"Best chocolate cake ever. I thought I had done something wrong when the ganache was very runny and not fluffy at all - however, after a couple of hours in the frig it was perfect for frosting the cake. Took 3 T of marmalade to cover first layer. Took caramel off the heat as soon as it started to develop color. Cooled it and drizzled it on the top ""

Yes, to be fair, we are comparing apples to pre-cable-era oranges, but still... This addictive Wikipedia list sure puts the viewership for the "Lost" finale in perspective, now doesn't it? For a network drama today, "Lost's" 13.5 million viewers is a solid number, but good for only 55th all time. And it's dizzying to think that many, many more people tuned into the finales of "Jake and the Fat Man," "Major Dad," and "JAG."
On the bright side, "Lost" did squeak past the finale of "Life Goes On." Suck it, Corky!

One way to verify the accuracy of what we say is to research it yourself. One good way to do that is to read some
artificial grass reviews
. We're proud to have received positive reviews that verify what we say about our products. Check our testimonials page.
The cost of installing a lawn from scratch can be prohibitive. Sodding, watering, seeding, fertilizing and weeding may all be needed before you even really have a lawn. With our artificial grass residential lawns are simply not that costly. Once the installation is completed, you can immediately use the lawn. Even better, from that time your synthetic lawn will save money by reducing the cost of maintenance to virtually nothing. You will never need to feed, seed, weed or water your artificial grass for lawns, yet it will always look green and beautiful. So, going forward, you will not use fossil fuel, you won't add to air and noise pollution, and you won't add chemical fertilizers and herbicides to the environment. Perhaps best of all, over the long life of the product, you will never need to water it. That can save you thousands of gallons of water, as your artificial grass residential lawn can last up to 25 years.
If necessary, you can remove leaves and other debris with a broom or lawn rake or leaf blower. If, after a time, it starts to look dingy, just spraying off the dust with a garden hose will restore it to it's green beauty. Brushing with a broom will raise matted down areas, and you can place pavers or stepping stones in high traffic areas so you can avoid even that small amount of work. The time and money that your artificial lawn grass saves, combined with the benefits to the environment, truly make it a product whose time has come. It is especially valuable in areas where drought or water shortages are common. Even during a drought, when watering lawns is prohibited, your ProLawn Turf artificial grass residential lawn will remain green, beautiful and appealing. For the most part, all you need to do is enjoy it.
ProLawn Turf makes 4 grades of
artificial grass reviews
for lawns, so you'll be sure to get the grade that best suits your geographical and personal needs. All grades have our permeable Eco-Flo backing, so water can never puddle up and provide a breeding ground for noxious insects. This is definitely not the Astro Turf that your grandfather knew. It is much more advanced in design and performance, and it's even lead an nylon free so, when it's useful life is done, most of our products are 100% recyclable, so they won't end up adding to the landfill problem. ProLawn Turf synthetic grass is green in more ways than just it's color.
You don't need to restrict your use of synthetic turf to artificial grass for lawns. It's good for rooftop gardens, sports fields, medians, putting greens, pool surrounds, dog runs and dog kennels, and play areas for children, to name a few uses.
If you want to install it yourself, we'll train you. If that's not practical, we can refer you to a trained contractor. To learn more about our artificial grass contact us today.

Legend of the Seas Cruise Review by franzthree: Great ship, mediocre food, shadow puppets?
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Legend of the Seas Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruises
Great ship, mediocre food, shadow puppets?
What a lovely ship. I understand it was recently refurbished and they did a pleasingly calm, tasteful job. I have been on 15 cruises with three different lines-Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Carnival. Other than the Valor, I enjoyed this decor the most. Our room was a large interior cabin on the 7th floor. Nevel was a great room steward who was very helpful.
Forget the cruise director! I think his name was Keith. Honestly, I have tried to forget him. He was rude and condescending to his cohort and was even forced to"apologize" to him on their "live" morning show. He failed at that by backhandedly blaming his cohort for deserving it!
Also, the last nights shadow puppet performance was just odd.
I totally agree with another reviewer's take on the food. We ate in the dining room every evening! BUT only because we had such great table mates. The food was mediocre at best. Never bad, never good. Definitely boring. Great servers who pushed pepper every course to More
try to enhance the bland food.
None of these things would cause me to dismiss another cruise on the Legend. Although, I will never use their transportation from the port to the airport again. RC led us to believe our transportation would handle our luggage from cabin to airport, they did not. I purchased this transportation due to my 70 year old aunt and 70 year old mother needing help. We had to pick up our luggage and check it twice before we even got to the bus that took it to the airport.
I would recommend the choice air option if you fly to the port. We got a good deal on airfare and everything was seemless and easy. Less

[477] The National Impact of the Rising Incidence of Scalp Melanoma in Central Texas
Cary Chisholm, Chad Housewright, John F Greene, Charles Verheyden. Scott & White Memorial Hospital, Temple, TX
Background: Melanoma is a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer that has a fluctuating prognosis depending on the depth of invasion and site of origination. The head and neck region, specifically the scalp, has been described by several authors as the anatomic location with the highest morbidity and mortality, and several epidemiological causes for the poor prognosis have been proposed. These include the presence of hair obscuring visual inspection of the scalp, more intense and prolonged exposure to the sun, as well as increased vasculature and lymphatic drainage allowing for rapid metastasis. With such a significant proportion of the United States population reaching the age distribution of this malignancy, we sought to specifically evaluate melanomas occurring in the hair-bearing portion of the scalp.
Design: To accomplish our stated objectives, we examined 35 patients with scalp melanoma diagnosed between 1976 and June, 2009. A retrospective chart review was performed after permission was obtained from the Institutional Review Board. We collected data pertaining to the patient demographics and tumor characteristics.
Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 69 years. Scalp melanoma was diagnosed in males more than 6 times as frequently as in females. Superficial spreading melanoma was the most common subtype. Seven patients (20%) expired due to metastatic melanoma with a median overall survival of 3.4 years. When compared to patients who survived or those who died of unrelated causes, those patients who expired due to melanoma progression exhibited different characteristics.
Age | Breslow Depth | Ulceration | Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes | |
Died of Melanoma | 70.4 | 2.11 mm | 2 of 7 (28.6%) | 2 of 6 (33.3%)* |
Others | 69 | 1.79 mm | 3 of 28 (10.7%) | 16 of 27 (59.3%)* |

Voters face crowded ballots for 1st District
Voters in the 1st Congressional District - both the old and the new - have a crowded and contentious primary ballot to choose from when they decide next week who moves on to the November ballot and a two-year term in Congress.
Associated Press
Voters in the 1st Congressional District - both the old and the new - have a crowded and contentious primary ballot to choose from when they decide next week who moves on to the November ballot and a two-year term in Congress.
Voters in the newly redistricted 1st District - which runs from northern King County to the Canadian border, encompassing areas in Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties - have five Democrats, one Republican and one independent to choose from on the Aug. 7 primary ballot. The top two vote-getters will advance to the November ballot.
Recent polls show Republican John Koster leading the pack and easily advancing to November. Democrat and political activist Darcy Burner had been leading former Microsoft executive Suzan DelBene in polls until recently, when DelBene, who has had TV ads on the air for about a month, took a slight lead over Burner for the second spot.
"That collision for the second runoff spot is ferocious," said David Ammons, a spokesman for Secretary of State Sam Reed. "There will be a lot of attention on this race."
Of the 10 congressional seats on the primary ballot, the 1st District has been the one to watch since earlier this year, when former U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee resigned to focus on his race for governor.
The timing of his departure meant the primary for the special election to fill the remaining month of his term is on the same ballot as the primary for the regular election for the 2013-2015 term.
Because of redistricting, the district takes on a new shape in January, moving farther east and north. As a result, the state has been forced to hold one election to temporarily replace Inslee under the old boundaries, which included Kitsap County, and another vote under the new boundaries. Some areas of old and new overlap, so some voters will be casting ballots in both elections.
In addition to DelBene and Burner, other Democrats vying for the new 1st District two-year term are state Sen. Steve Hobbs; former state Rep. Laura Ruderman; and Bothell high-tech entrepreneur Darshan Rauniyar.
Koster, a Snohomish County councilman, is the only Republican in the race, and Larry Ishmael is running as an independent. DelBene, Burner, Koster and Ishmael have all fallen short in prior runs for Congress.
The state Democratic Party had hoped it had an agreement on one candidate - Snohomish County Councilman Brian Sullivan - to run in the special election for the one-month replacement term. But at the filing deadline in May, Burner entered that race in addition to the two-year contest, causing all but Hobbs and Ishmael to follow suit.
Also filing for the special election were J. Bryon Holcomb, Brian Berry and Ruth Morrison, all Democrats; Republican Steven Gerdes; and independent Bob Champion.
Because of the geographic differences between the old and new 1st District, it's possible that different candidates could emerge in each race.
"It's going to be an interesting twist to an already interesting race," Ammons said.
A political action committee funded by Ruderman's mother has been attacking mostly DelBene but has sent out mailers against Burner as well, prompting a supporter of DelBene to file a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission. Ruderman insists there was no coordination between her campaign and the activities of the committee and asked for the end of the negative campaigning by the political action committee.
DelBene, who has received support from much of the state's Democratic establishment, has mostly self-funded her campaign, donating $2.3 million so far. She has raised more than her Democratic opponents combined. At a candidate forum last week, Burner apparently referred to DelBene when she talked about a candidate who "decided rather than to raise the money for the election, she would try to buy it."
DelBene has brushed off the criticism and noted that she's received nearly half a million in individual donations as well.
"I think if I'm going to ask other voters to invest in my campaign I should also do my part, and I have," she said.
The new district is more politically evenly split than the old, giving Republicans hope for a seat they haven't held since 1998, when Inslee first won it.
A comparison between the 2010 U.S. Senate race between Democrat Patty Murray and Republican Dino Rossi and the 2008 governor's race between Rossi and Gov. Chris Gregoire shows the new 1st District has gone from being nearly 56 percent Democratic to nearly 51 percent Republican, according to numbers provided by the secretary of state's office.
Daniel Scarpinato, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, noted the areas comprising the newly drawn 1st District have elected Democrats and Republicans in prior elections.
"It's a competitive seat," he said. "It's one that nobody can take for granted."
That competition is evident by the number of Democrats crowded into the primary field, something that national Democrats say will create a stronger general election candidate.
"It's always good to have a vibrant debate and all of the Democrats are certainly better known to the 1st than they were a few months ago," said Stephen Carter, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
At the recent forum, each candidate talked about the issues they'd like to be identified with.
Burner said she wanted to "restore government of, by and for the people, not government bought and paid for by large corporations and multimillionaires." DelBene promised to stand up for the middle class, while Hobbs said he'd like to bring civility back into politics.
Ruderman said she wanted to rebuild the economy with a focus on expanding access to affordable health care. Darshan noted he's not a career politician and would bring a different perspective to Washington, and Koster said he wanted to find solutions to issues that didn't involve larger government programs.

Diamond Date Save the Date Magnets They turned out perfect! Very sturdy magnet. I was actually surprised at how sturdy it is! it is able to hold things up on the fridge (more than one sheet of paper). If i could give the rating a 4.75 instead of a 5 then i would have. My only complaint: It states that you receive extras if there are any due to how the printing process works...the problem, i didn't get enough envelopes!! I was 6 envelopes short :( disappointed at that. Overall though, i am thoroughly impressed at the design, colors, everything. Perfect.

The name of this product is very misleading. It is not a scrub, but a cleanser. It clearly states this on the back of the bottle. And using it as such gave me the most pretty, glowing skin. It was just enough of a scrub to exfoliate, but it didn't rub my skin raw. And I loved the smell! I must have used another product once that had the same scent because it reminds me of spring. If this wasn't long discontinued, I would buy it again.
I really like the texture of this, it's perfect for skin that is normal/dry. It feels like a creamy moisturiser with sand grains in it so it's not too harsh on my dry skin. My skin feels cleansed and fresh after washing it off. As for the smell, I'm not sure I like it, it does smell like pomegranate (as stated on the back) but it's slightly sour. It's not too drying and the results = smooth skin!
More reviews by stephaniejadexo
I definitely recommend this product - I love it. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. I have oily skin and since using this i have found it has helped prevent oil build up during the day. Its a creamy gel like texture with exfoliating beads. I use it to clean my face everyday morning and night. This doesnt dry out my skin, it leaves my face feeling soft but at the same time prevents oiliness which is great. I will continue to keep buying it!
I like this scrub as it is gently,has a lovely smell, and really cleans my skin. I gave it a 4 because I wish that it was a little effective as a scrub.
The package it comes in is a bit big, as it lasts me 1 yr!
It's great for getting off concealer and makeup, and for daily use. But if you want a scrub I recommend Philosophy-micromassage scrub.
In Asia, there are so many varieties of this scrub. I use the ph balanced one for normal skin. It does a good job of exfoliating without overdrying. I use it few times a week. It is quite inexpensive, will repurchase again.
i like this. the smell is nice, the scrubbies are gentle and the gel seems to refresh my face. although i'd need something with a bit more exfoliating power for a real 'scrub', this is nice for everyday use and i'd get it again.
More reviews by silverlollipop
I don't use this as a scrub since the scrubbing ability is not that great. Instead I use it as a morning cleanser. It's gentle and mild and takes away the dirt and oil effectively without drying the skin. However, it doesnt take off makeup though. I wouldn't buy it again since there is nothing so special but overall this is a good product if you're looking for a gentle cleanser.
This is more of a gel cleanser than a scrub.The beads as so few and far between that you'd be lucky if one square centimeter of your face got any action. So judging it as a scrub this product should get 0. As a cleanser it is OK, but there are so many superior cleansers out there (Make Up Artist's Choice Green Tea soap, PC's Cleanser for Normal/dry, and Sage's to mention a few) that I would suggest passing on this one altogether.

My banana tree has a nice bunch of green bananas that I am afraid won't ripen before we get a freeze.
Any suggestions? A couple of years ago we tried putting some in a bag with store bought over ripe ones, ours turned yellow but did not ripen on the inside. We got a bunch a few weeks ago that did ripen on the tree, they were really good. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bring the whole bunch in on the stalk before a hard frost or freeze. We hung our stalk on the hall tree and when they ripened, made banana pudding! Note: Even in the hot climates where bananas are grown commercially, they don't let the fruit ripen on the trees. |

City of Winter is Now on Sale
Harness the Dark Elves' hatred in your games of Warhammer: Invasion today! |
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game | Published 25 January 2012 |
In the midwinter of 1728, the northern reaches of Naggaroth were invaded by a huge army of Chaos-worshipping barbarians… Malekith personally saw to the destruction of the interlopers… To ensure the northern tribes were punished for their insolence, Malekith then commanded the Beastmasters of nearby Karond Kar to launch a counter-invasion deep into the homelands of those who dared sully Dark Elf soil with their presence.
–Warhammer, "Blood on the Snow"
The hour of the Dark Elf invasion has arrived! City of Winter, the fifth Battle Pack in The Capital Cycle for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game, is now on sale at your local retailer and online on our webstore.
Hatred. Malice. Vengeance.
The Dark Elves have enslaved nearly half of 60 new cards of City of Winter (3 copies each of 20 different cards), making this Battle Pack an excellent early step for players looking to unleash the Dark Elves' fury upon their foes.
The Dark Elves love to disrupt their opponents' plans. They discard cards, steal resources, drop units' hit points, and even seize control of their opponents' cards. City of Winter bolsters these strategies with powerful new units, locations, and tactics. The Dark Elves gain a new Hero who can destroy developments or Fortifications when he attacks, a powerful Fortification in the form of the Harpy Aerie (City of Winter, 93), and a Capital Center that reflects their sheer hatred of their foes.
Recurring themes of order and destruction
As the Dark Elves launch their assaults from the City of Winter, the forces of Order gain new strength with which to defend themselves, and each of the Old World's races gains a powerful, recurring tactic, which can lead to stronger and stronger strategies as the battles progress.
The time has come for hatred without end as the Dark Elves unleash the malicious new schemes they hatched behind the vast walls of Naggarond, the Tower of Cold. Cruel and cold-hearted, the Dark Elves march out of the City of Winter, seeking nothing less than dominion over the whole of the Old World.
Head to your local retailer to grab your copy of City of Winter today, or buy it online at our webstore!
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a card game by Eric M. Lang in which 2 players develop their kingdoms and lay waste to their foes. Each side is comprised of either the forces of Order or the forces of Destruction as they seek to extend their empire to include the entire Old World. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Battle Pack expansions to the core game.
The best battlepack in the cycle. Cards like Convocation of Eagles for the weakest HE, Desertion countering Warpstone and Village economy or card like Clan Moulder's Elite, Fist of Mork amazing new tactic for Orcs allowing infinity combo with Lord of Change and Urguck and... very good DE cards supporting discard from hand, discard from deck, long waitning cheap agressive unit, first card for DE to destroy developments. Good work.
FFG I love this game, where are we going to see another deluxe expansion??

BENEDICT XVI Clementine Hall
Thank you for your visit which enables me to know the activities that your praiseworthy Associations carry out as part of the Forum of Family Associations and the European Federation of Catholic Family Associations. I offer a cordial greeting to each one of you who are present here and in the first place to Mr Giovanni Giacobbe, President of the Forum, to whom I am grateful for his kind words on your behalf. This meeting is taking place on the occasion of the annual celebration of the International Day of the Family which was yesterday, 15 May. To emphasize the importance of the occasion, you have wished to organize a special Congress with a timely theme: "Alliance for the family in Europe: Associations in the leading role", in order to address the experiences of various forms of family associations and to sensitize government leaders and the public opinion concerning the central and irreplaceable role carried out by the family in our society. In fact, as you rightly point out, any political policy that looks well into the future cannot fail to make the family the focus of its attention and planning. This year, as you know well, we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Encyclical Humanae Vitae and the 25th anniversary of the promulgation of the Charter of the Rights of the Family, presented by the Holy See on 22 October 1983. These two Documents share a common inspiration since the former strongly reasserts the quality of spousal love, courageously going against the tide of the prevalent culture, selfless and open to life, the latter highlights those inalienable rights that permit the family, founded on the marriage of a man and a woman, to be the natural cradle of human life. The Charter of the Rights of the Family in particular, addressed primarily to Governments, offers all those who are invested with responsibility regarding the common good a model and a reference point for the elaboration of a sound legislation for family policies. At the same time, the Charter is addressed to all families, inspiring them to join forces in the defence and promotion of their rights. And in this regard your associations are particularly well-adapted to implement the spirit of the above-mentioned Charter of the Rights of the Family in the best way.
We are well aware of the many challenges facing families today, and we know how difficult it is, in current social conditions, to achieve the ideal of fidelity and solidarity in conjugal love, to bring up children, and to preserve the harmony of the family unit. While on the one hand - thanks be to God - there are shining examples of good families, open to the culture of life and love, on the other hand, sadly, an increasing number of marriages and families are in crisis. From so many families, in a worryingly precarious state, we hear a cry for help, often an unconscious one, which clamours for a response from civil authorities, from ecclesial communities and from the various educational agencies. Accordingly, there is an increasingly urgent need for a common commitment to support families by every means available, from the social and economic point of view, as well as the juridical and spiritual. In this context, I am pleased to recommend and encourage certain initiatives and proposals that have emerged in the course of your Conference. I am thinking, for example, of the laudable commitment to mobilize citizens in support of the initiative for "Family-friendly fiscal policy", urging Governments to promote family-related policies that give parents a real possibility of having children and bringing them up in the family. For believers, the family, the cell of communion on which society is founded, resembles a "domestic church in miniature" called to reveal God's love to the world. Dear brothers and sisters, help families to be a visible sign of this truth, to defend the values inscribed in human nature itself, and therefore common to all humanity, that is: life, the family and education. These are not principles that derive from a confession of faith but rather from the application of justice that respects every person's rights. This is your mission, dear Christian families! May you never lack trust in the Lord and communion with him in prayer and in the constant reference to his Word. Thus, you will be witnesses of his Love, not merely relying on human resources, but firmly based on the rock that is God, enlivened by the power of his Spirit. May Mary, Queen of the Family, as a bright Star of hope guide the journey of all humanity's families. With these sentiments, I very gladly bless you who are present here and all who belong to the various Associations that you represent. © Copyright 2008 - Libreria Editrice Vaticana |

Like most schools, teachers at New Milford High School spend time on duty at lunch, in the halls and at in-school suspension rooms.
But this year, the 55 teachers from this New Jersey school didn't have to do these duties for two or three 48-minute periods a week. And only one teacher had these duties at a time instead of two.
This simple policy change enables what's been called the 80/20 principle, a theory practiced by Google that employees who spend 20 percent of their time on company-related projects that interest them will work better.
In similar fashion, New Milford teachers now have more time to follow their work-related passions, Principal Eric Sheninger said. During these professional development periods, the teachers are coming up with interdisciplinary projects, new assessments and ways to integrate technology into their students' learning.
"We really want teachers to be innovative and creative," Sheninger said. "For us to make that possible, we need to empower them to really pursue those areas that they're motivated by."
Math teacher Kanchan Chellani spends her time researching and putting concepts into practice in the classroom. She created case studies where students apply math in the real world using computers in the lab or netbooks in class.
"Once we have a unit and I teach the content, I usually like to integrate technology and make sure the students understand the significance of the material they've been taught," Chellani said.
She finds videos on the secure social learning network Edmodo that lay the foundation for a math concept. Students watch these videos outside of class. The next day, they come to class with questions and apply what they learned by doing projects.
During her search for videos, Chellani discovered that many of them didn't cover foundational concepts. So she started creating her own using the digital content creation software Adobe Captivate. She also started evaluating the concepts she teaches and decided to move away from teaching "to the textbook."
Without this built-in time every week, Chellani said she wouldn't be able to work on these projects.
Through end-of-year conferences, Sheninger found out that other teaches had students blog in their English classes and create YouTube videos instead of traditional lab reports.
"I don't know if that stuff would have happened if this time wasn't made available," Sheninger said.
New Milford's vice principal was concerned about who would take on the out-of-classroom responsibilities in lieu of the teachers. So Sheninger and his two administrators took on the teachers' duties. A school resource officer also helps out. And the school hasn't seen an increase in behavioral incidents on campus, school officials said.
Sheninger and his administrators also free up their own time to help teachers with education technology, social media, classroom management, cooperative learning or anything else that's needed.
This focus on flexibility also entered into the realm of teacher development.
At first, the school specified the amount of video hours teachers needed to watch and reflect on through the on-demand online professional development tool PD 360. They also had teachers participate in Simple K-12's Teacher Learning Community.
But based on teacher feedback and a reassessment of goals, the administrative team gave teachers more flexibility rather than mandates.
Toward the end of the school year, teachers turned in logs that included the topics they studied and how the projects they did enhanced the teaching and learning process.
The teachers also created a portfolio of what they did. Next year, they'll be able to choose a method of putting together their portfolio that they're comfortable with, whether it's a plastic binder or a Google site. They'll keep reflection journals as well.
Just as teachers try to differentiate instruction for their students, administrators need to differentiate professional development for teachers, Sheninger said.
"The ultimate goal or reward will be that we'll start to see more innovative activities, more calculated risk taking, effective integration of technology, and students coming to class more excited and engaged to learn because their teachers are more excited and engaged," Sheninger said.

Money Market Memo: Staring at the ceiling ... again
We hope the recent show of bipartisan cooperation that allowed Congress to agree on a budget and avoid another government shutdown doesn't prove to be fleeting. But with another debt-ceiling deadline rapidly approaching, and with politics being what they are—particularly in this era of seemingly endless gamesmanship—we feel it is appropriate to reiterate some thoughts on the issue in case Washington lawmakers are unable to resolve the matter as quickly as anticipated.
To be clear, we continue to believe the United States will not default on its financial obligations—ever. The debt ceiling that was suspended last October as part of the deal struck to end the government shutdown and fiscal showdown is set to be reinstated Feb. 7. However, the U.S. Treasury is expected to have approximately $30 billion in cash on hand at the time as well as about $200 billion of "extraordinary measures" at its disposal to continue to meet the financial obligations of the federal government at least through the month.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is being a little coy about the actual drop-dead date, but projections from most analysts suggest the Treasury won't actually run out of money if nothing is done until well into March. While we anticipate this latest debt ceiling go-round will be resolved without the heightened drama of last October, we would not be surprised if tensions began to build in the upcoming weeks. Contingency planning has become a necessary part of all of our lives in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, and as such we understand the need for shareholders to contemplate what the world might look like in the event of a technical default, and how money market funds could be affected. Of note:
- First, Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 2a-7, which governs money market funds, does not require that a fund dispose of a security that is in default. Rather, it permits the fund to continue to hold such a security, provided the board of directors of the fund has determined that disposal of the security would not be in the best interests of the fund. Rule 2a-7 indicates such determination may take into account, among other factors, market conditions that could affect the orderly disposition of the security. Given the expectation that any potential technical default on U.S. Treasury securities would be very short-lived, it is possible a fund's board could make the determination to continue to hold the security. It is also reasonable to assume that such a holding could be valued taking into consideration the expectation of being paid in full once the dust settles.
- Second, although all short-term securities might exhibit some degree of volatility during this uncertain but likely very short technical default time frame, we would expect the market reaction to remain substantially below the threshold at which significant downward pressure would be exerted on the net asset values (NAVs) of money market funds. All things being equal, it would take an instantaneous increase in rates on short-term securities of approximately 300 basis points—the majority of which are currently trading at yields below 10 basis points—before the NAV of a money market fund with a 60-day average maturity would be in danger of breaking a buck. Even the market disruption from last October resulted in yield increases on isolated securities with very short-term maturities of well below these levels.
- Finally, there has been anecdotal evidence of some selling of Treasury securities with maturities around the time frame when the extraordinary measures are expected to run out. Although we remain steadfast in our belief that Congress will not allow a default, we are less confident in the actions of other investors in the front end of the market. As a result, we have avoided reinvestment of maturing securities in the March time frame and currently have no exposure to that area in any of our money market portfolios.
Federated's money market funds are absolutely committed to maintaining liquidity to meet the needs of their shareholders in the event that an increase in the debt ceiling is delayed. Rule 2a-7 already requires money market funds to maintain stringent minimum liquidity buffers for daily and weekly liquidity needs. As we have done heading into similar periods in the past, Federated would expect to continuously evaluate the potential liquidity needs of its money market funds and augment their existing liquidity position with greater daily or weekly positions, cash balances or alternate liquidity sources should it appear necessary if the conflict continues. In spite of—if not because of—the dysfunction in Washington, we want to reassure our shareholders that we have their best interests at heart with respect to safety and liquidity at all times.

While researching Welsh mariners, I ran across the following websites of note. As always, these are just a few of many great sources.
Welsh Mariners Over 23,000 Welsh Merchant Mariners are listed on this site, covering the years 1800 to 1945. There is also a Royal Navy database covering the years 1795 to 1815, with about 3,000 men listed. The site is bilingual, free and the database is easy to use.
Swansea Mariners and the Cardiff Mariner's Database. Another free database, very clear and easy to use. The site includes ship owners and ship registers, as well as information about mariners.
Milford Trawlers Fishing vessels, skippers, a chronology of Milford and Peacetime and Civilian Wartime losses for the period 1888 – 1988, are some of the highlights of this website.
Irish Shipwrecks A searchable database of ships that wrecked off the coast of Ireland. Sometimes only the name of the vessel and where it sank, but in many cases the entries include the information about the ship, owners and a brief history.
Coastguards of Yesteryear Articles, records and information about Coastguards who lived and worked around the Irish coastline (1700-1800′s). The forums include discussion groups for genealogy, medals and general maritime information. Welsh born coastguards from the 1901 and 1911 Census of Ireland are included.
Newspaper sources
Old Mersey Times I've provided a link to the shipping section, but there is much more to this website than that. Old Mersey Times has transcribed snippets from Liverpool and Merseyside newspapers. The articles cover everything from Bankruptcies to Wills and Bequests.
Cambrian Index Online A search using "ships and shipping" returned 29,000 articles (1804-1927) such as the following: Ships and Shipping, Shipwrecks, South Wales – 28 January 1804 – The 'THOMAS AND BETSEY' Went To Pieces On Portcall Point (Jan 20th, One Dead).
These websites are all free to use and contain a wealth of information. I'm continually amazed by the hundreds and hundreds of hours that website owners such as these have spent transcribing records and making them available for us to view. Thank you all!!
If you know of any other sites that cover Welsh mariners, I'd love to hear about them. All of these sites can be found on the main link library at Ancestral Wales

BellSouth Will Charge Providers For Performance
Re:Huh? Somebody please explain! (594 comments)
I think that the caller paying for himself and the callee is the stupid idea.
Both people paying makes more sense, unless someone regulates the sh*t out of it. By that I mean fixed costs for sending calls to another provider. When I call someone, I do not want to worry whether I am calling landline or cell. It should not be my problem, and yet it is.
Both people paying for their sides of communication makes sense.
In fact this is what is currently the model for costs on the net. Both people pay for the bandwidth they use.
Bellsouth want to shift more of the cost onto the website providers, similar to the caller pays both model.
And hence it comes with the same stupidity that the cell phone caller pays model has.
It's interesting that at least one cell provider is now advertising "no cost for incoming calls"
You know, if bellsouth will be able to extort $10/month from websites that pass through it, they will be able to reduce their prices to consumers and advertise lower cost to use the same internet. Thus more people will end up using this whole extorion scheme.
OTOH, perhaps the internet connectivity should be paid only by websites, they are the ones generating the revenue. Maybe they should pay for both sides of traffic. What do you think. It works for cell phones, right!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chloe!
Facts about Chloe
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Cream Or Ivory
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Chloe's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Chloe is a lovely kitty.
Her foster mom is Sonja
Other Pets at Cats Haven, Ltd
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chloe, a Indianapolis Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Indianapolis, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Indianapolis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Indianapolis already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Indianapolis breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Indianapolis paves the way for another one to be saved.

Re:No problem (423 comments)
Seriously not a good reason. Problem is, people who can not accept how IT works, and evolve, should just use pen and paper and be safer for it.
Or they will just suffer the consequences, or the rest of us will, whenever their pc become part of a botnet.
Yes, there are systems that are running equipment, which has to run its life before it can be retired along with whatever version of any operating system it came with.
It is just how it is, and those who are responsible for those systems will just have to sandbox them the best they can.
But honestly any private person, who is not running expensive equipment (no your US robotics 33.6 modem is NOT part of that list), have about zero excuses for running a 13 year old system. Djeez!

In Denmark we have Zulu sommerbio [http://zulu.dk/zulu-sommerbio] that has been quite popular, but often been not worth attending due to weather. To me the american way, having drive-in movies, is really one piece of culture that was unique.

MS should use webkit or gecko (297 comments)
This is so obvious, if Microsoft could just jump boat with either webkit or gecko, (or other open alternative) instead of developing their own crap.

If you want a virtual environment (264 comments)
If you want a virtual environment, witch in my experience is really easy to administer, you need some sort of SAN or iSCSI environment. Then you have a base for attaching the needed computing power to this storage solution. It will be costly to start up, mostly be course of the rather powerful switches you need to get. Those are easy 10K a piece.
We just set up a brand new virtual environment at my work (university it department serving about 5k people), the trick is really to get the infrastructure in place, network connectivity, and backbone/power redundancy etc. Then we are adding R710 Dell boxes, with 50GB ram(we are upgrading all 5 of them to 128GB next year) and 2x Quad core Xeons, those are cheap, only about 7k a piece. The processing power of those new Nahelem Xeons are awesome! Can definitely recommend.
For a not to expensive SAN i would recommend Dell's Equilogic boxes, they have all the new features, while being robust and built redundant (2 storage controllers, psu's etc), the basic box with 40TB is about 70k.
Since the main concern in my eyes are your aging hardware, you need to migrate one way or the other. Maybe just P2V'ing the old stuff to a vm is not desirable, if you need to update all software. Otherwise it is a easy way to move your old server in a convenient and safe way.
good luck.

Re:Fix your damn drivers! (201 comments)
This is exactly the reason why, we at my Internet cafe, have used nvidia for the last 9 years. I really want to see nice competition to nvidia, just to get new products faster, but....... really they need to make unified driver model like nvidia, and actually strive to make it work on ALL platforms, before they will get more market share.
Right now, it is only the people who just see benchmarks and buy. The rest of us can then enjoy a 100% stable system with nvidia, thanks. Having a 8800GT on third year now, is still a thrill.. and i run all the newest games in 1920x1280. (mostly playing rpg and strategy games though, no fps's)
Re:If that's your Christmas... (112 comments)
No need for sarcasm, I was just happy to see the news, it is the first time i have gotten a hardware upgrade like that for free.
Feels like x-mas (112 comments)
Well, i just got a 160GiB G2 less than a month ago, so this is surely really nice, thanks Intel!
It was already very nice, and it did not take much time to get used to the awesome speed of things, especially when I use vmware workstation with ubuntu to administer my nix boxes from. It starts in 2 seconds, and resume the vm in afew seconds aswell, really great for that!
I hope the update process is not to difficult, and data destructive... maybe i should read TFA?!
The halflife of Half-Life (313 comments)
Seriously, even the former COD World at War, had sucky dedicated support, as they officially only made a windows version, the linux server was community created.., and i never got it to work. I mean, why can they not learn from the most success full games out there (half-life!) that had a half-life on about 10 years be course they made really good linux server support, created a really nice open mod system and generally was some jolly nice lads.
Somehow I have a feeling the pc gaming industry is trying to screw themself over.. with steam leading the way followed closely by Activision.
I have a cyber cafe in denmark, we have been in the pc gaming business since '97, and it is getting worse and worse to make new games work properly. Steam is playing a big part here, as we have a cafe license from them, and are locked in.. well fine, it works okay. But new games coming out on steam like "Dawn of War 2", we can not make work with our cafe steam accounts. No we have to make new accounts etc.. it is just so messed up.. arrrrrrrgggg

Nice but still has issues (554 comments)
If anyone of you have a large collection of music and video's, and use windows 7 with WMP, you will notice how the system still hangs itself outright when it indexes time after time after time.......... i know, maybe i have a good lot of media stuff, but still the OS is not aware of say a MPC i have open watching a movie. So yes, it will start indexing again, and make the movie stutter. The thing that i could track it to, was that wmpnetwork part, was indexing all my stuff to be searchable for my nonexistant networked pc's who allso supposedly would be playing from my pc. So i am now in a lucky position, that MS have made WMP uninstallable, now that its gone, i am really liking the OS okay. But i could imagine they should fix the issue with the system not recognizing a video bieng played by another program, be course it sucks as it is.

Aspiring black-hole spotters will get a rare chance to see some of the most sophisticated gravitational wave detectors at work by logging on to a special 24-hour webcast (from April 3rd).
Around the World in 80 Telescopes includes a live fed feed from the GEO 600, the Hanover-based British-German gravitational wave detector project co-founded by the School of Physics and Astronomy's Gravitational Physics Group.
The live 24-hour webcast (April 3-4) has been organised by the European Southern Observatory, the European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere and is part of the 100 hours of Astronomy celebrations to mark the International Year of Astronomy 2009. The webcast will visit some of the most advanced astronomical observatories around the globe - including the worldwide network of gravitational wave observatories (GEO600, LIGO, TAMA and Virgo) and the Australian prototype gravitational wave detector (AIGO).
Observing the universe with gravitational waves is a new kind of astronomy. With giant laser interferometers, researchers monitor the universe in the unique spectrum of gravitational waves - for the first time, they are "listening" to the universe and will discover unknown and distant regions. By observing gravitational waves – tiny ripples in space-time – researchers will gain unique insights into black holes, neutron stars and the Big Bang.
Web-watchers will be able to find out what's happening at international research observatories. During the webcast on-site researchers at each gravitational wave observatory will explain how they are listening to the universe and introduce the very sophisticated technology that is needed to measure tiny gravitational wave signals: vacuum tubes, high powered lasers, mirror suspensions, absorption free optics, laser stabilization and noise reduction.
The Gravitational Physics Group is one of the largest research groups in the School. The Group is also a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, involved in the space-based LISA and the design study of the 3rd generation Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope.
Stations of the tour through gravitational wave observatories are:
• GEO600 – the British-German project near Hanover, Germany
• Virgo - the Dutch-French-Italian Virgo project near Pisa, Italy
• LIGO - the US project in Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana
• AIGO – the Australian project in Gingin
• TAMA – the Japanese project in Tokyo

If Halloween was scary for you, imagine how several members of the Obama administration felt appearing before an increasingly hostile Congress last week. Though not in costume, they all arrived in Washington wearing their "game faces." First was Department of Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius, charged with implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), who stood before the House Ways and Means Committee to answer questions about what had gone wrong with the HealthCare.gov website. Just down the hall, the heads of various national security agencies had some explaining to do about listening in on German chancellor Angela Merkel's cell phone, as well as on the communication of 23 other heads of state. Though apologies were made all around, for the most part administration representatives held their ground while members of both parties expressed their outrage. Secretary Sebelius insisted that the website would soon be up and running, and national security team members said they were "revisiting" their surveillance policies, but really, everybody does it!
These were the stories that got the most press attention, but developments continued on the budget and appropriations front. The budget committees in the House and Senate appointed conferees to try to work out a budget agreement that will include a final spending plan for FY 2014, and, if possible, modifications to the cuts in spending required by the sequester as part of the Budget Control Act. The Senate sent all 23 members of the committee to negotiate while the House sent seven. Though the first meeting of the conferees—chaired by Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) was cordial, it was also an exercise in lowering expectations. Republicans insisted that taxes are off the table, and Democrats were equally adamant about protecting entitlements. Without addressing these major contributors to the exploding deficit, committee members have little hope of a major bipartisan agreement by the December 15 deadline. The most likely scenario is an omnibus bill for FY 2014 that will fund some but not all federal agencies, leaving agencies like the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Labor funded through a continuing resolution with more cuts to all programs in place.
Best Practices in Accessing the Common CoreOn October 30, the Brookings Institution hosted an event, "Common Core Aligned Assessments: You Get What You Pay For?" to discuss the increase in per student testing costs for states to implement the Common Core assessments. Matt Chingos, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, began the discussion by outlining the differences in cost among assessments from Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), ACT, and other regional consortia, resulting in Common Core aligned tests costing from $20 to $30 per student per test. Conclusions were that the cost of the test is not what matters, but the quality of the test is the true factor that school districts should consider in choosing assessment to implement. Closing remarks outlined four questions that school administrators should ask in deciding what assessment to choose:

Role of Principals in Literacy EducationThe National Center for Literacy Education (NCLE) sponsored a briefing on October 29 focused on the role of principals in ensuring effective literacy and learning for all students. This event specifically highlighted the principal's role in ensuring that teachers, students, and parents understand the importance of improved literacy instruction in the K−12 curriculum and across content areas in order to improve academic achievement and turn around low-performing schools. The Literacy Education for All, Results for the Nation (LEARN) Act, introduced by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.), includes the best practices highlighted by the speakers. The LEARN Act supports comprehensive state and local literacy programs to ensure that children from birth to grade 12 acquire the reading and writing skills necessary for success in school and beyond. Meeting this goal requires high-quality professional development for instructional staff that is job-embedded and collaborative. Moreinfo
State of the States ReportOn October 30, the National Council on Teacher Quality released a new report, State of the States 2013: Connecting the Dots: Using Evaluations of Teacher Effectiveness to Inform Policy and Practice, outlining state teacher evaluation policy as it stands in 2013. Overall, the findings indicate that many states have adopted rigorous teacher evaluation policies—35 states and the District of Columbia Public Schools now require the inclusion of student achievement in measurements of teacher effectiveness. The report pointed out that most states have yet to develop ways of using the newly collected information to inform policy or improve student achievement. Key findings include the information that 27 states require teacher ratings to encompass multiple measures, along with requiring annual teacher evaluations. This is an increase from only 15 states in 2009. Furthermore, only 10 states lack policy requiring teacher ratings to include some form of objective measure of student achievement, compared with state policies in 2009, when only four states required such reporting. Read the full report.
Higher Education InnovationsOn October 31, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee held its second hearing in a series meant to inform and guide the forthcoming reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA). The hearing, "Attaining a Quality Degree: Innovations to Improve Student Success," did not offer much in the way of specifics, but did show the positions of certain Senators on select issues heading into HEA reauthorization. Though the hearing was broad in scope and stayed away from specifics, it included some interesting developments. Perhaps most notably, Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) discussed the efforts of a work group on decreasing the burden of higher education regulations. The members of this group include Senators Alexander, Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), and Michael Bennet (D-Colo.). Panelists first shared brief testimony highlighting ways to ensure that students are successful in entering and completing college but that progress in curtailing the rising costs is evident. In their testimonies, each witness summarized the innovations being implemented, piloted, tested, and evaluated in a variety of urban, state, traditional, and non-traditional settings to help more students successfully enter and complete college. They commented and discussed with members the challenges and opportunities in redesigning curriculum, delivering courses, engaging non-traditional students, partnering with business to understand the needs of the modern workplace, providing competency-based education to adults, and struggling with outdated federal regulation and financial aid concerns. Also of note, the HELP Committee announced a process for HEA reauthorization that would ask interested stakeholders to submit statements in advance of the hearings. The hearings are expected to continue into 2014, with perhaps two more this year. Learn more, including witness testimony and an archived webcast of this hearing and submitting recommendations to the HELP Committee on HEA reauthorization.
Leadership and Technology in SchoolsOn October 31, the American Enterprise Institute hosted a panel discussion, "Breakthrough Leadership in the Digital Age: Using Learning Science to Reboot Schooling," to discuss the ways that school districts are incorporating technology in education. Bror Saxberg, chief learning officer at Kaplan, began the discussion with an analogy that summarized the common misconceptions of implementing technology in the classroom: "Technology is to education as FedEx is to nutrition. Although FedEx makes shipping food quicker and easier, it does not mean that every food product that is shipped through FedEx is good for you. The same goes for technology and education." He noted that technology can be an effective resource for schools, but it must be used well. The panel unanimously agreed that technology in the classroom allows for more one-on-one instruction for students, and it also allows teachers to give more timely and personal feedback to individual students by providing student data reports and methods of instant communication, such as e-mails and discussion boards.

NAEP-TIMSS StudyOn October 24, the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) released a National Assessment of Educational Progress–Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (NAEP-TIMSS) Linking Study. NCES's aim in creating the study was to compare student performance more easily. According to report findings, eighth-grade students in 36 states scored higher than average in math. Massachusetts scored the highest, and Alabama scored the lowest. Forty-seven states scored higher than average in science, with Massachusetts again scoring the highest and Washington, D.C., scoring the lowest. Although Massachusetts led the United States, only 19 percent of the state's eighth graders scored "advanced" in math, compared with about 50 percent of students in Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore. In response to the findings, Jack Buckley, commissioner of NCES said, "It's a good news, bad news scenario: all of our high performing states are being outperformed significantly by these other countries." Read the full report.
STEM Workforce Shortage On October 22, Change the Equation (CTEq) held a news conference to release a report of the findings of the 16th annual Bayer Facts of Science Education Survey, The U.S. STEM Shortage: Myth or Reality? Talent Recruiters at Fortune 1000 Companies Settle the Debate. Mae Jemison, the first African-American female astronaut and "Making Science Make Sense" spokeswoman, convened the conference on a strong note, asserting, "STEM incorporates the entire spectrum of education." She contended that to improve the nation's competitiveness, the education system, graduates, and employers must embrace the many facets of the STEM fields instead of perceiving STEM as one narrow path. She emphasized the need for American society to be more aware of the importance of STEM subjects and provide resources to students that will allow them to enter college STEM-literate. Also, she added, employers need to be cognizant of both two-year and four-year STEM degrees that are relevant to a broad range of occupations. Read the results.
Puerto Rico Joins States with NCLB Flexibility On October 22, the Department of Education announced that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico would join 42 states and the District of Columbia with a waiver from the most onerous provisions of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). "Forty two states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia can't wait any longer for education reform," said Education Secretary Arne Duncan. "A strong, bipartisan reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) remains the best path forward in education reform, but as these states have demonstrated, our kids can't wait any longer for Congress to act." The department introduced the waivers in 2011 in response to Congress' inability to pass a reauthorization of the ESEA, which has been due since 2007. More info

MARGAO: After large crowds assembled at his residence near the Colva police station on Sunday evening, former contestant from Benaulim, John Fernandes, announced his plans of contesting the upcoming elections from Benaulim as an independent candidate.
"Over 500 people had come to my residence this evening and they wanted me to answer a few questions as they were upset with a rumours being spread against me" said Fernandes when contacted by TOI on Sunday.
According to locals present, there were various rumours floating around alleging that John had left it very late to start his campaign was an indication that other politicians were influencing him and that there was no guarantee of him standing as well. Fernandes put to rest their rumours and stated that there were no arrangements whatsoever with any other politician and that would start campaigning from Colva the next day itself.
"I was waiting for the 90 day appeal period to complete regarding my acquittal in the court case and as that period got over on January 24 , I can now go ahead with my plans", explained Fernandes who had just returned from Kolkata.
Fernandes further dismissed rumours that there was an arrangement between PWD minister Churchil Alemao and him to split the vote and alleged that it was Alemao who had threatened to file an appeal against him if he decided to contest the elections.

The silver maple I have in my front yard has a 18-20" diameter trunk and has grown tall enough to interfere with the power lines overhead. I've been kicking around ideas of taking the tops out, the main vertical branches being approximately 6-8" dia. where I would like to cut. How much would this stress the tree? What time of year would be best here in southern Michigan, if indeed this is possible? Thanks, Brian. |
