Oh, ikat. It's the one trendy pattern that still, after all this time, I still can't get enough of. Among those of us who love modern design, there's no room this pattern doesn't make better.
Maybe it's because there are so many different color variations and patterns within the designation of ikat that no matter what your style, the room type, or mood, there's probably an ikat to fit the occasion.
I'm loving the simple pops of ikat in the bedroom (top image) which is perfectly brought in with throw pillows, as well as the dramatic upholstery job on the dining chairs (above). And stunning chandeliers never hurt the modern design of any space!
ESL has you covered if you're in the market for a little dash of ikat, from lamp shades to pillows. Here are a few of my favorite pillows.

I am a huge advocate for adding color to a modern living room. Monochromatic rooms can be ultra cool but there is something so lively about color. Especially when added to a clean crisp neutral space. One color that tends to be overlooked is purple. It's a hard hue to mix other colors with and can sometimes feel too bold. Lately I've been seeing this royal color appear in some fantastic spaces. The key is to add splashes of purple. Too much can look too... well, purpley.
Above we see a modern space with a great art wall and bench seating. In the midst of other bold colors, the purple rug looks cool and youthful.
This sofa is adorned with pretty purple pillows to add just a touch of this color. We also see a purple amethyst piece on the coffee table that works effortlessly with the pillows. Cream and purple are a dynamic duo! Decorative pillows are a great way to add color to a room.
If you want to go a little more permanent with the color purple, try painting a half wall in a soft version of the hue. This room is full of neutral pieces so the purple is allowed to pop. A great color combo is lavender and green, as you can see (above).
If you are really unsure about using this color and worried that you might get weary of it too soon, take a clue from this room and try it out with one single pale purple pillow. It might be all of the purple that you need or want.

One could dub the ghost chair as a 'trend,' but I think with its versatility and clean design, ghost chairs are more deserving of the title 'classic.' They mix well with a number of different design aesthetics, especially since their transparent nature lends itself well to pairings with heavier furnishings.
The only problem? Ghost chairs can be notoriously expensive. Luckily, ESL has you covered and currently offers ghost chairs at a fraction of the price of other major retailers. Take a look -- can you spot the differences between this high/low?

Your kitchen always ends up being the gathering place in a home – whether you're hosting a party or just hanging out with the family. Because of this, it's time for everyone to spice up your modern kitchen island with some chic barstools. Some people go for comfort; for others, they only care about looks.
Then you have to think about the design of your modern barstools... It doesn't matter what style your home is – industrial, mid-century modern, traditional or minimalist – there is something for everyone's kitchen island.
Zuo Marius Red Bar Chair
Your kitchen will look all spruced up for a small price. Think of the modern barstool as kitchen jewelry. Today, I've pulled together three different looks for you, each one I love for a different reason.
I'm partial to the industrial look (above). This bright version is the perfect pop of color to bring into your kitchen.
Orson Black Leatherette Metal Modern Bar Stools
This Orson bar stool has a back. If you treat the counter as a place for chatting while cooking, a high-back stool will be more comfortable.
Anime Modern Transparent Acrylic Stackable Zuo Bar Stool
If you want your barstools to kind of disappear from a distance, acrylic is definitely the way to go.
I hope this helped and you find your ideal barstool!

Cheeky and fun, that's what Ms. Light & Airy is all about! The rising temperatures have her ecstatic to freshen up her space and her wardrobe, like with this Floral Sheath Dress from A-Thread.
A few of these Cosmo Mirrored Candle Wall Sconces placed strategically along her hallway or in the bath make everything feel bigger with their reflective surfaces, whether or not the candles are lit. Ms. Light & Airy has this Cirrus Gloss White Ceiling Fan in her living room to keep the space feeling fresh, it's clean lines and white finish help it almost disappear against a white ceiling!
Placing this Hand-Blown blue Bubble Glass Table Lamp in her entryway or at the end of a hall not only helps subtly offer some color, it also manages to be a statement accessory without feeling big and heavy. The materials of the Eileen Grey Chrome and Glass Accent Table keep it feeling just like Ms. Light & Airy, bright and clean. It would feel equally at home next to a chair in the living room or as a bedside table.
A set of these wide, comfy Zuo Whitworth Chrome White Modern Accent Chairs would help to make a little reading nook feel much bigger than it actually is. Ms. Light & Airy loves the open form and clean lines!

Campus Housing:
If you choose the nicer dorms price is too high. If you choose the cheaper dorms the quality is too low. Housing is never guaranteed either.
Well I don't really want to say anything positive about Rowan, but they didn't manage to mess up financial aid. I received the amount of money I deserved and the process was fairly simple
Its okay weather. A decent variety but more on the cooler side than anything else.
It's a D3 school so athletics are nearly nonexistent and pretty useless. The gym is kind of nice though.
Local Atmosphere:
Glassboro is an awful, dirty, dangerous, ghetto, and drugged up city. I'm sure you can extrapolate with that much information.
Greek Life:
If you haven't noticed it by now, I really do not care for the drinking and partying aspect of college so I don't know anything about the Greek Life. I'm sure you can do all kinds of "fun" and illegal things though if you join.
It's sad that people look into schools just for their parties. Well if you want to party and not to learn then Rowan's your place to be. There's ton of underage drinking and a myriad of illegal substance abuse. The bar often let in underage kids too.
Campus Strictness:
It's college. There are drugs, alcohol, and parties. Rowan doesn't really seem to be trying to stop them though.
Work load is to be expected. The professors are next to incompetent. The Electrical and Computer Engineering program, for some odd reason, puts a lot of focus on subjects you wont be using at all like Chemistry. Also, did I mention the professors are next to incompetent?
Health & Safety:
Glassboro is an awful town plain and simple. The only time you notice it on campus though is when people come back hammered from parties.
It aggravates me to death that they grouped Electrical and Computer Engineering together. I would have loved to take Computer Engineering alone and not have to deal with the Electrical Engineering part. It was a breeze to get in though. They really should raise the standards for admission.
The professors so far have no idea what they're doing. Any learning I've done has been on my own time rather than in class. I somehow still managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA, though I cannot say the same about others.
Overall, Rowan's WiFi is decent. The computers available in the labs are out of date but they work just as well as any new ones. Printing is at a fair price plus students are given printing credits so it really isn't bad at all.
I don't really use the transportation but I've heard it's decent.
Some of the computers are out of date and wireless can be slow
It's a lot of information to share in order receive financial aid. Most of the time, I am not offered the financial aid I need.
I got nearly a full ride in scholarships. It was easy.
Local Atmosphere:
I like all of the trees on campus. Seriously pretty.
I have no idea I do not go to parties and all that jazz.
Off-Campus Housing:
I have no idea really as I have always lived on campus.
I went to a football game once. It was very cold but fun.
I rarely use the campus computer since I have my own.
Its the weather. What more do you want. Carry an umbrella when the forecast is for rain.
I do not know as I stay on campus for the most part.
Health & Safety:
The new health and wellness center is beautiful and clean.

Rowan University is more than you'd expect from a New Jersey state university. With a student body of close to 10,000 students, the University is a great size—it has a close-knit feel, but you'll still probably meet someone new every day. With a nationally acclaimed engineering program, the University attracts some of the best and brightest. The Rowan experience exists far beyond the classroom though. On any given weekday night, there is always something to do. Whether it's a University-planned event, bingo at Rowan After Hours, or a fraternity party, there is something for everyone.
Rowan is home to a humble student body, so if you put yourself out there, there's a good chance you'll meet some of the greatest friends you will ever make. As far as academics go, if you put in a lot of work, you'll get a lot back. The professors genuinely care about the students' success and often encourage everyone to share their opinions in class. Projects, including the addition of the Rowan Boulevard Apartments and the Cooper Medical School, prove that Rowan is looking to grow from a state school of regional interest to a nationally recognized university.

i doing a application which can draw nurbs, find the intersection and fill the nurbs...
What are you creating nurbs in and for?
yes, i know where is the control point of my curve (nurbs). so, anywhere to get the intersec point? then how to get the intersec point of the normal cubic curve?
I believe I was partially wrong in the above. I think the farther it is from the line, the more pull a single point has on it. Although I'm sure you can implement it both ways.
Ooh. Fair enough. I'd never heard of that terminology before. OK then, just ignore the above post, sorry!
What he means by cubic nurb is different than a cubic polynomial.
yaya.. i want to know where 2 curve(Nurbs) cross each other. sorry, dont really get what you means. can explain futher to me ? thanks..
Do you mean where one cubic curve crosses the x-axis or where two cubic curves cross each other?
hi.. anyone know what is the formula to get the intersection point between cubic curve(Nurbs)?

Just imagine that you may need a rice cooker in order to make sure that your rice is always cooked thoroughly and deliciously. This is the moment when you may have two important opportunities to choose from: local stores or virtual ones.
So, before choosing one of them you have to know that the online field can include a wide range of retailers such as http://www.ricecookersportal.com/. This instantly means a wider range of choices when it comes to purchasing these devices. Local stores include only a limited number of devices. Also, the online field is more likely to help you purchase the perfect rice cooker fast and easy while the local stores imply a lot of time for these processes.

Are you looking for a budget trip to Coron for 3days and 2 nights? I bet Google led you to this page.
Coron, situated at the northern part of Palawan, has a lot to offer to the curious traveler. If you have limited time in your vacation and limited budget, then here are the best sights to see in Coron in 3days and 2 nights without tearing your pocket.
For only Php 3,436.44, you will be able to enjoy the following Coron Tourist Attractions including 3days, 2nights stay, roundtrip airport transfers, island hopping with picnic lunch, and daily breakfast:
- Kayangan Lake- Kayangan Lake is touted as one of the cleanest lakes in the Philippines. Its water is brackish, a mixture of salt and freshwater. It's great to swim in the serene Kayangan Lake. Before getting to the actual lake itself, you have to climb an improvised or should i say natural staircase up to get a view of the famous limestone karst formations that have become Coron's most photographed site.
- Twin Lagoon- this site is another noteworthy attraction in Coron, Palawan. Why? Twin Lagoon is unique where you can experience thermocline or a thin layer that divides the surface of a body of water. The upper layer is cold while the lower layer is warm. And it's also thrilling to get inside the lagoon through a cave like-entrance which is only accessible when it's low tide.
- Banol Beach- It may not have a long stretch of white sand but Banol has a distinct charm being surrounded by limestone karst. The view of different hues of blues from Banol beach is fantastic.
- CYC Island and Coral Gardens- Swimming and snorkeling is great here. You can also enjoy watching the sunset from this area.
- Twin Peaks Reef or Siete Pecados- For me, snorkeling at Twin Peaks Reef is better than Siete Pecados. It has more colorful marine life.
Traveling does not need to be expensive. You can enjoy your Coron Vacation without having to cash out all your savings. But of course, you should not expect posh accommodations but a basic lodge in Coron Town.
Enjoy your trip!

Create short-term contests with individual travel awards and keep motivation high during the qualification period for your big group trip.
It isn't the promise of an engraved pen set that shifts sales reps into high gear. It isn't the corporate logo polo shirt either. It's the exhilaration of boarding flights bound for places they've never been. It's departing in snow and landing in sunshine. Nothing motivates like seeing the country - or the world - on the company's dime. But the year (or more) of working to qualify for a big group incentive conference can start to drag. How can you keep the spring in the step of sales reps so they'll remain in the game for the long haul?
One answer: individual incentive travel certificates.
Individual travel awards offer flexibility for recipients, who get to choose their travel time and destinations, and simplicity for meeting planners, whose "planning" is done as soon as they hand over the certificates to the winners.
Jump-Start Sales Jana Stern, director of conventions at ReliaStar Life in Minneapolis, for example, ran a six-month contest to boost sales, rewarding her winners with individual incentive travel certificates. Three prize levels were awarded: a two-day Marriott hotel stay, a three-day stay, or a three-day stay plus air.
More than 200 of the 2,500 eligible agents qualified for trips and the contest increased sales at an even higher rate than expected.
Among the drawbacks of using individual incentives, according to Stern, is the fact that some winners forget about them and then request extensions after they've passed the expiration date. (Awards are typically valid for 12 months.) "Marriott was extremely flexible and easy to work with," Stern says, but she adds that next time around she'd consider sending out reminders to recipients when expiration dates near.
Also, some qualifiers assumed that air was included, even when they'd won just the hotel certificate, so Stern points out the necessity of clearly stating what the award entails. She negotiated the price of the certificates upon purchase: "The more I bought, the better the rate."
Overall, she was pleased with the outcome of the competition. "Conventions are great for networking, but our agents loved the fact that this trip was just for them and a guest," she says. "It was a nice perk, and it drove sales."
Jack Connor, of Global Incentives in Boston, believes that individual incentives work because of their immediacy. "It's not just any trip, it's a special trip, and one they wouldn't ordinarily be taking," he says. Create as many memories as the budget will allow, he advises corporate customers, to reap the dual benefits of employee loyalty and a strengthened family support system. "A spouse who also enjoyed the trip will be more supportive of the lengths it takes to get there next time."
Here's a directory of certificate programs offered by the major hotel companies and airlines.

This brutal heat wasn't keeping Phillies fans from sitting outside, under the sun, and watching their favorite team today.
"Ice cold water; Ice cold Gatorade," shouted a vendor.
Those are only some of the things a crowd of more than 38,000 people used to brave the heat during the Phillies' action against Atlanta at Citizens Bank Park.
Everyone has their own story of survival.
"It's about 102 in the seat. They roasted. I had to put my shirts on the back of the seat just to sit down it was that hot," says one fan.
"We were trying to stay between the sections so that the wind was blowing through but it was still awfully hot," says another.
"We try to do the best we can to stay hydrated. Drink a lot of water," says a third.
"We had like 3 Iced Teas and a water and I'm still I got more drinks in the car. We're going to get some more stuff now. That's how hot it is today," says another fan.
Keeping the sun away from the eyes seemed to help a little bit as well.
Lola Carullo, a Phillies fan, had a visor on her head. "It was real hot in there, she says. "At least 95 degrees, I guess. We had the water; we had towels around our neck."
And then there's the more liberating way to catch a breeze: apparently pants are over rated!
"Being true Phillies fans. I'm out here in my boxers living life," says the man who left his shorts home.
And then there's this guy who says he's ready for anyone still hanging around after the game.
"Cold water and Gatorade? Cold water and Gatorade that's it," says the man.
But the best way to stay cool may have been a little ways away.
"It's really hot out here so water ice really makes you cool down," says two customers at John's Water Ice.
Turns out a lot of other people thought so too. John's Water Ice at 7th and Christian Street had a steady flow of hot people looking for some relief, and maybe a quick sugar fix too.
Walter Lynch says,"Cherry and chocolate. Nice mixture. Don't think of chocolate that's not a water ice flavor, it's a great flavor."
Brenda Nguyen says, "I actually grew up around here so this is like my childhood place to go for something cool."
"Everybody's been overheated. They all want water ice. Doing our job," says the owner John Cardullo.
John Cardullo says he's just fine with some high temps if it means a boost to business .
"Keep the hot weather coming," he says.

Today is the start of May. That means Bills training camp begins in just about twelve weeks. OK, give a few days or so either way. For that, here are twelve things I'm thinking about the Bills after the draft and all the free agent signings. Or maybe it's twelve things because Jim Kelly wore #12?! Honestly, I just wanted a number and had to make up a reason. So twelve it is……
1. I'm thinking the Bills, privately, really want EJ Manuel to win the starting QB job out of camp. But publicly, don't want to put the sort of pressure on him that goes along with saying that, much less declaring him the starter before camp begins. My sense is Manuel, Kevin Kolb, and Tarvaris Jackson will get roughly the same amount of reps and snaps with the first team offense once training camp officially starts, but that either Kolb or Jackson will have to clearly be better than Manuel to earn the opening day job over the team's first-round draft choice. If it's anywhere close, Manuel will get the call. It's his job to lose.
2. I want to write this one as carefully as possible, because I know some will take it wrong. I think Marcell Dareus CAN be a very good nose tackle. And I'm totally ok with him playing there and even excited to see what he can do there. But I don't think it's where he's best suited as a football player. Dareus will play a lot of nose when the team goes to a 3-4. True nose tackles have to be 2-gap players. Guys who can hold up both gaps on either side of the center. Guys whose job it is - above all - to stand their ground and take away two and sometimes even three blockers. Not to penetrate vey often. Dareus may be very good at doing this. But considering how athletic he is for a man his size, I've always seen him more of a single-gap, penetrating defensive lineman. A guy who can use his quickness to try and get into the backfield and also be able to chase down plays. Really, I'm all for almost anything new with this defense because they were so bad last year. I just hope Dareus' best assets aren't wasted by keeping him in the middle eating up space.
3. The above said, I'm very excited o see Mario Williams move back and forth and around in Mike Pettine's new hybrid defense. I really believe part of Williams' struggles last year had to do with him being stationary. Teams knew exactly where he'd be and exactly what he'd do on almost every play. And Williams is a streaky player. Once he gets going, he seems to feed off his own energy and play. Moving him around and not placing him in a stationary position will allow him to be more engaged - and energized.
4. I love the fact CJ Spiller
is should be getting more carries this season. We were all frustrated with his lack of touches last year. He should be the unquestioned starter at running back and can be a consistently elite back in the NFL because of it. But Fred Jackson has somehow become "the forgotten man" this offseason. He's still a very good player and very important to the Bills in 2013. Yes, he's now 32 years old. But Jackson won't have to be the primary ball carrier and take the same pounding he did last year. He'll be able to stay more fresh and that's going to be very important considering the type of offense Nathaniel Hackett is going to employ. Fast-paced and up-tempo. This year, when we hear "CJ needed a breather" come out of a coach's mouth, he'll most likely be right.
5. Piggy-backing on the point above, let's also not forget about Tashard Choice, who played well in his limited time on the field last season. Choice and Jackson together are a nice complement to Spiller. They can pick up the tough inside yards when needed to keep the wear-and-tear off CJ. Spiller can handle the inside stuff much better than people still want to give him credit for. And there will be many times he's asked and needed to do that. But with guys like Jackson and Choice behind him, why force him to do that more than he has to? Jackson and Choice are also very good insurance policies to have if Spiller happens to miss any time. In fact, you can make a solid argument that the Bills have one of the best overall stable of running backs in the NFL right now.
6. Despite the recent draft and grabbing two of them, I'm still concerned about the safety position. Even if Jairus Byrd's contract situation gets worked out - which is certainly not a guarantee - the Bills don't have a solid go-to guy to play opposite him. Aaron Williams will be new to the position at the pro level. And even though I've always said he's better suited for safety and welcome that change, he was also bad in coverage last season and there's no simple formula that guarantees he'll be better at it this season when he has to step up against a tight end or slot receiver. Da'Norris Searcy has been a nice backup player but has only started three games in his two-year career (none last season). He still has plenty to prove. What is Bryan Scott? A safety? A linebacker? And as much as we'd all like one of the drafted rookies, Duke Williams or Jonathan Meeks, to become a Day One starter, the fact is no one else on the roster is ready to take on the task of covering Rob Gronkowski one play and tackling a running back the next.
7. So the Bills essentially traded wide receivers Donald Jones and David Nelson for Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin, and/or Da'Rick Rogers. Both Jones and Nelson had specific areas they excelled at. For Jones, who came on well after being forced into a starting role last season, his biggest asset as a receiver was his strength. But his best contributions to the team came as a good blocker on the edge or downfield. For Nelson, he had the best hands on the team. If the ball hit his hands, he caught it. But he wasn't fast enough to pull away from defenders nor strong enough to go up and fight for 50/50 balls and bring them down. I'm still not sold on Goodwin as anything other than a wideout who is going to take some time to adjust to the NFL game. Goodwin may eventually be a solid player, but don't expect too much from him this season. But Woods and Rogers are different cases. Woods is ready to play in the league right now. In fact, I think he's going to start opening weekend against the Patriots. And he and Rogers both have a much higher ceiling than Jones and Nelson did. We saw what those two had and it was never going to be anything more than that.
8. I really don't know the exact way to feel about the tight end position right now. I think I should be concerned about it because the only player who made any significant contribution at the position last year, Scott Chandler, is coming off a torn ACL and it happened in late December. Who knows if he'll even be ready for camp? Chandler caught 43 passes last season. After that, the sum total of catches by all Bills tight ends was a whopping FOUR! The only tight ends currently on the roster are Chandler, Lee Smith, Mike Caussin, and 7th-round draft choice Chris Gragg. But I keep telling myself I shouldn't be concerned because the fact is no one's sure how the offense will be used in Hackett's new offense. How often will one even be on the field? Will he be asked to block? Will there be a lot less tight end and more H-back this season? I guess I'll settle on the word "intrigued" to describe how I feel about the spot. For now.
9. A lot was made about the Bills drafting and signing more "edgy" players this year. Intentional or not, there were clearly a few more players with legal incidences brought in this April than we've seen in recent years. My sense is the organization feels much better about the ability of Doug Marrone to handle these players and surround them with the right type of environment than they did with Chan Gailey. Gailey was a very nice man and had a lot of respect from his players. But he also was too concerned about hurting players' feelings when it came to playing time and getting the ball. Marrone, on the other hand, is known to be a "draw the line" type of coach. He's had (unfortunately for us Syracuse football fans) plenty of experience dealing with players and legal issues. After Marrone was hired at Syracuse, his discipline policies were a complete 180 from the previous Orange regime. Most likely not coincidentally, more than 20 players left the Syracuse program between the time he was hired and his 2nd season as head coach.
10. Speaking of Marrone and Syracuse, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if undrafted free agent guard Zack Chibane, who played at Syracuse under Marrone and Hackett, made the Bills final roster. Like many had said leading up to the draft about quarterback Ryan Nassib and lineman Justin Pugh, Chibane knows Hackett's offense well, and the coaches know him. It says something that Chibane was the only Syracuse player either drafted or signed as an UDFA by the new regime. Also, Chibane is just a bit lighter than the other guards on the Bills roster. In fact, other than long snapper Garrison Sanborn, Chibane is the only offensive lineman listed at less than 300 pounds. Yes, that's small, but it's also the kind of guard the Bills want to have, at least in some capacity, for their faster offense that will require players to play more up-tempo.
11. I was extremely surprised the Bills did not select a pure cornerback in the draft. Buddy Nix always says you can't have enough of them. In today's pass-happy and spread-offense-happy NFL, he's right. But more importantly, the team is a bit thin at the position right now. As it stands, the only true corners on the roster are Stephon Gilmore, Leodis McKelvin, Ron Brooks, Crezdon Butler, Kip Edwards, Vernon Kearney, Nickell Robey, Justin Rogers, TJ Heath, and Jumal Rolle. It's ok if you've never heard of a few of these guys. But that's the point. I keep looking at that list and then reminding myself the Bills have Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Josh Freeman, Andy Dalton, and Ben Roethlisberger on the 2013 schedule. Oh, and Tom Brady. Twice.
12. So about those cornerbacks. If Leodis McKelvin is going to start, and he should be penciled in there opposite Stephon Gilmore right now, I'm curious to see if he still handles punt and kick return duties as regularly. Most teams don't like to have their starting skill position players also returning punts and kicks, but McKelvin is so good and dangerous at both, the Bills could be losing a weapon and field position advantage by NOT having him as their primary returner. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.
That reminds me, what happens with Brad Smith this season? Wait. That would make it 13 points. I can't go that far. At least not yet……..

I keep getting asked what are you going to do about the election? Who do you like? What do you hope for? What does it mean? And so on.
Well, okay, I guess like everyone else, I ought to have an opinion or two – though I am not entirely sure why. And I guess these substantive questions are much better than more typical pundit pontifications about who is wearing what, or smiling at who, or getting nervous, or being confident. As to why I ought to care, of course I hear the bell tolling: The fate of the planet hinges on it. Well, I hear that,yes, but it isn't my bell. I doubt, first off, that the key factor in their being a future or not, or even in what shape that future will take, is who becomes president. It has never seemed all that central to me, and it won't become so, I suspect, unless there is really someone in place to win who would want to make a real difference, and who might have the means to do so. Not to mention voters being able to discern any actual honest differences amidst all the obfuscation, emptyness, and downright lies.
But Obama, some would say to me, he's the real deal. He's much much more progressive than Clinton. And then others say, in my other ear – I do have two, still – but Clinton, Clinton has the means and the heart for it. She is much much more able and schooled than Obama. The former person says, a black president, a black president, how can we not seek a black president? But in two part disharmony, at the same time, I hear, a woman president, a woman president, how can we not seek a woman president?
I think the claims querying my doubts are wrong. Neither candidate wants to matter – in the way that I mean the word, at any rate, as in truly serving the interests of the poor and weak, or even serving anyone other than the rich and powerful, save as a derivative necessity. In that sense, neither Obama or Clinton are particularly progressive. Obama is arguably, based on statements, a bit better on international relations. But contrary to what many on the left seem to think, Clinton appears, however, again based on statements, to be a bit better on domestic issues. But regadless of who is a little better or a ltitle worse on this or on that, the gaps between them, even if we take their words as gospel accounts of their real views – which only an idiot would do – are tiny. As to bringing real change, neither has any chance of doing that unless there is a massive outpouring of desire, or unless the country's condition literally requires change – which I happen to think is going to prove to be the case – and if both those conditions hold, either or both the candidates will bring change, whether it was their intention or not. But as to one of them making change that wouldn't happen in any case and wouldn't happen if the other was in office, neither candidate has the means for that unless one or the other really appeals downward, to the poor, galvanizing serious comittment and conviction and comprehension – for real program. And, sad to say – but of course, if it were otherwise they wouldn't have gotten this far – neither Obama or Clinton is about doing that. That difference, one that would really matter, isn't there.
On the other side of the coin, I admit that part of me is astounded – black/black, woman/woman – just like the comitted advocates. That a black and a woman are competing to be the candidate and that one is going to win is incredible, in my view, and a real indicator not really about them, or about the process, but about the massive historical gains accomplished despite all the left's problems, over the past few decades. The country is not nearly the malignant, overtly racist, overtly sexist, pathetic briar patch it was not long ago.
I think someone wanting Obama to be president, a black president, is fine. I think someone wanting Clinton to be president, a woman president, is fine. I think, other things aside – though in the end, other things matter too – it is wonderful that both are conceivable and one may happen. And I think either occurance will have very very positive effects for young people of all backgrounds, boosting hope and confidence in some constituencies, reducing fear and loathing in others. Absolutely. But all that, while true, is different than saying these particular candidates are the second coming of of Emma Goldman or MLK Jr. Those who say they, or at least Obama, echoes JFK have a much much better claim to accuracy – but that accuracy doesn't excite me. Kennedy was in substance a gigantic trojan horse horror for the planet and society, a kind of massive fraud: cute, clever, confident, and charasmatic, but system preserving in every other respect, and in many dimensions, system aggravating. You can hide a lot behind inspiring words and big smiles, it turns out. Saying Obama is cut from that cloth is not a testimonial, it is just saying he has better camouflage than Clinton.
But Michael, Michael, Michael – both ears are bombarded – I know you hate everyone who is associated with anything other than revolution yesterday – but forget that for a minute. What do you think about their relative merits? Shouldn't we all support one and reject the other, and decry as devils anyone who opts for any other view?
Well no. I can see a person of good will and understanding – a leftist – voting for Obama or for Clinton in a primamy, to become the candidate. And I can see a person then voting for either of them against The Bombadier, or instead, in a safe state, voting for a third party candidate. But I can't see any of those perfectly understandable choices being so CORRECT or so MORAL or so WISE that a person making it ought to feel like everyone who disagrees and makes a different one of those choices is an idiot or a sell out, a racist or a sexist, on that account.
Insofar as something matters in this election it is that someone other than The Bombadier wins. And regretably, that is not a certainty. But, after beating McCain, what matters is that progressive and left sentiment and activism grows, rather than it getting displaced into some kind of love affair with the new black or female president – and that is not a sure thing, either.
As leftists, and people reading this blog likely are that, I don't think we have a lot to contribute to who is the democratic candidate or whether the democratic candidate defeats The Bombadier. On those fronts, we are esentially spectators. But about whether opposition grows or fades after the election, which is all important, regarding that we are key players. And that's where our efforts seem to me to be best spent.
But but but, I hear, Obama, Obama, Obama. Well, listen up, the crap about joining hands is crap. Obama's economic advisers are indistinguishable from Clinton's. And so on. The things I think about, when I think about this at all, are, I admit, odd compared to others rumination. I think (a) will racism allow McCain to win more than Clinton being old line and mysogyny, will allow him to, or vice versa. Who can better beat McCain. No way to know – so I stop thinking about it. I think (b) if Obama arouses masssive hope and involvement and then lets everyone down, will it produce anger leading to opposition that compels gains, or will it produce new cyncism and therfore nothing much good? No way to know – so I stop thinking about it. I think (c) will Clinton winning despite being old style cause there to be a serious left opposition right out of the gate (unlike with Bill) in turn compeling gains, or will it deaden invovlement and produce nothing much good? No way to know – so I stop thinking about it.
If we get the Bombadier it will be a depressing commentary indeed on our society…incredibly so. If we get either Obama or Clinton it will be a historic step in the grand march toward actual civilized life because of what it says about consciousness throughtout the land. How much more it engenders will be up to those who put on pressure for more. And that should be us. So get ready. Don't get sidetracked.

Brrrr returns – Watercolour in a Watercolour Moleskine
It snowed in many parts of the north of Scotland this week. The ski centres are "tentatively" open having closed a mere 140 days ago. This is the Aonach Eagach ridge on the east side of Glen Coe, an are to experience the first real snows of the winter. Although I haven't been there, this season, this photo is based upon a summer photo I took a few years ago. I've been along this ridge once – never again. That was in good weather. I don't fancy this in snow although the views are spectacular.
Last winter I attempted many snow scenes – my "Brrrr scenes". I'm looking forward to more inspiration in the coming months.

Andrew H Larsen
Born: Oslo, Norway
Died: Portland, Multnomah, Oregon

Taken from Newspaper Article

Miss Amellia Larsen, of Portland, daughter of A.H. Larsen, of Scappoose, was married to Albert Siferte, of Fort Stevens, Oregon, Wednesday, 2 p.m., September 16th. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Lafayette Brown [Hannah Larsen], at Scappoose, and the officiating clergyman was Reverend O.W. Allen.

The wedding was one of those quiet but long to be remembered affairs by all those present. The bride is well known in this vicinity, it having been her home in former years. The groom is in the government employ at Fort Stevens as engineer.

The bride was attired in white satin with white rose carnations. The groom was tastily attired for the occasion, and together looked the picture of happiness as they stood at the Hymenial altar where they were made one.

Immediately after the ceremony the guests were invited to partake of the wedding feast, which had been prepared by Mrs. Lafe Brown, and which all enjoyed to the utmost.

The young couple took the evening train for Portland for a short visit, after which they will reside at Fort Stevens. All friends and realtives wished the young couple a long, happy and prosperous life.

My Notes taken from Wedding Book: Bridal Party was the brides father A.H. Larsen & sister Margaret Larsen, brother-in-law Lafe Brown & brides sister Hannah Brown, bride's brother Henry Larsen and sister Josephine May, friends Henry & Cordia White, friends J.B.Duncan and wife Olive, nephew Valdes White and friend Ethel White.

LARSEN - At the residence, 67 Ella Street, Portland, Oregon, August 13, A.H. Larsen, aged 73 years, beloved father of Mrs. Hannah Brown, Scappoose, Oregon, Mrs. Amelia Siferte and Mrs. Josephine Thompson, of Portland; son, Henry Larsen of Brooks, Oregon; Mrs. Margaret Cleary, of Laramie, Wyoming; Lillian Larsen of Portland. Remains will be forwarded at 8:10 A.M. tomorrow (Thursday), August 16, by Miller & Tracey, to Scappoose, Oregon where interment will take place.

(Andrew passed away at his daughter, Amelia's home.)

Letter from Bertha Foss to her deceased husband, Otto Christian Foss' niece, Amelia Larsen Siferte.

From: Bertha Foss, Route 1, Pelican Rapids, Minnesota

To: Amelia Larsen Siferte, 511 NE Lawrence Street, Portland, Oregon

February 10, 1941

My Dear Niece,

Your dear letter addressed to Clara has been received and thank you very much. Well, it is my sad duty to inform you that Clara is not with us any more. She passed away March 10, 1934. She had not been feeling well for some time and the Doctor advised her to have an opperation and she went to a Hospital in Fargo and had the opperation and she seemed to be getting along nicely but it suddenly turned to the worst and she died the next day. She died 3 years after her Father died.

I suppose Clara told you that we had moved into town to live. We built a nice new house there in 1928 but Pa didn't live to injoy it very long.

Clara and Emma was staying with me then but Emma went out to Montana the next fall to be with her brother [Peter Seilstad] when he died. Then she staid with his familie out there for about a year and then she died too so when Clara passed away I was there all alone and my health is not very good. I have a crippled leg so have to use a crutch to get around in the house so I am quite helpless but I am 86 years old now and can't expect to get any better. I rented my house in town and moved back to the farm again to live with Oscar and his familie. They have 3 girls, the oldest is 11 years old and two twin girls, 7 years old.

It was so interesting to read your letter and see about the different members of the familie. I knew your Father & Mother [Andrew H. Larsen & Anna Olsen Larsen] real well and I can well remember you and Hannah [Amelia's sister]. I used to see you down at your grand parents and Margaret and Maxine [Amelia's sister & neice] was down here to visit me once so I have seen them and I think we have pictures of most all of you.

Am glad to see that you are feeling well and can work with your flowers. Yes, I am sure you have some beautiful flowers out there. I love flowers too and used to raise lots of them when I lived on the farm but now can't do it any more.

Suppose you remember *Hannah, Otto and Carl Olsen. They are all working. Hanna is working for a familie in Fargo. She has got a very nice place. Otto is staying in Pelican and Carl is working in Detroit Lakes. His is married and has one girl.

See you are having nice weather and no snow out there. Well, not so here. We have plenty of snow and when it drifts into the road they have to do lots of shoveling to get through.

Am afraid it will be hard for you to get anything out of this letter because I am such a poor writer but was so pleased to get your letter so will try and send a few lines any way and thank you for writing to us.

With love to you all, Bertha Foss

Hannah, Otto & Carl are the children of Amelia's Uncle Anton Olsen.

Product Testimonials
Chromemate Testimonials
Chromemate feels like a miracle for me. I am finally able to live my life. I used to always have to have something handy, on a run, errands, whatever, because my blood sugar drops like a stone. A few times I've even had double vision. I am slender and work out 2-4 hrs daily triathlon training. As far as I'm concerned Chromemate is awesome! - Molly Grygiel
Because of Chromemate, I now continuously have a clear mind and a high energy level. My physical performance is improving and my recovery is remarkable. - Wiley Lisonbee
In the first day or two of using Chromemate, I instantly noticed that I didn't have the sugar cravings that I normally have. I also noticed while I am at work, I don't go through the "sleepy times" I normally go through. It is nice to go through my work day with a constant energy level! - Timari Pruis
I am amazed how the Chromemate really works keeping my sweet tooth at bay. Usually I am always craving for some Swedish Fish or other related junk food. Taking one of these pills 3 times a day with meals has really made this sweet tooth disappear! I am absolutely amazed with the result of this product! - Eric Model
I started training this season weighing 218 pounds, with the goal of dropping 20-25 pounds. I took on a healthier more natural diet, and started taking Chromemate to improve my insulin efficiency. Since I started a regiment of Chromemate, I now have stable energy levels, no 3pm fade at the office, better results from training, and I'm 18 pounds lighter after 2 months! Thank you Hammer! - Jon Anderson
Chromemate has helped me stay motivated while training. I take a Chromemate capsule with Recoverite after each workout and before lunch. Chromemate has provided me with a great abundance of energy. I do not have that late afternoon crash and I have the energy for my evening training sessions. The product is as described. If you are looking for that edge to stay motivated and have enough energy for training, Chromemate is your answer. Thank you! - Chris Armoreda

In order to predict if there will be a precipitate in a reaction, the solubility of the substances involved must be known. There are rules, or guidelines, strictly devoted to determining solubility of substances. If a substance involved is not soluble, the reaction will form a precipitate.
When a substance is mixed with its solvent, there are a few different possible results. What makes the difference between what happens as a result of this mixture is the solubility of the substance, which is the upper limit of the concentration of the solute. The solubility rules help determine which substances are soluble, and to which extent, so that we can find out what the result of the mixture will be.
Based on the solubility of a substance, there are a few different possible results in reactions. 1) If the solution has less solute than the maximum amount that it is able (its solubility limit) to dissolve, it is known as a dilute solution. 2) If the solution's amount of solute is exactly the same amount as its solubility limit, it is known as saturated. 3) If there is more solute than is able to be dissolved, the excess solute begins to separate from the solution. If this separation includes crystallization, it forms a precipitate. The function of precipitation is to lower the concentration of the solute to the saturated level in order to make the solution more stable.
The following are the Solubility Rules for common ionic solids. If there is a case in which two of these contradict each other, the preceding rule must be followed.
Here is a catchy song about Solubility Rules that you can use to remember these more effectively!
1. Is FeCO3 soluble?
Rule #5 tells us that carbonates tend to be insoluble. Therefore, FeCO3 is likely to form a precipitate.
2. Does ClO4- tend to form a precipitate?
This is perchlorate, which Rule #2 tells us is likely to be soluble. Therefore, it will not form a precipitate.
3. Which of these substances is likely to form a precipitate?
a) CaSO4 b) table salt c) AgBr
Letters a and c are both likely to form precipitates.
In a) Ca SO4 although it is a sulfate and sulfates tend to be soluble, Rule #6 tells us that calcium sulfate is an important exception to this rule.
For b), Rule #1 tells us table salt (NaCl) is soluble because it is a salt of an alkali metal.
C) is an example of two rules contradicting each other. Rule #4 tells us that bromides are usually soluble, but Rule #3 tells us that salts of silver are insoluble. Since Rule #3 precedes Rule #4, the compound is insoluble and will form a precipitate.
4. Predict if a precipitate will form as a result of this reaction:
2AgNO3 + Na2S -----> Ag2S + 2NaNO3
We need to look at the products of the reaction, and if either one of the substances that formed as a result of the reaction are insoluble, a precipitate will form.
Looking at NaNO3, Rule #3 tells us that nitrates tend to be soluble. This compound does not imply that a precipitate will form.
Now, let's look at Ag2S. Rule #5 tells us that sulfides tend to be insoluble. Therefore, this compound shows that a precipitate will form in this reaction.
5. Predict if a precipitate will form as a result of this reaction:
2NaOH + K2CrO4 -----> KOH + Na2CrO4
We need to look at the products of the reaction, and if either one of the substances that formed as a result of the reaction are insoluble, a precipitate will form.
The first product, KOH, is an example of two rules contradicting each other. Although Rule #5 says that hydroxides tend to be insoluble, Rule #1 states that salts of alkali metal cations tend to be soluble, and Rule #1 precedes Rule #5. Therefore, this compound will not contribute to any precipitation being formed.
The second product, Na2CrO4, also adheres to Rule #1, which states that salts of alkali metals tend to be soluble.
Since both products are soluble, no precipitate form as a result of this reaction.

Buddy Collings | Orlando Sentinel Varsity Writer
3:00 PM EST, November 26, 2012
Former Daytona Beach Mainland and LSU linebacker E.J. Kuale had two tackles, one for loss, and a blocked kick to help the Toronto Argonauts win 35-22 over a team that once released him -- the Calgary Stampeders – in Sunday's Canadian Football League Grey Cup championship game.
Kuale spent parts of three seasons in the NFL with New Orleans and Kansas City (2007-09).
Olympia grad Maurice Price had two catches for 17 yards , including a late TD reception, for Calgary. Price spent time with six NFL teams as a wide receiver.
