Aretha Franklin is none too happy with Kathy Lee and Hoda's (and CNN's) implications that she might not be right to judge American Idol. What do you think?
Aretha is legendary - she would make a great addition. I agree with Kathy Lee - the younger demographic doesn't know who she is. I'm so over American Idol, not matter who the judge may be.

I bought both front bucket and bench seat covers for my 2013 F150 Super-crew the fit was good and install was easy. The material was heavy duty and just what I needed as a dog owner an avid hunter and fisherman. These covers were put to the test on a trip to my cabin with my Golden as she got sick and threw up on the seat cover which cleaned up easily and looked good as new. I highly recommend this product if you want something to keep your seats looking new.

High School Four-Week Course
How to use the modules
The modules consist of PowerPoint presentations and Document Folders containing MS Word files to supplement those presentations.
The PowerPoint presentations contain slides (written for the student) with notes below for the teacher. To view both, go to "view notes." These can also be printed as notes pages by designating "print notes" on the print set up page. It should be noted that bold and italic notes do not show up as such on the screen; they must be printed to register. For instance, in the annotations, there are italicized pieces from the text to support each annotation. However, you will not see the italics (nor bold, underlining, or varied bullets) on screen, only when printed.
The intent is to project the PowerPoint slides for the students. The PowerPoint will reference documents in the Document Folder in the teacher notes as they are needed. Most frequently, these are documents that need to be reproduced so that the students have paper copies in their folders or in hand for the lesson.
System requirements: Zip, PPT, Word
High School Four-Week Course
This four-week course (based on a two-hour class period and 20 instructional days) contains instructional materials to support the Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) and the Grade Level Expectations (GLEs). The students are learning to use the process (EALR 1) and are looking at two purposes (explain and persuade), several audiences, and forms (EALR 2). They are also working to evaluate their own and others' writing (EALR 4). However, the focus of this course is on EALR 3—writing clearly and effectively. This focus was chosen after analyzing papers of students considered Level 2. Specifically, they needed to work on choosing and narrowing a topic, organizing their ideas, elaborating their ideas, and writing introductions and conclusions.
This course provides all four weeks of lessons in four PowerPoint presentations with four corresponding Word document folders.

L'esposizione, in programma dal 17 dicembre 2011 al 1° aprile 2012, all'Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti -‐ Palazzo Franchetti di Venezia (Ponte dell'Accademia), propone oltre 150 fotografie (prevalentemente stampe all'albumina, acquerellate a mano) dei maggiori interpreti della seconda metà dell'Ottocento, provenienti da una collezione privata considerata la più grande raccolta del genere esistente al mondo, superiore anche a quella conservata all'Università di Nagasaki… (continua)

Avere una bella cera
Le figure in cera a Venezia e in Italia
March 10th – June 25th 2012
Palazzo Fortuny
San Marco 3780 – San Beneto, Venice
The world's first exhibition on wax portraits will analyse a field that has been studied very little by art historians: that of life-size wax figures. This fascinating subject has recently attracted the attention of numerous contemporary artists, but has never had a specific exhibition devoted to it.
The project was inspired by two fortunate coincidences, the existence of a series of life- size wax portraits in Venice's public collections and churches, and the centenary of the publication of Geschichte der Porträtbildnerei in Wachs ("History of Portraiture in Wax"), written by the famous Viennese art historian Julius von Schlosser and the first work devoted to the history of wax portraits. A superb Italian translation of Schlosser's work by Andrea Daninos has recently been published, complete with an extensive and detailed critical commentary.
The Venetian exhibition is the outcome of more than three years of research and, for the first time, it brings together nearly all of the extant sculptures in Italy, most of which unpublished or never displayed before.
The rooms of the Palazzo Fortuny, considered a major attraction for art lovers visiting Venice, will be transformed into a veritable wax museum, re-creating the fascinating atmosphere that always surrounds such displays.
The exhibition route begins by examining casts and funeral masks. The first section will feature wax death masks of Venetian doges from the 18th century, the sole examples of the custom of using wax "doppelgängers" at funerals. The cast of the deceased replaced his body, concealed in the coffin, and his effigy thus bore witness to the continuity of power, leaving a realistic and very evocative impression on the public.
The exhibition will also present the only visual testimony we have today of life-size votive figures that no longer exist: Vincenzo Panicale's Libro dei miracoli. The manuscript from the early 17th century contains a series of watercolours documenting the ex-votos that once filled the sanctuary of Santa Maria della Quercia in Viterbo, and it served as a catalogue of existing waxworks that made it possible to reproduce the statues faithfully if they were damaged or ruined… (continue reading)

Who can say that we should not live like dogs?
Friday 16 March – Sunday 25 March 2012
Tate Modern
Questions were an important part of the work of Shūji Terayama(1935–1983) whose striking creative work exists in a liminal space between fact and imagination. Terayama's career recalls an eerie tale of Japanese folklore in which a face shifts to become a different face. An acclaimed filmmaker, poet, radio and stage dramatist, essayist, photographer and horseracing tipster (with no less than eight volumes of commentary to his name) Terayama was, in the words of theatre critic Akihiko Senda, 'the eternal avant-garde'… (continue reading)

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is Fecal Occult Blood Testing?
Carolyn Vachani, MSN, RN, AOCN, OncoLink's Clinical Trials Coordinator, responds:
Fecal occult blood testing, also known as FOBT, is a test that can detect blood in the stool, even when it is not visible to the eye. This test involves placing a small amount of stool on a special card. A solution (or developer) is then applied to the card, and the card turns blue if blood is present. This test can be done at your doctor's office, or at home, and brought to the doctor's office for developing. Polyps or colon and rectal tumors may cause intermittent bleeding, and FOBT may be able to detect this bleeding, prompting further testing. It is important to note that some foods may cause the test to be positive. Ask your physician what foods to avoid when doing this test. The American Cancer Society recommends that this test be done every year, in conjunction with a sigmoidoscopy every 5 years.
Sep 16, 2010 - Adherence to biennial fecal occult blood testing to detect signs of colorectal cancer was low among members of a Washington State health plan, which potentially compromised its effectiveness in reducing colorectal cancer mortality, according to a study in the September/October issue of the Annals of Family Medicine.

We oppose the basing of F-35 war planes at the Burlington Airport. Stopping the basing will be a significant step toward canceling the whole unnecessary F-35 program nationally and supporting policies that protect our human rights, meet the needs of our communities, and enable real participation in decisions that affect our ability to live a life with dignity.

Sign On to Our Announcement List with Your Name and Email below
There are 4 areas of concern regarding the F35
"We would all of a sudden see a house being razed, and nobody would talk to us about what was happening."
- Carmine Sargent, South Burlington resident
Maintainer jobs will be lost because F35 planes will be serviced in Texas.
- Former Vermont Adjutant General Michael Dubie
In an emergency the F35 will jettison 9 tons of jet fuel into Lake Champlain.
F35 basing will disproportionately negatively affect low income and immigrant communities.
- Air Force EIS Report
About half of full time jobs are maintainer jobs.
"Land acquisition and relocation is the only alternative"
Of all potential F35 bases, only Burlington basing will have an increased impact on residential land.
- Air Force EIS report
Not basing in Vermont is the preferable environmental alternative.
- Air Force EIS report
"It would be more costly to do [F35] missions at Burlington… but political promises were made."
- Anonymous Pentagon official
"Putting the F-35 into production years before the first test flight was acquisition malpractice. It should not have been done, OK? But we did it."
- Frank Kendall, Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition
"I was asked my opinion about the F-35. It's a waste of money. Far too expensive. Give me an F-15 E — less expensive, will do the job."
- General Chuck Yeager (ret) First Pilot to break the sound barrier.
"We are spending maybe 45% of the world's budget on defense. If we drop to 42% or 43%, would we be suddenly in danger of some kind of invasion?… We are bankrupting our country and it's going to put us in danger"
- Rep. Justin Amash, A Michigan Republican
11% of the cost of the F35 program can pay for all the proposed cuts to social security, veterans benefits, and people with disabilities.
- Robert Naiman
"The (F-35) Joint Strike Fighter program has been both a scandal and a tragedy. It has been an incredible waste of the taxpayers' dollar…the path we are on is neither affordable nor sustainable."
- John McCain, Republican Senator
"A billion dollars spent on the F35 creates less than half as many jobs as a billion dollars spent on education."
The F35 is slated to replace the only other advanced generation 5 stealth fighter, the F-22. After 7 years and wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, the F-22 has yet to fly a single combat mission.
- Time Magazine
"Most of those [F35s]…are going to have to go back and have a bunch of changes made to them"
- Barry Watts, an analyst at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments
The F35 has "present difficulties [that] are too numerous to detail."
- Senator Patrick Leahy
"We didn't model everything as precisely as we thought. Now we're paying the price for being wrong"
- Frank Kendall, undersecretary of defense for acquisition.
The F35 program is "already a failure" on cost and schedule and said "the jury is still out" on its capabilities.
- Aviation Week & Space Technology Magazine
The F-35 is "worth killing, particularly given its technical problems,"
- Barry Blechman, co-founder of the Stimson Center

Ducks winger Corey Perry was named as one of three final contenders for the Ted Lindsay Award as the most outstanding player as selected by the union membership.
Perry joins Vancouver's Daniel Sedin and Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos as finalists for the award, which was the Lester B. Pearson Award until it was renamed in 2009 to honor the Hall of Famer Lindsay for his role in establishing the players' union.
All three are finalists for the players' honor for the first time. Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin has been the recipient of the last three awards.
The Ted Lindsay Award will be announced on June 22 at the NHL awards show in Las Vegas, the same evening that the Hart winner will be revealed between Perry, Sedin and Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis.

- Explain to the class that these men were named Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and that they were explorers. Engage students in a discussion about the meaning of the term "explorer." Record the students' responses on chart paper for all to see.
- Display the overhead transparency of the "Louisiana Territory Map" and show the students the Louisiana Territory, which Lewis and Clark explored. Explain that Lewis and Clark explored this area a long time ago.
- Point out the states that were part of the United States before the Louisiana Purchase. Explain that our country bought this land and Lewis and Clark were asked to find out what kinds of animals, plants, and people lived on this land.
- Point out the location of the class's school and ask whether or not this area was part of the United States before Lewis and Clark's trip.
- Introduce students to the selected text. As a group, preview the text and illustrations to generate predictions about what is occurring at different points in the book.
- Read this story aloud to the group. Ask students to pay attention to what Lewis and Clark did when they met American Indians along their journey. During the reading, attend to any unfamiliar vocabulary and difficult concepts.
- After reading the story, ask the students to recall or act out the main events of the story. Record all student responses on a new piece of chart paper.
- Ask students to recall what Lewis and Clark did when they met new American Indians. Students should note that Lewis and Clark gave them gifts and Peace Medals when they met.
- Distribute a copy of the Jefferson Peace Medal reverse to each student. Explain that this is an image of the Peace Medal that was given to American Indian chiefs. Ask students why they think these may have been given. Briefly discuss with the students the meaning of the images on the medal.
- Direct the students to cut out the medal.
- On the back of this medal, direct the students to write their names and then draw a picture of their favorite part of the Lewis and Clark story. Each student should also write or dictate a sentence about this picture.
Session 2
- Display the transparency of the pre-2004 Monticello nickel obverse. Ask students to examine the image and tell you what they know about it. Students should be able to identify it as the obverse (front) of a nickel and, perhaps, that the person is President Thomas Jefferson. Explain that he was the president who sent Lewis and Clark on their journey.
- Display the transparency of the pre-2004 Monticello nickel reverse. Ask students to examine the image and tell you what they know about it. Students should be able to identify it as the reverse (back) of a nickel. If students do not know, explain that the building was President Jefferson's home, called Monticello.
- Remind the students of the story that they heard about Lewis and Clark and ask them to recall information about the expedition.
- Explain that it has been 200 years since Lewis and Clark began their journey, and that the United States has made new nickels that will tell the story of these travels to celebrate this anniversary. Distribute a Peace Medal nickel to each student and allow them time to thoroughly examine each side.
- Ask students to describe what they see on the obverse of the Peace Medal nickel. Have they ever seen this image before? Where? Students should notice that the image on the obverse of the Peace Medal nickel is the same as on the obverse of the nickel that they're used to seeing.
- Ask students to flip their coin over and look at its reverse. Have they ever seen this image before? With some prompting, students may remember that the image on the reverse looks similar to the image on the Peace Medal that they had examined in the last session.
- Display the transparency of the Jefferson Peace Medal reverse. Direct students to compare this with the Peace Medal nickel reverse. The students should recall the meaning of these symbols from the previous discussion.
- Explain the connection between the handshake on the nickel and the purpose of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Help students understand that a handshake is a symbol of peace and friendship. Tell them that when Lewis and Clark met American Indians, they wanted to assure them that they were coming in peace and could be trusted.
- Make a real-world connection for the students by asking if they have ever seen people shaking hands. What does that mean? Elicit responses such as "it's a way of greeting another person" or "it's polite."
- Direct the students to shake hands with the person sitting next to them.
- Redirect the student's attention to the Peace Medal nickel. Ask students to identify the "heads" and "tails" sides of this new coin.
- Explain to the students that they will be doing a graphing activity with the coins.
- Assign each student a partner and give each pair a copy of the "Heads or Tails" worksheet and a crayon.
- Direct the students to take turns flipping their new nickel. Each student will have five turns to flip the coin.
- The students will watch to see whether the coin lands with the heads or tails side up. If the coin lands showing the heads side, the students will salute each other like a United States soldier does when he sees the President of the United States. They will also color in one space on their worksheet under the "heads" column. If the coin shows the tails side, they will shake hands with their partner like Lewis and Clark and an American Indian. They will also color in a space on the "tails" side of their worksheet.
Differentiated Learning Options
For higher-level thinking, provide students with a bag containing a variety of coins including nickels, dimes, pennies, and quarters. Distribute a chart that includes a column for the obverse and reverse of each coin. Direct students to take out one coin at a time. As they take the coins out, they will flip the coin and mark their chart as described above. This will require students to differentiate between the sides of the other circulating coins as well as those of the new nickel.
- As a class, analyze the results of the heads and tails game. Discuss which side of the coin landed facing up most often.
- Keep theme-related books about Lewis and Clark and the Louisiana Purchase in the class library so that the children can read them at their leisure.
- Evaluate the pictures and captions to check for student understanding.
- Take anecdotal notes about the students who were able to accurately differentiate between the heads and tails sides of the nickels. Also make note of their ability to graph this information correctly.

Oh my god I am in love with these buns!!!!!!!!
They sort of remind me of the buns you get at Red Lobster but these are better..... because these are so easy to make and made by you. If you're looking for appetizers to make this Christmas or buns to have with dinner make a few batches. I love Julia Child and this is my first Julia Child recipe. How do I not have her cookbooks?! I'll add it to my Christmas list for hubby!
I got this recipe from my mother. It's out of a April.4/27, 1992 First Magazine
All I did was follow the super easy instructions.
- In a nutshell, preheat oven to 425F. Makes 8-9 buns.
- Boil water, butter and salt, remove from heat and throw in a cup of flour. It will look like clumpy at first but will smooth out quickly and look like mashed potatoes.
- Transfer to a bowl and while still warm, make a well in the middle, add 1 cup of beaten eggs, about 4. Add the eggs at a 1/4 cup at time (my consistency was perfect at just about a half cup of beaten eggs rather than the cup recommended) It's like a puff pastry formed into a ball and with swiss cheese in the end. So once the egg is added the dough should hold its shape when scooped up on a spoon. That's why it's important to add a 1/4 cup at a time, you don't want it too loose or you'll have to start all over. I used an electric beater when adding the egg.
- Beat in 1 cup of the cheese ( I just stirred it in) and form a ring by dropping mounds of the dough in a circle (pictured below) *make sure the pan is lightly buttered and floured.
- Cook at 425F for 20 minutes than reduce to 400F for another 20 minutes ( I baked mine for about 50min)
It's crisp outside and moist and savory within. DIVINE!
1 cup of water
3oz of butter
1 tsp of salt
1 cup of flour
1 cup of lightly beaten eggs(about 5, I was good with 4)
1 cup + 2 tbsp of Swiss cheese.

The organizing committee of the IPv6 Day event at the Science Park Amsterdam challenges everyone (not only students!) to come up with novel demonstrations of the use of IPv6.
The first prize is won by Stefan Plug, who implemented RFC 5549.
The second prize is won by Juerd Waalboer, featuring ip6.nl.
The third prize is won by Rick van Rein, for his work on SIP over IPv6.
Your demonstration can include servers, clients, monitoring, novel applications, novel tooling, visualization, IPv6 for real dummies, whatever you can come up with. Your contribution must be demonstrated on the infrastructure at the SNE laboratory on IPv6 day.
An independent jury will go over the challenge contributions and visit them during the morning of IPv6 Day. The jury consists of Olaf Kolkman (NLnet Labs), Roland van Rijswijk (SURFnet) and Daniel Karrenberg (RIPE NCC), and chair Cees de Laat (UvA).
The winners will be announced at the social event in the afternoon, where they will pitch their idea and implementation. The prizes for the competition have kindly been donated by Budget Phone Company.
Submissions for the challenge must be submitted by e-mail.
If you want to join us at June 6th, please register so we can arrange for your presence. Registration is free and takes less than one minute!
The internet is outgrowing its legacy numbering. The global pool of available IPv4 address space is almost depleted. And now, it is time for action.
Back in June 2011, thousands of leading internet companies and private and public organisations—such as Facebook, Google, Disney, etc—enabled the IPv6 protocol for a test period of 24 hours in what was the biggest live test ever to take place on the internet.
A 24-hour observation lab in Amsterdam as well as observation posts around the world showed that there were no issues during the test flight; the internet continued to operate as before.
That meant that we're now ready for the future to finally start. On June 6th 2012 even more major internet destinations, including websites as diverse as NASA and Microsoft Bing, as well as ISPs, such as XS4ALL, ComCast and Deutsche Telekom, will take the next step and will collectively enable IPv6—permanently.
You can also be part of this unique event in global internet history and make your website and services available on IPv6 from June 6th onwards.
We will celebrate this historical milestone by organising a special event at Science Park Amsterdam with talks, tutorials, competitions, hands-on labs, and debates on cutting edge internet developments.

Revisiting the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007
By Matthew B. Theunick, Trott & Trott PC
Late last year, Congress extended tax relief for persons who have lost a home due to foreclosure. The Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.A. § 61(a)) defines "gross income" as "all income from whatever source derived." "Gross income" includes cancelled debt unless an applicable exclusion applies.
After the recent real estate market readjustment, Congress amended the tax code in 2007 to exclude discharges of indebtedness on principal residences from gross income (Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007, 110 P.L. 142). This exclusion provides relief to underwater homeowners on foreclosures, short sales, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, mortgage refinances, and other loan modifications.
This amendment to § 108(a)(1)(E) of the tax code notes that an exclusion from gross income would include "qualified principal residence indebtedness which is discharged before January 1, 2010." Congress subsequently revised the discharge date to January 1, 2014. (American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, 112 P.L. 240). The government's actions now allow homeowners to exclude up to $2 million of certain debt forgiven or $1 million for a married person filing a separate return.
A key provision of the Act is that debt reduced through mortgage restructuring as well as through foreclosure may qualify. A qualified homeowner can claim the exclusion by filling out Form 982, "Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness," and attaching it to their return. Additionally, if debt is reduced or eliminated, the homeowner can expect to receive a year-end statement Form 1099-C, "Cancellation of Debt," from the mortgage lender.
Any further extensions beyond the January 1, 2014, discharge cut-off will depend on Congress and the state of the economy. In the meantime, lawyers advising clients undergoing foreclosure or debt restructuring should recommend that they explore this exclusion with their tax advisor.

The "Cottage Tax" and the Parent-Child Transfer
By Jennifer M. Savel and Thomas Treppa, Giarmarco, Mullins & Horton, PC
The Legislature recently added another exception to the definition of "transfer of ownership" under the uncapping provisions of the General Property Tax Act (Act). Public Act 497 of 2012 provides that effective December 31, 2013, transfers of "residential real property" (as defined in MCL 211.34c), from a transferor to a transferee who is related by blood or affinity to the first degree are not "transfers of ownership" and do not "uncap" the taxable value of the property, provided that the use of the property does not change following the transfer. MCL 211.27a(7)(s). The Legislature added this exception to permit parents to transfer residential real property to children without triggering an uncapping of taxable value.
An interesting yet unanswered question is why the Legislature did not also include transfers to a child from a parent's revocable trust or from a decedent's estate. Today many parents own residential real property in the name of their trusts. It seems that the same exception should apply to a transfer of property from a parent's revocable trust or a parent's estate to a child. However, neither a trust nor an estate would be related to the child "by blood or affinity" and the new provisions of subsection (7)(s) would not apply. Although a parent might be able to deed the property back from the trust to the parent and then back out to the child, this appears to be a totally unnecessary exercise. If the rationale underlying the new provision is sound in the context of a transfer by a person, the same rationale should apply in the case of transfers from a trust or an estate. The Legislature should consider further amendments to the Act to include those transfers.

- Slice on an angle, and rotate 1/4 way each cut, like shown in picture.
- Prepare all your other ingredients.
- Mix together in a bowl and serve.
Hot dogs, chorizo, german sausages, Thai northern or Issan sausages all work fine. This recipe works for grilled sausages too, so think of it at your next cookout.
Ingredients: What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 cup sausages of any type (about 2 hot dog length sausages)
- 1/2 cup chopped tomato (1 medium-sized tomato)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallions
- 2 teaspoons chopped small thai chilies
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon coriander leaves

I love this menu! I am so hungry!
This looks so easy that your dad will try it, let u know!
My wife is Thai and soon after our marrage I had this great dish, we eat with rice as a side dish. We also have the same dish but with Tuna and is also great.
I love easy recipes, and this is one I will definitely make! I might also try it with tuna I'd like to invite you to take some time to drop by at Foodista. We have launched an online food and cooking encyclopedia ala wikipedia where you can contribute and share what you know about food and cooking techniques. I hope you can also share with us some of your fave Thai recipes. Thanks

I started games development in the mid-1980s, I was around 9 years old. Games for my Toshiba MSX were rare and expensive, I decided to make my own, for my own consumption. From then to now I still have the same passion, around 30 years later. I hope I'll still be working on games for my grand children in another 30 years
In my day job I'm mostly focused on developing art teams and solutions for those teams, improving efficiency and quality of art output.

Good lord.. Said better than I could ever attempted to say it. Well done.
Nintendo hasn't released a decent Metroid game in about 7 years. To blunt, there isn't much else about Samus to focus on beyond her status as an incredibly attractive woman in armor. Nintendo beats this nail into the ground because they HAVE to. Had Samus been male, gamers would not have cared anymore about her than they do Master Chief. Once (or if) a new Metroid game comes out, I have a feeling all of this talk of "sexism" will go away. Samus is more or less irrelevant until then, and Nintendo is actually quite brilliant for finding a way to get her into the spotlight via the rocket boots.
And before any of you complain about the Bailey Suit in Smash... It was available on the GBA long ago via Zero Mission, so direct all complaints to that game. Smash is just representing the games.

T O P I C R E V I E W Larry Burford Posted - 02 Feb 2011 : 21:19:07 Jim asked this question on another forum ...Gravity and Relativity/Requiem for Relativity 28 Jan 2011:18:33:53... where it is off topic, so I decided it was time to create an EPH specific forum. [Jim] "LB, Your last post is all good (but) As far as I know there is nothing in human writing indicating a planet size object has any way to explode but TVF had observational data that lead him to use EPH to explain the data. There was a half light/half dark planet as well as several other observations that he was using as guide lines-I know other people made those observations no problem with that and if anyone wants to look into it they can. I just want to understand why he proposed EPH as the answer that fit those observations (whatever that are)." 14 L A T E S T R E P L I E S (Newest First) Larry Burford Posted - 24 Feb 2011 : 15:06:19 Jim,Planet crossing orbits are rarely stable for more than a few tens of millions of years. When planet crossers exist it is because their origin is recent. This can be from a one-time recent event such as the explosion we are talking about or from a recurring source such as collisions in a belt of objects with stable orbits that replenishes the individual crossers as they are lost over time. Larry Burford Posted - 24 Feb 2011 : 14:58:30 [Stoat] "This thing would be essentially a part of the core ... "In a true central explosion of a 4 to 5 Earth-mass (or larger) planet, essentially 100% of the planet is vaporized. The 4 to 5 Earth-mass constraint is of course theory (model) dependent. For smaller planets, as the mass drops below the divding line and some mass is not vaporized, the crust is the part that survives.[Stoat] "I still haven't worked out the time this explosion took."That wil be hard to do with any certainty. There are a lot of factors that can influence this and until we see a few of these things happen in person we can only come up with a range of possibilities. [Stoat] " ... inner moons would fly off into solar orbits once the bulk of the exploding planet was outside their orbits. This would be at different times."An explosion of this size is a process, not an event. Your intuition is working well. Even so, the process will run its course in a matter of hours. The less energetic the explosion the longer it will take, but if the available energy is too low the explosion will fizzle. Some internal material might be vaproized and escape. Some crustal material might be propelled into space, mostly with less than escape velocity. The planet will be destroyed, but it will not explode in the way we normally imagine. It will continue to move as a single mass in its usual orbit. Suppose it takes 15 hours from start (first burp) to finish (trailing edge of blast wave sweeps past a moon with a million kilometer orbit). The moons will be almost in the same place, moving with almost the same velocity, the whole time. Very close asteroidal moons might be an exception.But whether the explosion takes a year or a microsecond (or half a moon's orbital period versus a tiny fraction of that period), the directions of travel of the moon or moons will be random and their speeds will be what they are prior to the explosion.LB Stoat Posted - 24 Feb 2011 : 04:29:14 Hi larry, did Tom ever consider that the third planet to explode was the remains of the 8 Earth mass planet that Mars hypothetically orbited? This thing would be essentially a part of the core and would have a lunar mass but it would be rather exotic stuff and perhaps would be more likely to explode again. The first planet to explode, the one out at the edge of the asteroid belt is less of a problem. Up to now I've only been able to get Cruithne type orbits form exploding a gas giant but it's early days and I still haven't worked out the time this explosion took. Obviously inner moons would fly off into solar orbits once the bulk of the exploding planet was outside their orbits. This would be at different times.(Edited) changed the mass to Earth mass, rather than Jupiter mass as I'd idiotically wrote at first. Jim Posted - 23 Feb 2011 : 13:34:54 Data is good-the near Earth/orbit crossing objects will be gone at sometime in the future(?) and so many of them have been lost since they were created(?) Do you have a "halflife" estimate for these objects that could be retrofitted into the current state of this model? It might help to figure the original mass(or not?) The data of the event 3.8bya is on the moon (so I have been told) so maybe data of the event 65mya also is on the moon. Larry Burford Posted - 23 Feb 2011 : 10:47:15 There are at least 13 medium to large craters on Earth that date to approximately 65 MYA. Chicxulub on the northern edge of the Yucatan Peninsula is one of them. It is often cited as the cause of the dinosaur extinction and the iridium layer at the C-T boundary. It's not impossible that a single asteroid impact could have caused the extinction and the world wide deposits, but a blast wave and multiple hits is a more viable explanation. The Chicxulub impact by itself was small enough that it would have had trouble doing the job. Throw in a few dozen more impacts (some not yet discovered), even if Chicxulub was the largest, scattered around the world and you have a serious smoking gun.===The observed population of Earth-crossing asteroids and comets ought to have caused a cratering rate on Earth and Luna that is about eight times larger than the observed cratering. This discrepancy goes away if the observed population of potential impactors has only been this high for a few million years.===Such a high population of Earth-crossers has another time related problem. They will either hit Earth or be ejected from the solar system or into the sun by near misses that this high population density can only last for a a few million years. ===Erosion rates on Mars and Venus are too high to account for the observed crater populations, especially since these craters show so little signs of the expected erosion. If many of the craters are only a few million years old, the problem goes away.===Until we can go to these places and spend some time studying them, much of this evidence has to be considered provisional. But there are dozens to hundreds of bits of evidence like this. The statistics of this mass of evidence also point in the direction of one or more planetary break-ups. To decide at this point that the Failed Planet Hypothesis must be correct and the Exploded Planet Hypothesis must be wrong is premature.LB Jim Posted - 22 Feb 2011 : 23:51:15 Several times the solar system was pelted by millions of huge rocks we call meteors. One of these several events can be dated to 3.8bya. Can any of the other events be dated? Larry Burford Posted - 22 Feb 2011 : 22:47:15 All of the planets and moons have been pelted by millions of bits of stuff on several occasions, including the event 3.8 BYA. And some of the bits left evidence that they were way too large to have come from an explosion that was not inside the solar system.Most of the evidence we have for these events is here on Earth (for obvious reasons), but not all of it. Evidence from elsewhere in the solar system includes the moon Iapetus at Saturn. It takes nearly three months to rotate. Deduce the consequences - if a planet really did explode between Mars and Jupiter, the blast wave from it would take about one or two or three or four weeks to sweep past Iapetus, depending on the speed of the wave and how much of the planet was vaporized and so on (IOW, depending on your model of the explosion). Since Iapetus rotates so slowly, it would have recieve its pelting of millions of bits of stuff all on one side, and since it is airless the deposited material would remain in place for a long time. What do we see when we look at Iapetus? One side is much lighter than the other, as if a blast wave had swept past it and deposited a lot of stuff on the side facing the blast.The speed of an explosion's blast wave is primarilly dependent on the energy of the explosion. Supernovas can eject some material at 10% or more of the speed of light, with the average speed for all ejected material probably running around 1%. A planetary explosion is not likely to result in a blast wave maximum speed of more than a few times escape velocity. Average for all material ejected can be under escape velocity. Once again, the devil is in the details and until we actually see some of these planetary explosions our attempts to create a model to help us think about them will be little more than guesswork. But if we are careful with our guessing, we can probably come up with proposed answers that are within the ball park. We just need to remember that the answers are not exact.LB Jim Posted - 22 Feb 2011 : 15:29:51 The SN model suggests mass is ejected from the SN event at about 1% of light speed and is partly heavy elements. Would this matter slow down over time? And how fast would stuff from the proposed EPH event be moving? It seems to me the velocity is well above the escape velocity of the solar system and so only a small amount of the total mass would stick around the sun. Jim Posted - 19 Feb 2011 : 19:47:30 The Earth was pelted by millions of bits of stuff from somewhere about 3.8 billion years ago. That could have been stuff from a nearby SN event and there would be no evidence of said event that could have dated back a few billion years from the date when the blast wave past through the solar system which would have been in some other zone of the galaxy at 3.8bya. It had a very big effect on our planet. Larry Burford Posted - 18 Feb 2011 : 22:43:36 [Jim] "... it seems to me near SN events are much more logical places to look than an EPH model. There is no reason to think many nearby SN events have occurred over the past 5 or 10 billion years."(Did you mean to say there "is NO reason"? I am assuming you meant to say that there "is reason".)Supernova remnants found in our galaxy suggest the the average time between such explosions is on the order of 50 years. However, this is an average and our mileage appears to have varied. The last observed supernova in the Milky Way was in 1604. It was 6 kiloparsecs from here (about 20,000 lightyears), and was visible in broad day for almost a month. Not exactly near by, but with 20 or so every thousand years there should have some much closer. So yes, near by supernovae are probably at least as common as exploding planets.===Have you thought about the differences between the physical evidence that ought to be left by a planetary explosion within the solar system and the physical evidence that ought to be left by a stellar explosion outside the solar system? Even if it were nearby.LB Jim Posted - 15 Feb 2011 : 15:09:46 LB, Most of the questions I have are with regard to many intertwined puzzles about stuff that has been kicked around for at least a century or more-not stuff about models though. Data that has been used to construct models are what my questions focus on. For example; redshift is used to construct a long favored model. This causes people to filter data through that model thereby supporting said model while hiding other data that might be useful to learning about things rather than being educated to conform to the current belief system. The 20th century is rich in such methods of education. But, I rant. Anyway, it seems to me near SN events are much more logical places to look than an EPH model. There is no reason to think many nearby SN events have occurred over the past 5 or 10 billion years. Larry Burford Posted - 14 Feb 2011 : 23:27:52 [Jim] "... TVF had observational data that lead him to use EPH to explain the data. ... I just want to understand why he proposed EPH as the answer that fit those observations ... "The basic reasons he did this are 1) he was open minded, and 2) he would not throw away an observation simply because it did not fit the Accepted Theory. Over time, as he became familliar with more and more peices of the puzzle that did not fit anywhere, he became less willing to ignore them as a whole. And this led him to wonder if the Accepted Theory might have some flaws. Or some competition, another explanation altogether. The only other serious possibility (planetary break up) was proposed at about the same time as the failed planet idea, but had been passed over by the majority of explorers largely because of the relative popularity of the scientists that supported each idea when they were originally proposed.So Tom finally asked himself the question "Suppose that a planet between Mars and Jupiter actually had exploded. What sort of evidence would it leave behind?" He then spent several years deducing the consequences. This is a long and tedious chore, because you have to make assumptions about exactly where this planet was, how big it was, how much mass, how energetic the explosion was, etc. and you have to do a lot of calculations, which means that if no one else has built a model, you have to. And you have to try a number of combinations of these things. After a while he began comparing his predictions with the puzzle peices that did not fit the other theory, and found that there was a pretty good match. Many years later, as the new outer belt was discovered, he realized that there must have been more than one planet that exploded.And so on.The details of the evidence that led him down this path are in his book. If you have specific questions I'll try to answer them.Regards,LB Jim Posted - 14 Feb 2011 : 21:06:15 LB, Concepts are always of interest to me-silly or not they are all of some interest-even stuff like BB or GW which are silly to me are none the less interesting-- Larry Burford Posted - 09 Feb 2011 : 10:27:26 [Jim] "As far as I know there is nothing in human writing indicating a planet size object has any way to explode ...Jim,How important is it to YOU that there be a recognized mechanism before you will consider a particular concept? (If anyone else wants to answer this question, please do so.)FYI, most educated explorers feel that this is somewhat-to-very important. It is part of what we are taught at college. Tom used to think this, also, but later changed his mind. I have always treated such things as indeterminate, pending new data. I will look at them and think about them a little bit, but I keep one eye on my BS detector all the time.LB Paradoxes Resolved, Origins Illuminated © © 2002-?

Silent Auction Ideas
Virtually any charity can use silent auction ideas as a great means of fundraising to support their charitable cause. In fact, organizing and running a silent auction is much easier than it may seem, especially if you're hosting your auction online with a fundraising strategy. Here is a simple outline of silent auction basics necessary in order for you to properly plan and execute your next non profit fundraising event.
Create your auction committee.
The first thing you'll need to do is get some excited volunteers from your group to help you plan and run the occasion. Make sure you have plenty of people and that all tasks will easily be covered. If you need to bring in more people later on to help, that's fine. Start out, though, with a strong, dedicated group, and assign leadership roles to those who will be in charge of managing and publicizing the event.
Solicit item donations.
To keep costs low, get your members to ask around in attempts to get the public, local businesses, or others to donate items for your auction. In exchange for donated items, you can offer businesses free publicity during your event and in your marketing materials. This is a great way to inspire them to donate. Try to get all offers for donations in writing, when possible, or collect the items on the spot.
Determine a time and place for your event.
If hosting your event in a public venue, you'll need to find an appropriate and affordable space to hold your auction. Consider asking to see if someone would be willing donate a place for your charitable event. Find a place where doors can be locked or hire security, if necessary. The room should have good circulation and be comfortable for guests, giving them plenty of space to move around freely. Arrange tables around the walls, placing items for bid on the tables. You can place a few in the center of the room, too, if needed. Place your auction items where the main action is going to be during your event.
If you're holding your silent auction online, make sure you've studied the site hosting your fundraising program carefully. CharityAuctionsToday.com offers a convenient way to run your auctions from anywhere at any time and provides back end management so you can stay focused on your events. As long as you have an internet connection, you can run your auctions and stay in touch with supporters no matter where you are! With free membership and no listing fees, how can you lose?
Publicize your silent auction.
Market your event ahead of time. Create flyers or newspapers ads to advertise your event. You can also purchase commercial spots at a local radio station or have a short video for public access television commercials. Word of mouth is also a great way to spread news of your event. Use whatever resources you have to let the public know when, where, and why your event is being held. Show off some of the great items you'll be auctioning and get people excited about attending.
Get your auction items organized and prepared for bids.
You'll want to vary the costs of starting bids for different items. It's a good practice to have high priced items as well as inexpensive items. Also, make sure you have items that appeal to men, ones that also appeal to women, as well as some for children. The more variety you have in price and products, the higher your chances for success. Remember to check that all items are clean and in good condition.
Once you've organized your items, you need to create bid sheets for each item. At the top of the bid sheet, list the name of the item in bold. Beneath it, write a short description and the name of the donor. The rest of the sheet should include a series of numbered, blank lines. Make sure bid sheets are supported with cardboard or a clipboard so people can write on the sheets. Hang a pen with each one. Bidders will write their bids on the sheets. Have duplicates of each sheet handy and extra blank sheets for any last minute auction items that come in.
Determine rules and procedures for bidding.
Set rules for bidding ahead of time and post a sheet where supporters can view them easily. Here are some good rules you can use:
- 1) Establish minimum bids on all items. Use whole dollar amounts so people will not bid in penny increments.
- 2) Supporters can not bid less than previous bids.
- 3) Bids that have been changed or crossed out must be initialed by the bidder.
- 4) No bids will be accepted after the auction ends.
Handling the auction successfully.
Have your auction set to end at a pre-planned time. Alternatively, you can have a spontaneous ending where you announce that bidding is closed. If you opt for this, make sure your committee knows ahead of time exactly when the auction will secretly end so they can be prepared.
Once bidding has stopped, committee members should immediately begin collecting bid sheets. Go through every sheet and get the name and winning amount for the winning bidder. After these tasks are complete, have an area ready, that has been set up in advance, in which you announce winning bidders and have them come to the area to pay. After payment, give them a ticket for their item. After all bidders have paid, set up a delivery time and area where winners can collect the items they've won.
Make sure you have plenty of cash on hand for change. Also, if possible, set up a way to accept credit cards for your event. This can increase your sales volume tremendously.
It's crucial that every aspect of your auction is well organized. Every step should be planned in advance so that you and your volunteers know exactly what to do every step of the way. Also, remember to create a lively, fun elementary school fundraising event that or church fundraising your supporters will enjoy. Host a dinner or offer an open bar during your auction. Keep donors interested so they don't get bored and leave early. By following these simple guidelines, you can throw a successful silent auction that will bring in tons of donations!
