"The most important object in Boy Scout training is to educate, not instruct."
-Sir Robert Baden Powell
One of the joys of being a Scoutmaster is that I get to learn something daily too. In the Junior Leader Training we discuss Communication, a vital component to leadership.
Part of the communication discussion is the parts of communicating, principally- the Sender, the Message, and the Receiver. In a constant feedback loop.
So what does that have to do with the quote at the top?
We have reached a point in our Troop where the message is clouded. Much like a radio station coming in fuzzy or the frequency is off by just a smidge. Our station seems to be caught up in the same commercials too. Have you ever noticed that you stop listening to commercials that are familiar? Especially the dull ones.
Our message is being sent and received, but not heard in some cases.
For example; Basic skills and discipline. The Assistant Scoutmasters and I seem to always say the same thing over and over again regarding basic skills and discipline. At first I thought it was the boys and then I thought about communication and what was missing in our attempt at Effective communication. That led me to the BP Quote above…. maybe we are not educating.. maybe we are instructing. And maybe that is not effective beyond the initial skills instruction. After a while it starts to become a fuzzy commercial.
So what is the fix? Change the delivery of the message? Change the message? Well I think it may be a little bit of both, especially the delivery.
You see Education encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, positive judgment and well-developed wisdom. Education means 'to draw out', facilitating realization of self-potential and latent talents of an individual.
While Instruction is a form of communicated information that is both command and explanation for how an action, behavior, method, or task is to be begun, completed, conducted, or executed.
This takes away the autonomy of the boy led troop to a certain degree. It also takes away the Scouts ability to develop at his own pace and participate at the level he desires. This also affects the way the Scouts process the information. If they are told to do something, they may be resistant, if they are given educated choices, they may tend to come up with solutions on their own. "I am not going to zip up my coat because he keeps harping on me" now becomes, "I'll zip up my coat because I am getting wet".
Instructions command, Education leads to guided discovery and that is what we are trying to achieve.
So changing the approach of the message from instruction to education can lead to clearer communication that the Scouts will respond to in a more positive light.
Hmmm… Old Baden Powell had it right!
Happy Scouting!

Comment Re:Salary per hour is more important. (Score 1) 133
The idea is to work extra, save money, and use that to buy even more free time down the road (early retirement, for example).
But most people forget the saving part, and spend it as soon as they earn it, and wonder why they feel poor on $150,000 per year.

From the World Heritage inscription for the Historic Centre of Florence:
Built on the site of an Etruscan settlement, Florence, the symbol of the Renaissance, rose to economic and cultural pre-eminence under the Medici in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its 600 years of extraordinary artistic activity can be seen above all in the 13th-century cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore), the Church of Santa Croce, the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace, the work of great masters such as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Michelangelo.
I didn't know a lot about the Historic Centre of Florence before I arrived, other than it was the seat of the Renaissance. I found it to be my favorite city in Italy. The single most recognizable feature of the skyline is the Florence Cathedral. It was at the time of its construction the largest dome in the world. I took this photo from across the river using a zoom lens.

Panel to focus on wrongful convictions
Posted November 14, 2013; 10:16 a.m.
The panel "'I Didn't Do It": A Conversation about Wrongful Convictions," will focus on how advocates, attorneys and journalists spotlight judicial abuses and work to free the innocent. The panel moderator is Mike McGraw, a fall-term Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton who is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter on leave from the Kansas City Star. He will be joined by Kate Germond, director of Princeton-based Centurion Ministries, which has freed 53 wrongfully convicted individuals in the last 30 years; Mark Schand, a recent exoneree who served 27 years in prison before being released; and John Jay College of Criminal Justice lecturer Eugene O'Donnell, a former law enforcement officer and prosecutor.

Southwestern Students Join International Justice Mission to Advocate for Victims of Human Trafficking
Southwestern students Omote Ekwotafia, Danielle DeRose, and Nicholas Garces (pictured from right to left) were among 100 people from 25 states who recently took part in a day of advocacy organized by the human rights agency International Justice Mission (IJM). They traveled to Washington, D.C. and met with several members of Congress, including Congresswoman Diane Watson, Congressman Henry Waxman, Congressman George Radanovich, and Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard to build support for the Child Protection Compact Act of 2009. This new legislation aims to eliminate the trafficking of minors into forced prostitution and forced labor in target countries that have shown a demonstrated commitment to dealing with the problem but lack adequate resources. The trafficking of persons is the third largest criminal industry after drugs and weapons, and the fastest growing criminal activity in the world. According to UNICEF, there are nearly two million children in the commercial sex trade worldwide and, according to the U.S. Department of State, 80% of human trafficking victims are women and girls, while as many as 50% are minors.
"I thought I'd be learning how to hand flyers out and better talk about IJM," said Nicholas Garces, Vice President of IJM at Southwestern. "I didn't think I'd be a lobbyist for IJM meeting congressional representatives and asking them to co-sponsor a bill for efforts to stop human trafficking abroad. I felt so empowered and official. I was really doing something for IJM that could affect change."
The new legislation would double the annual budget of the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (G/TIP) for three years. The additional resources would be used to provide multiyear funding to facilitate the eradication of child trafficking in eligible "focus countries," thereby creating a model for other countries where this crime is often carried out with relative impunity. G/TIP's current budget for grant-making is approximately $18 million, given annually to organizations in over 43 countries.
Groups such as IJM are seeing big improvements over short periods of time. In just under two years of collaboration with local authorities in Cebu, Philippines, the number of child prostitutes reduced by 70 percent. "It's amazing to see how IJM uses law to truly change the lives of people all over the world," said Omote Ekwotafia, President of IJM at Southwestern. "It's more than just helping people out of a tough situation; it's making a serious impact on corrupt justice systems and enabling to make their own changes."
Students formed the Southwestern Chapter of IJM this year in hopes of raising awareness about serious human rights violations that have become commonplace in countries across the world. Among other events, IJM at Southwestern held human rights movie nights to encourage discussion every month and also held a panel on careers in human rights. They also plan to visit their local members of Congress again this fall. For more information on IJM at Southwestern, click here or contact Omote Ekwotafia.

I walked up State Street earlier today, thinking of where I would like to grab lunch. A few paces, later I saw the sign for the Atrium Café.
Sounds good to me, I thought.
The very first time I went to the Atrium, I knew I'd be back. One thing I like is that they have "breakfast for lunch" items on the menu. Egg sandwiches are one of my favorites and I've always thought some folks limit themselves by only having them for breakfast.
At the Atrium — open 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. — you can get a fresh eggs sandwich made to order on the grill atop rustic country bread. There's also a breakfast burrito, which never seems to be a bad bet anywhere you go.
Today, I was in the mood for one of their warm wraps, which come expertly prepared on the grill. I went with the Chicken Caesar. It was a liberal serving of lettuce and Caesar dressing with chunks of chicken meat and sprinkled Parmesan cheese.
The man who prepares the wraps has an interesting system to watch. He tightly wraps the wrap and then places it on the grill with a weight over it. Then he flips it and does the same on the other side. The effect is an almost Panini-esque wrap with a crispy exterior and warm, flavorful inside.
The soup at the Atrium is also quite good. Today, I tried the crab bisque with a few cheddar biscuit wafers on the side. It was excellent. Sometimes when places make lobster or crab bisque they don't give you too much actual meat. That was not the case with this bisque.
All in all, my meal came to $10.85. Not too bad for a soup, sandwich and courtesy pickle.
I'd also say even if the food served at the Atrium doesn't sound like your cup of tea, it's worth eating there to take in the sight of the inside of the building. I know absolutely nothing about architecture, yet I'm easily wowed by interesting older buildings.
I like how the skylight provides a nice view as well as some good natural lighting. It's nice to know that when winter comes there's a good climate controlled place to go to have a warm soup and try to soak up some vitamin D.

Orchestra to perform works of Mahler, Prokofiev, April 28-29
Posted April 20, 2006; 11:26 p.m.
The Princeton University Orchestra, under the direction of Michael
Pratt, will present the annual Stuart B. Mindlin Memorial Concerts at 8
p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 28-29, in Richardson Auditorium,
Alexander Hall.
The final concerts of the year will offer perhaps the best known of the nine symphonies of Gustav Mahler, the Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor, and one of the most popular works in the solo violin repertory, Sergei Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor.
"Mahler's Fifth Symphony is one of the great symphonic landmarks," said Pratt. "It contains what is doubtless the best-known single movement by Mahler, the incomparable Adagietto for strings and harp. The movement received wide public exposure in the soundtrack of Luchino Visconti's 1971 film, 'Death in Venice.' The entire work brims with everything we love about Maher's music -- tenderness, violence, despair, ecstasy."
The soloist in the Prokofiev concerto will be the co-winner of this year's Concerto Competition, sophomore Steven Chen. Chen began his violin studies at age 5 and made his solo debut with the La Palma String Ensemble Orchestra in California at age 8. He has performed as a soloist with the Brentwood-Westwood Symphony Orchestra, the Olympia Youth Orchestra and the Southwestern Youth Music Festival Orchestra. As a winner of the Los Angeles Music Center Spotlight Awards, he performed at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, and received a full scholarship to attend the Aspen Music Festival in Colorado in 2004. At Princeton, he plans to major in economics and is pursuing certificates in finance and music performance.
Tickets are $18 for general admission, $15 for seniors and $5 for students, and are available through the Richardson Auditorium box office at (609) 258-5000 or online through University Ticketing.

To Filter or Not: The Pros and Cons of Using Parental Control Software
Besides setting guidelines for use of the Internet, there is one more action for families to consider in their quest for child safety on the Internet- installing parental control or filtering software to limit exposure to adult materials which may be considered pornographic or harmful to children. The software can be installed on a personal home computer, or some Internet service providers offer filtering as an option.
Parental control software, such as CyberPatrol, Net Nanny, and GuardiaNet, is designed to restrict Internet access in several ways. First, the software will block access to web sites with content deemed inappropriate for children by the software company. Most software will also filter and restrict access to web pages based on key words such as "sex." Each company's software works from a unique and highly guarded database of blocked sites and key words which are based on company selected criteria of what constitutes inappropriate materials. General categories for blocking websites often include text and/or photos of an adult sexual nature, drugs and drug culture, violence and hate, racism and intolerance, gambling, tobacco, alcohol, and cruelty to animals. Adult users can select some or all of the categories to activate blocking of sites on those topics.
Most parental control software programs include other types of options allowing users to customize Internet access to fit family needs and circumstances. For example, the software may allow parents to set the time of day or number of hours per week the Internet will be available to children. Adults can also expand or subtract the list of blocked sites. Some programs allow parents to create different levels of Internet access based on the varying ages of children in the family. Some programs report the addresses of websites children have visited and restrict the sending of personal information such as name, address, and telephone number, known as "outgoing filtering." With yet other programs, local applications, such as games, can also be restricted. Settings are password protected.
There are various ways in which software can be purchased, and it is important to remember that new sites with the potential for inappropriate material are being added to the Internet each day. Some parental control programs can be obtained with a single purchase ranging from forty to fifty dollars and updating of blocked sites is included in the initial fee. Others are purchased with an annual subscription of around fifty dollars for the first year and approximately thirty dollars for the renewal. Parental control software purchased on a subscription basis includes updating of blocked sites with a frequency ranging from daily to monthly. Trial versions of parental control software can be downloaded (brought through the telephone line to your computer's hard drive) from the companies' web sites on the Internet and used for a short period of time to allow families to review features and see which will fit their needs.
Installing parental control software is a personal, family decision, and there are several important points to understand. It is critical to recognize that filtering software cannot guarantee that children or other family members will never see inappropriate material on the Internet. While blocking pornography and explicit adult sexual material, the software may also block access to useful information related to personal health issues and other topics. NO program is one hundred percent effective, and new sites are added to the Internet daily. Most of all, it is essential to realize that parental control software is not a substitute for active parent interaction with your children and supervision of their Internet use.
There is intense debate across the country relating to the use of filtering software programs in libraries and schools. One side feels children should not be exposed to pornography and other adult material found on the Internet and support filtering. For example, the website, Filtering Facts (http://www.filteringfacts.org) promotes use of filtering software in libraries. Those on the other side of the debate, including the American Library Association and its Office of Intellectual Freedom, want to protect the First Amendment rights of children on the Internet. Legislation has been introduced at the national level and in many state legislatures to require the use of filtering software to block access to information or sites on the Internet deemed inappropriate for minors.
If you are interested in parental control software and the issues surrounding it, visit the following sites or enter the terms "filtering software" or "parental control software" into your favorite search engine:
FamilyGuide Book...Because It's a Jungle Out There
Parry Aftab, parent, lawyer, author, and Executive Director of CyberAngels, has one of the largest online safety sites on the Internet. It includes a "Summary of Features of Filtering Software" chart with software costs.
A resource "to help kids have safe, educational, and entertaining online experiences," the site has a lengthy list of tools for filtering explicit content, to monitor a minor's access, or limit time online. Enter the type of content you are concerned with (i.e. sex, hate, violence, etc.), the type of technology (i.e., www, email, FTP), and the type of operating system of your computer, and a possible list of matching parental control software products will be listed with links.

Thread: moving my goldfish to a pond
moving my goldfish to a pond
I am looking for some advice on moving my coldwater fish to a pond.
I currently have two fish in my Hagen Tropiquarium 68 which has a 72ltr capacity. I have one 6 year old comet, which is around 17cm in length and a 9 month old shubunkin which is 9cm in length. A family member has a pond that currently has 4/5 goldfish in it at the moment and I am looking to move my fish into the pond fairly soon. I have been advised, by many, that my comet should have progressed into a pond by now.
The pond is filtrated (by a recently renewed filter/pump) and has been in place for around 15 years, so it must be doing ok in terms of structure and habitability for comets, shubunkins etc.
What should my concerns be about moving the fish? Do I need to test the water levels as I have an API kit - although i'm not sure if this is needed for a pond. The pond hasn't been cleaned out since last summer as far as i'm aware, but as I say i've never kept a pond before so I don't know how often or how you clean out a pond that is home to coldwater fish. What sort of maintainence should be carried out on the pond?
I'm planning on converting to a tropical tank, which is the reason for moving my goldfish, however i'll save that for another thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
I went to P@H today and got a couple of bags to move the fish, they're pretty big so I think they'll be safe enough being transported in that.
Other than goldfish/pond sticks, what else do fish eat in ponds?
There is a metal grid over the top of the pond, so i'm confident that herons won be coming down to swipe my fish from the pond as food.

By The Associated Press
OXFORD — Ole Miss defensive end C.J. Johnson is out for the rest of spring practice after suffering a broken fibula in his right leg during Wednesday's practice.
Johnson is expected to have surgery on Thursday, according to school officials. Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said Johnson's recovery time is expected to be about three months.
The 6-foot-3, 233-pound junior played in all 13 games last season and led the Rebels with 6½ sacks last season.
Freeze said in a statement that injuries "are a part of the game" and that the coaches "hate it for the kids." Johnson is part of a nucleus of young defense linemen — including Issac Gross, Channing Ward and Woodrow Hamilton — that had some success last season as the Rebels finished with a surprising 7-6 record.

As a fellow budget wonk, I like Paul Ryan a lot. But his policy proposals fall far short of his winning personality.
Ryan, the Wisconsin representative Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced today as his running mate, is both thoughtful and prolific. I could have many policy debates with him on a range of issues. Today, though, I'm going to focus on health care. Ryan's approach to health care is somewhat akin to a doctor observing that an arm is finally showing some signs of healing -- and then deciding to amputate it.
Over the past several years, health-care costs have decelerated dramatically -- suggesting our broken arm may slowly be starting to heal. But rather than reinforcing that progress, Ryan would chart a drastically different course, one that would not only shift substantial risk to beneficiaries but also, according to the Congressional Budget Office, actually raise health-care costs.
First, the good news. A report released last week by the Altarum Institute estimates that health-care costs have risen less than 4 percent over the past 12 months. The conventional wisdom to date has been that this slowdown, which has persisted for years now, is due to the weak economy. As the economy recovers, under this view, cost increases will spike again -- and if so, Ryan's toxic medicine could be seen as worth a try.

Nevermind. Mistook this for the movies thread.
Almost finished with the original novel that inspired Flash Forward.
Very little of the novel remains in the series. Mosaic is there, Llyod Simcoe is the main character, and something that may or may not be the cause of the flash forward in the series.

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
I finished Three Dog Nightmare by Chuck Negron. Some may find it interesting, especially if you're into rockers, but I had difficulty getting through it.
Negron was a full-blown heroin addict and he blames everything in life on his addition. That's convenient. You're just weak, Chuck. Your twin sister had the same crummy childhood and you say she came out just fine. You just made a bunch of bad decisions in life and we're supposed to be sympathetic.
He goes into great detail about his addiction and criminal activity (home invasion robberies, burglaries, etc.). Somehow, I guess he's looking for a sympathetic reader. Not this boy. You may have had a rocky start in life, Chuck, but you blew a tremendous opportunity. You like blaming other people and things more than yourself. I know many people who have had a crummy start in life but have prevailed into people I admire, because I work with them daily (I'm referring to one of my colleagues in my unit in particular).
I can only recommend this book if you're into psychology, rehabilitating drug addicts (in that respect it's a very good study but I don't think it was Negron's intention), or other community services that attend to drug addicts. He salutes them no end for the success in breaking his addiction (which only took 19 years).
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Still trying to power myself through Planet of Twilight and Barbara Hambly's authoring......Someone shoot me now please.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
I finished Vaylkrie just a bit ago, while and interesting subject I gotta say the book was dry and long winded. For whatever reason it just never really caught my interest, ohh well maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow at the library.
Finished Flash Forward a week or so ago.
Not bad, but not great. Easy to see why they chose the basic idea and other bits and pieces rather than the entire book.
About half way through The Lovely Bones. Seeing the trailer really piqued my interest. So far it's an amazing book, but also incredibly sad.

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
My oldest brother gave me a gift card to Borders for Christmas. Mrs. TI7 and I spent quite a while at our local store to see what we might find (I already had a few ideas as to what to look for). Unfortunately, the store was in the post-Christmas state of chaos: unkempt and no selection.
Undaunted, I went on line and ordered the following from Borders last night:
The Life and Legacy of Annie Oakley by Glenda Riley (I think her story is fascinating on many levels). And, thanks to JimJamBonds' recommendation, I'm picking up Call of Duty: My Life Before, During, and After the Band of Brothers by Lynn D. "Buck" Compton.
I love histories and biographies, so this should sate me for a while. I still have a bit left on the gift card and I may go back to Borders and give another look at a couple of books on Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt (my favorite president) that I almost picked up yesterday.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Finished the first of three volume edition of the Chinese tale of 3 Kingdoms (which part was recently made into the Red Cliff movies), and is the story of the fall of the Han dynasty.

I finished reading Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seenby Christopher McDougal this morning. For those that like to run I recommend reading it, its a quick read that I didn't want to put down. Its about Christopher McDougal asking the question 'why do we run' and the surprising answers he finds.

Darth Plagueis was back in stock earlier today on HTS and I managed to snag one.

Dec. 13th. I actually didn't even realize it was a pre-order until you wrote that and I went and looked at the e-mail.
I got the whole wave minus Plagueis due to their HTS availability.
Merumeru looks awesome, and it's great to finally get another Wookiee warrior for the first time since 2005. He's a little shorter than previous Wookiees, though I've yet to compare. I wish they had designed his shoulder armor and helmet for better posing, as he can't fully extend his arms up for the battle cry without those getting in the way (or, in the helmet's case, popping off). Aside from those, he's great.
Vizam is another amazing pit of Carkoon Nikto, lighter in color than last year's Lathe (the unnamed TVC Nikto Skiff Guard). The weathering is great here, with a paint wash bringing out the details in his face and outfit quite nicely. His removable hat fits and stays on nicely. His knee joints are blue, but otherwise he's a fantastic figure.
Neyo's helmet looks a little big, and the weathering varies from none at all on his belt to a scattershot, uneven amount everywhere else, but this is my favorite clone that they've done in a while. His torso is new to include extra gear sculpted to the back, and his head is a new sculpt that's larger and better-looking than the tiny pea-heads that the other modern clones have. His tattoo is crisply applied and you can make out the individual Aurebesh numbers (his clone number) better than initial images suggested. If you needed a reason to get excited about clones again, this is it.
Mace's coloring in both his skin and robes is different from previous Mace figures - he looks a little pale, and yes, they forgot the Jedi symbol on his left forearm. But otherwise, he's a lot cooler than I was expecting. The wrist articulation is much appreciated - just as in the show, he can point his saber at the poor fools who dare cross him (a feature I'd really like to see on a regular AOTC version so he can properly threaten Jango). The package doesn't make any mention of the Clone Wars show, or even the actual war, at all, with the card images coming from ROTS on the front and AOTC on the back. Jango's helmet is just a standard reused accessory and doesn't split apart or include an explosive or anything.

I've heard reports (both online and from my own mother) that this wave is now hitting Target. So hopefully that means figures might be flowing again? I'm glad it's not just Walgreens getting these figures anymore . . .

Guys, this is wave 4.
Wave 3 has Luminara, Pablo Jill.
JabbaJohn may be the only one NOT confused (but I was before, so no blame) but Mace, MeruMeru, Neyo, the Nikto are all in wave 4 as JabbaJohn was correctly posting about. (and thanks JJ for the good figure reviews)
I've seen wave 3 remnants at Wal-Mart, NOT Target, only.
No wild sightings of wave 4.

We haven't seen wave 4 on cards yet, and we're still not 100% clear on what it will include, but Hasbro revealed a handful of figures at New York Comic Con in October that are likely in wave 4:
*Luke Skywalker (Dagobah)
*Yoda (Dagobah)
*Wedge Antilles (Snowspeeder Pilot)
*Torynn Farr

Well, what I thought was a sighting of wave 3 in my area apparently was wave 2. Saw Luminara on the peg at the local WM last week.
Went to a toy con over the weekend and saw most of the TBS figures. The vendor was asking $18 apiece. I passed, but it was nice to actually see these figures in person. Mara Jade didn't look as bad as I thought in person, but I'd still consider swapping heads from the comic 2-pack Mara from a few years ago.
And I forgot to look at Plagueis!
Seriously, I had a dream last night where I found some figures from these waves (I still don't know which figs are from which; just that almost none of them have been sighted around here ), and I decided to take just one, "Exor Kun," off the pegs. I then realized 1) the name's misspelled, 2) Hasbro didn't make such a figure, and 3) the packaging had turned to Vintage.
Get out of my dreams, Hasbro, and get quality available figures into my cart!
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Anyone have any experience with the Aetertek electronic collars? I am at the point with my chocolate to start cc however wife out of work and 2 kids in school puts me on a seriously tight budget. I hate to skimp on a collar but much rather do so than skimp on the dogs training!
Would probably invest in a sportdog once funds allow. I just want to know if the Aetertek's will suffice for now so that I can stay on target with my training program.
Here's a link to the ones I am looking at on fleabay.

This is four rows taken in landscape at 70mm (35mm -> 1.5x). I really wanted to go out to 300mm, but it was 29*F with 25mph winds and my fingers started freezing. I'll be better prepared next time.

Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
Make the Salad
Make the Salad
Combine the rice vinegar and 2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Let sit to dissolve the salt. Put the potatoes and 2 Tbs. salt in a 6-quart pot and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook the potatoes until barely tender when poked with a fork or skewer, 20 to 25 minutes. If the potatoes aren't all the same size, remove them as they are cooked. (Baby potatoes will take 5 to 10 minutes.)
Gently drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside until just cool enough to handle. Using a paring knife, peel the potatoes by scraping off the skin. (Skip this step if using baby potatoes.) Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch chunks. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the vinegar and gently stir with a spatula to coat. With your fingers, pull apart any pieces that are stuck together.
When the potatoes have completely cooled, gently fold the celery, red onions, hard-boiled eggs, parsley, olives, and pickles into the potatoes. Fold in enough dressing to generously coat the potatoes (you may not need all of the dressing). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature or cold.

Clavia Nord Micro Modular
The Nord Micro Modular is a somewhat stripped down version of the massive Nord Modular system. Like the Nord Modular, a PC computer is used to virtually patch, tweak, edit and design your synth patches in a modular fashion. However the stand-alone keyboard interface has been replaced here by the very small four-knobbed Micro Modular interface. The software is the exactly the same as the original however the controller itself which houses DSP power is considerably less than that of the original - reducing this units polyphony from 32 to 4 voices or less and multitimbrality has been stripped away. Software version 2.1 adds many new features including a Ring Modulator, 14-Band FilterBank, Vocal Filter, FM Sine wave, Digitizer (bare-bones sampling) and many more tricks.
After you've created a patch using the software you can load it into one of 99 memories within the controller. It can then be used live or in a MIDI studio as a synth module. The simplified controller has a volume knob and 3 other knobs that can be assigned editable parameters. Limited as this might appear, you still get one of the biggest and most powerful modular synthesizer emulator programs in the world. The Micro Modular System is a fraction the cost of the Nord Modular and would be a powerful complement to any serious musicians arsenal. Be sure to get the latest OS version which is v3.03. It's been used by Autechre, u-ziQ, Speedy J, Kid606, Somatic Responses, Heretik, and Ixy.

...look carefully at the design, and ask yourself, "Can this actually be achieved?" I'll argue it cannot. I'm not trying to be negative here. Fact is, from my perspective, the design cannot even work as a two-person craft in-universe.
Most of the design is perfectly fine. It's when we get to the gunner's seat that we run into problems. Dak is shown in ESB sitting near (within arm's length) of the rear window. There's not enough room there for a second person, unless he's a contortionist. The pilot lies down comfortably (though one can argue that's not especially effective for a dude who's flying a combat vehicle). The gunner would have to be almost standing, only there's not enough height for him to do so. The only way he could fit would to squat in an incredibly uncomfortable position, where his only concern would be "Where can I get something to take my mind off the throbbing pain in my thighs and calves?" as opposed to "I need to shoot this AT-AT!" (Also bear in mind that there are what look like some sort of cooling or heating coils in the rear of the speeder, which would presumably take up a good chunk of space inside.)
Design issues in the movie notwithstanding (let's imagine the gunners either are highly trained to deal with the cramped quarters, or humans in the Star Wars galaxy aren't built with the same pain receptors we have), there's no way to fit an action figure into that space in a totally accurate Snowspeeder. The cockpit is shown only opening at the one hinge; forget how tough it must be for a human to get into that second seat without totally kicking out one or two major systems, it's tough enough to get a figure into the existing Snowspeeder. Make it smaller, and how are you going to get Dak (or Janson, or whoever) in and out? Even with added articulation on the figures, it'd require an additional opening on the Snowspeeder, which a lot of folks won't like. They could go for a permanently affixed figure (maybe just the upper body), though this proved unpopular with the Cruisemissile and Power FX X-Wing.
I don't see any way the new Snowspeeder can really be entirely accurate. The gunner is going to have to be placed in through a different hatch, or he's going to have to sit a bit too far forward. It looks better than the existing one, true, and I'm not complaining--fact is, I never even realized how physically impossible the Snowspeeder is in the movie until today. Just saying, is all.

In 2010, the IDF Life for a Child Programme was the recipient of a very generous donation from the Fondation de l'Orangerie and its donors. The donation, which will be spread over a period of two years, will help ensure the sustainability and expansion of Life for a Child.
The Fondation de l'Orangerie for Individual Philanthropy was set up by BNP Paribas Wealth Management and is exclusively dedicated to its clients. The Foundation's social mission is to "foster world's patrimony and knowledge and forward them to future generations". Its role is to welcome donations from its clients and allocate them in the most efficient manner to rigorously selected projects that are transparent and original.
In July 2011, The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust agreed a grant of US$1.193 million over two years for the International Diabetes Federation's Life for a Child Programme (LFAC).
The grant will allow Life for a Child to fulfil a number of key outcomes in enhancing care for disadvantaged children and youth with diabetes in developing countries. These include:
- Expansion of the program to help at least 17,000 children with diabetes in 44 countries.
- Enhanced clinical care and quality of life for children and youth supported by Life for a Child.
- Development of a global diabetes education resource, with resources available on-line to children, families and healthcare professionals in over 15 languages, as well as printing and distribution of specific materials.
- Extensive training of health professionals -- in partnership with the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) and various expert developed country centres.
- Establishment of a web-based database which will improve patient care, establish registries, and assist with monitoring and evaluation.
- Commencement of a multi-centre research project assessing epidemiology, complications and outcomes.
Additionally, improvements to monitoring and evaluation of the Programme itself will contribute to development and maximise impact of much-needed resources such as blood glucose equipment and insulin.
The Diabetes Hands Foundation (DHF) is a non-profit organisation based in California, USA that seeks to raise global awareness of diabetes and connect people affected by the disease. It has supported the IDF Life for a Child Programme through advocacy and funds donated from its annual Big Blue Test initiative.
The Charles Evans Hughes Memorial Foundation, a New York-based organisation, provided a generous grant to assist with the expansion of the IDF Life for a Child Programme in 2011-12.

Nice helmet great price good fit
Does not fit like the silver or red flake, sits a lot lower on face. More padding under the opening. Not a good fit at all
I never rode with this helmet (Bell Custom 500) but tried it on when it arrived. I live in a "free" state which doesn't require its citizens to subjugate to silly rules (LOL) so I don't have to wear a helmet. So having this bulky thing on my head was just silly. I returned it because I probably could have used a Large vs. XL but it probably would not have mattered as it would have been similar (big think on my head). I am sure that it passes all DOT test and is great, but the illusion of safety is just not worth it to me. Thought the 3/4 helmet would be nice but no such luck. I'll keep looking around. No rush though....
Fits like a glove and I have a long oval head. Nice low profile. This is my new highway lid.

doctoral dissertation, tech. report CMU-RI-TR-11-36, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, September, 2011
|Sequences of neural activity representing paths in an environment are expressed in the rodent hippocampus at three distinct time scales, with different hypothesized roles in hippocampal function. As an animal moves through an environment and passes through a series of place fields, place cells activate and deactivate in sequence, at the time scale of the animal's movement (i.e., the behavioral time scale).
Moreover, at each moment in time, as the animal's location in the environment overlaps with the firing fields of many place cells, the active place cells fire in sequence during each cycle of the 4-12 Hz theta oscillation observed in the hippocampal local field potentials (i.e., the theta time scale), such that the neural activity, in general, represents a short path that begins slightly behind the animal and ends slightly ahead of the animal. These sequences have been hypothesized to play a role in the encoding and recall of episodes of behavior.
Sequences of neural activity occurring at the third time scale are observed during both sleep and awake but restful states, when animals are paused and generally inattentive, and are associated with sharp wave ripple complexes (SWRs) observed in the hippocampal local field potentials. During the awake state, these sequences have been shown to begin near the animal's location and extend forward (forward replay) or backward (backward replay), and have been hypothesized to play a role in memory consolidation, path planning, and reinforcement learning.
This thesis uses a novel sequence detection method and a novel behavioral spatial decision task to study the functional significance of theta sequences and SWR sequences. The premise of the thesis is that by investigating the behavioral content represented by these sequences, we may further our understanding of how these sequences contribute to hippocampal function.
The first part of the thesis presents an analysis of SWR sequences or replays, revealing several novel properties of these sequences. In particular it was found that instead of preferentially representing the more recently experienced parts of the maze, as might be expected for memory consolidation, paths that were not recently experienced were more likely to be replayed. Additionally, paths that were never experienced, including shortcut paths, were observed. These observations suggest that hippocampal replay may play a role in constructing and maintaining a "cognitive map" of the environment.
The second part of the thesis investigates the properties of theta sequences. A recent study found that theta sequences extend further forward at choice points on a maze and suggested that these sequences may be partly under cognitive control. In this part of the thesis I present an analysis of theta sequences showing that there is diversity in theta sequences, with some sequences extending more forward and others beginning further backward. Furthermore, certain components of the environment are preferentially represented by theta sequences, suggesting that theta sequences may reflect the cognitive "chunking" of the animal's environment.
The third part of the thesis describes a computational model of the hippocampus which explores how synaptic learning due to neural activity during navigation (i.e., theta sequences) may enable the hippocampal network to produce forward, backward, and shortcut sequences during awake rest states (i.e., SWR sequences).

Second diary entry - now I know that I've got to write HTML.
I've had all sorts of fun with GNU software lately, but nonetheless I'm building the entire base system over and over. I've also uploaded a recent snapshot of MirBSD yesterday to the usual place, and would like to say thanks to every tester with positive and negative feedback *hint*.
Work is needed to run a build through all ports to see
whether they build or not, and for what reason they don't
build (missing C++ compiler // some other reason // unknown).
Even better: if they actually work.
What would be nice too? Well, I wouldn't start crying when some more people report ISDN working (for Fritz!Card PCI v1 I know), and if PLIP works, I'd be glad - it doesn't here, but I haven't checked with GNU/Linux yet if it does with my hardware anyways.
Oh, and port gcc 3.3.1...
My main development machine dies. It's an Acer Aspire 1300
notebook, Athlon-XP1400+, 256 MiB non-DDR SD-RAM, 18.62 GiB
HDD. I've set up my router (Pentium-100, 128 MiB EDO-DRAM,
10 Gig HDD, MirBSD, Hercules MONO graphics card, RTL8029
for the LAN, RTL8139 for DSL-Modem [sponsors anyone?]
because it's slower than the 10 Mbit card, 3.5"HD and 5.25"HD
floppy drives, and - since yesterday - an ahc(4) SCSI
controller with a 32x UltraPLEX CD-ROM drive) to be the main
cvs server for MirBSD, and use a 486DX/2-80 (12/110 MiB) laptop
to connect via xdm to it now, to read mails and so.
Currently, I can still use the Acer, but only with an external 14" CRT, and must not move it (else, its PSU dies). But the Acer support is sending me a person from UPS to fetch it for repairing (I'm allowed to remove the HDD first, thanks). It's still got service time.
I've also come up with a developement
plan for MirBSD, and decided to release a stable codebase
before the switch to gcc-3.2.4 (so I can go back if everything
is FUBAR in a sudden :).
If you want to join, install OpenBSD, get familiar with it, install MirBSD, play, join #deutsch on irc.eu.freenode.net, talk with me, send fixes.
I've had funny holidays near Luxembourg camping - but it's a pity the person who donated me the 486 laptop mentioned above was unreachable, so I couldn't meet him IRL. I'll probably go there more often - it's some 160 km, and gasoline is more than cheap there (about 30 ct. less - that's about one fourth of the price they want here).
Well, that's all for it. Whenever I get the kick to do some documentation, I start it, and it's all over in a sudden. If you want to update the MirBSD docs (mostly still pointing to OpenBSD) - send unified diffs! :-)

Dear Insurance Adviser,
I've had my current home insurance policy since 2011, and now the insurance company says it has to do an "interior survey" of my home. We've never needed a home insurance inspection before.I live in Wisconsin, my home was built in 1950, and I've always had homeowners insurance. No one in my family has ever heard of this type of survey. Is it something new?
-- Jay
Dear Insurance Adviser,
I've had my current home insurance policy since 2011, and now the insurance company says it has to do an "interior survey" of my home. We've never needed a home insurance inspection before.
I live in Wisconsin, my home was built in 1950, and I've always had homeowners insurance. No one in my family has ever heard of this type of survey. Is it something new?
-- Jay
Dear Jay,
Yes, the on-site home insurance inspection (also called a survey or appraisal) is something new.
Home insurance policies are designed so the coverage could potentially replace a home with a new one, and that's true even with a 63-year-old home like yours. The only requirement is that you must insure your home for its "full replacement cost." If you miss that mark and insure your house for less than what a replacement would cost, you won't have enough to rebuild in the event of a total loss and could be subject to depreciation penalties on partial losses.
Who determines what that replacement cost amount should be? Traditionally, an agent of the insurance company has used a computer program that factored in the type of structure, the square footage of each level, the number of bathrooms, the sizes of porches and decks, etc. That could be done relatively easily without a detailed interior inspection. However, after major storms, insurance companies have been discovering that people were buying coverage that was often way below today's replacement costs.
The need became apparent for a more accurate appraisal system, requiring on-site inspections and qualified appraisers. The cost of appraisals went up, but the accuracy improved. So yes, you will need to cooperate with your insurance company, and the home insurance inspection may be a bit of an inconvenience. But the good news is that the final appraised amount will be much more accurate.
With a 63-year-old home, be sure to request "a home replacement guarantee" that would pay at least 25 percent more than the home insurance amount in case of increased construction costs due to any supply and demand problems following a major storm that destroys or seriously damages multiple homes and has homeowners all wanting to be rebuilt at the same time.
All the best!

First Iran exiles leave Ashraf camp in Iraq
About 400 Iranian exiles have been transferred from their long-held camp in north-western Iraq.
They are members of the People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI) , based at Camp Ashraf since the 1980s.
It is the first step of a process that aims to see the entire 3,400-strong community expelled from Iraq.
But members of this advance party are complaining bitterly that their treatment has fallen far short of that promised by the UN and US.
The exiles, who are opposed to Iran's Shia clerical rulers, were welcomed by former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein but have fallen out of favour with Iraq's new Shia-dominated leadership.
Relations with the Iraqi government deteriorated still further last April, when an Iraqi army raid on the camp left 34 residents dead, according to the UN.
At first, they refused to countenance leaving Camp Ashraf, but the UN has been trying to broker a compromise. In December the group's Paris-based head Maryam Rajavi agreed that a first contingent of 400 would move in what she called a "goodwill gesture".
The Iraqi government has extended a deadline for the camp to be shut down to the end of April.
On Saturday, the first group arrived at Camp Liberty near Baghdad, but complained that they had been searched for almost an entire day before they were allowed to leave Ashraf, and had been searched again on arrival at Camp Liberty. (Click HERE for article)

Straps become wider in larger sizes and the width of the back increases to prevent "cutting in" on shoulders and back. Basic bra models are smoothly tailored and intentionally designed without decorative elements. Exclusive bra models are finished with high quality lace or embroidery.

Garment Care:
Garments with hook and eye closures or Velcro fasteners should be closed prior to washing in order to avoid damage to lace and embroidery.
Important: The use of a mild detergent without optical color brighteners keeps the whites white for longer. The brighteners can leave a deposit on the fabric which can turn them gray. Do not use fabric softener as traces will remain in the fabric and can cause skin irritations and allergies. The hold of the garment would also be affected, leading to a lessening of its support and shape-forming characteristics.

Morning Briefing: Czech Government Fights for Survival
- Local/GMT
- N/A Polish central bank rate decision
- N/A Czech parliament debating key bills
- N/A Hungary govt mulls taking over municipal debt
- 1000/0900 Czech foreign exchange reserve levels
- 1200/1100 Czech finance ministry auctions 3-, 11-yr bonds
- 1200/1100 EU economic forecasts on bloc's economies
- 1600/1500 Hungary October budget balance
Czech political negotiations again take center stage Wednesday as the embattled right-leaning government fights for survival, while in neighboring Hungary the central government is considering taking over the debts of local municipalities.
Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas Wednesday will have to defend in parliament his plan to raise the two existing value-added-tax rates by one percentage point to 15% and 21%, respectively, and to set a temporary 7% tax surcharge valid for one year on incomes above 100,000 koruna ($5,060) a month.
If opposition to the plans remains firm, Mr. Necas may have to water down some of his plans to win the confidence vote, directly tied to the tax bill. The vote can come Wednesday or later this week.
Mr. Necas' cabinet has faced and survived six no-confidence votes since taking office in 2010.
Hungary's government is set to discuss a plan to take over local government debt worth 2% of the country's gross domestic product or 612 billion forints ($2.8 billion).
Local governments have amassed some HUF1.2 trillion in debts over the past decade, with many of them on the verge of bankruptcy.
The government in Budapest has already taken steps to consolidate local debts by assuming state control of schools and hospitals.
Poland's central bank is widely expected Wednesday to kick off a long-awaited cycle of monetary easing that could lower interest rates by 1 percentage point as it takes action to try to revive a slowing economy, according to economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires.
POLAND: Russia's OAO Gazprom bowed to pressure from Polish utilityPGNiG SA Tuesday to cut the price of its natural-gas deliveries by more than 10%, a move the company said was an acknowledgment of changing European market conditions, but wasn't a fundamental shift away from its preferred way of pricing gas exports.
Poland's energy regulator will quickly approve a reduction in Poland's regulated gas prices, once it receives a price application from PGNiG, the chief of the government agency, known as URE, said Tuesday.
CZECH REPUBLIC: A group of Czech rebel lawmakers said Tuesday they dropped their opposition to a tax-hike bill sought by the conservative government, raising hopes for Prime Minister Petr Necas to pass a parliamentary confidence vote due Wednesday.
HUNGARY: The European Union's top court ruled Tuesday that Hungary's decision to drastically lower the retirement age of judges, prosecutors and notaries broke EU antidiscrimination laws, handing a victory to the bloc's executive in its multi-front battle with Budapest.
ROMANIA: Romanian lender BRD-Groupe Societe Generale SA said Tuesday its net profit fell 97.7% on the year to 10.38 million lei ($2.94 million) in the first nine months of 2012, hurt by higher provisions.
