Q: What are the advantages of HD radio – why have you added it?
A: HD Radio offers an improved signal quality that is less susceptible to noise and interference. The qualitative improvements have been described as bringing "CD quality to FM, and FM quality to AM".
While that improved quality is nice, the opportunity for multicasting is the real motivation for us to go digital. We cannot afford to buy another radio station to broadcast additional programming, but HD Radio allows us the equivalent of two or more radio stations on our existing frequency. It's this "3 stations in 1? concept that interested us in digital from the beginning.
Q: What will I need to listen to the HD Radio signal?
A: A new digital radio receiver. Your current analog radio will not receive the newer digital signal. It is also highly recommended that an external antenna be used to receive the HD Radio signal indoors. Our digital signal is broadcast at only about 10% the power of our main analog signal, so it is much weaker and doesn't penetrate buildings as well. The range of our digital signal is also smaller, but we have had many listeners report success in receiving our digital signal in Levelland and Lake Ransom Canyon!
There is a proposal pending before the FCC that would allow all digital stations to increase their power. This would greatly help the reception of digital signals. The proposal has not gained final approval yet however.
Q: Where can I get a new digital receiver and how much will one cost?
A: Since KTTZ-FM is the only digital radio station in Lubbock so far, there isn't much demand, thus no local retailers are currently offering them (that we are aware of). Digital radios are readily available in larger markets like Dallas and Houston, but not yet here in Lubbock. The best place to find one is via the Internet. A Google search for HD Radio yields several online retailers that carry them. The price varies by functionality of the reciever, but prices anywhere from $150 to $300 are typical. As demand grows and supply increases, expect prices to drop in a manner similar to other media technologies like VCRs and CD players. Newer radio models will also incorporate the latest and improved features the technology has to offer. iBiquity, the company that created HD Radio, and several of the digital radio manufacturers, offer rebates from time to time as an incentive to purchase a new HD Radio.
Q: What will I hear on KTTZ-FM's HD Radio signal?
A: The first digital channel, HD1, is a simulcast of what is currently on our analog signal. This is an FCC requirement. The second and third digital channels, HD2 & HD3, can have anything we want on them.
Our HD2 channel currently broadcasts NPR talk programming, with shows like The Diane Rehm Show, Fresh Air, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and many others. The BBC World Service is broadcast during the overnights. A schedule of our HD2 programming is available on the HD2 page.
Our HD3 channel is still in what we call "test" mode- there isn't anything scheduled for broadcast there. Right now HD3 is basically a "hodge-podge" of whatever happens to be playing in the CD player at the time. When we do get around to swapping out the CD, you can see what's playing on our HD3 page. We're also looking for suggestions as to what could go there, so be sure to tell Clint Barrick, our program director, what you would like to see added to the digital channels.
Q: HD1? HD2? How many signals will there be on 89.1?
A: Currently there are 3 multicast streams running on KTTZ-FM, with the potential for up to a total of 4 simultaneous signals all sharing the same frequency:
Analog – this is the main signal currently on KTTZ-FM with no plans to discontinue it anytime in the next several years. With 99.99999% of our audience listening to this signal, we're not likely to turn it off anytime soon. When might we? In a few decades would be my guess.
HD1 – this is the DIGITAL simulcast of the analog signal. It's just a digital version of what we already broadcast. It is ALWAYS a simulcast of our main analog signal- this is an FCC requirement.
HD2 – this is a completely separate stand-alone digital channel, offering Talk and News programming. Think of this as "KTTZ-FM 2?.
HD3 – this is also a completely separate stand-alone digital channel. No idea what will be on it yet. Think of this as "KTTZ-FM 3?. There is no scheduled programming currently being broadcast on HD3, but you might hear something there occasionally- again this is mainly us testing things as we work the bugs out, until we have a set schedule of programming to put there. Your HD Radio may or may not receive HD3 depending on whether or not we have it active.
HD4 – So far this is just a rumor to stations offering multicasting and not likely something we'll be able to offer without some major reconfiguring of things. HD4 may not be possible with the current generation of HD Radios being sold.
Q: What does the HD in HD Radio stand for? High Definition?
A: The HD in HD Radio doesn't stand for anything, at least that's according to the manufacturer of the technology behind it, iBiquity. It's a slick marketing ploy that capitalizes upon the HD TV label, but a completely different technology. What would "high-def" radio sound like anyway? There's also some evidence to suggest that HD stands for Hybrid Digital, but unless you care for a long-winded explanation about communications theory, bit and packets, diversity delays and other facets of the EE discipline, that will have to suffice.
Q: How much is an HD Radio subscription?
A: ZERO. There ISN'T a subscription required for HD Radio like there is for the satellite services XM and Sirius. The only thing you pay for is the receiver, and like any other radio, once you have that, the programming you hear on it is free (or worth whatever you donate in support of Public Radio!). PLEASE NOTE- this does not mean the programming on HD2 & 3 is free for KTTZ-FM! We are being offered the digital programming at a greatly reduced rate from the networks, but it is NOT free. The cost for these programs is IN ADDITION to the usual shows we carry on our main analog channel. So we will indeed be asking for your financial help in paying the programming bill for ALL of the programs broadcast on KTTZ-FM, including the ones on the digital channels.
Q; Is there any way to listen to the HD2 channel without an HD Radio receiver?
A: Yes. You can listen to our HD2 channel as an Internet webstream. Click on the "Listen Now" tab at the top of the main page and you will see the links to our webstreams.
Q: Are there any battery-powered HD Radio receivers available?
A: Not yet, but they are currently in development. The microchip processor at the heart of the receiver consumes a great deal of power to do its job, which means the chipsets in today's radios require a wall plug, or your car's battery if it's a dashtop unit. R&D is currently underway on a battery-operated/portable radio that will be available in the near future.
Q: Will my HD Radio only work in Lubbock?
A: No! It will work elsewhere too. It will receive HD Radio signals whenever they are in range. Your radio will work in Dallas, Houston, New York or wherever HD Radio signals are broadcast. (But NOT Europe- they use a completely different digital radio technology!)
Q; Will my HD Radio work with other stations? Will it still receive analog?
A: Yes, your HD Radio will receive other stations. Once other Lubbock radio stations transition to digital (and there are rumors some will in the next few years), your radio will receive their digital signals too. And yes, it will still receive analog stations just like any other AM/FM radio.
Q: Where can I find more information online?
A: There's lots of websites:
HD Radio – the official website.
iBiquity – this is the company behind the IBOC technology that makes HD Radio possible.
NPR Labs offers recommendations on radios they've tested and also offers suggestions on improved antenna performance. They have HD Radio recommendations from November of 2006 (a PDF file) and also more recent recommendations from May of 2007 (also a PDF).

Great fit, great material
By shoeshopper
from Victoria, BC
This is my third pair of DG jeans and I just love the fit, and the look. I purchased the matching jacket and it looks fabulous with the jeans. These pieces can be worn with other jeans / jackets as well. I have washed the jeans and the color did not fade. Very happy with both pieces.

Fits great
By lovetoshop
from Ottawa, ON
I got this jean, and matched it with the "chic" jacket as a two-piece, but it can be worn separately as well. Wore it recently, and received many compliments. It's very unusual so be prepared to be asked "where did you get that from"? Very versatile piece, and I know I'll be wearing it a lot over time. Thanks to DG for making me feel "preppy".

Yes exactly,
at the bottom of the page where everyone is by default in chat. It immediately caught on and was very engaging. Different subjects where popping up where you could sit around and watch an interesting conversation and chime in every once in a while. People were learning about Austrian economics and having debates about the business cycle. People where learning how to become a delegate. You could easily see all the people on the DP and where they were from. You had a wonderful atmosphere of the "DP community"
If it is set up where you have to go to a different chat room to communicate much information exchange will be lost because we are accustomed too and want to browse while we have the option to chat (like facebook) if you could set it up where chat never leaves the window and doesn't refresh with the page it would be even better!
Thanks Jon!

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A temporary occupancy permit has been granted for the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro after a final inspection on Tuesday morning.
Building Codes Director David Jones in Rutherford County said Tuesday that he issued a temporary occupancy permit to the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro after inspectors approved the building.
Mosque leaders hope to hold evening prayers at the building as early as Friday.
The temporary permit runs until mid-October, allowing the contractors time to finish the landscaping and some other last tasks.
Opponents have spent two years trying to halt construction of the mosque for the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.
Construction was nearly shut down after a Rutherford County judge ruled in May that the meeting where mosque construction was approved was not sufficiently advertised to the public.
Last month, federal prosecutors stepped in to protect the religious liberty of mosque members. A federal judge ruled in their favor, allowing construction and permitting to move ahead.
The 12,000-square-foot mosque will replace a smaller one that's been used for 30 years.
Opposition to the new mosque has included a lawsuit, a large rally, vandalism, arson and a bomb threat.
Recently, members of Grace Baptist Church put up several white crosses along Bradyville Pike, alongside the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.
They said the crosses are a statement of their Christian faith and their feelings towards the new mosque. Officials for the Islamic Center said they aren't upset, and believe they must love their neighbors.

Johns Creek High School baseball coach Billy Nicholson was named the North Fulton-Forsyth Touchdown Club's Male Coach of the Year on June 27 at the Eggs and Enterprise Breakfast.
Eric Douglas of the North Fulton-Forsyth TD Club said the group spent the past school year honoring student athletes for their athletic performances on the field, and also academic and civic involvement. Wednesday was time to honor the Male Sports Coach of the Year "who has dedicated his life to his sport, his students and his athletes."
Roger Wise of the University of Phoenix and a North Fulton-Forsyth TD Club board member, also arranged for Ga. Secretary of State Brian Kemp to give Nicolson recognition during the breakfast meeting at .
Johns Creek High's varsity baseball team got its start just three years ago, Douglas said, going 18-10 in its inaugural season and winning the Ga. Dugout Club Championship. In 2010-2011, the first year the team was in region play, it narrowly missed a spot in the playoffs on a tiebreaker. But in the past year, Johns Creek went 27-8, was the Region 7 AAAA champion and made it to the semifinals in state AAAA championship play.
Nicholson was named Region Coach of the Year, and Atlanta Braves Fan Club Coach of the Year as well.
In addition to being a coach for baseball and girls softball, he's an assistant athletic director at the school and serves as IT liaison for the Healthy and Physical Education Department at the school. He volunteers with Relay for Life and spends his summer working with minor league clubs, teaching hitting and other skills.
Nicholson wasn't the only person honored at the breakfast meeting. Douglas said two years ago when he was approached to start the North Fulton-Forsyth TD Club, "we really started with an idea."
When organizers walked into the office of Freda Hardage of Northside Hospital, she not only promised support, she delivered with a check Douglas said they didn't ask for in the meeting.
So they honored her with a football jersey from the club's Chamber All Stars game.

Alor Archipelago
Alor Archipelago is an island group in Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
- Kalabahi — the only town in the archipelago, on Alor Island
Other destinations[edit]
Previously well and truly off-the-beaten-path, more and more adventurous travelers are discovering the delights of this remote island group.
The key attractions are water-based, with world-class diving and fishing leading the way.
The archipelago consists of the following main islands:
- Alor - the largest island in the archipelago which is located at its eastern end. The vast majority of the infrastructure of the archipelago is either based here or run from here.
- Pantar
- Kepa
- Buaya
- Ternate (Alor) (not to be confused with Ternate in Maluku)
- Pura
- Tereweng
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Kalabahi airport on Alor Island has daily flights to and from Kupang in West Timor on TransNusa Air Services [1]. A one way ticket costs about Rp 500,000 and the journey takes 45-50 minutes.
By boat[edit]
The Indonesian national ferry carrier Pelni [2] serves Kalabahi from many points in eastern Indonesia. Two ferries have schedules stopping here: MV Awu [3] and KM Sirimau [4]. The distances involved are huge, so be prepared for long journeys and frequent delays.
Get around[edit]
Beachcombing: Mali beach, Maimol beach and Batu Putih beach for a relaxed swimming. You can as well visit Sebanjar beach to snorkel.
Diving : Comet Bay, Pearl Garden, Kepa Island and Sea Garden along Ternate island, Pura island and Pantar strait will be great spots for experienced diver because the under water current is strong. Drift diving is also suggested.
See traditional houses and people custom in Takpala village about 45 minutes from Kalabahi by car/motorbike. They will show you their custom, clothes, and houses as well their traditional dances.
See natural hot spring in Tutti near Bukapiting sub district. The natural heat from the ground turn the water warm to hot and create the hot spring river.
Mt. Sirung[edit]
Mt. Sirung (or Gunung Sirung in Indonesian) (862 m) is one of the less visited volcanoes of Indonesia, but one of the most fascinating. It is the second youngest (see footnote) and north-easternmost of a chain of volcanoes extending from the south-western tip of Pantar Island north-east to Beang Bay. The volcanic chain is about 14 kilometres long. Mt. Sirung is the only active volcano of the range. The latest eruptions occurred in the years 2012, 2004, and 1934. Mt. Sirung is a lava dome truncated on its eastern side by a 2-km-wide caldera. The other, older volcanoes are overgrown with vegetation. So is Gunung Delaki (1,372 m), the highest mountain of the range and of Pantar Island, located south-west of Mt. Sirung.
The hike from Beang up to the crater rim is an easy 4 or 6 hours' walk-up (the time depends on the route), mostly through beautiful eucalypt savanna. From the crater rim to the top, it is another 2 to 3 hours' climb in pathless terrain.
From Beang, there are two routes to the crater of Mt. Sirung: one via Darang/Howang (Route 1), and one via Kakamauta (Route 2).
Route 1: Starting from Beang, take the trail heading south to the tiny village of Darang, where you will arrive in about 45 minutes. In Darang, the houses still have grass-thatched roofs. From Darang, a trail leads up the steep eastern slope of the volcano to the crater rim. Walking time is 3 hours. From where you arrive at the rim, you can head north-west, around the north-eastern side of the crater, to the canyon where the trail from Kaukamauta comes up.
Route 2: Starting from Beang, take the trail leading uphill to the village of Kakamauta. The trailhead is just behind the houses in the centre of Beang. The path will give you a stunning view of Beang Bay and take you through savanna woodland with lontar palms and eucalyptus trees. Shortly before you arrive at Kakamauta, you will pass small cashew plantations. From Beang to Kakamauta, it is a 2.5 to 3 hours' hike. Where the path forks below an open, grassy slope about half way up, take the left branch.
Having arrived in Kakamauta, follow the main street through the village, passing the church and the mayor's office on your left, and the football ground on your right, until you get to a T-junction. Turn left and leave the village on the dirt road leading south-west. After about 15 minutes, branch off to the left (south) onto a narrow path leading through high grass. There is no signpost and the beginning of the path is hidden in the grass 1 to 2 metres above the road. You will find it near a couple of dried-up trees on your left.
Now follow the trail up to the crater of Mt. Sirung. It is an easy hike of another 1.5 to 2 hours. The first section will take you through eucalypt savanna. Then the vegetation diminishes owing to the rain of ash that fell on the upper slopes of the volcano during the eruptions of the past decades. Keep walking on the ridge above the canyon that leads to the crater rim. It is not dangerous in dry conditions. Finally, descend into the canyon and follow it upwards (the bottom of the canyon is almost even). Soon you will arrive at the huge crater.
Inside the crater there is a large sulphurous crater lake and several active steam vents. It is possible to descend into the crater, but you are not allowed to do so all the year round. The locals say you must not enter the crater from June to September, because, if you did, Mt. Sirung could erupt and destroy the cashew harvest. Similarly, you must not go down into the crater from December to April, because at that time of the year it would endanger the rice harvest. So you can do it in October, November and May only.
There is no trail to the summit of Mt. Sirung. In order to get to the summit (after visiting the crater), go back down through the canyon until you can climb the ridge on your left (to the west), and then work your way up on the tops of the ridges and in the ravines. It will take you another 1 to 2 hours. The route leading from the summit of Mt. Sirung to the summit of neighbouring Mt. Delaki is an easy one (2 to 3 hours). Locals go up there to hunt for deer with bow and arrow. From the top of Mt. Delaki you can go down to the village of Koliabang on the west coast of Pantar (3 to 4 hours), and then on to Puntaru, the village of the Pasir Tiga Warna ("The Sands of Three Colours").
About 5 kilometres north-west of Mt. Sirung, you can observe how a new volcano is "born" - the Koralau: on a small, featureless hill, a gas eruption occurred for the first time in February 2011, burned the grass in the surroundings, and created a small crater of only about 10 metres in diameter.
Try the grilled fish in Reklamasi food court that open in the evening. These fish are usually caught fresh by the local fishermen.
Try to buy the traditional cookies - Kue Rambut - that are sold in the traditional market and supermarket
You might want to eat jagung titi dan kenari (crushed corn flakes and canary bean) that also sold in the traditional market and supermarket. Try the jagung titi that are sold in Jonathan Bakery near the old market for a ready-to-eat snack.
Kaleso (a cooked rice cake) is also worth trying. Its plain taste can be accompanied by side dishes with grilled fish.

No. 18 Women's Lacrosse Begins Road Stretch at No. 8 Pennsylvania
March 18, 2008
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The No. 18 Penn State women's lacrosse team (2-3) will kick off a stretch of three consecutive road contests when it travels to Philadelphia for a 6 p.m. match-up with No. 8 Pennsylvania (4-1) on Wed., March 19 at the home of the Quakers, Franklin Field. For the Nittany Lions, the trip will be their second to Philadelphia this year after meeting Temple in the 2008 season opener, a narrow 8-7 loss.
Last weekend, playing its first game of the season on the newly renovated turf surface of Bigler Field, Penn State gave No. 4 Princeton all it could handle before suffering a rough 7-6 defeat. Sophomore attacker Theresa Bucci (Hudson, Ohio) led the team with two points but six different Nittany Lions netted goals. Senior goalkeeper Jess Boccio (Northport, N.Y.) had a career game, keeping Penn State in the game when its attack faltered. She recorded nine saves against 20 Princeton shots. Boccio currently ranks first in the ALC in save percentage (49.3%) and 18th in the nation in goals against average (8.51).
In its last outing, Pennsylvania used a suffocating defensive effort to gain a 10-4 win over Yale in its Ivy League opener. The Quakers started the season 2-0 by claiming one-goal victories in road match-ups with Drexel (6-5) and North Carolina (8-7). Penn was then dealt its first loss of 2008 on a west coast road swing, falling to Stanford, 10-8, before completing the trip with a 12-7 win over Cal. Seniors Rachel Manson and Melissa Lehman and sophomore Ali DeLuca team to headline the Quaker attack. They have combined for 25 goals and nine assists. IWLCA First Team All-Americans Hilary Renna and goalkeeper Sarah Waxman lead the Penn defense. Waxman boasts a 6.60 goals against average and a 47.6% save percentage.
Penn State will be looking to avenge its toughest loss of the 2007 season, a 16-5 setback at Jeffrey Field in early April, when it takes to the field versus the Quakers on Sunday. That defeat was just the Nittany Lions' fourth in 13 all-time meetings with Penn. The Lions are 2-3 versus the Quakers under head coach Suzanne Isidor.
Fans can follow all of the action of the Penn State-Pennsylvania intrastate battle on the Internet with live stats and instant scoring updates. Click on the "gametrack PSU" link on the official website of Nittany Lion athletics, www.GoPSUsports.com, to gain access.
The Nittany Lions will journey outside of the state of Pennsylvania for the first time in 2008 this weekend when they head south to Nashville, Tenn. for their ALC opener versus No. 20 Vanderbilt on Sun., March 23. Game time is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET at the Commodores' home field, the Vanderbilt Soccer/Lacrosse Complex.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Foreign National Pleads Guilty
A man who was indicted along with twenty-five other individuals and charged with being a member of a large cocaine distribution organization, has pled guilty, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced today. Saul Ruelas- Valdovinos, 35, a citizen of Mexico, who is currently in the United States illegally, and most recently resided in Chicago, Illinois, entered a plea of guilty on February 2, 2012, to Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with the Intent to Distribute Cocaine. Ruelas-Valdovinos also admitted the forfeiture allegation contained in the indictment. In addition, the United States advised Ruelas-Valdovinos that it would seek the entry of a Judicial Order of Removal at the time of sentencing, which would require him to be deported from the United States following his release from prison.
Ruelas-Valdovinos is currently scheduled to be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. on May 31, 2012, in United States District Court in East St. Louis. At that time, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years imprisonment to a possible maximum penalty of imprisonment for life, a fine of not more than $10,005,000, and a term of supervised release of at least 5 years. Ruelas-Valdovinos will also be required to pay a mandatory special assessment of $100.
Twenty-five co-conspirators with Ruelas-Valdovinos have also entered pleas of guilty. One other individual who was charged in the same indictment as Ruelas-Valdovinos is currently awaiting trial, which is scheduled to begin on March 12, 2012. He is presumed to be innocent of all charges and is entitled to a fair trial at which the Government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Evidence in support of the indictment was obtained in an investigation which was conducted under the auspices of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). The OCDETF initiative is designed to bring federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and resources together to identify, target and dismantle large national and international drug trafficking organizations. Participating agencies include the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigations, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of Homeland Security Investigations (ICE HSI), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), U.S. Marshal Service, the Granite City Police Department, Fairmont City Police Department, Collinsville Police Department, Fairview Heights Police Department, Caseyville Police Department, Pontoon Beach Police Department, Park Hills (Missouri) Police Department, the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department, and the Illinois State Police. This case is assigned to Assistant United States Attorney Randy G. Massey.

Council 'disappointed' by squatters' plans to appeal (From Times Series)

Barnet Council 'disappointed' by Friern Barnet Library squatters' plans to appeal eviction
5:39pm Friday 4th January 2013 in News By Chris Hewett
Barnet Council has threatened to pursue full legal costs from the Friern Barnet Library squatters should they lodge an unsuccessful appeal against their impending eviction.
The occupiers this morning announced their intention to fight the possession order granted to Barnet Council last month - a decision that has angered council officials.
The authority had earlier postponed the group's eviction until January 31 to allow discussions over granting the library's supporters, comprising a number of community groups, a formal licence to run the building.
The council decided not to pursue legal costs from the defendants who contested the council's initial application for a possession order, but says no such generosity will be shown if they are dragged through the courts again.
Libraries portfolio holder Councillor Robert Rams said he was "disappointed" in the group's decision to appeal given the council's "generosity" in agreeing to hold talks.
He said: "We will happily talk to the real members of the local community but the squatters must leave the building.
"It is disappointing that they are appealing, which will waste even more taxpayers' money - money which could be invested in front-line services.
"I'm not surprised by the appeal but we have been very generous in terms of agreeing to talk with them."
Despite the possibility of going back to court, Councillor Rams said the council is still prepared to negotiate a licence with a five-person panel put forward by the occupiers last night.
He said: "I will talk to any group that are properly constituted and meet any relevant legislation but if any group is associated with the squatters they need to tell them to get out so we can have unbiased discussions with any community bids."

The traditional slime recipe calls for glue and borax, but you can make slime without borax, too! Here are some easy borax-free slime recipes:
Borax-Free Slime Recipe #1You may see this slime called "goo". This is non-toxic slime that flows when you pour it or set it down, but stiffens if you punch it or squeeze it.
- 1/2 cup liquid starch
- 1 cup white glue
- food coloring
- Mix together the liquid starch and glue.
- Add food coloring if you want colored slime.
Borax-Free Slime Recipe #2
- 1-1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1-1/2 cups water
- food coloring
- In a saucepan, mix together the cornstarch, 3/4 cup of water and the food coloring.
- Heat the mixture over low heat until it is warm.
- Stir in the flour, a little at a time, until all of it has been added.
- Stir in the remaining water. Remove the slime from the heat and allow it to cool before playing with it.
Borax-Free Slime Recipe #3
- 2 cups cornstarch
- 1 cup warm water
- food coloring
- Stir the cornstarch into the warm water, a little at a time until all of the starch has been added. The reason for using warm water instead of room temperature water is because this makes it easier to mix the slime without getting any clumps. You can add a little more starch if you want a thicker slime. Add a small amount of water if you want a runnier slime. Also, the consistency of the slime is affected by temperature. Warm slime will flow more readily than cool or refrigerated slime.
- Add food coloring to achieve the desired color.
Borax-Free Slime Recipe #4This slime is electroactive. If you take a small piece of polystyrene foam (e.g., Styrofoam) and rub it on dry hair or a cat, you can put it near the slime and watch the material edge toward the foam or even break off and stick to it.
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- Mix together the ingredients and refrigerate the slime.
- When you are ready to play with the slime, stir the ingredients together (separation is normal) and have fun! The slime will be thick when it is fresh from the refrigerator, but will flow more readily as it warms up. You can use temperature to control the consistency of the slime or you can add a bit more cornstsrch for thicker slime or a small amount of additional oil for thinner borax-free slime.

Security and Defense: Taking a 'bridge loan'
By YAAKOV KATZ
02/23/2012 22:48
Most security officials agree the IDF can hit Iran's nuclear program. But how close is Israel to attacking?

Due to its proximity to the northern border, Ramat David will be a prime target for Hezbollah and Syria in a future war. For that reason the base has put a strong emphasis over the past year on "operational continuity," a new IDF concept aimed at ensuring that during a future war, planes will be able to take-off, land to refuel and rearm, and take-off again.
The base's trademark, however, is the F-16 fighter jets that are parked in its hangers and whose job it is to protect Israel from threats originating in the North. Every day or so, the jets are scrambled to intercept incoming civilian aircraft that fail to respond to Israel's air traffic control and raise concern of a potential 9/11-like attack.
In July 1980, Israel received its first batch of four F-16s, which were flown to Ramat David by American pilots.
The delivery of the planes was somewhat of a fluke since they had originally been intended for delivery to Iran.
But in late 1979, then-US secretary of defense Harold Brown came to Israel and offered his counterpart Ezer Weizman the opportunity to purchase the jets, since they could not longer be supplied to Iran following the Islamic revolution. Israel immediately agreed and later used the planes in Operation Opera, the bombing in 1981 of the Osirak reactor in Iraq.
"At least we gained something from the Islamic revolution in Iran," a senior IAF officer recently said in jest.
In 2007, Ramat David again played a key role in the bombing of the second nuclear reactor destroyed by Israel.
According to a report in Der Spiegel, the planes which bombed the al-Kibar nuclear facility in northwest Syria also took off from there.
While the IAF still has some of the old-model F-16s it received from the US in the early 1980s, it has spent the past 15 years upgrading its fleet, the backbone of which consists today of the F-16I known as the "Sufa" (Storm) and the F-15I known as the "Ra'am" (Thunder). Israel has a total of 101 F16Is and 25 F15Is.
If and when Israel attacks Iran's nuclear facilities it will be looking to cause a storm with a lot of thunder.
Ramat David's location in the North could make it the base the IAF would choose to use in the event that Israel attacks Iran, enabling it to conserve fuel for a mission during which every drop will count.
ULTIMATELY, THERE are three major questions Israeli military planners need to ask themselves before embarking on such an operation.
Firstly, can IAF F-15s and F-16s fly to where they need to go with the appropriate munitions? Secondly, will they be able to overcome Iran's air force and air defense systems? And thirdly, will they be able to penetrate the facilities, some of which – like Fordow and Natanz – have been built deep underground? This is why, when it comes to the viability of Israel's military option, the answer depends on who you ask.
Either way, the general assessment within the IDF and shared by the three recent chiefs of staff – Dan Halutz, Gabi Ashkenazi and Benny Gantz – is that Israel has the ability to knock out some of Iran's key facilities. However, they agree that the extent of the damage would set the Iranian nuclear program back by only a few years, rather than completely destroying it. For this reason, one IDF general has termed such an attack a "bridge loan," in reference to the short-term bank loan homebuyers use to tide them over until they can secure permanent financing.
This is primarily because Iran has already mastered the technology. Even if Israel causes significant damage to a number of key facilities in the nuclear production line, it is just a matter of time before Iran makes the necessary repairs and has the facilities up and running again.
In 2006, Moshe Ya'alon, who had just stepped down as IDF chief of staff and was mulling an entry into politics, gave a lecture at the Hudson Institute in Washington, and provided crucial insight into how the IDF viewed such an operation.
Firstly, Ya'alon said, Israel would need to attack a few dozen sites.
Secondly, the strikes would need to be "precise, like a targeted killing" – in reference to the IAF's expertise in striking terrorists with precise munitions in the crowded streets of the Gaza Strip.
Thirdly, Israel would have to "disrupt" Iran's air-defense systems and could use other capabilities to do so, not just aircraft, Ya'alon said without elaborating. The assumption was that he was referring to Israel's electronic warfare capabilities, rumored to have been used successfully when IAF jets infiltrated Syria in 2007 to bomb the country's nuclear reactor.
Ultimately, Ya'alon concluded, such a strike would be difficult but feasible.
Ya'alon holds by this assessment today even though some six years have passed since the Hudson lecture.
While Defense Minister Ehud Barak has argued that just nine months or so are left for Israel to stop Iran – before it moves into the so-called "immunity zone," following which a strike would no longer be effective – Ya'alon has argued that this is not the case.
"Anything built by man can be destroyed by man," he said earlier this month, stressing that as a former chief of staff he knew what he was talking about.
What is certain is that Iran has learned the lessons from Iraq and Syria.
Instead of keeping all of its eggs in one basket, it has scattered its nuclear facilities throughout the country, some of them in eastern Iran, making the attack mission even more difficult for Israeli aircraft.
Military planners would also likely feel compelled to attack Iran's centrifuge fabrication sites, since their destruction would make it extremely difficult for Iran to reestablish its program – although the destruction of Natanz, Arak, Isfahan and Fordow on their own would be enough to set back the Ayatollah's dream of obtaining the bomb. Other targets would likely include Iran's ballistic missiles and launchers.
While the operation would be done mostly by air, Israel could, according to foreign reports, also potentially utilize its Jericho roadmobile, two-stage solid-propellant missile, which has ranges varying from around 1,900 to over 4,800 kilometers and is capable of carrying a one-ton conventional or non-conventional warhead. The latest version of the missile – called Jericho III and tested in early 2008 – has enhanced accuracy and puts every Arab capital, including Tehran, within striking distance of Israel.
Israel also has three Dolphin-class German-made submarines, which according to foreign news reports, can carry cruise missiles capable of delivering a large warhead to ranges of over 100 km. Some reports suggest that the subs might be capable of carrying nuclear-armed Popeye Turbo cruise missiles, granting Israel second-strike capabilities.
But the question ultimately comes down to how close Israel really is to attacking Iran. Judging by the events that preceded the strike against the Syrian reactor in 2007, it is highly likely that the meeting on March 5 between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama will be critical for Israel as it nears a final decision.
What the two leaders say to one another in the Oval Office will have an impact not only on what decision Netanyahu makes but also what happens the day after he makes that decision.
If, for example, Israel decides to attack, Netanyahu will need to ensure that he can depend on US support – diplomatic and military – in the aftermath. If Israel decides not to attack, Netanyahu will need to walk away from the meeting with a commitment that Obama will stop Iran at all costs, even with military force.

The company started with the HeadBlade Razor in the late nineties and has since introduced a full suite of products just for head shavers. The company has created a nice suite of products to fill every need a bald guy could think of. Take a look at my full reveiw of Headblade Products.
Matte for Men
The company offers two products, Antioxidant Shave Gel and Complete Head Care Lotion. The Antioxident Shave Gel is a departure from the normal shaving creams in that it's a gel with no lathering agents. The product provides very good lubrication and is ideal for detailed shaving around facial hair. The Complete Head Care Lotion absorbs well, has a matte finish, and offers an SPF of 25. This is a good all around product to moisturize and protect the face and head.
Sharps Bald Head Balm
This Bald Head Balm feels really good on the skin. It's a bit heavy, but not greasy and has very nice moisturizing properties. I love that it has an SPF factor of 15, so you get the added protection of a sunscreen. I wish it were in a tube, rather than a jar, but that's the only fault I can find with this otherwise great product.
Destination Nation New England Scalp Wash
While I'm not exactly sure how they came up with the New England connection (all their products have a location in the name), I can say that I do like this Scalp Wash. It does a fine job of cleansing the scalp and has a nice, fresh smell. Who would have thought someone would create a shampoo for bald guys?
I do so many reviews and articles on men's hairstyling products, I felt obligated to give the guys with no hair a little more product information. Just because you're bald, doesn't mean you don't need good product, right?

MANKATO — The Greater Mankato Rotary Club announced today it plans to donate $100,000 over five years to the Southern Minnesota Children's Museum, as well as 10,000 hours of volunteer service valued at another $100,000.
Rotary's donation brings the total raised so far for the new facility at $2.5 million. When fundraising began for the project, the goal was roughly $4 million for a new facility. Since then plans have changed, and the museum is more likely to set up shop in garage facility owned by the city.
Peter Olson, director of the Southern Minnesota Children's Museum, said they're in talks with the city to iron out an agreement to locate at the site, but he said he anticipates work could begin this summer.
Greater Mankato Rotary Club President Jo Guck Bailey said the club, which recently pulled together two clubs to form one larger one, has been searching for a community project that matches the club's mission.
"It's one of the most talked about projects in the community," Bailey said.
Internally, Bailey said, they've referred to the museum partnership as the "Go Big" project.
According to a statement issued by the club, the cash portion of the agreement will include signage inside the museum's Multi-Purpose Community Room. Rotary members will have volunteer expectations. Olson said they could help out as play workers, help construct exhibits and organize fundraisers.

Beckham and beverages; getting started on the Week of all Things Beckham
Nov 24, 2012, 7:30 PM EDT
Let's get a head start on Week of all Things Beckham with a bit from the "Something Different" File.
(I'm positive that you know, but it's the Week of all Things Beckham because Saturday's appearance at MLS Cup 2012 will be the former England captain's curtain call in Major League Soccer. He's off to conquer new worlds.)
So the seven days ahead will surely examine Beckham from all angles. This site, plus all others in domestic soccer, will look at the man's impact on MLS, his days and nights with the Galaxy, the timing of his latest Brand Beckham move, etc., etc.
But will you see Beckham like this? It's a Beckham "drinking" retrospective, cobbled together by the smarty-pants at Free Beer Movement (which, ironically, is a soccer site.)
By the way, this is also a useful reminder of how powerful Beckham was / is as an endorsing tour de force. I mean, look at how many beverage products the guy pitched through the years.
Enjoy. (Hit the link above for the rest of the shots.)

I'm sure you've seen the felted rocks or stones around the Internet if you're into felting. I have tried them on different occasions using a wool batting and then needle felting over the batting. This Liz's tutorial shows you how to felt right over the stone. I did one over a shiny pebble and left one piece of it sticking out, something similar to a comfort and worry stone. This is a fun felting project for any of us. You can use different colors and mix it up with some different colored veining. Please check out Liz's blog and shop and tell her you found her on Craft Gossip Felting. Madeinlowell's Profile is a must read in her ETSY shop. Her other tutorial is on making wet felted beads. Thanks Liz!
