Jefferson 2012 APW Program - page 2
Has anyone else been accepted for Thomas Jefferson APW nursing program for Fall 2012? :)... Read More
- 0Mar 1, '12 by gglove317Hi All! I'm new to this thread but I just got an email from Niki Kelley today inviting me for an interview. Has anyone else been part of this later process? Also, I am in New England... can anyone tell me if the interviews are over the phone or in person? I have to interview sometime over the next 2 weeks so obviously have to make travel arrangements if it is in person. I also have a few prerequisites to finish up however which I plan on doing this summer. Any tips from anyone who has already interviewed would be greatly appreciated, and good luck to all of you!
- 0Mar 2, '12 by jocy_annelaurn109, I did actually e-mail Niki Kelley back on February 15th, and she never responded. I have the same concerns that you do. I feel like it can't be good news if I haven't heard from them about the interview yet, but I haven't been rejected yet either. I kind of want to call Niki Kelley to see if I can speak to her, but I also don't want to be a pain in the you-know-what because I feel like I pester the admissions office way too much. I just don't know how much longer I'll stay sane without having an answer!
- 0Mar 2, '12 by jocy_annegglove317, congrats on the interview invitation! I can only hope I'll get the same e-mail soon...anyway, I've read up on the FACT thread, and from what I understand, the interviews are in person. Depending on where you are in New England, it may be cheapest to take a train into Philly (30th Street Station). I, too, have 2 outstanding prerequisites - I'm in the middle of Gen Chem II right now, and then I'll have to take Microbiology over the summer. Good luck and keep us posted about your interview! I don't live in the city, but I live about 20 minutes outside of it (in NJ), so if you have any questions, let me know. The FACT thread was useful to read, but it would be great to get more people involved in the APW thread.
- 0Mar 2, '12 by gglove317Thanks Jocy! I actually spoke with Niki Kelley today about the interview and she said she'd be willing to do a phone interview. I don't know if that's good or bad... I told her I'd be happy to come down (I already searched flights and luckily my friend lives 10 blocks from Jeff!) but she said that the phone interview would be fine. It's next Friday so I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. However, I think I already screwed myself over by even asking if it was by phone or in person to begin with... I should have just said "okay, you tell me the day and I'll be there!" but it's hard when you've got a full time job and your employer has no idea you've applied to graduate school. ;-)
And as for microbio in the summer - you'll be fine! In my experience, the exams counted LOTS more than the labs, but the labs were what pushed me from a B+ to an A- because I was thorough and asked questions. As for Chem II - I have no help for you there! I took Biochem instead and I still actually have to take Chem I. I was trying to get as many prereqs in for multiple schools and figured if I heard from Jeff I'd take them both this summer (Chem I and nutrition). Money is tight! Good luck to you and I'll be in touch soon!
- 0Mar 3, '12 by jocy_annegglove, I think a phone interview is still ok! Someone on the FACT thread posted about how they had a last-minute, unscheduled phone interview with Niki Kelley, and they received an acceptance e-mail the same day. I met her at an information session back in August/September and she was very nice and extremely understanding. She knows that many (if not most) of the people applying to the program have full-time jobs. And since she knows you're not local, I'm sure she won't penalize you for doing a phone interview! I bet you'll get an acceptance e-mail the same day!
And thanks for the encouragement with Microbio! I've heard so many people in my classes talk about how hard it is, so I'm definitely nervous. I would hate to mess up my GPA, lol. Chem II isn't too bad so far. I have an excellent teacher and actually got a 115 on the first test, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping to keep that trend going! I think you'll be good with Chem I, and Nutrition was pretty easy, but also a bit demanding since I took a condensed online class that went from 1/3 - 2/10. I agree, money is extremely tight right now! I just keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end when I'm doing something I really want to do.
Good luck with the interview! I can't wait to hear that you've been accepted!
- 0Mar 5, '12 by PITTgalDon't worry about the interview with Niki.. She was very nice and it felt more like conversation then an interview process. She started off asking me questions about my grades and undergrad schooling. She then asked me questions like why I wanted to go into nursing? Even though I was very nervous for my interview, she was very easy to talk to which made it easier!
Good luck!
- 0Mar 5, '12 by jocy_anneThanks for the feedback about the interview process, PITTgal! I sent another e-mail to her today to let her know that I sent another updated transcript...I'm really hoping I'll get an interview invite soon and am trying not to give up hope. Hopefully we'll all be classmates in the Fall!
- 0Mar 5, '12 by gglove317Thanks to you both PITTgal and jocy_anne! I am putting together all my notes for the interview about why nursing and why Jeff and so on and so forth. My grades and GRE scores are certainly not the highest of the bunch, so I do hope that the other parts of my application show through.
PITTgal - did you hear anything post interview about acceptance or anything?
PS - I've totally been daydreaming lately about meeting all of you and finding a great apartment in Center City and getting started with classes... I need to STOP or I'm going to psych myself out for my interview!!!
Do any of you know what they received for applications and how many they accept? Not that I should even look at stats... gah... getting nervous!
- 0Mar 5, '12 by jocy_annegglove, I've been doing research about the application-to-acceptance ratio because I'm curious too, but I haven't been able to find anything so far. It's probably for the best, lol. I think they would look past grades and test scores, especially if you have unique work experience, etc. It's a very good sign that you got the interview invite! I think the most important thing you'll need to remember is to relax and breathe as you pick up that phone.
I've been daydreaming about the same thing! I just want this so badly and can't wait to walk to class on the city streets and meet you all. I really hope our daydreams become reality soon! But you're right, we should probably try to burst that little daydream bubble until we get past the interview process (can you tell I'm trying to will my interview into existence?).
Good luck, remember to breathe on Friday, and let us know if you need some more words of encouragement beforehand!

He's been there
Triple-amputee contractor building for boy with similar disabilities
Amputee-contractor Eric Duchesne wields a circular saw Thursday at a Hillhaven Road home in Manchester. (MARK HAYWARD / UNION LEADER.)
Like Duchesne, Carter has only one hand to grab an object. Like Duchesne, he can only use his other arm to brace or prop an object, whether a toy or piece of lumber. And like Duchesne, Carter's sneaker attaches to a leg-like, high-tech rod.
"He's a walking, talking, breathing role model for Carter," said Carter's father, Mike Mead. "He's a hands — a hand-on — kind of guy."
He lost portions of his right arm and both legs.
Duchesne said he worked a few years at a white collar job. But he yearned to work outside, so in 2001 he started Decks-N-More. At times, business was so good that he kept three crews busy, he said. Now he just works with a single crew.
At another point, he trusts his prosthetics enough to brace himself while using his entire body's weight to nudge a vertical post into alignment.
Duchesne said the leg prosthetics, supplied by Next Step Bionics and Prosthetics of Manchester, make it easy to work. His right prosthetic is bionic, with a computer-controlled knee that locks, releases and pivots based on the experience of the user.
"For us, it's not just a deck," Kelliann said, "it's a life experience for Carter."

Gain – Truth or Dare
GET THIS SONG:Download from iTunes Download from YesAsia
2 more days to voting… Please continue to vote for this everyone. Don't give up. Hope for a full KMM on this next week.
I really hope EYK will talk more about this. It's dropping again so PLEASE vote?
TOP 4 now! Continue everyone^^ Next week's KMM please?
Love you Gain, you're class :x
Just hoping that if Fxxk U got reviewed, they may talk about this MV too^^ It's an opportunity not to be missed! This kind of MV is just…
I thought this was a really good review on Truth or Dare's concept^^ http://arcadey.net/2014/02/ga-returns-truth-dare-remains-smarter-better-pop-stars/
wow i just thought she took the beat cause it was popular :P good article. but i have to say the fake documentary looked really fake.
Wasn't that the point? It's supposed to look "fake" to demonstrate just how fake and superficial most of the rumors about K-pop idols are.
i was talking bad acting i wasnt sure if it was supposed to look like that or not but what you say makes sense.
Could have been both. I assumed it was supposed to look fake, but Show Luo said he had a hard time talking badly about Ga In, which might have also been a problem for the other people "interviewed." Though in Show Luo's case, it could have been a language issue.
Very insightful review! I'm not familiar with the song "Blurred Lines," so it was nice to read an explanation of how it ties into "Truth or Dare."
the concept is very good it reminds me of manyo maash (another song on the charts) but the subtitles are hard to follow
:( i didn't like the song very much but im liking gain she is different and she talks about real issues.
please review this…and also the FxxK U mv of GaIn…it's worth discussing. . .!!!!
Great to see they included Kwon
Start voting for this! This MV is really different from other KPOP MVs. It's unique, straightforward and bold^^ Who will actually have the guts to bash themselves by releasing such an MV? I do hope EYK will review this to talk about this^^
I was really impressed by the teaser for "Truth or Dare." Normally, teasers are a few seconds of the song accompanied by the idol in question looking sexy, but the teaser for "Truth or Dare" was just the opposite. Instead of making Ga In look sexy (is there any time when she doesn't look sexy?), it referenced every criticism thrown at her -and by doing so, completely undermined such criticisms. The MV built on this even more, and the faux documentary style added a clever, original touch. Plus, there's a performance version for people who just want to hear the song.
This song is so fun while still talking about a topic worth discussing which is kpop idols and how rumors affect them and their way of living. Plus the fake documentary style is pretty original as far as mvs go.

Liberalism does not preclude an organisation of the flow of money in which some channels are used in decision making while others are only good for the payment of debts.Jean-Francois Lyotard
Liberals tend to put the onus of your success on society and conservatives on you and your family.Dennis Prager
Liberalism is an attitude rather than a set of dogmas - an attitude that insists upon questioning all plausible and self-evident propositions, seeking not to reject them but to find out what evidence there is to support them rather than their possible alternatives.Morris Raphael Cohen
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.Thomas Sowell
Liberals seem to assume that, if you don't believe in their particular political solutions, then you don't really care about the people that they claim to want to helpThomas Sowell
Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.William E. Gladstone
A man who has both feet planted firmly in the air can be safely called a liberal as opposed to the conservative, who has both feet firmly planted in his mouthJacques Barzun
Liberalism, above all, means emancipation - emancipation from one's fears, his inadequacies, from prejudice, from discrimination, from poverty.Hubert H. Humphrey
Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.Aristotle
Liberalism is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence itis the noblest cry that has ever resounded on this planet.Jose Ortega y Gasset
Liberals feel unworthy of their possessions. Conservatives feel they deserve everything they've stolen.Mort Sahl
A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.Robert Frost
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.Winston Churchill
A radical thinks two and two makes five. A liberal is more conservative. he knows two and two make four, but he's unhappy about it.Herbert Prochnow
Liberalism, austere in political trifles, has learned ever more artfully to unite a constant protest against the government with a constant submission to it.Alexander Herzen
Conservative: a statesman who is enamoured of existing evils, as istinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others.Ambrose Bierce
Conservatism makes no poetry, breathes no prayer, has no invention; it is all memory. Reform has no gratitude, no prudence, no husbandry.Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Liberals have many tails, and chase them allHenry Louis Mencken
As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.George Washington
I never dared to be radical when young For fear it would make me conservative when old.Robert Frost

The Mystery of 'Batu Kapal' at Gunung Jerai.
By Augustine Towonsing on 06/03/2014 9:15 am in The World of Wonders / 2 comments
Mount Jerai is a highland surrounded by a lowland with it peak 1,217 meters. In fact, Mount Jerai or Gunung Jerai plays a most important part in the history of Kedah and it was a focal trading point for traders century ago. According to the legend of King Merong Mahawangsa that Gunung Jerai originally was an island called Pulau Serai. Furthermore, it was mentioned that King Merong Mahawangsa's ark was separated from the others ship in his armada after the attack by the Geruda bird. During the Geruda's attack King Merong Mahawangsa's ark was the only survivor. Therefore, the king later set up a city and palace at the foot of Gunung Jerai named 'Langkasuka'.
Furthermore, based on the ancient Hindu holy book the 'Agni Purana' mentioned that a thousand years before Merong Mahawangsa that Pulau Serai had already become a mountain surrounded by land. That the book mentioned about a state of 'Anda-Kataha' bordered a mountain which is 'Anda-Kataha' is Lembah Bujang ( Bujang Valley ).
Interestingly, at the middle of the forest at the peak of Gunung Jerai there was a huge ship-look alike rock known as 'Batu Kapal' or the stone ark. Thus, based on the legend believes the ship belongs to King Merong Mahawangsa that was cursed by Sang Kelembai ( some believes says Gedembai a creation with a sharp tongue cursing anything into stone ) while the king was anchoring his ship. Interestingly, not only the king's ship turned into rock but many rocks in Gunung Jerai are also shaped like fish and other animals too.
Furthermore, where were this Batu Kapal located is also at a strange location and strangely enough that a row of small inter-connecting pools begins at Batu Kapal and this stream is also called Alor Naga or dragon stream. In fact, an interesting note also can be found in the History Museum of Gunung Jerai mentioned that there are people had admitted seeing dragon scales among the rocks.
Yet, those is only the legend's believes as there are many more things that considered as mystery. While at the top of the Batu Kapal the officer from the Kedah Forest Department had told us many more strange stories that happened here. Not only we were told that the Batu Kapal has treasures of silver and gold but also he told us that many people regardless of faith and race were missing in this place. Other informations about this place can be watched from the video below.
Meanwhile, the researcher has taken the opportunity to take a few snaps of photos around the stone ark and found that what was mentioned in the legend of Gunung Jerai about a stream that begins at the Batu Kapal is true. In fact, this large rock is also not attach to the ground but as though it is loose unattached on the ground.
Nevertheless, although physically this stone ark is just like the rest of the rocks that can be found in Gunung Jerai yet there are many things that still remain as mystery. Yet, it is a wonders that become the treasure of Gunung Jerai that full of mystery and although phrases like Gedembai, spirits, elves, dragon and 'Tok Sheik' were just phrases that is not proven yet these are the phrases that always mentioned among those who amazed with the Gunung Jerai's legend. Therefore, in 2009 at the foot of the mountain the Titi Hayun, Yan the Malaysian Ghost Research has recorded a very distinct voices that looking for the researcher as well at the same recording has recorded an ancient musical instrument being played that believe to be comes from the elve's settlement.
In fact, based on the Malaysian Ghost Research experienced conducting paranormal video recording arround the mountain foot that covers Singkir, Gurun and Titi Hayun, Yan shows that the existence of spirits and elves cannot be denied. It is scientifically proven based on the video recording that this mountain has its own mystery and significant with the strange occurances that happened around the 'Batu Kapal'. In fact, when one present at the location themselves one will find that it just an ordinary nature scene that hides well its mystery and wonders.[ This post has been viewed: 201521 Times ]

I have visited Gunung Jerai but unfortunately I didn't visit the Batu Kapal. An interesting story and I have read the 'The Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa' too.
It seems that the king's ship was cursed into stone while the ship anchored.

Day 6: 302 lbs
Day 6 at IMAGE HEALTH in Roseville.
302 lbs.
Why is it, that the moment you begin a huge diet, and start trying to eat healthier in your life, some schmuck at work brings cookies in the morning??? Whatever. You can avoid those. But the moment you make it into your office, another nice schmuck walks in with a pan of fresh baked goodness and says, "I know your eating carrots and everything, but I didn't want to be rude and not offer you some of my wife's delicious mint brownies."
Isn't that MORE rude? "How bout I offer you my left fist in return for your wonderful work hospitality?"
The thing is, there is always food here at my office. It's unavoidable. I have wonderful co-workers who make things and bring stuff in, all the time. I can't bake, so I would just bring doughnuts from to time. Ugh. Doughnuts. I will give $100 right now for a Krispy Kreme.
Well... here comes the tough weekend. 100 degree heat. 3 days away from work. 2 barbecues. And a champagne brunch. Sound like the perfect 4th of July weekend? Uh-uh. Hell-to-the-No. It will be miserable! All I'll want to do is stay inside in the air-conditioning, eating all the BBQ I can get my hands on and drink my way through our country's 245th birthday. Well at least it's not Thanksgiving. UGH. THANKSGIVING!
I'm so hungry.
Well, I have a 25-mile bike ride scheduled for Saturday. Swimming on Sunday. And a 'Wii Fit' date with my girlfriend on Monday. I think I'll be sweating much more than eating....so...take that 4th of July Weekend!
Day 6 at IMAGE HEALTH went very well. The owner, Rudy, dropped in and messed around with my intensity settings. I think for a moment he thought I was a big fish flopping around. But this guy rocks. He wants to go biking with me this weekend and really cares about each person who walks through the door. Heck, they all do. There's something to be said about the moment you walk through the door of a business early in the morning, and every face you see is genuinely happy to you see you there.

The rep did a terrific job; he listened patiently to my questions, showed me how to troubleshoot my problem, and removed a monthly surcharge that I didn't need to be paying (that last one really made me happy).
He followed up our phone conversation with an email that referred me to several excellent tutorials on their website.
After this happy experience, I was feeling the love, so I posted a two-sentence rave about the vendor on the Blogging Bistro Facebook page. Of course, I linked to the vendor's Facebook page so they could bask in the warm fuzzies. (I think that's a mixed metaphor, but who cares?) read more >

Press Release from Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Earned My Attention — and My Business
I somehow ended up on the mailing list of every PR agency in the United States. And several in Great Britain. And India.
Usually, I instantly delete the myriad of sales pitches I receive daily. But a press release from Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day caught my attention. It opened with the irresistible phrase:
"We'd love to send you a sample."
Not one to resist free samples — especially when they're scented candles from one of my favorite companies — I bit.
A few days later, my samples arrived, as promised. I've been enjoying the scents of my limited-edition holiday candle tins in Iowa Pine and Orange Clove "flavors." read more >

6 Reasons I'm Glad I Canceled My Newspaper Subscription
I am a news junkie. Reading the daily newspaper borders on an addiction for me.
Two years ago, I did the unthinkable (at least, in my mind). I canceled my subscription to the home-delivered print edition of my daily paper. Instead, I subscribed to the online versions of several newspapers.
As a freelance journalist myself, I felt as if I was somehow betraying my profession by canceling my subscription. But I must admit that opting out was one of the best decisions I've made. I now have an extra hour in my day to do things that are, frankly, more important than reading the paper…

Our SIMS server is visualised (p2v) running on 2008 R2 HyperV Host Server. The host server has 32Gb RAM and dual processors with 16 cores available.
The SIMS Server runs at 100% CPU most of the time which makes SIMS.net really sloooow. I've checked in the task manager and it is the SQL process (sqlservr.exe) that is the cause. Yet when I look at the host task manager it never goes over 2-3% cpu on any core. So the host processing power is not being passed to the guest.
The guest already has the max 4 logical processors and being 2003 x86 std I can't give it more than 4Gb RAM.
I've got to move SIMS over to a new 2008 x64 R2 server in the summer (which I hope would have better performance, being optimised for virtualization).
Is there anything I can do to speed up this 2003 virtual machine in the meantime?

From the Kids POV
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 04-26-2012 - 1:37pm
I just came across this interesting article from Huffington Post from the child's point of view on making sure he's spending enough time with each parent:
It's the bottom of the ninth. Full count, two outs and the bases are loaded. I could win the game with one accurate swing. The weight of the world is on my 10-year-old shoulders.
But standing there, staring into the pitcher's eyes, I'm not thinking about the fact that I could win or lose a big game for my team. I'm too worried about after the game -- and mom and dad sitting on opposite sides of the bleachers, their gaze cast down on me like white-hot spotlights.
When the game ends, win or lose, which parent will I go to first?
It might seem like a small-potatoes dilemma for a white suburban child of divorce. But awkward baseball games -- and all the divorce politics that come with them -- are some of my most vivid memories, mostly because they were the most stressful events of my young life. I mean, I could win a baseball game any time, but I had the emotional scarring and heart-breaking of two sets of parents to worry about.
Indeed, baseball games had so little to do with baseball, and so much to do with the divorce. It was as if two warring factions were meeting on the battlefield, and their tactics involved one-upping each other with better juice boxes at post-game snack time. My affection was the spoil of war.
They had their tactics, and I had mine. I took mental note of how many breaks I took with each parent, how many high fives I doled out and at what volume I called step-mom, "Mom." If I was on the mound, I made grinning glances at each of up to four parents between pitches. Seventh-inning stretch involved sitting and talking with each group for such precisely equal amounts of time, it made our supposedly "equal" visitation schedule look like it was organized by, well, children.
Should a child even be worried about who he's spending time with?

Re: Football Outsiders QB Rankings: Schaub #21
At this point, I don't give a lot of weight to the Football Outsider ranking or statistics. As the season goes on, I think the get better. IIRC, I read on there that at this point 75% of some their calculations are based off of PRESEASON performances (probably using some sort of weighted averages that require past performances.)
But there's also a bit of what they do that's a judgment call. Someone has to sit down with each play and say, "Oh, yeah. An average player would have gotten X yards on that play."
So... while I like their stuff and I think it's interesting, the bottom line is wins. At this point, we're winning and I'm loving that.

American wallets tighten up in government shutdown
DETROIT/CHICAGO (Reuters) - A deal over the U.S. budget crisis and government shutdown cannot come soon enough for many companies.
Some American consumers have put away their wallets, at least temporarily, avoiding purchases of big-ticket items like cars and recreational vehicles while Republican and Democratic Party lawmakers argue over fiscal policy.
"We're hearing so much more about the government shutdown now and it's not just a sentiment of being fed up, fear is really starting to set in," said Tammy Darvish, vice president of DARCARS Automotive Group, a family-run company that owns 21 auto dealerships in the greater Washington area.
Vehicle sales at the company are down as much as 15 percent so far this month compared with a 12 percent increase through the first nine months, she said. Consumers are also putting off non-critical car repairs in the service departments.
"We're sort of 'crises-ed' out," Darvish said. "Every time you turn around we're meeting another budget cutoff, but this time it's gone on a lot longer and people are very, very spooked."
On Wednesday, a last-ditch agreement in the U.S. Senate appeared to avoid a historic lapse in the government's borrowing authority and reopen partially shuttered federal agencies that have sidelined hundreds of thousands of workers for the past two weeks. Both the Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives were to vote later in the day on a measure for President Barack Obama to sign into law before Thursday's deadline.
Data released on Wednesday indicated that the Washington politics had affected economic growth and BlackRock Chief Executive Officer Laurence Fink said in an interview that CEOs were seeing "a slowdown from the American consumer ... and it's going to have an impact on job creation at a time when we need more job creation.
Standard & Poor's financial research firm said in a statement that the government shutdown had shaved at least 0.6 percent off of annualized fourth-quarter 2013 GDP growth, or taken $24 billion out of the economy.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday said U.S. growth continued to chug along at a "modest to moderate pace" in September and early October, but the shutdown had increased uncertainty. The Boston Fed, for instance, cited concerns of companies in the region about the potential affect of the shutdown on consumer demand.
David Westcott, chairman of the National Automobile Dealers Association, said in Detroit that sales and showroom traffic at his North Carolina dealership were down in the last 40 days, but he was unsure how much of that was due to the shutdown.
In Greenfield, Indiana, the owner of Mt. Comfort RV sounded a similar refrain to Darvish at her car company in Washington.
"When they announced the shutdown, it was almost like someone turned a switch off," said Ken Eckstein, who sells everything from $5,000 folding campers to $500,000 motor homes. "All of a sudden instead of talking to 10 people a day, we're talking to two."
Up to two weeks ago, Eckstein said his business was having its best sales year since 2006. He said other RV dealers have noticed a similar dropoff, but he acknowledged he was not sure if the budget impasse was the only reason.
"Is it gas prices? Is it interest rates? Is it phases of the moon?" he asked. "There are still people coming through the door, but on a nice, 80 degree day in October there should have been more."
The fears and drain on consumer confidence brought on by the stalemate in Washington are not hitting every corner of retail, however.
Toy demand heading into the holiday season is very strong at Mattel Inc MAT.N, the world's largest toy company. Berkshire Hathaway Inc's (BRKa.N) Warren Buffett said he has not seen a drop off in consumer confidence at its home furnishing and jewelry retailers.
"If this goes past tomorrow, we will see," Buffett told CNBC. "It won't cause me to change what I do in life, but we will definitely see something."
Even that "something" may prove to be short lived. After shares of appliance maker Whirlpool Corp took a hit early this week over fears of softening demand in September, Longbow Research analyst David MacGregor said the decline looked temporary.
"The good news is that we know from historical experience that consumer confidence typically recovers very quickly once the perceived threat has passed," MacGregor said.
A spokeswoman for Whirlpool declined to comment on Wednesday.
It was not just big-ticket items that remained in dealerships and stores over the past few weeks. Power tool maker Stanley Black & Decker Inc (SWK.N) on Wednesday cut its 2013 profit forecast partly because of the U.S. government spending cuts and shutdown. It also blamed slower-than-expected margin expansion in its security business.
The National Retail Federation said similar comments will be heard over and over across the country. The trade group, in a letter to congressional leaders, pointed to a Gallup poll showing consumer confidence now measures at the same low levels as during the recession that began in 2008.
In addition to hurting consumer confidence, the shutdown has had a more immediate impact on retailers, said NRF President Matthew Shay, citing a lack of economic data to concerns over processing of imported merchandise.
On Wednesday, the NRF said that on average 29 percent of consumers it polled believed the political gridlock over the U.S. budget would affect their holiday spending plans. In addition, eight of every 10 surveyed said they plan to spend less this year.
The housing market, another strong leg in the U.S. economic recovery, also appears to have taken a hit from the shutdown.
The National Association of Home Builders said on Wednesday that U.S. homebuilder sentiment slipped slightly in October on the policy gridlock and higher labor costs, while the Mortgage Bankers Association said mortgage applications for purchases dipped in the most recent week.
At Harley-Davidson Illinois, however, which operates four motorcycle dealerships around Chicago, bike shoppers did not appear to be unnerved.
"All four of the dealers have sales goals that were set before the shutdown," general manager Carole Ferguson said. "Some of us are right on target with those goals and a couple are a little off. But no one is reporting a drastic drop."

But soon, it's all for one when they find that the deranged farmer next door is the real threat. Hellraiser's Doug Bradley makes a cameo in this blood-drenched yet humor-laced terror treat from writer-director Paul Andrew Williams. REVIEW: Written by: Steve … Continue reading

This one's from Katherine Jean Lopez at Patheos. And she's quoting Pope Benedict here.
A particularly dangerous phenomenon for faith has arisen in our times: indeed a form of atheism exists which we define, precisely, as "practical", in which the truths of faith or religious rites are not denied but are merely deemed irrelevant to daily life, detached from life, pointless. So it is that people often believe in God in a superficial manner, and live "as though God did not exist" (etsi Deus non daretur). In the end, however, this way of life proves even more destructive because it leads to indifference to faith and to the question of God.
This one's from Fox Weekly and I figured it needed a rebuttal on the basis of
1. I got a day off due to protests and I have fast Internet (for India) finally
2. I have nothing much to do since I still haven't brought my books over to the new room.
So without further ado? Let's poke fun at this! [Read more…]
I have spoken to Dean Esmay before. Albeit on twitter where the 140 limit does not lend itself to great conversation. I found a rather strange individual who simply was out of depth in the kind of world of misogyny we exist in. He is a man who (if we speak kindly) doesn't get misogyny and bigotry.

There are a lot of conspiracy theories knocking around at the moment with regards to ebola. Everything from cover ups to magical Jewish conspiracy theories exist with regards to this deadly disease.
Richard Dawkins once said that the garden was beautiful enough without there having to be fairies at the bottom of the garden. I think this is the opposite. Ebola is a deadly disease without there being a need to involve allege Jewish Super Science. [Read more…]
We are often accused of being rude and unconstructive towards Christian fundamentalists. We are told that we shouldn't mock them. That we are making atheism unpopular by shining a light on every bigot, hypocrite and creationist we can find.
Here's the thing? This is a system of education we are looking at. Children are being taught this. This is guaranteeing that some children are taught incorrect things as facts and ensuring that they never have the proper education they deserve solely to ensure that Christianity is the one "real" faith in their lives. In that way we are giving up on the future of children when we make them read this sort of syllabus.
These are some rather choice excerpts from the ACE (Accelerated Christian Education) system.
This first set is on water.
Scientists have known for years that snowflakes are shaped in six-sided, or hexagonal, patterns. But why is this? Some scientists have theorised that the electrons within a water molecule follow three orbital paths that are positioned at 60° angles to one another. Since a circle contains 360°, this electronic relationship causes the water molecule to have six 'spokes' radiating from a hub (the nucleus). When water vapour freezes in the air, many water molecules link up to form the distinctive six-sided snowflakes and the hexagonal pattern is quite evident.
Just going to leave this here… I don't think the above statement is factual.
Snowflakes also contain small air pockets between their spokes. These air pockets have a higher oxygen content than does normal air. Magnetism has a stronger attraction for oxygen than for other gases. Consequently, some scientists have concluded that a relationship exists between a snowflake's attraction to oxygen and magnetism's attraction to oxygen.
I… you… what? Magnetism attracts oxygen? That's blatantly stupid.
Job 38:22, 23 states, 'Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?' Considering this scripture, some scientists believe that a tremendous power resides untapped within the water molecules from which snowflakes and hailstones are made.
Yes. Water is rather cool as a compound but it isn't magic.
How can this scripture, along with these observations about snowflakes, show us a physical truth? Scientists at Virginia Tech have produced electricity more efficiently from permanent magnets, which have their lines of force related to each other at sixty-degree angles, than from previous methods of extracting electricity from magnetism. Other research along this line may reveal a way to tap electric current directly from snow, eliminating the need for costly, heavy, and complex equipment now needed to generate electricity.
Yes. they are teaching children that you can generate energy from magnets and snow because a 2000 year old book used allegory to make them think so.
This one's a more medical related one.
Researchers have discovered that the hydrogen canopy that may have enclosed Earth before the Flood had some very interesting effects on plant and animal life. The hydrogen in the canopy absorbed blue light, but radiated red light, so the sky was pink rather than blue! Not only did pre-Flood man see the panorama of Creation "through rose-colored glasses," but the pink light had a definite effect on his mind and body. Modern scientists have discovered that pink light stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete a hormone called norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is both a tranquilliser and a neurotransmitter that both calms the person and sharpens his ability to think. The tranquilliser in the hormone can reduce stress and the accompanying medical complications (heart conditions, ulcers, etc) that come with our-hectic, modern-day lifestyles. Some drugs have the same tranquillising effect, but these drugs also decrease the ability to think and respond to the environment. The neurotransmitter in the norepinephrine sharpens the person's senses and enables him to think clearly by speeding up his nervous impulses.
O'rly? The Hydrogen Canopy theory? Because we randomly had tonnes of hydrogen up there that magically turned to water…
To my knowledge there is no effect from pink light that causes secretion of norepinephrine.
Directly increasing heart rate, triggering the release of glucose from energy stores, and increasing blood flow to skeletal muscle. It increases the brain's oxygen supply. It isn't a tranquiliser. It also causes vasoconstriction causing hypertension.
It doesn't reduce stress but increases it and increases complications of hypertension and tachycardia which are heart conditions. And labetelol which reduces hypertension does not affect your thinking.
Metal hydrogen not only filters blue light, but it also has a fiberoptic effects. This means that light from the sun was not only transmitted through the canopy, but was also spread out across the canopy. The light was dispersed around the world – even at night! At sunrise the sky was a vivid pink color. As the colour of the sky changed, the light grew in intensity throughout the morning, until it was a light pink at noon. As the light subsided during the afternoon, the color of the sky returned to vivid pink again at sunset.
Metal Hydrogen? This is all incredibly hypothetical and last I heard metal hydrogens are all solids.
The pink colour and the light dispersion worked together to create a perfect working condition. The pink morning sky caused the norepinephrine to begin flowing and stimulating the man to work. At noon, when the pink light and the norepinephrine production were at their peak, the man worked most efficiently. The decreasing intensity of the pink light in the afternoon gradually calmed the person so that by sunset he was relaxed and ready for a peaceful night's sleep.
Then why didn't the magical god recreate this amazing feat of magic?
Modern scientists are just now discovering what Christians have always believed – that God's Creation was perfect.
For more information on the subject of Creation model, you might like to read the book Panorama of Creation by Dr Carl Baugh. You might also want to read some of the numerous books on Creation written by Dr Henry M Morris or other contemporary Christian scientists.

TSC Ratings' Updates: Eastman Kodak
The following ratings changes were generated on Monday, Feb. 2.
We've downgraded Acxiom (ACXM), which provides customer and information management solutions for various companies worldwide, from hold to sell, driven by its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow, generally weak debt management and decline in the stock price during the past year.
Net income decreased significantly, by 120.8%, compared with the same quarter last year, underperforming both the S&P 500 and the IT services industry. Return on equity also greatly decreased, a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Net operating cash flow decreased to $78.9 million, or 39.3%. Acxiom's debt-to-equity ratio is weak, but its 1.2 quick ratio is somewhat strong, demonstrating its ability to handle short-term liquidity needs.
Shares are down 8.1% over the past year, in part reflecting the market's overall decline. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.We've downgraded AMB Property (AMB), which engages in the acquisition, development, and operation of industrial properties, from hold to sell, driven by its feeble growth in its earnings per share, deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself. AMB property experienced a steep decline in earnings per share of 727.3% in the most recent quarter compared with the year-ago quarter. Earnings per share have declined over the last two years, and we anticipate that this should continue in the coming year. Net income fell 303.7% compared with the year-ago quarter, and ROE also greatly decreased, underperforming the industry average and the S&P 500. AMB's debt-to-equity ratio of 1.6 is below the industry average, suggesting that this level of debt is acceptable within the REIT industry.

|I have a 30 gallon tank with about a dozen different tropicals. I had a betta in there, who died yesterday. I am missing him and wanting to get another. I am wondering if they are better in their own tank. In the past I have fed my fish every other day. I have read recently that betta's like to eat more often. He seemed to be happy in his big tank with all his buddies, but maybe not. Maybe he would have been happier in his own tank, maybe next to the big tank so he could see into the other tank, but have his own space. Also, I have read that it seems the males are more aggressive. Can one have two females in one tank?
Follow-Up Postings:
|How old was yours when he died? Mine usually live about 4 years.
I keep bettas separate because of the fish I have in my other tanks. They will do fine in a tank with other fish, though, as long as there is nothing that will pick at their fins or kill them.
They aren't aggressive towards other fish, but like any fish, will chase anything it can eat. They need something to hide behind or in, too, like some floating plants, or decorations. I keep mine in a gallon tank, except when it gets cold in the winter, then they go into small containers and float in a heated tank. Males are more aggressive, but usually just with other bettas, especially males. You can keep two females in one tank, but sometimes they are aggressive, too, so keep an eye on them. They're usually fine, an aggressive female is the exception.
|He was only a few months old. Fine one day, the next day not so much, the next evening gone. I decided I think I will get a seperate tank for my next one. I looked at a very nice one today that is five gallons. Looking at the bettas I definitly want to get a male, the seem much prettier, unlike in the human species.... I see there are so many varieties, elephant ears, double, can't think of the others... I'll need to get a little heater too. Any words of wisdom would be oh so greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your response.

|Try a 2-1/2 gallon tank with a small heater.
As for getting a male, that is certainly your preference but I find that girl bettas have lots of personality, spunk and are very active. Plus, you might enjoy a sorority tank of female bettas but you'll need a 10-gallon tank minimum. Once the pecking order has been established, you'll have a beautiful tank of lovely girl bettas.
|Thank you for your input. Before I read it I had gone out and got a five gallon. It's a nice set up. I have a little heater in there and got a male halfmoon tail betta boy. Actually just set it up a few hours ago, had gotten the tank a few days ago and went and got my boy this morning. He seems pretty shy, but I think he is getting used to his new home.
- Posted by tammypie 9 (email@example.com) on Mon, Nov 12, 12 at 1:58
|Do you have a filter for your new 5-gallon tank? I'm not sure if you're supposed to cycle your 5 gallon tank or not; I know you have to with larger aquariums.
I see him in the background. What a cutie. I think bettas like the solitary life.
|Oops, just reposted this pic on another post..ah well. The tank actually came with a filter built in. I tried adding a couple ghost shrimp yesterday. I might not have waited long enough for the water to neutalize, but they died pretty quickly after I put them in. For a long time I couldn't see them and thought he had eaten them straight away. He just seems lonely. When I'm not in here he hangs at the back top of the tank in one spot.
|Ok, Correction...Just noticed a movement in my betta tank, apparently they don't call them ghost fish for nothing. At least one of them is alive!
|So now a new dilemma. If I can't see those little ghost shrimp, when I do my weekly change, how will I avoid not suckin' them up? I suppose if I had different color stones down there I could see them better. Guess I'll just hope for the best, and refrain from getting ghosts in the future.

The BBC's live-music show Later With Jools Holland just began its newest season, and one of its first guests was Neneh Cherry, who just returned with the Four Tet-produced Blank Project, her first solo album in 18 years. Cherry is Swedish, not British, but she recorded her earliest tracks in the UK and found her greatest success there, and her circa-"Buffalo Stance" tough-chick persona has informed a few different generations of London musicians, so it's cool to see her back on British TV. On the show, she did the album's intense, devotional title track, while the London duo Rocketnumbernine backed her up. Watch the performance below.
Blank Project is out now on Smalltown Supersound.
