A wonder,
This review is from: Cuisinart Blend and Cook Soup and Beverage Maker (Black) (Kitchen)
I was looking for a blender that improved on my old one for making smoother smoothies. This machine does that but it also makes - and COOKS - soup! Having an all-in-one device to saute vegetables, simmer and then blend into a delicious and velvety smooth soup is great, especially at the time of year when it's cold outside and soups always seem to taste so good.
It takes a little getting used to to hear the sound of butter sizzling in the bottom of your blender rather than over the stove, but what a great device. I have been using it daily.

Moody's CEO Warned Profit Push Posed a Risk to Quality of Ratings
The chief executive of Moody's Corp. MCO 0.46 % told directors last year that the credit-ratings firm's push to increase profitability posed a "risk" to the quality of the ratings process, according to an internal document released at a House hearing Wednesday.
The five-hour hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee included a string of emails and other documents that showed in unflattering detail how far Moody's and Standard & Poor's, which dominate the business of rating debt securities, went to accommodate bond issuers that generated giant fees for the two firms during the housing boom.
Private Concerns
From an April 2007 instant-message exchange between two S&P employees:
Rahul Dilip Shah: 'btw -- that deal is ridiculous'
Shannon Mooney: 'I know right ... model def does not capture half of the risk'
Shah: 'we should not be rating it'
Mooney: 'it could be structured by cows and we would rate it'
Shah: 'but there's a lot of risk associated with it -- I personally do not feel comfy signing off as a committee member'
While both firms have shaken up their management ranks, tightened conflict-of-interest rules and made other sweeping changes in hopes of restoring their credibility, lawmakers were skeptical that those moves are enough. "The story of the credit-rating agencies is a story of colossal failure," said Rep. Henry Waxman (D., Calif.), chairman of the House committee.
The Moody's CEO, Raymond McDaniel, insisted to committee members Wednesday that Moody's ratings weren't influenced by the bottom line. But company documents suggested that he and other Moody's executives were torn between maintaining the integrity of the ratings process and easing standards in an effort to win more business.
"Analysts and MDs [managing directors] are continually 'pitched' by bankers, issuers, investors -- all with reasonable arguments -- whose views can color credit judgment, sometimes improving it, other times degrading it (we 'drink the kool-aid')," the CEO wrote in a presentation for directors in October 2007, according to a document released by the committee. "Coupled with strong internal emphasis on market share & margin focus, this does constitute a 'risk' to ratings quality."
Another document underscored the tension and anxiety expressed by some Moody's employees as subprime-mortgage-related securities awarded top ratings by the firm were staggered by ballooning delinquencies. Billions of dollars worth of mortgage-backed securities were sold to investors on the premise that the securities were safe under most market conditions. "It seems to me that we had blinders on and never questioned the information we were given," an unidentified Moody's employee wrote as part of a survey after a September 2007 town-hall meeting. "Combined, these errors make us look either incompetent at credit analysis, or like we sold our soul to the devil for revenue, or a little bit of both."
A separate email forwarded by Brian Clarkson, former president of Moody's Investors Service, showed that the firm competed fiercely to outdo its rivals. Mr. Clarkson's aggressive push to win business was the subject of a page-one article in The Wall Street Journal in April.
At S&P, one employee wrote in an instant-message exchange: "btw-that deal is ridiculous." A colleague replied: "it could be structured by cows and we would rate it."
Deven Sharma, president of S&P, said the language was "inappropriate" but showed that the firm encourages analysts to raise concerns. The Securities and Exchange Commission examined the exchange and found no misconduct, he added.
With stock and credit markets around the world still reeling from losses that began with downgrades by the ratings agencies last summer, Wednesday's revelations are likely to fuel efforts to rein in the industry and improve its reliability. The SEC will consider new rules as soon as next month.
Moody's, McGraw-Hill Cos.' S&P unit, and the Fitch Ratings unit of Fimalac SA still have immense influence as arbiters of financial strength, especially in the world of corporate bonds.

The juice of rotten Chinese apples isn't something that most American parents would serve to their children. But if a recent report from the Chinese press is accurate, they may very well have been doing so for years without anyone — including U.S. government inspectors — knowing it.

Ingrid, Manuel to Cause Life-Threatening Floods in Mexico
Tropical storms Ingrid and Manuel will cause heavy rains and life-threatening floods in eastern and southern Mexico. Ingrid may become a hurricane later today.
"This will remain a significant hazard over the next couple of days," the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said in a statement. "The moist flow resulting from the combination of Manuel and tropical storm Ingrid in the bay of Campeche will produce torrential rains and life-threatening flooding over eastern Mexico."
The Mexican government issued a hurricane watch for Ingrid's path on the Gulf coast and the U.S. hurricane center said it is expected to become a hurricane later today before approaching the coast on Sept. 16.
Tropical Storm Manuel gained strength today in the Pacific. The storm is creating "torrential rains" with as much as 15 inches (38 centimeters) expected over the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, the hurricane center said in its latest advisory. Ingrid may produce as much as 15 inches of rain over eastern Mexico, with isolated areas in the mountains receiving as much as 25 inches, the center said.
Ingrid, the ninth tropical storm of the Atlantic season that runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, is currently drifting west across the Bay of Campeche where Petroleos Mexicanos, Mexico's state-owned oil company known as Pemex, has its two largest oil fields. They produce about 1.25 million barrels a day.
Pemex suspended air and sea operations at its rigs in the bay, according to a company statement. The oil port of Dos Bocas closed on Sept. 12 because of adverse weather conditions, while the Cayo Arcas port, which processes about 68 percent of Mexico's crude exports, re-opened today, the country's Merchant Marine said in its daily weather bulletin.
Storm Positions
Ingrid was 145 miles (233 kilometers) northeast of Veracruz and moving north at 8 mph as of 10 a.m. Mexico City time today, according to the center in Miami. Storm tracking aircraft found Ingrid growing stronger, with maximum sustained winds of 70 miles per hour, up from 65 mph a few hours earlier. The storm will begin drifting northward today and pick up speed moving toward the northwest tomorrow, the center said.
The slow motion of the storm may allow it to strengthen because it is over warm water, from which tropical systems can draw power, said Dan Kottlowski, a meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania.
"This thing could ramp up to a very strong tropical storm and it may become a Category 1 hurricane," Kottlowski said.
Pacific Season
Manuel became the 13th storm of the Pacific season, which begins on May 15. It was about 125 miles south of Lazaro Cardenas with top winds of 50 mph and is expected to gain strength through the weekend. The storm was stationary and is expected to turn northwestward today and approach the coast of southwestern Mexico by early tomorrow. Manuel is expected to make landfall tomorrow, the center said.
On the Atlantic coast, a hurricane watch is in effect from La Pesca to north of Cabo Rojo and a tropical storm warning is in place farther south to Coatzacoalcos, according to the center. A tropical storm warning remained in effect as Manuel approached the Pacific coast, from Punta San Telmo to Acapulco.
On its current track, Ingrid won't be a threat to U.S. production areas in the Gulf of Mexico, said Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland.
The Gulf is home to about 5.6 percent of U.S. gas output, 23 percent of crude production and more than 45 percent of petroleum refining capacity, Energy Department data show.
Rogers said clouds and rain from Ingrid may cross into Texas next week, bringing cooler temperatures that will dull electricity demand across the state.
'Mammoth Rainfall'
The main impact of the two storms will be "mammoth rainfall amounts" across southern Mexico, said Michael Schlacter, founder of Weather 2000 Inc. in New York.
"The worst thing for heavy rain are hills, mountains and mud," Schlacter said by telephone. "The consequences for humanitarian purposes are just that more horrific."
Schlacter said it's possible heavy rain will fall across southern Mexico for the next five days.
The hurricane center was also tracking Humberto, now a post-tropical cyclone, which was about 980 miles northwest of the Cape Verde Islands with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. It was heading west-northwest at 13 mph and isn't a threat to land.
Tropical Depression Gabrielle was absorbed by a cold front today. Its remnants were bringing heavy rain to Canada's Atlantic coast.

The health benefits of beans are numerous: they are an excellent source of protein and fiber, are high in folic acid, and are a low-glycemic-index food. Buts some beans - both the varieties and the way they are cooked - are actually healthier than others. When choosing beans, consider the following:
I recommend one to two servings of beans and legumes per day - easy to do if you swap out meat for beans in salads and sandwiches, and make hummus or bean dip part of an afternoon snack.

Are you are still running analog cameras and have and issues with a bit of chroma loss then you may have an issue. If you are re-utilizing an older system in a new install this is the only way to go so you can be ready for IP if the site needs it later on. Also, 4 dB loss is only on the higher end, thus there is a bit of chroma loss, luminance is carried nearly perfectly. Get over your self and just crank up the chroma on your 20 year old tube monitor if this item is that bad. Analog video should be measured with a Vector Scope and WFM, not an oscilloscope. Have fun taking a Polaroid of your monitor to give to the cops if you think you need to run coax instead of using this balun.

Use these regularly, never had a problem, not even once. Installations vary from 50' or so, to 500', picture always looks fine. Even used a pair to carry power well over 400', with no issues whatsoever. MCM's price is great too, among the lowest anywhere. Highly recommended.
by Starfire06
on 4/5/2011
Even though rated for 1000' at less than 200' the resulting picture was unacceptable. When Tested on an oscilloscope I found a 60% insertion loss using 2ft of Cat5 cable and at 200ft the signal was less than 10% of the original. Most video baluns claim a 2db insertion loss per pair, these are closer to 4db per pair plus cable length. Even using an Active Balun on either side didn't help these.

I'm new to LaTeX and I must say that I am really struggling with it. I discovered the \newcommand command that is kind of like a function/method in regular programming languages. You can give it arguments and everything.
I was wondering though, can I somehow iterate in LaTeX? Basically, what I would like to do is create a table with N+1 columns where the first row just contains a blank cell and then the numbers 1, 2, ..., N in the other columns. I only want to give N as an argument to this 'function' (newcommand).
Here is an example of something that might look like what I'm looking for (although obviously this won't work):
\newcommand{\mytable}[2]{ \begin{tabular}{l|*{#1}{c|}} % table with first argument+1 columns for(int i = 1; i <= #1; i++) "& i" % 'output' numbers in different columns \\\hline letters & #2 % second argument should contain actual content for row \\\hline \end{tabular} }
Call it with:
\mytable{3}{a & b & c}
Output should be:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | --------+---+---+---+ letters | a | b | c | --------+---+---+---+
Does anyone know if something like this is possible?

Essie Forbes, 96, of Canyon died Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008.
Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the First Baptist Church in Canyon with Dr. David Lowrie Jr. officiating. Graveside services will be at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at Westlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Borger.
Arrangements are by Brooks Funeral Directors.
What an incredibly wonderful life God gave to Essie Forbes. She was born the youngest of 10 children on Feb. 27, 1911, to George and Annie Laura Loyd in McLean. After graduating from high school in Clovis, N.M., she married Walter Gerald Forbes in July 1931. The couple moved to Borger in October 1933. After raising her two children, Essie worked as financial secretary at First Baptist Church in Borger for 17 years. She moved to Canyon in 1970 where she served First Baptist Church as a church secretary for several years.
Essie enjoyed many passions in her life. Her first love was for her Lord. She accepted Christ as her Savior during her youth at an evangelistic meeting. She and Walter were very happy in serving Him through their church. Essie relished the fellowship her Sunday School classes and Women's Missionary Union groups afforded. Her second love was for her husband and family. She was an adoring wife who shared Walter's enjoyment of family gatherings at home and on fishing excursions on the pontoon boat at Lake Meredith. She was a wonderful mother and a patient and loving Meme to her six grandchildren. Her third passion was for creating things of beauty. Her art talent produced beautiful landscapes and ceramics.
She was preceded in death by her husband in 1968; and a son-in-law, Phillip Langen in 2003.
Survivors include a daughter, Jerrie Langen of Canyon; a son, Clinton Forbes and wife Barbara of Ruidoso, N.M.; six grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; and seven great-great-grandchildren.
The family suggests memorials be to the First Baptist Church Library or the Quilting Ministry at the First Baptist Church, 1717 4th Ave., Canyon, TX 79015.

The Peugeot 308 is now available with a new three-cylinder engine, available on new models from April. The new 130bhp PureTech e-THP 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine can return a claimed 61.4mpg, with CO2 emissions of 107g/km.
• Peugeot Hybrid Air to make production
While testing the new engine Peugeot managed to achieve 99.1mpg while covering a distance of 1124.7 miles on a single tank. The figures mean the 308, which was voted as European Car of the Year 2014, set a new record for economy on a single tank of fuel.
A compact engine design and the latest tech such as high-pressure direct injectors and a new generation high performance turbo, means the 308 powered by the 1.2-litre motor is the most economical petrol car in its class.
• Hybrid Air tech on the way for the Peugeot 2008
The addition to the engine range means the hatchback is now available with a choice of five petrol engines, with power ranging from 82bhp to 156bhp. Five diesel motors ranging from 92bhp to 150bhp are also available. The new PureTech turbo petrol engine will make its way to the 208 hatchback and the 2008 crossover in the form of the e-THP 110, too.

Plan to develop Vt. ski area being reconsideredApril 20,2013DUMMERSTON A plan to revive a Vermont ski area is back in play.
The Maple Valley Ski Area in Dummerston closed in 2001. A developer interested in bringing it back as a year-round recreational resort withdrew a proposal in 2011 after the town review board asked for more specifics and wanted residents concerns addressed.
Now, the review board has scheduled a hearing on April 23 for an application by the developer, Stamford-Conn.,-based MVS Associates.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that in addition to skiing, snowboarding and other winter events, the application describes mountain biking, hiking, maple syrup production, soapbox racing, camping, and other activities.MORE IN This Just In

This hotel is really nice without the extravagance that comes with larger and overpriced big brand hotels. The staff here really aims to please. They will go out of their way to help make sure you have a great experience. Rooms are comfortable and the bar and restaurant are pretty good.
While my taxi from the airport found the Caravan Hotel no problem, other taxi drivers in town had no clue. Even though a had a card from the hotel with their address, multiple taxi drivers failed to locate the hotel. Also, the listed phone number for the hotel wasn't functioning so I was able to reach them to get directions. I would suggest that they print a small map on the back of their business cards!
The services was great.
The hotel needs some updating.
Clean,quite & very helpful!!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Dec 02nd, 2009
Running Time: 87 Min.
Director: Stormy Daniels
Company: Wicked Pictures
DVD Extras: Bonus Scenes, Dolby Digital, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Cast: Scott Nails, Hillary Scott, Evan Stone, Eva Angelina, Stormy Daniels, Lee Stone, Sophia (I), Mark Wood, Tyla Wynn, Manuel Ferrara, Daryn Darby, Mr. Pete
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
There are certain things in life that are meant to be sacred. But not when Stormy is behind the camera. Cheating wives, boys from the wrong side of the tracks, teachers pets ... combined with intense passion, anal, d.p., three-ways; suddenly Forbidden isn't such a bad thing...
Stormy Daniels plays a dual role—as director and performer—and the idea is that things forbidden just might not be that bad after all. To set the pace, Stormy portrays a schoolteacher who seduces the janitor (Manuel Ferrara), and their blackboard romp in the classroom culminates with a rough titty-fuck and messy facial finish. The school theme continues as Daryn Darby, impetuous cheerleader, seduces bespectacled water boy nerd Scott Nails.
The best one has spoiled rich bitch Hillary Scott and Sophia portraying a fantasy envisioned by grease monkey Lee Stone where his waiting room turns into a girl/girl feast that evolves into a threesome with some torrid anal courtesy of Hillary. And Tyla Wynn even sneaks in a d.p. Overall, good stuff from all involved.

Packers' Dietrich-Smith so over Suh
Seven months after scuffle with Lions defensive tackle, Packers lineman shines as both guard, center
Green Bay - Versatility, reliability, work ethic, commitment, resilience - these are the things for which up-and-coming lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith would like to be known.
And not for being the recipient of Ndamukong Suh's rage.
The third-year Green Bay Packers lineman understands that's how many will remember him until he can get more playing time and change that perception, and he's doing everything he can to line up that change.
But who could forget when Dietrich-Smith was called into action Thanksgiving Day because right guard Josh Sitton had suffered an injured knee? Dietrich-Smith was playing well enough when Detroit's rushing Suh came charging. Dietrich-Smith refused to disengage from the block, quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw his pass and Suh and Dietrich-Smith tumbled to the turf.
With the play over, Suh lost control, first pushing Dietrich-Smith's head down to the turf multiple times and then stomping on him as he got up.
The Lions defensive tackle was ejected and suspended without pay for two games, costing him $164,000 in lost wages. And the Packers lineman isn't crazy about any portrayal of him being a victim in the incident.
"I'm not here to be that guy Suh stomped on," he said. "It just happened to be on national TV, but I can't really do anything about that. I don't want to be that guy. I'm out to prove I'm not just that guy; I'm the guy that plays for the Packers."
Seven months later on the Ray Nitschke practice fields, Dietrich-Smith is emerging as someone else: a backup center to a 37-year old veteran who can fill in at guard as well.
The need is there. The Packers picked up free-agent center Jeff Saturday after losing Scott Wells to St. Louis. Saturday has 13 years of experience, including 197 regular-season games. There's no reason to say he won't be able to play a full season in 2012, but no guarantees, either.
And then there's guard, where Dietrich-Smith has also played, even as recently as the June minicamp on the left side for T.J. Lang. He fits in well, going along with right guard Josh Sitton's idea to change the names on their jerseys. Dietrich-Smith went with "Friday" and Sitton went with "Sunday" so that they read Friday, Saturday and Sunday from left to right on the line.
"I see myself as the interior swing guy," Dietrich-Smith said. "I need to know as much as I can with the three inside spots because at any time, I could be playing anywhere."
Coach Mike McCarthy isn't hesitant to move players around. He did it with former linemen Daryn Colledge and Jason Spitz and others, and offensive line coach James Campen has continued the training.
"He might prefer me to play center over other spots," said Dietrich-Smith. "But for me it helps, when I am playing center, to know what the guards are doing. Or when you're playing guard, knowing when the center needs help.
"It happens, but it's nothing new to me."
He started at left guard for two seasons at Idaho State, and when the right tackle broke his ankle, Dietrich-Smith moved there. Then he was a blocking tight end in certain packages. He moved back to left guard. When the left tackle was shy in credits, he played there.
Dietrich-Smith's career has been a journey, as well. Picked up as an undrafted free agent in May 2009, he played in 13 games that season on special teams. He was waived by the Packers in the final roster cut in 2010. After a brief stint with Seattle, he was picked up again by Green Bay on New Year's Eve.
The 2011 season was Dietrich-Smith's most productive. He got his first start the next game after Detroit in Week 13 at the New York Giants, a real eye opener.
"I know we got the win; I wasn't too happy with how I played," said Dietrich-Smith. "But it showed me the level of competition that I've got to raise myself to. You're going in to your first start playing against guys like Justin Tuck, Chris Canty, Jason Pierre-Paul, Osi Umenyiora. They're the leading sack line in the league that year.
"Mental-wise I was good, but getting the experience with the first group and the speed of the game, that's what it showed me."
He played at right guard again against the Raiders, went back to special teams against Kansas City and then made his first start at left guard against the Bears. He said the game began to slow down for him.
"I remember that Bears game when we posted a shutout in sacks," Dietrich-Smith said.
He plans on keeping his weight at 310 - weighty enough for a guard, OK for a center - and will remain in Green Bay until training camp breaks July 26, just as he remained here for the entire offseason.
"You have one of the best facilities available to you. Why rack up some big expense to go train somewhere else when you have everything already here?" he said.
"On top of that, the coaches know you're here, they know you're doing stuff. They're not going to look at you coming in to camp: 'That guy is way out of shape.' "

WARNING: This article may contain spoilers regarding the events and outcomes of the Dishonored story. Forge ahead at your own peril, dear readers!
Dishonored was one of the RPGs I was really interested in this year. The stealth action, alternate reality fueled by whale oil, and fusion of magic and gadgetry were all things in the "plus" column for me. I played through the game fairly quickly, taking what I figure is the typical approach most people took when they played through their first time:
First two stages – "Sneak, sneak, sneak past all the guardsmen… OH THEY SAW ME AAAAAH…" followed by repeated hacking and slashing.
Everything else – Dark Vision + Blink + Sleep Darts = Cruising to a Low Chaos ending
I was under no compulsion to get the "Clean Hands" achievement by avoiding killing anyone, but I did take the time to remove all my targets with their nonlethal methods. Some are definitely questionable, like the twins having their tongues cut out and thrown into their own mines, or the Lady Boyle being kidnapped by the infatuated noble and taken away so she will "One day learn to love me…"
My final feelings at the end, though, were ultimately of dissatisfaction with the game's disjointed storytelling. Not the story itself, nor the world it was set in… just the way it was presented in the game.
There's an awful lot going on behind the scenes in Dunwall, and a lot of rich lore baked into the Dishonored world. Instead of experiencing it, though, the player typically comes across it by reading the many books and journals scattered about. On the one hand, it means those who want more lore (like me) will go out of their way to look for it, but on the other it breaks a fundamental rule:
"Show, don't tell."
Dishonored's debut trailer, which was posted way back in April, did a better job of presenting the world and Corvo's place in it than most of the resulting video game did. It showed a conversation between Corvo and the Outsider while Corvo was in jail, presenting the Outsider in a very creepy, "deal with the Devil" way, which fit the setting and situation perfectly. Instead of getting that in the game, though, Corvo bumps into the Outsider during a dream and he simply becomes a vehicle for using magic in the game. It's a much less satisfying use and explanation of an otherwise major part of the story.
The Whaler assassins and their leader, Daud, were also one area I just wasn't clear on during my playthrough. I found his journals and other books, which seemed to indicate the assassins got their distinctive garb from the whaling workers who used to occupy the Flooded District, and found out Daud also possessed supernatural abilities granted by the Outsider that he could somewhat grant to his followers. If you choose to fight him directly, it was one of the many interesting lore twists that emerge. Since I went the stealth route and stole his pouch and key, however, I wouldn't have known about his connection to the Outsider, except for the fact that he caught me and I ended up fighting him before loading an old save.
The transitions between levels also give you a primer on the story with a small paragraph of text explaining what you're there to do. The debut trailer, by comparison, does a much better job presenting the harsh, authoritarian world of Dunwall and the players in it, setting the scene more aptly than any intro text could. Looking back, it really feels like there should have been a short cutscene leading into each chapter that didn't make it into the game in time, and instead developer Arkane Studios was forced to add in the text to compensate.
One thing I liked, though, was the Heart the Outsider gives to Corvos that allows him to hear secrets about people and places in the game. If I did a second playthrough, it would be to use the Heart on everything I could think of, including all the assassination targets. Each use reveals another small secret, or part of a larger one, until the Heart begins repeating its lines again. Since it takes the place of a gadget or magic power, though, it can often be forgotten in the rush to get to your objective and complete the mission, and it doesn't solve some of the larger storytelling issues I had with the game. When I discovered whose heart it actually was (never confirmed, but reinforced by the fact that the same actress does both of their voices), it was easily one of my favorite story moments in the entire game.
There is also some good storytelling being done outside the game, though, in a three-part webisode called "The Tales From Dunwall." Beautifully drawn and animated, these stories do a far better job filling in some of the gaps about the world and motivations of the people in it than much of the game. Piero's story about the crafting of Corvo's mask is especially interesting, and I highly recommend watching them if you've finished the game.
I think I should be very clear on this: I liked the story of Dishonored, I really did, I just think it wasn't told as well inside the game as it could have been. If the same effort had been applied to the game itself game as are exhibited in the out-of-the-game tie ins, I think Bethesda and Arkane could have taken Dishonored beyond the very good stealth action game it turned out to be.
This originally was posted over at my Tumblr, The Gentleman Gamer, so be sure to follow me there for more writing goodness!

The odd thing about the word is that its only currency, at least in its non-technical sense, is among those who should most abhor it, the people of sufficient education to realize its bad formation; it is at once a monstrosity in its form & a pedantry in its use. [Fowler]
Errata -- Page 263, line 9 from bottom, for 'orthodoxy' read orthopraxy. This is a new coin from the mint of Dr. [Andrew] Wylie [of Bloomington College, Indiana], at least I have not before noticed it. Its etymology places it in a just contrast with orthodoxy: for if that consecrated word indicates thinking right, orthopraxy will legitimately import doing right, and hence, as Mr. Wylie says, orthopraxy in the last dread day will pass the divine ordeal incomparably better than orthodoxy. O! that a zeal for orthopraxy would transcend the zeal for orthodoxy! ["The Millennial Harbinger," vol. IV, no. VIII, Bethany, Va., August 1840]
It is as if George Orwell had conceived the nightmare instead of analyzed it, helped to create it instead of helping to dispel its euphemistic thrall. [Clive James]

My database is about 1gb in size (according to the mdf file of my db). My database server has 4gb of ram. Looking at the memory consumption on the computer while active, it sits at around 85% used (including OS, etc)
Does this mean that all DB read activity works in memory alone (i.e. the whole db is sitting in memory)? or is there still a case where it would have to go to disk?

Can You Afford to Hire a New Field Employee?
Originally published: 11.01.12 by Ruth King
Using this formula and asking questions about new business and overtime costs will provide an answer.
Your company is growing. You feel the need to hire another field employee. I define a field employee as one who generates revenues for your company. Can you afford to hire this person? Find out by using the mathematical calculation described below.
Here's the calculation:
1. Determine the hourly wage that you will pay the field employee.
2. Convert the hourly salary into a total annual wage.
3. Add benefits (FICA, Medicare, etc.).
4. Add truck costs if the field employee will be driving a truck.
5. Determine the gross margin (GM) of the department that the field employee works in.
6. Enter the date into the formula:
Sales required = Total Cost
For example: You want to hire another service technician:
1. His hourly wage will be $20 per hour.
2. This is $41,600 per year (assuming no overtime).
3. Assume his benefits are 30% of his salary, equaling $12,480.
4. His truck costs $20,800 per year to operate (assume $10 per hour).
5. Gross margin of the service department is 53%.
$74,880 = $74,880 = $159,319.15
1-.53 .47
This technician must generate a minimum of $159,319. Can he do it?
Here are the questions to ask to make a decision:
1. Is there enough work that the company can't get to within a reasonable period of time to cover this amount of revenue?
2. Are the other technicians generating enough billable overtime each week that would stop with the addition of this service technician?
3. Can you do enough marketing, i.e., make the telephone ring with customer needs, so that the technician can generate $159,319? Or, will there be periods of time that he is laid off?
Look at the overtime issue carefully. Assume that the technicians, as a group, are averaging 40 billable overtime hours per week. Then, without a doubt, the additional technician would cut your overtime costs to almost zero. You would generate billable hours at regular rates, thus increasing the department's bottom line.
But, what if the technicians, as a group, are averaging 20 hours of billable overtime hours per week? Then you need to look at your average service revenue per hour to determine if hiring this technician makes sense.
Assume that your average service revenue per hour is $200 per hour. At 20 billable overtime hours per week, that is $4,000 per week in revenue at overtime rates. It is $208,000 in yearly revenues. With $159,319.15 in revenues needed, you can still hire this service technician under the assumptions described above.
If you think that he can't generate the revenues, or there are not enough billable overtime hours, or you think that you cannot do enough marketing, then it is best to wait until business picks up enough so that he can be productive for you.
Here's the calculation if you're thinking about hiring a new office employee.

This is a good chapter. It starts on p. 179.
Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations is a good book, according to the Founders, that discusses the connection between free enterprise and natural law. Here are the main ideas:
1) specialized production---let each person or corporation do what it does best.
2) Exchange of goods takes place in a free-market environment without government interference in production, prices, or wages. (We see Obama and Congressional Democrats wanting to meddle with CEO pay.)
3. The free market provides the needs of the people on the basis of supply and demand, with no government-imposed monopolies.
4. Prices are regulated by competition on the basis of supply and demand.
5. Profits are looked upon as the means by which production of goods and services is made worthwhile.
6. Competition is looked upon as themeans by which quality is improved, quantity is increased, and prices are reduced.
(This list is from page 180.)
I like how this book boils the free-market idea down to four laws of economic freedom: freedom to try, freedom to buy, freedom to sell, freedom to fail
Again, we see the last of these being distorted as Obama, Geithner, and their team choose winners and losers. You can't be free from failure in a truly free society.

Mac Danzig's Ultimate Fighter Blog (Episode 9)
Mac Danzig is one of 16 welterweight fighters competing for a UFC contract on the sixth season of Spike TV's reality series "The Ultimate Fighter."
Danzig has fought at 155 pounds for most of his career, capturing titles in King of the Cage, Gladiator Challenge and the IFC. He is stepping up to 170 pounds for the opportunity to fight in the TUF 6 competition and make it to the big show, the UFC.
UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra and former two-time UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes will be the coaches this season.
OCRegister.com readers will get to follow Danzig along for the ride as he trains, lives and fights with the other TUF 6 contestants. Danzig will have a weekly blog on ocregister.com. He will give his opinions, observations and a behind-the-scenes look at everything that's going on with the fighters in the TUF 6 house.
TUF 6 airs on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on Spike TV, and Danzig's blog will post immediately following each episode.
Well, now we see that nothing goes in one person's (or one team's) favor for too long with this show. The pendulum swings both ways, and Team Serra's gift for winning six out of the eight prelims was that they would now have to fight each other in at least two matchups. That's the way it goes on this show and when it's all said and done, it's really only about one fighter. Like Dana said; "only one guy gets the contract."
Thankfully, Tommy and I didn't get matched up. That would have been a real let down for us and I distinctly remember Hughes saying sternly to the team that he "wouldn't let that happen."
On a side note, I love the little facial shots of Hughes and Serra's reactions to the picks. On either side, you have Robbie Lawler and Drago. Both of them stone cold. I really liked both those guys. I didn't get to hang out with Drago too much at all, but Robbie Lawler is one cool kid. He was really one of those guys that you actually looked forward to seeing every day. He has a good heart and it's easy to make him laugh. I wish they would have shown more of him this season, but he was pretty quiet for the most part. Another priceless facial shot is Richie's reaction to getting matched up with George. That's the kind of smile you give when a judge sentences you to ninety hours of community service while your lawyer is elbowing you to keep a happy demeanor.
I notice that a recurring theme in John Kolosci's interviews and a little bit in Serra's as well (if I'm not mistaken) is the idea that I like to "go to my back" or that I'm "comfortable falling to guard." I really have no idea where these guys came up with that notion. Just because I submitted Joey Scarola from my guard doesn't mean I wanted to be there. I simply take what I can in a fight.
I have a couple decision losses on my record from years ago and the main reason for those losses was takedowns. I learned from that and I am the biggest advocate of staying standing and/or getting top position. It's way too hard to win a fight off your back these days and although I never wrestled in school, my first real pro training camp in 2002 was RAW with Frank Trigg and Iowa standout & World Cup freestyle wrestling champion Rico Chiapperelli as my coaches. I developed a decent takedown defense if nothing else during my time with those guys. I can't remember when the last time I pulled guard in a fight was ... maybe never.
The sparring situation ... I really have no idea why there was so little sparring in our training. It was mostly hitting the bag, grappling and conditioning circuits. A good friend of mine from Season 5 told me that his team only sparred once during the entire six week period. I'm sorry, but that's just absurd. In my opinion, sparring is at the top of the list when it comes to fight preparation, but any time I would ask about it, the coaches usually skirted the question. I, of course, didn't pry because anything you complain about will get turned into a huge issue (as we've all seen many times).
About the whole ''note on the wall'' thing: Yes, I did feel like I was negative, and I did feel like I was going to be portrayed as some grumpy miser on the show and yes, I felt a need to be more positive. I said all those things. But the whole ''writing on the wall'' thing was really poking fun at a guy on one of the past seasons, who, in a vain attempt to get more TV time, wrote a bunch of cheesy motivational quotes on the wall that were laughable at best. I was basically making fun of that, but the edge of the story was never told. If there are two things I can always do, they are: make weight, and change my attitude without writing it on the wall to remind myself. That was a joke, more less.
One thing that I wasn't happy about was how much they jumped around with the time sequence. I try not to harp on this too much, but by the time I fought John Kolosci, Blake and I were already seeing eye to eye again and I was no longer being so disrespectful to him. On this episode, they use some things that were said about Blake (rather condescendingly) by me, that I said right after the few days we were feuding a few weeks earlier. I'm not sure why I feel the need to mention this, but I think I'd like everyone to know that I wasn't so patronizing to him all the time.
The "coin toss" episode was pretty funny in real life. They edited it down to about one minute, but in all actuality it took about 20 minutes for them to do the entire thing. It was the most unorganized, dysfunctional attempt at achieving a choice that I have ever seen. Our team just sat there as Serra and Dana argued about what exactly would happen when the coin was tossed, and whether the guys would be sent to Hughes' team if they called it correctly or incorrectly. I remember Ray Longo trying to get them to stop and explain it all again multiple times, while War Machine would chime in sporadically with stuttering gibberish that nobody seemed to listen to. At least 10 times, Drago yelled in his powerful Long Island accent "C'mon! Just DO it!" and Dana had to stop a few times because all the bickering had gotten him confused as to how the whole thing would actually work. And you all thought flipping a coin was easy.
I think I understand the initial idea behind why Richie wanted to talk with Hughes behind closed doors, but come on, how can you take a guy seriously that wears his hat like that, and says the word "awkward" twenty times in every sentence? Hughes wasn't into it, and I laughed again when I saw Robbie's facial expression.
The fight with John went well for me. I was in a good mindset from the beginning and I went into work mode. The first knee I hit him with really did alot of damage and everything he tried played into my game. I have a way of wearing people out who try and take me down against the fence and this was a prime example of that. I was simply punching when I saw an opening at first, but thanks to some great coaching by Lawler, Fiore and Hughes, I remembered my elbows and let them loose. To his credit, John hung in there and tried his best, but I could feel him breaking with every failed takedown attempt. I have a lot of respect for John and I was simply the better man that day. I think with the right training, John will be a force among up and coming welterweights.
Team Serra may have had great coaches and a bunch of wins, but they had a few imbeciles on their team too. You think I was grumpy? Just imagine if I had to be around a guy who has two anarchy tattoos, but can't explain what it means or even spell it correctly.
My corny speech at the end was kind of embarrassing to watch, but I felt it was necessary at the time and I'm glad I said it. Our team had been through so much with all the losses and the negativity, and I was just letting everyone know that I appreciated all the help they gave me in helping prepare, and was happy to be with some solid guys, regardless of the losses.

Marvel's Avengers panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego found "Uncanny Avengers" and "All New Captain America" writer Rick Remender, "Original Sin" and "Thor" scribe Jason Aaron, "Punisher," "Black Widow," and "Dethlok" writer Nathan Edmondson, Nick Spencer, Senior Editor Nick Lowe, and Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso assembling to discuss the upcoming changes in the team's line up as part of Avengers NOW.
Nick Lowe began by highlighting the Sara Pichelli promo image featuring Superior Iron Man, female Thor, Sam Wilson Captain America, and more.
The "Captain America" #25 image showed the silhouette of the new Captain America, which Remender jokingly treated as if it were still a secret. "It's Aunt May," Lowe said. "Instead of a shield, she's got a giant wheatcake,"
More directly, Remender said that the upcoming arc will "reveal what Red Skull and Zola have been up to," and what it will cost to stop them.
Nick Spencer then joined the others on stage, with Alonso joking that he was "arriving late, like on of his scripts."
Returning to the topic at hand, Remender said that after the "Dimension Z" arc, Steve Rogers is "sidelined in a way he hasn't been before," and the Falcon will "earn the mantle in #25."
Lowe announced "Captain America and the Mighty Avengers" by Al Ewing and Luke Ross, debuting in November.
In October, "Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier" debuts from Ales Kot and Marco Rudy.
Spencer then spoke about "Avengers World." "We've been exploring the Avengers' role throughout the world," he said. "In this arc, starting with #10-11, is where everything comes to a head, where all the disparate challenges converge. Euro Force led by the Black Knight and a Chinese team called the Ascendent will feature heavily.
Edmondson's "Dethlok" also debuts in October. "Just like with 'Black Widow,' we realized the time couldn't be more right to bring Dethlok back into the spotlight," the writer said. "He's a leading black ops operative, without being aware that he's any of these things." He will watch his actions "later, sitting at home in his kitchen, without realizing he was right in the center of the action."
Dethlok is artist Mike Perkins' favorite character, Alonso said. "I think he would have kneecapped me" if he didn't get the series, the editor said.
Next came the new "Thor," whom Aaron joked was "also Aunt May -- we should probably coordinate these things better." He said that he's been building up in "God of Thunder" to "the point when Thor was no longer worthy of the hammer." The new wielder will last "not just for a few issues," and Aaron noted that very few women have lifted Mjolnir, despite the fact that "many of his supporting characters are female."
"This new character is someone from Thor's world, but we don't know who it is initially -- nobody does," Aaron added.
Aaron spoke about artist Russell Dauterman, whose style he described as more "poppy" than what's been seen from Esad Ribic in "God of Thunder." Lowe added that Dauterman came to Marvel's attention during a convention portfolio review.
In November, Kieron Gillen and Marguerite Bennet write and Phil Jimenez and Stephanie Hans illustrate "Angela: Asgard's Assassin," a new ongoing series.
"It gives her a part where she's clearly a part of the Marvel Universe," Aaron said, while the series "gives her a chance to tell her own story."
Asked whether the "Angela" series means she is not the female Thor, Aaron said, "She can have two books, right?"
"Superior Iron Man" by Tom Taylor and Yildiray Cinar launches in November, which sees "Tony Stark -- and it is Tony Stark, it's not somebody else in his head -- surrendering to his id and he becomes 'Superior.'" Uploading Extremis to the populace creates new superhumans, but not everyone uses their abilities to noble effect.
Lowe then opened the floor to questions.
Asked whether the Superior Iron Man's move to San Francisco means he'll crossover with Daredevil, Alonso said, "I'd say it's very likely they'll run into each other, yes."
A fan asked for clarification about a slide identifying Thor Odinson as "Unworthy Thor," asking whether he'll have his own title. "He'll still be appearing in 'Thor,'" Aaron said, but the focus will be off him for the duration.
On "Superior Iron Man," Alonso said that Remender "set up the inciting incident to allow Tony to become this way," and he reached out to Tom Taylor based on that writer's work on DC's "Earth 2" to run with the story.
Alonso said that a story coming up "will be spitting out new villains, and recalibrating old villains."
Asked about good entry points, Alonso recommended any of the recent All New Marvel Now series, specifically citing "Captain America," "Black Widow," and "Ms. Marvel," while Lowe added "Punisher," "Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man," and more.
"If you want to pick one, pick one, and read that to start," Alonso said. He added that, even for events, he looks for ways to make the story accessible to new readers.
Like with Thor Odinson in "Thor," Steve Rogers will still appear in "All New Captain America," "but the focus has to be on Sam."
Asked about coordination between writers, Remender said that female Thor will not appear in "AXIS" because of "a huge moment between Thor Odinson and Odin," so he and Aaron worked out the timeline and other details.
As to whether Steve Rogers would become Nomad, Remender said, "there is a new Nomad coming up who is related to Steve Rogers, but Steve is no longer physically able to do the fisticuffs" since his real age has caught up to him without the super soldier serum.
Alonso then joked to the young fan, "So if you've ever fantasized about your all-time favorite character being a frail old man, now's your time."
A fan suggest an ongoing for Sif rather than setting up a new female Thor. "I did get a few tweets about that in the last week," Aaron said, also incorporating the question of "Why not just create a new female character?" "If you want a Sif ongoing, I'm all for it. But it's different." He said it's "the difference between telling a story about Robin and a story about Batman. I didn't want to just create a new Robin for Thor."
A fan joked that, since Disney owns Marvel and Thor is now female, if there would be a Disney Princess Thor. "If that happens, I think we can agree that I'm the guy to write it," Aaron said.
"We have firm plans for Doctor Strange," Alonso said when asked about the character. "We have a writer, we more than likely have an artist, and more than likely have a target date. There's a reason Doc Strange has a huge role in 'Original Sin.'"
Asked about music for writing, Remender said it varies by project while Spencer said he makes a playlist for each project and makes them public on Spotify. "I don't listen to anything when I'm writing, I need dead silence," Aaron said. "I don't even like other people to be in the house."
As to whether Hercules might "interact with the female Thor," Aaron said, "I wouldn't be surprised if you saw that." But, he added, "don't expect credit."
Remender said that "interesting stuff is coming up for Loki" in "AXIS."
Asked about the parody image of Stephen Colbert becoming the new Falcon, Remender said, "Oh yeah, that's canon. That's happening."
Lowe added that "Sam's still got most of the costume; a Falcon without wings would be difficult."
A young fan asked whether "DC would fight Marvel in 'Avengers 2.'" Alonso said that "I think it's safe to say that that won't be happening. But I too would like to see Thor and the Hulk fighting Superman."
Aaron said that Thor Odinson "will not be completely depowered without his hammer," as he still has some weather powers.

Lighter Coconut Macaroons
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 15 mins
Entered for safe-keeping. From Heart-Healthy Living by BH&G, Winter 2008.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 1⁄2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 egg white
- 1 dash salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and lemon juice.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg white and salt with electric mixer until it holds soft peaks.
- Fold whipped whites into coconut mixture.
- Using a teaspoon, drop small mounds of mixture, measuring about 1 1/2 inches (3.81 cm) in diameter, about 1 1/4 inches (3.18 cm) apart on the prepared sheet.
- With slightly wet fingertips, pinch the mounds to make them slightly narrower and taller, about 1 inch (2.54 cm) tall with a slightly pinched top.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, rotating the sheet from back to front after 10 minutes.
- (Some coconut shreds on top will be dark brown.) Slide the parchment off the cookie sheet and onto a wire rack.
- After 10 minutes of cooling, remove the macaroons from the parchment with a thin metal spatula, and place them directly on the wire rack to finish cooling.

Really good macaroons! I made them bigger than the recipe stated and got 15 cookies. They have the perfect amount of sweetness; I also drizzled a litle melted chocolate on some for DH and they were good too! Made for 123Hits.
Very tasty macaroons here. Maybe I had thought that they would be bigger and or fluffier, but all in all a very tasting cookie. I did get the full 32 cookies out of my batch, The kids want these made again, so I will oblidge. Made for New Zaar Tag.
