The Discrete Hodge Star Operator and Poincaré Duality
Arnold, Rachel Florence
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation is a uniï¬ cation of an analysis-based approach and the traditional topological-based approach to Poincaré duality. We examine the role of the discrete Hodge star operator in proving and in realizing the Poincaré duality isomorphism (between cohomology and ho- mology in complementary degrees) in a cellular setting without reference to a dual cell complex. More speciï¬ cally, we provide a proof of this version of Poincaré duality over R via the simplicial discrete Hodge star deï¬ ned by Scott Wilson in [19] without referencing a dual cell complex. We also express the Poincaré duality isomorphism over both R and Z in terms of this discrete operator. Much of this work is dedicated to extending these results to a cubical setting, via the introduction of a cubical version of Whitney forms. A cubical setting provides a place for Robin Formanâ s complex of nontraditional differential forms, deï¬ ned in [7], in the uniï¬ cation of analytic and topological perspectives discussed in this dissertation. In particular, we establish a ring isomorphism (on the cohomology level) between Formanâ s complex of differential forms with his exterior derivative and product and a complex of cubical cochains with the discrete coboundary operator and the standard cubical cup product.

Groups Help the Few, the Proud, the Expecting
By Sharon Foster
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14, 2008 - Two troop-support groups hosted a "Military Showers of Appreciation" for 15 expectant military mothers July 27 at Camp Pendleton, Calif.
Many of the expectant mothers helped by the two groups -- North Star Group and Operation Showers of Appreciation -- have spouses who are deployed and will not be home for the birth of their new babies.
"Military Showers of Appreciation assists active-duty military families from all branches that are expecting new babies with various items they will need to care for their new baby," said Mandy Sims, vice president of the North Star Group. "Because many of these pregnant mothers have babies alone with new fathers deployed, we pay special attention to pampering these spouses and supporting them positively during this time."
The North Star Group -- a home-front supporter of the Defense Department's America Supports You program -- has been hosting "Military Showers of Appreciation" since 2006. The group decided to make this event one of their various military programs after a North Star Group volunteer and military veteran had her baby alone during her husband's deployment.
"This shower shed a little sunlight on a difficult time that many military spouses experience during constant deployments," Sims said. "Many people do not realize the sacrifices the entire military family makes during a deployment. It is important to the North Star Group that military families know they are appreciated and that they are not alone."
The baby showers are held quarterly, and applications are accepted on a first-come, most-needed basis. Twenty to 25 spouses are honored per shower each quarter.
At the most recent baby shower, held in July, the North Star Group and Operation Showers of Appreciation honored the 100th family assisted. Families at the special shower received lunch, gifts, massages, mini-makeovers and professional family portraits.
"I received a lot of baby necessities," said Ashley Ruiz, who attended the July 27 shower. "Everything from baby bottles to a bassinet, the gifts helped us out a lot. The entire event was just a very supportive, caring atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. The baby shower also provided me an opportunity to meet and make new friends with other pregnant military moms."
North Star Group plans to work with Operation Showers of Appreciation again in planning the next "Military Showers of Appreciation" event, scheduled Dec. 6 for 20 expectant mothers at Camp Pendleton. Military families are informed about these baby showers through information and application flyers and news releases distributed on bases and posted online at the North Star Group and Operation Showers of Appreciation Web sites.
"We will make every attempt to do something special for expecting families even if they miss the shower cut-off dates," Sims said. "These quarterly showers are currently held at Camp Pendleton and Twentynine Palms, California, base locations, with plans of expanding to bases in other states in the future. All military servicemembers in California willing to travel to the shower from any military bases in the area are welcome to apply."
To be considered, applicants must provide a valid active-duty military ID, current leave and earnings statement, proof of pregnancy and a completed application.
The North Star Group, which also offers information referral services to these mothers, is a supporter of the Defense Department's America Supports You program, which connects citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad.

There seems to be something that needs to be said, but it won't come out. It is like a freshman who has a crush on the senior prom queen. When she walks by his heart is full of wonder and his mouth is full of mush. Some people call it writer's block. It is not so much a block. It is a desire to relate to our fellow man in an effective way.
There is plenty to be said. There are plenty of stories, illustrations and personal journeys that can line these pages for a long time. Sometimes, they won't come out. No, they come out, but not in a way that connects to the human condition.
The human condition. There it is … the human condition. As much as we read the Holy Scriptures we tend to elevate the human condition. Of course we do. There is nobody that wants to be left as dinner for the lions.
Have you ever noticed that it is the weak that get eaten first when watching a nature show on the National Geographic Channel? It doesn't matter if it is fish or mammal. The weak are the first to go. Don't be an antelope with a sprained knee on the Serengeti Plain. You will be the main course for not only the lions but the hyenas and vultures as well.
Nobody wants to be dinner. Maybe that is why writer's block is settling in this week. There seems to be a lot of dinner going on. Have you ever noticed on one of those nature shows that once the weak one has gone down the rest of the flock seems to not care. It happens in our lives as well. We tend to alienate the weak and fallen.
Jesus had a different approach. It was to the weak he ventured. The very essence of the gospel is founded in weakness. Would any of us have considered Jesus on the cross as a moment of victory? Do we really grasp the Kingdom of Heaven as being a place where the first will be last and the last first? Do we see ourselves as always being on the edge?
That is it. It is the realization that we all live on the edge. It only takes enough stress, frustration, disappointment and seeming failure to have our fingers slip off the edge. We become dinner for the naysayers.
It is there that we tend to find Jesus. There is a T-shirt that says "I've fallen and I can't get up." Not so with Jesus. He has this way of changing our perspective. He has this way of bringing the important things into focus. We can get up! As children of the Kingdom it is that grace that calls us to give our life as a ransom for others. It is the exact words of Jesus. It is the call of the Christian. Once we realize we can get up … we help our neighbor get up. Look around … don't be deceived. There are plenty of our neighbors who can't get up on their own. Times are tough. The lions are licking their chops.

Hoboken's Board of Education is preparing for a critical battle at its next meeting likely seeing approval moving its annual spring election to November. The change became possible with a law signed earlier this month by Governor Chris Christie.
The new law gives New Jersey education boards the option of moving their spring elections to November, saving local taxpayers money and offering a potential for more voters the opportunity to weigh in when larger numbers typically go to the polls.
The state and county government bear all the costs of November elections, unlike in the spring.
Last year, a back and forth chess match in the City Council on moving its elections from spring to November led to a referendum threatening to move them back to the spring. The City Council later rescinded the move with the majority not sure how it would stave off a referendum in a low turnout election. Unlike last year, 2012 is a presidential election year, and the polls will see many times the voters in a spring election.
The move to a November BoE election is available by approval of either the BoE board or a municipal governing body, in Hoboken the City Council.
Sources close to Hoboken's BoE anticipate the State law will see action at its next meeting February 14th. One BoE commissioner anticipating the law's passage at the previous BoE meeting, Francis Rhodes-Kearns, spoke strongly against a November election saying any change should only come through a referendum.
Kids First holds a 5-4 majority on the BoE, enough votes to push through any change.
Theresa Minutillo of Kids First and a BoE commissioner stated via email, "It's big news all around the state and so far I've heard that over 100 boards have already changed their elections to November and I'm sure more to come before the February 17th deadline."
|Frank Raia hugs BoE commissioner Peter Biancamano on Washington Street after Christmas. He's looking forward to the next election to take on the Kids First majority no matter if it's in April or November.
Frank Raia and his "Independents for Education," slate swept the BoE election last April and tensions have risen since with Old Guard fixtures such as Michele Russo and political operatives going to meetings and openly stating they are looking forward to overturning Kids First and replacing the newly hired superintendent Dr. Mark Toback.
Commenting on a potential move to a November election, Raia spoke matter of fact against the move saying, "I think it will be totally chaos if they move it. The county's picking up the cost, but I hear there may be two different machines... so they'll be spending the same money."
Speaking on the potential for a November election, something Raia opposed earlier for the City Council financing that referendum against the move, he added, "They (Kids First) have to live with what they do. Are we better off now then we were three years ago (pre-KF majority)? It's not and no one believes it."
The State has notified BoE's across New Jersey they should approve a move by February 17th to ensure a smooth transition to a November election and suggested boards take advantage of the savings and increased voter participation with a November election.
The BoE election is designated non-partisan and will be located on a different section of the November ballot for this presidential year. Existing terms would be extended to January of 2013.
While a November election is anticipated to pose a bigger challenge of voters to any Raia backed slate, the perennial candidate and former BoE commissioner added he was not concerned, "We're going to win. Not because we're good, but because they're bad."

So here I am, playing vs bots just minding my own business. I tried out all the other mods but blitzkrieg is simply better suited for slapping some AI. Yet, I have some questions that needeth be answereth.
1) How do I mod this bad boi. I tried some tutorials with corsex or whatever it's called and every time I open the mod it stops loading at 'loading GUI' or something like that.
2) Why is infantry so expensive/support not expensive enough and tanks just outright cheap? The ease of maching gunning infantry seems to make them rather expensive to field, I was actually hoping to decrease infantry unit costs because why make them when u can spam MGs?
3) If I cannot do it myself, is there anybody I can beg to to some modding regarding this issue.
Regards, some noobguy who comes back to this mod every other year.

Re: State of mod
I can't help u with corsix, but regarding the inf price the answer is simple. The use of infantry in PvP and PvAI games is entirely different. In pvp assault inf units (like rangers, grenadiers or elite inf) is much more valuable because there are much more many "inf duels" rather than in PvsAI where basicaly u just try to defend against hordes of enemies. The point is the difference in the style of the game.

Mystery crapper comes a cropper
Too stool for school as log jogger gets case of the runs
A phantom plopper was literally caught with his pants down after New Jersey cops arrested a top education chief in the act of dropping the kids off... just not at the pool.
Thomas Tramaglini, a school superintendent at Kenilworth, was detained after investigators conducted a sting operation to snare the secret shitter on a high school running track.
The school was alerted after staff and coaches found fresh logs, dumped on a daily basis, on or near the area of the High School track/football field, the Holmdel Township Police Department said in a statement.
Kenilworth Public School said Tramaglini had asked for and was granted a paid leave of absence. Leaves can only be without pay in the face of indictments or tenure charges, as a matter of state law, the police added.
No explanation has been given as to why Tramaglini apparently did not use toilet facilities provided by the school, but El Reg guesses that when you've gotta go, you've gotta go.
It has not been the only incident of phantom poo flingers in recent years: lets not forget the case of the mystery golf-course crapper, known for his infamous hole in number twos. Or for the forecourt fouler caught by a Dublin shopkeeper.
And at the other end of the scatological spectrum was the case of the poo-hoarder: an ex-pat German Apple worker who stored three months' worth of his own excrement and urine in his luxury apartment has been given a year's worth of porridge by an Irish court.
And in an even more recent case, a suspected drug dealer refused to defecate for 46 days after being arrested and held on bail while the cops waited for him to excrete the alleged evidence. ®

Connersville, Indiana
Community Information
In the early 20th century, Connersville was known as "Little Detroit" because of its importance to the automobile industry. At one time the Auburn, Cord, Lexington and McFarlan cars were made here. The city has also been nicknamed the "City of Industry", and the "City of Champions".
Just as you cross into Fayette County in southeastern Indiana's scenic Whitewater Valley, you'll enter Connersville, the county seat. 15,400 residents make this one of southern Indiana's biggest cities, although at 8 miles wide you can't get lost. Residents claim Connersville is a small town with a big heart and heritage and its warm and inviting city invites you to linger awhile. It's named for settler and fur trader John Conner.
Connersville is located at the intersection of Indiana Rt. 1 and Rt. 44. Amtrak trains provides service to Connersville enroute to either Chicago or Cincinnati.
Fayette Memorial Hospital provides for the needs of Connersville and Fayette County residents.
Residents from several nearby communities come to Connersville for shopping, but larger purchases may require a trip into Cincinnati or Indianapolis.
There's plenty to do in Connersville both indoors and out. Connersville is a stop on the Whitewater Valley Railroad, Indiana's longest scenic railroad and museum. A busy community center, several playgrounds and parks, a teen skate park and pool make for an active recreation area. Birders will enjoy the Mary Grady Bird Sanctuary; hikers will enjoy the Schraeder Weaver Nature Preserve. Golfers find their way to the Connersville Country Club, and history buffs can check out the Canal House and History Museum on the National Register of Historic Places. Boaters of course will find their way to nearby Brookville Lake, southern Indiana's recreation destination.

Bending, dunking, straightening. Climbing the ladder I craddle the roller so as not to let random paint droplets sprinkle the floor. Roll one coat up, roll a second coat side to side over it, finish this two foot square area by rolling down. Repeat. And repeat and... repeat... until cream covers green, eggshell covers pink and white covers caca-colored brown. Why anyone would paint a bathroom caca-colored brown is beyond me unless they had a permanent diarrhea problem.
Painting gives me an achy back, sore arms and the discovery that maybe I do have muscles. They are very latent but they exist, otherwise I wouldn't feel this excruciating pain more befitting of an 80-year old woman.
No pain no gain. After the last few days of painful painting, we have gained a better house. Or at least one we can live in now.
I'm Alicia Bien. Mr. Wonderful (aka my husband) and I are first time homeowners in Southern California. Here are some of our adventures fixing up a house while living in it, parenting a baby, coping with neighbors, and negotiating life in the married lane. Thanks for stopping by my sunny, funny blog!

Neighbor 1
This morning I ate my first breakfast in the kitchen; it was the best singed toast ever. Then I skedaddled out to the driveway for work. Yes! We have a driveway! Big enough to park two cars in! So long metered parking, street parking, parallel parking. I won't miss ya'.
Climbing into my car Harold stops me. He's our next door neighbor, a retired engineer who wears running shoes with marathoner arch support and knows the skinny on every man woman and cat within a five mile radius.
He tosses out a nonchalant wave and says, "You're the fifth couple in that house in six years."
"We'll be here longer than them."
"Let's talk again once you start working in it. You got a lot to do."
"We like the challenge," I said feeling my chin jut out.
"Uh-huh, welcome to the neighborhood," he said turning into his garage.
Welcome indeed. Harold, the challenge is on!

First Night
It's 1 AM and still 95 degrees, the house is full of boxes and I can't find my toothpaste. I put clean sheets on the mattress and crawl on top of the duvet. Mr. Wonderful joins me. We're going to sleep in Our House for the very first time. No more neighbors with shared walls, or landlords who change contracts, or gross rent increases. We're home in Our House. I look at him and kick my feet like I'm at an all-girl sleepover. We laugh and laugh and laugh.

Moving Day
Moving "Day" is a total misnomer. It took me two months to inform the world we were moving, three months to find the right boxes, and four months to pack. Nothing happens in a day, especially moving every one of your life's possessions from a rental apartment to your first house.
For our actual move, Mr. Wonderful and I went local. I called several Los Angeles-based companies and got price quotes for our in-town move. This shopping around proved invaluable because 1) I discovered the going rate to move a mere 10 minutes/five miles away; and 2) I learned we wanted movers who communicated with us. Of the companies I called one was unavailable, one's office number was disconnected and several others never bothered to return my voicemails. I know, how demanding, old-fashioned and just plain silly of me wanting a business to call me back to discuss me giving them my business. Get with the times, Girl!
In the end we chose a company who called us back and could move us on the date we wanted. Finally someone was speaking our language. Actually they didn't speak much of our language but they were fluent in Russian. Our moving crew consisted of a Muscovite, a Ukrainian and one Kazakhstani who had immigrated to the City of Angels just one month before. I only know one thing about Kazakhstan so I asked our mover if he knew that crazy Kazak reporter, "Borat" and his tour of America. Right about then the Kazak broke my grandmother's picture frame.
After that I decided to stop asking stupid questions and get out of the movers' way, which definitely helped because they finished loading the truck without breaking anything else. As the sun climbed pushing the temperature close to triple digits, these men from a region of the world where Siberia is a vacation destination and "summer" is a foreign concept, were visibly wilting in the Southern Californian sun. To offset the heat they gulped down a bottle of water for every five boxes they put on the truck; in other words 732 water bottles.
Driving his car Mr. Wonderful led the way out of our noisy rental neighborhood, which lay in the middle of the Burbank Airport flight path, to The House. The moving truck followed him while I took a detour to pick up a dozen sandwiches from Subway. By the time I arrived the driveway, kitchen and patio looked like a World War II depot had vomited boxes. Then the Kazak approached me with panic in his eyes.
"Wh- where restroom?" he said shifting his weight from foot to foot in a universally understandable jig.
I steered him to the room off the kitchen then joined the others schlepping box after box after box. Boxes labeled "living room", master bedroom" and "random junk I should have thrown out" soon filled the rooms.
Inside I bumped into the Kazak holding a box labeled "bathroom".
"Where I put?" he asked.
I steered him to the room he already knew located off the kitchen.
"No," he shook his head, "That 'restroom'. This go to 'bathroom'," he pointed to the label I'd written.
"Bathroom means restroom."
He tilted his head like a Terrier.
"They mean the same thing, they are the same thing," I said wiping the sweat from my brow.
"Two words for same thing?" he grimaced. "So not practical."
Practical? He's talking prac-tical!? I looked around: the place was littered with boxes of stuff I didn't need, a long scrape now ran across the whole wall of a freshly painted bedroom and our solid oak dining room table suddenly had two wobbly legs.
He's right! It completely impractical to pack up all your life's possessions, cart them to a new house, which you don't fully own but are borrowing from a bank and for the next twenty years and must spend every month paying back. Packing, moving and not breaking anything in the process are absolute impracticalities I never should have embarked upon. Turn back! I want to shout to Mr. Wonderful. I've changed my mind! This is too impractical, messy and disruptive for me!
"Excuse me—"
"What now?!" I wailed.
"The truck is empty," Mr. Wonderful said. "You hungry?"
With the movers I pulled together a couple random chairs in the back yard and laid out the Subway sandwiches and drinks. The sun shone, a gentle breeze rustled our palm trees, a mockingbird perked on the fence and sang his melodious repertoire. I didn't hear an airplane, or a truck not even a motorcycle.
The Kazak grabbed a turkey sandwich on focaccia bread and announced, "This good."
I looked at the stacked boxes pouring out of the rooms like a disaster zone. I saw all the work we had to do just to make a cup of coffee.
"Yes," I said looking at our first house, "It's very good."

Pool BEFORE and AFTER
Here's the pool BEFORE--on the day we first saw The House. It was filthy gross and looked like the home of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Here's the pool AFTER it was drained, cleaned and refilled. Ahhh, the power of a good scrub and a shock of chlorine.
The pool was built in the 1940s by a swim teacher who used it to teach swim classes. Even today it's a joy to swim in--long and wide.

We Got The House!
The day we "closed on The House"—in other words the day we promised everyone from the bank, seller, realtor, insurance agent, title company and Chinese traveling circus that we would spend the next 20 years paying for it—we got the keys.
After work I stopped at our apartment, picked up a bottle of chilled bubbly then rendez-vous'ed with Mr. Wonderful at The House.
"You do the honors," he said handing me the keys.
Odd, they felt light and inconsequential in my palm. Yet these thin pieces of metal were moving us into a new chapter of our lives—from renters to first-time homeowners; from hunters and gatherers to stationary farmers; from a devil may care couple dropping all garbage into the apartment dumpster to Dang! These devils really care about sorting paper and plastic from watermelon rinds and coffee grounds.
I put the key in the lock and turned. The door swung wide and we stepped into the cold emptiness. The night's darkness masked the dirt on the floors and the garish paint on the walls letting me momentarily forget about all the work this House needed before we could move in. With a flashlight I walked into each room imagining: here's where we'll eat, where we'll sleep, where we'll Google kitten videos on Youtube.
I opened the French doors and set up two folding chairs by the pool whose still water was bathed in moonlight. Mr. Wonderful popped the cork on the bubbles and poured it into two coffee mugs, one chipped and one with "Elvis!" blazoned across it.
"Congratulations," I said toasting us with my King mug. Sipping I watched the blinking lights of planes passing in the inky distance and wondered what city—or far away country—that plane was going to and—
The champagne bottle pierced the placid surface of the pool and broke my traveling reverie. The green bottle bobbed in the water like a buoy on a choppy sea, the rings of waves rippling out from it like the endless embrace of parentheses. Surprised, I turned to Mr. Wonderful.
"They christen boats," he shrugged. "I just christened our pool."
Let the plane go where it will, let the passengers wander the world, I'm staying here and putting down roots with this man in Our House.
Champagne never tasted so good.

Master Bedroom--BEFORE--with the Green Painted Walls
This is how we covered the green walls--with one coat of white and two coats of cream. It was a lot of painting but now the green is history!

Parlez-vous Escrow?
Once the seller accepts your offer to buy the house, you enter a 30-day period known as "escrow". In these four weeks you hire electricians, plumbers and chimney specialists to inspect the house and all of them tell you 101 reasons not to buy it. The roof needs repair, the foundation isn't bolted, the property sits in the middle of a flood plain/earthquake/iceberg zone.
If finding the house with a realtor is like falling in love with a guy, escrow is like meeting that guy's friends who tell you all the horrible things he does, has done and may possibly do again. So if you decide to go ahead and marry him don't say you weren't warned by the specialists! Escrow only ends when you accept a house's imperfections, hold your nose and close the deal on it anyway. They make it official by recording your name on the house's title, which you can't see unless you pay for a copy. Paying people money during escrow is as easy as taking candy from a baby. You walked in the house, that'll cost you $125. You breathed in the house, that'll be $125. You "thought" of the house, fork over $200.
For most homebuyers 30 days of escrow is all the time you get to make the single biggest purchase of your entire life. But 30 days is all you need because a house "For Sale" is a house that someone wants to get rid of.
Or at least that's how it used to be. Things have changed since the housing market meltdown.
In the case of The House with the green bedroom walls and pool that Mr. Wonderful and I wanted to buy, our escrow lasted three times that—three very long months. Just when we thought we'd close "this week", the seller would call asking to extend escrow for another seven, 14, 30 days. The seller requested the extensions for one reason: the house could not be sold.
According to official records, The House had sat vacant for 18 months during which time it racked up violations with the city that had to be amended before it could be sold. The violations included "mow the lawn", "trim the hedges", "fence the backyard".
Mr. W. and I prepared to take a weed wacker to the front yard but Thelma stopped us saying since we didn't own the house, we couldn't cut a blade of grass nor rake an unruly palm tree leaf. That work was to be done by the seller.
Meanwhile the bank that was lending us the money for our loan was tired of waiting and threatened to increase our mortgage rate if we did not close by the end of the third month. Trapped between a lazy seller and an antsy lending bank, we did the only thing we could: we went looking for another house.
On the theMLS.com I found a two bedroom, two bath in tip-top, turn-key shape with a huge yard without a pool. Mr. Wonderful and I went to see it during its open house and we liked it. We called Thelma and told her to remove our offer from The House we loved and put an offer in on this new house we liked.
"What?" Her voiced bellowed over the speakerphone. "I thought you wanted that fixer upper with the green walls? That you were going to make it beautiful?"
"The seller isn't serious about removing the violations, so we can't buy it. Besides you called us idiots for wanting to buy that house and apparently you were right."
"Everyone who buys a house in this market is an idiot. The process turns you into an idiot."
"Thelma, we just can't wait forever."
"I'll call you back," she said and hung up.
I don't know who she called or what she said but by the end of the month, the lawn was cut, the papers were signed and our escrow ended.
Finally The House belonged to us idiots!

Finding "The House"
Mr. Wonderful and I first saw "The House" in late December.
Let me be more specific, Mr. Wonderful is my husband and he's just that, awesome. The day was December 26th when the excitement of Christmas, Santa and receiving gifts is a daily expectation. And "The House" was a one-story with chipping paint, overgrown lawn and a tilting "For Sale" sign wedged in the front yard.
We peeked in the windows. It was filthy, in disrepair and covered in ivy, which had grow up, over and into the chimney so thickly you'd need a blowtorch to remove it. But the house had some things going for it like an open floor plan, a large kitchen and a pool! I was in love.
The best part though was the sale price, which shockingly, was within our budget.
I called our Realtor, a woman with a florescent white smile and bottle blond hair who insisted on wearing sensible shoes. Thelma removed the keys from the lockbox and swung the door open. We stepped inside The House.
"It needs a lot of cleaning," she said sniffing the air. "And fixing." She entered the master bedroom and shrieked. Mr. Wonderful and I raced in to find her staring at the walls.
"They're… green!"
"They're… green!"
"We know," I said.
"Lime green and forest green together, which some colorblind fool applied with a sponge--"
"We know."
"Which makes this the ugliest bedroom I've seen in 30 years of being a realtor."
"We want to buy it."
"This house? Absolutely not."
"It has a pool."
"Which is empty and might not even hold water."
"We like the kitchen."
"I wouldn't let my daughter cook in that kitchen, not to mention enter this house!"
"We can afford it," I said.
"Because it's a dump and needs serious help." Thelma crossed her arms and shook her head. "No way. I won't let you buy it."
I looked at Mr. Wonderful. Could we buy this house and fix it up while living in it? He nodded and smiled. Yes, we can.
"You're right, Thelma," I said, "This place is a dump but we can repair it, we can make it beautiful. We want it. So will you help us, or not?"
Thelma's sensible shoe tapped on the wood floor while she looked at the green bedroom with disgust. "Fine, I'll do it."
"Thank you!" I hugged, then I embraced Mr. Wonderful.
"I can't decide about you two," Thelma said. "Either you have major vision or you're complete idiots."
I didn't realize how prophetic her words would be.

One of the many reasons I love homeschooling is the ability to tap into your children's current interests and create learning opportunities. It's so interesting to watch the obsessions and interests come and go. One minute, it's history, then it's chemistry, then maps, then it's poetry, then it's a certain book.
Well, right now, it's birds.
We spend our mornings at our kitchen island, learning together.
One of our favorite bits of curriculum right now is Exploring Nature with Children. We are having so much fun with it that I'm planning on writing a post. Stay tuned, folks.
Anyway… several weeks ago, as part of our Exploring Nature with Children lesson, we created a "bird feeding station" just outside our kitchen window. We made all sorts of different bird feeders and hung them on the trees like Christmas ornaments.
The birds LOVED our feeding station, and so did the squirrels.
Every morning, as we learn at our kitchen island, we watch the birds and squirrels. When the feeding station gets low, we make more feeders.
Recently, we made Valentine's Day themed bird cookies to hang in our bird feeding station. Today, I'd like to share the recipe with you!
Valentine's Day Bird Cookies
These bird cookies are super easy to make and can be adapted for any holiday.
Ingredients & Materials:
2 cups birdseed of your choice
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
ribbon or twine
plastic straws, cut into short pieces
wax paper
- Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
- Place a sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet.
- Place cookie cutters on the wax paper.
- Fill each cookie cutter with the bird seed/gelatin mixture.
- Place a straw piece, in each cookie (this will be the hole for the ribbon).
- Dry overnight.
- Once dry, remove straw pieces and string each cookie with ribbon or twine.
- Hang on tree limbs and enjoy!
Want to see one of our squirrels battle a Ninja Gnome, complete with kid belly laughter?
So we won a Ninja Garden Gnome in a Yankee Swap and didn't know what to do with it… until we thought to hang bird cookies on him.
Folks, this never gets old:
Do your kids love birds, too? Here are five of our favorite resources at the moment!
- Exploring Nature with Children: A Complete Year-Long Curriculum by Lynn Seddon
- Bird Bingo
- Handbook of Nature Study
- The Burgess Bird Book for Children
- DIY Nature Explorer Pack
Now, it's your turn. Tell me: What are your kids interested in at the moment? What is your favorite bird resource? Share here!

- Publishers can monitor the performance of each post based on the interest tags specified
Facebook is seeking to help publishers with the ever-shortening attention spans of their followers by providing the tools to build better relationships with their customers. This, coupled with the recent additions to Facebook Messenger for business, and there's no question why Facebook stays at the top of social media updates all the time.
Why Facebook Audience Optimization Tools Are Important
Facebook has 1.59 billion active users in any given month. The Facebook Audience Optimization tools are aiming to target engagement rather than reach. That is a much more SEO-like approach. So when you hear the experts talk about social media and SEO going hand in hand, it is ringing more true than ever in Facebook news.
Anything that helps you know, focus on, and target your Facebook audience more effectively is worth your attention. You may not always use such tools, but you should stay on top of social media updates for this type of news to see if it is useful to you. When we are talking about being able to target your audience based on filtered criteria like interest, location, language, and gender, that is huge. That means that Facebook is only going to show that specific post to people who meet criteria that you control.
How to Access Facebook Audience Optimization Tools
The only other place I've managed to find this information is on Facebook's blog on this topic, so let's get to how this whole thing works. They tried the tool initially with a few big media players, like The New York Times and MTV, who actually saw more engagement than normal.
To access the Facebook Audience Optimization tools:
- Go to your business Facebook Page.
- In the top-right corner, click Settings.
- Click the General tab in the left navigation.
- Click Edit beside Audience Optimization for Posts.
- Click the checkbox and the Save Changes button to being using Facebook Audience Optimization tools.
Now you will see the tool added to the following areas of Facebook:
- Page post composer
- Graph API
- Third party publishing tools
- Instant Articles
Additional Information On The New Facebook Audience Tools
These new Facebook Audience Optimization tools replace the old Interest Targeting tool from before. In tests, the tool has proven to drive engagement upward while the organic reach of a post stays about the same, so it's a limited boost to the previous limits on organic results.
When using interest tags with your content, the maximum number is 16, but Facebook suggests only utilizing between 6 and 10. The new Facebook Audience tools aren't currently available on mobile. They must be accessed using the desktop website. It is also not currently available in languages other than English and Facebook has no plan to expand it linguistically at this time. Should you decide to boost a post where you've used the Facebook Audience Optimization Tools, this will work as a regular ad and your settings and interest tags will not affect it.
If you want to learn more about how to best use the Facebook Audience Optimization tools, check out their Best Practices page.
Wrap Up
I really like to hit the source for information about new features like this and Facebook always does a nice job of explaining things and providing customer support. I recommend that you try pretty much anything Facebook puts out to help businesses because it's usually really great stuff. Let me hear from you in the comments about how you're using these new Facebook Audience tools with your pages.

About the artist:
Bio: My name is Gennady, I am 32. I was born and raised in Russia, Saint-Petersburg and since I am 17 I do pargeting. From the very beginning it was not just a hobby for me, it was something I did for a living. With time I delved into the area deeper and deeper, studying different materials and their application techniques. I worked with colors, color matching and came up with new ways of covering, sometimes combining the opposites. When I became 30, I realized that I've reached a respectively high level in pargeting and that I need something bigger. I wanted to do more complex and highly artistic works, where I can actually use all of my experience earned through the years, open up fully and free all of my artistic potential. That's how I came to painting pictures. Understanding that due to lack of classical art education I cannot compete with maitres of classical painting, I've started studying modern art by myself, which gave me the understanding of our time. To my mind, people today are ready for new genres, styles, forms and philosophy. And thus I've started to craft my own style, which I named "Neodeco". This style is based on simple and clear forms, which appear in new designer understanding of color, through the use of unusual materials. Most of my works are made with decorative materials, which you cannot buy in an art shop - it can be textile (velvet, silk) or metallic paint and materials and complex texture covered with lacquer and thus. For this very reason i do not use brushes, my basic instrument is the spatula. Also in my works I use the contrast of mat and glazed or chrome surfaces on a single canvas. There are no hidden meanings in my paintings: sometimes it is a complete abstraction, sometimes it is a motive with one general object. I do what I love and I do my best for it to be interesting. I believe that for the long years of working with colors and textures I can show the beauty as it has not been seen before. It's been said that the sky is the limit, but I just want to go farther than the others.

Whether mortality rates among diabetic adults or excess mortality associated with diabetes in the United States has declined in recent decades is not known.
To examine whether all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality rates have declined among the U.S. population with and without self-reported diabetes.
Comparison of 3 consecutive, nationally representative cohorts.
Population-based health surveys (National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys I, II, and III) with mortality follow-up assessment.
Survey participants age 35 to 74 years with and without diabetes.
Diabetes was determined by self-report for each survey (1971–1975, 1976–1980, and 1988–1994), and mortality rates were determined through 1986, 1992, and 2000 for the 3 surveys, respectively.
Among diabetic men, the all-cause mortality rate decreased by 18.2 annual deaths per 1000 persons (from 42.6 to 24.4 annual deaths per 1000 persons; P = 0.03) between 1971 to 1986 and 1988 to 2000, accompanying decreases in the nondiabetic population. Trends for cardiovascular disease mortality paralleled those of all-cause mortality, with 26.4 annual deaths per 1000 persons in 1971 to 1986 and 12.8 annual deaths per 1000 persons in 1988 to 2000 (P = 0.06). Among women with diabetes, however, neither all-cause nor cardiovascular disease mortality declined between 1971 to 1986 and 1988 to 2000, and the all-cause mortality rate difference between diabetic and nondiabetic women more than doubled (from a difference of 8.3 to 18.2 annual deaths per 1000 persons). The difference in all-cause mortality rates by sex among people with diabetes in 1971 to 1986 were essentially eliminated in 1988 to 2000.
Diabetes was assessed by self-report, and statistical power to examine the factors explaining mortality trends was limited.
Progress in reducing mortality rates among persons with diabetes has been limited to men. Diabetes continues to greatly increase the risk for death, particularly among women.
Whether the mortality reductions observed over recent decades in the United States have been similar among diabetic and nondiabetic persons is unknown.
The 1971–2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys and vital statistics data reveal higher mortality in the diabetic population than in the nondiabetic population. Over this period, diabetic men experienced mortality reductions that paralleled those of nondiabetic men. However, mortality rates in women have not changed, and the mortality difference between diabetic and nondiabetic women more than doubled.
Mortality among diabetic women does not reflect improvements in the care of diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors. Understanding the sex differences in diabetes outcomes should be a research priority.

Medal record
Darrell Robinson (born December 23, 1963) is an American former track and field athlete who specialized in the 400-meter dash. He set a US high school of 44.69 seconds in the 400 m at the age of 18. Just off the world junior record of 43.87 by Steve Lewis in the 1988 Olympic games. He was in the world's top-five 400 m runners in 1985 and 1986. He won a bronze medal at the 1986 Goodwill Games, and won races at numerous high-profile track meetings.
In 1989 he accused Carl Lewis, Florence Griffith-Joyner, and Bob Kersee (among others) of using or distributing performance-enhancing drugs. The accusations, which were never substantiated, brought an end to his career at the age of 25.
Early life[edit]
While attending Woodrow Wilson High School in Tacoma, Washington, Robinson ran a United States high school record of 44.69 seconds in the 400 m at the age of eighteen. This mark, set at the 1982 National Sports Festival in Indianapolis, was also a world junior record for the distance.[1][2] Furthermore, his time was the second fastest 400 m run by any athlete that year, one-hundredth behind Sunder Nix who had beaten him in the race.[3] He also received the Governor's Trophy for Outstanding Male Athlete for his performance in the 400 m at the Golden West Invitational that year.[4] He was Track and Field News "High School Athlete of the Year" in 1982.[5]
Robinson went on to study at the University of Houston, but he left after the sprint coach who recruited him resigned. After a short stint at the University of Washington, he went to UCLA in mid-1985, majoring in music.[6] He missed making the final of the 1984 Olympic Trials, finishing 6th in the semis.[7]
Breakthrough season[edit]
In 1985, Robinson ran a season's best of 44.71 seconds to finish behind Innocent Egbunike in Los Angeles – a time which ranked him as the fifth fastest 400 m runner that year.[8] He began training with Chuck DeBus and 1986 proved to be a breakthrough for Robinson. He competed at the Mt. SAC Relays in early May and recorded 20.41 seconds over 200 meters. He joined a strong 400 m line-up at the Pepsi Invitational later that month, which also featured Gabriel Tiacoh, Antonio McKay, Michael Franks and Egbunike, and all were intent on breaking Alberto Juantorena's time of 44.26 (the fastest run at sea-level). Robinson led over the first 200 m at a world-record-pace of 21.4 seconds. However, Tiacoh managed to overhaul him in the last straight, but Robinson's time of 44.45 seconds to finish as runner-up was a still personal record.[9] The race was the quickest that year, and Tiacoh and Robinson's times ranked them first and second on the season's lists, respectively.[3]
He went on to win at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon later that summer, winning the race in a time of 44.47 seconds.[10] Next came the inaugural 1986 Goodwill Games and he won the 400 m bronze medal behind compatriots McKay and Clarence Daniel.[11] Robinson took on an intensive schedule on the European track and field circuit during the months of August and September that year. He ran a number of sub-45 second times and won races at: the Weltklasse Zürich meeting (44.69), the ISTAF meet in Berlin (44.86),[12] the Memorial Van Damme in Brussels (44.82),[13] and Athletissima in Lausanne (44.96). His winning streak was brought to a halt at the London Grand Prix, where he and Andre Phillips both ran 45.00 seconds, but Phillips was awarded the victory. He closed his season with another 400 m win in 45.15 seconds at a meeting in Tokyo in mid-September.[8]
Accusations of drug use[edit]
Robinson did not compete in 1987, but he returned in mid-1988 and recorded a time of 44.99 seconds in Indianapolis and ran 45.11 seconds for fourth place in Athens, Greece, behind Roberto Hernández of Cuba.[8] But for a second time he failed to get to the finals of the Olympic Trials, despite having the 7th best time in the semi-final round (he finished 5th in his heat when four in each semi went to the final).[7]
In late 1989, Robinson gave an interview with Stern in West Germany accusing a number of figures in American track and field of using and distributing performance-enhancing drugs.[14] In October, The Athletics Congress (later USA Track & Field) had allowed the voluntary resignation of Robinson's former coach Chuck DeBus for giving banned substances to his athletes. Robinson said in Stern that, while staying at his house in 1982, he had seen Carl Lewis inject himself with a white fluid – what he believed to be testosterone. Furthermore, he said he had seen Tom Tellez (Lewis' coach) distribute blue pills to his athletes and claimed that these were banned steroids. Robinson had begun training with Bob Kersee in 1987 and he claimed that the coach had advised him on steroid use and given him two types of tablets; oxandrolone and metandienone. Robinson also claimed that he had personally sold a 10-cubic centimetre vial of human growth hormone to Florence Griffith-Joyner in March 1988, just months before she ran two world records and won an Olympic gold medal.[15]
Lewis levelled a libel suit worth US$182 million against the German magazine in December 1989.[16] Griffith-Joyner, Tellez and Bob Kersee denied the claims, but Florence Griffith-Joyner did not issue legal proceedings.[17] The accused questioned Robinson's motives in that he received $50,000 for the interview with Stern, as well as $10,000 for appearing on Today on NBC to discuss the matter. Robinson was also close friends with Charlie Francis – the former coach of Ben Johnson.[15]
The accusations brought about the end of Robinson's career at the age of 25 as he was largely blacklisted by promoters on the European track circuit. In spite of this, he stood by the statements he had made in his interviews. His personal life grew increasingly difficult after his retirement. One of his children was beaten to death by the mother and when his daughter, by another woman, moved to Canada he was blocked from seeing her. An attempt to take his daughter back to the United States resulted in charges for assault and abduction, and he served five months in jail. He began seeing a psychiatrist in Tacoma, but twice attempted suicide in 1996. He married former US skier Lisl Hager in the late 1990s and retreated from public life, refusing to take calls from the press and asking to be left alone.[18]

Peanut Butter Squares with Milk Chocolate and Oats
A lot of people loved these peanut butter squares - I think due to the crazy yummy peanut butter icing (which is really similar to the icing used on the Elvis fluffernutter cake I made last year). The bar itself was okay. Overall, the square was just okay for me - which was kind of a disappointment because the recipe comes from the Rebar cookbook (a personal favourite) but since lots of others liked it (and asked for the recipe) I'm sharing it with you. I think the squares would be good with no icing, and with added coconut and maybe peanut butter chips.
The background of these photos looks so blue (whereas it should be more white-ish) - anyone know how I can fix this (ie. with Adobe)?
If this sounds good, you might like:

Peanut Butter Squares with Milk Chocolate and Oats
Adapted from Rebar: Modern Food Cookbook
Makes 12 squares
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup unbleached flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz (120 g) milk chocolate, chopped into large chunks
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tbsp soft butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup icing sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease an 8" x 8" pan and set aside. Cream together the butter, sugars and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
2. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add this to the butter/peanut butter mix and stir well. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Spread into the prepared pan and bake 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. Prepare the icing by creaming together the peanut butter, butter and vanilla. Blend in icing sugar. Stir in cream until you get a nice spreading consistency, using more if necessary.
4. Cut into 12 squares.

Last week went pretty smoothly. I didn't make the won ton tacos because I had less leftovers than I had anticipated. I also ended up making bourbon chicken (watch for that recipe this week) and fried rice. It's one of Martijn's favorite meals and he was having a bit of stress so I thought he'd enjoy it.
This week:
Quinoa Mushroom Soup and Melt Sandwiches- I have this bag of quinoa that's been sitting on the shelves for months. I look at it and put it back but THIS WEEK I SHALL CONQUER THE QUINOA!
Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce (recipe is in Dutch)- This has both broccoli and tuna fish in it and as luck would have it both broccoli and tuna fish are on sale this week! I'm going to leave out the capers though, I really find them dreadful.
Fabulous Freezer Chicken Drumsticks - I have some of these in the freezer from the last time I made them.
Chicken a la Mayo - I'm going to try this but sub yogurt for part of the mayo.
Fish Sloppy Joes - We haven't had these for quite a while and they sound tasty.
I'm not sure if Martijn will be having his not-always-but-usually-weekly
dinner this week and if he doesn't we'll probably add on something easy
like roasted chicken wings.
I'm really terrible with planning side dishes. I usually toss in a steamed veggie of some kind, but I'd love to hear what your favorite (easy is a plus too) side dishes are. I need to stash some ideas in my recipe files!

Metaphysical Education – Learning Greater Philosophies
Find Metaphysical Education within the U . s . States and Canada. Have you ever wanted to discover the paranormal or about universal laws and regulations, then attaining your metaphysical education is the initial step to gaining greater awareness, transformational perspectives and spiritual understanding.
Most metaphysical education platforms are centered on a number of courses of study. For instance, if you are drawn to energy healing, then some metaphysical teaching programs involve studies in Reiki, touch therapy, chakra balancing, meridian therapy, channeling, distance healing, visualization techniques, art therapy, automatic writing, color and seem healing, very healing, singing bowels and lots of other innovative types of energy medicine.
Other metaphysical education classes are more secular anyway and involve spiritual studies in theology, spiritualism, rites of passage, shamanism, spiritual journeying, backwoods vision quests, sweat lodges, Native American events, and learning "A Training Course in Miracles," pastoral counseling, ministry and much more.
Some metaphysical teaching programs involve supernatural teachings in parapsychology, EVP (electronic voice phenomena), ESP (extra-physical perception), clairvoyance, clairaudience, and intuitive psychic. Other interesting subjects of study during these metaphysical education courses may entail learning dowsing (utilizing a divining fishing rod to locate water), dream interpretation, telekinesis, time travel, remote viewing yet others.
Overall, metaphysical education introduces students to greater awareness and philosophy. It enables students to start to know universal laws and regulations of human instinct and also the rules of Karma and intuitive awareness. It's also an excellent understanding path toward increased spiritual, mental and emotional growth. Whether one decides to learn the skill of card lounging, tea leaf studying or just really wants to gain mental clearness around the globe by which s/he lives, metaphysical education in any kind of several alternative schools could possibly be the answer to unlocking minds, inner peace and private transformation.

Gum Disease, Elderly Patients, and Aspiration Pneumonia, the common risk factors
Aspiration pneumonia is recognized as a major geriatric health problem. Many elderly patients in nursing home care are especially at risk. Colonization of Gram-negative bacteria found in the mouth where gum disease (periodontal disease) is present, has also been associated with aspiration pneumonia. All too often, the elderly patient and nursing home patient does not have routine oral health care and cleanings for many reasons.
The bacteria that accumulates in the mouth multiplies and colonizes. These bacteria then can be aspirated into the lungs with coughing and breathing through the mouth while sleeping as the salivary flow seeps into the lungs. During sleep, the swallowing reflex weakens, especially in the elderly and those with decreased activities of daily living such as bedridden. For those family members with decreased physical limitations, swabbing the oral cavity with Chlorhexidine (a prescription antimicrobial liquid rinse) every 24 hours has been proven to decrease pneumonia induced problems. For the patient who has dentures, it is equally important to remove them daily, swab the inside of the mouth with a cleanser, and disinfect the dentures of bacteria and food debris that has accumulated. Oral Health effects Systemic Health and this is why every one of all ages should have routine dental cleanings, oral cancer screenings; in and around the mouth, and under dentures, to promote a healthier lifestyle and a decreased risk of infection.

What's the deal with distributed manufacturing?
Last week, the digital business publication Quartz hosted a talk about 3D printing, with a discussion panel made up of Lizbeth Arum from Makerbot, Duann Scott from Shapeways, Matthew Griffin from Adafruit, and Joergen Geerds of Freedom360.us. Quartz writer Christopher Mims moderated the conversation.
The talk in many ways was a primer on the uses of 3D printing and an outline of the challenges facing its development. One of the most interesting conversation points surrounded how the internet serves as a distribution platform for designs that can be put into production from anywhere with access to a 3D printer. "This distribution platform allows anyone to share their designs," said Griffin. Geerds added that sharing ideas also encourages users to modify designs--either to improve them or to customize them.
Christopher Mims has written about distributed manufacturing both as it applies to 3D printers, and older technologies like CNC Milling. We asked him to give the basic run down:
Lloyd's readers are likely to be familiar with the idea of "downloadable design," which advocates sharing ideas, blueprints and designs across the internet to be made locally. Why move stuff when you can move ideas? Some great examples of downloadable designs and distributed manufacturing already on the market are AtFAB furniture and FACIT homes.
