fractions. Here is a chance to explore how they could have written
different fractions.
Can all unit fractions be written as the sum of two unit fractions?
Can you tangle yourself up and reach any fraction?
It would be nice to have a strategy for disentangling any tangled
The sum of the numbers 4 and 1 [1/3] is the same as the product of 4 and 1 [1/3]; that is to say 4 + 1 [1/3] = 4 × 1 [1/3]. What other numbers have the sum equal to the product and can this be so for. . . .
What would you get if you continued this sequence of fraction sums?
1/2 + 2/1 =
2/3 + 3/2 =
3/4 + 4/3 =

Erica Durance guest stars on Kelley's "Harry's Law" as a woman who "believes" she's Wonder Woman. Well, Kelley's version of Wonder Woman because she's not wearing the classic bathing suit she's wearing the costume designed (redesigned actually) for the NBC's failed pilot.
You remember seeing this a lot last Spring on Adrianne Palicki
TV Guide has an interview with Durance about taking on the role of another first lady of DC after her run as Lois Lane in Smallville. About the costume she says:
Lasso of truth time: Best part of wearing the costume and the worst part of wearing the costume.
Durance: The best part is the corset, believe it or not, because it gives you a tiny little waist, making you sit up really straight. I would say the most uncomfortable part is tight, stretchy pants because, well, you know what you feel like when you're wearing tight, stretchy pants. You just have to be careful everything is appropriate.
But would you have wanted the underwear version of the costume though?
Durance: [Laughs] I'm very grateful for the pants. I know that people were very excited about the underwear and seeing them. To be quite frank, I don't know if I could've done the underwear justice at this point in time and it might have been more upsetting for people to see me in them than to not, so I think the pants are a safe bet for me.
Oh I don't know Erica. You rocked this non-pants version of Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman hotness!
Can Erica Durance play Wonder Woman, please?
OMG Erica Durance.

You've Got a Voice- Use It
When I watched President Obama's acceptance speech in 2008, I was in college in Montana, with the gray wall of late autumn boxing us into our dorm room. I got texts and calls from friends in Chicago rushing to stand among the hundreds of thousands of people packed into Grant Park- bundled up and involuntarily pressed together for warmth as Barack Obama gave his victory speech.
Far away in Montana, I cried. It was my first election I was old enough to vote in. I felt, for the first time, a part of something magnificent and big. I was even more surprised that the swelling in my chest wasn't from the fact that my guy won, but from watching a landscape of faces, many as young as my own, weep and hold each other as one man promised a future that we voted for. We did. I looked at those faces, and then at the face of Barack Obama, and realized that we chose him. It was an agency I had never felt before.
Also, I had made some really delicious red, white, and blue cupcakes. I had a lot to be proud of.
Four years later, I can't imagine giving up the right to have my tiny, but very opinionated, voice heard. The power to vote is often undermined by people saying one voice does not matter. That skipping out on voting isn't a big deal, what can it change? But throwing your hat in the ring is a vulnerable step. It's hoping, it's betting, and it's finding out that your voice is remarkably similar to voices of people you've never met, and maybe never will. It allows you to take responsibility for the world you're creating, and realize you can't do it alone.
Your voice matters because what we're striving for, what we're going for as a United States of America, is finally reaching that explosive chorus. Where we as a nation can speak up at once and harmonize without dissonance. And we can't do that if you stay quiet. We can't do that without practice, without trust, and without a certain amount of risk.
I have been so proud to see so many local artists using their voices, voices that many fans believe in because of what their music means, to encourage everyone to take a stand for what they believe in. From Macklemore's "Same Love" to The Head and the Heart's video for Obama, to Musicians for Marriage Equality, they have demonstrated passion and conviction in humanity that gives me both Seattle pride, and American pride. The good kind. The kind with guitars, and fewer angry YouTube comments.
And with that- I won't waffle either:
As it is today, we are facing a critical time in the nation. The civil rights of many people, from the gay community, to women, are being questioned and threatened. We are in the middle of an economy that is on the rise, but still struggling. (Not that I know- as a writer, I am pretty much set for life). I did not write this piece to tiptoe around my views. I believe that civil rights are not a bi-partisan issue. I believe they are a fundamental right, and regardless of party line, whoever opposes basic rights like the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, or Ref. 74, will not get my vote.
I'm all for gray area when it comes to taxes and how to get the economy on its feet. These are tough issues, and opinions are scattered, varied, and valid. I have much to learn about them. But making the nation an equal playing ground for human rights is not a gray area. America has worked so hard for civil rights in its fledgling life, and to elect someone who wants to halt that brave progress is outrageous and damaging. Just to make myself clear.
That was my risk. If people I admire, people whose music inspires me, can say what they mean so boldly, then so can I.
So risk it. Take a stand. Listen to other voices (I'm having lunch with a coworker who does not particularly agree with me, but is still a lovely human), inform yourself, find what you believe, because when you do, and when you start to hope- that's when politics becomes more than bickering and pundits. That's when it becomes the vehicle we have to get where we want to go.

But anyway, I'm not sure if I'll record this for real, for real, but I'm sure I'll figure that out later. Also, enjoy my dad's cameo appearance at the end. Makes the song haha.

Home Improvement: Spring Cleaning Tips 2012Posted by Lindsey Wolkoff in Resources,Tips & Tricks | June 11, 2012
The spring cleaning list is either long or short depending upon if you are a homeowner or a renter but many of the following tips apply to both. These few home improvement tips listed below can help get you well on your way to the warmer sunny weather.
- Clean the Dryer vent and vent hose to prevent risk of fire. It will ensure maximum performance from your appliance and consume less energy. Over 15 thousand fires annually require a fire department response and of those 70% are attributed to the failure to clean the vent and hose.
- Dust under the refrigerator to help keep it operating at maximum efficiency. This will also help avoid the buildup of moisture which can lead to mold and mildew.
- Don't forget the exhaust fan in the bathroom; it can accumulate dust that decreases it efficiency. Also inspect to see that moisture is exiting the house properly to reduce the risk of mold in your attic space.
- Use a Power Strip for your TV and entertainment equipment. It will protect them from an electrical surge that can happen during thunderstorms. When you only need to push one button, it helps to make it simple to power down the household if you are planning to be away. The same goes for the computer and its accessory devices as well.
- Most appliances, TV's VCR's and other electronics, have an internal clock that continues to run even if the device is turned off. Putting these devices on a power strip and regulating those which need to be on, saves energy that over time will add up to some big savings. This is especially true if you are going to be away for more than one week at a time.
- Think Energy Star when considering replacement of any major appliances specifically for window unit air conditioners. Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill and greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR products help you make the energy efficient choice.
- Whether your home has window units or central air with forced air ducts, cleaning all air conditioner filters is a must. The air passing through a filter only gets slowed down when it's dirty, making your equipment work harder and consume more energy. Secondly, fresh air inside the home is critically important. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that indoor air pollution is one of the top five environmental risks to public health.
- Check the exterior vent openings for the bathroom exhaust, the range hood for the stove and the dryer vent. They should all be clear of obstructions and lint free. This ensures that all the work you may have done on the inside remains beneficial and is not impeded because of a blocked exit from the household.
- Make your fall clean up easy and label all storm windows that are exchanged for warm weather screens as they are removed. This improves how quickly you can reinstall your storm windows, especially when it is more likely to be chilly outdoors when you decide it is time to put them back.
- Even though you may be a serious DIYer there is no shame in having your lawn mower serviced by professionals. One task you will never regret asking them to perform is to have them sharpen the blade. When the mower blade cuts clean it is healthier for your lawn, makes your time more efficient and the look of your finished product will make you proud.

Former Sen. Judd Gregg (R., N.H.) was tapped Monday to head the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, joining a list of Washington insiders hired by Wall Street firms and their trade groups to help combat regulatory and political pressure.
Mr. Gregg, who also served two terms as New Hampshire's governor, lamented during a conference call with reporters the "rise of populism" in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis that has led to wide spread criticism of large financial services firms. Wall Street needs to "reconnect" with rank-and-file citizens, Mr. Gregg said, making the case that the financial services industry is a "huge positive force on Main Street for creating jobs."
He joins SIFMA, which counts Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of America Corp. among its many members, at a key time for the financial services sector. U.S. and international regulators are in the process of finalizing a range of rules that could reshape large swaths of the industry. There is also growing political pressure to address concerns that some banks remain so large they put outsized risks on the economy as a whole… Read More »

Although the Los Angeles Clippers would like to finish off a trade that would give them Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers, that possibility doesn't seem nearly as likely as it was just a few days ago with the talks again breaking down Friday night.
The Clippers could be moving on from Rivers and may be closing in with another one of their targets – Byron Scott.
ESPN's Chris Broussard, citing a source, says "Clippers president Andy Roeser has broached financial parameters of a potential contract with Scott's representatives."
Scott was the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers the last three and broke into the league as a head coach with the New Jersey Nets from 2000-2004. Scott led the Nets to the finals in both 2002 and 2003, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs.
After being fired by the Nets in 2004, Scott became the head coach of the New Orleans Hornets, where he coached current Clippers superstar Chris Paul. Paul and Scott remain close and according to Broussard, "golfed and dined together recently."
Scott's career record of 416-521 doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, but he's been in some difficult situations. His record is skewed because of the lack of talent the post-LeBron James Cavaliers had. He was 64-166 in Cleveland.

There is probably no comic leading man in Hollywood right now hotter than Steve Carell. It seems each week there is another project announced with the actor/comedian attached and this week is no different.Read More »
We know it's pretty much the heart of the summer, but if you have plans to spend the last weekend of July doing anything other than sit in a movie theater, you might want to consider rearranging them. On one of the busiest release dates in recent memory, there seems to be something for everyone: blockbuster fans get "Cowboys & Aliens," lovers of cult films get "Attack the Block," those who like "Scarface"-esque dramas with breakout lead performances get Dominic Cooper in "The Devil's Double," indie types get Miranda July's "The Future" or Brendan Gleeson in sweary Irish action-comedy "The Guard," subtitle-philes get French thriller "Point Bla...Read More »

Considering how long it takes to actually get a movie made -- even the most hard-working of filmmakers can go three or four years between projects, through no fault of their own -- it's not surprising that many A-list screenwriters, or writer-directors, get through the lean years by taking script doctor gigs. It's fast, well-paid work, it rarely amounts to more than a dialogue polish, as the films are generally too close to production for major structural changes to take place, and, if the film turns out badly, it doesn't reflect badly on you, as any doctoring generally goes uncredited, which is why names from John Sayles to Joss Whedon have ...Read More »
Well, this is an interesting bit of casting.

This business moves fast. We'd barely finished hitting 'publish' on a post about "Community" star Gillian Jacobs joining the Steve Carell/Keira Knightley comedy-drama "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," and our inbox pinged with a press release from Focus Features, who recently acquired the...Read More »
Most comedians, once they're anointed stars, use their newfound fame to sign on to seemingly dozens of projects, reaching a kind of overexposure in speedy time. After the success of "The 40 Year Old Virgin," it seemed as though Steve Carell was heading that way, with the likes of "Evan Almighty" and "Get Smart," roles that could have been filled by any comic star, clogging up his big screen appearances. But to his credit, now that he's freeing up his schedule by departing "The Office" last week, he's taking on more interesting roles -- the excellent-looking comedy "Crazy, Stupid, Love" lands this summer, and he's got more dramatic projects li...Read More »
It may have suffered somewhat in recent seasons from a dip in form, especially compared to the superior nature of most of the rest of the NBC comedy line-up -- "Community," "Parks and Recreation" and "30 Rock" -- but for the most part, we've immensely enjoyed the last seven seasons of "The Office." While it may not be as near-flawless as the BBC series on which it was based, it's remained remarkably consistent across over ten times the length, thanks to a star-making performance from lead Steve Carell, and one of the deepest, richest comedic ensembles around, one that's helped to launch names like John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and Ed Helms, a...Read More »
It's got to be hard for a director to walk away from a feature-directing gig. If you're lucky, you get to make a film once every couple of years, and, while some helmers are able to boost their income with rewrite work or commercials, or TV and music videos gigs, sometimes that one feature is your only income. But at the same time, you only get to make a certain number of movies in a career, and if the stars aren't aligning correctly, sometimes the only thing you can do is pack your bags. It's not an uncommon occurence -- Guillermo Del Toro leaving "The Hobbit" and Darren Aronofsky bailing on "The Wolverine" being two recent examples -- and i...Read More »

Message from Daniel Sokatch
These are tough but also inspiring times for progressive supporters of Israel. Those of us who cherish the forward-thinking, outward-looking, democratic and prophetic vision enshrined in Israel's Declaration of Independence work to protect this vision from proponents of harsh, exclusionary ultra-nationalism. 2010 saw a raft of anti-democratic bills, still pending in the Knesset, that would require loyalty oaths for non-Jews, de-fund and demonize human rights organizations, and strip non-Orthodox rabbis of the authority to preside over State-recognized conversions. And just yesterday, the Knesset plenum approved the proposal of Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beitenu party to set up a parliamentary committee to investigate Israeli human rights organizations that monitor IDF actions.
Katsav's Conviction a Win for Women's Rights and the Rule of Law
On Thursday, after a long and arduous judicial process, former Israeli president Moshe Katsav was convicted for rape and sexual harassment.
The verdict validated Israel's democratic institutions and demonstrated that no one – not even Israel's leaders – is above the law. The conviction was also a victory for the women's rights organizations of the NIF family. Despite the sadness and shame of the conviction, many Israelis see it as a vindication of the right of women to live in equality, dignity and safety.
Clean Air Law Comes Into Force
Israel's long-awaited Clean Air Law came into effect on January 1, 2011. The Law was enacted in 2008 following the initiative of NIF grantee Israel Union of Environmental Defense (IUED), which formulated the law, spent five years lobbying for its passage and campaigned with other NIF-supported green organizations to court public opinion. IUED is supported by NIF through the Green Environment Fund.
Jerusalem United as 160 Arab and Jewish Children Come Together
One hundred and sixty Jewish and Arab children from neighborhoods throughout Jerusalem took part in a unique soccer tournament called "Football for All" to mark the end of International Human Rights Week on December 18. The tournament was organized by Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem, one of three professional teams in Israel set up by fans, and supported and funded by NIF's Kick Racism Out of Israeli Football campaign.
Government Minister and MK's support third sector's work for women's equality in workplace
SHATIL's targeted campaign to combat gender inequalities in the public sector took a significant step forward as a top Ministry of Finance official declared support, and more than 200 members of Knesset, academics, social change activists and other concerned citizens gathered to raise and debate the issues last week. The conference "Privatized and Unionizing: Women's Employment in an Era of Privatization," held under the aegis of SHATIL's Equality and Dignity in the Workplace Initiative, also raised the issue of the disproportionate and adverse effects of outsourcing on women – especially in the most underserved communities.
"If I can't dance, I don't want to be in your revolution"
On a recent weekday, 40 students astonished passersby at Hebrew University when they suddenly began dancing in the middle of one of the busiest campus thoroughfares. Forty dancers performed to a popular Black Eyed Peas song blended with "Demokrati" from the hit 1970's film, Kasablan, a kind of Israeli West Side Story.

text: So I just got a brand new ASUS RT-N16 router because of its impressively sized NAT table and custom firmware capabilities for under $100. I was hoping that this would finally put to rest the ongoing issues I've been having with p2p and lobby-based game browsers/scanners such as the ones used by Steam, Xbox Live and the PSN to find game servers and/or create ones on the fly via matchmaking. I was pretty pissed off to discover that there was absolutely no change in the performance of these apps after replacing my 6-month old Netgear WNR2000v2 with the new RT-N16. It means that no matter how powerful a router I buy, Buckeye is still going to limit the x number of connections I can have per y magic timeout window, regardless of actual throughput. It drives me nuts and I don't know why I put up with it.

A few days ago, NASCAR announced that they would consider changing the rear wing on the current car, and replacing it with the spoiler, more common in the cars before the COT.
Carl Edwards has come out and offered his support of the proposed change, and has done so in a very public manner, saying, in part,
"That'd be fine with me. If that's the direction we're going, then I'm 100 percent all for it. You can soften the tires then, you can drive the car sideways, you'd theoretically be able to handle behind someone because you aren't relying on downforce as much -- I think all those things are good."
I might be in support of the spoiler, if I had a better idea of what it might mean to the drivers and teams. One thing Carl has said I am in favor of - this isn't IndyCar or Formula 1 racing, but NASCAR, and it should be unique. If this removal of the wing will bring back the uniqueness of NASCAR, but it can't hurt.
For example, a number of driver simply haven't gotten a handle on the new car, most notably, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Will the spoiler help him? And what of Jimmie Johnson. He clearly has gotten the idea of how to drive the car, wing or not. What will the change mean for him? Will he still be able to drive the car the way he has? Well, undoubtedly he will, as his 4 championships transend both the old car and the new.
But what of the single car teams, such a BAM Racing and Furniture Row Racing and others? They don't have the money to spend on wind tunnel testing, and can't afford to build multiple cars and parts, simply to find out if something "works".
Richard Childress Racing had a dismal season in 2009. Will this move help them, or hinder them?
And finally, although NASCAR claims the wing has nothing to do with the "flight" of the cars in 2009, can it possible have an impact on the racing at Talladega and Daytona?
Rumor says the change won't come before the Easter weekend break, so we will have time to observe testing and adjustments.
At this point in time, I have more questions than Carl Edwards can answer. That being said, I think it will be a positive move. I would like to hear what the other drivers, owners, crew chiefs and engineers have to say about it. Ryan Newman? Are you there?
Carl Edwards says no wing a good move

There's not much else to know, but this is like seeing the presents under the tree on Christmas morning. I just wanna tear into those boxes and die in an ecstasy of geeky giddiness.

Awesome. Great prices, prompt service, and fast delivery.

Screwed was another nail in the coffin of former Saturday Night Live wisecracker Norm MacDonald, following his dismal previous film, Dirty Work. However, while Screwed isn't particularly funny (the jokes about dentures, dog poop, and dead bodies are pretty much as old as the hills), the plot exerts a perverse interest; for most of the movie, it's genuinely unpredictable. MacDonald plays Willard, the butler-chauffer, all-purpose flunky of Mrs. Crock, the wealthy, penny-pinching owner of a pastry company. Fed up with her abuse, Willard and his friend Rusty (David Chappelle from Blue Streak and 200 Cigarettes) connive to kidnap her dog Muffin. But Muffin escapes and returns home; the ransom note is assumed to be for Willard himself. Rusty and Willard run with the idea, sending in a videotape of himself being held prisoner. When a detective starts getting a little too close, they panic and decide to fake Willard's death... Okay, none of it makes much sense, but in a world of ridiculously formulaic movies that slavishly follow every screenwriting cliché, Screwed seems like a brief oasis of narrative invention. Of course, it still isn't funny. And by the end, it's lost whatever spark of imagination that got it started. Too bad. It's written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, the screenwriters responsible for Problem Child, but also for Ed Wood and The People vs. Larry Flynt--they should stick to biographies. --Bret Fetzer

For vendors who have been a part of Indie Garage Sale in the past, we look for improvement and growth within the business.

Overall Rating for Wellness Oil of Oregano 1 oz (29.57 ml)

Great product
There are so many uses for Oil of Oregano. Even though the bottle is essentially 2/3 olive oil and 1/3 oregano oil it is still effective and potent and saves you the hassle of diluting pure oregano oil. I have added a few drops to spaghetti sauce and dipping oil for bread when I feel I need to fight off a possible cold. I have also used it on sore muscles for overnight relief. Will definitely buy again!
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

This was my first time using Oil of Oregano but I am very impressed (and I have found Source Naturals to always have good quality products). I had a GI infection that I wanted to treat naturally without antibiotics and it worked miracles for me. Will definitely get again to help with any signs of illness that might show up. Very strong (in a good way!).

Oil Of Oregano
Wellness Oil of Oregano was recommended on the Dr. Oz Show as an effective way to fight infections both bacterial and viral. I started several weeks ago when symptoms of sinusitis were present and it seems to have relieved my symptoms. I just put a couple of drops in my water a few times a day.
I like that this is a natural and proven remedy.

Heard: Janice de Belen out of election campaignPhilippine Daily Inquirer
Actress Janice de Belen explains why she cannot actively support former partner Aga Muhlach or fellow ABS-CBN contract artist Joey Marquez in their bids for congressional seats next year:
"I'm not allowed to campaign because of my religion. (She is a member of the Iglesia ni Cristo.) Also, I'm not from Bicol—although I have known descendants there—and I don't vote there so I can't campaign for Aga (who is running for representative of the fourth district of Camarines Sur).
"Our son Luigi will definitely campaign for him, though. I wish Aga all the best, as well as Manong Joey (who will run for Parañaque City second district representative). We can never tell; they might actually be able to help improve this country."—Marinel R. Cruz

First off, check these three images.
- Oh God, this betch.
- Well, here's the chick from the last screen-cap
- So here's the poll from the 2004 RP forum
Also, as a little bit more proof, here's the Demisexual Google trend.
In the early 2000s and farther back, you won't find much about the proclaimed sexuality that is known as Demisexual. That's because, the truth is… Demisexual started on an RP forum hosted by Proboards. The forum in question no longer is active, but first started in early 2003 and was kept alive till 2008, which was the same time Asexuality and other such nonsense became big. The sexuality, Demisexual, was created for an RP about a highschool for different and unique individuals and due to such a RP setup, there were non-human beings that were created to participate in this RP.
Because of such a variety of races, species, and beings to choose from, there was also a plethora of sexualities. One such sexuality was, in fact, called "Demisexuality' and is close to what Tumblr and the rest of the Internet claim it to be, but with one slight difference… it was created not by some professor or intellectual, but by a 15 year old girl, who, in all honesty, was just RP'ing a slutty character who constantly fell in love with everyone else's character. It got to the point where this person continued to act like her character, even in non-RP boards.
That was until 2004, when the girl in question actually believed Demisexuality was real and left to start a Livejournal in order to promote said claim. She would, as sad as it sounds, make these outrageous claims of various historically famous individuals, like Tesla and Cleopatra. It got so bad that she one day vanished off of the Internet due to the ridicule and constantly trolling by people from the forum.
This continued on for awhile, becoming a bit of a meme within the forum. When the forum closed down (It's actually still up and I'm in the process of removing personal information and shutting it down) the Demisexual thing died down until Tumblr started. When I first joined Tumblr, it wasn't anything close to what I do now, but that doesn't mean I didn't poke fun at the fledgling SJ crowd. One person claimed that their sexuality didn't exist and that a person's sexuality was different for each person, which did remind me of the Demisexual fiasco. Jokingly, I said they were Demisexual… and it grew from there.
For awhile, I left Tumblr until Later 2010, early 2011. I saw that it became what we know it as now, but with the added sexualities. I apologize for being the person that first started the Demisexual fiasco, and for being the one to spread to such a volatile environment as Tumblr.
demisexuals confirmed for irl mary sue
Well dang
First of all, It was dead, but I saw someone link it somewhere, and it tickled my fancy. On the topic of what I said...
I'm… not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here? I don't really touch the feminist-anything, because I'm not...
More ignorance being slung around by you. No, it most certianly does not- that's laughable. The rest of your post is...
Yes, I think pansexuality is also ridiculous sounding, actually. It still falls under bisexuality, just another approach...

The United States has quietly discontinued a post-9-11 program that required men who came to the U.S. from Muslim countries to register with federal authorities, according to the Montreal Gazette.
The reportedly controversial program was called NSEERS, which stands for National Security Entry-Exit Registering System. It required "registration, fingerprinting and interviews of male visitors 16 or older from Muslim nations or North Korea." The program targeted visitors and people living in the country already.
Per the Gazette:
But not a single case resulted in anyone being charged with terrorism—a fact that experts say proves the program was a failure that unfairly harassed thousands.
NSEERS did "not catch terrorists," said Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia, a law professor at Penn State University who has extensively researched the program. "It was ineffective and alienating."
The Department of Homeland Security quietly ended the program through a notice buried on its website on April 28.
