped triangle within a larger triangle; however, the corners of the LBLogo are rounded to resemble a scribbling by a young child," said the document.
The second logo, 'The GirlLover logo' (GLogo) is "a small heart surrounded by a larger heart, which symbolizes a relationship between an adult male or female and minor girl," the document stated.
The last logo, 'The ChildLover logo' (CLogo), "resembles a butterfly and represents non-preferential gender child abusers," added the document.
It is not known how the document came to be in the hands of Spanish childhood erotica enthusiasts. The logos were found during raids on computers and other items related to pedophile investigations.

"What if I fart…or poop?"
Lola: In the words of one of our wisest staffers: "Never end up with someone who makes you hold in a fart. Life's too short and sex is too ridiculous." Another Rookie writer actually dumped her boyfriend the day after she farted during sex–because she was the only one who laughed.
As for pooping. As…for pooping…
LIVED TO BONE ANOTHER DAY: Krista herself.
Krista: Here is my real-life worst-case scenario that actually happened:
One winter night, I went to bed with my boyfriend (we'll call him Jonathan here). I wasn't feeling very well; we had eaten tacos for dinner and my stomach hurt and I was grumpy as I took off my clothes and climbed into bed with him. We ended up having sex, and then we both fell asleep, naked, with him spooning me. The windows were open—Jonathan and I both loved to sleep in really cold weather while being all warm with another person in bed. In the middle of the night, I sort of woke up, vaguely needing to fart really badly. Mostly still asleep, I farted—AHHH SWEET RELIEF—and felt immediately 100% better. I rolled over and fell completely asleep.
Sometime around 4 AM, I woke up again, feeling strangely cold and wet. It felt like I was in a…puddle of some sort. Hmmm. What was going on? I put my fingers down into the puddle and touched—OMG OMG—cold liquid near my crotch. OH SHIT, I thought. I'VE STARTED MY PERIOD IN JONATHAN'S BED. I froze there in the dark for a second, quietly panicking about the apparently HUGE amount of blood that was pooling on his mattress, then got up (Jonathan could sleep through absolutely anything) and switched on the desk lamp.
OH SHIT. IT WASN'T BLOOD. IT WAS ACTUALLY SHIT. One hundred percent liquid shit, goldeny-brown in color. YOU GUYS, I SHAT MY BOYFRIEND'S BED.
It was everywhere. Everywhere. It was all over me, it was all over Jonathan, it was all over his sheets. There is really no way for you all to understand how much liquid diarrhea there was in that room, and it was freezing cold, because the window was open. What the fuck was I going to do?
My first thought was that Jonathan could not be allowed see this. He was a germophobe—he'd never be able to recover. It would be the end of us.
He was still asleep. I went to his closet and grabbed a few washcloths. I grabbed his water bottle. Naked, covered in my own diarrhea, I inched toward the bed. Carefully, carefully, I pulled the top sheet off his body and threw it on the floor. He didn't wake up. I wet one of the washcloths with water from his water bottle. Slowly, and so gently it almost didn't work at first, I dabbed at the diarrhea on my boyfriend's body. It took me about 10 minutes to wipe him pretty much clean.
Now about the bottom sheet, the sheet under his body: What was I going to do?
I did what anyone would have done if they were in my position and dating a heavy sleeper: I loosened the fitted sheet around the mattress and tugged, gently rolling Jonathan to one side as I pulled the sheet out from under him. This maneuver took another 10 minutes, and I was terrified that any second he would wake up and see what was going on. But you best believe I GOT THAT SHEET. You guys, it dripped in my hands.
Now I had the bottom sheet, I had the top sheet, and I had several shit-covered washcloths. I bundled everything in my arms and crept into the bathroom. I got into the shower clutching the sheets and washcloths, turned the water on "scalding" and used shampoo to scrub at the poo all over everything until there was almost no trace of it. I scrubbed myself practically raw with soap, dried off, hung the sheets over the shower-curtain rod, and went back to the bedroom, where Jonathan was sleeping, naked, on a bare mattress, with the windows wide open on a winter night. I checked to make sure there was no trace of diarrhea on his gorgeous body, then curled up next to him and dragged the blanket over us. His skin was freezing.
He woke up the next morning, confused, cold, and disoriented. "Baby, what the fuck? Where's the sheet? Why are we on the mattress?" His beautiful, accusing eyes locked with mine.
For a second, I was speechless. If I told him what had really happened, he would break up with me (Nooooo!! I loved him) and then possibly kill himself, or at least spend the remainder of his adult life taking 22 showers a day and the remaining two hours rubbing Purell into his raw skin.
So I did what I had to do to save our relationship and to save Jonathan from the ninth circle of a germophobe's hell and a lifetime of therapy. I looked him in the eye and said solemnly, "Jonathan, there's something I need to tell you. Last night…you peed the bed."
We dated for years.
In conclusion…
We're not saying that to be a happy and responsible member of sexual society, you should just GET OVER any and all fears/phobias/hangups IMMEDIATELY or NO SEX FOR YOU. In general, it's OK to be embarrassed about something, or think something is gross, or not want to do something because it seems weird to you (in a not-good way). You don't have to feel ashamed about feeling embarrassed about feeling ashamed, OMG, not in this busy modern world.
Embarrassing stuff happens in life, to everybody. You have two options for how to respond to that stuff: You can try to prevent it, or you can get over it. Luckily, if you choose "preventing it" and it ends up happening anyway (which it will), "getting over it" remains an option. For some people, getting over it is riding a motorcycle of DGAF off of the highest cliff of YOLO mountain. For others, it means working around the stuff that embarrasses you—or finding a way to accept that something happened and that you felt embarrassed and now it's over and you might as well move the heck on. If Krista did, so can you. ♦

# Dear Dr. House
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007
We are delighted to present you with our 23nd issue of Entrepreneurial Alternatives Newsletter and our 7th issue of 2007. We are absolutely delighted to report that we remain energized about economic development prospects for our country and we are currently engaged in about 6 exciting projects which we will inform you about in the future. This is a happy time for us. Our theme for this edition is clarity of vision. I cannot emphasize how important it is to craft a vision and implement it. This is absolutely essential if you wish to take yourself to another level in your developmental processes.
In this edition, we discuss the Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy's classes which have just gotten underway with a great start, Dr. House's participation in the 10th anniversary celebration of the Northern Ohio Live Magazine Rainmaker's Organization, the third personality characteristic of successful entrepreneurs, and our Dear Dr. House letters which this week come from West Palm Beach, Florida and Nairobi, Kenya.
Quote of the Week
"If you don't know where you are going, why should anyone else follow you down that road?"
---Dr. Bessie House---
The Ten Personality Characteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs, Part 3 (of 10)
by Dr. Bessie House
Personality Characteristic Number Three: Clarity of Vision
(The following information is an excerpt from Dr. House's fourth book, "The Ten Personality Characteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs." This book is based on research findings of Dr. House in which she examined the lives of hundreds of entrepreneurs and was able to isolate and identify 10 personality traits that they shared in common which contributed to their ability to achieve entrepreneurial success.)
In order to be a successful entrepreneur, you need to have a clear vision for the future. You need to look at both your short term and long term goals in a very deliberative way. One way to develop a clear vision is to craft a personal plan or in the case of entrepreneurs, develop a business plan. Remember, that a business plan is simply a blueprint for the present and future development of the business and should be as detailed as possible.
What kind of business should I establish? Why do I need to start a business right now instead of a year from now? What types of products and services will I offer to the public? Where will I locate my business? Who are my clients going to be? Where will I acquire the financial capital that I need? How much capital will I need to start and expand my business over time? These are only a few questions that a good business plan should answer. In the words of Napoleon Hill and Dennis Kimbro, "the ship's captain cannot see his destination for fully 99% of his journey, but he knows what it is, where it is, and that he will reach it if he keeps doing certain things a certain way."
Do you know where you are going?

Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy's classes start with standing room only crowd of participants
We are very delighted to report that the Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy's business training classes started on Thursday, June 8, 2007 to a standing room only crowd of participants. The Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy is the result of a creative and exciting new collaboration initiated by the Honorable Mayor Jay Williams (pictured at right) of the city of Youngstown. The collaboration includes the National Center for Entrepreneurship, Inc., the Mahoning Youngstown Community Action Partnership, and Youngstown State University. The Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy is an affiliate center of the National Center for Entrepreneurship, Inc, headed by Dr. Bessie House who is a nationally recognized leader, advocate, and expert on entrepreneurship and economic development issues. Mr. Herman Hill, a former graduate of Kent State University is the Director of the Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy.
The Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy opened its' doors to the public on Monday, April 9, 2007 after a press conference was organized by Mayor Jay Williams in which he discussed his vision for the city of Youngstown in developing opportunities for minority and female-owned disadvantaged business enterprises. Dr. House and Mr. Hill also participated and attended the press conference as well. The Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy uses the model of entrepreneurship that was developed and popularized by Dr. House over the past twelve years. This is a model of applied entrepreneurship which has successfully generated 51 new business start up companies over the past few years. It has also helped many existing businesses to take their work to another level.
According to Dr. House, "We are very excited about this collaboration because it represents the best spirit of regional collaborative efforts that are designed to boost and strengthen our economies in Northeast, Ohio. Together, we can work to make the dreams of our citizenry with regard to attaining economic empowerment become a reality." Within a few days of the announcement of the opening of the Youngstown Entrepreneurial Academy, almost 200 people made phone calls and registered to take their classes. If you live in Youngstown and are interested in taking upcoming classes in the future, please call Mr. Herman Hill at 330-747-7921, extension 1190.
Dr. House participates in the 10th anniversary celebration of the Northern Ohio Live Magazine Rainmaker's Organization
Dr. Bessie House recently celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the establishment of the Northern Ohio Live Magazine Rainmaker's Organization at a reception at their new headquarters. According to the mission statement of the organization, "Rainmakers are women who take on huge risks to meet high standards and attain meaningful goals." Dr. Bessie House was inducted into the 2003 class of Rainmaker's as she was selected to receive the 2003 Northern Ohio Live Magazine Top Rainmaker of the Year Award in the category of education and research. She was also selected to grace the cover of the magazine.
Dear Dr. House
Hi Dr House,
I enjoy reading about the great things you are doing to promote entrepreneurship in Cleveland and other parts of the country. Entrepreneurial Alternatives , is a good read for me.
I met you in 2004 in the company of Dr. Noah Midamba. At the time of our meeting, I was doing my Executive Doctorate of Management at Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. I graduated in May 2006 and am now back in Kenya. I am the current CEO of Kenya College of Accountacy.
I'm interested in entrepreneurship, and wish for some sort of affiliation between your Entrepreneurial Academies and our college.
During my doctorate, I researched "Factors that contribute to the dearth of entrepreneurship among African Americans in Cleveland's Inner City." Your book Confronting the Odds, helped me quite a lot in my literature review. I also quoted extensively from a journal where you had written about the Psychological Capital and how it influences entrepreneursip in an individual. Ultimately, I extended this study to Kenya where I looked at "Factors that Facilitate Invention to Venture Creation among College Students and Nascent Entrepreneurs." It was both an exploratory and confirmatory research. Please take time to consider my request.
Kenya College of Accontancy will receive its' accreditation in July this year to become a full fledged university. Currently we have 13,000 students pursuing various studies in accountancy, ICT, law, and entrepreneurship amongst others.
Hope to hear from you.
Kind regards, Dr Daniel Musungu Oruoch
Kenya College Of Accountancy,
PO Box 56808(00200),
Dear Dr. Oruoch:
Hope you are doing well and thank you so much for your marvelous letter. It was both encouraging and stimulating. I enjoyed meeting you a few years ago and am happy to see that you have used my work extensively while pursuing your Ph.D. at Case Western Reserve University and later on as you have since traveled back to your homeland of Kenya. As you know from our newsletter, our entrepreneurial activities are continuing to grow and expand across time and space. Thank you for requesting an opportunity to develop some type of affiliation between our National Center for Entrepreneurship and your college to create an Entrepreneurial Academy in Kenya. I am delighted to hear that you are the CEO of Kenya College of Accountancy. I would be delighted to discuss further with you how we can work to establish such an affiliation and as you may know, I have done a lot of work on Kenya, and performed field research at the University of Nairobi some years ago for my Ph.D. dissertation.
I will contact you in the near future and we can develop a strategy to develop a great affiliation between our respective organizations.
All the best,
Dr. Bessie House

Dr. House -
Good afternoon! I'm excited and so overwhelmed with how God Moves Us! I'm sorry, my name is Andre M Russell, I live in West Palm Beach and I am a good friend of your brother William. I was praying yesterday on how can I positively make a difference in my neighborhood other than what I am doing right now. I decided to call William to ask if he can do an event for me and after I explained to him what I wanted to do, he started telling me of you and your work.
My parents have been in education for over 40 years and I have been in education for over 12 years, and we agree that we are not teaching our youth how to succeed in life as it is today. I am looking to start a Charter School for Practical Business Practices / Entrepreneurial training and Media Communication. I would love for your input and guidance in doing so. If you would please allow us to converse on this idea, I'm sure you would be able to give us a wealth of information and general direction. Please feel free to contact me. We look forward to talking with you.
- Andre Russell
Mr. Russell -
Thank you so much for your kind letter. I also want to thank my brother William for sharing the Entrepreneurial Alternatives newsletter with you. It is excellent to hear from you, and it is always heartening to learn of efforts to help out up and coming entrepreneurs. I will have my secretary to contact you so that we can have a conference call with you and William to see how we can collaborate together on your project with the charter school.
From one educator to another, I sincerely wish your Charter School the best of luck in the years and the decades to come.
All the best,

Sprint and HTC are currently setting up for the HTC EVO One unveiling press event in New York city right now, but we thought we'd share a few pictures of the new One series handset to give you a quick peek at what we will be playing with this afternoon. DROID Life has managed to get some early hands-on time with the HTC EVO One, confirming the handset's 4.7-inch 720p display, 8 megapixel camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera and Android 4.0.3 build with HTC Sense 4.0. The images they captured focus mainly on the back side of the device and prominently show off the HTC EVO One's red kickstand, which is located on the upper portion of the phone.
The design of the HTC EVO One looks a bit odd when compared to the sleek HTC One X and One S. While we're excited to see HTC is bringing back the kickstand with this device, the two-tone back panel (glossy and matte) looks like it would make the phone stand out in a crowd, and not in a good way.
What are your thoughts on the HTC EVO One's design? Do you like what Sprint and HTC have come up with, or should they have simply kept the look of the HTC One X?

Price rises spur new curbs in Zhengzhou
While further tightening by central government is unlikely, Henan capital introduces tougher measures after a 2.38pc gain in home prices
Zhengzhou yesterday introduced tougher measures for the property market despite the general expectation that the central government would refrain from any more tightening of the sector amid an economic slowdown.
The capital of Henan province said it would bar people without residency permits who have lived in the city for less than three years from buying second homes. It would also prohibit residents under the age of 20 from buying any property, the city's Housing Bureau said in a statement on its Sina Weibo microblog.
The measures come after the city saw a 2.38 per cent month-on-month gain in new home prices to 8,811 yuan (HK$11,070) per square metre in August.
New home prices on the mainland rose the most last month since December on growing expectation that the central government was unlikely to further tighten the property market, according to real estate website SouFun.
In SouFun's survey of 100 cities, average prices jumped 8.61 per cent year on year to 10,442 yuan per square metre in August. On a month-on-month basis, they grew on average 0.92 per cent.
"Prices of new homes will continue to increase as September and October are traditionally the peak seasons in the real estate market," said Thomas Lam, head of research and consultancy, Greater China, at property consultancy Knight Frank.
He predicted prices in major cities would jump 10 per cent this year as the central authorities were unlikely to introduce any more measures to cool the market. "Given the slow economy, the central government will tolerate the price growth rather than introducing harsher policies," he said.
Led by gains in inner cities, SouFun said, 71 cities reported higher prices last month from July, while 29 cities saw a decline.
Fuzhou recorded a 3.92 per cent month-on-month increase to an average of 15,173 yuan per square metre while Xuzhou rose 3.66 per cent to 6,200 yuan per square metre. Beijing was up 3.22 per cent to 25,000 yuan per square metre.
Lam said prices also rose because of the 20 per cent capital gains tax on the secondary market, which came into effect on April 1.
"Developers have benefited from the tax policy as home seekers are flocking to the primary market," he said.
He said most developers would exceed their sales target this year as they had already locked in 70 to 80 per cent of their targets.
The positive market outlook also stems from aggressive land acquisitions by developers in several cities.
But new home prices in Wenzhou and Haikou fell more than 10 per cent last month from a year earlier, while those in Sanya in Hainan, Zhangjiagang and Jiangyin in Jiangsu, and Guiyang in Guizhou dropped 1 to 8 per cent.

Fantastic, I like these exercises
Excellent technique and great explanations man!
Hello GMC!
One of the most important things for any musician is to incorporate new techniques to help us express our ideas in a better way and to expand our vocabulary.
On this occation i'd like to talk to you about hybrid picking. This is a really effective technique which isn't used very often but you might know about it beacause of guitar masters such as Brett Garsed, a true Ace of Hybrid picking and also many country guitar players like Steve Trovato and Danny Gatton amongst others. Still, the technique is extremely useful for any style.
Let's check out its benefits:
1- It's very useful for playing triads, arpeggios and wide interval scale patterns and string skipping as well.
2- Just by grouping different patterns on the right hand we'll get way more phrases by moving just a few notes on the left hand.
3- It sounds better than sweep picking since we hit the notes with our fingers and that adds way more rhythmic presicion. This also allows us to play cleaner sounds and obtain some killer tone since, for example, gives much more attack to legatos. Chords will sound much clearer too.
This lesson features a hybrid picking exercise I made in the key of E minor which repeats a right hand pattern on the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings and in the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings (two groups of three strings). This should be practiced in all four groups of strings in order to use them in any melodic idea.
Practice it slowly.
In this exercise all notes should sound at the same volume and with the same feel. Pay close attention to the drums pattern as well.
Please don't forget this is not a musical idea but an exercise in order to incorporate this technique.
There will be more lessons where I use this technique combining different melodic ideas.
The chords that form this sequence:
Em9 – Am7 – Gmaj9 – F#m7b5 – Bm7 – Cmaj7 # 11
Feel free to ask any questions in case you have a doubt!
-- Juan

Public Relations is about reputation - the result of what you do, what you say and what others say about you.
One of the key tools involved in helping a company to establish a credible reputation is media relations. While social media may have given communication a new dimension, independent media outlets can still make or break reputations.
Media relations is often described as earned media as editors decide what's published and what's rubbished.
Our team of PR professionals will work with you to develop stories about your organisation that will earn column inches and airtime. For some clients, we provide a complete press office service, whereas for others, we run one-off campaigns.
We consistently deliver coverage across the UK that establishes brands, builds profile and influences stakeholders.
Client experience
Here's some examples of our work delivering public relations campaigns across a range of sectors including property, food and drink, and leisure and hospitality.

I found a fully programmable clock chip that can replace the 8701 and will generate the right frequencies for NTSC and PAL for both the color and dot clocks. Changing between NTSC and PAL will still require a different fundamental crystal and toggling some DIP switches, but I can place both crystals on the board and have a jumper to select between the two. Below is my breadboard test with the chip.

Replacement Clock Generator Chip
2 comments:
Would this get around the need to change the VIC-II chip version when switching between PAL & NTSC?ReplyDelete
Is this something that could be retrofitted to existing C64's?
The clock chip could be wired up to replace the old clock circuit in a C64. It would probably have to be mounted on a PCB with jumpers to control the clocking.ReplyDelete
The VIC chip would still need to be swapped out to match the display since the signal encodings are different between the two. But... I don't see any reason why you couldn't leave an NTSC chip in the board and clock it at PAL freq to match the timings of a PAL demo or other program. The TV or monitor would just need to be able to handle running at the faster frequency.

Anzolette Hussey's Sampler
Anzolette Hussey's Sampler
- Description
Three block alphabets of 26 letters (one incomplete); one script alphabet to "V"; no "J"; numbers to 9. Alphabets and numbers colored in pairs or groups with all rows separated by simple geometric crossbands. At bottom of sampler, pair of birds on trees and pair of urns with flowers.

THREAD COUNT: warp 24, weft 34/in.
"Anzolette Hussey Aged
9 Years Nov 7th 1821"
- Anzolette was born on April 7, 1812, to Captain Andrew (1783–1861) and Mary Tredick Hussey in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She married Ebenezer Knight on June 15, 1835, and they had five daughters—Mary, Ariadne, Hannah E., Sarah K., and Abby. Anzolette died on November 20, 1895, in Washington, D.C., but is buried in Portsmouth. This sampler is very different from her other one and was probably worked at a different school.

Anyone For Fashion?
VENUS WILLIAMS attracted the attention of fashion watchers as well as tennis lovers as she won her round two Autralian Open match yesterday. Williams took to the court in a yellow lattice-effect top, a colourful skirt, and her now trademark nude shorts from her own label EleVen.
Venus Williams isn't the only tennis star who has attracted attention for her on-court style, her sister Serena- as well as Maria Sharapova, Anna Kournikova, Jelena Jankovic and Tamira Paszek - have also provoked gasps from the crowd for reasons other than their tennis skills.

While the desk-drawer bourbon is still coursing through my bloodstream, I feel compelled to weigh in on a discussion that has been on and off on the tweets and blogs for oh, a long time now. The question is re: whether you are a morally bankrupt individual if you publish in non-open access journals. TL;DR, the answer is a big fat NO. I'm too lazy to storify or whatever, but you should definitely read Dr. Isis's predictably excellent post, which is framed in the context of the choice to go open access or glam mag, the former perhaps/likely crushing her chances of adding to the despicably low numbers of TT Latina women in science.
But I am here to take this mentality a step further. It doesn't matter WHO you are. If you are a person at any pre-tenure stage of an academic career (incl grad students & post-docs), the reality is that you are judged by a finite number of things: 1) where you did your PhD; 2) who you do your post-doc work with; and 3) the IF of the journals you publish in. It's not rocket science/brain surgery, people. Now, there are most definitely arguments to be made that these are not the be-all end-all of ACTUAL merit , but this is the world we live in. If you think these are terrible metrics and wish to push forward with no regard for such customs, I wish you all the best.
Open Access is an awesome thing, and I hope one day that all people everywhere have access to every scientific paper ever written. This might actually happen. But in the meantime, we need to get/keep our jobs, mkay? And this means doing the things that impress people according to the 3 criteria laid out above. You do not need to do ALL of them at the level of like, Harvard/Nobel Laureate/CNS, but if you have the OPTION of publishing in a glam mag as a pre-tenure person, do not fall on your sword for the sake of the general public, FFS! Make yourself the most impressive scientist you can possibly be, because nobody else is going to do it for you, and a whole lot of people are probably going to do it instead of you.

I don't think you understand what the word "regressive" means...ReplyDelete
I think you were absent on the first day of Kindergarten when they said if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all. Comment on the piece not an individual word. Thank you.
The word "regressive" means to become "less advanced". In my opinion what makes the T stand ahead of its peers is the customer service provided by its operational staff. Therefore if staffing is cut we are becoming less advanced than our peers.
I appreciate the feedback on the one word. If not regressive than bad, unhelpful, not as good. :)
Nice op-ed piece. I'm proudly among the contingent of riders who notices and appreciates transportation workers (and other service employees) - they really make the system tick! I try to thank the (asst.) conductor/engineer/any employee I pass every single time I get off a train...ReplyDelete

fashion :: the ASOS nineties
ASOS has to be my favourite. Whenever I'm asked for a recommendation, or asked where I buy my clothes from, I usually reply with them. There is just something about their clothes which are much more fashion forward, on a par with your high street stores like Topshop and Zara.

He's so unhip that now he's cool: Steve Urkel, a regular in-your-face kind of guy. When he laughs, he snorts. When he talks, he whines in a nasal, grating voice.
When he arrives, he intrudes, with his pants riding up his skinny waist and his mouth working overtime, popping out sassy, if not annoying, rejoinders.
Who, you may wonder, is Steve Urkel and why should anyone care? Played by the 14-year-old actor Jhaleel White, Steve Urkel is the geek-next-door who has grabbed the public fancy and catapulted "Family Matters," the ABC Friday night sitcom about a black police officer and his extended family, into a hit that ranks frequently among the top five shows in prime time.

Have you been eying a pair of bright pants, but you have no idea how/where you would wear them? Well, I am here to tell you that colored pants, are everyday pants, and acceptable for every occasion! I have at least 5 different pairs of colored pants, and they get way more use than my plain denim. I have personally struggled with how to style them at times, so I have put together a guide for how to style your colored pants!
Emerald Jeans / Blouse / Heels / Bangles
Until recently, I didn't think colored pants were appropriate for the work place. However, I have witnessed a number of professionals lately sporting their bold bottoms to the office. It does depend on what your company's dress code is, but I think colored pants can be very elegant! I prefer darker, more saturated hues for the office, but remember to keep it simple and don't over do it. If you are going to wear a bright pant to work, make sure everything else is neutral.
Cobalt Jeans / Crop Top / Sequin Blazer / Pumps / Necklace
I am obsessed with wearing colored jeans out at night verses the traditional black skinnies. I love the drama a colored pant can bring to an outfit, and immediately makes you stand out in a crowd! For a night out on the town, try a bright cobalt, or red pant, and spice it up with a great metallic pump and a sequin blazer. An evening look is when you can really play with all your accoutrements.
Peach Jeans / Sweater / Scarf / Sandals
Here are a few ways I've styled my own colored jeans in the past!
Are you a fan of colored trousers?
What are your favorite colors?

The US maker of Oreo cookies and Philadelphia cheese believes it can squeeze the sales using the larger distribution network and new markets that the Cadbury deal has handed it. Outlining its strategy to Wall Street yesterday, Kraft also stuck to its target of generating $750m of cost savings from Cadbury.
Kraft secured Cadbury earlier this year after a long-running battle that worried some of the US company's shareholders and caused anger in Britain. Six months on from the acquisition, chief executive Irene Rosenfeld is under pressure to justify Cadbury's $18.4bn price – a figure billionaire Warren Buffett said was too high.
Cadbury's sale also prompted concern in the UK because of the historic nature of the company and the threat of job cuts. Jim Cali, a long-standing Cadbury executive who now runs Kraft's global gum and candy business said yesterday that "the past year has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster."
Kraft, which is based in Chicago, said it expects to achieve profit margins in the mid to high teens.

The house mouse (Mus musculus) is a brownish mouse with a long scaly tail and large, naked leaf-like ears
The house mouse is not native to Florida, but now occurs throughout the state, often in habitats associated with humans. In addition to houses, they may live in groceries, factories, or agricultural buildings where grain is stored. They may also live outdoors in old fields, pastures, or road sides. They may be a pest as they get into food, and gnaw in walls or clothing. As the weather grows colder, mice may become more active and seek indoor shelter.
Control of mice may be done by an exterminator or by the property owner. Mice may be trapped with glue boards or snap traps. The poison Quintox is also an effective control, and is not dangerous to other animals or neighborhood pets if they eat a poisoned mouse. Quintox should not be eaten directly by people or pets. Perhaps most effective is cleaning up debris, and mowing nearby overgrown areas. Messy areas give mice food and shelter, and allow the mice to breed and spread. Additionally encouraging predators, such as barn owls in the area, may decrease mice densities.
You can receive technical assistance for mouse problems by contacting your nearest FWC regional office.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What type of chemicals do you use? And are they safe?
A:We are very proud of the fact that we use cleaning products that are soap free, odor free, hypo-allergenic, non-toxic with no VOCs and no off-gassing. It is made with all natural ingredients, our cleaning product is absolutely one of the safest used in our industry today. For complete details please click on this web site: www.soapfreeprocyon.com as an example of one of our preconditioner products. We have several other that all pertain to carpet types, soil levels and individual needs
Q;How soon can I walk on it?
A;Keep pets, children and regular traffic off of the carpet for a period of 6 hours, this is the standard answer for the industry but we are not conventional carpet cleaners. The home owner may use the carpet immediately after cleaning by wearing the plastic booties we provide but in most cases without shoe covers. Wait 24 hours before removing foam blocks and plastic tabs that are put in place to protect the furniture and carpet. Some carpets may still feel slightly damp for up to 24 hours depending on carpet, soiling condition and weather. The come back of that thick shag from the 70's is becoming a fad once again!
Q;Do you move the furniture?
A:Yes our regular pricing includes moving sofas, chairs, tables, end tables, and the general furnishings. NO beds, entertainment centers, antiques, small knick nacks or foofy things and heavier pieces are left in place due to liability issues.
Q:Can you clean carpet or rugs over hardwood floors?
A:Yes, we have our system set up where the backing of the carpet or rug is not ever saturated, therefore no problem with wood floors underneath. Oriental rugs and all woven rugs should be cleaned in-plant by hand for the best results. (rug cleaning services).
Q:Do you clean Berber?
A:Absolutely, Berber is a weave, not a particular type of fabric. Berber is simply a type of loop construction that may come in olefin, nylon, wool, or a blend. Berber requires a more thorough cleaning than other carpets because the "flushing" action needs to take place to get under, around, and through the loops. Other companies that are not as thorough as we are do have problems with Berber because of leaving soil behind that "wicks" back to the surface.
Q:Do you clean Sisal, Sea Grass and Grass?
A: No. as of 2015 we are fed up with cheaply made imports and problems associated with 3rd world products
Q:Do you clean Wool?
A:Yes, yes, yes, we have special products that we use for wool. We clean wool often. We use a little lower temperature, lower pressure and there is a special low PH rinsing surfactant we use as well. We give special concern to drying time when cleaning wool as well. Most importantly there is no substitute for experience. And our 20 years of cleaning experience makes us the true experts in cleaning wool.
Q:Can you clean Haitian cotton fabrics?
A:No. again, 3rd world quality is problematic and we dropped this as of 2015
Q:What is the best cleaning method?
A:There are several methods but two of the basic methods are the wet and dry methods. The term dry cleaning is bit misleading since all methods use some amount of water. And there absolutely no similarity to the dry cleaning method that is used to clean clothing.
1. One of the more popular so-called dry methods used is referred to as dry-chem or encapsulation. The processes goes something like this: There is a cleaning product that is sprayed onto the carpet and is then wiped up with an absorbent pad or cotton bonnet using a rotary type floor machine. (I liken this to a person soaping up then just wiping off with a towel, no rinsing with water! They will get some of the dirt off but will be left with a residue). This method is actually surface or maintenance method. The down side is it does leave a heavy soapy chemical residue. The benefit is that it does dry in 1- 3 hours. Then again, we can beat that dry time with our truckmounted steam process
2. The most popular cleaning method is known as Steam Cleaning or Hot water extraction. There are basically 2 types:
A: The portable machine that plugs into your household current (one like you would rent a supermarket, not very good because it is very limited in it's power and can leave the carpet very wet taking several days for the carpet to dry).
B: A much more preferred method, is the powerful truck-mounted hot water extraction unit, which we use. This is a large powerful unit mounted in a truck or van. The process goes something like this: Here again a cleaner is applied to the carpet but it is then rinsed out with very hot soft water (you see once water is heated up to 120 degrees every 15-17 degree temperature rise doubles the waters power to clean, the water itself can become a very aggressive cleaner). The rinsing temperature can be adjusted to between 120 to 240 degrees depending on the type of carpet and soiling conditions that are found. This is the method we use and is the method that is recommended by Shaw Carpet Ind., the largest carpet manufacturer in the world. DuPont as well as all the other large manufactures also recommend this, in fact they require it, to honor their warranties. Not to mention the IICRC (Institute for Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) the CFI (California Fabric Institute) and the WFCA (World Floor Covering Association) all of which we are members of.
