Rock Music Menu: Happy 30th, compact disc!
Thirty years ago this Saturday, the first compact discs were released in the United States.
The advent of a more portable, better- sounding medium for music was meant to take listeners by storm, though at the time, the units that could play the shiny silver platters were big, bulky and went by the not-too-affordable price tag of about $1,000. Considering inflation, it would be about double that amount today.
CBS Records was optimistic, though, dropping 16 titles on an unsuspecting public March 3, 1983. The industry giant had 130 titles at its disposal, the number released the October prior in Japan, where the format took off like crazy. The same didn't hold true here, at least not at first.
It took a few years for CDs to catch on, primarily because of the aforementioned price of the equipment, though the compact discs remained steady between $15.99 and $19.99. There was also a major issue as to how to get the physical product in stores, as all of them had to be imported. It wouldn't be until late 1984 that Sony opened up the first stateside manufacturing plant in Terre Haute, Ind. That's a town that may seem familiar to some. It was where you sent that penny taped to a postcard to get 12 CDs back in the day to Columbia House record club.
Finally, by 1988, compact discs were on fire. Few stores could keep the top titles in stock around the holidays, and in its wake, vinyl was left nearly dead. Record stores were quickly becoming "record stores" in name only. Pretty soon, home computers were coming with CD-ROM drives standard, cars could be fitted with compact disc players and eventually the players became portable. Those last two skipped to the high heavens, though, frustrating even the most patient music lover.
The year 2000 saw what will no doubt be put down in history books as the peak of CD sales, clocking in at a staggering billion-plus worldwide. Eight years later, that figure plummeted by half, and this January, Nielsen Soundscan reported that sales of CDs continued to drop — 13 percent in 2012 alone — with less than 200 million units sold.
File-sharing, the MP3 and the piecemeal desire of listeners who would rather have a single than a whole record have all contributed to the decline of the compact disc. It's likely that the CD was the last physical format that will ever make a marked impact on music. But will it ever die for good? Probably not. Big-box stores like Best Buy and Wal-Mart still carry compact discs, as do online retailers like Amazon, ensuring that on some level, CDs will always be around. A dominant force, no, but still something that will be widely available.
A few fun compact disc facts:
■ Billy Joel's "52nd Street" was the first commercially released compact disc, and is one of the only confirmed in the initial 16 by CBS.
■ Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" was the first CD to be pressed in the United States. Continued...
■ Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" was the first CD to sell 1 million copies.
What was your first?
Most of us weren't lining up 30 years ago to purchase the first compact discs made available. But at some point over the next several years, we were all sucked in by the format, whether it was because of the promised pristine quality of the sound or just because we tired of using a pencil to wind the tape back into a cassette that our boomboxes hadn't eaten — that time.
The first CD I purchased was The Who's "Collection Volume One" at Dynamic Disc on MacDade Boulevard in Folsom. The box-shaped building opened for music business in 1986 and years later turned into Lee's Hoagie House when CD sales declined. But at the time, it was one of the few places in the region that carried both imports, which is what The Who CD was, on the Polydor label, along with straight-up bootlegs.
Both were ridiculously overpriced.
"Collection Volume One" set me back $39.98, a ridiculous amount even now, but especially for that time. It had some of my favorite Who songs in one place, though, including "The Seeker," "The Relay" and bassist John Entwistle's classic spotlight piece, "Boris the Spider." Also, no one else I knew had the CD, or more likely was dumb enough to pay that amount for it.
The first proper, non-import CD I purchased was — no surprise to regular Rock Music Menu readers — the debut by Van Halen. I had borrowed the cassette enough times from my uncle, but was the first in the family to have it on CD. I've since purchased the remastered version that came out a few years back and have recently come full circle, back to vinyl, which I think sounds much better.
What was your first CD?
Send an email to Rock Music Menu at email@example.com with the title of your first CD and any other compact disc-related memories and I'll print them in next week's column. Also, do you think the CD will go the way of the 8 Track and cassette?

Hi all!
I've been working on Ivory for the past few weeks. She's the female protagonist and is a contrast to Amon both in looks and background. She's a ranger class and uses a crossbow with magic abilities. She's arrogant, stubborn and independent. Here's some of the progress making the In-Game 3D model:
Production Sheet
As you can see she's a very beautiful character. Now to make this look good in 3D we need 3 things: A well sculpted high poly model. A low poly model with nice topology flow. And great Texture maps. This is especially true when it comes to her face.
The sculpture:
With characters like this I usually start with the head. It's just a personal preference, but I think it's easier to adjust the body to the head later when I have that done. So with the head I really need to get some likeness from the concept as fast as possible. This becomes a tweaking job very fast, because small adjustments can alter the look of a face drastically.
The texture and hair will help this alot.
I usually block in the underlying body after the head is complete. I use zspheres in Zbrush and try to focus on silhouette and shape. Just trying to get it as near to the concept as possible. After that I go into Maya and block in the basemeshes for the equipment and clothes. Then back into Zbrush for repositioning small tweaks and detailing.
When the sculpture is done, it's time to do the low poly. I do this in Topogun. It esentially lets you paint polys on top of a high polygon model reference. This takes about a day on a character like this. And it's important to think about animation when it comes to poly flow. The mesh needs to have enough polys where there is deformation. Like the face, knees, elbows etc.
The final model was rendered in Marmoset Toolbag for presentation. This is not the ingame engine.

I hope you guys like it!

Boston (BBY) taxi?
Posted 17 March 2012 - 09:23 AM
Posted 17 March 2012 - 09:47 AM
Welcome to the Forum! I haven't been in Boston in a year, but the MBTA (Subway/Commuter Rail) runs to Dedham from Both Back Bay and South Station !(The Franklin Line!)You didnt say which Hotel you were going to but you can Google up the MTBA Site and your Hotel and see if its possible to hop on the Train to reach your Hotel, it might be Cheaper, Boston Taxis and Traffic can be Expensive and Hectic!! (Of course if your Expenses are Covered by work Taxis might work, but Id suggest staying on the Lake Shore to South Station(a Real RailRoad Station as opposed to a Subway Stop) its much Bigger, has more Services and should be easier to snag a Cab there! Same price to Back Bay or South Station and they are only about 10 minutes apart!!)First time trip on the LSL to Boston for work, will arrive at Back Bay Station about 9 pm. I'll need transportion to a hotel in Dedham. Will there be cabs at the station at that time of night, or is it best to make arrangements in advance? If so, any advice?

Have you considered getting off the train in Framingham? You would probably need to prearrange a cab or car service, but then you aren't going all the way into the city just to turn around and go back out.

Take care and take trains!
Posted 17 March 2012 - 11:27 AM
The only thing is that if you take the LSL to NYP, the next train north is #66 at 3 AM, arriving after 7 AM! If you take the CL to WAS, there are trains that arrive RTE before midnight!
A training I will go ... !

Although not the same, in January AlanB and I rode to the Florida Mini-Gathering together. I began and ended my trip in Rhode Island and he began and ended his trip at NYP. I put his name on the complete reservation (including the portion he did not ride). There was no problem!

Just returned from my trip last weekend (and going again for round 2 this weekend!). We arrived into Back Bay about an hour early (8pm)on a Sunday, and there were several taxis lined up in the street outside the entrance. No problem...except for the cab fare Next week I'll probably use commuter rail to Rte. 128 or Dedham Corporate where the hotel shuttle will pick me up for free.Follow up on the taxi question at BBY. Google street view shows alot of taxi's waiting. Is this typical? How about arival on a Saturday afternoon? I am planning a trip and will have luggage so I am thinking the T may not be the best for where I am going.

"Dairy Cliff" Could Raise Milk Prices
By: Jim Madalinsky
Updated: December 28, 2012
LORETTO, CAMBRIA COUNTY - It's not as well known as the Fiscal Cliff, but the Dairy Cliff could bring an immediate impact to both producers and consumers in the area. With the current farm bill set to expire, we could be looking at an extreme price spike if leaders in Washington can't strike a deal.
Without a new farm bill, national agriculture policies could be going back in time. If nothing changes in the next few days, government will revert to the same policies they used in 1949.
"We've never had to confront this as we are now because roughly every 5 years youve had a new farm bill or an extension to prevent that 1940's policy from being imposed on our farmers, our families and our consumers." Sen. Bob Casey says.
Those old polices would call for an additional 12 to 15 billion dollars
in spending and cause milk prices to sky-rocket.
"Going to the store the price of a gallon of milk or even a half-gallon will go up in ways that I'm not sure it ever has," Casey says.
With the clock winding down in Washington, dairy producers are stuck in a holding pattern.
"We're a local family farm who has lots of local customers, so we truly hope for this issue to be resolved so we can continue our day to day operations and keep doing what we do best here," Carissa Itle Westrick of Vale Wood Farms says.
As a local dealer the immediate national impact won't affect their pricing, but that doesn't mean they won't see a change.
"If that would end up affecting state pricing requirements then that's something that we would have to respond to as well. The state does set a minimum price at what milk can be purchased at," Westrick says.
Westrick says buyers have shown concern recently over what might happen if a new farm bill isn't passed and the overall sentiment is frustration.
"It's a shame that Washington bickering falls out and ends up impacting people like you and I. My kids are six and eight and I feel like they can negotiate better than some of the folks in Washington right now," Westrick says.
The Senate has already passed a Farm Bill, and the house is scheduled to meet on Sunday. Senator Casey said he is optimistic they'll be able to get the bill passed in the house to avoid the potential price spikes.

You should have a look at this project :
There is a dedicated part for Spring Security integration using GWT-SL
Do any one have a working sample of gwt-incubator-lib ?
Hi Delirii,
Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to implement Spring security in simple Greetings RPC application. I am getting struck with the login page and how the roles is being propogated from client side.
Here are my questions
1. What configurations you do in client side, inorder to get the role propogated?
2. Are we going to add spring security related configuration in web.xml file?
WOuld be nice if you can point me to a implemented sample.
gwt-incubator-lib does not work with GWT 1.7 it seams...
Second that. I was not able to get gwt-incubator-security-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT working with gwt 1.7.0
It seems that all RPC calls try to call my service methods on the wrong object:
The getItem() method is actually defined in my RPC service interface and implementation and works fine when I remove gwt-incubator-security.Code:SEVERE: Exception while dispatching incoming RPC call
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.gwtwidgets.server.spring.hb4gwt.HB4GWTRPCServiceExporter.getItem()
at org.gwtwidgets.server.spring.GWTRPCServiceExporter.handleExporterProcessingException(spring:GWTRPCServiceExporter.java):344)
at org.gwtwidgets.server.spring.GWTRPCServiceExporter.processCall(spring:GWTRPCServiceExporter.java):313)
My environment:
Windows XP
Spring 2.5.6
SpringSecurity 2.0.4
Did anyone manage to get method level security working with GWT 1.7? Would love to see a working example...
I am currently using
- gwt-incubator-lib
And noticed the following exception is being thrown when using GWTSecuredHandler:
This does not occur when using the GWTHandler.Code:[WARN] Exception while dispatching incoming RPC call
com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.IncompatibleRemoteServiceException: Type 'com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.data.BasePagingLoadConfig' was not assignable to 'com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.IsSerializable' and did not have a custom field serializer. For security purposes, this type will not be deserialized.
It seems that gwt-incubator-lib is not really usable at this stage. Is there no other alternative?
GWT incubator security lib has been updated to work with GWT 1.7.
I'll give it a try.
I do not use Gilaed in my case, nor GWT Ext, it may help.
I think you're right. Gilead is what seems to cause the problem I'm facing:
The gwt-incubator-security uses GWTRPCServiceExporter by default, whereas my RPC services are managed by HB4GWTRPCServiceExporter.
I will try to replace GWTRPCServiceExporter references by HB4GWTRPCServiceExporter in the gwt-incubator-security code. If that doesn't work I will simply create a merged class which does the job of both :/
If anyone has a smarter solution please feel free to share.

How to take care of sooty mold
The black mold is sooty mold, which is not a plant disease. It does however indicate that the plant has a sap-sucking insect infestation such as scales, mealybugs or aphids. Once the insects are under control, the sooty mold disappears. A fungicide treatment would not be effective.

Employers shouldnt be fooled by the latest Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report showing that the U.S. government is filing fewer lawsuits against companies. In fact, says veteran employment lawyer Gerald Maatman Jr., the number of systemic discrimination investigations has increased four-fold.
Dealing with the EEOC is a very high-stakes situation, said Maatman, a partner at Seyfarth Shaw in Chicago and New York. Should these cases not settleand most dontthey will be filed as court suits in 2013 or 2014. The pipeline is chock full.
Maatman spoke with CorpCounsel.com after the EEOC this week released its Performance and Accountability Report for the 2012 fiscal year [PDF]. The report shows that the agency filed only 122 lawsuits in FY 2012, down from 261 in 2011. (Find more analysis of the EEOC report by Maatman and his colleagues here.)
Commission chair Jacqueline Berrien introduced the report, saying the lower numbers reflect the EEOCs refocused efforts in recent years on the efficient and effective enforcement of the nations equal employment laws.
But Maatman said the figures also illustrate a growing criticism by federal courts over the agencys litigation tactics.
The EEOC rushed in 2009 and 2010 to file some lawsuits without doing its homework, the defense lawyer said, and judges called them on it. What it did in 2012 is ratchet back the lawsuits filed . . . but overall activity is up.
Thats why simply reading the report can give a false sense of whats really going on, according to Maatman. Employers need to do a closer study and realize that while the number of filings is down, the recoveries are up because the agency is pursuing suits more aggressively and thoughtfully.
In 2012, the EEOC secured a historic monetary recovery of $365 million through is private sector administrative enforcementthe highest level of monetary relief ever, according to the agency.
Administrative enforcement includes mediation, settlements, withdrawals with benefits, and conciliation. About 10 percent of the recovery amountor $36 millioncame from investigations of systemic charges of discrimination, four times the amount received in the previous fiscal year.
The largest settlement, totaling $11 million, involved the Fortune 500 company YRC Inc. (formerly Yellow Transportation Inc.). Settled on June 29, the complaint alleged that the trucking giant subjected black employees at a Chicago facility to a racially hostile working environment, and discriminatory terms and conditions of employment. The EEOC had evidence of multiple hangmens nooses, racist graffiti, and harsher discipline and scrutiny of black employees.
The company strongly disputed the charges, but it resolved the case by consent decree. Besides the payment, YRC also agreed to retain consultants to examine its discipline and work assignment procedures and recommend changes to prevent racial disparities.
In a statement at the time of settlement, Kelly Walls, senior vice president of human resources at YRC, said: There may be isolated instances of improper conduct in any workplace, but the allegations in these cases did not reflect the real working environment . . . The company had many factual and legal defenses to the claims, including evidence refuting the most scandalous allegation.
Walls went on to say that YRC settled the cases to bring the lawsuits to an end, and to avoid further legal fees and costs.
But David Lopez, general counsel at the EEOC, had his own take on the issue. In a statement released upon settlement, he said: This case, with evidence of hangmans nooses, vile racist graffiti, and race-based work assignments, proves that even after these many years, there is work to be done to eradicate pernicious racial hatred and discrimination. We . . . will continue [such prosecutions] until this toxic workplace behavior is eradicated.
Maatman said he expects to see fewer such cases in the future.
In the past, he said, the agency concentrated its cases on failures to promote minorities and women, or to pay them equally. Now the bulk of investigations are looking at systemic discrimination in hiringat the gateways to employment, at the impediments or criteria that employers are using, he explained.
He anticipates a growing number of cases in the next two years related to discrimination against job applicants based on the use of criminal background checks. The EEOC sees these checks as ways to discriminate against African American and Latino job applicants, he said.
Employers say they have an interest in hiring people who they feel are safe to interact with customers and other employees, Maatman said. But the EEOC has issued guidance restricting background checks.
Theres not a lot of case law on it right now, Maatman added, but he warned employers to watch for it to develop over the coming months.

EEOC 2012 Report Shows Fewer Discrimination Suits, More Investigations

Investigations can lead to discrimination lawsuits. Its definitely not something people should feel at ease about. Investigations are the first step and a lack of an investigation can also lead to a discrimination lawsuit. Employers should take this story with caution and be more vigilant on these equality issues.

This dish was fun and super easy to make! I got this recipe from my friend Logan after I had tried it at a party of his and absolutely loved it. I just substituted healthier versions of the ingredients in order to lower the calorie and fat content and the dip turned out great! This recipe is around 120 calories per serving as opposed to a typical spinach and artichoke dish being around 250 calories!! I also served this dip with baked tostitos which are much better for you than regular tostito chips. I would suggest, however, if you are throwing a party to double this recipe as it only makes what you see in the picture and I can assure you, it will go fast!!

After seeing this thread: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1659 I decided to make a save manager for Towns. This is the end result.
TownsSaveManager is a .NET application, deisgned to allow Towns players to have more control over the saves inside of towns. The application allows the creation, deletion, and renaming of worlds. Unfortunately, Towns (as of version 0.42b) does not contain an ingame save manager. So this is the best alternative! It require .NET Framework v4.0 and only runs on windows for that reason (i doubt it will work under Wine or Mono, because of where Towns stores game data).
- Create, delete and rename maps
- Full control over map type. Select one from the list, or create your own!
- Validation on map type creation, simply load the files you want for your type and BINGO, new map type!
- Import & Export Maps! Never lose your precious saves again!
- Import & Map types! Now you can share map generation XML files with your friends.
- Create map types, form either pre made XML files, or your own custom XML
- Works with 0.42b and above!
- Preferences dialog for choosing game version (altering the location that saves are looked for in!)
- Automatically backs up saves when towns isn't running!
- Restore saves form backup
Home Screen:
Map Menu:
Map type Menu:
Map Creation:
Map renaming:
1. Navigate to your Towns installation folder:
eg: "C:\program files\Towns"
2. Extract all of the content of the downloaded zip to that folder (the folder should contain Towns.exe)
3. Launch the application, you may want to make a shortcut to it!
- You May NOT distribute this without the express permission of Tom K.
- The author is in NO WAY responsible for any damages caused by the use of this application. Backup your files and be careful!
- The author is not responsible for loss of game progress due to accidental deletion by the user. once the save is gone, it's gone!

Mu husband and I have a 7 month old baby so we were very concerned about travelling with the baby but Courtyard by Marriott made our stay easy and... enjoyable. We've stayed at several hotels in Miami but have never seen such amazing customer service. They also provided us with a crib for the baby and anything else we requested. They were always willing to help. Their restaurant is very clean and their food is good! They have a nice pool area for those who don't want to go to the beach. Being an oceanfront hotel, their is a long board walk that can be easily access through the hotel for a morning jog or walk along the beach. They have free internet access and free coffee in the lounge. For those starbucks lovers, you can also buy starbucks coffee in the hotel. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed our stay and would return in the future. av en hotels.com-gjest den 07.02.2013

user beware
Par frugal shopper
de Brampton, Ontario
After having used this product for several months, I saw a change in my nails, they became dry brittle and damages. In the end the product did more damage than good. I will not use again.A complete waste of money.
not a very good product
Par Christa
de Vancouver
I had very nice nails before I used this product. I used it for 4 weeks and my nails brock and became very brittle. It looks good on the nails but it ruins them, now I need my TIPS to build them up again.
I WAS in love with this product.
Par KikiDEE
de Southwestern Ontario
Note the past tense. I loved how it made my nails look healthy and pink and how long lasting it was however, either I got a bad batch last time or they have changed the formula. It doesn't last on me anymore like it used to. It is peeling after one day. I only gave it 2 stars for the pink colour alone. It is not what it used to be. I doubt I will purchase it anymore.
Great Product
Par DORINDA

Very excellent product - my nails look lovely and healthy. The auto ship doesn't work for me, though - would rather just purchase as I need it as a little goes a long way.
Love them!
Par Beauty shopper

I have been using these nail gels for about a month now, and my nails look fantasic! It looks like I am getting my nails done all of the time. I am very happy with them, and will continue to buy them.
I would buy this product again.
Par Streak
de London,Ontario
I was going to nail salon to get gel nails.Hard to get out being health compromized.Tried these products and would use nothing else now.Nails which split and peeled are now strong and beautiful.Presenter said nail file would never break.It is a great file,does a great job but so far 2 files have broken in their protective case not even being dropped.
splitting nails!!!
Par Stelle
de Saskatchewan
I could not agree more with Loutor - this product is awful!! When using it my nails were constantly splitting, even after removing the product every second day (tried once/week at first, that didn't last even two days!). It's now been over a month since I stopped using the product and my nails are in the worst shape they've ever been. Still splitting and soooo weak. Not impressed with this product at all!!!!
Par Glennis
I didn't have much luck with this product but I'm writing this review for my daughter. She loves it and says she will never be without it again. Thinks it is absolutely fabulous! Her nails have grown long and strong, they do break occasionally but they have never been more beautiful. She loves the new pink gel coat also to have a natural look. Jackie paints her nails about every three days and loves the product.

2nd time I try this line
Par loutor
de Montreal, Qc
Got caught trying it again. listened to the girl talk about on the late sping. After 2 months my nails were splitting and peeling like never before. was able to send most of it back. this on my do not list. the only good thing was the christal file.
Love, Love, Love these Products
Par Lover of Life
de Toronto, ON
Well, I believe I have now gone through the entire gambit of TSC nail systems and I have found the perfect one for me. The pink and the natural gel coat are top quality and apply perfectly. The high gloss and coating have excellent staying power and the look is hard to differentiate from a salon gel coat.I am soooo pleased with the look of my nails on an everyday basis. Need a touch-up, don't get in the car and pay a fortune, just apply a dab or an entire coat of Perfect Formula gel coat.In addition, I am so glad I purchased this top flight product on auto-delivery at an excellent value.Thank you PF and TSC......

I am erecting scaffolding to fix the gutter on my roof and want to secure the scaffolding without drilling holes in the concrete of the home. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can secure the scaffolding? | |||
You really don't want to and shouldn't have to do this. If you spend a little time with the first level of scaffolding to make sure that it's level and that each leg is supported so it does not sink in the ground, then there is no need to connect the scaffold to the house. In addition to that, the scaffold is going to move and sway a little. If you try to connect it to the house then it's just going to tear off something at the connection point. Jaybee | ||||
I've never once seen scaffolding use to install or fix a gutter. My first question is why? A ladder with a standoff off more then enough. joecaption | ||||
I've tied electrical wire to the scaffolding, ran it into an open window, and tied off to something strong inside. It worked. If I don't trust it, I'd rather be safe than sorry.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr, | ||||
you defeat the purpose by tying scaffold to the structure. it is supposed to be self-supporting to X amount of wind when assembled correctly (I have no clue what the X is, but if it wasn't at least 25 mph, there wouldn't be a stick of the stuff standing worldwide in 24 hours.) if you have really creepy loose active soil, you may have to compact it, and might still end up with those "bigfoot" plates. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
The purpose of tying it off is "safety". I'll take that any day. Not tying it is ok when you've got asphalt or concrete or very stable ground. But when you've got heavy employees or heavy stuff being carried up, tying if off is smart. In fact, recently, I know one guy that would not have broken his leg if he had tied off his scaffolding. | ||||

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket for Men:
I love this jacket. It is definitely a layering piece; but it would be great on its own to be worn on a more cooler day. I went to the coast and although I was warm with this jacket, I could definitely have used an outer shell to walk around more without feeling too cold. Overall, however, it is a great piece!
Comment on this review
Warm 'n Fuzzy
By Adventure Dan
from Caro, MI
See all my reviews
I've only worn it for a few days however I am impressed so far. I didn't think it would be nearly as warm as it is. It's actually very warm, although not sure how it would stand up to wind. That being said, worn under a shell it would make the perfect mid layer. The sleeves seem a bit long though, not sure why the design allowed for such long sleeves, but if I find out I will pass it along!

About Me Avid Adventurer
Wore my Monkey Man fleece in the low 40's a couple of nights. It is a close fit versus a loose fit jacket, which kept me toasty yet didn't feel stifling. I will be using this also as a mid-layer in cold weather, but haven't tried it out for that yet.The only negative is that my wife is trying to steal it from me.

MOMSnext: Jackie Brown: Freezing Food and Warming Hearts by Matthew Vermillion
Meet a mom on the move: Jackie Brown is the founder of Cook and Play, a nonprofit freezer cooking ministry in North Carolina. She serves on the Steering Team for her MOPS group in Ashville and is a wife, mother of four, teacher and homemaker.
How can I, a mom with a baby on my hip and a toddler in tow, possibly have time to reach out and serve my community? How can I be a good mother and still have a positive impact in my world? These were the questions Jackie Brown found herself asking a few years ago when she started an event called a "Cook and Play."
She explains, "A Cook and Play consists of two to four women who gather for freezer cooking while their little ones have a play date." Moms take turns watching the children as the sauce simmers, pasta boils and meat browns.
With a teaching background in home economics and some mad skills when it comes to freezer cooking, Jackie helps moms create fuss-free meals made from whole foods they can serve even in those dinner "crunch times."
Then, one day, the answer to her question hit her. "We were providing food for our families in a fun, creative way," she says. "But all those moms cooking and freezing meals created an overabundance. We soon realized the extra food was a blessing we could share with others." Jackie and her mom friends recognized the unique opportunity this presented to reach out into their community. So they started donating frozen casseroles to the local shelter for homeless women and children and going to volunteer on the days the meals were served.
This turned out to be a great outreach experience for Jackie and for her children. Since the first day she went and served meals in 2007, Jackie has volunteered at the shelter once a month.
She turned "Cook and Play" from an event into a nonprofit organization to equip women with the fundamentals of freezer cooking and serving others. The organization's mission comes out of Proverbs 31: "She provides food for her family … and while she opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy."
Jackie has been a MOPS mom for 10 years and says her group has always been a source of support and networking. Now her MOPS group is partnering with Cook and Play for a service project to cook and serve food for that same local homeless shelter.
Participating in a MOPS group allows Jackie to hear and see what kind of support moms need. And she has developed a blog called Mom on a Mission (momonamission.me) to help address those needs.
By asking what more she could do and coming up with creative answers, Jackie has mobilized moms to provide healthy meals for their own families. And these moms in turn provide hope for families in their community to whom a hot meal means a lot more than just dinner.

What's Murmurs?
Murmurs are Mingle's way of capturing unstructured project information that is already being shared among team members via external tools, inside Mingle. It is a way for team members to collaborate and share project data that don't necessarily, conveniently or easily fit into the current card and page concepts in Mingle, but is relevant project information. Users can "Murmur" messages to the project from inside Mingle, via a new tab called "Murmurs" and using an external Jabber chat room using an external chat client. These "Murmurs" will be captured in Mingle so that knowledge and information about the project is shared in a common space.
Users can Murmur from inside Mingle using the new Murmurs tab. All projects are, by default, configured to have Murmurs enabled. This means that each new project created will have a Murmurs tab and the Murmurs capability enabled unless it is specifically turned off. If required, Project and Mingle admins may also enable Murmurs to use an external Jabber chat room, which means that users will also be able to Murmur via an external chat client. To set-up the external Murmurs please see Administering project Murmurs settings.
Templates do not have Murmurs functionality.
Murmurs card links
Like other areas in Mingle (such as source revisions), murmurs content renders card and wiki page links so that murmurs provide links to other information stored in Mingle. These card links work by using the existing project card keywords. In addition to providing links to other cards and pages, murmurs that are associated with a card are also displayed on the card in the Comments/Murmurs section of the card. To associate a murmur with a card either murmur from a card or include a link to that card in the content of you murmur.
In Mingle 3.1, most card links in Mingle will display a tooltip to show you the name of the card when you hover your mouse over the card links. This allows users to better understand the context of any content (comments, murmurs or card descriptions) which contain the card links.
Please note that when murmurs are displayed on a card there is a small navigation icon at the end of each murmur. When you click on this icon it will take you to that murmur on the Murmurs tab. This will allow you to understand that murmur in the context of other murmurs that occurred before or after it.

Quinn was risking everything in hope of getting so much more in return. My Faberry one shot based on rumors of 3x14.
- 1,800 words -
Feet don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
All my heart, it breaks every step that I take
All week Quinn had held it in. Despite agreeing to help Rachel – her speech on not having a mother to do all wedding preparation with had softened her - she wasn't onboard with everything.
She bit her tongue when Rachel showed her wedding dress photos from bridal magazines Kurt had collected for her – Quinn was annoyed that he had given in to her so easily. She stifled her remarks when Rachel asked for advice on which floral arrangement looked best with the tablecloths. She even offered to lend her favorite blue topaz jeweled bracelet for Rachel to wear – it was tradition after all. But when Rachel dragged all the girls down to their small towns only bridal shop, and paraded around in pretty white dresses, she had had enough. Rachel Berry was so much more than this. She was so much more than Finn. Marrying at a young age was a mistake, a huge mistake, and for some reason (a reason she didn't dare try to understand) hated to see her get hurt. With a sigh, she stood up and headed for the door.
Rachel's small voice called out to her before she reached for the handle.
"Wh- …Quinn? Where are you going?" She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breathe before turning around. Rachel's brown doe eyes were wide, her eyebrows crunched together in confusion. If Quinn weren't so mad she'd smile at the adorable sight.
"Rachel, I tried to be there for you this week, I really tried, but I don't agree with what you're doing. And I'm sorry, but I'm not going to stand around and watch you ruin your life by marrying Finn Hudson". Rachel's mouth dropped open and was visibly having difficulty coming up with a reply. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sugar, Tina and Mercedes make a break for the back room. Brittany was tugging on Santana's pink bridesmaids dress, clearly wanting to join them, but Santana looked far to comfy sprawled out on the sofa, watching them both with a smirk. Looking back at the fuming Rachel, she took in her bright red face.
"Ruin my life?!" Rachel scoffed loudly. "You think I'm ruining my life by marrying the love of my life? Quinn please don't tell me you're trying to steal him back. When are you going to realize it is over between you two!"
Quinn laughed humorlessly. Taking a step towards the brunette, she placed her hands on her hips.
"You say we're friends Rachel. So here I am, being your friend, trying to stop you before it's too late!"
"This is what I want Quinn. I don't expect you to agree with it, but please try to understand it".
Shaking her head, she threw up her hands in exasperation. "You're too young! Even you can't possibly know this is what you want!"
"Why do you care so much!?" Rachel clenched her fist and stomped her foot. "Why can't you be like Kurt and just accept this and be HAPPY FOR ME?"
"Because I love you!" The confession ripped out of her, stunning not only herself but also everyone in the room. A hand flew to her mouth and she gasped for breath. She loved Rachel Berry. Oh god, of course! How did she not see it sooner? Her past – one she'd rather forget – flashed through her mind and she saw everything, every horrible word, every horrible action, with such clarity. The defeminizing comments, the porn doodling's in the girl's bathroom, her jealously towards every one of Rachel's relationships. Love and hate really was such a fine line.
Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
Rachel's face went white and she looked down, suddenly finding the spotless white carpet incredibly interesting.
"W-wh-what?" Quinn heard her stammer softly. Taking a shaky breath, she stepped towards the trembling girl. It was now or never.
"I love you. Oh god, I love you and I'm begging you not do this, because the thought of you marrying him is killing me. The thought of you with anyone is killing me. You deserve someone who will give you what ever you ever want, who will never disappoint you, who will never leave you, and who will spend their entire life loving you. Please Rachel. Don't get married. Please". Quinn knew she looked desperate, crazy. She was risking everything by admitting her feelings; her reputation, her family, her self-esteem. But if Rachel ever returned those feelings, it would all be worth it. This tiny brunette before her was everything she could want, and it amazed Quinn that she only realized this today.
But I'm hoping that the gates,
They'll tell me that you're mine
Can you make it feel like home,
if I tell you you're mine
A small smile graced Rachel's delicate face, and hope soared through Quinn, alighting her senses. The pure joy was almost crippling. But as quickly as it had come, was ripped away.
Rachel's face became hard. "I think you should leave, Quinn". Now it was her turn to be shocked. Her face crumpled. Rejection, oh how used to it she was…but from Rachel? It hurt more than anything.
Reaching for her, she whispered Rachel's name. With a shake of her head, Rachel stepped back.
"Don't. I can't do this right now. Please, Quinn, just go".
Blinking back rapidly approaching tears, she turned and left the shop, with her heartbreaking every step.
Don't make me sad,
Don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don't know why
* * *
An infuriating buzzing woke her from her pain filled slumber and Quinn rolled over, squinting open her puffy eyes. Her phone, thrown on the floor after an argument with Kurt last night, cast her dark room in a glow as it continued to ring. With a groan, she pulled back the covers and padded over to it. The caller ID surprised her. Rachel. She hadn't tried to contact her since the bridal shop incident 8 days ago. While pressing the red button, putting her straight to voicemail, the date caught her attention. May 21st. Today was the wedding. Judging by what she heard from Santana it still was going on. No one had dared tell Finn about her confession and it obviously hadn't affected Rachel enough to call it off. By 3pm, 2 hours from now, Rachel Berry would become Rachel Hudson and there was nothing she could do about it.
Her phone came to life, once again displaying Rachel's name and she sighed. Preparing herself, she answered.
"What do you want?" She was met with an intake of breathe. "…Rachel?"
"You answered". Rachel's voice was shaky. Quinn rolled her eyes.
"That's generally what people do when someone calls them.."
"No I.. I mean, I've been trying to get hold of you all day".
Quinn sat down on the edge of her bed. "Why?" She chewed her lip in anticipation.
"I'm getting married today". Quinn clenched her phone, fighting the urge to hang up.
"Did you call to rub it in or..?"
"What? No! Of course not! I…" There was a sigh followed by a small sob that had Quinn's heart hurting.
"Rach? What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Even after everything I did to you, you still care?"
"Love is a funny thing". She heard a rustling of fabric, followed by a door closing and all background sound disappeared. Quinn opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Rachel's quick rambling.
"I'm so sorry Quinn. I'm so sorry. I can't believe how horribly I treated you, making you leave like that. This whole week I've gone over everything you said and I'm so stupid. So stupid-"
Quinn frowned. "What are you talking about?"
Rachel sniffed, and took a deep breath. "You were right about everything. I don't want to marry Finn, and I'm so scared it's too late. What kind of person would I be to just leave him at the altar? And for what? How do I know you and I would work out?"
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Quinn refused to let herself hope again just yet. "I just know".
"I need more than that Quinn. I'm about to leave everything I've ever known for some fantasy. If I do this and lose you, I'll have nothing. I need you to promise me you'll be here".
There was a knock on a door and Quinn heard Kurt's muffled voice demand to know why Rachel was looking "puffier than a cream puff". Banter was exchanged between the two – Rachel's being forced – before the two uncertain lovers were left alone once again.
"Can you come? I-I need you", Rachel's voice faded into a broken whisper, "I can't do this alone".
Quinn was up and getting dressed before she replied. "I'll be right there".
Feet don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Hanging up, Rachel clutched her phone to her hand and snuck out of the room to peek into the chapel's main room where her wedding would never take place. Her throat closed up as she saw Finn in a conversation with Puck across the room. He looked happy. So very happy, and it pained her to know in just a few short hours she would break his heart. He looked up suddenly, as if he knew he was being watched, and caught her eye. He gave her a lopsided grin and she forced herself to smile back, hoping her glistening eyes wouldn't give herself away just yet.
Backing away once again into the privacy of her dressing room, she texted Quinn.
Her phone buzzed almost immediately with Quinn's quick reply. "On my way". A sense of peace consumed her. Quinn was coming. Everything will be okay.
At an intersection, just 5 minutes from the chapel, onlookers watched in horror as two cars collided, with the screech of tires, sounding of the horn, and a crunch of metal.
Then there was silence.
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die

INTERPOL Washington's Counterterrorism Division
How I landed the internship:
I applied and was recommended by Homeland Security Investigations, with whom I had previously interned last summer.
What it's like working for INTERPOL:
I am doing research and data processing of pertinent figures in piracy. I'm also doing research in the counter proliferations field, which pertains to stolen domestic, sensitive technology.
The biggest surprise so far:
I'm realizing how competitive the field is, as well as what is required in order to obtain an agent position within federal law enforcement. Not too long ago, an associate's degree (along with military service) was sufficient enough. However, today a bachelor's degree is simply not enough. The typical agent has greatly evolved, which is not necessarily portrayed to the general public.
Post-graduation plans:
I intend to enlist in the Air Force or Army following college for several years. Following this I would like to obtain my master's degree. I will then have a realistic shot at obtaining an agent position with Homeland Security Investigations.

Galaxy expansion & cosmological constant |

Galaxy expansion & cosmological constant
Hi Astro forum... I have got something to clarify which came across my mind as I was trying to answer few problems.So without any further delay , let's start :
For simplicity we will assume that dark matter doesn't influence the center of mass of galaxy A. Now let's say galaxy A has mass 'M' concentrated at the center with a separation distance of 'r' from the edge. In this case with simple arithmetic manipulation we get : [itex]V_{escape}[/itex] = [itex]\sqrt{GM/r}[/itex] Now I know that at shorter separation distances gravitational forces overwhelm ( i.e are greater) than cosmological constant , and then using Hubble's law v = [itex]H_{0}[/itex] r( assuming redshift is inteperted as doppler shift) .. so far it all makes sense... But if I am asked to prove that Vesc >> v ... I was thinking of something as following: [itex]V_{escape}[/itex] = [itex]\sqrt{GM/r}[/itex] Squaring both sides to get: [itex]V_{escape}^2[/itex] = [tex]2GM/r[/tex] which gives r = [itex]2GM/ V_{escape}^2[/itex] Now as said previously v = [itex]H_{0} r[/itex] so v = [itex]H_{0} 2 GM / V_{escp^2} [/itex] [itex]V_{escp^2} = H_{0} *2 GM / v [/itex] Gives us [itex]V_{escp} \propto[/itex] [itex]v^{-1/2}[/itex] Is this suffice enough to prove Vesc >> v ? am I on the dot on this one ? Any input is appreciated. -ibysaiyan EDIT: Oh why are my latex command showing up.. hm.. edit2: latex error fixed |

I have no idea what it is you're trying to prove here, but whatever it is, you're going about it wrong. First off, you state that you want to prove [itex] V_{esc} \gg v[/itex], what is [itex]v[/itex]? The characteristic velocity of stars in the galaxy? I have absolutely no idea what it is you're trying to derive, it just looks like mindless symbol manipulation and combination of equations which leads me to the second point...
Doing anything on a galactic scale, you cannot use Hubble's velocity relation. It's not merely that the recessional velocities predicted by it will be much smaller than typical velocities of galactic motion (is this what you're trying to prove???), hubble expansion DOESN'T HAPPEN in gravitationally bound clusters. Furthermore, this is completely separate from the cosmological constant! In a traditional Lambda-CDM model, the density of dark energy is constant, and gravitationally bound objects (like our galaxy) will stay gravitationally bound indefinitely. (I say traditional because there are some models in which Lambda is somehow a function of time, and grows, leading to 'big rip' scenarios). As a final point, your equation for escape velocity is incorrect: [tex]v_{esc}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}[/tex] While [tex]v_{orbit}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}[/tex] Where this [itex]v_{orbit}[/itex] is the velocity of a circular orbit of radius r. |
Feb12-12, 04:46 PM | #3 |
I think it would be helpful if I post the actual question than wrongly restating it. When you say: 1) Does that refer to a cluster of galaxies ? 2) if dark energy density stays constant does that mean it's homogeneous , as in not being concentrated at a point ? Here's the question: http://i42.tinypic.com/8wzh20.png P.S : 'v' is the recessional speed of the galaxy. |

Galaxy expansion & cosmological constantNow that I understand the question though, your calculation in post 1 is incorrect. There is a scaling relationship between the two equations: on some scales, one velocity dominates, while on others, the opposite is true. Therefore, the way to do it is to calculate the characteristic velocities of both, and then compare them. (i.e. assume typical scales for M and r). |
Feb12-12, 09:08 PM | #5 |
Do I find a set of equations relating recessional speed using Hubble's constant and v_esc in the above equation ? Apart from the escape velocity given ~ 10-3 c (300km/s) and Hubble's constant ~ 75km/s/Mpc there isn't much given. Hm.. EDIT: I took some arbitrary points and the results which i ended up with are: Hubble speed of 757*10^-3 km/s for separation distance of 2.6*1-^17 km... when I plug the same distance in v_escapre equation.. it gives 300km/s ... |
