I wore this outfit last week when it was actually cold outside. I was pretty excited to break out my Forever 21 coat and my 'newly thrifted' sweater.
It's too bad, we're expecting a few more days of 80 degree summer weather down the road.
I feel as if the Californian summer to fall transition is dragging on. Even though it is nearly winter, there is a sense of hesitation in the air. The last summer blooms are hanging onto their stems, deciduous trees don't want to drop their colorful leaves just yet, and the slightest morning frost instantly melts into glistening dew drops under the glow of the sun.
That was my failed attempt to be a poetic, misunderstood teenager, sorry.

The Importance Of Family Time
|The Word for today - Monday, April 18, 2016
by Bob and Debby Gass
The Importance Of Family Time
'Here am I and the children … the LORD has given me!' Isaiah 8:18 NKJV
YOU DON'T have to spend huge amounts of money to have meaningful family life. Children love the most simple, repetitive kinds of activities. They want to be read the same stories hundreds of times, and hear the same jokes long after they've heard the punch lines. These interactions with parents are often more fun than expensive toys or special events. Dr James Dobson says: 'A friend of mine once asked his grown children what they remembered most fondly from their childhood. Was it the vacations they took together or trips to Disney world or the zoo?' No, they told him. It was when he would get down on the floor and wrestle with the four of them. They would gang-tackle the "old man" and laugh until their sides hurt. That's the way children think. The most meaningful activities within the families are often those that focus on that which is spontaneous and personal…Busy and exhausted mothers and fathers, especially those who are affluent, sometimes attempt to "pay off" their kids with toys, cars and expensive experiences. It rarely works. What girls and boys want most is time spent with their parents – building things in the garage or singing in the car or hiking to an old fishing pond. No toy, to be played with alone, can ever compete with the enjoyment of such moments. And those moments will be remembered for a lifetime. You say, 'But I'm so busy'. If you're too busy to get involved in the lives of your children, you're too busy! Rearrange your priorities and start making some changes.

So my buddy Grant Cooley talked me into redoing it as a piece that I can submit to Spectrum Art Book. This is the second stage sketch, after choosing from a thumbnail, I am now starting to lay in the final line work. I would love to hear peoples opinions on this.

ST. JAMES, Mo.-
Severe thunderstorms spawned tornadoes, large hail and lightening in parts of Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois on Friday, killing a boater trying to get to shore.
Two tornadoes swept through south-central Missouri Friday afternoon, damaging more than 100 homes and tearing off part of a roof at a middle school moments after a tornado drill. No deaths had been reported.
A firefighter videotaped two twisters moving through St. James, said Phelps County emergency management director Bruce Southard. He estimated the tornadoes were on the ground for 10 minutes.
"It's devastating," he said. "We've got nice houses that are just tore to pieces."
In northwest Arkansas, Deborah Massey, 51, died when her boat was struck by lightening as she and Preston Starritt, 36, both of Prairie Grove, were on Bob Kidd Lake, Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder said. Starritt was injured and treated at a hospital.
Several tornadoes were reported in the region, where power was knocked out, trees broken and at least one home damaged.
"I've seen storms come through, but nothing that's taken down poles like this," Springdale police Sgt. Billy Turnbough said flagpoles bent sideways.
In Missouri, 12-year-old Devin Wilburn said students at St. James Middle School had just completed a tornado drill. Thirty seconds later, they interrupted their science test to rush back into the hallway for the real thing. The children knelt down and put their hands over their heads, he said.
"I just heard a bunch of thunder and ripping, because the top of the roof came off," Devin said.
No teachers, children or staff members were injured.
Preliminary information indicates a tornado warning was issued about 30 minutes before the storm hit, said Gino Izzi, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Springfield.
A tornado also destroyed about half of the Manchester Packaging Co. plant, which makes polyethylene film and bags, according to its Web site. Southard said the twister ripped 70-foot-by-70-foot holes in the main building of a Wal-Mart distribution center and another Wal-Mart building used to service trucks.
Devin's father, Chuck Wilburn, was sleeping when he was awakened by a "roaring wind noise." Wilburn, 42, said he ran to let the dogs in from outside.
"I opened the door and saw the barbecue grill flying across the yard," Wilburn said, whose house lost a window and some siding.
Southard estimated between 100 and 125 homes were damaged. He said most the damage was to roofs but some porches also collapsed.
The storm also ripped down trees, blocking traffic and leaving about half the city of about 6,000 people without power. St. James is 86 miles southwest of St. Louis.
Authorities also reported that two other small tornadoes downed trees and took off shingles in rural parts of southeast Missouri. Tornadoes and hail were also reported in northern Arkansas.
In Illinois, high winds destroyed three mobile homes and a log home in Massac County, and about a dozen homes were damaged in Jackson County, said Patti Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
In the Chicago area, about 15,000 Commonwealth Edison customers were without electricity after a storm downed trees, the utility said.

"just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.""
Matthew 20:28 NIV
A "ransom" was the price paid to release a slave from bondage. Jesus often told his disciples that he must die, but here he told them why—to redeem all people from the bondage of sin and death. The disciples thought that as long as Jesus was alive, he could save them. But Jesus revealed that only his death would save them and the world.
These words come to my mind, Holy, Humble and Pure. The words come to mind when I think of Jesus. Let me quote from our study material, at Bible School, a description of Jesus. He lived an absolute Holy life. He was motivated by Genuine love. His conduct was truly humble. He was Gentle and meek. He lived a life of prayer and was a hard worker. (CLT) Wow, can you and I ever be like that?
I remember from scripture. The disciples ask Jesus, who was the greatest among them. (Luke and Mathew) Jesus was very specific with His answer, "he who serves most."
All our lives we seek to please and seek recognition from people around us. Seek God's attention in all you do rather than people. I was listening to Ken Davis on the radio yesterday. He was talking about the choices we have in life. He referred to teenagers, how they seek recognition of their peers rather than seeking God in the things they do. Just think off all the mistakes teenagers make. Would they and we make a mistake if we follow the principles above? It could be seen as a price, what a small price to pay.
We don't need to die to redeem our sins, Jesus did that for us, all we need to do is believe. No price just faith. So I ask, please believe the rewards are enormous.
"Lord give me a serving nature. Help me in my walk to be like Jesus. Amen."

From medical student to patient: my NHS Change Day post
I stopped medical school in 2010 facing the reality of not being able to get better myself, being ill and later being diagnosed with several long term health conditions.
This post is about my transition from being a medical student, to the other side - being a patient. There are many things I wish I knew about long-term health conditions and patients when I was a medical student. I hope that through this post, current medical students can become aware of some of these things and put them into practice as doctors themselves.
I went to medical school because I wanted to help people and make them better. I admired doctors up on their pedestals for their knowledge and skills and expertise to 'fix things'. The hardest thing for me was accepting that doctors can't always make people better - they couldn't make me better. Holding doctors so highly meant it was very difficult for me to accept their limitations when it came to incurable long-term conditions and then to accept that as a patient I had capacity myself to help my conditions and situation.
Having studied medicine at a very academic university, I had a very strict perception of knowledge. Knowledge was hard and fast medical facts that were taught in a formal setting. I worked all day and night learning the anatomical names for all the muscles in the eye, the cranial nerves and citric acid cycle, not to mention the pharmacology in second year. Being immersed in that academic scientific environment, I correlated expertise with PhDs and papers. It was a real challenge to realise that knowledge doesn't always have to be acquired through a formal education but that it can be acquired through experience. Importantly, knowledge acquired through experience is equally valid! This means the knowledge my clinicians have developed through studying and working is as valid as my knowledge of my conditions, symptoms and triggers, developed through experiencing it day in day out.
I used to feel cross about 'expert patients' - I have spent all these hours in a library learning the biochemistry and pharmacology and 'Joe Bloggs' walks in and knows it all! That wasn't the right attitude, and wasn't fair on patients. As an expert patient myself now, I have come to understood that we are experts through different means, and in different fields. My clinicians remain experts in the biological aspects on disease, but that's not the full picture. I am an expert in the psychological and social impact of my conditions. All aspects need to be taken into account if I am going to have holistic integrated care - the biopsychosocial model in practice - and that's where shared-decision making comes in.
The other concept which is has been shattered since making the transition from medical student to patient is that of routine.
In my first rotation, orthopaedics and rheumatology, I lost track within the first week of how many outpatient appointments I sat in on. I didn't really think anything of them - they are just another 15 minute slot of time filled with learning in a very busy day. As a patient, my perspective couldn't be more different. I have one appointment with my consultant a year, and spend weeks planning and preparing, then a month recovering emotionally. Earlier this year I wrote a whole post just about this - The Anatomy of an Appointment. Appointments are routine for you - they are not for us!
The concept of routine applies to symptoms too. After my first relapse, I had an emergency appointment with my consultant, and presented with very blurred vision and almost total loss of movement in my hands. That very fact I had requested an urgent appointment suggest how worried I was. My consultant's response in the appointment was "there is nothing alarming about your symptoms". I fully appreciate that my symptoms may not have meant I was going to drop dead there and then, and that in comparison to his patients in ICU, I was not as serious. But losing vision and all use of one's hands at the age of 23 (or any age for that matter) is alarming in my books! I guess he was trying to reassure me, but it didn't come across like that!
I have a Chiari malformation (in addition to Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Elhers-Danlos Syndrome) and have been referred to a neurosurgeon to discuss the possibility of neurosurgery. It is stating the obvious to say that for a neurosurgeon, brain surgery is routine - it's their job! For me, the prospect of even being referred to a neurosurgeon was terrifying, before I even got to the stage of discussing the operation. It is not a routine experience at all! At the moment, surgery is not needed (phew!) but the initial experience of this contact with neurosurgeons illustrates the concept of routines and how much our perspectives differ.
As someone with three quite rare and complex conditions, I am invariably met in A&E with comments like "you are so interesting!".
I remember sitting in the hospital cafeteria at lunch as a student and literally feasting on the 'fascinating' cases we had seen on upstairs on the wards that morning. "Oh you must go and see that really interesting patient with X, Y and Z!"
I am so thankful that you all find medicine so interesting - you need that passion and fascination to help you with the ongoing learning and drive to be a doctor. I found it fascinating too!
But I no longer find neurology that interesting - it is too close to home. Nothing is "interesting" if you live with it day in day out. No matter what funky things my autonomic nervous may be doing, there is nothing interesting or fascinating about temporary paralysis, headaches and the day to day grind of my symptoms.
This post was inspired by NHS Change Day (13th March 2013) - as a patient, I wanted to share these few things with medical students, what I wish I knew when I was where you are now, to help the next generation of doctors become the very best doctors they can. I regularly blog about the patient perspective and long-term health conditions, so do subscribe to this blog, or follow me (@anyadei) for more!
I wish you all the very best for the rest of your studies, and thank you very much for reading!

Thank you so much for this post. I wonder if it might also be a good idea to post it over on the Meducation site where it might be read by a lot of medical students (and doctors).
I have some experiences as a patient too which have certainly shaped me as a doctor.
Anne Marie,Delete
Thank you for your comment and the excellent suggestion of posting it on Meducation website.
I think it important to realise that doctors are patients sometimes too!

Thank you for an inspiring blog - as someone who teaches medical students, your words are a very powerful reminder of how patient expertise based on experience IS expertise, and how routine is very different and for drs/patients. As you say, most working as doctors are patients on occasion too - is easy to forget that the roles are more blurred than we may realise at times.
Keep up the great blogs,
Thank you Charlotte!Delete
I am so pleased that you found the blog so relevant to your work. It is always good to hear from others who learn and benefit from my experience - that is why I share!

Ezra, I have one question about cap and trade. After reading Matt Taibbi's latest article about how Goldman has set themselves up to make a huge profit from cap and trade I would like to know who is going to profit from this? And can we somehow set it up so that the American tax payer gets the profit from this and not Goldman Sachs?

i have been very sad to hear that michael jackson passed away.
he was so brilliantly talented and prolific.
today,many of his songs are being played on the radio stations, but for years, his music seemed to be blacklisted, while the media continually made a mockery of his life.
i think in these past years, he didnt receive the acclaim he deserved for his immense talents as a composer, arranger, singer and dancer.
his personal life seemed to overshadow his accomplishments.
it is unfortunate that he didnt live long enough to receive more recognition and appreciation for his musical legacy.
this is a happy, but not too well known song on one of his albums, and i always liked it so well. hope the link works....
i hope he rests in peace. (maybe he wont want to). his life seemed anything but peaceful.
this is a favorite quote from nietzche, and it reminds me of michael jackson....
"to give birth to a dancing star, one must have chaos within."

Nate Silver is wrong. The CBO numbers is the total increase in cost to individuals. the $175 includes gasoline, higher prices of goods, etc.
It is not the increase in energy bills. The increase in energy bills would be only a fraction of the $175.

As soya beans are claimed to possess high nutritive value, I reproduce the following from pamphlet No. 7 published by the Bombay Presidency Baby and Health Week Association to enable the food reformer to make experiments:
"Generally speaking, yellow beans are the richest in protein and fat, especially in the latter; then come green beans, with black beans last. Farmers in any part of the world who take up the cultivation of the soya beans should therefore grow the yellow beans in preference to others.
"The soya bean is one of the most important articles of diet. It contains far more proteins than any grain or pulse seed known so far. It has as much as 40 per cent proteins, i.e. 2 times more than in pulses and beans, 3 times more than in wheat, and 5 times more than in rice.
"Its proteins are of high biological value as they contain all the important Amino-Acids; particularly, Glycine, Trypto-phane and Lycine. In fact, the protein of soya beans is similar to that found in cow's milk and animal foods. It is a boon to vegetarians as its protein resembles animal protein. Soya bean oil contains a large amount of Lecithin and Vitamins A & D and in this respect it resembles butter. Lecithin of soya beans is identical with that of yolk of eggs.
"Soya bean is one of the few seeds containing three Vitamins A, B & D, which are indispensable in a staple food consumed by mankind.
"The mineral salts in soya beans are far more than in many other seeds and they consist mostly of phosphates and calcium. It can therefore be used to great advantage for the cure of nervous diseases.
"Soya beans are on account of their low starchy content (only 24 per cent) very important in the dietary of diabetic patients. Modern researches in diabetic dietary recognize the importance of a carbohydrate equivalent containing starch in small proportion. Soya beans fulfill this condition.
"To prepare soya bean coffee the beans are roasted like coffee beans and ground to a fine powder for use.

About Disney Store Coupon Codes
Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, not to mention Frozen, Cinderella and, of course, Mickey Mouse, Disney has become so entwined with modern childhood that most people remain devotees when they're adults. The only thing they do better than movies, is movie merchandise, and whether it is toys, games, books, or costumes, the Disney Store is the place to get all things Disney.
What can I buy from Disney Store?
Disney girls - Everything from princess dresses to comic book heroine-shirts, there's something for every Disney fangirl.
Disney boys - For the little man in your life, snatch up Disney-themed goods including costumes, everyday clothes and toys.
Disney adults - Not just for kids, Disney's go a huge range of goods for the young-at-heart including everything from character tees right up to Swarovski-encrusted replicas of Cinderella Castle.
Disney Store Review | Pros and Cons
- Disney brands: Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar are some of the biggest brands in the world, and with Disney thrown in there you wind up with one of the greatest arrays of popular entertainment merchandise in the world.
- Variety: Toys, books, games, lunch boxes, action figures, the amount of different items available at the Disney Store is quite astounding.
- No free shipping: There is no free shipping to Australia no matter how much you spend.
- No rewards: The Disney Store does not have a rewards program, so there is no way to unlock additional savings.
How does Disney Store shipping and delivery work?
The Disney Store offers international shipping to Australia, however the cost is quite expensive. For example, to purchase a bodysuit for a baby, it costs approximately $40.50 to have it posted to Australia. It might be more worthwhile to either group buy with friends and family to make this purchase more affordable, or to order the item via a parcel forwarding system like Shopmate. Disney Store often offers free delivery with minimum purchase to US addresses, so you can send it to Shopmate's US address for free and have it forwarded to your Australian address for a fee (which might be cheaper than shipping it direct from Disney Store).
For full information check out our review page here: Shopmate.
What forms of payment does Disney Store accept?
- Visa
- Visa Debit
- MasterCard
- Mastercard Debit
- PayPal
What is the Disney Store returns policy?
The Disney Store will not accept returns in the case of items no longer wanted or if you have found them cheaper elsewhere, but they will accept returns if the items purchased are faulty, wrongly described or incorrect.

Russia Stocks Retreat as Energy to Bank Shares Drop on Ukraine
The Micex Index (INDEXCF) fell as Ukraine said Russia continues to supply arms to rebels in the east of the country, rekindling tension between the two nations.
The equity gauge retreated 0.7 percent to 1,374.19 by the close in Moscow. VTB Group, the nation's second-biggest bank, dropped 1.9 percent and OAO Sberbank, the largest, lost 0.9 percent. Oil producer OAO Rosneft declined 1.2 percent. OAO Gazprom slid 0.4 percent as Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said financial resources for Ukraine's advance payments for future deliveries still need to be discussed.
A column of military equipment and personnel entered the rebel-held area of Ukraine from Russia yesterday, a Ukrainian military spokesman said in Kiev today. The U.S. and European Union imposed restrictions on Russian officials and companies after the March annexation of Crimea and as punishment for Russia's alleged role in fomenting the uprising. Russia denies involvement in the conflict.
«Everyone got concerned by Ukraine's statements that Russia is supporting rebels with arms,» Vladimir Vedeneev, the chief investment officer at Raiffeisen Capital in Moscow, said by e-mail. «While some investors still hope for an early lifting of sanctions, such statements make this option almost unrealistic.»
Oil and banking stocks are most sensitive as these sectors suffer most from the sanctions, he said.
Norilsk, MMK
OAO GMK Norilsk Nickel gained 1.7 percent. Norilsk management plans to propose interim dividends to the board as soon as Oct. 31 that may include a special payout from the sale of assets, Chief Executive Officer Vladimir Potanin said in an interview published yesterday. United Co. Rusal, which owns 28 percent of Norilsk, added 2.6 percent.
«When a company like Norilsk starts spreading its cash among shareholders, this is very positive news,» Vladimir Bragin, the head of research at Alfa Capital in Moscow, said by phone.
OAO Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel dropped 3.2 percent. The U.S. Department of Commerce said it will terminate a pact that suspends anti-dumping duties on some Russian steel products.
«The U.S.'s decision to impose anti-dumping duties on steelmakers is a concern because this signals another round of sanctions and trade wars and possibly a similar measure from the EU, which would be far more serious,» Bragin said.
The Micex, which has retreated 2.6 percent this month, traded at 4.6 times projected 12-month earnings, within 0.1 of the cheapest multiple since March.
Brent crude climbed 0.7 percent to $86.79 a barrel after reaching the lowest level in almost four years on Oct. 16. About half Russia's budget revenue comes from oil and natural gas.
The dollar-denominated RTS Index (RTSI$) slid 1.5 percent to 1,047.47 after dropping last week to the lowest level since August 2009. U.S.-based exchange-traded funds that invest in Russian stocks had $17.9 million inflows yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Recommended Coworking Space in Lome and nearby
Recent Reviews in Lome
Once upon a time, Lomé was known as the "Paris" of West Africa. The capital of Togo, Lomé is elegantly dressed in wide boulevards and palm-fringed beaches, where French is the national language. Charming and safe, it is known for its colorful craft markets where some have a definite voodoo bent, a thumping nightlife scene and stunning white sandy beaches.
For the adventurous soul you can take a hike in the coffee growing region of Kpalimé or go to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Koutammakou in the Tamberma Valley where you can mingle with the locals, the "Batammariba" people who live in tower-houses of mud and straw. This trip is not for the feint hearted, but well worth the effort to get there. From Lomé you can also go on a safari to either the Fazao Mafakassa National Park or the Kéran National Park where there are great trekking routes, waterfalls and the odd elephant.
Lomé itself is light on tourist sights but the one that must no be missed is the Marché des Féticheurs, about 4 km outside of the city, you can grab a taxi-moto to get there. This is where you will find the bizarre and the traditional voodoo cult items: donkey skulls, serpent heads, warthog teeth, porcupine skins, voodoo charms and masks and an assortment of dubious health tonics.

Static variables
* If the value of a variable is not varied from object to object then it is not recommended to declare a variable as an instance variable. We have to declare such type of a variable at class level by using a static modifier.
* In the case instance variables for every object as a separate copy will be created but in the case of static variables a single copy will be created at the class level and shared by every object of the class.
* Static variable should be declared within the class directly but outside of any method, block or constructor.
* Static variable will be created at the time of class loading and destroyed (at the time of class unloading), hence the scope of the static variable is exactly same as the scope of the .class file. Internal steps for the load to unload a class

Politics & Government
Obama, McCain offer very different energy plans
WASHINGTON — John McCain and Barack Obama are offering voters very different views of America's energy future.
Obama envisions the federal government funding alternative energy development and mandating lower fuel consumption. McCain sees a less direct federal role, relying on government incentives and market forces to boost energy supplies and promote efficiency.
Both candidates are similar in one respect: They pledge a comprehensive overhaul of energy policy. But they offer sharply divergent paths that analysts often find confounding and impractical.
"They both have ambitious goals, but less than ambitious means," said Bruce Bullock, the director of Southern Methodist University's Maguire Energy Institute.
Richard Kearney, the director of the School of Public and International Affairs at North Carolina State University, put it more starkly: "They're just throwing stuff against a wall and seeing what sticks."
"I'm not sure McCain has a good grasp of cap and trade" — a system that provides economic incentives to polluters to reduce emissions — "or renewables' complexities," Kearney said, "and Obama is throwing a lot of stuff out there but hasn't really set any priorities."
Experts agreed that neither candidate's plan is likely to lower energy prices anytime soon.
"There's no silver bullet that will bring prices down," Bullock said.
Voters will have a particularly tough task sorting out all the ideas.
"If I were a voter and didn't know much about energy, I would think that nothing the candidates are saying, at first glance, sounds wrong," said Robert Kaufmann, the director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies at Boston University.
In addition, voters should understand "there is no singular answer. Markets are too complex and our energy needs are too great," added Philip Sharp, the president of Resources for the Future, a nonpartisan research group.
To sort out the energy plans, experts said, voters need to consider these questions:
• Will either plan help the United States reduce its dependence on oil?
The United States consumes about 20.6 million barrels of oil a day. About 60 percent is imported. That's well above the 35.8 percent that was imported in 1975, when President Ford, and later President Carter, put their political weight behind comprehensive energy legislation.
Obama aims to reduce oil consumption by at least 35 percent by 2030; among his ideas to curb demand is to increase the fleet average for cars and trucks to 49 miles per gallon in 18 years and increase it by 4 percent each year thereafter. McCain doesn't set specific goals for consumption or auto standards.
Auto fleet-average mileage standards are scheduled under current law to increase from today's 27.5 miles per gallon to 35 mpg by 2020.
McCain focuses on increasing oil supplies, emphasizing that his plan to end the 27-year-old moratorium on drilling off most U.S. coastal waters will free up "enormous energy reserves."
The Interior Department estimated in 2006 that the Outer Continental Shelf could hold 115.4 billion barrels, though it also estimated that recoverable reserves off areas where production now is barred probably hold only 19 billion barrels, enough to provide about 2.5 years of U.S. consumption.
Ken Medlock, fellow in energy studies at Rice University, sees two reasons to drill offshore: "I like the idea of being able to get supplies where we can," he said, "and you earmark the royalties (from leases) for alternative fuels."
SMU's Bullock cited another reason: Cars are likely to remain dependent on oil for the immediate future, so finding more oil is probably a necessity.
"To get above 35 miles per gallon, you'd have to have a complete hybrid fleet or vehicles that only ran on alternative fuel," which is unlikely, he said.
• Can the government set energy policy on a radically different course?
McCain and Obama say that's their goal.
McCain would use the cap and trade system as a way to promote alternative fuels. Funds would help develop cleaner energy technologies, including nuclear power.
The Arizona senator also would provide what he calls an "evenhanded system of tax credits" to encourage renewable-energy development "that will remain in place until the market transforms sufficiently to the point where renewable energy no longer merits the taxpayers' dollars."
Obama, who also supports a form of cap and trade, would spend $150 billion over 10 years to help develop biofuels, "commercial-scale renewable energy," plug-in hybrids, low-emission coal plants and other exotic sources.
The Illinois senator also pledges to double federal research funding for clean energy projects, notably biomass, solar and wind.
Such a commitment is crucial, said David Sandalow, an energy expert at Washington's Brookings Institution, a center-left research center.
"We need steady and dependable support for solar and wind power and other renewables," he said, "and if we do that, I think this industry will grow enormously and be a potentially huge engine of job growth over the course of the next couple of decades."
Critics, though, see such a massive move to alternative fuels as risky.
"If these things don't work, what's plan B?" asked Ben Lieberman, senior energy policy analyst at Washington's Heritage Foundation, a conservative research center.
McCain's Plan B would be new oil production and electricity from what he hopes will be 45 new nuclear power plants by 2030. Obama doesn't oppose nuclear power, but makes no specific commitment to support new plants.
N.C. State's Kearney noted one key flaw in Obama's approach: "He's opposed to dumping waste at Yucca Mountain," the Nevada site that's planned as the nation's repository for nuclear waste. Obama supports more federal research into whether the waste can be stored safely and then reused; McCain backs using Yucca Mountain for nuclear waste.
• Can the program be sold to the public?
The biggest energy-policy problem the new president will have is likely to be political. Massive energy programs can be a tough sell, particularly to a public that wants price relief now, and with a strong array of special interests ready to pounce.
Yet President Carter did it in the late 1970s. It took all four years of his term, but he got about three-fourths of what he first proposed, and from the start he made it clear that his energy program was his top domestic priority.
At the moment, said Stuart Eizenstat, who was Carter's chief domestic-policy director and is now an Obama adviser, while "there is a broad consensus something needs to be done, what's lacking is a consensus to translate that into concrete action."
Jody Powell, press secretary to President Carter, is optimistic.
"The next president can get something done if he keeps the package comprehensive and balanced," he said.
U.S. oil consumption since 1963

Masterfully composed by journalist and musician James McBride, The Color of Water seamlessly weaves together two coming-of-age narratives. The first describes the author's mother, Rachel Shilsky – the daughter of a poor, itinerant rabbi – as she grows up in a small Southern town that is as anti-Semitic as it is racist. The second story follows the early life of McBride himself, the eighth of 12 mixed-race children raised in the projects of Brooklyn. These two stories are expressed in captivating prose, exploring issues of race, class, faith, and identity.
McBride's mother, later known as Ruth McBride Jordan, stands out as one of the most resolute and inimitable characters in modern literature. I first read this book a decade ago, and her unique perspective and vernacular continue to resound in my mind. Raised in an abusive household, Jordan interprets her childhood trauma in a way that is forthright and expressive, yet lacking in self-pity. Over time, we see her transform from an emotionally-stunted Orthodox Jewish teen to an indomitable Christian woman who identifies most strongly with the black community.
The title of the book derives from a childhood conversation McBride has with his mother. Noting that she usually cries during church services, he wonders if this is because she wishes to be black like the other congregants. He asks her if God is black or white, to which she responds, "God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color." McBride's own struggle to understand his racial identity is closely bound up with his mother's complex history. This is a relationship he explores with tenderness, candor, and unflinching self-examination.
Due to the multi-faceted natures of both stories, it is difficult to characterize this book. The Color of Water embodies the many layers that comprise an identity and the faith that brings great love and triumph out of suffering. It is a son's vibrant tribute to the tenacity of his mother, and a story of deep, abiding love. It is powerfully illuminating for empathizing with the other, and instructive for how a faith community can serve as either a great barrier or an irreplaceable support for building that understanding.
Note: Though this book is not overly explicit in nature, there are scenes and themes that could be triggering for survivors of sexual abuse.

Banner at Soccer Match: "Rome is Fascist"
Well, there you go. Not subtle. Banners "with huge swastikas and the words, "Rome is Fascist" that appeared during clashes with police at Sunday's soccer match" in Rome. It's a typically European combination of extremist politics and soccer fanaticism.
Lazio fans identify with the Right and consider the Livorno team leftists. Along with chanting "Jews! Jews!" as an insult against the Livorno players, they also screamed "Fedayin!" – referring to the presumed pro-Palestinian sympathies of the "leftists" from Livorno.
And it's not a joke. 85 police were injured in the melee. The "ultras" as they are called are "organized themselves "into a hierarchy with politicized leaders," said Chief Inspector de Franco, adding that they were united more by extremist political conditioning than by their love of soccer."
And don't think that the leftist were sweet harmless pacifists either. "But the violence is not monopolized by rightists. It is instigated and carried out by extremists on both sides of the political spectrum."

Phone phishing scams for IT support seem to be back in action in late 2014. Consumers are getting phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft or another technology vendor (Internet, antivirus, etc.) about an urgent problem that needs to be fixed right away.
How the scam call works
The scam caller will tell you the reason they are calling is your machine has sent out a virus alert that needs immediate attention. An alternate scam involves expired licenses for software.
The caller will then ask you to allow them to take over your PC using a remote connection in order to remove the virus or update the license information so you don't lose access to your computer.
Once the scammer is given access to your computer, they will show you a few random errors (which are harmless) to "prove" the presence of the virus or the need for the license update.
Now the scammer will download a program to "protect and update your computer" but the download is actually malware. If you're on a network, this could compromise everyone connected to the network.
Scammers will use phone directories and other websites to dig up personal information that makes the call sound legitimate. They may know the name of your boss or claim to be working with your company's IT consultant if you don't have an in-house IT department.
How to protect yourself
Be VERY skeptical of unsolicited phone calls. Never provide any personal information or remote access in these situations. The caller will paint a bleak picture of what could happen if he or she isn't allowed to help you right then and there. Don't give in to the pressure. If you're concerned and want to confirm the potential issue, tell the caller you will call back using published corporate support numbers and hang up.
Tell your IT provider right away. These kinds of scams rely on tricking people. If you get fooled, don't let any embarrassment put your company's network and data at risk. We'll help you get things fixed and determine what needs to be done to prevent future problems.
Protect your financial data. Bank account information is frequently the target of these scams. Use a different computer to change login information for financial institutions and any other sensitive data. Don't forget to create a strong password.
Monitor financial accounts for suspicious charges. Online banking is the best way to do this as you can access real-time information. You may even want to add an alert to your credit report.
Consider reporting the call to the authorities. You can do this online at the FCC website.
Avoiding scams has become part of being connected to the Internet. Healthy skepticism of any unexpected message (phone, email and text) you receive is one of the best ways to protect yourself online.

When I don't know how to do something I generally do a combination of winging it and seeing if people smarter than me have put instructions on the interwebs for me to follow. Most of the time this combination works out pretty well.
My pattern didn't come with instructions for a lining, so I sort of followed the tutorial written by Tasia on Tilly and the Buttons. Since my pattern doesn't have sleeves, and mine does have a collar, I modified the instructions to fit my needs. Sewing is all about bending the rules, right?
I traced my original pattern pieces onto Swedish Tracing Paper and used Tasia's instructions to draft the lining pieces.
I know. This picture sucks.The original pattern pieces are in blue, and where I made modifications to where I actually needed to cut are in pink. I also made sure to transfer over other markings, like the circles for the pockets because I wouldn't want to cover up the pockets I worked so hard on!
The pockets were also a difference from Tasia's tutorial because I needed to use the same seams due to those pesky pockets. So my lining had four pieces instead of her two.
I cut out my new pattern pieces, labeled them accordingly, and sewed up my lining. For the hand/pocket holes, I cut into the fabric at the holes and did a turn and stitch approach to create the space and take care of the raw edge. Also, since my jacket already has a pleat, I added an extra inch to Tasia's recommended 1" to make sure I have plenty of wingspan for hugs.
Once I had all my lining pieces attached at the proverbial hip, I lined up the collar and the top of my lining right sides together. Oh wait! This is where I added my hanging chain. Tasia had used a tutorial that she linked to quite a while ago, but when I went to the link the blog was gone. So, I winged it.
I picked up some grosgrain ribbon and a bracelet/necklace making kit. I used two jump rings and a length of the bracelet, cut two pieces of ribbon about 2" long, folded them in half (for extra strength) and pinned them in place. While sewing the lining in place, I made sure to go over the ribbon ends lots of times to make sure they don't pull out.
Since my cape is kind of an awkward shape all around, the lining that attaches to the collar was the only part I could sew by machine. I went down each side and methodically hand stitched the lining the the facings. I slip stitched the pocket opening to the pocket holes and welt flaps. Finally, I folded the bottom edge under and slip stitched to the seam line. I did this to create vertical ease in the lining. If you look at the inside of a lined jacket, you will see that the lining either has a fold at the bottom, or the lining hangs free and is tacked in at a couple select spots, like the seams.
ITZSOPREEEETTYYYYOMGAnd then .... drum roll please .... A FINISHED CAPE!!!!!! Photos to come.

On top of what you are doing, we're going to now add another strength challenge as well as introduce LSD Training into your workout week.
"LSD" or "Long Slow Distance" can also be known as steady state training. This is great for a number of reasons: One of those reasons is that it will help with the efficiency in burning fat. Often doing long walks, runs, swims, bikes at 60-70% of your maximum effort for a long duration (1+hours) you are in an aerobic state, which means you are mainly burning fat for energy. Over time, doing these work outs, you will get more efficient in the aerobic energy break down process (fuel for the body). Another reason is that it will increase the capillary density in the muscles. Capillaries are small "net like" areas in the body where the oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-depleted blood are exchanged. When you develop more capillaries you become more efficient in getting fuel to the muscles and getting rid of the waste – improving your endurance levels. You will also increase both your artery and vein diameter, allowing for more blood to pump through the body, resulting in more energy getting to the muscles faster – again making your body more efficient at getting rid of any byproducts. AND you will also increase the mitochondrial density in your cells. Mitochondria are responsible for the breakdown of sugars, which gives you energy. More mitochondria will help you go faster and again, more endurance.
Challenge 3

I am not one of those girls that can wake up and look flawless. My skintone is uneven, I have terribly dark circles under my eyes, and well….it just isn't pretty!
For the most part, my daily makeup remains the same. Sometimes I give myself a little more coverage, depending on how terrible I look/feel when I wake up. I may wear a little more concealer, or less eye makeup than the day before. In general though, you can find me wearing pretty much the same makeup every day.
Over the last few months I have gotten a few requests as to what makeup I use, how I apply, etc. Since I am not tech savvy, and I just don't have the time (translation:patience) to film a video and edit, you get my daily makeup routine in pictures!
This is what I look like sans makeup, when I get up in the morning (if I remembered to wash my face the night before). Dark circles, uneven color, the whole shebang.
Lately, I have been applying the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel after I shower, along with Neutrogena Rapid Dark Circle Repair. As you can see, I need some repair! It has some light reflecting minerals (a little bit of shimmer) to it and just evens out the dark circles a little bit.
Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue (I use Natural) has been a recent add to my beauty routine. I have been using Bare Minerals products for about 10 years now, so I am always eager and willing to try out anything new they have. This is a tinted moisturizer, similar to BB and CC creams.
I put this on before any of my other makeup. Some days, if I don't really have any plans, I just wear this and nothing else, but it does act as a great base to your other makeup. It gives a sheer to medium coverage and has an SPF of 30, which I also love. So far, I love it- I feel like it evens out my tone! You can use their Smoothing Face Brush to apply it, or you can use your fingers, like I do.
This is after the Complexion Rescue. I feel like with some blush and some light lipgloss I would feel totally comfortable heading out like this!
Next, using Sonia Kashuk Brush No 110 (similar) and Bare Minerals Correcting Concealer in Light 2, I apply to my under eyes in an inverted triangle. I end up using my ring fingers to blend. I dab to blend- not rub.
I don't use the concealer every single day, either. As I've gotten older, my skin has gotten more sensitive under my eyes. I noticed if I use the concealer pretty frequently it starts to irritate. On days where I don't need as much coverage, I use Bare Minerals Well Rested. I am telling you guys, I SWEAR by this eye brightening powder. I started using it after I had Ella- I remember my boss at the time asking me how I looked so rested with a newborn. Well Rested! To apply that I use their Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush.
Next, I move on to my eyes. I used to do my eyes last, but I do them before my foundation. It is easier to clean up any eye shadow remnants. I use Bare Minerals Queen Phyllis on my brow bone with an old shadow brush. Although I have a good bit of eye shadows, I use Urban Decay's Naked palette on a daily basis. I use the brush provided with the palette to apply Smog all over my lid. I use Darkhorse for eye liner and Bark to fill in my brows. For both of those are use a brush similar to this.
I have been using Cover Girl Lash Blast since Ella was born. I swear by it! I have tried many others over the years but I always go back to Cover Girl! Something about it just works so well for me! I apply my mascara after my eye shadow and eyeliner. I typically do several coats.
After completing my eyes, I apply my foundation. Bare Minerals foundation has been in my makeup bag for about ten years. I have always used the same Medium Beige shade and have been super happy with it. I am able to use it year round, and the coverage is perfect for me. I use the Precision Face Brush to apply. I just purchased it a couple of months ago and love it. I had been using the same brush for years, so it was definitely time for a new one! I make sure to apply all over my face, into my hair line and blend down into my neck.
Next I do my contouring and highlighting. I use Bare Minerals Concealer in Honey Bisque. I realize it is a concealer, but it applies so well as a contouring powder. I use elf's blending brush to apply.
I apply the Honey Bisque to accentuate my cheekbones, on either side of the bridge of my nose, and right along my hair line.
I don't blend after I apply-I save that until the very end. It looks a bit dramatic and over the top, but I swear it blends well!
Next, I use Bare Minerals Full Tapered Blush and Eye brush (gifted, similar) to apply blush to the apples of my cheeks. I use Bare Minerals blush in Laughter. Just like the contour powder, I don't blend yet.
Lastly, I use Bare Minerals Illuminating Mineral Veil to highlight my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, and my forehead. It has the perfect amount of shimmer to highlight. Once again, I don't blend yet!
Finally, I use Sonia Kashuk's No 4 brush. The flat top is perfect for buffing and blending!!
The completed look! Subtle highlight and contour, but perfect for everyday!! I know it seems like a lot, but it really doesn't take long at all. And like I said before, I don't do all of this every.single.day. Most days, yes, but not every day.
While you can achieve this look with any makeup that you have, I definitely recommend Bare Minerals. While it isn't the least expensive, it is totally worth it. Any questions at all, just ask! I'd be happy to help!
Now on to the fun giveaway! I have partnered with several other great bloggers to give away some great prizes! Good luck!

A popular speaker among colleges, diversity groups and community associations, Jones' intimate view of the American civil rights movement paints a dynamic portrait of the people and events that defined this era.
Newton, MA (PRWEB) January 16, 2014
Clarence B. Jones has had a distinguished career, most notably serving as the political advisor, counsel, and draft speechwriter for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including writing the first six paragraphs of King's celebrated "I Have A Dream" speech. Now, Jones is sharing his firsthand experiences and insights of Dr. King, the civil rights movement and the power of positive change with worldwide audiences through American Program Bureau.
More than an icon of one of the country's most tumultuous eras, Jones was also a trailblazer in the financial industry, becoming the first African-American partner in a Wall Street investment banking firm, and being named Fortune's Business Man of the Month twice. Currently the First Diversity Visiting Professor at the University of San Francisco teaching the art of advocacy speech writing, and a scholar writer in residence at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research & Education Institute, Jones has authored several books and has provided strategic legal and financial consulting to several governments around the world.
A popular speaker among colleges, diversity groups and community associations, Jones' intimate view of the American civil rights movement paints a dynamic portrait of the people and events that defined this era, and provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear from one of the last remaining chief architects from this time. Jones also challenges audiences to solve the societal problems America faces today through change, unity and awareness.
Corporate, legal and financial organizations also can benefit from Jones' extensive expertise in those areas. A much requested speaker, he has addressed corporate audiences at Citigroup, British Petroleum, GE, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, The Limited, Royal Bank of Scotland, Disney Imagineering, and Google - and laws firms such as Sullivan & Cromwell – sharing the strategies that laid the groundwork for his many remarkable contributions to these fields.

A Montreal-based developer with a significant Ottawa presence has launched plans for a large new retail outlet in Kanata that will feature U.S.-based Bass Pro Shops as an anchor tenant.
Broccolini has signed up the hunting, fishing and camping gear retailer to take over 120,000 square feet of space by the middle of 2015 at a new development planned for Kanata, Bass Pro Shops announced Wednesday in a news release.
The store, Bass Pro Shops' first location in Ottawa, will be located directly across from the Canadian Tire Centre along Highway 417.
"The location is both high-profile and accessible, which will allow us to bring Bass Pro Shops' low prices and friendly, expert service to better serve the area's many sportsmen and women as well as those visiting Ottawa," said Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops, in a statement.
The store is directly adjacent to a new 350,000-square foot development RioCan is planning, said Tammy Sapp, a Bass Pro Shops' spokeswoman. That project will feature U.S.-based retailer Tanger Outlet's first foray into the capital.
Attempts to reach Broccolini executives to discuss the new development – including how big the entire project will be and which other tenants are involved – were unsuccessful.
Bass Pro's store will also feature a restaurant and a "nautical-themed" bowling alley, the release said.

The test drive is probably the most important thing when looking at your next car – it is the car you could end up driving after all. When discussing with dealers your options, you can feel under pressure to make a decision you may end up regretting.
Some dealers will let you have a car for longer - even overnight or for a weekend, so it's definitely worth asking.
Let's begin with the basics
Many dealers, for insurance purposes, have a minimum driver age on cars. This is often 21, but can be higher on more expensive cars. Always check that you have your license with you, as otherwise the dealer may not let you drive the car.
Also check you're insured, too. Most dealers have trade plates to cover you in a car - so it shouldn't be an issue, but it's always worth asking for that added peace of mind.
Here are our top tips:
1. Check you can get comfortable
It might sound obvious, but if you can't get comfortable, the car is probably not for you. Check the driving position, as well as the adjustability of the seats and steering wheel so that you can get comfy.
2. Make sure you drive the car in the spec you want
Many dealers often have limited model choices. This might mean that the car you test drive may not be the one you end up buying. Automatic and manual transmissions can hugely alter the way a car drives, so ensure you've driven a car in the exact spec that you want to buy it. You may be disappointed otherwise.
3. Take your own path
Dealers can often have pre-planned routes that they like you to take – these can often be smooth roads. If you know the area and want to challenge the car, don't be frightened to create your own route.
4. Try a route that mimics the driving you do
If you spend most of your time driving in a town or city, it makes sense to test drive the car there. While this might not always be possible, it's best to try and simulate the driving you will do in the real world when out testing it.
5. Check the car is practical enough for children, and luggage
If you regularly carry children in your car, make sure you bring them with you on the test drive. Check the car seats properly, too, and that it is easy to get the children in and out of the car.
If you also use the car for shopping, bring your bags with you to check that the car will be big enough. People have also been known to take things as odd as cricket bags into dealerships to ensure they will fit in the car. It certainly makes a lot of sense, as there is no point buying a car that is just not big enough for your needs.
6. Plan ahead
While it's not always possible to, it's always worth thinking ahead a few years - if that's how long you intend to keep the car. If you have children now, think about whether it will still be big enough for them in the next two years, or perhaps if you plan to use the car for teaching your children to drive in the future.
7. Check the infotainment
It is always worth checking the car's infotainment system, to see if it is easy to use. Some screens are difficult to use, and you don't want to buy a car that you can't use to its full extent. Also check the vehicle's connectivity and satellite navigation to see that you can find them easy to use.
8. Is it easy to park?
There's no point buying a car that you find difficult to park, so it's worth checking you're happy with the size of it and that you find it easy to manoeuvre - even if it does come with a reversing camera and parking sensors.
9. Don't be frightened to ask for more time, or a second test drive
A select few dealers can allow you to have a car overnight, or even for a weekend, which allows you to see how well it fits into your actual routine. It's always worth asking if the dealer offers this, and if they don't, come back for a second test drive.
10. Don't rush into decisions
While you might think that the car you've just driven is perfect, there's no point rushing into a choice you might regret. It's always worth sleeping on a decision, and test driving your other choices - even if you feel that the car you've just driven is perfect for you.
