Buzzard Bait
Published by
Developed by
Not an American user?
DescriptionAfter a successful Pitfall clone, Tom Mix published a Joust clone for the CoCo and Dragon. Just as in the original Joust, you are a knight, riding an ostrich in a dungeon tournament(!). The goal is to force the ostrich to fly onto the platform and to land on your opponents. The opponent ostriches turn into eggs when landed upon, for you to collect. When all opponents are eliminated, you go on to the next level. If you wait too long, a dangerous pterodactyl will enter the screen to chase you down. Buzzard Bait is mostly feature-complete compared to its role model, including lava trolls. To cope with the limited colour repertoire of the Motorola 6847 chip, you can choose between three colour schemes for the game, ranging from the system green and "buff" to a pure black and white mode.

Looking for Perfection for 400 Years
While enjoying Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing, I got to thinking about the ideal woman. Specifically, as Alexis Denisof's Benedick lists the traits he'd like in his perfect match, I got to thinking about a similar list in a Bollywood song. And so I started thinking about what makes up the" perfect woman."
Review: "Much Ado About Nothing" is Definitely Something
I'm a Shakespeare nerd and proud of it. I first read Hamlet in fourth grade and made a model of The Globe in sixth. I was lucky enough to be cast as Beatrice in a local production of Much Ado About Nothing a couple summers ago. It turned out to be a cursed production and was cancelled when we couldn't replace actors who had to drop, but being able to be Beatrice for the read through and few rehearsals we held was pure joy.

Five Shakespearean Characters Who Ought to Be on Once Upon a Time
I have a lot of TV shows that I like, but there are only a few that I will really make an honest effort to watch, not matter what, and one of them is Once Upon a Time. Even though there are some very cheesy moments in it that would taste good with a box of wine, it's a decent show. And there are some wonderfully complex characters on there that allow for some major angsty moments. But lately some of the characters are just a little, well, stagnant. I say when in doubt, bring in Shakespeare. The Bard's plays are just as much a part of our collective consciousness as the tales used in OUAT, but some of the characters are just dying to be added. So here are five who I think would have a shot. Read More Five Shakespearean Characters Who Ought to Be on Once Upon a Time

Apple's Newsstand Boosting Mag Sales, but Will It Last?
Publishers reporting big spikes in first week
Finally, publishers have a reason to cheer Apple. In the 10 days since Apple launched its Newsstand for the iPad and iPhone, many are reporting big spikes in sales of their digital editions.
Ease of discovery is a big reason for the sales increase; titles are now collected in one place rather than being scattered all over the iTunes store as they were in the past.
Meredith's combined subscription sales of Better Homes and Gardens, Parents, and Fitness, the three titles it's selling through the Newsstand, more than doubled since the launch, with over half the increase coming from paid subscriptions, said Liz Schimel, executive vice president of consumer relationship management and digital media for Meredith.
"It's still early days, but we've seen a big lift since the launch," she said. "The great news is that when you make brands easier for consumers to find, they engage, and the demand is there."
Rodale also has had strong response to its health and fitness magazines, said Matt Bean, associate vice president of mobile, social, and emerging media there. As of Oct. 21, Men's Health had jumped to No. 1 among free apps, with Runner's World and Women's Health at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.
"We're killing it," he said. "Obviously, this bodes well for the interactive edition."
National Geographic reported a fivefold increase in paid subs since the Newsstand launched, with sales nearing 100,000.
And Popular Science averaged 650 iPad subscription sales per day in the first six days, up from about 75 per day on average, according to parent Bonnier Corp.
Newspapers also are enjoying a lift. The New York Times' e-edition had 189,000 new downloads in the Newsstand's first week, seven times what it was the week before. Downloads of its iPhone app, meanwhile, soared 85 times to 1.8 million that week, according to a Times rep.
Publishers had high hopes for the Newsstand, since their tablet edition sales have represented a relatively tiny part of their circulation to date.
The Newsstand's importance is not just in its sales volume but in its ability to attract younger readers to newspapers and magazines, Outsell analyst Ken Doctor said. "That is the sampling mechanism to get new customers," he said.
The question is how long will the spikes last. As time goes on, the newness will wear off, and there could be a dilutive effect as more titles crowd the Newsstand. At the same time, the overall tablet user base is still growing, so new potential customers are being added daily.
Publishers will be able to gauge how the iPad compares with the Nook and Kindle Fire as a source of digital edition sales—and adjust their strategy based on which devices yield the most sales. But with the tablet market still developing, they're doing well to distribute their content on as many devices as possible.

Ex-LA County Sheriff Lee Baca Convicted
Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca was found guilty March 15 on obstructing a federal investigation into corruption within county jails and lying to cover up the interference as reported by the Los Angeles Times. The verdict, that jurors reached on their second day of deliberations, leaves a tarnishing mark on Baca's reputation in his 15 years as a sheriff that was seen as having progressive ideas on criminal justice issues.
The conviction was considered a victory for the prosecutors as they had to retry Baca since their late last year attempt ended in a mistrial. The prosecutors had worked up to get to Baca, who is accused of being the leader behind blocking the FBI's investigation, by first starting with 10 deputies below Baca and his former second in command who have all pleaded or been found guilty for their part in the crime. There were also some deputies who were found guilty of violating the civil rights of inmates and visitors of the jail. Baca, now 74 and suffering from early stages of Alzheimer's disease, can possibly face time in federal prison for his actions.
Part of Baca's job was to oversee the jails, where there were allegations of inmates being beaten by deputies, it was even reported sometimes inmates were beaten when they had handcuffs on without any reason for it. The FBI started investigating the abuse claims, but their investigation was stopped in 2011 when it was discovered they had given a cellphone to informant in the jail by bribing a deputy. Prosecutors said this action angered Baca as he saw it as an attack on his territory and that his anger would fuel his efforts to to subvert the FBI's investigation.
Other actions that prosecutors argued as proof that Baca had obstructed the FBI's investigation included that the inmate that had been the FBI's informant was moved to another jail under a different name and had his real name, Anthony Brown, erased from the jail computer systems. Prosecutors also accused Baca of having send deputies to an FBI agent's house to attempt to intimidate her.
Federal officials considered the decision a success and that it showed that there was no one above the law. Despite the decision Baca was reported as showing no emotion when he found out the verdict and in an article by the Los Angeles Times it was reported on the courthouse steps after the verdict he said, "my mentality is always optimistic. I look forward to winning on appeal."

A Jarrettsville man has been charged after police located the body of a missing woman inside her own home early Friday morning.
Detectives from the Baltimore County Homicide Unit located the body of the missing woman, Athena Dardamanis (63), known to friends as "Tina," secreted inside her home in the 8600 block of Trumps Mill Road, 21237 in Precinct 9 during the execution of a search warrant after she was reported missing by friends Thursday afternoon. Homicide detectives were called to investigate when officers determined that there were suspicious factors surrounding the victim's disappearance. An autopsy conducted Friday determined the manner of death to be homicide by multiple traumatic injuries to the upper body.
The suspect is identified as Kenneth Kyle Quick, Jr. (44) of the 1300 block of Knopp Road in Jarrettsville, 21084. Quick had stayed in Dardamanis' home on recent occasions and was known to owe her a large sum of money, which she had told friends she intended to collect just before her disappearance.
Quick is charged with 1st Degree Murder and is held on a no bail status at the Baltimore County Detention Center pending trial.

Several people I know live life with a certain sense of foreboding. I have even heard them say "I'm just waiting to see what goes wrong next". My thought is always why? When I tell them why not look for what is going to go right next, they mumble something about living in a fantasy world, or how things always go wrong for them. When I mention it could possibly be because they are looking for them to go wrong I am faced with often disbelief and sometimes anger and indignation.
Truth is whatever we focus on we create. Now I am not going to go into the science behind the law of attraction, as there are sites dedicated to just that. Here is the truth – in life there will always be ups and downs, positive and negatives – when we are looking to notice what is going wrong that will be highlighted and seem more prevalent.
So what happens, what changes when we look for, and believe in the good that is going to come?
Two major things happen when you begin to expect and look for good things to happen. First, you start to feel better. You are filled with excitement and joy. People may even begin to comment on how you have changed, or what is different about you. Second, you start to notice the good things. Not only things that are happening, or did happen, but things that may happen, or will happen! You start to notice opportunities that may have slipped passed you before. As an added bonus, the bad things may fade from view. They will still be there because any life has it's challenges, but they will seem less intimidating and overwhelming.
So there are plenty of reasons to switch to focusing on the good. How does one do this? We will focus on that in depth in future blogs, but for right now begin to write down and note when good things happen in your life. One fun project you can do is start a gratitude journal. write down every day at least 5 things you are grateful for and why a day. Review your list right before you sleep. It will change your life. Feel free to share any ideas you may have for staying on the 'sunny side of the street'

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate in vitro the 3D and 2D marginal fit and 2D internal fit of CAD and Press all-ceramic crowns made from digital and conventional impressions.
Methods: A dentoform replica tooth (#30) was prepared for an all-ceramic crown (Master Die). 30 impressions were made with PVS material; 30 definitive casts were poured in type IV gypsum. 30 LavaTM C.O.S. impressions were made; 30 resin models were produced. 30 crowns were waxed and pressed in lithium disilicate (IPS e.max Press) (15 from each impression technique) and 30 crowns were milled from lithium disilicate blocks (IPS e.max CAD) (15 from each impression technique) utilizing the E4D scanner and milling engine. The Master Die and the intaglio of the 60 crowns were digitized using a 3D laser coordinate measurement machine (CMM). For each specimen a separate data set was created for the Qualify 2012 software. The two data sets, digital master die and digital intaglio of the crown, were merged using Best-Fit alignment. An area above the cavosurface margin with 0.75mm occlusal-gingival width circumferentially was defined. The 3D marginal fit of each specimen was an average of all 3D measurement values on that specified area for all the crowns, and it was used for the statistical analysis. For the 2D measurements, two sections, one facial-lingual and one mesial-distal, were made through the grooves on the standardized metal base of the tooth. The distance between the die and the intaglio surface of the crown were measured at 7 standardize points (2 on the margins, 2 at 0.75mm above the margin, 2 on the axial walls and 1 on the occlusal surface). For the 3D measurements one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey's HSD test was used to determine whether there were significant differences in mean marginal fit values among four experimental groups (alpha=0.05). For the 2D data, a two-way ANOVA was performed to detect a significant interaction between the type of impressions and the type of crowns on the marginal and internal fit (alpha=0.05).
Results: One-way ANOVA revealed that the 3D mean marginal fit for Group A (0.048mm±SD 0.009) was significantly lower than those obtained from other three experimental groups Group B (0.088mm±SD 0.024), Group C (0.089mm±SD 0.020) and Group D (0.084mm±SD 0.021), while no significant differences were found among Group B, C and D. Similar results were found regarding the 2D marginal fit Group A (0.040mm±SD 0.008), Group B (0.076mm±SD 0.0234), Group C (0.075mm±SD 0.0148) and Group D (0.073mm±SD 0.0258). For the 2D internal fit, Group C (0.2109mm±SD 0.0410) had statistically significant poorer internal fit than the other three groups Group A (0.1105mm±SD 0.0474), Group B (0.1158±SD 0.02) and Group D (0.1454MM±SD 0.0245), while no significant difference was found among those three groups.
Conclusions: The combination of PVS impression method and Press fabrication technique produced the most accurate 3D and 2D marginal adaptation. The combination of LavaTM C.O.S. impression and Press fabrication technique produced the poorer 2D internal fit.

When I was a kid, I thought that ice cream sandwiches were born. I never thought about how things were made. "Chicken nugget" referred to a crunchy, dippable entity that had no relation to the hens I had seen pecking around at my friend's ranch. American cheese arrived in slices. It wasn't cut from blocks, and it never started with cows. In my books, Gushers and Pop Rocks were as natural as pineapples and green apples. I was as concerned about the origins of hot dogs and bologna as I was about Pope John Paul II or the grunge movement (not very).
I even remember a time while eating McDonald's fries when I wondered about the crispy coating. I only ate the square ends–a texture fiend, even then–and my red box always ended up with little poky fry ends falling out the slits at the bottom. Gazing at a golden shoestring, I wondered if they were coated with something to make them crisp to that succulent texture and color–the middle still so white–or if the crispy fry shells were produced and filled with the velvety insides. I imagined giant machines pumping individual fries full of fry material. What I'm telling you is that the golden arches so little resembled potatoes that it wasn't obvious to me that the two were related. And I suppose I never asked.
Nowadays, knowing the details of my food has become a passion. As much as I would like to say that the impetus behind my obsession with finding out what pepper looks like before it is a peppercorn in the spice aisle, for example, is environmentalism, sustainability, or social activism, those aren't my biggest motivators.
In part, it's an impulse to art, a reverence for material and craft. Know your onion! (and love it).
But really, half of my joy of cooking comes from the tactile experiences of touching food, washing it, transforming it from raw material into art. It's almost just a bonus for me that the food tastes delicious…I said, "almost."
Of course I'm aware that many many people in the world are more concerned with consuming enough calories to survive than respecting vegetables, and it's hard to talk about food without falling into the host of issues surrounding poverty and privilege. There was a time in my life when I didn't have enough food. In another way, though, I want people to eat well the way I want to share a view of some gorgeous landscape–because it's beautiful and it seems like part of being human.
I don't want to forget what it's like to make something with my hands. People used to be connected to food production in ways we can't even imagine now. In my Visual Culture class, they filled me up with lots of ammunition regarding commercialism, advertising culture, and the way that the production of commodities and goods has become separate from our everyday lives. We don't make our food–we buy it.
Cooking things, passing the raw material through your own hands, can get you a little bit closer to the edge of the grid, where your concerns are with your local scene and the communities around you. It could be a sign of neuroticism, but in these crazy economic times, I cling to the ability to create a meal from vegetables grown down the road instead of buying mechanically separated horrors. Or to putting together ice cream sandwiches instead of buying a soggy pack of corn syrup.
Don't worry, I'm not about to teach you how to grind your own flour. All I did was make ice cream sandwiches, and with store bought yogurt and sprinkles for that matter. And in that vein, I don't know where my cocoa powder or vanilla came from. Even when the bottle tells you, can you be sure? Baby steps. Soon enough, I'll be like my friend who, when making homemade peanut butter cups, makes cookies to crumble up inside the mixture instead of using the called-for graham crackers, citing "mysterious origins."
This cookie recipe is straight from the Smitten Kitchen cookbook. You may have noticed my affinity for Deb Perelman's recipes, but really, it seems like she can't write a bad one. The chocolatey cookies are so perfect, even without the ice cream filling. Almost like a sugar cookie, but so deceptively fudgy.
I made these for the Roomz's birthday, and they were highly acclaimed. I rolled the cookies out thinly — about ¼ inch — and baked for 8 minutes. I jabbed some of them with the prongs of a fork to make them more ice cream sandwich-y. Use the toppings and ice cream flavors of your choice! I will respect you a ton if you churn the ice cream yourself. 🙂 I can't explain the sprinkles. It's a love inseparable from my being. I know they are the definition of "mysterious," but, alas.
Disclaimer: Please don't quote me. Remember, all of this is coming from a grad student with no kids.
Ice Cream Sandwiches from the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook.
Yields 60+ cookies when rolled super thinly
3 cups flour (I used all-purpose, but would experiment with wheat)
⅔ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 sticks (16 Tablespoons) softened butter
1½ cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Set out butter to soften, and don't skip this step.
2. Mix dry ingredients and whisk together.
3. Whip softened butter with sugar until light in color and super fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
4. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet. The dough gets dry–eventually I had to abandon the mixer and do a bit of light kneading. Roll dough in ball and refrigerate for ~30 minutes. Deb says to wait an hour, but when I did that it was unrollable.
6. Preheat oven to 350 F. Flour hands, surface, and rolling pin. Using about ⅓ of dough at a time, roll out to desired thickness (⅛ to ¼ inch). Bake on greased baking sheet for 8-11 minutes. I suggest closer to the 8 end of things.
7. When cooled, scoop ice cream into sandwiches, using a butter knife to smooth edges. Roll in desired toppings, then transfer to a tray and keep in freezer while preparing the rest. When ready, scarf! And post pictures online for all your jealous friends who have to pay $4.75 for a "Chipwich" made from creepy shortening and "chocolatey" chips.

Persian Language TV Channel Stalled
Talking about TV: A three-way handshake between (l-r in the centre) Presidents Hamed Karzai of Afghanistan, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran and Imomali Rahmon of Tajikistan at a summit in March 2009.
The launch of a Persian language television channel by Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan has been postponed yet again despite an announcement in March that it was imminent.
The Iranian ambassador to Tajikistan, Ali-Asghar Sherdoost, told the semi-official Mehr News Agency on March 20 that the first broadcast of the channel would take place that night with the official launch a few days later.
A month on, and there is still no announcement about the channel starting up.
Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan are considered the three main Persian language-speaking countries and they have been negotiating on the project for over a decade. The Afghan language Dari and Tajik are dialects of Persian.
Former Iranian president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani first proposed the idea in 1991 after Tajikistan gained independence following the disintegration of the Soviet Union. At the time, Iran was showing interest in the former Soviet states of Central Asia and the Caucasus that were once part of the Persian civilisation.
With the start of the Afghan and Tajik civil wars in the 1990s, however, the plan was cast aside.
In July 2006, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once again brought up the idea of a joint television channel at a meeting of the heads of the three states in the Tajik capital Dushanbe.
The head of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, IRIB, Ezatollah Zarghami, who is appointed by Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, travelled to Afghanistan and Tajikistan in February 2009 to discuss the plan.
Official media, reporting Sherdoost's statement in March, said the initial capital for launching the channel would be 2.5 million US dollars and it would begin work in Dushanbe with 110 employees.
One of the major issues around the launch of the venture is the difference in the broadcasting policies of the three countries since Afghan and Tajik media are open and liberal compared to Iran.
Since the presidential election in Iran last June, more than 100 journalists have been detained. IRIB, which attracts the most viewers in Iran, follows a strict censorship policy on news and other programmes.
Censorship is not limited to political issues and covers anything that does not correspond with the regime's religious views.
Musical performances, including singing and dancing by women, are normal on Afghan and Tajik television. Last December, in contrast, the head of IRIB announced more restrictions including a cutback in the use of music and a ban on women presenters wearing makeup and went as far as banning any joking between women and men on television.
"If there is a female guest on a show the presenter must also be a woman," Zarghami said, describing the main objective of IRIB as guiding young adults towards Islam.
In July 2008, delegations from the three countries discussed the content and structure of the programmes of the joint television channel and explicitly debated the possibility of airing concerts and dancing and whether women presenters should wear the hijab as they do on Iranian TV.
Zarghami announced in February 2009 that his country has no issues with Afghan and Tajik productions that do not comply with Iranian policies, "but the programmes that we will be offering from the Islamic Republic of Iran will be in compliance with our standards."
Iran's ambassador to Tajikistan said at the time that the reason for the delay in launching the channel was that there had been no definitive response from the Afghan culture ministry.
Afghan officials had previously used the excuse that they wanted programmes aired in Pashto, Afghanistan's other main language, along with the Persian broadcasts.
Afghan minister of information and culture, Makhdoom Raheen, who has just taken office, appears cool to the idea of launching a joint television channel. He told the Afghan daily Mandegar on January 22 that he was unaware of the history of the proposal to launch such a channel.
A former senior official at Radio Television Afghanistan, RTA, speaking on condition of anonymity, says that the main concern for the Afghans is possible Iranian efforts to use the channel to promote their political and ideological views.
He questioned the need for joint investment in the project, with the risk of conflict over the content, when Iran already has a number of satellite channels.
Iran launched an Arabic language channel, Al-Alam, in 2003, before the US-led invasion of Iraq. This allowed it to influence public opinion in the region and it even became the leading channel in Iraq for a while.
Afghan journalist Shahbaz Harati says that Afghan officials may fear that the joint channel will have the same anti-American tone of some of the material aired by Al-Alam.
Opposing US policies that have helped bring to power the present Afghan government is a common feature of Iranian media productions.
Zarghami, however, has said that Iran would air programmes that would consider the sensitivities of all three countries.
With its experience and success in television production, Iran is likely to hold the most power in the joint television venture. Iran produces 300 movies and 4,000 hours of television drama annually. A number of Iranian productions are currently being aired in Tajikistan.
The Iranian authorities are pressing ahead with plans for the new channel at a time when foreign competitors are also threatening them. Tehran officials have been using electronic jamming to interfere with the broadcast of popular foreign channels like BBC Persian and Voice of America, which played an important role in giving voice to the opposition after the country's post-election unrest.
Apart from political and news channels, Iran's official broadcaster faces competition from commercial Persian language channels. Farsi 1 - a joint venture of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and Afghanistan's Moby Group - broadcasts dubbed or subtitled movies and popular American TV series and has gathered a significant viewership in Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
Ebrahim Gilani is the pseudonym of an Iranian journalist and foreign policy analyst based in London.

The Place
Koja Kitchen, which started as a food truck and eventually became a multi-store chain with locations all over the Bay Area, is where the CaliPlate crew has decided to go this week on "52 Weeks of Tacos". In 2011, the KoJa truck rolled on the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area, their popular Koja Burgers, bringing unto the world their famous Japanese-Korean fusion style BBQ meat sandwiched between a bun made of fried Garlic Rice. Today, the chain enjoys success through it's restaurants and the original food truck, as featured on The Food Network's TV show "Diners, Drive ins and Dives".
The Goods
While they are known for their burgers, their tacos are definitely worth trying as well. Since we're all about tacos in this feature, let's get straight to the point and feature two of my favorite ones; the beef taco and the pork taco.
The beef taco (left) tastes a lot like their signature beef, Korean style BBQ beef, it kind of reminds me of Kalbi short ribs with a tangy "Japanese" mayonnaise to compliment with it the savory BBQ meat.
The pork taco (right) is braised with a miso coconut sauce which puts it a bit on the sweeter side, but damn it's juicy! It's really easy to mess up pork and chicken; however, these guys have done it right. The crispy fried onions sealed the deal for me, as well as the tiny bits of masago all over the tacos.
(Writers note: I ended up tapping out on the chicken taco. I will update the article with an update on it soon, in the meantime, just enjoy the pictures
The Details
Koja Kitchen has locations all throughout the Bay Area in Berkeley, Emeryville, San Mateo, San Francisco, San Jose, and their newest location in Fresno. You can either dine in, carry out or go through their website and make an order for delivery at select locations.
Follow the truck around on twitter for their locations.

(WSCR) It certainly doesn't take a football expert to realize the Bears' offensive line played poorly in New Orleans Sunday, but at least one of those experts still thinks the unit can be good.
FOX Sports' Troy Aikman was the television analyst during the Bears' 30-13 loss to the Saints and witnessed the destruction in person, but he still sees potential.
"I felt going into yesterday's game that that offensive line has a chance to be good. I really do. And I think Mike Tice is excellent. I really think he does a good job," Aikman said on the Mully and Hanley Show Monday.
LISTEN: Troy Aikman on The Mully and Hanley Show
"Gabe Carimi, obviously a young guy, got injured yesterday, but I think there's some real upside with him," the former quarterback continued. "And Roberto Garza in the middle, he's a big guy, big, physical guy. Do you lose Olin Kreutz's leadership? Yeah, I think you do. But I think he helps them there as far as just his pure size. And then across the board in the other spots, losing Lance Louis was a blow. So now all the sudden they are scrambling on the offensive line like they were a year ago, early. And it's unfortunate because that's really where the whole offense gets established initially and now they got some problems there."
Aikman also defended the Bears' wide receivers, but believes they are all being asked to do too much.
"I don't think any of these guys are bad players … but I think they are all out of position one," he said. "All of their (offensive) players are being asked to be more than they really are."

Exploiting the Barbariansот Raia Apostolova

Perhaps the most pointing allegory of unfreedom in liberal thought is the one that depicts the chained, immobilized body of a slave. The allegory of the chained slave simultaneously positions the "free" subject as a moving, mobile subject. In a similar manner, one of the main principles behind the implementation of the 'European project' – freedom of movement – contains in itself the ideologically loaded concept of freedom on the one hand and the idea that movement is constitutive of freedom on the other.Пълният текст ...

This paper explores changes within the household economy in the postsocialist, post-Yugoslav town of Prilep, and the way in which these transformations mirror changes in social and ritual relationships.In a context of economic hardship, former factory workers holding casual jobs, often within the grey economy, retreat into the household economy, and therefore rely more on kinship and friendship relationships than they ever did during socialism. Tobacco growing is the seasonal activity occupying most of Prilep's households. But is not only an economistic response to the cyclical social demand for cash. When asked about their spending patterns, or how their incomes were allocated to different budgets heads of households systematically placed ritual celebrations among top priorities. Yet people did not want to reduce the number of such celebrations they classified as "unavoidable" and "expensive". One could postpone the payment of a bill, but not an important calendar day such as slava, Christmas or Easter, I was told. I will show how If more and more families in Prilep combine casual jobs and factory work with house-based tobacco growing, this is also because they need to invest more heavily in ritual activities. Households need to raise cash for rituals, which in turn secure the social relationships that provide access to jobs in the industrial sphere and the wider economy.
Real Power Directly to the Peopleот Jana Tsoneva

The events in Bulgaria are moving so fast that it seems that whatever commentators will say will be rendered immediately as non-contemporaneous to them: either too soon or too late. Such instability is driven by the behaviour of the main actors themselves: one day the prime minister is certain he won't resign (so as not to let the socialists and the Turks take power, he explained), the next day he deposits the resignation of the entire cabinet in Parliament, the official reason being that he cannot stand to watch an enclosed parliament while his "brothers" – the police – beat up citizens trying to reach the building. However, the resignation seemed to be partial: the finance minister Dyankov, who had resigned a few days before, surprisingly announced that he is withholding his resignation and will continue to serve as finance minister in order to guarantee Bulgaria's fiscal stability and supervise the country's latest bond issue on international markets. In a gesture that seemed like nothing less than a declaration for the establishment of an autonomous ministry of finance, Dyankov disregarded the fact that the Prime minister Borisov had filed the resignation of his entire cabinet and resumed his job as a minister.

What is the fate of Marxism after Communism? Death? Resurrection? Appropriation? As a scientific research program that evolves in response to historical challenges and internal contradictions, Marxism is a living tradition. Its roots can be found in the canonical works of Marx and Engels. Its trunk is formed from the continually-revised theory of capitalism's dynamics. Its different branches reflect the particular exigencies under which they grow or shrink, progress or regress. Recognizing this tradition – with its foundations, its trunk and its branches – leads us to situate contemporary Marxism as a response to the global expansion of the market, and as such we can talk of a "sociological Marxism," based in a distinctive notion of socialism.

Terms of Service. Longer than we'd like, but an attempt to keep everything clear. The general idea: Perfection is something we strive for, but something no one can truly guarantee. We try to be reasonable; if you do too, we should get along fine!
Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions are subject to revision at any time.
Most recent revision: January 2013
Our products & services are offered only under the following terms & conditions. Placing an order with us signifies that you agree to these terms & conditions.
In these Terms and Conditions, "we," "printer," and "Rockwell" refer to Rockwell Art House, its owners, employees, and representatives, and "you," "customer" and "the customer" refer to any party or parties who approach Rockwell Art House for services and/or goods, or for the sake of engaging in any other business transaction.
These Terms represent the full agreement between you & Rockwell Art House; no further contract exists unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Rockwell Art House, and includes an explicit statement regarding its relationship to these terms.
You affirm that you are of legal age and competence to be bound by this agreement, and to transact business with us. Any minors wishing to transact business with us must do so under the supervision of a legally responsible adult, such as a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms, and who accepts responsibility for said minors interactions with us. MINORS: BY INTERACTING WITH US, YOU STATE THAT THIS IS THE CASE. We shall not be held responsible for misrepresentations made to us by our customers.
All quotes/estimates are subject to change at any time prior to payment.
Order Cancellation
At any time prior to initial payment the customer is free to cancel the order. Cancellation after payment shall be allowed only at printer's discretion and, if allowed, any refund will be less printer's expenses & fees. Printer reserves right to cancel order after payment; if printer is forced to cancel an order through no fault of the customer, printer shall refund full deposit to the customer.
Production Schedules
All production schedules and turnaround times we give are estimates only. We shall not be liable for delays due to third parties, inclement weather, natural disasters, illness, civil or technological disruption, government action, acts of God, or any other causes beyond our control.
Any changes to original specifications resulting in additional work or expense will be charged accordingly.
Preparatory Work and Materials
All sketches, mockups, art samples, artwork, and all other intellectual property and materials supplied by Rockwell shall remain our exclusive property, and no derivative works may be created without our express written permission.
Customer Supplied Artwork
Unless otherwise specified, estimates for orders are based on customer supplying artwork that meets the printer's requirements for "print ready" art. Additional time needed to make artwork ready shall be billed at current rates. Also, by supplying artwork, customer affirms his right to use the artwork and authorize its use, and grants such authorization to the printer for use on the customer's behalf.
Artwork Supplied by Rockwell
When we create or design artwork, copyright to that work is maintained by us. When artwork is created at request of customer, customer receives the right to use the artwork for orders printed by Rockwell. Transfer of copyright or licensing for reproduction to be done by another party must be agreed to in writing and signed by printer and customer. Artwork provided for uses other than printing by Rockwell is licensed for a maximum of 10,000 impressions, unless otherwise specified. (Web promo graphics used exclusively for online promotion are excluded from this limitation.) Additionally, artwork we create may include elements not created by us, usage of which may be governed by other licenses.
Generally, art proofs shall be submitted for customer approval prior to production, usually via email. Approvals and corrections are to be returned via email. If revised proofs are desired, request must be made when proof corrections are returned. When customer supplies "print ready" art, no proofs will be given. We shall not be liable for any errors may occur through production undetected if the work is printed per customer's approval or if changes are communicated verbally. We shall not be responsible for errors if the customer has not ordered or has refused to accept proofs or has failed to return proofs with indication of changes or has instructed printer to proceed without submission of proofs.
Color Accuracy & Consistency
Because of the many variables existing between color proofing and actual printing operations, a reasonable variation between color proofs, specifications for color matching, and/or past orders, and the completed job shall constitute acceptable delivery. Likewise, we have no control over the blank garment dying process, and cannot guarantee consistency of color on garments.
Overruns or Underruns
Due to the nature of custom imprinting, exact quantities cannot be guaranteed. Overruns or underruns not to exceed 10% (or 3 items, whichever is greater) on quantities ordered shall constitute acceptable delivery. For "shorted" items, we offer prorated credit which will be applied to your next order, and which remains valid for one year.
Rockwell reserves the right to substitute materials of equal or better quality. If customer wishes to approve substitutions or desires that none be made, such must be specified when order is placed. Any delays which occur while waiting for customer approval may be charged at current rates.
We reserve the right to print and retain samples, at our own expense, of any artwork or finished items, for personal use and/or for public display of any kind; and to refer to the customer for whom the work is done without notification to customer, unless other arrangements are made with the customer in advance.
It is the printer's option to dispose of reject or excess material. We may, at our discretion, offer them to the customer at a reduced cost to be determined by us. In any event, we shall have the right to sell such material as seconds or irregulars, donate them to charity, destroy them, or to discard them in any manner we see fit. If customer provided the goods he shall be entitled to all rejects, if accepted at time of order completion. Printer shall not be obligated to purchase rejects from buyer. Customer bears all risk for supplied goods.
Supplied Materials
In the case of customer-supplied materials, all art files, information, physical items and other materials furnished by customer must be provided in accord with our specifications. Costs due to delays or impaired production caused by specification deficiencies shall be charged to the customer.
Supplied Goods
In the case of customer-supplied goods, everything pertaining to those goods and not otherwise specified in the order is the responsibility of the customer. Charges related to delivery from customer to printer, or from customer's supplier to printer, are not included in any quotations unless specified. Materials delivered from customer or his suppliers are verified with delivery ticket as to cartons, packages or items shown only. The accuracy of quantities indicated on such tickets cannot be verified and printer cannot accept liability for shortage based on supplier's tickets. (Overages will be charged for at current rates.) Prior to complete and accurate delivery to printer, customer shall be responsible for the resolution of any problems pertaining to his/her goods, including shipping claims, quantity discrepancies, improper delivery, etc.
Customer's Property
The printer is not liable for any damages to, or loss of, property belonging to the customer, while such property is in the printer's possession. If this should at any point prove unenforceable, the printer's liability shall not exceed the wholesale cost of the physical property that has been damaged.

The Dirty List
The Dirty List names international companies doing business with the military in Burma. The list also includes international companies involved in projects where there are human rights violations or environmental destruction.
In September 2018, the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on Myanmar, which has been investigating human rights violations in the country, stated:
"The actions of the Tatmadaw (Burmese military) in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan States, in particular in the context of the 'clearance operations' in northern Rakhine State in 2016 and 2017, have so seriously violated international law that any engagement in any form with the Tatmadaw, its current leadership, and its businesses, is indefensible."

Title I Overview
Title I, Part A is a part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This Act provides federal funds through the Georgia Department of Education to local educational agencies (LEAs) and public schools with high numbers or percentages of poor children to help ensure that all children meet challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards.
School districts target the Title I, Part A funds they receive to public schools with the highest percentages of children from low-income families. These funds may be used for children from preschool aged to high school. Title I, Part A is designed to support State and local school reform efforts tied to challenging State academic standards in order to reinforce and enhance efforts to improve teaching and learning for students. Title I, Part A programs must be based on effective means of improving student achievement and include strategies to support parental involvement. All City Schools of Decatur (CSD) Title I schools serve students through Targeted Assistance Programs which help ensure that eligible children receive additional academic support to meet state performance standards.
Under Title I, Part A local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to provide services for eligible private school students, as well as eligible public school students. These services must be developed in consultation with officials of the private schools. The Title I services provided by the LEA for private school participants are designed to meet their educational needs and supplement the educational services provided by the private school.

Public Notice on ESSA Waiver to Exclude GAA 2.0 Assessment Results from Accountability Calculations in 2018-2019
The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) will be seeking a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education (US ED) to exclude assessment results for the Georgia Alternate Assessment 2.0 (GAA 2.0) from accountability calculations in 2018-2019. The GaDOE is planning a statewide field test for the GAA 2.0 in spring 2019. As such, the GAA 1.0 will not be administered in 2018-2019. This statewide field test of the GAA 2.0 includes ELA and mathematics in grades 3-8 and 11 and science and social studies in grades 5, 8, and 11. A census field test will 1) produce the data necessary to review the technical properties of the new assessment, 2) allow for academic achievement standards to be set, and 3) prepare students and educators for both the technical and academic expectations of this assessment for 2019-2020 and beyond. Given the unfamiliarity that students and teachers have with the redesigned assessment format, administration procedures, scoring, and reporting, it is necessary to seek the waiver as a precautionary measure to ensure technical quality and fair results.
While approval of this waiver would allow for the exclusion of proficiency designations for GAA 2.0 participants from accountability calculations in 2018-2019, schools and districts will be held accountable for participation in the 2018-2019 statewide field test. Additionally, scores from the field test will be provided to students, schools, and districts. This ensures students, schools, and districts can review performance information from the statewide field test to assist with preparation for future assessments.
Additional details on the waiver are available on the GaDOE's Title I, Part A webpage under the 'Federal Programs' Links heading.

Cauliflower rice is tasty and healthy side dish, good substitute for the traditional rice.
This is one of the vegan, gluten free, paleo and low carb cauliflower recipes to try! Moreover, it is surprisingly easy to make.
Here is video recipe:
Flavor of cauliflower rice
To boost the flavor and color, I added spinach and spices to cauliflower rice. I decided to add chilli flakes to add spicy hint and beautiful look. On the other hand, cumin seeds makes cauliflower dish more aromatic.
Try also adding beans or peas, chopped carrot or zucchini to make cauliflower rice stir fry. Moreover, mushrooms will make it more flavorful. Cauliflower will absorb all these delicious flavors, so you will have a perfect cauliflower side dish for your family or a healthy snack. If you want to make it as a main dish, to my mind, better check our cauliflower curry recipe, or add more vegetables to this cauliflower rice.
Cauliflower rice – healthy meal for every day
If you are on a low carb or paleo diet, you should definitely consider one of our healthy cauliflower recipes for eating almost every day. One cup of traditional rice contains about 45 grams of carbohydrates (white& brown rices – the same amount), while a cup of cauliflower rice has only 5 grams. Moreover, a cup of cauliflower rice has only 28 calories, 10 % of fiber, 10 % of vitamin B-6 and 90 % of vitamin C from recommended everyday value.
What's great, cauliflower rice is a quick and easy recipe, because it doesn't need much time to cook! Moreover, the taste is good, it has mild sweet nutty flavor. And you can regulate the spices to your taste, too.
Making cauliflower rice at home
There are some brands available in the store, where the cauliflower is already riced and packed. But, to my mind, raw fresh cauliflower may be cheaper and will have more flavor. It is better to invest in good food processor, but you can also use old-school grater to make cauliflower rice. Once you prepare raw cauliflower rice, you can store it in the fridge for about 3 days or a month in a freezer, until you're ready to use it.
Cooking cauliflower rice
There are different ways to cook cauliflower rice. But I love the most cauliflower rice stir fry. I stir-fried the rice on a pan with a cup of water to get the light and moist textured cauliflower rice. You can add a little bit of olive oil or nut oil for more flavor. Sauteed cauliflower tastes great, too.
To my mind, it would be great to steam the rice as well. However, be careful not to overcook it, as it will become mushy. On the other hand, if you bake the cauliflower (it's more time consuming), you will have more nutty flavor.
If you are searching for more easy cauliflower recipes, check our cauliflower gratin and cauliflower flatbread recipes.
Enjoy your bowl of cauliflower rice!

Barnet boss Still admits it was a mix of emotions against former club Daggers
PUBLISHED: 16:00 29 August 2018
©TGS Photo tgsphoto.co.uk +44 1376 553468
Barnet manager John Still admitted it was mixed emotions managing his side against his former and boyhood club Dagenham & Redbridge.
The Bees came from a goal down to seal a 2-1 victory and earn three points at the Hive on Bank Holiday Monday.
"Of course it's mixed emotions because regardless of what's happened I spent a large part of my career there and the supporters don't always understand some things," the 68-year-old said.
"If they speak to the chief executive they'd understand that if I stay at Dagenham they can't afford to pay players."
The former boss revealed he turned down the opportunity to manage in the Football League at the back end of last season to remain at the club until the summer.
"I turned down opportunities to go to a league club after having a consultation with Steve Thompson and Dave Bennett where I said if you want me to go then I'll go.
"They said we'd sooner you stay until the end of the season and see what we can do so I didn't go to a league club and I stayed."
He also admitted he didn't want to leave the club and believes some of the comments from the Daggers faithful during the match.
"I said at the time I don't want to go but if you want me to go then I'll go so when I get some of the comments there it's not nice as I've given a lot of time to that club.
"I've given a lot of effort to that club and produced a lot of success for that club and if I'd have just walked out and left them then I could understand it maybe a little bit but I didn't want to go.
"I didn't want to go and turned down the opportunity for a league club in the last month or so of the season as the club said we might have a better chance of finding someone to take over the club with me here, so that was no problem."

John Mathews, of Universal Toyota in San Antonio, has witnessed the day that auto industry executives in Detroit said would never come.
"We are seeing people who are driving $40,000 Suburbans trading them in on $15,000 Corollas," said Mathews, who manages a dealership in a state where big trucks and sport-utility vehicles rule the roads. "The last 30 days have been unlike anything I've ever seen in the automotive industry."
Even in hurricane-addled Alabama, people pouring in from Louisiana and Mississippi are popping into Treadwell Honda in Mobile looking for replacements for destroyed cars. Harold Wesley, a salesman, in the midst of fielding calls last week, said he can't keep Civics on the lot -- new or used. "As soon as the new ones get here, they are sold." Wesley said the manufacturer is allocating dealers a few at a time to be fair. Treadwell's last shipment of 12 sold in three days, he said.
Nationally, Toyota officials say the Corolla, one of the Japanese company's smallest and most fuel-efficient passenger cars, had 8.7 days' supply of inventory at the end of last week. In the industry, inventory of 50 to 60 days' supply is seen as adequate. Honda officials are struggling to keep up with demand for the Civic, of which there is nine days' supply. "Inventories are as low or lower than they've ever been for the Civic," said Sage Marie, a Honda spokesman. "They're basically being bought right off the truck."
Even in truck-dominated Texas, people who have been buying trucks for years are rushing to get out of them.
While small car sales are helping to lift the Japanese automakers, Detroit's General Motors and Ford are sinking under the weight of large sport-utility vehicles, once the industry's cash cows. The two automakers have reported substantial slides in profits in their North American operations this year, and their bonds have junk status on Wall Street. The interest in small cars has caught the two automakers unprepared, said Dave Healy, an auto industry analyst at Burnham Securities in New York.
For the Big Three, Healy said, investment followed profit margins. "As long as the SUV segment was doing well, they poured money into that and neglected small cars," Healy said. "At that time you could have made a very good case that it was giving the public what it wants."
Healy and other analysts are predicting bleak results for Detroit automakers when they report sales results for September on Monday. Healy said large sport utility vehicles will be especially hard-hit after climbing in the summer due to "employee pricing for everyone" discount pricing sales. "We're looking at 20, 30, 40 percent yearly declines," Healy said. The spike in gasoline prices and the summer incentives have crushed SUV sales now.
Dealers say inventory of used SUVs is building up. Raj Sundaram, president of Automotive Lease Guide, which tracks vehicle resale values, said SUVs remain under pressure. "Can anybody answer the million-dollar question -- when is this going to turn around and end?" he said. "Nobody seems to know."
GM and Ford are getting some benefit from greater interest in small cars. George Pipas, Ford's U.S. sales analysis manger, said inventories are tight for the Focus passenger car. He said sales of the Focus have grown 10 percent in the past 90 days, compared with a year ago. Pipas said the small car segment is one of the hottest in the industry. To meet demand, he said, the Focus car plant in Wayne, Mich., has had fewer production shutdowns than in past years. "As far as we can see, Wayne is going to be running," Pipas said. "But the sales pace may outstrip our production for the foreseeable future."
Over the years, Detroit's investment in new cars has taken a back seat to developing more and more truck and SUV models. Last year, GM introduced the small Chevrolet Cobalt, but consumers were cool to the car early on. Ford hasn't significantly updated the Focus in the past six years. Both companies have new or redesigned models headed for showrooms in coming months. DaimlerChrysler is also concentrating on bringing out smaller SUVs that get better fuel economy, an area of sales growth in the industry.
Paul Ballew, GM's chief market analyst, said the level of consumer interest in small cars is being overplayed. He said Japanese automakers are benefiting most because of their experience in the segment, particularly in their home market. Meanwhile, Ballew said GM was having a "solid" small-car month, and he said GM will continue running its Lordstown, Ohio, plant where the Cobalt is assembled at a "very aggressive clip."
Ballew said GM will continue to watch the car market before making additional plans to bring out more small cars for American buyers. Honda and Toyota are moving forward. This month Honda launched the latest Civic that includes a remodeled hybrid and high-performance models. In recent years, Toyota launched the Scion brand -- a line of small cars that Toyota is marketing to younger buyers. Scion has a tight 7.2 days' supply.
