In this collection of thirty-eight chiseled short stories, George Thomas Clark introduces readers to actors, alcoholics, addicts, writers famous and unknown, a general, a lovelorn farmer, a family besieged by cancer, extraterrestrials threatening the world, a couple time traveling back to a critical battle, a deranged husband chasing his wife, and many more memorable people and events.
Hitler Here is a well researched and lyrically written biographical novel offering first-person stories by the Fuehrer and a variety of other characters. This intimate approach invites the reader to peer into Hitler's mind, talk to Eva Braun, joust with Goering, Goebbels, and Himmler, debate with the generals, fight on land and at sea and in the air, and huddle in the death camps as, everywhere, civilization is consumed.
Joseph McCarthy says he's a tough and dedicated guy in the boxing ring and U.S. Senate. Richard Nixon denies he's an awkward, resentful, and paranoid president. Fidel Castro asserts he's an appealing and inevitable historical character while embracing megalomania. And all three frigid warriors tell their stories as they fight again.

Reports of bed bug infestations in U.S. cities' hotels have sparked an increased interest in the insect. These parasitic bugs have been around for thousands of years, but until about the mid-1990's they had not created much of a stir in our nation.
Bed bugs (cimicidae) are flat, reddish brown, non-flying insects, the mature adult growing up to about a quarter of an inch in length. They are sometimes mistaken for a tick or small cockroach. They feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals, particularly birds, bats and humans; therefore, they are found in and around homes and other places of lodging or residence. Bed bug infestations are seen more commonly in situations of poor sanitation and overcrowding. However, they can thrive even in clean environments.
They can live in any area of a residence. But since they must bite to feed, they are generally more concentrated where people sleep; hence, their name. They can be found in mattresses, box springs and bed frames and around the bedroom in dressers, cracks in furniture, curtains, edge of carpets and upholstery/textiles near the bed.
During World War II, with the introduction of DDT, there was a general decrease in bed bug problem in the U.S. Major infestations were fairly rare until the ban of these pesticides in 1972. However, they still remained a persistent nuisance in other countries.
Other explanations for the recent boost in bed bug activity are the development of resistance to the effects of oft-used pesticides and increases in international travel and immigration in the late 20th century. The insects can get into travel bags and luggage or on clothing and be transported with travelers.
They can survive for several months without feeding so they can be found in vacant homes. They can also be transported from one house to another during a move through boxes, clothing or furniture.
Bed bugs are more active at night. They can bite the exposed skin of a sleeping individual without being noticed. The bite may be overlooked or be passed off as a mosquito or other insect bite. The symptoms are similar – a small red bump, swelling and itching. Often one will see a line of small bites on the skin where the insect has had sequential feedings.
Bed bug bites are treated like other insect bites. Oral antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine, are generally helpful for itching. Steroid creams can be used topically for the itch. Always check with your doctor before taking any over the counter medications if you are on prescription medicines or have other chronic medical conditions.
If you think your home may have bed bugs, you can look for clues around the bedroom such as shed skins, egg casings and fecal materials or stains in the bed linens. Check mattresses, box springs, bed frames, nearby furniture, carpets and cracks and crevasses in walls. You may need professional assistance if you are not able to identify the bed bugs or if bugs are found and extermination is needed.
When traveling, keep your travel bags and luggage off the floor. Performing a quick examination of the room, beds and furniture may allow you to sleep tight without bed bug bites.

Is desktop Linux a good place to start with open source?
We suggest that organizations start with a bounded project that only IT employees are involved in creating, which can be browser-accessible. That way, the most technically astute employees are involved at first in learning about open source. Once a good knowledgebase is built in IT, more ambitious projects can be implemented. An internal portal project is an excellent candidate for a first project.

"We loved this. A wonderful pungency from the oranges gave this a great flavor. The beef turned out nice and crispy and the sauce was delicious. I think I used an orange too small for the recipe and we felt it could use more of the orange strips. This however, did not detract from the recipes appeal. Thank you!"

Why so Serious? Part 2 – Everything's Going to be Alright!
So, after last week's announcement that Rayman Legends was no longer a Wii U exclusive, and yesterday's report that the Wii U had a drastic drop in units being sold during the month of January, it's understandable to feel wary the Wii U's future. Various news sites already seem to have written off the Wii U as an also-ran, arriving late to the HD party while the big kids are getting ready to hit the "after hours" scene. Some of the more audacious sites have even likened the Wii U to a post modern Dreamcast!
I'm going to go against the grain and assure everybody that Nintendo is going to be alright; the Wii U is going to be just fine as well. History repeats itself often, even in the gaming industry. You can easily change 2013 to 1996, replace the Wii U with the N64 and find an eerily similar situation.
In 1996, Nintendo, having dominated the market during the NES generation and coming off a hard gaming cycle pitting the SNES against Sega's Genesis, released the Nintendo 64 to the masses. The promised launch lineup promised games to satisfy even the most discriminating gamer. First party launch titles included Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64 in addition to a few third party offerings, most notably Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, and that was it for a while. Then third party support for the system dried up quickly, surprising no one. In this instance, it was directly attributed to Nintendo's decision to forgo the increasingly popular and cheaper CD-ROM media to go with proprietary carts. Indirectly, Sony's Playstation, launched a year prior to the N64, proved to be extremely popular. This led to many developers dropping Nintendo and their heavy licensing fees to publish their games on Sony's machine instead.
Publisher after publisher skipped the N64 altogether and Nintendo lost the support of long time developers who had previously only published for Nintendo. Publishing houses like Square, Enix, and Konami showed little to no software support during this, and the subsequent GameCube era. I will not delve into much detail regarding why developers soured on Nintendo during this period, that history is extremely well documented throughout the internet, however, I will comment on how Nintendo reacted to the adversity it faced during this time because it provides clues as to how Nintendo will deal with the challenges the Wii U is now facing.
The N64 era is arguably remembered for the plethora of quality first and second party releases that graced the system. Games like The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye 007, and Banjo-Kazooie are remembered as some of the greatest games of the 90s, if not, of all time. The common thread amongst them is that they were all made directly by Nintendo, or one of its subsidiaries. For the most part, Nintendo is known for making great games, seldom releasing a subpar game, but the games it produced for the N64 had an extra level of polish in my opinion. Does this really surprise anyone? Think about it, Nintendo lost the support of companies that provided some of the biggest hits of the NES and SNES eras, you have to fill the void somehow, and Nintendo did so admirably. Nintendo did what it had to do to survive. In doing so, Nintendo ensured that it had enough in-house content to satisfy those loyal fans who did not jump ship, and those newcomers who picked up an N64 and did not return it.
I see the same thing happening now with the Wii U, a lackluster launch, followed by a dramatic drop in sales and publishers "re-evaluating" their support for Nintendo's home console. And how does Nintendo react? The same way it did during the N64 era: by showcasing what it has planned for the future! The two most recent Nintendo Directs – which seemed to be direct rebuttals to the negativity and vitriol found on the internet towards the Wii U – showcased games from Nintendo and those developers who still have games coming for the Wii U. This was a tactical move on Nintendo's part, wave after wave of negative Wii U news was in danger of permanently branding the Wii U as a failure. Both Nintendo Directs addressed many of the pressing Wii U matters relating to OS performance, game releases, and support from third party publishers to give fans some tangible hope after the deluge of negativity.
The reality is that the Wii U is still facing several challenges, third party support is still weak and sales are at a critical point, but there is hope now. In my completely biased opinion, I think Nintendo will be just fine. I may be loyal, but I'm not naive to the fact that I will miss out on a lot of great third party content that will grace the other home systems, but I'm OK with that. Yes, the loss of Rayman exclusivity was a setback for the Wii U, but not an insurmountable one. A bigger blow would have been if Ubisoft cancelled the Wii U version completely. Think about that for a minute. I've experienced these third party droughts before and look forward to the efforts from Nintendo and its second parties that will help fill the void. As Nintendo fans, we've been here before and know what to expect. Everything's going to be alright!

Drop that:
Ceremonial faceoffs are usually a thing I don't pay a lot of attention to. This one was actually kind of cool. I don't know if it was the jerseys or Cyclone Taylor's grandson (best name) but I enjoyed it.
This isn't HNIC but it needs to be seen. This is just further proof that Patrick Kane is operating on another level this year. This isn't even fair.
Take your time:
Alex Burrows was apparently as excited about the new/old Vancouver jerseys as I am.
Preview: As the east coast recovers from the insanity that was the Leafs/Jets game, we turn out attention westward as the Canucks Millionaires take on the Detroit Red Wings. The Canucks are sitting in 3rd place in the Western Conference with 32 points and are currently on a 2 game win streak. They'll look to continue the streak against a Red Wings team that is (somehow) still in playoff contention despite a more than questionable defensive corps. The Red Wings are only one point back of the Canucks, however, with 31 points yet the Canucks hold the standings advantage thanks to their division. The Wings haven't had a busy week, playing just two games since last Sunday – a loss to the Flames and an OT, comeback win over the Oilers last night.

These are always a highlight of Saturdays. This week is no different.
Hello, old friend:
Joffrey Lupul didn't take long to show Leafs fans why their team could have used him for the last month and a bit.
Hi. Welcome to Saturday.
Leafs vs. Jets
An all-Canadian match-up gets us started on Hockey Night In Canada tonight, which makes sense, and features two teams heading in opposite directions. In this corner, you have the losers of four straight Toronto Maple Leafs (though they got a point against the Penguins last Saturday) and in the other corner, you have the 7-2-1 in their last 10 Winnipeg Jets. The Jets have won two straight (including one over these very Maple Leafs on Tuesday) and now find themselves sitting in 8th in the Eastern Conference, 2 points clear of the New York Rangers. The Leafs, on the other hand, sit in 7th place, just one point ahead of the Jets. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a battle for 7th tonight. Hopefully it's a fun one. Oh yeah, and Joffrey Lupul's back in the lineup for the Leafs. So that's nice.
In the other 7 pm game, Quebec will see the Montreal Canadiens take on the New Jersey Devils. Good luck with that, Jersey.

Bakersfield's own Kevin Harvick may have been the fan favorite but was eliminated during Daytona 500
Nine car crash pushes fan favorite out of the race
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla - Kevin Harvick won't be winning the Great American Race for the second time.
The pre-race favorite was eliminated today at Daytona International speedway in a multi-car wreck on the 34th lap.
The nine-car accident was triggered when Kyle Busch bumped Kasey Kahne in Turn1, and Stewart, Harvick, Kahne and the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing Chevrolets of Jaime McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya suffered major damage.
Harvick, who won the 2007 Daytona 500, had entered the race as a favorite after winning the Sprint Unlimited and Duel qualifying race.
"That's just a part of this game," Harvick said. "We'll rebound next week in Phoenix and get on with our season."
Today's Daytona 500 came a day after a horrific crash on the front stretch during Saturday's Nationwide race sent an engine through a catch fence and tires and debris into the stands injuring over two dozen fans.

DC Mayor Vincent Gray Makes Tax Changes To Attract Tech Companies & Startups
Washington DC Mayor Vincent Gray has announced some tax changes that are designed to keep the districts budding tech scene building to scale. The changes he outlined recently will be formally announced to the city council on April 17th.
The first tax change is that District residents who invest in technology companies or take on equity as part of their employment would be subject to a 3 percent capital gains tax that they hold on investments they hold for two years or longer.
Gray's other tax plan for DC is to do away with the borders for the tax technology zones. As it stands now there are certain areas within the district where companies have no income tax for five years from the time they register with city offices. Gray has decided to make this a city wide tax break
"We want to make sure it's as easy as possible for tech entrepreneurs and business people to set up their business in the city without worrying about which streets are in and which streets are out," said David Zipper, the city's director of business development and strategy.
These tax breaks are designed to grow the number of early stage investors who reside in the city. and encourage startups to remain after they cash in.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Oosthuizen, Maria Kathleen firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-07292008-100114 Document Title The reproductive biology of the solitary Cape mole-rat, Georychus capensis and the social Natal mole-rat, Cryptomys hottentotus natalensis (Rodentia : Bathyergidae) Degree PhD Department Zoology and Entomology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof N C Bennett Committee Chair Prof C W Coen Committee Co-Chair Keywords
- Cape mole-rat
- western Cape Province
- winter rainfall period
- reproduction
- Natal mole-rat
- Georychus capensis
- Cryptomys hottentotus natalensis
Date 2007-09-06 Availability unrestricted Abstract The seasonality of wild caught Cape mole-rats was investigated, focusing on endocrine, neuroendocrine and neuroanatomical parameters. The Cape mole-rat reproduces only during the winter rainfall period of the western Cape Province. Interestingly, the gonadal steroid hormones do not show any significant seasonal patterns in either males or females. In addition, the pituitary does not exhibit a reduced sensitivity to GnRH stimulation during the non-breeding season in either sex. Moreover, in the brain the distribution, number and size of GnRH perikarya do not differ with respect to season. Therefore, although only producing young during a specific period of the year, the Cape mole-rat does not appear to be physiologically repressed from reproducing throughout the year. The results of this study imply that the Cape mole-rat is an opportunistic breeder that is reproductively quiescent during the dry season as a consequence of ecological factors such as lack of favourable burrowing conditions and that when opportunities avail themselves following aseasonal rainfall, reproduction may occur.
The seasonality and socially induced infertility of the Natal mole-rat was examined via endocrine, neuroendocrine and neuroanatomical investigations. In contrast with the phylogenetically closely related common mole-rat and highveld mole-rat, the Natal mole-rat does not appear to breed seasonally. Post-mortem examination of animals collected revealed pregnant reproductive females throughout the year. A similar scenario is reflected in gonadal steroid concentrations, with no major seasonal differences observed in either males or females. Likewise, pituitary sensitivity to GnRH does not change over season in males or females, and all neuroanatomical parameters investigated remained stable over season in both males and females. Natal mole-rats captured for this study occur in an area with a high annual rainfall, (almost double that of the common mole-rat habitat and one and a half times that of the highveld mole-rat) and the relatively higher rainfall and hence soil moisture content may provide the Natal mole-rat with increased foraging time a result of increased periods over which the soil is optimal for burrowing.
Socially induced infertility in the Natal mole-rat appears to be enforced behaviourally as a result of active incest avoidance. The circulating testosterone concentrations were not significantly different in reproductive and non-reproductive males, and likewise oestrogen concentrations did not differ between reproductive and non-reproductive females. Progesterone concentrations were very low in subordinate females, but markedly higher in reproductive females. This is not surprising since the Natal mole-rat is an induced ovulator, thus coitus is required to induce the LH surge that stimulates ovulation. The sensitivity of the pituitary to a GnRH challenge did not differ between reproductive and non-reproductive animals from either sex. No neuroanatomical differences were observed between reproductive and non-reproductive animals of either sex, however, non-reproductive males and females had significantly higher amounts of GnRH in the median eminence, implying that GnRH is synthesized and transported to the median eminence but not released in the portal system to the anterior pituitary. These findings suggest that non-reproductive animals of both sexes are not sterile, but merely sexually quiescent.

Volunteers are vital in helping ICAN achieve its mission in Hoosier communities. The opportunities to help are as diverse as the people we serve. We offer four main levels of engagement:
Interested in working with dogs?
Get hands-on with the pups by becoming a furlough volunteer! Furlough volunteers are needed to give our dogs an opportunity to leave their training environment and practice their skills in real-life situations. This is an important part of a service dog's training as primary instruction is provided in Indiana prisons which provides constant training and reinforcement but is somewhat limited to sights, smells, and sounds that are important to a service dog's education.
- Furlough volunteers assist with socialization of young puppies, exposing older puppies to public environments, dog transportation and more.
- The time commitment necessary to become a furlough volunteer is roughly 14 hours of orientation classes followed by at least 12 additional hours of continuing education annually.
- The average furlough assignment lasts 2-3 weeks. During this time, you will take full responsibility for the dog while in your care.
Please note that furlough dogs may not be left with relatives or friends who have not completed training. ICAN dogs also may not be taken to daycare facilities or bark parks. You need to be able to take your ICAN dog to work with you as they should not be crated for more than 4 hours. For their safety, ICAN dogs should also not be left loose in your backyard or house when you aren't home.
If you would like to become a part of our furlough volunteer group, please sign-up here and our volunteer coordinator will contact you directly.
Interested in helping with an ICAN event?
ICAN holds many great events throughout the year. You can serve on one of our event committees that help raise funds that train and place our dogs. A few of our committees include: ICAN's Golf Outing, Puppy Love Valentines, and Wine & Wags.
- Volunteers who serve on our event committees help with the strategic planning, resource gathering, budgeting, and public relations.
- The time commitment for event planning volunteerism varies. You can expect to spend approximately 8 to 12 hours a month meeting to discuss planning and logistics along with additional time spent aligning resources and participating at the actual event.
If you would like to become a part of our event volunteer group, please sign-up here and our volunteer coordinator will contact you directly.

WCPO.com: Job seekers getting asked for Facebook passwords
When Justin Bassett interviewed for a new job, he expected the usual questions about experience and references. So he was astonished when the interviewer asked for something else: his Facebook username and password.
Pretty stunning invasion of privacy. I understand companies wanting to know if there are skeletons in the closet, but this really goes too far. But, it does emphasize the idea of never posting something that you wouldn't want to be seen in public.
Almost six weeks after McDonald's Corp. made headlines saying it would stop using a meat product that has been referred to as "pink slime," Kroger Co. said the product is used in some of the ground beef sold at its stores.
About 70 percent of the ground beef sold at supermarkets contains the meat filler, according to the ABC News report. Finely textured lean beef is made from low-grade trimmings that are simmered in low heat, the fat and tissue is separated using a centrifuge, and it's sprayed with ammonia gas to kill germs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it's safe to eat.
I find this to be absolutely disgusting. It's harder and harder to know exactly what you're eating unless you get closer to the source like local butchers.
CNN.com: Lawmaker wants to end public assistance to lottery winners
After taking a lump sum and paying taxes, the unemployed woman said she ended up with just more than $500,000.
Asked if she had the right to the public assistance money, Clayton answered, "I kind of do. I have no income, and I have bills to pay. I have two houses."
Clayton told WDIV she would continue using the food-assistance card until it is cut off. "It's hard. I am struggling."
This story leaves me speechless.

UPDATE: Johnson has returned to the game.
Titans running back Chris Johnson left today's game against the Green Bay Packers with a ankle injury.
Chris Johnson has a right ankle injury and is questionable to return. #Titans #TENvsGB
— Tennessee Titans (@tennesseetitans) December 23, 2012
Johnson entered the game needing 196 yards to become the 4th player with 7,000 yards in his first five seasons. He is questionable to return.
On the day, he has rushed for six yards on five carries. Bad timing for all those who have relied on him all season, especially on this fine fantasy football championship Sunday.

CIPE Entrepreneurship Update
Iraq – In early June, the Kurdish Regional Government passed components of a Small and Medium Enterprises Law, which was developed with CIPE support. CIPE partner the Kurdistan Economic Development Organization's (KEDO) advocacy efforts attracted the attention of Kurdish Prime Minister Barham Salih, who endorsed the law for formal passage. Enacted components will increase the amount of capital available for young entrepreneurs by 25 billion IQD, making it easier for young Iraqi Kurds to receive a loan to start a business.
Russia – The Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessiya has signed a formal commitment to support the top graduates from a youth entrepreneurship training program being run by CIPE and its partners. The ministry will provide $123,000 in startup funding for the best business ideas conceived by students in the three-year program that trains local youth in how to launch and run a business. CIPE's partner, the Karachay-Cherkessiya Chamber of Trade and Industry, is administering the program, one of seven in the restive North Caucasus region of Russia that are part of the USAID-funded Promoting Entrepreneurship in the North Caucasus project.
Ukraine – CIPE Kyiv office head Nataliya Balandina appeared on a one-hour, national radio show to discuss CIPE's work with business associations in Ukraine. She was joined by CIPE partner Gennady Polishchuk, head of the Vinnitsa Youth League for the Development of Entrepreneurship, on the Era radio station. The station ranks in the nation's top 10 by listenership. Balandina and Polishchuk discussed entrepreneurs' rights and the effectiveness of business associations in Ukraine. Those topics came to prominence in recent months with a series of street protests organized by entrepreneurs against a new tax code pushed by the government.
Belarus – The Minsk Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (MUEE) organized a business club meeting for 52 entrepreneurs in the Brest region to discuss best approaches to improving the public-private dialogue on overcoming the current currency crisis in Belarus. In addition, MUEE held a meeting with 63 members of the non-business civil society on the role of entrepreneurship in the cultural revival of Belarus.
Paraguay – The Paraguayan Foundation for Cooperation and Development (FP) held its fourth Educators' Forum on June 15 in the city of Concepción, Paraguay in order to continue developing entrepreneurial qualities among public school teachers. Sixty department coordinators, supervisors, and teachers from the region participated in the event. FP is carrying out the forums in different regions of the country so that all directors and educators can benefit, rather than just those in Asunción. Through these forums, FP promotes the exchange of knowledge in the field of education, helps teachers realize the importance of entrepreneurship in education, and assists teachers in developing new skills that will improve the quality of education in Paraguay.
Nepal – The graduates of Samriddhi's "Arthalaya" youth entrepreneurship program have released the fourth issue of the second volume of their "Artha" newsletter, which will be distributed to various colleges, NGOs and students.
Afghanistan –CIPE assisted two girls' high schools in organizing an exhibition of students' handicrafts. The students are participants in CIPE's Tashabos high school entrepreneurship course. The exhibition encourages students to put their classroom lessons into practice by developing products and selling them.

In an effort to enliven this forum a bit, I invite wine geeks to report in, tell us about your favorite wines, and hey, let's take over the forum.
DH and I are amateur wine geeks, and spent our honeymoon in Napa and Sonoma. Our favorites are: Chardonnay: J Lohr, Rodney Strong, Chateau Ste Michelle Sauvignon Blanc: Chateau Ste Michelle Reisling: I prefer a dry one. Somewhere at home I have a label from a dry one from Alsace. Merlot: Chateau Ste Michelle (Do you detect a theme? No, I dont' work for them!); would appreciate other recommendations. Pinot Grigio: Think Santa Margherita is over-rated and over priced; make do with Ecco Domani; and would welcome recommendations! Champagne/Sparkling wines: Champagne--Moet et Chandon White Star. Sparking wine: Chandon and Mumm from California. Had a very nice Spanish cava at a party but didn't get the name. Who's next? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well....not sure I qualify as a wine geek....but, like art, I know what I like! And it seems lately I am stuck on the southeast Australian stuff! Kendall Jackson chardonnay is very nice for the gals that say..."Oh, I'll just have a little white wine if you have a bottle open"..An opened bottle of Chardonnay? Not likely unless I opened it to marinate the chicken! There is a Jaques Blanc, St Emillion 2001 red Bordeaux waiting for the proper accompaniment, and several bottles of assorted southeaster Australian whites awaiting in the fridge. Also not much for Santa Margherita....and like the Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio even less. I bought a very nice, very cheap Pino Grigio at Aldi's of all places....about $7 and really a lot better to my taste than Ecco Domani. Champagne?...Tattingers....but who can afford it! Also have had some very nice Chilean Merlots. Very fond of York Creek Zin!! But the best champagne is the kind with a cork that pops off and hides in your garden....so you know it was a good party. Right??! Linda C |
Hey, Linda! Haven't been back for a month (!) -- that pesky day job.... Yes, the best champagne is the kind that leaves corks in the garden. Ah, memories. Despite several people favoring a wine forum (on the suggestions page), I guess a regular wine thread under Beverages wasn't such a hot idea. |
Well....obviously, we are the only 2 semi geeks about. Funny, I spent a wonderful week or more in Napa about 20 years ago.....and the only thing I really remember about Chateau St. Michelle is how beautiful the winery is...LOL! After aksing at a wine shop....I have discovered that that quality I love about a big red wine is called "infused flavor".... One more word to add to the "oaky, fruity, big mouth feel etc" Linda C |
I'm fond of red wines, zin and pinot noir in particular, but also enjoy a good cabernet. Unfortunately, "good" has come to mean way more expensive than I can afford, but I get to indulge fairly often thanks to some generous friends. As for vineyards, my mind is a sieve! There was a time when my friends and I kept a list of favorite bottles, but that became rather useless as the vintages cycled into oblivion. I do have fond memories of a 1999 Rodney Strong Russian River Valley pinot noir, but wish I could remember more...including the outstanding syrah I enjoyed just last week. :-) Susan |

You spent the last 40 years fattening the U.S. Treasury thanks to those dang FICA taxes that came out of every paycheck. Now you're retiring and it's time to get your tax money back, free and clear, right?
Well, maybe; maybe not.
You certainly are entitled to the Social Security benefits your payroll taxes went toward. But the IRS also could take a bite out of those federal retirement checks.
Generally, if Social Security benefits are your only income, your benefits are not taxable. From the IRS's standpoint, Social Security benefits include monthly survivor and disability benefits; supplemental security income payments are not taxable.
But if you collect Social Security plus other income, as much as 85 percent of what Uncle Sam pays you could be subject to tax. To figure out just how much in taxes your Social Security might cost you, you'll have to do some calculating using the worksheet found in your 1040 or 1040A tax package.
If you discover that you will owe taxes on some of your Social Security benefits, there are two ways to deal with them. You can make estimated tax payments on the government check amounts. Or you can have federal income tax withheld from your benefits by completing Form W-4V, Voluntary Withholding Request, and filing it with the Social Security Administration.
This tax tip has more details on taxation of federal retirement benefits. And for more financial strategies as you count down to retirement, check out this collection of Bankrate articles.

Charles E. "Ed" Kirtley, who has an extensive background in training and administration, has been named the new director of Oklahoma State University Fire Services Training.
Kirtley worked for OSU Fire Services Training from 2004 - 2006 as an officer/instructor program coordinator. He then served as the International Fire Service Training Association projects coordinator for OSU Fire Protection Publications from 2006 until accepting the director's post for FST.
In addition to his familiarity and work for OSU, Kirtley has years of hands-on experience as a former fire chief for Guymon, a training director in Colorado Springs, and an instructor and curriculum developer for both the National Fire Academy and the Emergency Management Institute, according to Dr. David Thompson, associate dean of instruction and extension at OSU. "These personal insights and experiences have prepared Ed to continue to build on the reputation of excellence for which OSU Fire Service Training is recognized internationally. This translates to better trained and more effective fire and emergency service personnel in Oklahoma."
"I'm humbled to have the opportunity to lead this noted fire training program," said Kirtley. "The staff is exceptional and has accomplished a great deal in recent years. It is a honor to serve the fire fighters of Oklahoma in this capacity, and I look forward to working with all the fire service organizations."
Among his recent accomplishments at OSU, Kirtley coordinated the revision of the International Fire Service Training Association's manual on "Essentials of Fire Fighting," and co-developed five curriculum packages for fire training at OSU that earned approval from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Domestic Preparedness and/or the National Fire Academy.
Kirtley headed the municipal fire/EMS department in Guymon from March of 1998 to March of 2004. As fire chief, he directed three separate divisions and 60 personnel with a budget of $800,000. He led the transition of the city's EMS transport service from the police to the fire department and played a key role in its eventual certification as an advanced life support transport service. Kirtley also served on the leadership team of the Oklahoma Panhandle fire chiefs to help create an associate degree in firefighting, including an intern program at Oklahoma Panhandle State University.
In Colorado Springs, Kirtley managed the metropolitan fire department training division, including training programs and activities as well as facilities. He also served as the first chair of the Colorado Metropolitan Certification Board from 1994-1998 and was actively involved in the accreditation process of four metropolitan fire departments in Colorado.
Kirtley was born in Boise City, Okla. and was raised in Westcliffe, Colorado. He served in the Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve as a tactical air controller.
Kirtley and his wife Sandy have been married for 30 years and have three grown children.

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 Amigo (ADOPTED!)!
Facts about Amigo (ADOPTED!)
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Amigo (ADOPTED!)'s Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
AMIGO HAS BEEN ADOPTED!Amigo is an adorable, tiny and adorable Chihuahua in need of a loving home. Amigo was rescued from a pound in Kentucky. He was turned in by his owner with a dozen other Chihuahuas because he could no longer afford to feed them. Amigo is about 5 years old and weighs 6 pounds. Like most Chihuahuas, he can be a little stand-offish at first, but he warms up quickly. He loves to go for walks and loves to snuggle with his friends. He's well behaved in the home and is housebroken. He also does well with the other dogs in his foster home, both large and small. In fact, he really loves the other dogs and would be an ideal companion for an existing dog. He is quiet in the home and in not much of a barker, so he'd do fine in an apartment or condo. Amigo will be a great companion or a quiet home or for an older person looking for a low maintenance companion!
• Amigo's adoption donation is $150. This donation helps to cover his neuter, initial vaccines, initial worming and microchip. Pal's Place relies solely on donations to care for the pets in our care. Your donation also helps save other animals like Amigo from euthanasia.
• Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for an adoption application and please put the name of the dog in the subject line. Please be sure to check your spam/junk folder; sometimes the applications end up in there!
• All of our dogs are in foster homes are can be seen BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, after an approved application has been received. To receive more info please email email@example.com. Email is the preferred method of contact and is the quickest way to receive a response. We cannot place holds on our dogs, please do not contact us until you are prepared to adopt.
Other Pets at Pal's Place
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Amigo (ADOPTED!), a Chicago Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Chicago.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chicago 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 Chicago 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 Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chicago paves the way for another one to be saved.

So i know 50 cards is the tournament deck limit, how many cards does your deck usually have. I have found 50 cards too big so i tend to stay at 36. I know some think that with smaller decks is easier but i just dont like using 50 card decks.
Prefered Deck Size

I try to stay as close to 50 as possible (without going under). 51 to 54 are common numbers for my decks… if I hit 55 and don't have massive card draw in the deck, I start looking for cards to take out.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 08:45 PM
51 - I can never shift that last card. I tried using 50 card packs of funky sleeves but they splt then you get more & have spares. Playing less is easy mode but it's a solo game so knock yourself out.
Posted 20 January 2013 - 02:47 AM
I play decks with 60 to 65 cards but usually with a lot of card drawing ability to compensate for these extra cards.

Can you give an example of what cards you typically work with to help card draw? Gleowine perhaps?

I've been using this for a while... only because I didn't have anything else around when I started polishing regularly again.
Doesn't dry hard... you can definitely poke dents in your nails days (and days) later.. and it actually dulls the finish of some of my favorite OPI polishes... and it dries slowly. It doesn't do any favors as a top coat.
As a base though, I think it is fine. I haven't used anything else as a base, but my nails seem to be happy. I do not have deep ridges or other major problems to cope with, so that could definitely be part of my satisfaction with this use of the product.
As a top coat -thumbs down-
As a base -thumbs up-
As a formula that can harden your nails -thumbs up-
I have really soft nails and they chip really easily. This did a great job of hardening my nails.
As a top coat however, it just wasn't shiny enough.
This is an OK product but I could find better quality transparent polishes for cheaper :P
What a terrible formula! Takes ages to dry, and makes the first coat of colour streaky and balding, like you used car wax! It really seems like they made a mistake in the formulation. Going back to my regular, reliable Sally Hansen for $1.99.
This product does NOT work. I got it for $4 in a pack with another nail polish at a factory. But this product SUCKS! It does nothing... if I want it to do anything I have to apply it everyday on top of my nail polish.. It doesn't even have a nice finish though. It's not clear, and its not glossy, it's this weird metal look. Sorta rusted... lol, not pretty. Don't recommend this product AT ALL!
Revlon Multi-care base and top coat:
I applied a coat of this and used OPI polish on top. The first time I thought it was dry and applied polish, the result was uneven and the polish was really grabby. The second time I used it I waited longer for the product to dry thinking that was the problem. I had the same uneven application but applied a second coat of polish hoping to correct it.
Later I opened a can and my polish peeled back as though it was still wet underneath. It felt dry on top!
I did try to use this without polish on top as an alternative to clear polish and it has strenghthened my nails and actually made them grow. I have what you might want to call "butt diggers" for fingernails and they rarely reach the tops of my fingertips. So that was a pleasant surprise. But since that isn't what this product is marketed for I can't give it more than three lippies cause it stinks as a base coat. I didn't even attempt it as a top coat.
I normally use OPI and don't own Revlon polishes. Maybe this is one of those products that is incompatible with other companies. Bummer. I won't be re-purchasing again. I would only recommend this as an awesome alternative to clear polish since it makes my nails tough as....nails:).

At first I thought I would really like this because it makes my nails very shiny. However, it takes forever for it to dry to a hard finish. When I go to bed and wake up the next morning I have some slight dents and imperfections in my manicure, and this happens even when I paint my nails in the afternoon. I will not be repurchasing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a great base coat for users who change their nail colours frequently. I never have the issue of yellowish nails anymore, as this really protects my nails!.Also, it made the nail colours last longer after applying this as top coat.
The brush strand is not long enough to touch the base of the bottle, therefore it gets annoying when it is finishing soon, as I need to tip the bottle to one side, to get the liquid.
More reviews by girlydancer462
all this is, is a clear nail polish. it does nothing more to fill in lines or prevent yellowing than a plain clear polish would do. it also does not prevent chipping any more than anything else. It also does not dry very hard, i can still use another nail to chip or dent the polish. i'm going to try to return this today.
-Dries incredibly fast
-Gives a gorgeous and translucent shine
-Thin coat
-Easy and fast to apply
-Decent design
-Often dries with little air bubbles. No matter how hard I try to prevent them from forming they still come out. It makes my nail polish look cheap.
-It isn't very protective. Other top coats I've tried (OPI) don't create dents when I poke a nail onto topcoat a few days later. This one does.
-Very vulnerable to dirt, scratching... etc
Good price though, but I'd recommend investing a bit more into a better top coat. They're important!
This is a horrible horrible top coat/base coat!
I did my nails with another topcoat to test thing one out for comparison. My nails all dried with the other brand name (sally hason Intsa dri) and this one?
i waited and waited... more than 10 min?
finally thought it was dry... and started putting on my clothes
and there it went...
all the nail colour ruin!!!!
horrible product! will never buy it again!

Typical Applications
TopTIR Features
Tunability in infrared lasers is an essential feature for spectroscopy. Broad tunability greatly enhances detection of molecular absorption lines by scanning off and on (or through) spectral features of interest, while removing the effects of contaminants or other "background" interference sources. Tuning over a wide wavelength range is also ideal for detecting multiple gases, liquids, and complex molecules throughout the 3-12 micron infrared region. Virtually all complex molecules, from carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons to explosives, proteins and pharmaceuticals have detectable spectral fingerprints in this wavelength range.
RedShift's proprietary TopTIR technology offers a true solid state solution to this essential tuning requirement for infrared lasers. Compared to other solutions – such as mechanically adjusted gratings – there are no moving parts or mechanical mechanisms with the TopTIR solutions. As a result, RedShift's tunable filters can reduce system size, lower assembly complexity, provide precise wavelength control, and promise greater reliability in industrial and man portable environments.
RedShift's expertise in thermo optic materials, thin film optical coatings, micro electro mechanical (MEMS) processes, and infrared technology uniquely position the company in the tunable infrared laser marketplace. TopTIR filters use electrical signals to provide thermal optic tuning without motion, enabling very compact laser designs. An integrated heater and temperature sensor combined with external electronics provides precise control of wavelength over varying operational and environmental conditions.
Because devices are fabricated at a wafer level using MEMS-based semiconductor processing, the devices are well suited for high volume, low cost applications. The filters can be used over a range of ambient temperatures and conditions, making them suitable for most industrial applications. In TopTIR lasers products, filters are combined with a laser gain chip and optics for integration into a compact telecom style package that can readily be integrated into OEM product offerings.
The company is currently in the development stage for the TopTIR technology and is delivering customized prototypes to our OEM and other partners who see the promise of tunable infrared lasers in a variety of applications and markets.
The heart of RedShift's Optical Thermal Imaging platform is the Thermal Light Valve (TLV). The TLV translates difficult-to-image thermal radiation into light which can be imaged by standard digital camera electronics. The TLV chip itself is a passive optical component with no electronics or moving parts. It is simple to manufacture in standard foundries with only a handful of mask steps. And since it essentially converts a standard digital camera into a thermal camera, the whole system can be made in high volumes and at very low costs using standard components and assembly techniques.
The TLV is truly unique among all thermal imaging devices and in particular for those that use optical readout technology. Through the use of patented diffractive imaging techniques, the TLV readout optically cancels the all the background light, leaving only the signal resulting from temperature differences in the image. This optical background subtraction leaves the full dynamic range of the readout for the infrared signal while eliminating the background shot noise that normally degrades the performance of optical readouts.
An example of the imagery from a TLV based thermal imaging system can be seen here.
RedShift is no longer producing TLV products but is licensing its portfolio of TLV related optical imaging patents to interested parties. If you are interested in obtaining a license, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
