The I Can Make You Thin weight loss program is a book and weight loss CD, created by Paul McKenna to reprogram the mind.
Not Currently AvailableThe I Can Make You Thin weight loss program is a book and weight loss CD, created by Paul McKenna to reprogram the mind.
As Paul McKenna takes you through his four golden rules to reset your body's natural system for controlling what you eat, as well as how much you eat, you will change the way you think about food and your relationship with food forever.
By learning to listen to your body, actively thinking about food and "enjoying every mouthful", emotional eating and that feeling of guilt when you've eaten something bad, will be a thing of the past.
Paul McKenna is very specific in that the Paul McKenna easy weight loss system is not a diet. I Can Make You Thin is about reprogramming your subconscious to stop overeating, control cravings and stop you from holding yourself back.
The book is full of practical advice and visualisation exercises from Paul McKenna on how the program works, why it works and how to make it part of your new thin life.
Refreshingly, this is interjected with success stories of real people who have been where you are.
Plus there is a whole chapter dedicated to emotional eating and another dedicated to controlling cravings.
Paul McKenna uses the 26 minute long CD to take you through the visualisation exercises, relax you and fill your unconscious mind with positive will power to reprogram your mind.
Listening to the weight loss CD regularly will reinforce the changes you are making, and make it much easier to stick to the four golden rules. In fact research has shown that listening to a CD over and over again will dramatically enhance your ability to lose weight. So it is well worth taking the time out of your day to listen.

It goes without saying that everyone handles conflict differently. People have their default fighting styles, their bad habits, their avoidance tactics, etc. We've realized that the way people respond to conflict usually has something to do with their needs — some people need space and time to process, some people need to spew out all their thoughts immediately, some people need to talk about things in a logical way, some people need their emotions validated. What does each zodiac sign need during conflict? Read on to find out! Keep reading »

Process-side Delta temperatures across my heat exchangers are higher than design values. We are operating them on higher inlet temperatures of process side. How will these conditions affect my system?
Have an insight or suggestion?
Login or register to post a comment.
Re: How will varying temperatures affect my system?
9 October 2009 at 1:29pmThe simple approach is to assume that the value of overall heat transfer coefficient has not changed and utilize the calculation of mean temperature driving force to determine what the change in heat duty will be. Simply solve Q=U*A*LMTD and M*Cp*DT (HOT) = M*Cp*DT(COLD) simultaneously to determine the expected terminal temperatures for a fixed value of U and A.

Surviving 3 Kids: The Newborn Stage
Just 6 weeks ago, I gave birth to my third baby girl. My husband and I now have a 3 year-old, a 2 year-old, and a newborn. No part of it is a piece of cake. Quite honestly, 3 kids is a handful. I don't have enough eyes or enough hands! They all demand a lot of attention in their own ways and it has certainly stretched me as a mom. Figuring out the daily routine with 3 kids has been a game of problem solving, really. Some things have worked beautifully, while others have flopped in my face. The learning curve has been so great that I thought I'd start a series here on Disney Baby called Surviving 3 Kids. Each post will focus on a different facet of life with 3 little ones. Today's subject? The newborn stage…
The newborn stage is difficult. As much as I love it, it's hard on everyone. From sleepless nights to helping the older children adjust to life with a new sibling, everyone is kind of out of their rhythm. Here are a few tips for surviving 3 kids during the newborn stage:
- Get help. The more hands you have to help out with everything from meals and baths to art projects and story time, the better. Eventually, you'll learn to set up a painting station with a baby in your arms, but at first, it's great to have some extra sets of hands around the house.
- Give yourself some grace. In the first couple of weeks of our newborn's life, my older girls watched a few more shows than they usually do. They had fast food, which they never do! I was a little more lenient about things and I think it helped.
- Teach them to help. My older 2 quickly learned where the diapers were, where to throw them away, etc. The more they helped, the less "jealous" they seemed to feel.
- Let them bond. You might feel like it'd be best to keep your older kids away from the baby, but the more they can bond and get to know one another, the better. My girls love to lay in bed and talk to their baby sister. Sure, I have to tell them "not so close" or "don't touch her eyes" from time to time, but the bonding has been so neat to watch.
- Find a new routine. Kids sort of thrive when they are in a groove. When a new baby arrives, everything gets thrown off. As soon as you can find a new rhythm, try to stick to it. The quicker they learn a "new normal," the better.

Speaker Events - Tuesday, May 06, 2014
Spain's FM on Palestinian-Israeli Peace: Both Sides Must Compromise
José Manuel Garcìa-Margallo, Spain's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, pledged support to a lasting two-state solution for the Israelis and the Palestinians, and asserted that the Assad regime must be removed to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Syria.
Speaking at IPI on May 6th during a presentation entitled "Challenges in the Middle East: The Palestinian-Israeli Peace Process and Syria," Spain's top diplomat urged both the Israelis and the Palestinians to make real and tangible compromises for the sake of a stable and durable peace, at the same time guaranteeing strong backing to the process from both Spain and the European Union.
"The goal is to achieve a two-state solution [with] open borders based on the 1967 lines…with a viable, contiguous, sovereign, and independent Palestinian state," Mr. Garcìa-Margallo said. The new Palestinian state, he added, would then exist "side by side in peace with an Israel living with recognized and secure borders."
He praised US Secretary of State John Kerry's peace efforts, but said that they are facing their most challenging moment so far. At the same time, he urged Israel to halt its settlement activity and called on the Palestinians to recognize Israeli borders, as goodwill gestures on both sides.
"Israel must realize that the occupation is contrary to the principles of justice and detrimental to the health of Israeli democracy," Mr. Garcìa-Margallo said. "As for the Palestinians, we expect that the reconciliation agreement between Fatah and Hamas will lead to… the recognition of the right of Israel to exist."
Israel has assailed that reconciliation, saying it cannot negotiate with Hamas unless the group recognizes Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
Mr. Garcìa-Margallo acknowledged that the path to peace will not be easy. Ultimately, he warned, although the process can rely on strong European support, a durable solution will be impossible without the leadership of the United States.
"We [Europeans] can accompany the process, but I don't think the European Union can draft a single political path," he said. And while praising Mr. Kerry's efforts, he also recognized that the current domestic political climate in the United States is likely to further complicate the process.
On Syria, the Spanish foreign minister made it clear that an ultimate goal is the removal of the Assad regime through peaceful means.
"In Syria, we are looking for a change of regime," Mr. Garcìa-Margallo said. He also noted, however, that Assad believes there is a military solution to the conflict, and that he is winning.
Mr. Garcìa-Margallo also discussed the Geneva process and Western efforts to bring the warring parties in the Syrian conflict to the negotiating table. He said that the entire process, and the "Geneva II" talks in particular, have been largely unsuccessful.
The West understood the first Geneva communiqué as "establishing a transitional, unity, national government" that would eventually require Assad to step down, he noted. But the Russian negotiators had a different understanding as to Assad's future status, a complication that has led to the current diplomatic paralysis, Mr. Garcìa-Margallo said.
The Spanish foreign minister also argued that Iran should have been included at the negotiating table. "I think we made a mistake not inviting Iran to Geneva II," he said. "Iran is a key player in the area" because of its regional clout, but also because of its strong influence on the ground in the conflict itself, he said.
Going forward, Mr. Garcìa-Margallo indicated that many leaders in the region believe that unless the international community finds an alternative to the current Geneva framework, the conflict may last for an additional three or four years.
For now, Mr. Garcìa-Margallo reassured the international community that Spain will "continue alleviating the suffering of the Syrian people and the plight of the refugees in the region."
Asked why Spain has not done more to ease the humanitarian crisis by opening its borders to some of the refugees, Mr. Garcìa-Margallo admitted that the European Union has not done enough. But he also said that the Syrian crisis has coincided with a serious economic crisis across all European countries, which has created economic and political resistance to the idea of welcoming Syrian refugees.
IPI President Terje Rød-Larsen moderated the discussion.

However, he said the company already is starting to put some of that square footage back into production.
Business is up significantly for Dole Mushrooms, said Gary Schroeder, director of Dole Mushrooms and president of Oakshire Mushroom Farm Inc., Kennett Square, Pa., which markets the Dole product.
The Dole label provides a marketing advantage because it is a tool that helps retailers sell more product, he said.
But the news wasn't all positive.
Just more than a year ago, Quincy Farms in Quincy, Fla., announced that it was closing its mushroom growing facility that employed 490 people, and in early November, Creekside Mushrooms in Worthington, Pa., sent a letter to employees saying the company planned to lay off 260 workers, according to a local TV station.
Some other companies also were said to be in trouble, but Caldwell said the loss of domestic producers "probably won't immediately impact the supply."
Meanwhile, grower-shippers seemed optimistic for 2010.
"We expect 2010 to be even better than 2009," Sagan said. "We are starting to see signs of consumer confidence rebounding, and with it, we expect recovery of the foodservice industry with consumers dining out more."
At Giorgio Foods, Litvin said, "We expect business to be stronger in 2010 as the economy improves and the foodservice side of the business recovers."
To-Jo Mushrooms in Avondale plans to add new products this year, said Paul Frederic, senior vice president of sales and marketing, and Phillips Mushroom Farms in Kennett Square is building a new plant and will increase its volume, said Kevin Donovan, national sales manager.
Caldwell said he expects the international canning market to tighten, which could affect the fresh market by prompting small, domestic fresh growers to sell to canneries if they can get close to the same money for their product.
"Within the next three months (these developments) could really tighten the market up substantially," Caldwell said in December.
A similar situation arose a few years ago and had a substantial impact on the marketplace, he said.
"We don't know if that will happen this year," Caldwell said, "but the potential is certainly there."

Outside of David West and Lance Stephenson, Tuesday night's Warriors-Pacers fight was a skirmish between a bunch of the nicest guys in the league. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Roy Hibbert going at it isn't really "Gladiator," you know?
I mean, Klay Thompson is such a sweetheart that on top of the $35,000 fine the NBA levied against him, his dad (former NBAer Mychal Thompson) is going to take his allowance away. From ESPN Radio, as transcribed by Believe the Hype:
This was the first time that Klay has ever been fined for an on court indiscretion in his NBA career and the consequences will be more noticeable to him than just the $35K fine. The 23-year-old doesn't have access to his money, all cheques are paid to Mychal and Julie who take care of his accounts for him to make sure Klay's financial situation is set up for his post NBA career. So, naturally, Papa Thompson's going to teach Klay a lesson of his own by fining him personally also, however, Klay will find out the old fashioned way.
"He will [find out he's been fined by us] when he sees that cash envelope show up a little short this week," he said.
A few things here:
- Haha to all of this.
- Parents still get mad when their kids get in fights, even when they're adults.
- Getting docked allowance probably won't help Klay's reputation as a guy who looks like Cory Matthews on "Boy Meets World."
- Klay Thompson's parents control his bank account?
To that last question, the answer is yup.
So, if Mychal takes care of Klay's finances, what does his week-by-week financial situation look like?
"Rent is $3K … Walking around money $300 a week…" Mychal explained. "That's a lot of money to go to the movies and buy pizza…"
But what if Klay wanted to take a girl out on a nice date?
"Go to Langers in Oakland … Go to the grocery store and get a nice [bottle of wine] for $30…"
What about the corkage fee?
"Sit in the car and drink it."
Seems like Mychal Thompson is a pretty good dad, except for maybe the part where he tells his son to sit in a car drinking a bottle of wine, which is almost definitely illegal. As a former player who's been around the league for decades, he knows the struggles that young players often have with their money and he's taking steps to prevent that from happening to his son. Plus, he seems to realize that if he takes Klay's allowance away when he gets in fights, he can probably trick him in to not trying to fight guys who are 7-foot-2, weigh nearly 300 pounds and have gone through MMA training. This is just a dad looking out for his son and that's pretty nice.
And, of course, it's also hilarious because an NBA player is getting his allowance taken away. Let's not forget that. TBS Very Funny, even if he's just playing around.

When my game is ailing, there's one place I can turn. It's the same place that keeps me warm all winter, in anticipation of spring mud oozing between my Softspikes. It's where a fifty-four-year-old Ben Hogan shoots thirty on the back nine in his last Masters; where Leo Diegel, in desperation, invents the elbows-out putting style that Bernard Darwin dubbed "diegeling."
I go to my golf books. From this inexhaustible source flows great literature in all conceivable forms: history, fiction, journalism, biography, memoir, essay and the ever-elusive answer to the question "Why do we shank?"
More ink has been spilled over other sports: There are twice as many books on baseball, for example. Yet a couple of things set golf literature apart. One is that nearly all who read it play the game, and the writing is as rich with personal experience as it is with professional triumph. Also, golf is half a millennium old, so its storehouse of characters, lore, rivalries and shots heard 'round the world is unsurpassed.
Which makes selecting the twenty-five best books that much harder. For help, we recruited a distinguished panel of players, course architects, historians and journalists. Their comments are interspersed throughout.
Which books would be eligible?We decided they should be either currently in print or available used from online bookstores or collectors' sites. (An excellent source for handsome reprints is the aptly named Classics of Golf; 800-483-6449 or classicsofgolf.com.)
In paring down from a nominating list of about a hundred titles to the final twenty-five, we had to make some agonizing choices. Our hope is that whether or not you agree with us, you will feel that wonderful itch that can only be satisfied by hunting down a certain book and curling up with it. You may even want to hold it in the manner of Ferdinand, the P.G. Wodehouse hero who, after winning a match and thereby the girl of his dreams, "folded her in his arms, using the interlocking grip."
1 BERNARD DARWIN ON GOLF by Bernard Darwin, edited by Jeff Silverman (2003)
Darwin, grandson of the naturalist, took up the game in the guttie era. He captained the golf team at Cambridge, distinguished himself as an amateur and began to realize, from under a barrister's wig, that by going into law he had made a serious mistake. In 1907, an old friend recommended Darwin to replace him as golf writer for the Evening Standard. For the next half century, until his death in 1961, Darwin wrote with such a fine eye that he is often called the greatest golf writer—some would say sportswriter—of all time.
But which of his numerous fine books is his best?The Golf Courses of the British Isles, combining travelogue, history and a discerning critique of architecture, was golf's first coffee table book. The Darwin Sketchbook is an essential selection of profiles. Mostly Golf is entirely gold. Yet none capture his incredible range.
That's where this new volume comes to the rescue. Silverman has put together the largest anthology of Darwin's writing ever—404 pages of Bernardo (as his friends called him) on topics ranging from the urge to smoke while playing to the matter of a friend who lulls himself to sleep with imaginary rounds. In his 1932 essay "New Year's Eve Cheer," Darwin treasures the frostiness of January 1, when nothing can disprove a golfer's "pleasantly fatuous belief" that he will play better in the new year. "How grateful we golfers ought to be," Darwin writes, "that our game will last us almost as long as we last ourselves, and that hope can still spring eternally in our ridiculous breasts." (The Lyons Press, $25)
2 THE GOLF OMNIBUS by P.G. Wodehouse (1980)
When Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse died in 1975 he was ninety-three years—and ninety-six books—old. He wrote with a twinkle, merrily satirizing the English upper classes from which he came. In his golf stories there is no more noble pursuit than par, which his duffers tilt at like Quixotes in argyle. Poor Rollo Podmarsh, for instance, finally breaks a hundred but is overcome by "a curious discomfort within him. He felt as he supposed Italians of the Middle Ages must have felt after dropping in to take potluck with the Borgias." But the endings are all happy, and love conquers all. In short, as panelist Charles McGrath states, "Wodehouse is nitrous oxide between hardcovers." (Gramercy, $13)
3 THE STORY OF AMERICAN GOLF by Herbert Warren Wind (1948)
In the second half of the twentieth century, Wind contributed as much to golf as the force of nature with which he shares a name. He helped Ben Hogan codify his knowledge of the swing and Gene Sarazen and Jack Nicklaus tell their life stories in riveting fashion. (He also gave Amen Corner its name.) And, like a certain famous Englishman, he took golf reportage to a new level of specificity, insight and narrative grace, writing primarily for the New Yorker. He always saw himself as the heir and apprentice to Bernard Darwin, but in some ways he surpassed the master, translating his principles into a lively, colloquial American idiom. First published in 1948, Wind's most cohesive work traced American golf from its earliest stirrings in Yonkers, New York, in 1888. He updated the book in 1956 and again in 1975, nearly doubling its size. The Story of American Golf is just that—a great story. You can't put it down even though you know how it all turns out. (Classics of Golf, $39)

'Girls' Season 2, Episode 5 Recap: 'Please Don't Tell Anyone This…'
Whether you thought it was the most brilliant Girls episode to date or the young show's unquestionable nadir, "One Man's Trash" was certainly unexpected, after the smorgasbord of plot development and Jessa/Shoshanna screen time in last week's "It's a Shame About Ray." Actually, "unexpected" isn't the right word for it: "One Man's Trash" was downright strange, in the sense that it was a bottle episode between two characters, one of whom was totally new to the series and who may or may not ever appear in Girls again. But even more than just its structure, the episode was a big ball of weird tonally -- after mixing hipster jokes and thoughtful coming-of-age commentary for a season and a half, this ep presented raw emotion, copious nudity and ping-pong table sex, refracted through a baffling odd-couple pairing that never really rang true. "One Man's Trash" wanted you to feel everything. It was understandable if you felt nothing.
For starters, the episode got off to a clunky start in Grumpy's, with Ray arguing over trash placement with local hunk Joshua (Patrick Wilson) as Hannah stands idly by. Hannah later calls out Ray for being "horrible," and rightly so… but his horribleness didn't make any sense! Even the biggest of curmudgeons would just yell at a staffer if they were dumping Grumpy's trash in local cans, but instead, he calls the guy a "pink-o" and precedes to motivate Hannah into quitting. What happened to that aw-shucks love pronouncement at the end of last week's episode, Ray? Hasn't that warmed your heart at all? When both Joshua and Hannah storm out, Ray chides his customers for watching "panda videos," and who doesn't love a solid panda video? This is just Ray being grumpy at Grumpy's, for no good reason.
But that's only the tip of the "for no good reason" iceberg: Hannah follows Joshua back to his apartment, invites herself in, compares his ridiculously opulent abode to a setting in a Nancy Meyers movie (a fresh female film voice giving an elder her due props, no doubt), blurts out the fact that she's been the one dumping her trash in his cans, and kisses the perfect stranger. Why? Aside from the fact that Joshua's pectoral muscles possibly hold the key to the lost city of Atlantis, what's going on here? Hannah is self-centered and vulnerable, sure, but she's not crazy; following a stranger home, barging into his apartment and kissing him because he's good-looking (and, yeah, rich) is decidedly loonier than, say, her one-night moment of weakness with Laird. Even if the idea of The Handsome Man is impulsively attractive to a 24-year-old misanthrope, she still lives in a rational world with social rules that she at least tries to abide by, however clumsily.
Anyway, Joshua kisses her back, because he's 42 and he's lonely and he's oddly enchanted by this chatterbox who refuses to call him by his Christian name. Joshua's lust for Hannah makes a little bit more sense once the circumstances of his separation are filled in, and his bristling at his cool-kid neighbors demonstrates that he's become out-of-touch with dumb fun within his brownstone castle. It's a little odd that this guy is literally begging for Hannah to stay with him, but he's also clearly looking for an escape from his humdrum doctor life -- and so, there's some shirtless ping-pong amidst the impassioned intercourse, and Joshua is downright giddy as he calls out of work. (One note about the coitus in this episode: unlike nearly every other Girls sex scene, the nudity and R-rated ongoings are actually not awkward this time around. The scenes between Hannah and her new pal are actually steamy, and nicely contrast the neurotic, and even unpleasant, sex that she has had to endure with her ex-lovers. Underlining the differences between the nurturing Joshua and the brooding Adam through well-shot sex scenes is one of this episode's best moves.)
Sadly, the euphoria cannot last, as Hannah has known all along. A too-hot shower makes Hannah pass out, and when she awakens in Joshua's lap, she seems to have awakened in the real world -- the one where sweet, hunky older gentlemen have to go back to work and cannot blissfully read newspapers on patios forever. Hannah's problem is not that this particular fling has to end, since surely she would have assumed that "happily ever after" wasn't in the cards for this 42-year-old and herself. Rather, the problem is that she wants that wedded fairytale to happen… maybe not with Joshua, but with someone, someday, and soon. "Please don't tell anyone this, but I want to be happy," Hannah confesses in the most telling line of the episode, and maybe of the series so far. It was a devastating moment for the young Brooklynite, and Joshua quietly but swiftly backs away from Hannah, her feelings and her Fiona Apple quotes. He has to go to work tomorrow. And Hannah has to go home.
Kudos to Girls for switching up its style and taking a risk that few viewers saw coming. However, the question remains: what have we learned from this explicit rendezvous? There were some interesting moments and clever one-liners, but Hannah's desire for romantic stability and financial security has always been one of the touchstones of the show. This was a more intimate glimpse of Hannah and the gears churning inside her fragile mind, but Girls fans don't necessarily need their protagonist's inner feelings spelled out in a string of bedside declarations. The episode felt like a muddled setup in an effort to get to that "I want to be happy" line, and while that moment was a stunner, it wasn't worth the journey to get to it.

Top 10 Airports for Shopping
Frankfurt (FRA)
Frankfurt International Airport is the largest airport in continental Europe and with 250 businesses and 60 different stores (many with multiple airport locations) boasts the shopping to match. Most flights from the U.S. arrive at the airport's larger Terminal 1, which is where you'll find the broadest selection of stores, from luxury brands like Etro and Hermès to American favorites like Levi's and Timberland. Look out for SØR, a Germany-based high-end chain stocking brands like Lacoste and Gant; Pfüller Kidskonzept, for upscale clothes and toys for kids; and Porsche Design, a subsidiary of the car company that offers design-centric briefcases, watches, and even cell phones. Once past security, take advantage of duty-free shopping on the likes of Burberry, Ferragamo, and Swarovski. And if your layover in Frankfurt doesn't leave sufficient time for retail therapy, you can purchase any item from duty-free online up to 12 hours before your flight then pick it up at the airport. www.frankfurt-airport.com

Wrestling With Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took on New York's Master Builder and Transformed the American City | By Anthony Flint | Random House | 256 pages, $27
All city dwellers, and especially New Yorkers, owe a debt to Jane Jacobs. More than anyone else in the mid-twentieth century, she made the argument in favor of humane cities: which is to say, cities built for people, not as sterile showcases for architecture, or object lessons in municipal planning, or money-spinning machines for local developers. In an era when planners and elected officials were busy implementing the massive highway and housing projects that came to be known (and later condemned) as urban renewal, Jacobs was insisting that urban environments should foster existing communities.
These arguments have never been more relevant than they are today. After decades of neglect, infrastructure is once again attracting interest and money from the federal and state governments. It's an especially fruitful time to revisit Jane Jacobs, and that is exactly what Anthony Flint does in Wrestling With Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took on New York's Master Builder and Transformed the American City.
Flint's book makes an important contribution to our understanding of how battles over urban development play out. In particular, he offers considerable insight into the way community activists and their shifting allies in government defeated plans for two major New York City construction projects in the 1950s and 1960s. The first would have run a highway through Washington Square Park, in the heart of Manhattan's storied Greenwich Village; the second, a similar highway through a densely populated swath of Lower Manhattan.
The main nemesis in each of these battles was Robert Moses, who held so many different government positions over the years, and had so little oversight, that he was essentially a local dictator. He pushed hard for the two highway projects. In both cases, he was forced to accept defeat—and in both cases, Jacobs had a hand in the coalition that vanquished him, first as an inexperienced foot soldier, than as a battle-hardened leader.
Flint is especially good at showing us how the outcome of these battles depended on who could better sway the sympathies of the press and the public. Jacobs actually began her career as a journalist, and Flint—a longtime journalist himself, although he has now moved into land-use advocacy—demonstrates how that background aided her activism.
In one case, for example, a number of supposedly independent neighborhood groups supported the city's plan to "renew" the western section of Greenwich Village, in which Jacobs and her family happened to live. Her investigative skills allowed her to discover a connection between these groups and the developer chosen for the project:
Then she took the detective work a step further. Flipping through her saved correspondence, Jacobs discovered that one of the firm's associates, a man named Barry Benepe, had written her a letter asking about a travel fellowship. Then she noticed that the press releases from neighborhood groups supporting the city's plans looked remarkably similar—whenever the letter r appeared in both documents, it was dropped slightly. Jacobs hired a forensic expert, who confirmed that the developer's correspondence and that of the supposedly citizen-based groups backing urban renewal… originated from the same typewriter.
Again and again, Flint uses this sort of detail to animate his protagonist's struggles. He is also an expert at setting the scene and developing character, starting with his initial paragraphs, which introduce Jacobs to the reader:
The public hearing had already begun when she arrived. After stopping to add her name to the list of people requesting to speak, she headed toward the front of the auditorium, acknowledging the applause that rippled up from the crowd as she passed, a flash of white hair bobbing along the aisle, thick black glasses perched on an aquiline nose. She took a seat at the front of the hall.
By opening with this hearing, rather than donning a sequential straitjacket, Flint plays to his own dramatic and narrative strengths. Our first encounter with Jacobs shows her at her finest. She is leading a group of downtown Manhattan residents in revolt against New York State Transportation Department officials. For these urban-renewal apparatchiks, the hearing was meant to be a mere formality on the way to eradicating a substantial stretch of downtown New York City and replacing it with the Lower Manhattan Expressway. Watch Jacobs as she springs into action:
She called the crowd forward, and about fifty people, some carrying placards, moved up the stairs, with Jane leading the way.
[The hearing's chairman John] Toth rose from his seat as the first of the protesters stepped onto the stage. "You can't come up here. Get off the stage!"

11 days, 9 cities, 6 airports, 5 beds, 4 countries, 2 continents, and 2 very happy and tired travelers who are thrilled to be flying home.
We're flying home today.
Yes, on the 4th of July. The joke has been, of course, that we're fleeing the tyranny of Britain and declaring independence by returning to the United States. It is purely coincidence, but it does make me reflect on our country, what it means to be an American, and yes, why I am still proud to be one.
I am "proud" to be an American because that is who God made me. He chose to birth me into this wonderful family in this wonderful country where we enjoy amazing freedom and privilege because of His amazing grace and the sacrifice of countless men and women who have fought on our behalf.
I am thankful beyond words.
But you want to know the real reason why I'm proud to be an American?
We have the tremendous privilege of sharing our extraordinary wealth to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and share the hope of trusting in Him.
I love my country more than ever and am praying that we don't miss the amazing privilege we have:
The privilege we have to share:
- Of the 6.7 billion people in the world, 2.7 billion live among the unreached people groups of the world and 1.6 billion are completely unevangelized.
- 70,000+ people die everyday in the unreached world without Jesus.
- Of foreign mission funding: 87% goes for work among those already Christian. 12% for work among already evangelized, but Non-Christian. 1% for work among the unevangelized and unreached people.
- Christians make up 33% of the world's population, but receive 53% of the world's annual income and spend 98% of it on themselves.
- Americans own approximately 40% of the world's wealth but comprise only 2.5% of the population.
- North American and European Christians spend $12.5 trillion on themselves and their families each year.
- Only .1% of all Christian giving is directed toward mission efforts in the 38 most unevangelized countries in the world.
I'm not sharing this to rain on your 4th of July parade! I just think that it is exciting to realize that we have SO much potential we have to bless the nations because we've been so blessed.
And the cool part? You don't even have to get on an airplane! The most unreached nations are those that are closed to North American travelers, so you can make a much greater impact by simply giving to those organizations that raise up, train, support, and send out native missionaries to reach their own countries. Looking for a way to celebrate our wonderful country today? Celebrate by being a blessing to the nations.
Oh sing to the LORD a new son; sing to the LORD all the earth! Sing to the LORD, bless His name; tell of His salvation from day to day.
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples! (Ps. 96:1-3)
Happy 4th of July … check out the fun links below.

I have some newly purchased crinum lilies and know very little about them. I do know they had lots of babies and I was wondering how to go about separating them. They do not seem to have roots but are sprouting off the main stem. Sorry I do not know the variety. How hardy are most crinums? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have been wanting them for a while and have been researching them a little lately.I don't have them personally but from what I understand they do not like to be divided and will not bloom as soon if you do. Apparently they are one of the few things that prefer to be a little crowded so you MAY prefer to leave them as is rather than wait longer to see blooms. Maybe somebody with more experience could help you more. Good luck with them! -Ais. |

Better late than never, maybe someone else with a similar question can benefit from my post. Crinum lilies CAN be separated, but it'll be some work. We used to grow these all over when I lived in the Caribbean. Our gardener, a really talented guy, showed me how its done. You dig the whole flippin' thing up during its slow time since it doesn't really go dormant. We did this in January there. The mother bulb might be enormous. You can separate the large pups off with a big knife. The smaller ones with break off. Replant the mother and pups in holes deep enough up to just below the base of the bulb. He tossed some well rotted manure in the bottom of the hole. Our experience was that the first year after neither the mother nor the pups bloomed. The following year, they did and all set little new pups. The whole process seemed pretty brutal, but they did fine afterwards. |

Hello and welcome to my ePortfolio!
My name is Sara Bellanca and I am a freshman Physical Therapy student at Ithaca College. Along with my major, I have chosen to pursue a minor in Deaf Studies.
My experiences with physical therapy began when I was eleven years old. I was required to go to physical therapy for a shoulder injury. The profession fascinated me and I desired to learn more about it. Once I got into high school, I began to shadow physical therapists and realized that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! For my senior project, I shadowed a physical therapist for five weeks. Not only did this solidify my decision of a major, but I also discovered that I was intrigued by American Sign Language and decided to pursue that was a minor.
Please feel free to look around! Enjoy!

Hi GG,
Now that I'm evidently copying you with the square plastic pots, what do you use for saucers under the pot? I got mine from Chula's. Susan |

I don't use saucers under most of my pots, because they're sitting in flats that catch the runoff. But when I do need to use saucers, I just wedge them into the classic round ones. At their current size, most of my strategy revolves around avoiding the use of saucers whenever possible. I like to be able to pick up my plants in groups and move them to the table to water and prune and inspect. I get lazy when there are a bunch of free standing plants sitting in front that need to be moved. :X Probably these Dischidia are one weekend away from being relocated. I do collect the white square saucers for my large aircone pots, from packaging that comes with frozen samosas. I talk about it here. I'm pretty sure there is a slicker solution out there, but I am eating samosas as fast as my plants are maturing so far. :P Sorry I can't be more help. ^_^ Let me know if you come up with something brilliant. |
I'm not too terribly worried about it right now because my plants are outside on my front porch. My front porch looks like a jungle with pathways to walk. LOL! I love your plant set. I call my plant setup a "redneck sunroom" and I hope I don't offend anyone by saying that. I guess I'm as redneck as anyone. I feel so peaceful out there and when I get the harpy music going, I'm ready to channel spirits. LOL!!! Susan |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 6, 12 at 11:40
Yeah, I have to be OCD about how my plants are organized because I don't have the luxury of sequestering them in their own private space to go wild. It makes my blood pressure go down to be near my plants, too. That's why I made the decision to put mine right underfoot, even though it earns me weird looks when I have visitors. I miss having a front porch. It's the best room a house can have, imo. So, this harpy music... are you using it to channel feral bird women, then? jk ;) |
Yes, visitors don't quite know what to say so usually they say nothing. I kid you not, non plant people can sit down in the midst of all the plants and not even make a comment about them. LOL!!! I went back and looked at your plastic containers and I think I have probably put too much soil in my 6 inch containers. I probably should just do halfway of the pot. |

Manipulating the CX market has been a fun little adventure of its own for me in WildStar. The Carbine devs have created an interesting game for sure, but their crafting system is absolutely gloryholed with flaws and oversights. Don't mind me, however, as the complicated nature of the CX/AH has created a field day of profit opportunities. Stupid people list items below vendor value or don't realize some items can be made below material costs. Great times for me as someone who picked up on this quickly. I've got enough to afford a full year of Credd at this point and I'm highly tempted to purchase them all right now. For some reason I really like seeing this ;>
If your curious, yes, I've already purchased 2 Credd at about 6 plat in cost. So yea, in theory I'd be around 70 plat ;> Quick math equates this booty to around $240 USD. Not bad.
The new zones are interesting, but mostly I'm fascinated by making money. Its something that carried over well from EVE for me (though this economy is woefully doomed and shortsighted compared to EVE's).
Anyhow, thought I'd make a quick post in between my tradeskilling activities.
#wildstar #economy
Interesting comments although it completely lacks any support for your claims. It seems like you blame the wildstar economy for the fact that you can make money in game. Should wildstar prevent you from auctioning stuff below vendor value?
You also mention that you can make things for under cost. I assume that is by buying stuff from the AH. Once again should wildstar limit the freedom of players to the point where they are not allowed to sell items to you for under cost?.
I guess you probably dont uderstand how economy works which is a shame. As you make your few plat, almost half of the advanced riding mount so grats on that, you are buying stuff off the AH and dumping it into one of their vendor sinks. This drives up the cost of the items you are buying. As more people pick up on this and buy stuff from players who believe that they are getting a good value for their goods the price will increase. Eventually the profit will shrink or completely disappear.
The takeaway is this. You had fun so wildstar did what it is intended to do. Maybe this is the first time that you have ever made money in an MMO because you realized something before other people did, once again grats. Now take that skill and apply it to the real world.
Allowing a player to list items under vendor cost is poor user interface/user experience? That doesn't make any sense. If you went onto ebay and tried to list something for less than what its worth it will let you and it should. Personally im not a fan of vendors buying player commodities like ore in the first place. It sets up an arbitrary baseline price on a part of the economy that is player driven. The commodity should naturally find its own level.
As for the oversight/gap/logicslip that will only apply if 100% of the materials for that component are vendor bought.
The carbine npcs are the fed reserve and so are the mobs. MMO's have tons of faucets, if you finally came around to the argument that all money faucets in games are bad then I am glad to hear it. The one that you found utilizes other players through the AH which is better by far than most of the faucets that games have.
I do agree that a major way to give the economy more teeth is to have durability that leads to destruction but that wasn't any part of my argument.
I KNOW YOUR SECRETS.. well, one of them. Give me plats and I'll stay quiet =p

Primary science education
Amy Strange has changed her mind.
As a research scientist turned primary school teacher, I have predictably strong opinions on the place of science in primary school. But I've been surprised to see how my view on science education has evolved over the last 12 months of training.
I have been shocked to see how little priority science is given in primary schools. The balance of teaching time, right from the early years, is heavily skewed towards literacy and numeracy while science feels, at best, a poor cousin. During a recent parents' evening, not one parent asked how their child was doing in science.
National drop
Perhaps we should be worried by this shortfall: in international rankings of science at primary, published last year, the UK dropped from seventh to fifteenth out of fifty countries. The Department for Education blamed this on ill-equipped teachers, but it seems the scrapping in 2010 of national testing of science for year 6 pupils (11 year olds), could also be responsible.
It is obvious that teaching literacy and numeracy should be, and is, of key importance. However, I feel that equipping children with the skills to become scientifically literate citizens of the future is an equally valid goal. But I no longer believe that upping the status of science lessons in primary school to rival literacy and numeracy is the only, or necessarily the best, answer.
Enquiry-based education
Science is not just about knowledge, to be accumulated during science lessons. At its best science involves thinking, reasoning, hypothesizing, testing and rethinking: discovering and understanding the world around you. These are skills that babies are born with, and children are masters at. Their innate curiosity needs to be nurtured and developed into scientific thinking that can be woven into all subjects, and should not remain the preserve of a science lesson.
I think primary aged children will begin to develop as scientists through widespread enquiry-based education, by having opportunity to question, play, explore, construct, talk and discover, to challenge and explore their environment.
Happily this is something I did witness, daily, in schools. It is particularly obvious in the early years, where emphasis is placed on child-centered play and exploration, but even the oldest primary age children thrive on open-ended tasks and opportunities to think and reason, indeed it was invigorating to see such thinking across the curriculum.
Secondary learning
However, once these skills have been developed, I think that there needs to be emphasis on evidence-based learning, at the heart of secondary school science.
The measles outbreak in Wales earlier this year demonstrated the importance of a scientifically literate population. Parents were led by disproportionate media interest, and decided not to vaccinate their children, based on badly reported, over-stated claims. This shows the need to teach the skills required for assessing evidence, so opinions can be based on sound science rather than gut reaction or media hype. The need to develop these skills is equally important in issues such as energy supply, cloning and food technology, where wanting to know why isn't enough.
So although as a unique discipline science is arguably scant at primary, it is reassuring that the skills required for scientific thinking are infiltrating from the earliest stages, but these need to be further developed and honed from enquiry to evidence based thinking.
I no longer think it matters that parents aren't concerned about how their primary aged child is performing in 'science', as long as they care whether their child is asking questions, is interested in and wants to discover more about the world around them. As a teacher, I know we can foster this every day, in every lesson.
The Primary Science Education is of utmost importance for young kids to enhance their knowledge and learning curiosity in the broad field of science.

Forget Bloom Energy. According to Thomas Friedman's latest column, the new new thing in clean tech this week will be Calera, a Californian start-up that has developed a way to turn CO2 captured from coal- and gas-fired plants into calcium carbonate, by spraying it with seawater or bubbling it through seawater, according to an 18-month old Scientific American story, which has more on the technology itself.
Both stories make the point that making cement is a very CO2-intensive process, so Calera's technology could potentially not just capture CO2 in a relatively simple way, but also reduce the CO2 generated in cement production.
Exciting stuff. Calera is one of several clean-tech companies that well-known venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has backed, and, Friedman says, is Khosla's "favorite baby right now".
More interestingly, Friedman cites 'a source' saying that US coal giant Peabody is about to announce an investment in Calera.
This would be very interesting because much of the coverage so far of Calera, and a Canadian firm called Carbon Sense Solutions that has a similar technology, has focused on their efforts as a way to reduce the carbon emissions from cement manufacturing. However the company is also experimenting with capturing emissions – and heat – from a small-scale coal boiler.
Interest from Peabody would suggest that Calera's approach is looking like a viable alternative to more cumbersome carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies.
Friedman then goes on to talk of course about Bloom Energy, confessing he doesn't really understand it, but a bunch of big companies including Google are using it so – well then! But he helpfully adds:
Attention: These technologies still have to prove that they are reliable, durable and scalable — and if you Google both, you will find studies saying they are and studies that are skeptical.
Um, studies saying they are scalable? Surely some mistake.
Anyway, he finishes by saying that carbon should be priced and that American politics has 'gotten so impossible lately' that Americans have stopped dreaming. Both of which are hard to argue with.
Update: Thanks to a reader for this link, which asserts that Friedman's description of the calcium carbonate creation process is rather, well, simplistic.

9 Terrifying Stories of Injustice from Matt Taibbi's New Book, 'The Divide'
In his new book, The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap, Matt Taibbi takes a look at the growing problem of inequality in the justice system. Taibbi shows, through many examples, that the way justice works in the United States is divided pretty starkly between the wealthy and successful (and mostly white) and the rest of the country. The system assumes that wealthy Americans are innocent, even when they commit crimes, and their punishments are either nonexistent or minor. Poorer Americans, on the other hand, are assumed to be guilty and face harassment and punishment well beyond their crimes, particularly when coupled with the treatment the rich get.
