Wake up, Polly Parrot.
I don't read fiction the same way you do. I don't necessarily read any better than you do, but I almost certainly read different.
For one thing, I read a lot faster than most people. When I was in high school, I took a speed-reading course, and I've been following its principles ever since. I generally hold an index card in one hand and slide it quickly down the page as a pacing device. I don't speak the words silently to myself, don't reread sections, and don't get hung up if I miss the meaning of a word or phrase. I just plow through the text at high speed without interruption. I used to be faster when I was younger, but I generally read about a hundred pages of a typical novel in an hour -- some faster, some slower depending on the difficulty of the material and amount of attention it deserves. I usually finish most books in a few hours.
People who watch me slide my index card down the pages often don't believe I'm really reading that fast, but I am. It's a pretty good way to read light fiction. Even bad books are improved when you're not wasting days on them. Speed-reading can't really be done the same way for heavier reading like textbooks and deeper types of fiction, but I think speeding up for lighter fare still makes me go a bit faster on text that needs more attention.
Yes, I don't read fiction as deeply as some of you. I read mainly for story, and much deeper meaning is often lost on me when I'm reading very fast. Because of that, I can't really say if speed-reading is right for you -- that's a decision you have to make for yourself. It depends on what you want to get out of reading. If you enjoy the way the author puts words together, and look for deep meaning and enlightenment in what you read, speed-reading is probably not right for you. If you read primarily for entertainment, perhaps you could benefit from it. If you want to give it a try, you don't have to pay for one of those expensive classes -- there are many good books on the subject, and they all tell you pretty much the same thing. It's not hard; it just takes practice.
Another way I probably read differently from you is the fact that I read a bit more like an editor since I've begun writing. By that, I mean I don't necessarily finish reading everything I start. If a story or novel doesn't grab me in the first few pages, I usually speed up and skim ahead looking for something interesting to happen in the plot. If the story doesn't pick up, I drop it. Life is too short to waste reading boring stuff. I know there are certain writers who build a story slowly, and I must admit that I usually bail out on such stories. Some writers also put a lot of effort into crafting deeper meanings underneath the superficial plot, but that effort is often wasted on me. It's not them, it's me. That's the trade-off: I miss some things, but I get an awful lot more.
I also read a great number of short stories, which is something you probably don't do. Perhaps a bit more than half of my fiction reading is short work found in magazines and anthologies. Most people overwhelmingly prefer novels to short fiction, but not me. Maybe it's my short attention span, but I like the higher signal-to-noise ratio in short stories. It takes a bit more attention to read the equivalent number of pages of short fiction than a novel, since the settings, characters and ideas are introduced a lot faster, but it's not boring.
I don't recommend that you start reading like I do. As a writer, I hope my readers pay more attention than I do. I miss out and give up on a lot of fiction that others find very rewarding. While I can appreciate the artistry in well-crafted wordsmithing and deeper meanings, it's really the story I'm interested in. That's not necessarily the best way to do it, but it's how I read.

im using this product right now, and have been using it for the past few months. not great but its a solid "good". its a light, mild moisturizer - no frills. the ingredients arent harsh at all. my skin seems to really like this stuff because so far, ive had no bad reactions - only the occasional hormonal breakouts. its really calming for my skin and leaves it radiant after i smooth the moisturizer on.
HOWEVER... its not very moisturizing. my skin feels tight within 30 mins of application. if it wasnt for my oily skin, i would probably have flaky patches from the lack of moisture. i mightve bought this again, but the price ($14-$16) is definitely not worth it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using Aveeno's Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer for a few months now and I definitely see an improvement in my skin's tone and texture. I have acne and oily prone skin, and this product seemed to make my skin smooth and my acne scars less red and visible and my skin feels and stays soft. I use it every night and during the day i apply it before putting on the Aveeno Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30, which is another fabulous product! It doesn't even take long to see the effects of this wonderful product. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants healthier looking skin.
I've become so MUA obsessed that I will literally whip out my phone while in the beauty aisles and look up every single product before I purchase...often being in the same aisle for 30-45 min looking up ratings and reading through all the reviews. When I picked this moisturizer up I decided NOPE I'm not going to look it up before I buy, I'll just try it for myself and hope for the best. (This was also partly an easy impulse purchase as I had my dads Visa with me and thought hmm if I end up hating it, it will be his $15-16 wasted, not mine. lol)
I fell in LOVE after the first use. I've been on a moisturizer hunt since Dove discontinued my HG recently and I do believe I have found the FIRST one since that I will DEFINITELY be repurchasing. It's not AS great as the Dove was but for sure takes the spot for the next best thing.
I did not realize until I was first putting it on that it has SA in it, not sure how I missed it, it's on the front of the bottle and got a little worried I would end up with no real results because I don't really have a need for SA. If i ever get any sort of blemish, it's around the time of my cycle so I can't really vouche for how well it works on acne-prone skin. Despite thinking I would see no real results, I did! My face was 100% spot free before using it but seems to be like ULTRA clear now. Kinda hard to explain but will also mention it seems perfectly hydrated, smooth, glowy and my overall skin tone has evened out. I figure the SA will just help KEEP my skin clear as it's not greasy or sticky what-so-ever. Instantly you'll feel your skin has just been quenched. This may shock some but my FAVORITE thing about this? I LOVEEEEE that it has NO SPF!!!! I think it smells kinda 'natural' and super clean, Consistency is perfect...creamy but liquidy without being too runny or too rich. I've gotta say now that I've been using it for almost 2 weeks and have finally decided to check the rating, I'm a little shocked it's only in the 3 range. I thought I'd find it at a 4 or higher! Needless to say, my hunt is finally over and I couldn't be happier. :) It's TOTALLY worth my OWN $15 next time! lol

I tried two bottles of this thinking it worked. It didn't break me out but it gave me whiteheads and blackheads. Not painful pimples, but dry white stuff that scarred my face. So no, this is not comedogenic.
I have combo skin and this doesn't moisturize me enough so I have drier skin and my skin then produces more oil.
It's pretty expensive for a drugstore product but the bottle doesn't leak nor unhygienic.
Not recommended if you use retin-a
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
After trying (and loving) the Ultra Calming moisturizer, I thought I'd give this one a whirl. I love it just as much as UC. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized but never greasy. I have oily/combo skin and I always shyed away from using moisturizer b/c I thought I didn't need it. This formula is very light and has never broken me out.
I enjoy the fragrance as well...very fresh & clean smelling. I will repurchase!!
I've used this moisturizer for so long, I swear it's probably the reason my skin is clear since both my siblings have acne. It could be the St. Ive's Apricot scrub too...but maybe it's the whole combination that keeps my face pretty clear. I wouldn't say this combats ALL breakouts because I definitely do get those period pimples every now and then. I use this everyday after I shower in the morning and at night when I wash my face. I'm not too sure if it makes my skin oily because oily skin already runs in my family.
I really like this product! I had recently broken out pretty badly and tried many different products to help clear up my skin. After about 2 weeks of using this my skin had cleared up a lot! It evened out my skintone a lot too (I tend to get fairly red cheeks) It was pretty expensive for a dugstore product (about $17) but I use it daily and there's still a lot of product left. I highly recommend this to anyone who is acne prone!
More reviews by melanieeatsghosts
I used this for a month, absoluteeeely loved it. It made my acne (which is like little bumps, to be honest) go away. Unfortunately, despite the 'hypo-allergenic' labeling, the moment I put this stuff on my cheeks they flare up and itch like crazy. I can only use this on my forehead, which sucks considering I really like this.
I have been using this product for a few months (which is impressive, in itself) and I really love this lotion! It's not greasy, smells great, and most importantly, doesn't break me out and has definitey improved the clarity of my skin. I recommend applying the lotion and then immediately applying your foundation. The two blend together and creates a really nice glow.
Highly, highly recommend!!!
Edit: I don't know what happened, but this started breaking me out. So terribly sad :( I have tried Tamanu Oil and it is working miracles on my skin!

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do with a bag of uncooked rice that was slighlty infested by moths this summer? I have an outdoor compost bin and two indoor worm bins. I would prefer not to boil it, as I am not keen on the idea of boiling moth larvae in my kitchen. But will the uncooked rice get processed by the bacteria in a worm bin? Will soaking it in water before introducing it to the worm bin help? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanx! |

I suspect that if you put uncooked rice in a compost bin or a worm bin, it will start to grow into rice seedlings. I know that happens to avocado seeds that I put in the worm bin and also leftover birdseed that I throw away. |
I'd suggest the outdoor compost, and if you don't wanna actually cook it, at least dump it in a pot of boiling water and let it sit awhile to soften up the grains Bill |
- Posted by trancegemini_wa Aust (My Page) on Wed, Jan 10, 07 at 0:54
I wouldnt use it in the worm bin it will take forever to do anything. in the past I have tossed bags of rice in the compost bin and although usually I dont have problems with things getting in there, it became a magnet for cockroaches each time. When I went to turn the compost the rice was just full of them, they werent in any other part of the compost just the area with the rice. I didnt want to cook it up either just to dispose of it, but in future when I have one of these, I'll be digging a hole and burying the rice as deep as I can and keeping it out of the compost bin aswell. TG |
Thanx all, outdoor compost it is. |
- Posted by socks12345 Zone 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 11, 07 at 17:37
Only brown rice could grow, not white. I'd mix it into your bins as is, or you could soak first. |

This weekend at the BUST Craftacular, you can ward off the blue Mondays with Mondays handmade ceramics!
Brooklyn artists Jennifer Flore, Nina Lalli, and Signe Yberg create beautiful handmade ceramics for use and display. Each piece is a work of art, and no two are the same.
Mondays creates bowls, cups, dishes, platters, planters, vases, and more. I'm loving their Green Bubble Plates, Triangle Vases, Confetti Cups, and Small Shell Bowl (all pictured here).
Come see Mondays at the BUST Magazine Craftacular at World Maker Faire on Saturday, September 29 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, September 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can buy tickets for the event here. You can also check out the Mondays website here.

Family Cirucs, 11/19/05
Billy: Adorable towheaded tyke. Lovable, neighborhood-exploring scamp. Big brother. Son. Christian Scientist?
"Nice, quote Oedipus while peeling the eyes from potatoes." --Joe Momma
Family Cirucs, 11/19/05
Billy: Adorable towheaded tyke. Lovable, neighborhood-exploring scamp. Big brother. Son. Christian Scientist?
I'm worried about what happens when those two, gravitationally independent drops converge. Either the universe will implode or The Floating Spitwad will become a permanent resident of the Keane home (or are they the Circuses?).
Either way, we're sure to see some very surreal, post-modern FCs in the near future.
Aren't Billy's knees shaped more like breasts than Ma Keane's breasts?
Well, I've never 'dissed (sp?) "Rose is Rose" before in public. But I guess I now will do so: I'm tired of seeing that little pinhead "Mimi" (or whatever the hell she's named) and her "babytalk". Bah!
What is the deal with the speech bubble being answered by a caption? This defies my sense of comic logic.
Billy looks ready to backhand his mom.
Just to clarify: Christian Scientists don't believe that medicine is evil or bad or anything negative – their religion basically says that everybody else can get their healing through doctors medicine, but they're going to try to do it like Jesus and his followers did it.
Maybe he's a Scientologist! Possibly he's actually Tom Cruise and Katie Kaptured – uh – Holmes' kid. "No, 'Mom', I refuse to take that stuff 'cause L. Ron Hubbard told us not to. You don't know all about cold medication. I do…" Yikes!
Can someone PLEASE tell me how it is these kids only come up to their parents' knees? And why do he characters who wear glasses have no eyeballs? Shouldn't they have a white cane and a dog too?
What's with the Platitude-Spewing Granny? Why hasn't someone smacked her yet? Is there anything more schlocky and maudlin than the Grampa "living" on top of a cloud… wearing a robe and a Jethro Bodine-style rope belt? Where does he go on a cloudless day?
Do you think Bil/Jeff Keane and Johnny "BC" Hart prank call each other late at night to taunt the other about who is more Jesus-y on a given day?
You know that the oral suspension form of Ritalin IS really foul tasting..and who came up with the idea to give hyperactive kids amphetamines anyway?? And Billy, Dennis the Menace called, he wants his hair back..I did have one of my farts described as "evil" one time.or was it rude. I'm so sure these Christian Scientists do it like Jesus did, walk everywhere with flip flops on, no TV, radio, etc.
Here's my tribute to the Dysfunctional Family Circus: Mommy, thought Billy, why didn't you give me that 100-proof gin that you promised me when we were alone together last night?
Maybe this is the sequel to when Thel-Mom threatened to "put Billy in his place."
Gimme that ol' time Christian Discipline!
Medicine??? Tastes like estrogen.
Why does this keep getting published.This comic is vomitous.Please make it go away.
To forbusbonejar: Your comment about the Family Circus might be why the family's dog might be named "Barfy" . . .
Ma Keane, opiate pusher.
Nice little hair out of the back of your head, Billy!
change the last word in the strip, from "EVIL",
to "ASS",
it's funnier.

Saturday Mornings…Smores…And Why We Do It
Dear Friend,
Do you remember when you were ten or twelve years old? What were you up to at 7:30am on a Saturday morning? Many of us, myself included, were often asleep or up watching cartoons. The photo you see tells the story of young people with a drive, curiosity, and work ethic we had the pleasure of nurturing over the course of eighteen weeks during Aya Community Markets, the farmers market that we founded.
Every Saturday morning these three young boys, along several other boys and girls, arrived to help open and close the market. They learned the value of work and developed strong character while setting up tents, carrying boxes, and raking leaves. They expanded their worldview while learning about and trying new foods. They kept food diaries, read books and watched films about healthy food, and were introduced to the concept of social business.
We were able to provide this safe space, learning environment and source of pride thanks to the support of people like you. In 2013, we will begin to grow food in a garden plot where we can engage more DC youth. We will also be opening a second market location in an underserved community in Ward 7, serving more than 3,000 people who do not have equal access to healthy food choices. Among them are youth just like these. At Dreaming Out Loud, we cannot deepen our impact without you! So we ask for your generous donation to help us build healthy communities and a brighter future for DC youth. Are you with us?
Christopher Bradshaw, Executive Director

A growing sense of anticipation had descended upon the nation's capital by the time ABC News' Robin Roberts arrived at the White House on Wednesday afternoon for her hastily arranged exclusive interview with President Barack Obama. Speculation had grown throughout the day that he was about to publicly endorse marriage for same-sex couples for the first time. And then it happened.
"I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that 'don't ask don't tell' is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," said Obama.
This personal declaration capped off a sometimes awkward evolution on marriage for same-sex couples that threatened to alienate some of the president's most enthusiastic supporters who had grown increasingly impatient with his failure to publicly back the issue. Vice President Joe Biden's endorsement of nuptials for gays and lesbians during a pre-taped interview that aired on "Meet the Press" on Sunday and the passage of a constitutional amendment that defined marriage as between a man and a woman in North Carolina only exacerbated this growing angst.
What led the country to this landmark moment?
A Gallup poll on Tuesday—the same day that North Carolina voters approved Amendment One—found that 50 percent of Americans support nuptials for same-sex couples. An Arcus Foundation-funded report that the National Council of La Raza and Social Science Research Solutions released last month noted that 54 percent of Latinos now back marriage for gays and lesbians. While Obama's position is consistent with the majority of Americans, nearly half of the country remains opposed to nuptials for same-sex couples.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney attempted to tap into this opposition at an Oklahoma campaign event hours after the president's announcement. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) made a similar statement against marriage for gays and lesbians during a Fox Business interview.
Does this entrenched opposition to nuptials for same-sex couples even matter anymore?
Boehner himself appeared to answer this question with his assertion that congressional Republicans remain focused on the economy.
"The American people are still asking the question, 'Where are the jobs?' he said during the Fox Business interview. "Our focus is going to continue to be on the economy like it has been for the last year and a half."
Only 19 percent of those who participated in the Conservative Political Action Conference's annual straw poll in February listed "traditional values" as the most important issue in this election cycle. Only one percent of participants who voted in the 2011 CPAC straw poll said stopping marriage for gays and lesbians was their top priority.
Politics ultimately determines the content of any president's public statements, and Obama's endorsement of marriage for gays and lesbians is certainly no different. This watershed moment was much more than a cynical political calculation. It was a decisive affirmation that the president truly believes that LGBT Americans deserve full equality.
And for that, we should be grateful.

Feb 20, 2010 8:49 PM by Courtney Meznarich
Some young Central Coast athletes got a chance to learn from the best Saturday afternoon.
Two-time Olympian and Arroyo Grande high school alum Stephanie Brown Trafton hosted a throwing clinic, named after her of course.
Students had a chance to try drills with the Olympian and practice their techniques.
Trafton says there is really nothing to it.
"If I could do it anybody can, you know there's some girls out here that have got some really good potential, some guys with awesome potential, so if they just keep working at it and just have a dream and have a belief that they can be successful, they're going to make it far," Trafton said.
The event lasted all afternoon and Trafton says she plans on doing it again next year.

This instant dosa batter is packed with protein and fibre. Oats must be consumed daily for its high content of soluble fibre 'beta-glucan', a potent blood sugar and cholesterol-lowering agent.

A dosa with a difference which does not require any soaking and fermenting. Good for breakfast and snack both.
Quick instant dosa! I did not have urad flour so i added Besan in its place. I also added paneer, extra chilli and garam masala to the filling/stuffing. Its a pretty blend dosa so you will definitely need spicy stuffing to eat with it.

If you have had kitchen cabinet doors and drawers professionally spray painted, how durable was the paint job? How much did it cost (ballpark)? Thanks! |

For a professional job, which is all about the PREP, and very little about the spraying, 4-6K would be a good ballpark for an average sized kitchen. When prepared properly, and with a good quality latex enamel paint that is allowed to cure, it is just as durable as any other well painted surface. |
- Posted by wi-sailorgirl (My Page) on Tue, Feb 5, 13 at 18:09
Granted we have a smaller kitchen and we're getting new cabinets painted (so less prep work than old), but we're paying $1,500. Can't speak to durability because I don't have them yet but they better be! |
- Posted by babushka_cat (My Page) on Tue, Feb 5, 13 at 18:19
I paid $3200 for cabinets and doors to be primed and painted (new wood cabinets). My kitchen is small (11x13) with cabinets only on 2 walls. The finish is good but not as good as a commercial cabinet. But on the other hand I have the paint and have been able to touch up as needed and was even able to add a light rail after the fact with no one knowing the difference. Make sure you do your research carefully on who paints them. My cabinet maker subcontracted out the doors and they royally screwed up, requiring entire door replacements and caused a good delay to the project. Be very careful with who you hire - ask lots of questions. A screw up can be very costly. |
I'm in the SF Bay Area. My little G-shaped kitchen is about 100 sq.ft. Had the old boxes spray painted on site and the new doors and drawer fronts painted in their shop. I think the paint was pre-cat lacquer (smelly stuff). The paint job was approx. $4300, and they threw in new shelves for my old cabs. One year later, the paint looks brand new. There's just me in the house, so factor that into it. Initially I was very worried about scratches and dings, but it's tougher than it looks. |
We've had ours for 3 years now, paint job still looks brand new. I can't remember how the cost broke down as it was a major kitchen job. |
Thanks everyone. Very helpful! |

Location, location, location has great bearing on cost. I am in Illinois and the cost to stain and/or paint (catalyzed) ranges from $1500 to $5000. Lots of difference between Chicago area pricing and downstate. We have a large kitchen and the cost was approximately $1800 from a Mennonite cabinetmaker. |
I had the pantry painted to match my new cabinets and so far I wished I shelled out more money for new pantry. The pantry was sanded, followed by two coats of primers, and finally two coats of latex enamel paint. I don't know how it is normally done, but the paint finish is not comparable to the catalyzed varnish from factory. It feels more rough, harder to clean, and doesn't seem as durable. |
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Wed, Feb 6, 13 at 7:47
I repost this periodically when someone asks about painting their cabinets. Lilymila, if your pantry feels rough, then not enough sanding occurred. Here is how I would expect a pro to spray paint kitchen cabinets. A brush painted job would differ slightly in that you wouldn't hang the doors to paint. You'd place them on a work table or easel instead. It's time intensive work, and should take 7-14 days to accomplish completely and cost between 3K-7K depending on kitchen size and amount of detail in cabinets. Remove doors and drawer fronts. Add more molding or decorative details to boxes, filling nail holes and sanding smooth. Repeat prep process with face frames and exposed cabinet sides using plastic to create a spray booth on site. If interiors are to be done, they are done before face frames and sides. Interiors are difficult, and add both time and expense to the job. Allow everything to fully cure. If you are receiving a job without this amount of effort, then you are not receiving a quality professional job. |
I don't know if rough is the right term to describe it. It just didn't have that almost lacquered feel of my new cabinets. I don't remember what kind of primer they used, but the paint was SW pro classic mixed to match the color of the new cabinets. |
Thanks for the feedback everyone! |

Windows 7 early adoption rate outpaces Vista's
Windows 7 early adoption rate outpaces Vista's
New OS hits 4% market share; XP loses ground, says Net Applications By Gregg Keizer November 10, 2009 01:09 PM ET Computerworld - Windows 7 has broken the 4% market share barrier in less than three weeks, a mark that took Windows Vista five months to reach, a Web metrics company said today. According to Net Applications, Windows 7 has crossed the 4% line in the California company's daily tracking of operating system usage. By comparison, Vista was under 1% a month after its late-January 2007 release to retail, and didn't exceed 4% until June of that year. "Windows 7's rate of adoption is really impressive," said Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president of Net Applications. With two-thirds of November to go, Windows 7 has already posted a daily market share average of 3.6%, close to the 3.8% that Vista reached at the end of May 2007. Since its Oct. 22 release, Windows 7's daily average has been approximately 3.2%. Windows 7's share has been steadily increasing since its debut. The first week after its launch, the new operating system accounted for 2.7% of all operating systems used worldwide; the second week it climbed to 3.3%. |

Chronic malnutrition in children
Globally, malnutrition among under-five children is less common in urban areas, compared with rural areas. Yet, these urban averages mask substantial differences within cities. The prevalence of stunting among the poorest urban children is three times greater than among the richest urban children. The children in poor households are not the only ones prone to malnutrition; in general, the middle classes also suffer more childhood stunting than the richest families. The risk of chronic malnutrition increases progressively as family income declines.
There has been limited progress in reducing chronic childhood malnutrition – stunting – especially in Asia and Africa in urban areas between 1990s and 2000-2007. In fact in Africa on average there has been an increase in stunting among the poorest 20% urban populations from 35% to 37%. In Asia, stunting remains high, on average, at 36% for the poorest 20% urban children.

Apoptosis: Dance of Death
The full version of this clip is in the
Cell Biology Collection. ($)
Human neutrophils are constantly produced in the marrow and released into the blood to search for invading pathogens. After only one day, they "commit suicide" and are replaced by younger cells. Beginning with the typical neutrophil shape, the apoptotic neutrophil in the clip above undergoes a series of changes including violent membrane blebbing, called zeiosis, (animation to the right) and fragmentation of DNA creating a vacuolar nucleus. Apoptotic cells shrink in size, break into smaller pieces called apoptotic bodies that other body cells recognize and eat.
Got a paper due on apoptosis? For the current science on this subject, two good sources are John W. Kimball's Apoptosis Page and the International Cell Death Society.
Some Keywords:
programmed cell death, zeiosis, apoptotic body, apoptosis + embryology, neutrophil stem cell, necrosis

Hockey powerplays tend to be fairly unoriginal. You have your overload, your umbrella, your box-plus-one and a few others, but rarely does a team try anything new.
Well, 1st-year head coach Andy Murray has the Western Michigan University Broncos bucking that trend (booo, bad pun).
Behold: the double one-timer.
That's Dennis Brown letting the puck go through his legs, and Matt Tennyson bombing home the one-timer (and Shane Berschbach with the primary assist, I believe). Wow.
Murray has the Broncos up to 8th in the nation at 12-7-5 in a difficult conference. Looks like a little originality is taking them a long way.
Stick-tap to Twitter friend @JustinLibano, who adeptly pointed out that it kinda looks like a volleyball formation.

As the runners approach Lone Pine at mile 122, the view to Mt. Whitney is on the horizon and the temperatures begin to cool. Just outside of Lone Pine are the Alabama Hills. They remind you of the Khyber Pass in India. And Texas and Arizona and Utah and Nevada. Even Old Mexico and Peru and Argentina. That's because they've played all those parts and more during their 80-year Hollywood career. Hopalong Cassidy rode these hills. And Tom Mix and John Wayne and Cary Grant and Errol Flynn. And it's not just the old westerns. Why, Brad Pitt came here to film Kalifornia, Kevin Bacon for Tremors, Mel Gibson for Maverick, Demi Moore for G.I. Jane, and William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
Why would all these stars leave Hollywood and travel all the way to Lone Pine? Because of the enchanting Alabama Hills. These mysterious granite boulders are framed by the magnificent vista of Mt. Whitney. Geologists tell us that the granite was shaped by chemical weathering over the millennia. It used to be a lot wetter back then and water percolated down cracks and separated the bedrock into blocks, perfect for move ambushes and gunfights.
The remains are still present of the suspension bridge from Gunga Din. In this 1939 classic, Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, and Douglas Firbanks, Jr. gave rousing performances as three British military men who caroused, fought, and loved their way through 19th-century India.
Remnants also remain from the famous Rawhide burial site where, in 1951, Tyrone Power and Susan Haywood buried Edgar Buchanan in an action-packed Western where villains take over a stagecoach depot and hold everyone hostage.

The Lawbringer: Fighting the gold fight -- the world as it is {WoW}
Mar 12th 2011 7:39AM Could even be as simple as iLvl x 10 = Max Value. iLvl 359 = 3590g. This would allow for Blizzard to essentially control the "inflation maximization" There would still be market competition due to people trying to unload their goods faster. This could mean that even the laziest of players can afford their "Starter Gear" at 85. Allowing them to begin progression if they so wish.
Eventually, people will stop selling old world mats on the AH and would farm what they needed for leveling, and make some spare coin dumping the mats they never needed to finish leveling their professions.
I believe this would make Person to Person socialization more common and people would help Guildies out without that nagging voice ((But that's 1500g I could have by selling it))
Your accumulating gold stock[pile could then be redirected into the virtual ether into Buff that help you out WHILE PLAYING for a period of time. i.e. 1000g for a 2hr "CostBuff" that increases total exp gained by 100% or 500g for 10,000 Guild Experience. This would get players to their endgame goal more quickly.
I could go so much deeper into my ideas, ideas that few would read, but alas I am tired.
or Hell possibly create a Subscribtion Based Currency Allowence for Cosmetic things that people seem to be paying most gold for. Like 100 Blizzard Ice Cubes that can buy pets, mounts, even Training of Epic Flying/Master. But make them Account Bound. Both the BIC and the Vanity items.

Have you ever been on a rafting trip, looked at the raft guides and thought, "Wow, this would be an awesome job"?
Well, not only did that happen to me, my wife got hooked, too!
Hi everyone, my name is David Barkley and my wife, Cheri, and I are among the newest members to the ACE blogging team. We discovered ACE and whitewater rafting via the ACE website.
Here's a brief synopsis:
For several years, we had talked about going whitewater rafting.
Growing up near the ocean, we came to love being in the water, doing things one does in the ocean, but all the rivers nearby in southeastern North Carolina were just wide slow moving bodies of water with hardly any waves at all. They were not very interesting to navigate on except for their natural beauty and wildlife.
We kept putting off a whitewater rafting trip for one reason or another until that fateful day a few years ago. We were up in West Virginia visiting some relatives (my wife is related to both the Hatfields and the McCoys – more on this in a later blog), were surfing the internet for things to do in West Virginia, and I saw whitewater rafting on the ACE Adventure Resort website.
We had just gone on an ATV ride up near Matewan, West Virginia, and our adrenaline and excitement level was way up. The route back home to NC took us very near ACE and we swung by to see if a trip was available and what we could expect.
The people there were refreshingly friendly, helpful, and we booked a trip for the very next day. They didn't give us the typical "OK, another tourist here" reaction in comparison to people we have seen working at other vacation destinations.
The next morning the trip check-in was informative, we met our guide, had an exciting bus ride, learned how to paddle a raft and, well, down the river we went.
Whoosh, what an adrenaline spike, including raft surfing the big wave holes! Yes, that day we both also became members of "the New River Swim Team."
We got back to ACE at the end of the day, went straight to the office, and booked a trip for the next day. We went on to take a total of 13 trips that year, go through guide training the next season, and now work for ACE on the same rivers we came to love as guests.
I look forward to exchanging adventures, ideas, and thoughts with each of you. I was wondering, how did you come to find out about ACE? What was your first experience like?

8:30 AM -- 9:00 AM Legislating Accounting Standards
With the GASB's new standards, state and local governments will have to report long term pension-related liabilities more prominently on their balance sheets. State and local governments must comply with the new GASB standards if they prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in order to receive clean, or unqualified, opinions from auditors on their financial statements. Learn from a CPA legislator how the changes promote accurate and more transparent reporting of governmental obligations and how they allow both the public and policymakers to better understand states' true fiscal health.
9:00 AM -- 10:00 AM Communicating the New World of Public Pension Data
GASB's new pension accounting standards will significantly alter governmental pension obligation calculations and credit ratings agencies have adjusted state and local government pension cost analytical data for bond ratings. The different factors and methods being used promise to be confusing. At this session, discuss how to communicate and explain these numbers for other lawmakers, constituents and the media.
10:00 AM -- 11:00 AM Funding Guideline Efforts
The Task Force will be given information on pension guidelines, including actuarial valuations, developed by other associations to help states and localities ensure sustainable, long-term funding for their pension benefits.

Feasibility Study of the Effects of Water Quality on Soil Properties in the Red River Valley
McCully, W. G.; Bordovsky, D. J.; Runkles, J. R.; Hipp, B. W.; Gerard, C. J.
The suitability of water for irrigation depends upon many factors, of primary concern is the quantity and quality of salts present in the water Ayers and Wescot1. If total dissolved solids in the irrigation water are too high, salts accumulate in the crop root zone to the extent that yields are reduced. Excessive soil salinity means the crops have difficulty extracting water from the soil solution. The other problems with respect to salinity are concerned with the effects of water quality on permeability of soil to water. The effects of specific ions such as Na or lack of salts in the water can reduce permeability to the extent that crops are not adequately supplied with water and yields are reduced. As pointed out by Rhoades and Ingvalson > and Frenkel, Goertzen and Rhoades2 one of the major factors affecting the suitability of water for irrigation is its sodicity hazard usually expressed as SAR. According to these investigators, our greatest limitation in assessing the sodium hazard is our inability to predict how the water will affect soil structure and permeability. This may be because soil structural stability or instability is a function of many factors. The effect of Na on soil structure can be modified by other soil properties such as texture, organic matter, etc. In Texas, Naghshineh-Pour, Kunze and Carson (6) stated that sodium absorption ratio (SAR), exchangeable Na percentage (ESP), electrolyte concentration, clay content, free iron oxides and clay mineral species are important factors involved in permeability of selected soils. Saffaf (9) noted the decrease of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity with decreasing electrolyte concentrations and increasing the SAR (sodium absorption ratio) of the soil solution was especially pronounced for swelling clay soils. Water in the Red River Basin is often high in salinity and in sodium concentrations (high SAR). Studies evaluated the influences of present and "predicted after reclamation" dissolved solids (TDS) and SAR on permeability of different soils in the Red River Basin. These studies should give some insight as to the effect of present levels of SAR on soil structure and permeability. It was also the purpose of this investigation to evaluate the effects of reduced SAR and total dissolved solids(TDS) on soil permeability. The permeability to rainfall (low TDS) of soils leached with different levels of SAR and salinity was simulated and determined in the laboratory. 1 Contributions of Texas AGM Research and Extension Center at Chillicothe-Vernon, Dallas, Munday and Texas A&M Water Resources Institute; College Station and supported in part by the Tulsa District, U.S. Corps of Engineers. 2 Professor, Chillicothe-Vernon; Associate Professor, Dallas; Director, Water Resources Institute, College Station; Research Engineer, Munday; and formerly Professor, Chillicothe-Vernon.

The contributor, who asks to remain anonymous, describes it as "An easy, addictive game for people of ALL ages. This is an original game that I invented. Give it a try - all my friends are hooked."
Sound a bit complicated? Don't worry - it's not. Just get together a friend or two and play. The key is: you obtain desirable cards by trading with the G.S. Once you understand that concept, you'll be a Smokestack fiend in no time!
Note: Playing for a set of four matching suits is the easiest possible way to play. To make it more challenging and fun, it is preferable to call a "Smokestack" a set of four cards of the same value (rank).

Refinance | ||||||
Champaign, Feb 23, 2012
-- @@Contact: Joan Messina (217) 403-6248 Cell: (217) 622-3699 USDA Pilot Program Available to Help Illinois Home Loan Borrowers Refinance CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Feb. 23, 2012—USDA Rural Development is launching a pilot program that can help Illinois homeowners with existing home loans with the agency refinance their mortgages to reduce their monthly payments. The Single Family Housing Guaranteed Rural Refinance Pilot Program will operate in Illinois and 18 other states. These states are among the hardest hit by the downturn in the housing market. "This program can help as many as 15,000 homeowners in Illinois," Rural Development State Director Colleen Callahan said. "Homeowners who have Rural Development direct or guaranteed loans can now refinance their loans at a better rate," she said. "We can help them save money on their mortgage payments at a time when they may need it most." The pilot program makes it easier for eligible homeowners to refinance their loans. They do not have to provide a new credit reports, property inspections or home appraisals. Some stipulations apply. To be eligible under this pilot, borrowers must have made their mortgage payments on time for 12 consecutive months prior to their loan application. Interest rates must be at least one percent below the borrowers' current interest rate for a new 30 year loan term. Borrowers cannot get cash back from the transaction or include repair costs in the refinancing. The pilot program is USDA's most recent effort to help rural homeowners. In the last several years, the agency has modified its policy for guaranteed loans to help homeowners who are delinquent on their mortgages. It also has instituted a way to provide guaranteed lenders up to 12 months of mortgage payments on behalf of borrowers who have fallen behind on their payments due to job loss or other hardships. After two years, the performance of the pilot program will be reviewed to evaluate whether to continue it, terminate it or make it permanent. In addition to Illinois, the other states involved in the pilot are Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Tennessee. Interested borrowers can contact Rural Development at 217-403-6216 or a mortgage lender of their choice to apply for the Rural Refinance Pilot. -more- Rural Development has more than 40 programs that foster growth and economic stability in rural areas by providing affordable financing and technical assistance. Support is available for regional food systems, broadband and biofuel infrastructure, housing, business development and community needs.

Man Utd's Financial Statements 2009/10 show £79.6 million pre-tax loss
Today it was announced that Manchester United has reported a pre-tax loss of £79.6 million for the year ending 30th June 2010. This means a drop of £127.6 million from last year's profit figure, which stook at a profit of £48 million. Manchester United have entered the red zone after finance charges increased to £67 million and interest payments amounted to £40 million, combined with a reduction in revenue from the sale of players.
Last season, as already mentioned, Manchester United reported a £48 million profit. However, it is good to remember that in the last financial year, Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Real Madrid for £80 million. Had this not been the case, United would have registered a £32 million loss. Despite this fact, Man Utd's Chief Executive David Gill states that the club is under no pressure to sell players, making reference to Wayne Rooney. He said, "We have money in the bank so there is zero pressure on that, no pressure at all to sell any star player whether it is Wayne Rooney or X, Y or Z. I can categorically say that."
The annual turnover of the club stood at £286.4 million, whereas matchday revenue dropped from the previous financial year (£108.8 million) to £100.2 million. The latter was attributed to the club not progressing as the previous year in the UEFA Champions League. Media turnover increased from the previous year to £104.8 million thanks to higher TV payments from UEFA, and commercial turnover increased to £81.4 million due to more sponsorship revenue. Interest charges were unchanged from 2008/09, and were £40 million, but the item which put the books of the club in the negative zone was the January bond issue of £504 million to pay back most of its bank debt. David Gill assured the fans of the club that, "We have a long-term financing structure in place, excellent revenues that are growing, we are controlling our costs – total wages are 46% of turnover – and we can afford the interest on our long-term finance."

Medina is a village in the towns of Shelby and Ridgeway in Orleans County, New York, United States. The population was 6,415 at the 2000 census, making it the second most populous municipality in the county after Albion, the county seat. The village was named by its surveyor. It is part of the Rochester Metropolitan Statistical Area. It developed from a stopover on the Erie Canal, which bends as it passes through the village, creating a basin that served as a stopover point. Mills on Oak Orchard Creek provided water power, and the fertile lands around it gave it fruit to export via the canal. At the turn of the 20th century the village was a thriving industrial town. A branch campus of Genesee Community College is located in Medina. [more on Wikipedia]
