Learn everything about Turkish Coffee cups!
Turkish Coffee Cups
Turkish Coffee Cups are specially designed cups to keep the heat of coffee while drinking. They are very similar to an espresso cup in size & shape, but have specific characteristics to apart them from a regular espresso cup.
Types of Turkish Coffee Cups & General Usage Information
Turkish Coffee Cups can be used for both daily purposes and on special occasions. For the daily purposes, the cups are designed plain and simple. Since daily usage Turkish Coffee Cups are simple and affordable, they are also pretty easy to take care of. Most of the regular Turkish Coffee Cups are dishwasher safe, and easily replaceable.
In every Turkish Household, there is probably at least one set of special, mostly handcrafted, and more expensive Turkish Coffee Cups. Since the main purpose of Turkish Coffee is to gather people and spend time with families, friends, using a higher quality set of cups show the value you give to your guests, in Turkish Culture. Those handcrafted, fancy and ornamental cups can be used for special occasions. In Turkey, serving with nice cups mean a lot, it is almost the best way to show your hospitality.
How to Choose the Right Turkish Coffee Cups
Before making a decision, you should ask yourself couple of questions in order to determine the right coffee set. Do you drink coffee frequently or rarely? Do you like to drink alone or with friends? The answers will definitely help you to make the right decision.
As mentioned above, the sets which are fancy, handcrafted are not for daily use because they need special care. If you use an expensive, handcrafted set of Turkish Coffee Cups frequently, they might get damaged easily due to cleaning and the handcrafts on the cups might tear off quickly. Therefore, if you drink only special occasions you may buy those fancy cups. However, there is no rigid rule on buying those cups. You can go with whatever you want, it is all up to you. Here are some pictures of both affordable, factory made cups & more expensive, hand made Turkish Coffee Cups.
How to clean Turkish Coffee Cups?
After choosing the right cup set, and making delicious Turkish Coffee with the fresh Turkish Coffee beans, the last step is to learn how to clean them. For the daily use cups which are plain, no polish, handcraft on it, you can put them in the dishwasher just like you treat other kitchen tools. If you have the fancy ones, then you have to hand wash them with warm water (do not wash them with hot water because it takes out all the polish and sparkling). After washing, you can either let it dry or you may use paper towels. It's that simple.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Al Franken? Seriously! Ba dum bum. By now, we all know the tale of the onetime comedian whose Senate campaign, once a late-night punch line, looks increasingly like a winner. But here's something even more funny/serious/fascinating/all of the above: Sen. Jim Martin. Sen. Kay Hagan. Or, how about this one: Sen. Bruce Lunsford!
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Over the past week, a wave of momentum has swept across a slew of second-tier Senate races, lifting Democratic long shots, most of them in the Deep South, who are challenging Republican big shots. Laugh if you will, but those long shots could provide their party with the nine-seat gain they need to reach the big 6-0.
Who are these masked crusaders?
They hail, for one thing, from a different political class than the existing top tier of Democrats, which consists of two former governors (Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Mark Warner of Virginia), two longtime congressmen from an established political family (Tom Udall of New Mexico and Mark Udall of Colorado) and a mayor of his state's largest city (Mark Begich of Alaska).
In Georgia, for example, Sen. Saxby Chambliss suddenly faces a real threat from Martin, a cerebral attorney who racked up a liberal voting record over 26 years in the state legislature and has all the personal flair that his name would imply. And yet, before Democrats had even made a serious investment, recent polls said Martin had pulled even with Chambliss.
Chambliss last week became the first Senate incumbent to run a TV ad defending his support for the $700 billion bailout bill. Martin calls that vote "just wrong" and this week launched his own TV ad with this tagline: "Saxby Economics: At the root of the problem." Of course, six years ago, Chambliss won an upset victory of his own with an attack ad citing unpopular votes by then-Sen. Max Cleland against creating the Department of Homeland Security to suggest that Cleland, who had lost three of his limbs in the Vietnam War, was soft on terror. Surely, Cleland is watching this race, and laughing.
MySpace-msnbc.com Decision '08But the real threat for vulnerable Republicans isn't the bailout bill. It's the other "B" word: Bush. On Tuesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution backed Martin with an endorsement that read more like criticism of Chambliss, who editors said "has built a reputation as a loyal defender of President Bush and his policies." Even in Georgia these days, those are fighting words.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina, life has grown so dire for Sen. Elizabeth Dole that she recently was forced to open her own wallet to defend herself against attacks from Democrat Kay Hagan and her Senate allies. "There just comes a point when you feel like you need to put some skin in the game," Dole explained last weekend.
Dole's "skin" notwithstanding, her comment rekindled fond memories of her 2000 presidential bid, when her husband, Bob, threatened to write a check to her then-rival, his old friend John McCain. Hopefully Bob Dole hasn't put too deep a dent in their personal campaign kitty this year.
On the stump, Lunsford is wooden (one Lexington newspaper columnist calls him "Clunksford"). Nonetheless, this race is also now a dead heat.
Even in Mississippi, where Democrats haven't won a Senate seat in a quarter-century, Republicans are nervous. Sen. Roger Wicker will probably prevail, but voters can be forgiven if they confuse Wicker with his Democratic rival, Ronnie Musgrove. The two 50-something, bespectacled, white-haired politicians could easily be mistaken for identical twins.
But fear not, Republicans. All is not doom and gloom for your Senate candidates, or for John McCain. There's still one Republican out there hoping to take advantage of the McCain Mania surging like wildfire across his state. During a televised debate last weekend in Baton Rouge, Republican challenger John Kennedy repeatedly tried to tie Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu to Barack Obamaand played up his own ties to McCain.
"I know you are trying very hard," Landrieu shot back, her voice dripping with "bless your heart" condescension. "But Senator McCain's coattails are not long enough for you."
"McCain's coattails"? OK, now that's funny.

altmetrics in education
Altmetrics: A Practical Guide for Librarians, Researchers and Academics
In scholarly and scientific publishing, altmetrics are non-traditional metrics[2] proposed as an alternative[3] to more traditional citation impact metrics, such as impact factor and h-index.[4] The term altmetrics was proposed in 2010,[1] as a generalization of article level metrics,[5] and has its roots in the #altmetrics hashtag. Although altmetrics are often thought of as metrics about articles, they can be applied to people, journals, books, data sets, presentations, videos, source code repositories, web pages, etc. They are related to Webometrics, which had similar goals but evolved before the social web. Altmetrics did not originally cover citation counts.[6] It also covers other aspects of the impact of a work, such as how many data and knowledge bases refer to it, article views, downloads, or mentions in social media and news media.[7][8]

Is this early diabetes
My son is a Type 1 diabetic, diagnosed at 15. He has a 2 1/2 y/o son that they had trouble waking one morning. My son grabbed his tester. My grandsons blood sugar was 42. They went to the ER. Lots of tests were taken, all came back normal. The endocrinologist they followed up with said his case was not the norm and was odd. (His A1c was 5.0) They were told to keep a log of his blood sugars for a couple of months. Over that time, he has had maybe 3 lows, but, a number of counts over 100 (a few over 200). He is now awaiting a continuous blood glucose monitor to wear for a few days. Anyway............the endocrinologist says he's not ready to diagnose him diabetic "yet", but, feels he is starting on that path. (There are no autoimmune anti bodies present.........leading him to believe he'd be idiopathic Type 1B) My question is.......is there anything other than diabetes that could cause these symptoms? Just wondering if there is something not common they may be overlooking.

Diabetes can be slow or rapidly developing, even in children. I do not think there is any other cause than diabetes at this point.
Would suggest the parents look into low carb eating for the child to avoid the highs, along with plenty of protein and healthy fats to keep blood sugars stable.
Please have them look up Bernstein Diabetes University, and children, on Utube. This resource will teach them a lot and may guide them in how to approach this and what to look out for.

What is the exact YouTube video. I am finding a lot of them
Berstein Diabetes University has over 200 videos. Look for the Discussion 1 - "what parents need to know".
I would be finding me a second opinion. If his sugars are running over 200. He has juvenile diabetes.
Yes! There are several reasons blood sugar can drop even if you don't have diabetes. Tumors of the pancreas or adrenal glands can cause this. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (lack of digestive enzymes) can cause this. Certain nondiabetic specific medications(eg certain antibiotics) can cause this. Malnutrition can cause this. Picky eaters can suffer from this. These are just some of the reasons you can have low blood sugar.
My youngest son has the same problem your grandson does. I am Type 1 (age 14 diagnosis). My oldest son was diagnosed with Type 1 at age 9. When my oldest son was diagnosed, my youngest son then 5 years old took it upon himself to also pee on the Ketosticks. We were shocked to see large ketones. However, his sugars were normal, so we didn't worry too much. As time passed, we would do periodic ketone and sugar checks. Sometimes he had ketones and slightly elevated sugars and sometimes not. His A1C was always normal. He developed hypothyroidism when he was 9 years old. When he was around 13 years old he began having issues with low blood sugar. It seemed he would randomly have severe low blood sugar. We started to checked his sugars 2 hours after meals, but they were always good. Please keep in mind that even nondiabetics can have sugars over 200 if they eat food (especially sweets) then test their blood sugar 30 minutes after they eat. Also, kids have different target ranges than adults. So then we did the glucose tolerance test. The results were inconclusive. His blood sugar ran a bit higher than what was considered normal for the first half of the test, but by the end of the test his sugars were back in normal range. His pediatrician was ready to diagnose him, but I wasn't convinced. Neither was my endocrinologist who was following his case as well.
We decided to look at other possible causes, and after lots of blood tests and imaging to look for tumors and such, we decided to just change how he ate. He was at the top of the growth chart in height but at the bottom of the growth chart for weight. We switched him to eating several times a day instead of what he was doing - almost no breakfast, light lunch, a few snacks after school and dinner when I forced him to come downstairs. As long as he ate something about every 3-4 hours he avoided the severe lows. Mom and Dad breathed a sigh of relief. He is 20 years old now and still fights low blood sugar when he goes too long without eating. What he doesn't have is a diabetic diagnosis.
My advice would be to not stress too much over this especially if your grandson is a picky eater. See what the pediatrician thinks about letting your grandson be a grazer, and consult a pediatric nutritionist. Be proactive about preventing low blood sugar. Instead of concentrating all his calories at meal time, spread the calories out over the whole day. Always have a baggie of his favorite snack at hand for him to munch away on and a juice box to chase those scary lows away! I hope all goes well with his future testing. Best of luck to your family.
Just wondering was your grandson ever diagnosed with t1 diabetes? My son is 3 1/2 and has been experiencing the EXACT same thing since July 2017. He would wake up and be lethargic, crying/winey. And not want To eat or drink anything and then would get really sick and vomit multiple times. One time we decided to test his blood since my husband is t1 (diagnosed at age 12) and so is my father inlaw and sister inlaw. When we tested my son that first time it was at 56 and we immediately made him eat some candy and tried to get him to drink juice (he refused). His blood sugar cane up and he was fine. Those low episodes happened about once every week for about 3 months and his pediatrician told us to just make sure he eats more carbs before bed. So we did. At that time his A1c was checked and was at 5.2. The episodes eventually tapered off and only occurred every 3-5 weeks and we weren't so worried until just recently approx March 2018. In March he ended up getting the flu and after that we noticed he was peeing ALOT and drinking a lot. He even began wetting the bed occasionally which he's hasn't done in over a year (he's fully potty trained). We began testing his blood again then. His fasting bs was at 138 one morning (which is high) and then a few other times it's been either low (under 65) or once again high (above 126 fasting for 12 hours). We also started testing him 2-3 hours after meals and he would be above 140 sometimes as high as 198 (that was the highest). Then this past week he woke up sick. We though he was just tired because he didn't get to bed till 11 the night before (bedtime is 8:30) and so we brushed it off the next morning (8am) when he wasn't acting quite right. Well then at 10 am he still wasn't and he began vomiting so we tested him after cleaning him up and his sugar was at 61. We gave him 1 serving of gummy bears (15 g carbs) and waited 15 min then gave 1 more serving of gummy bears. And then tested him 2 hours later. When we tested him he was at 181. Isn't that a bit high for waiting 2 hours and all he had was 30 grams of carbs?
I'm just so worried about him and feel like his pediatrician doesn't care at all about our conserns.

Sorry to hear you are going through this with your son. With my grandson - in October he was officially diagnosed as diabetic BUT the doctors "still" aren't sure what type! I know, it sounds crazy, but there is a type of diabetes referred to as MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young) - which is the result of a mutated gene - that they think my grandson may have. I had never heard of this type of diabetes..........until my grandson's situation. It generally presents the same as t1, however, blood tests are negative for the antibodies and anything else that would typically show up. Unfortunately, many doctors are not to familiar with it, which is the case with my grandson. It is very frustrating.....and he is a patient at a large children's hospital ! Genetic testing is required (which is expensive and not typically covered by insurance) to correctly diagnos it.
I am glad that you mentioned the history of t1 in your family - because that is a very common trait with MODY. (But, it can be a spontaneous occurrence.) A child of a MODY patient has a 50% chance of having it as well and passing it on to their children. (There are like 11 different types of MODY - depending on which gene is affected.) The treatment for the blood sugars can be very different than a diabetic with t1. "Some" MODY patients that were misdiagnosed as t1, can switch to oral medications........but, that's a whole different path after correct diagnosis.
So - to answer your question.....yes, he was diagnosed, but, treatment is still "up in the air". There is a University in Chicago that researches MODY and does do the testing for free - however, it can take months (due to funding) to get your results. That is what we are waiting on right now with my grandson. He (and my t1 son) submitted his test back in December and we are still waiting. It baffles me that my grandsons doctors aren't really doing anything (in my opinion) other then just "rechecking" his A1c every three months. It is always in the "normal range" because his lows are negating his highs.
I know his endo consulted with the Children's Hosp of Boston (which is the hospital that brought MODY to our attention) and he has spoken to the University in Chicago, but, without the results we are kind of at a standstill. Luckily, my grandsons highs don't usually go over 200, and do come down pretty quickly on their own. He does have lows though - often during sleeping hours - so, insurance did approve a Dexcom device for him - which has been the best thing ever to avoid situations during the night. When my son would go low, it was typically around 4 am.........my grandson seems to follow this same trait - so, the Dexcom alerts us to this in time to treat it.
With your sons symptoms, and family history, I would look into MODY in your family. Once we have a diagnosis of "type" of diabetes, I will certainly post again. Please let me know how you make out with your son as well.
But, I would still favor type-1b as most likely.
I am fighting both highs and hypos myself, after being stable on insulin for 38 years. I am to have a adrenal workup soon.

Passing on this posting of interest to Google Scholar users:
Source: Resource Shelf
They're Here! E-Mail Alerts for Google Scholar Now Available Direct from Google
Until now, Google Scholar users had to use a variety of methods to create alerts to notify them of new content in Google Scholar. Well, the wait is over and as of this weekend, Google Scholar E-Mail Alerts are now available. It's Google, of course they're free.
NOTE: This post was updated at 10 P.M. on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 after ResourceShelf chatted with Anurag Acharya, the founding engineer of Google Scholar.
Creating Alerts
1. For a "simple" alert, just run a Google Scholar search, click the search button, and get your results.
2. Click the "Envelope" icon (top left side of the page). Here, you can make changes, if needed, click "update" button and a sample of results using 2010 results with the modified search query appear below. When you're set after deciding the amount you want returned, click "Create Alert." You're then taken to your page of "Google Scholar" Alert page. If you want to modify the alert at this point, you'll need to click the cancel button and begin again.
3. Alerts appear to work with all three content options:
A) "Traditional" Google Scholar Content (with patents or without patents)
B) Legal Documents and Journals
4. For advanced Google searchers, most advanced syntax should also work in Google Scholar. The same goes for legal materials and patents. However, date limits do not work. We're still trying to figure out a search limiting to only patent applications or awarded patents.
However, if you or those you're working with aren't syntax users or just want to try something different, Google Scholar alerts created by using a more complex query can also be created using the advanced search interface.
Because alerts are to find new material (independent of publication date) that has just "entered" the database, the date range limits do not work.
You can't create an alert for only a source (at least at this time. For example, only send alerts for new entries from "The Journal of X" a no go. Anurag Acharya told us that part of the challenge in offering this feature is that Google is that a "large portion" of the Google Scholar database is built by crawling the open web and, "automated identification of articles and extraction of metadata." Of course, others have written about major issues they have with metadata and automated identification particularly when it comes to using Google Scholar as a tool for citation counts.
5) Alerts limited by an authors name or part of a name and prebuilt "collections" (look for them on the advanced search page) appear to work correctly. Btw, Google Scholar names (with or without an alert) do not have to be inverted and as an example, these are all variants of the same name: "m cutts'" or "matt cutts" or "matthew cutts." However, if you do get a significant number of false drops due to name issues, it's probably time to build a new query.
6) One of the great Google "only" blogs (an essential read ) is Google Operating System. There we read that Google Scholar alerts will do automatic query modification.
Google Scholar's email alerts feature is special because Google changes your to get better results (for example, [statistical speech recognition] has been changed to [statistical intitle:"speech recognition"]
Dr. Acharya offers a bit more explanation about what he calls "query suggestion."
First things first, what we present is a query suggestion. The user can modify the suggestion or revert it. To facilitate this, we provide a preview of results from the current year. So that the user can see how well the query matches recently published articles. [We noted this at the beginning of the post.] Our goal here is to help users bridge the gap between finding key/important articles in a large collection (as they are doing when they search Google Scholar) and finding relevant articles in the much smaller collection of recently published articles (as they would be doing with alerts). Queries that work well for finding key articles in large collections may or may not work as well for finding relevant recently published articles. What we try to do is to help the user craft a query that would achieve this.
Google doesn't talk about how query modification works (no surprise) but user intent (as one might expect) is part of the mix.
What About New Citations To Papers You're Interested In?
Our friend and info pro colleague, Garrett Eastman (the person who also brought this new feature to our attention) pointed us to a blog named, "A Computer Scientist in a Business School." Along with several screenshots (Google Operating System has some as well), we not only get another look at how to create a basic alert but also how to create alerts to be notified of new citations to specific articles. If it wasn't for this A Computer Scientist In A Business School blog post, we really wouldn't know citation alerts existed and be spending lots of time trying to see if it did. Kudos to the blogs author, Panos Ipeirotis.
To be alerted to new cites of a specific paper:
1) Find the paper(s) you want an alert for in the Google Scholar database.
2) Included next to each result on a results page is the text "cited by xx." Click that text. Now, simply click the envelope at the top of the page, decide on how many results you want (10 or 20) and your alert should be created.
A Couple of Other Notes
We wouldn't be surprised if RSS and/or Twitter and/or Facebook became another ways of disseminating alerts but first Google wants to determine interest in the email reviews
From what we can tell, you can only send alerts to your Gmail account.
UPDATE: What we wrote above is incorrect.
Acharya, told ResourceShelf that ANY email address can be used for delivery of a Google Scholar alerts. Here's how it works.
Make sure you're logged out of your Google account (if you have one). Compose the query you want to be alerted about and press the "create" button. At this point, your alert query along with an EMPTY e-mail box will appear. Enter the address where you would like the alert to be sent. In a matter of minutes (if not sooner) you'll receive an email asking you to confirm the address. Confirm by clicking the link in the confirmation e-mail. Now, the alert should arrive in the inbox you've selected. If done this way, you will be sent an email verification for each alert.
Yes, it's a bit of a pain but it's also the "balance" between ease of use and the creation of problems by malicious users. Ah, life on the Internet. Finally, to be clear, supplying an email address here is NOT the same thing as registering for a Google account.
It's also not a problem to send an alert(s) to a friend or colleague. However, make sure to let them know about it/them because they'll be sent one or more verification emails that they'll have to confirm.
Now, after many years alerts are here. The next thing Google Scholar should provide (we've been asking them since day one) is a directory of the journals indexed in the GS database. If a traditional vendor did not provide one of these when asked, they would likely be told, "we're not interested in working with you." When we asked this question of Dr. Acharya he pointed us to this 2006 interview. This is not the last we'll discuss this topic here but we are going to put it away for today. Btw, another question worth asking (and maybe more interesting to more people) to someone at Google is, "What happened to the Google Librarian Central web site and its newsletter?" The last time GLC received an update was about 22 months ago. The last newsletter over a year ago.
If what you or the person you're working with is interested in simply learning what's available in a new issue of a specific journal for each issue, and since you can't limit a Google Scholar search to only deliver new articles from a specific publication, the free JournalTocs service offers tables of contents. It's one of the most useful services on the Internet and the fact that it's free makes it only better.
Finally, don't forget (even those of you who access databases via your local library) that most database vendors offer email and/or RSS alert services including the two primary citation databases, Web of Knowledge/Science and Scopus. In some cases, if an aggregator gets an issue early by a day or or longer you might learn what's in it and read the abstracts, tables of contents before the journal arrives in the mail or appears on newsstands since most of these databases are updated daily if not continuously. We really don't know how often (daily, weekly, monthly?) Google Scholar is updated with new material.

French producer 20syl killed it in 2015 with his glitched out Motifs II EP as well as electronic remixes for Ed Sheeran, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Ibrahim Maalouf and others. He kicked off the new year with a radio-friendly remix of Yael Naim's infectious hit "Walk Walk," and now he's released his first original tune of 2016, in the form of the funky and retro-sounding yet forward-looking "Inertia." Like a lot of 20syl's music, "Inertia" is fun and uplifting.
But this new song comes with a message too. On the SoundCloud page for "Inertia", 20syl writes that all sales revenue from the new song will go towards A Syrian Dream, an organization that is working to provide education and psychological support to children from Syria living in refugee camps in Turkey. So give the song a listen below, and if you like it, go ahead and buy it on iTunes or elsewhere online knowing that you'll be supporting a good cause.

E5420 El Capitan Installer doesn't boot
tomatoeproductions replied to tomatoeproductions's topic in E5xxxThank you so much for the quick reply! I'll try that the instant I get home! **EDIT** It has now booted into the OS X installer! Thank you! I'll now try installing...
E5420 El Capitan Installer doesn't boot
tomatoeproductions posted a topic in E5xxxHello everyone, This is my first hackintosh attempt, and indeed my first post in this forum. You lot seem to be quite helpful, and I figured I'd turn here. I have an E5420, with the 2.5ghz i5, 4gb of ram, and the 1600x900 screen. It has a broadcom wireless card in it already. After the significant screwups on my part prior to getting this all functional to the point it is now, I am faced with an irritating issue of the screen glitching out and through the glitched text, reading "Still waiting for root device" Right before that, it reads [iOBluetoothFamily][searchForTransportEventTimeOutHandler] -- Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport! It then slowly scrolls down in empty new lines every 2 or 3 minutes. I apologize if this is indeed similar to another issue on here, but those resolutions don't help. Booting with cpus=1, -x, GraphicsEnabler=No, or without caches does nothing to help the issue. Any suggestions? Thank you, Jakob

2013 December 16
Post date: Dec 29, 2013 1:04:23 PM
In Attendence:
Audrey Northway, Tara Hill, Karen Gallati, Michelle Kurlanski, Sarah Holman, Sally Somes, Celeste Emery, Heather Nicolau, Alison McMonagle, Mary C. George, Molly Washo, MJ Dedon, Emily Pershing, Pam Rowe, Nita Dehais, Laurie Logan, Barbara Armstrong
1. 7:05 Meeting Began
2. November Boosters Meeting Minutes Approved
3. Pam Rowe gave the Treasurer's report.
4. Nita Dehais
Family Ads should go to Nita before going to student program designers. The website will be updated to reflect this step.
*We will need more people working on dds next year*
Over half of our income comes from ad sales. Sarah suggested reaching out to businesses early in the new year. Tara said that it will work if a few people take on
5. Program
Two students were the program designers this year.
Important notes for next year: need to have an adult to supervise. Stacey Collins stepped in and helped the students in the end. Although the program turned out very well, it will be important to provide support for the students as needed.
6. Concessions
MJ Dedon reported that the concessions were successful. There were lots of donations and many hungry people during intermission who supported the stand.
7. Priority Seating
Not as many people used this system, but overall parents were pleased with it.
8. Ticket Sales report was given by Mary. (missed discussion)
9. Thank you cards
Michele Kurlanski volunteered to send out thank you notes.
If there is anyone that needs to be thanked, please let Tara know.
We usually thank businesses (approximately 70)
10. Thank you Gallati's for hosting Cast Party. Karen said the students were great.
11. The post show Get Together will be this Wednesday, 6:30-8pm, in the Library. There will be a slide show and all cast and crew are invited. If students can't make it, they should stop by Mrs. Northway's room on Friday. This is a drop-in. If anyone can send in water or small goodies, thank you.
12. Fundraisers: Every Monday and Wednesday in February, Food Stop donates a portion of their pizza sales to Greely drama. Spread the word--Eat Pizza in February
Wal-Mart donated $1000 (thank you Beth Baldacci).
13. Communication. Ben Ray created a facebook page for the musical. Audrey was wondering if this is the most effective way to communicate with students.
14. Pictures
Wes Franklin (and two students) took over 2000 pictures. Audrey has been sorting through the pictures and has chosen about 100 and will be photocopying before Wednesday's get together. Molly asked if we could possibly have a photo sale as a fundraiser. There was some discussion about how this might work. Audrey cannot add this project to her list. Tara will send out an email to see if we can find a volunteer.
15. Next Play
Audrey is reading plays, but she has not made a decision yet.
16. NYC trip.
A trip in February 2014 is unrealistic at this point because of the short time frame to prepare for a trip. We would need at least 35 people to make this a cost effective trip. Audrey will keep the list of students who sold more than $100.00 from the Mixed Bag sales so they can use their funds to help defray the cost of a trip next year. Audrey would like this trip to be inclusive next year and the additional year would give more students time to earn the money. Selection would also depend on past and current participation in drama, and even seniority, if the interest is very high.
17. Next Meeting will be February 3, 2014.
Meeting Adjourned at 8:10 pm.

(Starstruck #3 – can be read as a stand-alone)
Publication date: Feb 24 2015
Genres: New Adult, Romance
Another standalone Starstruck romance from the HarperCollins author who brought you Amazon #1 bestseller Before He Was Famous and Before He Was Gone
"What if we can't choose
Every battle we win and lose
What if we decided years before, to live this life, to fight these wars
And all the dreams we ever thought were ours
Were written in the stars"
Waiting tables isn't exactly what singer/songwriter Stephanie has in mind for her move to Nashville, but memories of the past and a case of writer's block mean inspiration isn't coming easy. When brooding pianist Conor Judge opens his mouth in a smoky bar he proves music can heal, and even help you re-write your story, but a history of his own means the one thing he starts to want most is always just out of reach. Stephanie.
Enter Travis Flynn – an upcoming star who won't take no for an answer, and a record label intent on helping Stephanie shine, without Conor. As fame comes knocking as hard as the ghosts of their pasts, it soon becomes clear that no matter how hard you might fall in love, having the perfect songs doesn't always mean perfect harmony.

Mark, I just have to say WOW. What a great marathon time. Congrats. And, I LOVE the pictures.
August 12
Did a repeat of the 44 miler on hills we did a couple of weeks ago with John J. Jon B and Napalm did half, also the same as last time. While they were throwin' it down, I was having quite a hard time of it. My feet were really giving me a lot of trouble. Unbearable pain in the left, cramping in the right. You would think this was the first time I put on these skates or something. Anyway, Jon will give you his report, but they were really doing awesome this weekend. He was on some 5x80's and he was really flying up those hills. Napalm too - they were working together and leaving us in the dust. John and I finished in 3:08 something, 4:15ish pace. John J wasn't feeling very well either.
August 13
31 mile bike ride in San Antonio - we go for the hills! It was a beautiful ride on long quiet country roads. John J. had to get back by 9:30 am so we had to shorten the route a bit. From what I was told, we missed all of the monster hills at the end of the main route. Oh well, next time.
August 14
10 hill sprints at Upper Tampa Bay trail, with fun mile and a half mad dash back to the car trying to catch a cyclist. I didn't catch him, but he hadn't just done 10 hill repeats
Tonight - yoga

The Wait Is Finally over for the Northman
Clearly the delays in the opening of Chicago's first cider bar did nothing to kill the buzz.
It took us a while to get to this point, the actual, for-sure opening of the Northman (4337 N. Lincoln Ave., Ravenswood). Estimated opening dates swirl back as far as spring 2014. But it's here for real this time, and apparently the wait did nothing to kill the buzz–on its first Saturday, the bar was stuffed all night long.
Inside, things are warm and cozy, with a bohemian-leaning crowd content to finally occupy a stool for a spell and chat at reasonable volumes. The ciders themselves are diverse (some come from standard taps, some get poured from ceiling-mounted spouts, still others get decanted and long-poured tableside.) The space seems worn in in a good way. You'd think the place had been there for ages.
Here's what all we saw when we stopped in.

How Much Life Insurance? Try an Affordability-First Approach
If you're wondering how much life insurance you need, you'll find a lot of opinions as to what the "right" number is.
Some say 5-10x your annual income. Sounds simple, but is it right? Others ask you to fill out a complex calculator to estimate current and future assets and liabilities. Here's a hint — the recommended coverage will be in the millions of dollars (no surprise).
So where does that leave you? The traditional path starts with the coverage amount (top-down approach) which determines your monthly premium. And that monthly premium may or may not fit your budget.
An alternative path, and one rarely applied in the life industry, is to start with your budget in mind (bottom-up approach). First see how much coverage you can afford and then adjust up or down as desired.
Let's review both top-down and bottom-up approaches to see what works for you.
Top-Down Approach or Coverage-First
A highly simplified method is to multiply your current annual income by 5 or 10 depending on how many years of coverage you want to give. Why? It's a measure of financial support through a transition period until your family presumably becomes self-sufficient again.
A more complex method is to calculate future financial needs including the immediate costs at the time of death, income replacement, debt, education, etc. Some calculators include inflation and tax-adjusted investment yields.
Add these up and voila! You probably get a really high coverage recommendation with a high monthly cost attached to it.
One example of this is a popular news site that recommended a $3.3 million policy for a healthy 35-year-old male earning $100,000 so his surviving family could invest it and live off the interest for the rest of their lives.
Interesting approach… but that policy would cost about $100 a month. If you're ready to purchase millions of dollars of life insurance, more power to you. Most people aren't. So while possibly a helpful data point it isn't super practical.
Unfortunately, a coverage-driven estimate is one reason why so many people assume life insurance is just too expensive. In fact, 6 out of 10 millennials overestimated the cost of life insurance by 3 times on average[1].
They are talked into expensive policies only to cancel later because the cost was just too high. And despite initial demand, they end up not buying coverage at all.
You shouldn't have to choose between paying the utility bill or life insurance.
Thanks coverage-first approach!
Bottom-Up Approach or Affordability-First
A more practical approach is first to determine how much you'd be willing or able to pay, find how much coverage that gets you, then adjust up or down if needed. No surprises and it's a good balance of financial responsibility and wallet friendliness.
Here's an example just to illustrate the point:
If the same 35-year-old healthy male earns $50,000 a year and budgets $7 per month for life insurance, that could get him roughly $100,000 of life insurance. Next he can consider whether the equivalent to 2 years of tax-free income is sufficient for his beneficiaries.
Or if he can afford $15 per month and get a $250,000 policy, then he could also cover debt (mortgage, credit card, auto and student loans).
Or he could just start with $100,000 policy today, so he's covered now then revisit coverage options later.
It's nice to have great choices that are all within reach of a few dollars.
Affordability-first means adequate financial protection to give your family a soft landing (not to mention peace of mind) without disrupting your lifestyle or making difficult tradeoffs.
With the right insurance partner, you can revisit coverage options later when you have higher income or different needs.
Just keep in mind that life insurance tends to get more pricey as you age. So revisit your coverage options every year, not every 10 years.

Trumbull County Commissioners recently approved a new 12-month, $23,000 contract with the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber to continue its multi-faceted economic development efforts in the county.
The Chamber oversees the retention and expansion of local business and attraction of new business to the Valley, providing a broad range of proven economic development services by assisting companies in identifying suitable properties, securing project incentives, obtaining strategic information and much more.
Sarah Boyarko, the Chamber's senior vice president of Economic Development, said, "In 2016 and year-to-date in 2017, the Regional Chamber has had significant involvement in 19 Trumbull County projects totaling $942,614,872 of investment and the creation of 270 new jobs, with an estimated annual payroll of more than $14,062,006. In addition, the investment resulted in 620 retained jobs."
Frank S. Fuda, president of the Board of Commissioners, noted that, "The Regional Chamber is a great partner in Trumbull County. They are on the ground talking to businesses and helping them expand so that our local companies can invest in the county and create jobs."
The Chamber is currently managing 11 pending projects—totaling approximately $1,578,595,000—that are expected to be announced within the next 12 to 24 months. "We look forward to ongoing business growth and continuing to serve Trumbull County," said Boyarko.
In June 2016, the Regional Chamber's Workforce and Government Affairs staff joined the Economic Development division, housed on the fourth floor of the Mahoning Building in Downtown Warren.

- About ERC
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) makes decisions on religious freedom that affect the rights of over 800 million people in 47 countries. A famous case is the Lautsi v. Italy decision which prevented the display of the crucifix in classrooms, and was later revoked after a public outcry.
Dr Effie Fokas, a Greek researcher, has received an ERC Starting grant to study the influence of ECtHR decisions on the public. Looking beyond the legal implementation of the decisions, she hopes to discover how they change local perceptions of religious rights, grassroots movements and national case law.


text: I have a Zenon SCADA and there are two strings on screen, current batch and previous batch. The user needs to type in a description of the current batch. When the batch ends, a bit is set on by the PLC. This will trigger a copy of the Current batch string to previous batch string, however I can't find out how to do it. I have tried an allocation, but it seems that you can't do an allocation with a string as source, although strangely enough, it lets you create one, it just doesn't work. As the PC has a licence for Recipegroup manager, I tried to do the copy using a recipe but this doesn't work either. Is it the case that read/write of a recipe only works on a user action, like a button press, not a bit change? I'm not sure. Anyway, the main question is this, How can I copy the value in one memory string variable to another whenever the PLC sets a bit?

Excellent. My kids start to sleep at 8-9 pm(or anytime I want them to sleep) thanks to this product. I spray it to their mouths singing detective Conan song. (As Conan makes others asleep all the time!)
It also help me to sleep when I am too stressed or tired to sleep.

"Formulated by Dr. Amy Yasko, an integrative health practitioner with an alphabet soup of credentials after her name (PhD, NHD, AMD, HHP, etc.), this fantastic little spray knocked me out with two squirts for the rest of the night. I had flown home from Anaheim and was well past the point of exhaustion, having lugged around a increasingly heavy samples bag AND my breast pump for the whole day. I was so tired that I couldn't sleep – has that ever happened to you? I reached into my satchel of goodies and out rolled the sleep spray I had picked up from the HHI booth. I did a quick squeeze-squeeze and was overcome almost IMMEDIATELY by a wave of lethargy and slept so hard that night, my own baby slapping me in the face didn't even wake me up the next morning. Now THAT's what I call some good ZZZs"

- A fantastic product!
The melatonin spray has worked wonders for several of my patients as well as my own daughter (who is neurotypical but takes forever to fall to sleep). In fact, I recently had 3 patients provide exceptional feedback in less than a week's time, which is highly unusual for any product!
The caveat here is that melatonin is a methyl donor so as long as you or your child can tolerate methyl donors, you should respond very well to this product. Remember to start slowly, just as you would with any new supplement or medication, as a little can go a long way. In fact, my daughter tolerates methyl donors quite well, yet after just 2 sprays, she is usually asleep within 15 minutes--something unheard of in our family! I have also had very similar reports from my adult patients suffering from insomnia.
Because good, sound sleep is integral for overall health and well-being, I would recommend this product for anyone suffering from poor sleep quality, frequent night time waking, and/or insomnia.

The contract for differences (CFD) offers European traders and investors an opportunity to profit from price movement without owning the underlying asset. It's a relatively simple security calculated by the asset's movement between trade entry and exit, computing only the price change without consideration of the asset's underlying value. This is accomplished through a contract between client and broker and does not utilize any stock, forex, commodity, or futures exchange. Trading CFDs offers several major advantages that have increased the instruments' enormous popularity in the past decade.
Key Takeaways
- A contract for differences (CFD) is an agreement between an investor and a CFD broker to exchange the difference in the value of a financial product between the time the contract opens and closes.
- A CFD investor never actually owns the underlying asset but instead receives revenue based on the price change of that asset.
- Some advantages of CFDs include access to the underlying asset at a lower cost than buying the asset outright, ease of execution, and the ability to go long or short.
- A disadvantage of CFDs is the immediate decrease of the investor's initial position, which is reduced by the size of the spread upon entering the CFD.
- Other CFD risks include weak industry regulation, potential lack of liquidity, and the need to maintain an adequate margin.
How a CFD Works
If a stock has an ask price of $25.26 and the trader buys 100 shares, the cost of the transaction is $2,526 plus commission and fees. This trade requires at least $1,263 in free cash at a traditional broker in a 50% margin account, while a CFD broker requires just a 5% margin, or $126.30.
A CFD trade will show a loss equal to the size of the spread at the time of the transaction. If the spread is 5 cents, the stock needs to gain 5 cents for the position to hit the break-even price. While you'll see a 5-cent gain if you owned the stock outright, you would have also paid a commission and incurred a larger capital outlay.
If the stock rallies to a bid price of $25.76 in a traditional broker account, it can be sold for a $50 gain or $50/$1,263 = 3.95% profit. However, when the national exchange reaches this price, the CFD bid price may only be $25.74. The CFD profit will be lower because the trader must exit at the bid price and the spread is larger than on the regular market.
In this example, the CFD trader earns an estimated $48 or $48/$126.30 = 38% return on investment. The CFD broker may also require the trader to buy at a higher initial price, $25.28 for example. Even so, the $46 to $48 earned on the CFD trade denotes a net profit, while the $50 profit from owning the stock outright doesn't include commissions or other fees. Thus, the CFD trader ends up with more money in their pocket.
Contract for Differences (CFD)
The Advantages of CFDs
Higher Leverage
CFDs provide higher leverage than traditional trading. Standard leverage in the CFD market is subject to regulation. It once was as low as a 2% maintenance margin (50:1 leverage), but is now limited in a range of 3% (30:1 leverage) and could go up to 50% (2:1 leverage). Lower margin requirements mean less capital outlay for the trader/investor and greater potential returns. However, increased leverage can also magnify losses.
Global Market Access From One Platform
Many CFD brokers offer products in all the world's major markets, allowing around-the-clock access. Investors can trade CFDs on a wide range of over 4,000 worldwide markets.
No Shorting Rules or Borrowing Stock
Certain markets have rules that prohibit shorting, require the trader to borrow the instrument before selling short, or have different margin requirements for short and long positions. CFD instruments can be shorted at any time without borrowing costs because the trader doesn't own the underlying asset.
Professional Execution With No Fees
CFD brokers offer many of the same order types as traditional brokers including stops, limits, and contingent orders like "one cancels the other" and "if done." Some brokers offering guaranteed stops will charge a fee for the service or recoup costs in another way.
Brokers make money when the trader pays the spread and most do not charge commissions or fees of any kind. To buy, a trader must pay the ask price, and to sell/short, the trader must pay the bid price. This spread may be small or large depending on the volatility of the underlying asset and fixed spreads are often available.
No Day Trading Requirements
Certain markets require minimum amounts of capital to day trade or place limits on the number of day trades that can be made within certain accounts. The CFD market is not bound by these restrictions and all account holders can day trade if they wish. Accounts can often be opened for as little as $1,000, although $2,000 and $5,000 are common minimum deposit requirements.
Variety of Trading Opportunities
Brokers currently offer stock, index, treasury, currency, sector, and commodity CFDs. This enables speculators interested in diverse financial vehicles to trade CFDs as an alternative to exchanges.
The Disadvantages of CFDs
Traders Pay the Spread
While CFDs offer an attractive alternative to traditional markets, they also present potential pitfalls. For one, having to pay the spread on entries and exits eliminates the potential to profit from small moves. The spread also decreases winning trades by a small amount compared to the underlying security and will increase losses by a small amount. So, while traditional markets expose the trader to fees, regulations, commissions, and higher capital requirements, CFDs trim traders' profits through spread costs.
Weak Industry Regulation
Also note the CFD industry is not highly regulated and the broker's credibility is based on reputation, longevity, and financial position rather than government standing or liquidity. There are excellent CFD brokers, but it's important to investigate a broker's background before opening an account.
CFD trading is fast-moving and requires close monitoring. There are liquidity risks and margins you need to maintain; if you cannot cover reductions in values, your provider may close your position, and you'll have to meet the loss no matter what subsequently happens to the underlying asset.
Leverage risks expose you to greater potential profits but also greater potential losses. While stop-loss limits are available from many CFD providers, they can't guarantee you won't suffer losses, especially if there's a market closure or a sharp price movement. Execution risks also may occur due to lags in trades.
Because of the risks involved and because the industry is not regulated, CFDs are banned and unavailable to residents in the U.S.
The Bottom Line
Advantages to CFD trading include lower margin requirements, easy access to global markets, no shorting or day trading rules, and little or no fees. However, high leverage magnifies losses when they occur, and having to pay a spread to enter and exit positions can be costly when large price movements do not occur. Indeed, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has placed restrictions on CFDs to protect retail investors.

Our house came with a deck on the west, (back) side of the house which wraps around the south end. My wife and I were not using it much until 2 years ago when we got a patio table and started having some breakfasts out there. We got out of the habit last year but this year I decided to reinstate the practice. However I added something else. I waited until warmer weather (not a long wait this year given the heat and drought) and one morning I announced that I was planning on breakfast al fresco. In the last two years I have been getting up and fixing breakfast nude. My being nude has become customary and very natural with us in spite of the fact that my wife is too massively inhibited to be nude. While she cannot overcome her indoctrination, she is entirely accepting of my preference at least so long as it remains private. So nude on the back deck for breakfast was no problem.
After several breakfasts on the back deck, it was obvious that there was a problem. The view from the back deck is not at all the best we have. So I moved the table to the corner where the deck wraps around the end of the house. From there we have a much better view. We can see everything we saw before plus the view includes the pond, our fruit trees, our main garden, all of the side yard and part of the road.
The road is screened in part by one of our bamboo groves, but not completely yet. So anyone driving or walking by would be able to see us breakfasting on the deck from a distance of about 50 yards. For best view I placed the table at a 45 degree angle to the L shaped lines of the deck. The house being at an angle to the road leaves my back mostly toward the road. My patio chair draped with my towel combined with the deck railing blocking part of the view; it would require someone on the road to use binoculars to even have a chance to see that I was fully nude. Only my shoulders would be obvious.
Nevertheless, this was an important incremental step. My wife had great concerns that my naturism might become know at large. With the gradual move towards my naturism becoming routine with things like the gradual move to the best view off our deck she is becoming more comfortable with my naturism, and she is quite comfortable with the present arrangement.
So sitting on the deck sipping coffee enjoying breakfast with a view while I am naked has become normal for us. Now I am wondering what happens if I put a hot tub out there ...??? I wonder if I could come up with a reason to get a hot tub large enough for at least 4 ... ???

Set the wayback machine for 1999/2000, and you'll find a lot of Gen-X office workers doing the same thing I was back then--wasting hour upon hour of company time playing "Quake III" (or "Unreal Tournament II") with my office mates. (At least in my case, there were extenuating circumstances: I was covering the video game beat at pop-culture Web site UGO.com at the time).
In the years since then, first-person shooters have come to require the kind of dedicated hardware that virtually no office workers have, effectively eliminating the daily fragfest that was so common during the original dot-com boom. Instead, browser-based casual games such as "Puzzle Quest" and "Peggle" have taken over as workplace time killers (and have built a huge new market in the process).
In an effort to bridge the gap between "casual" and "serious" gaming, the company behind "Quake" (and "Doom" before that), Id Software, is readying a revamp of the classic "Quake III" experience, called "Quake Live." Id just completed an invite-only closed beta round test for "Quake Live" and is set to open its servers to a broader public beta test for the game, starting Tuesday.
In the intervening years, PCs have gotten fast enough, and broadband connections common enough, that the game can be cast as a browser-based experience, played by visiting Quakelive.com and signing up for a free account. With its forgiving hardware requirements and pick-up-and-play style, it seems made for laptops and low-power office PCs.
Having played several rounds of the beta version of "Quake Live," we can say the ad-supported game is a fairly faithful adaptation of "Quake III," at least as far as our decade-old memories serve, and has all the classic maps from the game, including our favorite, The Longest Yard (set on a series of floating platforms).
The feel is definitely retro, with none of the strategic elements, such as cover fire or stealth, that have defined the last few generations of shooters. Instead the action is fast-paced and kinetic, with players running around at breakneck speeds, bunny-hopping along the way to avoid getting shot.
