What is a publisher anymore, anyway? A blog is a magazine. A magazine a blog. A newspaper a WordPress install. A Twitter account a journalist.
With Kickstarter, people are preordering your idea. Sure, they're buying something tangible — a CD, a movie, a book, etc — but more than that, they're pledging money because they believe in you, the creator. If you take the time to extrapolate beyond the obvious low-hanging goals, you can use this money to push the idea — the project — somewhere farther reaching than initially envisaged. And all without giving up any ownership of the idea. This — micro-seed capital without relinquishment of ownership — is where the latent potential of Kickstarter funding lies.

- In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the ground beef for about 5 minutes, or until brown and crumbly. In a large soup pot over high heat, combine the ground beef, cabbage, celery, tomatoes, corn, mushrooms, water, barley, parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the carrots and potatoes and continue to simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are done to your liking. Serve with a warm loaf of bread and enjoy!

I always saute my vegatbles before adding to the soup - this makes a HUGE difference in the flavor(try it and you will agree). I fried the beef in a huge saucepan, removed from pan then sauted two onions and garlic (I don't know why this recipie doesn't have onions!) and the other vegetables. Then in the same sauce pan added all ingrediants, in the interest of conserving flavor and reducing dishes. Turned out great.
This is a very good soup! I did make a few changes, as suggested in some prior reviews. I added 2 onions, 1 more stalk of celery, garlic, Sherry, Liquid Smoke, beef bouillon, homemade vegatable stock, Italian seasoning, and fresh parsley (instead of dried). I sauteed 1 onion and 3 T. chopped garlic with the meat, drained off the fat, saving about 3 T. to saute the vegatables. Sauteed 2 stalks celery, cabbage, carrots and potatoes, another onion and added 3 T. of Liquid Smoke. While that was cooking, I added 1 c. Sherry, 4 T. beef bouillon granules, 1 T. Italian Seasoning, 1/2 c. fresh parsley, corn, barley, mushrooms, tomatoes, 6 c. homemade vegatable stock, water, salt & pepper to the hamburger mix. After vegatables were sauteed, I added everything together in one large pot. After this came to a boil, I let it simmer for 1 1/2 hours, while the bread finished rising and baking. Very flavorful this way and comforting.
This recipe is good, but a lot like one I already have. I wanted to do something with some barley I have, so I gave it a try. I agree with some other reviewers that the recipe is pretty bland, so I added an onion, some garlic, and a few beef bouillon cubes. I also left out the corn and mushrooms but added some zuchinni because I had some I wanted to use up. With these changes and some fresh rolls it was a very good meal!

In a city that has undergone a series of major crimes ranging from a string of armed robberies to kidnapping attempts to carjackings, residents of Candler Park and Lake Claire have largely been spared.
Compared with other Atlanta Police Department neighborhood beats, APD Beat 608, which includes Candler Park and Lake Claire, is among the safest in the neighborhoods comprising East Atlanta Patch.
Beat 608, which falls under APD Zone 6, ranks first in terms of safety concerning rapes and homicide and nearly impressive showings in other serious crimes, Officer Ryan Stephens told Candler Park residents Monday night at the neighborhood's monthly meeting.
Even a recent spate of mobile phone snatch-and-run thefts seems to be under control.
The one problem area: auto break-ins.
Though no neighborhood is immune to vehicle larcenies, break-ins are an acute problem in Candler Park and Lake Claire, with the Beat 608 ranking 10th out of 12 beats, Stephens said.
"We are failing horribly," he said, noting that in Beat 608, auto-break-ins are up 106 percent.
In all of Zone 6, which also includes Inman Park, Grant Park, East Atlanta and Cabbagetown, vehicle larcenies are up 23.61 percent.
Citywide, they increased 1.41 percent, APD figures show.
"We've never had as many break-ins as we've had now," Stephens said.
There is a pattern to the car break-ins, he said, explaining those who are committing the larcenies are traveling west, using the Freedom Park path and Freedom Parkway as their escape routes.
They then sell their ill-gotten gains — GPS devices and other items of value — for money, Stephens said.
He said additional personnel — thanks to more police overtime — should help put a dent in the break-ins and that the goal is to dramatically reduce Beat 608's vehicle larceny numbers.

Cranston, RI, September 8, 2006 - Taco, Inc. has issued an updated version of its Twin Tee pipe fitting brochure. The Taco Twin Tee is designed for use in Taco's single pipe LoadMatch® system but can also be used in conventional primary-secondary two pipe hydronic systems.
The new brochure contains new product graphics, information on new sizes and complete metric information.
Taco's Twin Tee comes in sweat, threaded and grooved models available in ductile iron and bronze construction.
The Twin Tee fitting is used with single pipe LoadMatch systems to connect terminal unit secondary piping circuits to their primary piping circuits. Use of the Twin Tee reduces installation and maintenance costs, as well as saves on space.
For a secondary circuit piping connection to a primary circuit, two Twin Tees and four field joints are required in the primary piping circuit. Use of Twin Tees reduces the number of fittings and primary circuit field joints by half, and saves on installation time. Along with a reduced number of field joints required, potential leak paths are also reduced, saving on operational maintenance.
To obtain a pdf copy of the new Twin Tee brochure, visit www.taco-hvac.com. Under the Products heading on the homepage, click on Systems and then on the LoadMatch System category - you will find the Twin Tee brochure under Catalogs.
Taco, Inc., located in Cranston, RI, is a leading developer and manufacturer of hydronic based products and systems, like LoadMatch®, for use in residential, commercial and institutional buildings worldwide.

(October 21, 2012) Venus Williams ended her title drought dating back to February 2010 by defeating Monica Niculescu 6-2, 6-3 on Sunday to win the Luxembourg Open.
It's Williams' 44th career WTA title, just one behind her sister Serena.
"Coming to the tournament this week I was just trying to play well, " Williams said. "I didn't know if I could win this event, so to stand here as the winner is a wonderful way for me to end the year, and it really makes me look forward to next year as well.
"My main goal coming here was to make the Top 32 and be seeded going into the Australian Open. I hope I'm somewhere in the Top 32 now. But wherever I end up, it's just very rewarding to win here after facing a lot of challenges."
For the 70th ranked Romanian, she lost both the singles and doubles finals on Sunday. It's the second straight year she's lost in the final of Luxembourg. "I'm a little bit disappointed to lose both finals, but to make two finals is unbelievable, she said. "Tomorrow I'm pretty sure I'm going to wake up relaxed and happy with what I accomplished."

Dr Toilet,
Congratulations on your being awarded a triple phd from kHar vard, Tevileh and Peshkel Universities. Thanks For discovering and sharing the role of a 1400 year old religions in modern life, as well as the realization that prophets of faiths knew less about the world 1400 years ago, than a 12 year old child knows now.
Zendanian – An injury to one is an injury to all.
Toiety Khan, perhaps sanctions have been good and a joke for you, outside of Iran ( increasing you purchasing power for all those goodies from inside Iran: from land speculation and purchase of a house to your next plane ticket for annual visit,...)
For people inside Iran it has been nothing but disastrous to say the least.
If you look an any and all INDEPENDENT economic analysis of Iranian economy (that means Press TV and other propaganda arms of IR do not qualify for objective analysis) they ALL point out to a %1.00 to %1.50 reduction of Iranian GDP for the next year (mainly due to a sharp drop in revenues of Oil export).
What is fascinating is that how both supporters of sanctions and supporters of the regime, both deny the everyday negative effects of sanctions on daily lives of Iranians, especially the poor and working class.
Perhaps both these camps (sanction supporters, and regime supporters) really don't give a hoot about Iranian people. In the final analysis Iranian people for both of them are mere instruments to achieve their goals.

Iael Kuperstein is on a mission to share her Israeli culture with people across the Midwest.
"You can bring a country, bring a culture without talking about politics," said Iael, 17. "This is an amazing experience — to be able to meet so many people and make connections that leave them knowing a little bit more about Israel."
Iael is one of 10 teens from Israel who performed a musical program, as part of The Israeli Scouts: Caravan Ariel, on Wednesday at the Shaw Jewish Community Center on White Pond Drive in Akron.
The troupe of 17-year-old teens (five girls and five boys) is traveling across the Midwest (with two adult leaders) this summer to share Israeli culture, music and dance. Since arriving in the United States on May 26, the group has also performed in New York, New Hampshire, Maine, Tennessee, Arkansas and Indiana.
Caravan Ariel is one of four groups of scouts (made up of 16- and 17-year-old teens) that are traveling across North America to represent Israel in a show of goodwill and friendship between the countries via performances at churches, schools, camps, community centers, synagogues, senior centers and hospitals.
All of the teens are part of Friends of Israel Scouts Inc.'s Tzofim Friendship Caravan. The scout program is akin to the Boy and Girl Scouts of America and is part of the World Organization for the Scout Movement. The Friendship Caravan, which performs songs in both Hebrew and English, is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Asaf Peled, one of the leaders of the troupe that performed locally, said the scouts go through a highly competitive selection process and are chosen based on their maturity, fluency in English, and performance skills. Hundreds of young people compete annually for one of the spots. The teens who are selected train with professionals for a year. The scouts stay with host families while traveling.
"This program is really important to help connect us with Jews in America and with people in America, in general," said Peled, 24. "We are able to share our experiences of living in Israel with people who know nothing about Israel, people who know little about Israel and even people who know a lot about Israel. It gives people a chance to connect with someone who is Israeli and helps them see that Israel is more than what they might see on the news."
In addition to Wednesday's community performance, the scouts will spend time today with summer campers at the local JCC. During their time with the campers, the Israeli delegates will play games, make crafts and share their experiences and backgrounds in Israel.
"We invite them back annually because it is such an enriching experience for our community. For us, it is a dual benefit — the community gets a wonderful, high-energy, feel-good performance and our campers get a unique educational opportunity," said Todd Rockoff, executive director at the JCC. "It's a wonderful way to introduce people to Israel, by giving them an opportunity to interact with Israeli youth."
More information about the Israeli Scouts is online at www.israelscouts.org. For more information about the Shaw Jewish Community Center, go to www.shawjcc.org.

- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (omit if brownie mix already has chocolate chips in it)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with silpat mats (compare prices).
- In a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon or spatula, beat brownie mix, butter and egg until smooth, about 50 strokes. Stir in cranberries and chocolate chips.
- Drop brownie mix cookie dough onto prepared cookie sheets by rounded tablespoonsful. Bake 10-15 minutes until cookies are firm to the touch and just browned around the edges.
- Let chocolate cranberry cookies cool on cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.

PHIL 4150: Analytic Philosophy
University of West Georgia
Fall 2012
Date: Tuesday October 2
· This test will be worth 20% of your total course grade. This is a timed test; you will have 75 minutes to complete the test.
· The test will begin promptly at the official start time of class. It is important that you be in your seat and prepared to begin at the official start time. If you arrive late for the test, you will not be given extra time to finish.
· See my online test archive for examples of past tests in this course:
You are required to provide your own blue book for the test. Blue books are mini notebooks designed especially for writing tests. They are available from the UWG Bookstore. They come in two sizes: small and large. Small should be large enough, unless you have really large handwriting, in which case you may want to use a large bluebook.
Section I: the Analytic Philosopher's Toolkit [20% of total test grade]. I will give you a short list of terms, phrases and distinctions to define and illustrate with examples. The terms and phrases will come from the following list:
· qualitative vs. numerical identity
· use vs. mention
· a posteriori vs. a priori
· relation
· definite description
· proposition
· Principle of Substitutivity
· extensional vs. intensional contexts
· propositional attitude
· correspondence theory of truth
· redundancy theory of truth
· Law of Excluded Middle
· Principle of Bivalence
· ostensive definition
· utilitarianism
Your answers should as be as detailed, clear and precise as possible. For example, the following is not an adequate explanation of the term "a priori": "independent of experience." This would get you partial credit, but not full credit. A much better answer is this: "An a priori statement is one that can be known to be true or false independent of sense experience, for example, 'All bachelors are unmarried' and 'Triangles have three sides.'"
Section II will consist of one discussion question [80% of total test grade]. You will be given two questions and required to choose one to answer. Your answer should be as detailed, clear and precise as time allows. In other words, tell me everything you know about the question asked. If you omit something that is relevant to the question, I will assume that you do not know the material you are omitting.
· Critically discuss Frege's Puzzle About Identity, his original (1879) solution, and his later (1892) solution.
· Critically discuss Frege's attitude towards truth. In your answer you should at minimum address the theory of truth that he criticizes, how he criticizes it, and what positive things he has to say about truth.
· Critically discuss Russell's theory of descriptions and at least two of the puzzles Russell intended it to solve (including how it is supposed to solve those two puzzles).
· Critically discuss Moore's account of goodness, including the Naturalistic Fallacy, the Open Question Argument, intuitionism, and associated ideas.
In these questions, the phrase "critically discuss" indicates that, in your discussion, you should not simply describe the views you are discussing; you should also consider reasons for and/or against believing those views. In other words, you need to show me, not simply that you understand the views in question, but that you have been thinking about whether there is good reason to accept them.
By requiring that you answer one of these essay questions, I am assessing your ability to engage in informed reasoning about the issue at hand. In studying for this portion of the test, I recommend that you practice composing essays that explain the arguments and other moral considerations relevant to each issue and that incorporate relevant facts (from the lecture notes and/or the textbook) where appropriate.
I expect that you will spend between 30 and 40 minutes on this essay during the 75 minutes you will have to take the test. I realize that, for some essay questions on this study guide, we may have covered more material than you can address in that length of time. So in preparing for the test, you should select which claims and concepts you plan to discuss while writing your answers.
It is very unwise to study simply by reading through the lecture notes and textbook again and again and then to attempt to compose your answers "on the fly" while taking the test. In preparing to take the test, you should actually practice taking the test by writing your definitions, short answers, and essays as much as possible. The efficacy of this study method, which requires that you put away your books and notes and engage in active recall of the course material, has been demonstrated by recent psychological research; see David Glenn, "Close the Book. Recall. Write It Down," Chronicle of Higher Education 55 (34): May 1, 2009 (available online through GALILEO, accessible via the UWG Library website).
Dr. Stephen Chew, a psychology professor at Samford University, has described the following four research-based study tips, all of which I strongly recommend:
First, as they study, students should elaborate on the material for connected learning. For example, they should ask themselves, "How does this concept relate to other concepts?"
Second, they should think about the distinctiveness of the concepts; that is, what distinguishes one concept from another. Students should ask themselves, "What are the key differences between this concept and other concepts?"
Third, if possible, they should try to make the information personal by relating it to themselves. Students should ask themselves, "How does this concept relate to my own experience, or what personal example can I think of that illustrates this concept?"
Fourth, they should study with retrieval and application in mind. Instead of reading over material repeatedly, students should close their books and practice recalling and applying the information in the ways the teacher expects them to on exams.
For example, say a student is learning about the Piagetian concept of assimilation. The student can elaborate on the concept by linking it to accommodation as one of the two key processes for cognitive growth. The student should also understand the distinction between assimilation and accommodation, and personal examples of assimilation and accommodation are helpful to do so. Finally, the student should be able to recall and use the concept of assimilation in a way that is expected by the teacher. Obviously, trying to do all these steps while studying is difficult. The allure of shallow, ineffective study strategies is that they are easier to do than more effective study strategies. The more students employ these deeper study strategies, however, the easier they will become; and these study habits will serve them well even beyond college.

Arkansas coach John L. Smith says the Razorbacks made it through preseason camp without any major injuries and appear to be at full strength entering this week's season opener against Jacksonville State.
That includes Knile Davis, who saw his first live action during a scrimmage last week. Davis, who led all Southeastern Conference running backs with 1,322 yards rushing in 2010, is back after missing all of last season with an ankle injury.
Smith, entering his first season as head coach of the No. 10 Razorbacks following the firing of Bobby Petrino, says Davis fumbled on his first carry of the scrimmage, but that the ground caused the fumble and Davis looked good otherwise.
Arkansas was 11-2 last season and returns first-team All-SEC quarterback Tyler Wilson.

Speaking ill of the dead doesn't sit well with U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves. Rocky Houston found that out at his sentencing hearing on Thursday.
"Mr. Houston, let me stop you right there," a clearly unhappy Reeves said when Houston alleged something about Roane County Sheriff's Deputy Bill Jones.
Jones and his ride-along friend Mike Brown died in a shootout with Rocky Houston and his older brother Leon in 2006.
On Aug. 2 2011, a seemingly healthy 21-year-old man never awakened, dying in his sleep from an undetected heart defect.
Melissa Childs isn't over the loss of her son, Josh Humphreys, and she doesn't know if she ever will. She does know something that helped her, and she wants to share that blessing in Roane County.
She wants to start a local chapter of Listening Hearts, a support group for bereaved mothers.
"These ladies have helped me tremendously," she said. "Even if I can help one person, that is my goal."
A high speed chase ended badly for a 27-year-old man on June 21.
Kingston Assistant Police Chief Gary Nelson said he was on patrol at the intersection of Paint Rock Ferry Road and Hwy. 70 early that morning when an SUV swerved into his lane.
Nelson said the SUV didn't stop when he turned on his emergency lights.
An Oct. 27, 2009, order issued by the Tennessee Ethics Commission says that Marty Miles was fined $9,250 for failing to timely file a disclosure of interest statement when he was a Kingston city councilman.
Miles said this week that he'd never seen or heard of such an order.
"I'm not going to argue with the order, but it says there was a hearing, and I wasn't a part of that hearing," he said. "I can assure you that I didn't get anything on this."
The inability to locate a key witness led to a drastic move in the Ralph O'Neal murder case on Monday.
"We would ask that you allow us to enter a dismissal," Assistant District Attorney General Alyson Kennedy told Criminal Court Judge E. Eugene Eblen.
Eblen, who appeared surprised, granted the request.
"We have no objection," O'Neal attorney Bob Vogel said.
And with that, the case was over.
Oliver Springs, a town once renowned for healthful waters, has been slammed with fines for releasing poorly treated sewage into its main creek.
Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has levied more than $175,000 in damages and penalties for violations of the Water Quality Control Act.
A retired Roane County educator known for her love of music was killed in a car wreck Tuesday afternoon.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Margie Wadlington, 83, was a passenger in a 2011 Buick driven by her husband, George Wadlington.
He was attempting to make a turn onto Smalley Lane from Hwy. 58.
A 2005 Audi driven by Zuniga Rafael Gonzalez struck the Buick broadside, causing it to strike a 2001 Honda that was attempting to make a right turn onto Hwy. 58 from Smalley Lane.
Harriman police closed off part of downtown Saturday evening after an elaborate 911 call prank alleging a man had killed his wife in the Roane Street apartment they shared.
"The guy in Harriman, he didn't do anything wrong," said Harriman Police Chief Randy Heidle. "He's actually the victim."
Roane County Executive Ron Woody said he's not surprised some commissioners from Cumberland and Morgan counties want Mike Farmer back in office.
"They got $2.5 million out of us last time he was in office, so of course they want him back," Woody said. "They understand they got a good shot to get more money with Mike Farmer."

WASHINGTON — Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, said Wednesday that the government needed to fix hundreds of problems with the website for the federal health insurance marketplace, but she rejected bipartisan calls to delay parts of the new health care law.
She made her comments at a hearing of the Senate Finance Committee just hours after the Obama administration had disclosed that the chief information officer at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services would retire. His office supervised the creation of the troubled website.
The official, Tony Trenkle, will step down Nov. 15 to take a position in the private sector, according to an email message circulated among agency employees. He has supervised the spending of $2 billion a year on information technology products and services, including the development of the website.
His retirement is part of a management shake-up announced by Michelle Snyder, the chief operating officer of the Medicare agency, who was herself deeply involved in major decisions about the insurance marketplace.
Even as Sebelius testified about progress in repairing the website, agency officials were reporting new problems Wednesday.
The site is performing slowly, said Julie Bataille, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Some users have difficulty logging in and receive error messages.
Under the new health care law, most Americans will be required to have coverage next year.
The online marketplace, or exchange, has been plagued with problems since it opened Oct. 1.
Sebelius said officials had a list of a couple of hundred functional fixes that had to be made so the website, HealthCare.gov, would work smoothly for most users by Nov. 30, a deadline set by the administration.
With many people unable to obtain coverage through the website, lawmakers in both parties have suggested extending the open enrollment period or delaying the financial penalties for people who go without insurance. Sebelius refused to consider those proposals.
Delaying the Affordable Care Act would not delay peoples cancer or diabetes or Parkinsons disease, she said. It would not delay the need for mental health services or cholesterol screenings or prenatal care.
For millions of Americans, delay is not an option, Sebelius said. Peoples lives depend on this.

1.2 model. Thank you
I just sent a PM to TeeKay007 about the handoff of the 703s from Dabutcher this Saturday. Is that still the plan?
Sounds good to me. Thank you.
Let us know when they are to come to chicago
Any chance they'll be making there way through the Iowa area?
TeeKay007. Now is in possession of the speakers. Nice people to meet. All the best. Darryl
Any chance they will come back to wisconsin ? Missed the other times.
I think teekay007 has them.
Those were a different pair from the pair we had. Read post #92 & #96. The east coast pair were the ones returned not the Midwest pair.
TeeKay007 picked them up from me on 10/05/12. Send him a pm if you are interested? Thanks. D
this is a question irrelevant to the current thread, but i dont know what to put it under, is there anyway you guys could start a demo program aimed at FPO/APO, or some other program aimed at and for military, i think it would be a good way to help those who serve know about new products and test new products before they get stateside, as most stores i have encountered have little selection and or no demo set-up of any audio products other than a display of the item theyre trying to move, as a lot of us live in base housing or barracks, smaller systems such as soundbars, wireless surround, and bookshelf and satellite speakers may be easier, also with having mostly the order online option, we have no option to demo most of your fine products, any feedback would be awesome, thanks in advance- rob
i also think if more service members were aware of your product and its quality, they would talk to store managers and get them carried in the exchange, as it is right now the closest thing to high end speakers we have would be bose, and lets face it, bose sucks, and we're spoon-fed bose and beats here
Rob, thanks for the great idea about getting Polk demos out to the base housing or barracks. We have some new SurroundBars coming soon that I think will be perfect for this. Can you send me a DM with a good location to send a new demo to?
Thanks again!
WSEdwardet reported
I would be interested in this demo but I am not sure if it is still active or where that are geographically. Is this demo still available in the Peoria/Chicago area?
So sorry for the delay. I think all is sorted out now with Conradicles. CES and Macworld rang me through the ringer but there's no excuse for being such a shlub. My bad. I'm back!
Jon -
You may want to post in the other thread with the east coast demo... I sent Scotty pm requesting he forward contact info details to you, so I hope you got that. I know Treitz3 is interested next in the Charlotte area, but not sure about that and who may be on the list you have, so some updates in the thread would be good. We all know you have been swamped, and want to keep things moving forward but we don't want to do the wrong thing and screw up the demo for others- so we have been in a holding pattern for awhile. Big thanks to you and Polk for making these demos possible. I was thrilled with the 703's and hated to see them leave the house.
Jon, i want to apologize for any rudeness that may have come through in any of my posts, the fact i have to sell my gear is not your fault, nor is your timing regarding a FREE audition of some great gear unreasonable.
Many members know what deb and i are going through with our health situation, and now pressing repairs to the house just add to the stress, and unfortunately i was not handling it well.
I sincerely apologize and thank you for your efforts.
BTW, i have cleared some space in my pm box.
grameedreww reported
So are these still in rotation? Any chance of coming back to the Chicago/NWI area?
This is the official word from Polk, the demo program is now closed. Thank you to all who participated.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did his best Arianna Huffington impression Tuesday, while discussing the wild recall election which launched him into the California governor's office.
Arianna runs the Huffington Post now, but in 2003, she challenged Arnold, as well as former child stars, porn actresses and other assorted wingnuts in the California recall. The hilarious video of Arnold's impression can be viewed here.
It's still difficult to believe this man was the governor of California for eight years. He never fails to make a complete jackass out of himself. However, he was fairly humorous Tuesday while promoting his book with journalist Ned Martel.
His impression of Huffington was uncanny, and it got the entire crowd laughing. Do you think it was in bad taste or just harmless fun? What reaction do you think Arianna will have? Honestly, Arianna has a great sense of humor, so she likely won't be offended. Why would she care what Arnold Schwarzenegger says?
"Here was this whiny woman sitting there. And I said, I'm gonna get her and bang, and I say, 'You know something, I just got an idea: when I do Terminator 4, you're going to play the female Terminator, next movie!'" Schwarzenegger said of the moment when he zinged her in a debate. "And she was outraged because she just saw Terminator 3 and I took the female Terminator and stuck her head in the toilet."

By Steven Munatones, Swimming World correspondent, Open Water Course
BARCELONA, Spain, July 20. THE world knows that Ous Mellouli is going to be a factor in every race he enters, but only the Canadians knew what they had in store at the 2013 FINA World Championships.
Mellouli kicked off the championships with his second straight gold medal victory in a major open water race after his dominant 10 km victory at the 2012 Olympics last summer (shown on left from London). "I didn't expect to win the 5 km. I am really happy with the results. I did take six months off and got back into training not too long ago. To be on top of the world is quite exciting for me."
And excitement ran deep throughout the podium winners. The silver medal for Canadian Eric Hedlin was especially welcomed by the newcomer. He pushed Mellouli and forced the Tunisian to dig deep and win over the last 100 meters. But the 20-year-old certainly showed the world that Canada is on track to make some serious waves in the open water world.
The final results in the opening salvo of the open water competition among the highest echelon of men. Some excellent showings by Chad Ho (4th), Jarrod Port of Australia (5th), Samuel de Bona of Brazil (6th), and Ivan Endrica of Ecuador (7th) gives a hint of the not-so-surprising hunger of the next generation of open water stars.
1. Oussama Mellouli (TUNISIA) 53:30.4
2. Eric Hedlin (CANADA) 53:31.6
3. Thomas Lurz (GERMANY) 53:32.2
4. Chad Ho (SOUTH AFRICA) 53:33.7
5. Jarrod Poort (AUSTRALIA) 53:34.3
6. Samuel De Bona (BRAZIL) 53:34.9
7. Ivan Alejandro Endrica Ochoa (ECUADOR) 53:36.7

Newmar will introduce its best value in a class A gas motor home since its introduction of the Bay Star in 2006. The Bay Star Sport will debut at the 49th Annual National RV Trade Show in Louisville, KY that runs from November 29th to December 1st.
The Bay Star Sport will be offered in four models ranging from 27' to 33' in length. The Sport uses the Ford® F-53 chassis with the Ford® Triton V-10 engine as its platform and power plant. Newmar plans to build the Bay Star Sport using the same construction, air conditioning system and slide out mechanism the company is known for and uses on all of its other products, yet offer this entry level gas product at an affordable price.
"The success Newmar has had with the 2012 Ventana LE since its introduction at last year's show in Louisville, prompted our company to take similar approach in developing a lower cost version of our Bay Star gas motor home," said John Sammut Newmar's V.P. of Sales. "We feel that the price at which we are offering this well valued product will render our company added business without taking sales away from Newmar's best-selling brand – Bay Star" he added.
Bay Star Sport starts at a base MSRP of $93,450 for its 2702 model with 2 slide outs. Standard features include gelcoated fiberglass side walls with vinyl graphics, Dometic® 6 cu. ft. refrigerator, 32" LCD TV in the front living area, Dometic® patio awning and one piece tinted windshield. Optional equipment available includes partial exterior paint treatment, hydraulic leveling system, slide out awnings and 600 watt inverter. The Sport will be available in two stylish interior packages along with two wood finishes.

As part of National Radon Action Month during January, the Kane County Health Department wants parents of children in day care to know they will be better informed about levels of radon in their child's facility under a new state law that took effect Jan. 1, 2013.
Licensed day care centers and day care homes in Illinois are now required to test for the radioactive gas. Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, day care centers will need to show proof the facility has been tested for radon within the last three years as part of the initial application or license renewal process.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless radioactive gas that comes from the radioactive decay of naturally occurring uranium in the soil. Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., and the leading cause among non-smokers. It's estimated that nearly 1,200 radon-related lung cancer deaths occur each year in Illinois.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has established 4.0 picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L) as the action level for radon.
Under the law, which was signed by Gov. Pat Quinn on Aug. 17, 2012, non-residential day care centers are required to hire an IEMA-licensed radon measurement professional to test the facility. Home day care centers may purchase a home test kit and conduct the test themselves or hire a licensed contractor to perform the test.
Day care facilities are required to post the most current radon measurement results next to the licenses issued by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and provide copies of the report to parents or guardians upon request.
The law does not require day care facilities to reduce radon levels if they exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's action level of 4.0 pCi/L. IEMA recommends radon reduction actions be taken if radon levels are above 4.0 pCi/L and licenses contractors who install radon mitigation systems.
The Health Department's Community Health Improvement Plan targets chronic diseases such as cancer and the department recommends that all homes in Kane County be tested for radon. Testing kits are available for $15 from the Kane County Health Department and Kane County Development Office and from most local hardware stores.
A Speakers Bureau has been created to offer free radon presentations to the community. CLICK HERE for our online Radon Presentation Request Form. Contact Terry Roman at 630-264-7653 or at firstname.lastname@example.com with questions. More information and resources about radon is available on the Health Department's website at kanehealth.com/radon.htm.
The Kane County Healthy places Coalition is a group of community residents and stakeholders interested in environmental health. You can learn more about the coalition by visiting kanehealth.com/healthy_places.htm.
More information about radon, including lists of IEMA-licensed measurement and mitigation contractors, is available at www.radon.Illinois.gov or by calling the Radon Hotline at 800-325-1245.

How the $100 Series EE Savings Bond WorksThe paper bond, which you can see above, features a $100 face value with an image of Thomas Jefferson, the nation's third President, author of the Declaration of Independence, and first Secretary of State, against a watermark of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
When you buy a paper Series EE bond (if you don't know how, read How Do I Buy Series EE Bonds?) you will pay 50% of the face value. In this case, you would pay $50 in cash today and receive the $100 savings bond within 15 business days to your address of record.
Depending upon the interest rate paid on your Series EE savings bonds (for more information, read How To Find Out the Interest Rate on Your Series EE Savings Bonds), your bond will reach face value at some point in the future. An important thing that most new investors don't understand: Your bond can continue to earn interest for up to 30 years. This means that it's possible for it to exceed the face value at some point in the future. This $100 bond, which cost you $50, could be worth $500, depending upon how long you hold it and the interest rate at which it was issued to you.

CNY is approaching which is now the Year of the Rabbit. So what does it mean?
Well, I'm in China and seeing the decorations go up, supermarkets are packed with shoppers buying last minute stocks (particularly sweets!) and buying packets of red envelopers.
The year of the Rabbit for this Chinese New Year means those born under this sign are said to be ambitious, lucky, sensitive, creative and compassionate.
I thought the influence of the Rabbit means more sex will take place this year but in Chinese terms:
It tends to spoil those who like too much comfort and thus impair their effectiveness and sense of duty.
We will all have a tendency to put off disagreeable tasks as long as possible
Money can be made without too much labour.
For once, it may seem possible for us to be carefree and happy without too many annoyances.
Here's some wallpapers you can use for your iPhone or Desktop computer wallpaper:

New Castle News
Does it trouble you that a local lawmaker pockets more than $30,000 beyond his salary every year?
That's the case with state Rep. Chris Sainato, the Lawrence County Democrat who received $31,357 in per diem payments during the course of 2011. According to a recent examination by the New Castle News of per diem payments to local lawmakers, Sainato received the second-highest amount statewide, and easily beat out two other lawmakers representing parts of the county.
State Rep. Jaret Gibbons collected $21,026 in per diems in 2011, while the total for Rep. Michele Brooks was $9,571.
Per diems are lump-sum payments given to cover expenses on a daily basis. In the case of Sainato, his total is for 200 days he was away from home — either in Harrisburg or elsewhere — on legislative business.
Such payments are certainly legal, and they are legitimate in the sense that it costs a considerable amount of money for a Lawrence County lawmaker to travel to and from Harrisburg, as well as stay overnight in that city. Taxpayers ought to pay for reasonable expenses.
But are the expenses reasonable? It's difficult to quantify that, because per diems require no real documentation.
For 2011, per diems paid to lawmakers were either $160 or $163 per day, depending on what part of the year they were taken. If the expenses of a lawmaker fell short of this amount on a daily basis, he or she was able to pocket the remainder. And if the money is claimed on a day the Legislature officially was in session, these funds are tax exempt.
We understand there is a cost to traveling. And it includes meals out, which are typically more expensive than those eaten at home. On the other hand, it's worth noting that if taxpayers are footing the bill for meals, lawmakers avoid a routine daily expense most people have to pay on their own.
Sainato attributes the amount of his per diems to the fact he has more seniority than other local lawmakers and has more committee assignments and related responsibilities. Obviously, that is a factor.
However, we couldn't help but notice that per diem data shows the top payment to a House member in 2011 was more than $39,000, while the biggest amount paid out to a state senator was less than $17,000.
Does this mean House members are more active and more fruitful on the part of taxpayers than their Senate counterparts? Somehow we doubt that.
In The News' review of per diems for local lawmakers, it was interesting to see that state Sen. Elder Vogel, who is based in Beaver County but represents much of Lawrence County, had no such claims. Instead, Vogel submits his expenses for exact reimbursement.
That's what all lawmakers should do, in the interest of transparency and accountability. And considering his per diem totals, Sainato should be leading the effort to make that happen.

White House Misled Press: Obama Knew and Lived With Uncle Who Was Here Illegally
Onyango Obama was granted a green card Tuesday after living in U.S. illegally for 43 years.
Onyango Obama, left, is seen at a court hearing in Framingham, Mass., after being arrested for drunk driving. The White House acknowledged for the first time Thursday that the president knew his uncle.
The White House admitted Thursday it misinformed the press about President Barack Obama's relationship with his uncle, Onyango "Omar" Obama, a Kenyan citizen awarded a green card Tuesday after living in the U.S. illegally for 43 years.
Despite originally claiming they never met, the White House now says the president lived with his uncle briefly after moving to Massachusetts in 1988 to attend Harvard Law School.
The elder Obama, 69, famously told police "I think I will call the White House" in August 2011 after an arrest for drunk driving in Framingham, Mass. The Boston Globe reported in January 2012 the White House claimed the two men never met.
The relationship was unknown to nearly everyone. A 2011 Washington Post report relayed that "[s]cholars who have studied Obama's family said they do not think he has ever met his uncle Omar."
[REPORT: 'Climate of Fear' for Press Under Obama]
The White House's clarification Thursday, attributed to spokesman Eric Schultz, says:
"The president did stay with him for a brief period of time until his apartment was ready. After that, they saw each other once every few months, but after law school they fell out of touch. The president has not seen him in 20 years, has not spoken with him in 10."
The Boston Globe first reported the reversal.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said during the daily White House press briefing Thursday the mix-up was the result of miscommunication.
"No one had spoken to the president" before making the original claim, Carney said. "I thought it was the right thing to do to go ask him."
[BROWSE: Editorial Cartoons About Barack Obama]
The disclosure comes after Onyango Obama said Tuesday at an immigration hearing that his nephew lived with him in the 1980s.
During that hearing immigration Judge Leonard Shapiro granted the president's uncle – whose visa expired in 1970 – legal residency in the U.S.
"He appears to me to be a gentleman and I'm inclined to grant his application on that basis," Shapiro said, according to Reuters. The same judge granted Obama's aunt Zeituni Onyango, also in the country illegally, asylum in 2010.

A fan holds up a LeBron James poster at the Cleveland Indians vs New York Yankees baseball game Thursday, July 10, 2014, in Cleveland. Long-suffering Cleveland sports fans are anticipating an announcement on the possible return of four-time NBA MVP LeBron James to the Cavaliers. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak) / AP
CLEVELAND — Welcome back.
After four years away, professional basketball has returned to the Buckeye state.
Thats the power of LeBron James.
When James left the Cleveland Cavaliers after the 2010 season, the team had the best record in basketball until a bulky elbow and playoff implosion led to The Decision. That led to the comic sans letter from the owner, which led to basketball oblivion.
After a dismal four years that included the Cavs completely laying down against James in their first encounter, a then-NBA-record losing streak, four trips to the draft lottery, the mummified coaching of Byron Scott, the re-return of Mike Brown and the re-firing of him a year later, the sacking of Chris Grant, the tank job on Super Bowl weekend in Madison Square Garden, a 44-point loss at Sacramento and the comedy stylings of losing to a team with four guys on the court through all that here we are.
While the franchise struggled to find an identity other than the clown show they put on the court night after night, James lived up to his immense potential. He went to four NBA Finals, winning two, and became the games unquestioned No. 1 superstar, regardless of Kevin Durant winning the MVP award this past season.
Originally a peer with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, it took James only a season to turn into the alpha male everyone expected him to become when he left Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary a decade ago. If the Heatles were Destinys Child, James was Beyonce and Wade and Bosh were the other two.
Beyonce eventually had to leave the group to become what shes become. So did James.
It had to work out this way.
If James had agreed to stay in Cleveland four years ago if The Decision went the other way he wouldnt be the player he is today. As I wrote more than a year ago, James had to leave home.
As James stated himself in his Sports Illustrated piece announcing his return, think of his four years in Miami as his college years. He left a boy and came back a man, like so many of us experienced in our time away at school.
In Cleveland, he was coddled and catered. In Miami, he was told to grow up, then showed how to do it. Heat President Pat Riley was his sensei; Wade was his tutor. In four years in Miami, he earned a degree in how to be a real pro with a minor in how to win.
He wasnt going to get that in Cleveland, where the Cavaliers' answer was to surround him with underachievers and over-the-hillers and hope it worked.
That was then and this is now. In the 11th hour, the Cavaliers became attractive for a homecoming, while the Heat looked like they were reliving the Cavs final hours in 2010, complete with entitled recruiting pitch and dead-end roster.
James only was going to go so far with Cleveland post-2010. The same goes with Miami post-2014. For him to reach the career marks he desperately covets, for him to realize his legacy, for him to become the player hes destined to become, he had to leave Miami and return home.
There will be talk of a Big Three in Cleveland. No, no, no. He will play with a great young player in Kyrie Irving. The Cavs will add another piece or keep Andrew Wiggins. But, the team will be James.
The neat thing about that is hes finally mature enough and capable enough to handle that pressure. Hes free to be the unquestioned star of stars. He truly can be The King now.
And the Cleveland Cavaliers, after four abysmal, embarrassing years, get to reap the benefits.
Welcome back professional basketball. Ohio missed you.

A. Have you been putting a steroid cream on it, such as an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or a stronger, prescription strength steroid cream? If so, then she may have perioral dermatitis, a chronic rash that is caused by using steroid creams on a child's face.
In many situations, a child has a simple rash caused by irritation and is treated with a steroid cream. While that helps the rash get better for a little while, it then gets worse again and eventually doesn't respond to the steroid cream anymore.
If you are using a steroid cream and think that she may have perioral dermatitis, then you should stop using it. Be warned that the rash will get worse once you stop using the steroids and will then gradually get better. Sometimes, a topical or oral antibiotic is also needed to help perioral dermatitis go away.
Protopic ointment may also be effective and even with the new drug warnings can still be used for children over age 2 for short periods of time when other treatments aren't effective. Using it to treat perioral dermatitis would be considered 'off-label' though.
Keep in mind that fluoride toothpaste is also suspected to cause perioral dermatitis in some children.
Does her rash look like any of these pictures of children with perioral dermatitis?
Does it sound like this description of perioral dermatitis from the American Academy of Dermatology?
If not and this doesn't sound like what is causing her rash, then you may want to see a Pediatric Dermatologist for a second opinion.
