Ready to sign up? Do so here. Have more questions that I can help with? Send me a message.
Do you need to see statistics on this opportunity? According to the US Census bureau there is one child born in the USA every 8 seconds. That is 60/8 = 7.5 children every minute. Which is 7.5 * 60 = 450 per hour and 450 * 24 = 10,800 per day and 10,800 * 365 = 3,942,000 per year. In a 10 year period there are 39,420,000 new children born in the USA. If an Usborne consultant works with 1,000 children under age ten in a year then we need 39,420 consultants to cover the USA. A current estimate on the number of Usborne consultants is 10,000, therefore we need 29,420 more!
29,420 consultants is definitely a conservative estimate of how many are needed. Of the current 10,000 or so Usborne Books and More consultants registered, not all are currently active and a considerable number are purchasing books only for their own family (which incidentally is a GREAT reason for becoming a consultant). Let's think a minute also about the idea of one consultant working with 1,000 kids under the age of ten. Assuming that an average family has three kids, 1,000 kids would belong to 333 families. It would be a very busy consultant who could manage 333 homeshows per year. That's more than one per day!!!
Who is in the Usborne audience anyway?
You might also want to know that it's not just kids under 10 years old who enjoy Usborne books. Usborne books and activity kits appeal to a wide audience. Many adults enjoy the art, craft and cooking books. Non-fiction books have a wide appeal and are of interest to people of all ages because of the great factual content. True Stories and World War books are loved by many older gentlemen, as well as by teens and pre-teens. Usborne books are great for helping adults who are growing their own literacy skills. Books designed for toddlers and pre-schoolers are helpful in therapy for adult stroke survivors and many, many Usborne books are just loved by both children and adults with Autism and Downs Syndrome.
Still wondering whether there is space for you to be successful as a consultant? Another way to figure out the saturation point in direct sales is that saturation occurs at 3% of the population. Current USA population is around 300,000,000. 3% * 300,000,000 = 9,000,000. Wow — Great Fun Books needs 9,000,000 – 10,000 = 8,990,000. That is 8 million 990 thousand more people on our team! Now wait a minute, that doesn't seem right. I'm not a math whiz but something smells wrong here. If 3% of the population were consultants that would mean every consultant has on average only 33 customers and that includes folks of all ages. That would definitely be saturation.
Does this pass on the "makes common sense" test?
Hmmm... I think we should forget all these statistics and use common sense. How many Usborne Books and More Home consultants have called you during the last year to tell you about their business? Before I became an Usborne consultant I was NEVER even once invited to a book party at someone's home. I got to shop at an Usborne pre-school bookfair exactly once in 8 years, and I never had ONE person tell me about how to start my own direct selling business with Usborne. If you've had anything like the same exposure to the Usborne business as I had before I started doing this, common sense will tell you that there is LOTS of opportunity out there. Still wondering just how many consultants are working in your area — contact us and we will get some information to you.

Breakfast Topic: Do you like PvP? {WoW}
Apr 3rd 2012 1:47PM I enjoy some PvP, sticking strictly to unrated battlegrounds.
However, as other players have pointed out, gear trumps skill. It is frustrating to get full honor gear, be at 4.6 K resilience and still get rofl-stomped by players in conquest gear.
Furthermore, there are big discrepancies between the classes. I am an easy kill on my full honor geared affliction warlock one versus one. While my subtly rogue who has only two pieces of PvP is an absolute terror.
There is also the problem that battlegrounds are full of jerks who troll chat and make for an unpleasant atmosphere.
There are decent players too, many who wish to improve the current state of battlegrounds. I have also been in great matches where players of both factions focused on objectives and playing well.
I'd love to hear from some beta testers what battlegrounds are like with the changes in resilience Blizzard implemented.

Have Group, Will Travel replaced with faster flight paths, flask "Chug-A-Lug" perk removed {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 2:16PM Way to totally miss the criticism. Let me sum everything.
1. Adding 15 to 30 additional minutes to get ready to raid does not improve the game.
2. Blizzard thinking that requiring folks to use flight paths is going to immerse the players into the game more is seriously misguided. Sitting on an auto-piloted flying mount for long periods of time is boring not immersive.
All I'm thinking is "I'm not there yet? Damn."
I am NOT thinking "Wow, what a cool world. Look at those trees! Look at those hills! Those designers did a great job on the particle effects."

USHL: Petrash's Late Goal Spoils Dubuque Comeback
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA -- The Dubuque Fighting Saints erased a five-goal deficit, but Corey Petrash scored with only 52 seconds left in the game to earn the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders a 6-5 win in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Dubuque trailed 5-0 in the early potions of the second period, but marched back with five straight goals prior to Petrashs tally. The best-of-five series, which shifts to Dubuque next Friday and Saturday, is now tied, 1-1.
With Cedar Rapids up 2-0 in the first period on goals from Dylan McLaughlin and Andrew Oglevie, Karson Kuhlman was assessed a five-minute major for head contact on goaltender Danny Tirone at the 16:18 mark. With Seamus Malone bringing the puck over the blue line, Kuhlman was looking for a pass, and was focused on his teammate. Malone let a shot go instead, and Tirone stepped out to the top of the crease and Kuhlman, still looking towards Malone, ran into the goaltender. Tirone dropped to the ice, and the referees escorted Kuhlman to the penalty box.
The RoughRiders used the major powerplay to its full extent. Cedar Rapids scored three times on the man-advantage, with two deflection goals coming from Dylan Steman before period one ended. At the 18:41 mark, the RoughRiders tipped a shot between the legs of Dubuque goaltender Kevin Reich. Then with only six seconds left in the period, Steman deflected a Mark Auk shot over Reichs glove to end the first period at 4-0 Cedar Rapids.
Andrew Poturalski added to Cedar Rapids lead, scoring once more before the major penalty ended. Only 33 seconds into the second period, he scored past netminder Ben Johansson, who replaced Reich to open the second period, to make it 5-0.
Dubuques comeback began in rapid success with a trio of goals. The fast and furious three-goal flurry came in a span of exactly one minute. At the 8:58 mark of the middle frame, Alexx Privitera got the Fighting Saints on the board. With a 5-on-3 powerplay, the Dubuque captain fired a shot from the high slot that beat Tirone over the catching glove to make it 5-1. With Dubuque still on the man-advantage, Robby Darrar struck just 16 seconds later. Seamus Malone threw a pass from the left wing to the far side of the ice. Darrar made no mistake, one-timing a shot past Tirone to make it 5-2 at 9:14. On the next shift, Jarrid Privitera made it a two-goal game. Shane Eiserman brought the puck over the blue line and fed the Dubuque forward. He walked around Tirone, tucking in a shot underneath the pad of the goaltender at 9:58.
In the third period, Dubuques comeback continued. Only 12 seconds into the period, Jacob Benson struck to make it 5-4 RoughRiders. Alexx Privitera let a shot go from the right point that Tirone stopped, but Benson fired the rebound past the netminders left pad.
At the 9:51 mark of the third period, Dubuque equalized. With the Fighting Saints maintaining puck control, Seamus Malone received a pass from Josh Elmes. Malone waited for a shooting lane to open, and from the left point, he snapped a wrist shot that beat Tirone over the shoulder to make it 5-5.
The game went back and forth in the final minutes. Cedar Rapids had the puck in Dubuques zone along the left wing board. Josh Elmes knocked down a RoughRider player and in the process, lost his helmet. With Elmes distracted, Poturalski came up with the puck and fed it to Petrash who streaked in on goal, and lifted a shot over Johnassons glove at the 19:07 mark to give the RoughRiders the win.
Cedar Rapids outshot Dubuque 37-35 in the victory. The Fighting Saints were 2-for-5 on the powerplay while Cedar Rapids was 3-for-5.
The series shifts to Dubuque next Friday, April 18 with a 7:35 p.m. puck drop for Game 3. The evening is sponsored by Dubuque Fire Equipment and media partner Xtreme 107. The first 3,000 fans receive a playoff pom-pom courtesy of Dubuque Fire Equipment. Game 4 will by Saturday, April 19 at 7:05 p.m. in Dubuque. That evening is sponsored by Exceptional Dentistry and media partner WGLR. Tickets are available by calling 563.583.6680, or online at DubuqueFightingSaints.com.

Jul 14th 2009 1:48PM Musicabright asked...
"Why do Dwarves worship the Light and not the Titans?"
Their Titanic origins are a pretty recent discovery. The Explorer's League isn't a particularly old organization, either. Their fascination with the Titans is a relatively new thing, and Light worship predates it significantly. The two beliefs don't necessarily contradict each other, either. In Azeroth, it would be pretty hard to deny that the Light exists, wouldn't it? Almost as hard to deny as the existence of the Titans. As long as the practices of the Light don't conflict with trying to learn more about the Titans, where's the problem in putting some faith in both?
Heck, Shaman that spend their days listening to the Elements can worship the Light if they want to do that. Tauren that worship the Earthmother can follow the tenets of the Light right alongside it as long as one doesn't work against the other.
That is incorrect if you read the lore on the official site, It states that dwarfs have known from the beginning Where they came from, All about trogs etc

An electrical device that had been installed expressly to prevent a power outage caused the Super Bowl blackout, the stadium's power company said Friday as it took the blame for the outage that brought the game to a halt for more than a half-hour.
Super Bowl commercials: 10 spots to look for during the Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers game
Celebrities, humor, babies and cute animals will once again rule the commercial breaks on Sunday during Super Bowl XLVII, advertising's biggest showcase, when more than 111 million people are expected to tune in.
Marketers have spent millions and pulled out all the stops to `wow' viewers this year.
Which team did Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger and other stars say would win the game? Check out our photo gallery of 35 of the celebrities who made picks at http://bit.ly/celebpicks
Here are 10 spots they hope will make you skip the bathroom break or beer run during the big game:
1. Samsung Mobile's 2-minute ad in the fourth quarter called "The Big Pitch" stars "Knocked Up" actors Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen and was directed by Jon Favreau ("Iron Man"). The company has not released details about the ad's plot other than to say that it shows Rogen and Rudd on a "quest to become the next big thing." A teaser ad shows Rogen and Rudd trying to talk about a Super Bowl ad without saying the words "Super Bowl."
2. Best Buy's 30-second ad in the first quarter stars Amy Poehler, star of NBC's "Parks and Rec," asking a Best Buy employee "lots of questions."
3. Kraft enlists Tracy Morgan from NBC's "30 Rock" to introduce its new Mio Fit water enhancing drops in a 30-second ad during the third quarter.
4. Hyundai Motor Group's Kia invents a fanciful way that babies are made, blasting in from a baby planet in its "Space babies" ad for the 2014 Sorento crossover.
5. First-time advertiser Paramount Farms is touting its Wonderful Pistachios brand of nut in a 30-second ad in the third quarter in its "Get Crackin"' campaign that stars Korean pop sensation Psy.
6. First-time advertiser Axe's 30-second ad in the third quarter of the game shows a woman in the ocean getting rescued by a sexy lifeguard, but going for an astronaut instead. It promotes Axe's new cologne "Apollo" and its contest to send someone on the first suborbital space tour in 2014.
7. Audi's 60-second ad in the first quarter, with an ending voted on by viewers, shows a boy gaining confidence from driving his father's Audi to the prom, kissing the prom queen and getting decked by the prom king.
8. PepsiCo's Frito-Lay's Doritos "Crash the Super Bowl" ads are back for the seventh straight year. Two 30-second commercials made by consumers will make it on the air. Fans voted for one winner and Doritos chose the other.
9. Ford Motor Co. enlisted late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon to choose road trip stories submitted by Twitter with the hashtag #steerthescript to base its Super Bowl commercial for Lincoln. The story line for the 30-second ad was developed from 6,117 Tweets about road trips and features rapper Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons, Wil Wheaton, who acted in the iconic science-fiction series "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
10. The Milk Processor Education Program, known as MilkPep and popular for its "Got Milk?" print ads, is featuring actor and professional wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in a 30-second ad in the second quarter that is directed by Peter Berg ("Friday Night Lights.")
More Super Bowl Stories
Officials of the Superdome and its utility company say they will hire outside experts to investigate why power failed for 34 minutes during the Super Bowl.
The three-week-old star of Budweiser's Super Bowl ad now has a name: Hope.
While authorities investigate the causes of the 34-minute Super Bowl blackout, documents show that Superdome officials were worried last fall about losing power at the big game.
The national ad critics were quick to the punch in getting their thoughts out about the Super Bowl ads out. On Monday, Cleveland-area pros weighed in, too.
Oh, now you want to win the Scripps Celebrity Super Bowl Poll? What are you, a wiseguy? Well, actually you are, or at least you played one on TV if you're Tony Sirico, this year's winner.
Between a partial power outage, overly excited quarterback and a game that suddenly turned from snoozer to sizzler, CBS had its hands full with the Super Bowl. The audience offered a final reward, though.
When the Baltimore Ravens scored one of its touchdowns at the Super Bowl on Sunday, hundreds of fans in Baltimore won free furniture.
It was a surreal scene as players and fans waited while Super Bowl XLVII was halted for 34 minutes due to a power outage in the New Orleans Superdome.
The Super Bowl is as popular for the game as it is for its commercials and this year's selection was no disappointment with ads that ranged from the comical to the sentimental.

UK forecast for the next 5 days
Feeling cold with further wintry showers.
Wintry showers mainly in the north and west, but settling snow mainly confined to hills. Still feeling cold, especially in the north and west with significant wind chill. Drier further south and east, with sunny spells developing.
Further wintry showers overnight, with snow over hills. Gales in the north and west, but a windy night for all parts.
Turning colder still across Scotland and Northern Ireland, with showers turning to snow again even at low levels. Feeling very cold in the strong winds, gales in exposed western parts.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Remaining very cold. Fine and dry for many with snow showers around coasts exposed to northerly winds. Risk of more widespread rain and snow in the west early next week.
Updated at: 0306 on Fri 30 Jan 2015
Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Tuesday 3 Feb 2015 to Thursday 12 Feb 2015:
The general cold feel to the weather will continue during the first week of February, as the northerly winds bring hail, sleet and snow showers to the country. Showers will be frequent across northern parts and may affect other coastal areas at times, with widespread overnight frost and ice too. There is a low probability of more widespread rain and snow over south-western areas, in the first couple of days. Strong northerly winds at first, with gales in places, will lead to a significant wind chill, this gradually easing. The driest and brightest weather will be across sheltered southern parts. There are signals for a change to less cold temperatures and spells of rain by next weekend, though there is still a risk of snow, frost and ice at times.
UK Outlook for Friday 13 Feb 2015 to Friday 27 Feb 2015:
It looks most likely that unsettled conditions will continue across much of the UK with temperatures closer to normal when compared to the start of February. This may be more obvious across parts of southern and western Britain where it might be a little wetter than average as spells of wind and rain make their way in from the Atlantic. However, there is the possibility of pressure building around the middle of the month bringing drier conditions but with colder temperatures than average, particularly to the south.

Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Chief Executive Wasim Khan MBE has been an extremely busy man and is loving every minute of his new job.

Date: Thursday 30 August 2012
Leicestershire produced a good batting display on a rain reduced third day of the LV=CC game against Kent.
Kent moved to 350-8d with Brendan Nash the last man dismissed for 119 while Rob Taylor claimed his maiden first-class five wicket haul.
Matthew Boyce dropped anchor at number four with 78 not out and shared important stands of 93 and 64* with Will Jones (48) and Josh Cobb (31*) as the team replied with 171-3.
Leicestershire will therefore resume the final day trailing by 179 with seven first innings wickets intact.
Heavy morning rain, coupled with the deluges from yesterday, meant that play wasn't able to start until 2.30pm after several inspections from umpires Michael Gough and George Sharp.
Kent resumed on 322-6 and had a substitution as James Tredwell was called up to the England ODI squad. Adam Riley was the nominated change while Matt Coles came in to bat alongside Brendan Nash.
The visitors started with intent as Nash cut seven runs from the first full over of the day and the batsman then drove through mid-on for four. Coles swept for four in Naik's second offering before launching into two full-blooded drives in the next over as Kent recorded a fourth batting point.
However, Taylor (19-2-91-5) gained revenge with the last ball of the over as he had the batsman caught by Ned Eckersley looking for another driven boundary. Nash then followed to the next ball to an Alex Wyatt catch as he looked to launch Naik and that prompted a declaration.
There was an early blow as Michael Thornely nicked Charlie Shreck's second ball to Geraint Jones. Eckersley had a tough examination from the former Nottinghamshire man but found time to drive through backward point for four before striking to the fence through mid-off.
But the keeper became Shreck's second victim as Darren Stevens took a tremendous left-handed catch at second slip. The ball looked as though it was heading for four but the former Leicestershire man dived to take a low effort.
Leicestershire were in trouble on 14-2 and Stevens could have had a couple of wickets himself as the session developed. Boyce nicked in his first over and Jones edged in his third but Coles put down the first chance at second slip while Geraint Jones couldn't hang on to the second one.
Jones regained composure to drive two successive fours immediately after his reprieve while Boyce twice drove through the off-side in what turned out to be the last over of Shreck's first spell. Jones cut through backward point to register his third four and the stand then passed fifty as the opener nicked through the cordon.
Leicestershire moved to 70-2 at tea and the batsmen continued to pick off the bad ball after the break. Boyce cut away for four while Jones drove to the ropes and also guided down to the third man boundary.
Boyce drove down the ground as the 100 came up but Jones fell two shy of a maiden Leicestershire 50 as Stevens pocketed another catch at slip, this time off Coles. Cobb opened his boundary account with a cover drive and Boyce then moved to an 84-ball 50 with his fifth four, a cover drive.
Cobb produced a terrific pull off Shreck to record another four while the batsman hit two fours through mid-off and a six back over Shreck's head in his next over as he raced onto 25. Boyce also twice drove for four as the stand continued to flourish; it went beyond 50 as Boyce pulled through square leg.
Riley bowled a good spell and Shreck then switched ends but Cobb was still winning that particular battle as he drilled over mid-on. The duo then batted sensibly in the closing stages to ensure there was no further loss.

Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. If my timing is correct…since I do write this ahead of time…we are almost ready for the final showdown for the presidential race. Speaking of the presidential race I have read that then new Iphone…the one that features Siri…"you speak and she answers"...has a serious flaw that can lock up your Iphone or worse may cause serious problems with your software. It has been reported that if you ask Siri who you should vote for..she will respond.."I cannot locate a decent candidate for you," and immediately shut down. I guess the smart phones are a lot smarter than I thought. Also I would like to report that I have a magic garbage disposal. I was not aware of its magical qualities till this weekend when I turned it on to grind up some leftover food from supper. It started making a kind of grinding sound that could have been food or it could have been a utensil thrashing madly around inside. As I reached for the stop switch a spoon, as neat as could be, popped up out the garbage disposal opening and landed in the sink. This was not a fluke because this happened again a few days ago..however the bad news is that it is not so magical with forks and knives. Other points of interest, my subscription to Newsweek is now in jeopardy. I was just informed that early in 2013 they will go totally digital, and me without a kindle or even a smart phone. Not that I have great desire to try and read a magazine via these electronic devices, but it does kind of limit my access to that type of intellectual stimulus. I mean, I have no idea what I will do if Mad Magazine decides to follow Newsweek's lead into an all digital publication.

Well, I think that is a wrap for me. Max and I need to go vote, which is proof that the current voting laws are not too stringent. As always be good, play safe, and vote..it is your right…use it wisely.

Our story this week is found in the life of Laverne Farmer, who helped to oversee Samford's financial operations from 1983 until his retirement in 2000. A study in competence and character, Mr. Farmer died last week, facing the transition with grace, stoicism, and gratitude for a blessed life. He provided stability for our institution during important years of transition. On more than one occasion, I've heard him tell the legendary story of the time that Samford friends took a birthday gift of two pairs of trousers to the very frugal Ralph Beeson. Mr. Beeson reportedly thanked his guests, admired the trousers, then handed back one pair with the admonition, "I only need one pair. You can return the other pair and get your money back." Laverne was a good steward of relationships, as well as a good steward of Samford's financial resources.
The world is better because Laverne Farmer was born into it. We mourn his passing, and we celebrate a life well lived.
The mission of Samford University is to nurture persons in their development of intellect, creativity, faith, and personhood. As a Christian university, the community fosters academic, career, and ethical competency while encouraging social and civic responsibility, and service to others.
The Samford community values lifelong:
Anchored in Christian understanding, Samford University will be a diverse community, stressing vigorous learning and personal faith, in the Baptist tradition. Within that commonality, the Community will be innovative in teaching, learning and research; sensitive to global issues; aggressive in self-assessment and continuous improvement. Faithful to its mission, Samford will be known and acknowledged worldwide by holding to its core values. The world will be better for it.

I know somebody's going to laugh at me, cuz Im laughing at myself right now.
I think 1 carrot seed grows one carrot. Right? one seed does not grow "a bunch" of carrots? :) |

- Posted by rich_manure z6 SEMA (email@example.com) on Mon, Feb 25, 08 at 17:59
If your laughing at yourself I think you know the answer:) However to obtain a bunch you need to plant the seeds with enough spacing or they will crowd each other out and not grow well. |
Possible you heard something about beets. Beet seeds are multi-gems and can actually give more then one plant. Carrots are single-gem seeds. |
doris, don't feel bad. A few years ago I planted beets for the first time. I really (still) don't have much experience with vegetables anyway, and two years ago even less. Anyway, I planted 20 seeds, thinking 20 beet "plants" would give me beets all season! As the seeds germinated and sprouted, I did more research, and then I realized that one seed yields one beet. Boy did I feel dumb! Luckily for me, I got 100% germination, and also luckily for me, my kids for some inexplicable reason don't like beets, so my DH and I ejoyed every one of those 20 beets, lol, 2 beets at a time per dinner. I think those were the most savored veggies I ever grew, lol, because we knew that there was a very limited amount! I'm trying carrots this year for the first time too. Good luck to you! :) |

thanks guys! :) Ill do a few this year, I think I need to make a raised bed for them, I need to see how well on did on the soil improvements this past year. :) |
- Posted by rich_manure z6 SEMA (email@example.com) on Tue, Feb 26, 08 at 10:38
Doris carrots (at least for me) are NOT easy to grow properly in ground unless you have really good soil with little or no clay. Just to avoid disappointment why not grow some in a container with good potting mix. What other veggies are you growing. |
- Posted by dorisl 5 NW Chicago burbs (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Feb 26, 08 at 21:18
Lots of maters. Last year I had bad luck with everything else. "( Im hoping for some peppers, kohlrabi's squashes melons. :) |
Rich, a question on carrots in containers - what size pot do you use or recommend, and how many carrots per that pot? Also, can carrot seedlings be easily transplanted, or would you suggest starting them in the pot they will live in? (Doris, hope you don't mind me asking this on your thread!) :) |
- Posted by rich_manure z6 SEMA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Feb 27, 08 at 9:59
The containers should be fairly deep and not the oval/dish type shape, more like a bucket 2 gallons or more would work fine. When sowing you can over sow to ensure good germination then cut back to allow about two or three inches in between carrots. You will get mixed messages on transplanting, some have no problems but others will tell you they grow deformed, I start them in the container I don't transplant. You said your growing peppers this year, I always have trouble with the sweet variety when grown in the ground, so last year I did several in containers and had great success so this year I plan to do alot in containers, try one or two in a container. |
Poor Dee and her 20 beets... If you have space, you don't have to think your one planting of beets (or carrots) is all you get - you can keep planting them all season. If you have clay soil, it's likely that you have low availability of phosphorus, really important for root crops. So add rock phosphate or bone meal (if you're organic) or triple phosphate. |
I had never been able to grow good carrots in the ground, so last year I drilled holes in the bottom of a 5 gal. bucket, filled it with ProMix, and sowed the seeds directly. When I had to thin the seedlings, I added the cut greens to salads. I got such nice carrots that this year I'm planning to sow several buckets of carrots. I may also try to plant successive crops and add some worm castings to the mix. One of the nice things about growing veggies in containers is that you can move them around, even though a 5 gal. bucket can be pretty heavy after it's been watered. Good growing to you! Rich wrote: |
I have very rocky/gravelly soil. Even though I mixed in lots of compost, my carrots didn't do too well. They were very short, about 3-4" long. |
ROTFL! Don't feel bad about the carrot question. I thought about asking the same one. ;) |

Small Particle Accelerator Liner
Name: N/A Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I have read a little bit about particle accelerators on the internet. I was wondering why it would not be possible to build a small particle accelerator liner or other wise that could be used to generate electricity for home/residential use. Even though the math seems complicated the design seems simple enough. Could someone build one almost homemade to be used to turn heat into electricity? I've read that these things can generate radiation so that would have to be a real consideration. If possible what type of system would be used steam or other, and where would one go to learn more about it. Last of all, would the department of energy even allow such a thing if someone attempted it assuming it could be done. I ask this question because I have considered using solar energy for a home but wondered why not a particle accelerator instead. If it could generate electricity and could be built cheaply it seemed like an option. I'm not a home owner yet just thinking about it. Well that's my question. As you can tell this question is not from a person well educated in this specific matter but I do appreciate your time as well as your response
I am not particularly familiar with the field of particle physics but do occasionally run across articles on the subject. The particle accelerators that I am familiar with use huge amounts of energy (I've never heard of one that used other than electrical energy as a source) and produce beams with very few particles at very high energy. They do not generate energy, they use energy to accelerate a small number of particles to high energy. They are expensive to build and take up large amounts of real estate. As a result, only governments, educational facilities, and large corporations can afford to build and maintain them and use them for research purposes to learn about physics of particles at the subatomic level.

Keep reading and learning on here. Looking for some advice if any of these plants would grow in Lehigh/Fort Myers are in full sun to cover a sloping side of the lot and crowd out weeds:
I asked a local nursery here if creeping thyme/or phlox would grow, all they said was no, with no reason and tried to sell me some jasmine that to me looked real woody, and to me wouldn't cover as ground cover. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think Vinca grows almost anywhere. As for the Jasmine, it makes a GREAT ground cover. It's too hot and humid for most of the creeping plants, which just melt, due to mold and mildew, but not this one. I live in NW Florida, and it's too hot and humid in my area to grow ice plant, anything close to the ground, such as creeping anything. I have never tried creeping wintergreen, but I suspect the story would be the same. |
I live across the river in Cape Coral. My experience with the plants you listed is: Ice plant needs partial shade in the summer. I ripped mine out years ago. creeping thyme grows well in part shade as well. I expected it to be an annual but I have had it well over a year now. Vinca I agree will grow anywhere as Kay said. Phlox will grow in the winter as an annual, once summer comes it will be a gonner. I don't know what winter creeper is. I recommend mimosa as a beautiful ground cover for your slope. |
- Posted by hester_2009 9a/b Sarasota (My Page) on Wed, Feb 1, 12 at 10:02
I've used asiatic jasmine as a great ground cover. The winter creeper is sometimes mis named- what you want is barleria repens - lots of google images - I have it in purple and orange (which is the native version) and the purple grows like crazy. Flowers off and on and in one summer, two plants covered 20 square feet at least. It's hardy and will flower best in full sun. I really like this plant. Mimosa is also good - the former owners of my house put it in, and despite covering it with cardboard for lasagna gardening, it is all over the place! I wish creeping thyme worked here, but I've never had luck. |

Wondering if I could get some advice from the color experts. The three benjamin moore colors that run pretty much through my entire house are turtle green, brunswick beige and shaker beige. What color would you recommend with these colors for crown and base moldings and trim? Totally stumped here and the painter (of course) needs an answer yesterday. TIA! |

That was the title of the July 20 event of the New America Foundation, in which the Kauffman Foundation's Bob Litan laid out some principles to provide a sense of direction in the heavy debate on whether innovative entrepreneurship lies in the hands of government...
Thanks to a new partnership, all Startup Weekend participants can help kickstart their businesses with a .CO domain registration at no cost for the first year. The .CO domain name scholarship program will kick off at over 40 Startup Weekend events to be held during the month of April in China, India, Norway, France, Algeria, Albania, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Czech Republic, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, Belarus, Iceland, Denmark, Canada, Australia, Poland, Turkey, Uganda, Mongolia, the Philippines, and the United States.
The Kauffman Foundation recently announced a partnership with Lean In, a nonprofit organization founded by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg that is committed to offering women encouragement and support to achieve their goals—specifically to help cultivate more balanced teams and more female leaders and entrepreneurs.
A few years back, a report from the Kauffman Foundation shook up the common perception that there were hordes of young tech geeks—all looking to build the next Google or Facebook—driving an entrepreneurial revolution. The Coming Entrepreneurship Boom showed that 55-64 year olds had the highest rate of entrepreneurial activity while 20-34 year olds had the lowest. Last week, a new survey from American Express OPEN shows that the Great Recession didn't exactly make things any better for Generation Y.
Despite a difficult economic climate, many young Americans are still interested in entrepreneurial pursuits. A Harris Interactive® online poll, conducted on behalf of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, released in conjunction with the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week, reveals that 40 percent of youth ages eight to 24 would like to start a business at some future point, or already have done so. Additionally, young people are overwhelmingly optimistic about the possibility of owning their own business. Seventy-five percent of the eight- to 12-year-olds, 62 percent of the 13- to 17-year-olds and 62 percent of the 18- to 24-year-olds agree that they can successfully start their own businesses if they work hard.
The latest Kauffman Firm Survey is out and paints a gloomy picture of 2009 as it related to new firms – tighter restrictions on capital, slow sales, and increasing problems with customer payments.
A new report from the Kauffman Foundation reveals that the pace of recovery in hiring and job creation since 2008 is stronger in newer firms – those two years old or younger – than in more established companies. Job Creation, Worker Churning, and Wages at Young Businesses is the seventh report in a series using data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Business Dynamic Statistics.
The unemployment pressure does not appear to abate. Layoffs continue every day and despite massive government intervention for economic recovery, there is little evidence of anything more than a slow, prolonged recovery. It is time to give a payroll tax holiday for young firms.
Young firms and their ability to raise capital will be the focus of a discussion in Washington next week at the Brookings Institution.

You're about to meet a composer whose songs you never have heard, but whose music you may never forget. His name is John Beltzer, but don't look for it on the music charts.
You won't find him selling out big concert halls, either. Nor will you find his CDs at your local music store. And that's just fine with him because he writes, plays and sings what he calls songs of love for only one person at a time,- every one of them very special, very young, and very sick, Correspondent Dan Rather reports.
John Beltzer is beginning to compose a love song. His inspiration comes from a girl he hasn't even met. Her name is Ingrid.
Ingrid Barcia, 16, was recently diagnosed with leukemia. She wants to be president of the United States, loves painting, and comes to Schneider Children's Hospital in New Hyde Park, N.Y., at least three times a week for medical tests and chemotherapy. Today, her therapy is coming in a different form: a song. It's Beltzer's song, which Ingrid is hearing for the very first time.
"It's not about selling records. It's about making a child smile," says Beltzer. "When you write a song for a child in a style that that child likes, and then you couple it with the fact that it's about them, so it's sort of like a double dose of music medicine."
Working out of a small apartment in the New York City borough of Queens, Beltzer runs a non-profit foundation called "Songs of Love." He raises funds and is paid through contributions.
Beltzer works with about 60 composers in various cities. They write and record custom-made songs tailored to the taste of individual children being treated in hospitals across the country and around the world. A detailed profile, like the one Ingrid completed, lists a few of a child's favorite people, a few of their favorite things.
Once performed and recorded, the song is usually mailed, and sent overnight if the prognosis is grim. And business is good, which is the sad news. There are so many requests that Beltzer says he and his team have already created more than 7,000 songs.
David Sookhoo, 5, also has leukemia. His treatment is painful and debilitating. He spent two months in the hospital, and now faces at least two and a half years of chemotherapy. If his medications work, David's chances seem pretty good. More than 85 percent of kids like David survive.
Now, a song of love is being written just for him. To write David's song, Beltzer recruited composer Danny Obadia. The lyrics came from David himself.
"He's into making pineapple pizza, the big red dog, playing hide and seek, collecting 'Thomas the Tank Engine' movies, plays with his cars and motorbikes, plays with his trains, and from this we begin a song," says Obadia.
Singer Angela Workman was hired to help perform the piece. For many years, Workman traveled the world as a backup singer for Ray Charles. Now, she'll be paid only a small fee, just $50. Obadia gets $100.
But however sweet the sound, nothing can hide the reality for David's parents, Shyna and Prym Sookhoo.
"It's very hard," says Shyna.
"David lost his childhood," says Prym. "He doesn't have that childishness in him because of the chemotherapy. And because of the leukemia. And because of that, we lost that, too. All his friends are in school, having a good time and where is he?"
Shyna and Prym hope the song will cheer David up.
Beltzer rarely gets the chance to witness a child's first reaction to a song, so 60 Minutes asked him to hand deliver David's CD so we could watch both of them.
"Some kids really respond well, but some kids get very shy, but inside they're bubbling with joy. You can see it," says Beltzer. "They're like, they look, ya know back and, this, 'Wow, this is about me.'"
Beltzer: So how does that sound?
David: Good.
Beltzer: Yeah? You approve?
David: Yeah!
Beltzer receives lots of thanks from grateful parents and children. But there was very little appreciation for his talent back when he began his musical career as an aspiring rock star.
At 27, he competed on a 1980s talent show, and lost. And there was personal tragedy: his twin brother, Julio, a musician himself, was suffering from schizophrenia. In 1984, Beltzer witnessed his brother's leap to his death from a rooftop.
How did that experience change him? "What I did was I tried to cope with it by keeping the dream alive," says Beltzer. "I know Julio would not have wanted me to fall apart. So I kept going with the music. And I kept pursuing it."
And then one day, Beltzer had a revelation. "I was walking down the street in my neighborhood, and I had the epiphany," says Beltzer. "The realization, like, 'Wow, could you imagine writing a song to help a sick child feel better?'"
He wrote six songs in four days for kids at St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, and then he heard a voice on the telephone.
"The voice I heard was this little girl's voice saying, 'Thank you for my song.' And she had cancer," says Beltzer. "I hung up the phone, and I cried my eyes out for half an hour. And that was what -- sort of the confirmation. I knew that I was on the right path."
Beltzer's songs of love have crossed paths with kids like Aiyana Middleton and her mother. Aiyana, 3, is recovering from stomach cancer.
The sound of music can't always drown out the sound of sickness, loneliness, and isolation. But there is medical evidence that music can help patients where machines cannot. We saw just how potent a prescription of music can be for 8-year-old Victoria Sidorski. When we first met her, Victoria wasn't interested in any music. She was feeling nauseous. She was uncomfortable.
Victoria has brain cancer, and she is undergoing grueling chemotherapy. Sometimes, she can feel better by playing her song -- best of all with her family, where she takes center stage.
At moments like this, Victoria feels embraced: "It is all about me. When I listen to it, it makes me feel good when I do not feel well."
Victoria's parents, Jeff and Cathy, say when their daughter is not singing along in a crowd, she listens alone in her bedroom.
"She starts to sing along with the words, smile. It makes her think about something positive other than that she's sick," says Cathy Sidorski. "They really should know that what they're doing has a true impact on a child's life like Victoria, who's going through such a difficult time. For them to see -- if they could only see her smile and sing that song, I think they would appreciate that."
And for Beltzer, the reward he gets is not measured in record sales, but in smiles. These are his gold records.

Note - references below to specific teams like Devrel are purely for illustrative purposes. I don't intend to suggest that the council actually needs to step in right now to fix anything in any of these teams. On 04/21/2010 08:27 PM, Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto wrote: > On 18-04-2010 11:58, Richard Freeman wrote: >> All other positions of leadership/etc exist to facilitate day to >> day work. All are subordinate to one of these two bodies.

Furthermore, we have some special projects like Developer > Relations and Infrastructure that need particular care as their > "subordinate role" is either not so clear or not so desirable. Here is my concern. I didn't vote for the lead of any of Gentoo's projects. At best I might get a chance to vote for one or two. However, I do vote for the council. So, the council represents the developers of Gentoo as a whole. If a project team wants to do something that the council considers detrimental to the distro as a whole (though perhaps it is optimal from the POV of the single team), then they should have the right to step in and make amends. The council and trustees are the most democratic bodies in Gentoo, and it is fitting that they ultimately wield the most power. > To address specifically your point about conflict of interest, that > is something that we should never waive casually. Agreed, that is why the council shouldn't just step in and deal with an issue unless it is a serious one. Who gets to decide if an issue is serious enough? Well, that would be the council, since they're the most trusted body in the organization. > But we have a policy on how to deal with developers and the eagerness > on the idea to throw it away and just let the council (the single > body council?) do what it wants, is very disturbing to me. Who voted to create this policy? Who gets to change it? If I want to change devrel policy, how would I do that? Suppose 85% of the Gentoo devs want to change it? Right now they'd need to somehow convince a majority of the members of Devrel to change the policy, or elect a lead that would. If the members of devrel are mostly from the 15% who disagree with the change then that might not happen. If devrel just boots the council on some pretense, should the council not be allowed to hear their own appear since it is a conflict of interest? My point is basically that closed groups like devrel should always be subordinate to an elected body - either the trustees or the council. If you look at any other serious organization the purpose of committees and bureaucracy is to serve the organization, and the organization is represented overall by the board of directors, who are elected by the members/shareholders/etc. This system works well - ultimately the members have absolute authority in elections, but the directors oversee things from time to time, and the committees and bureaucracy deal with the day-to-day. For example, the KDE team shouldn't be running every decision past the council. They probably should try to communicate to the community what they're up to, and they're one of the teams I'd actually consider among the better in this regard. If the council sees a big problem then they should be able to step in if necessary, but they should of course use discretion before doing so. That's really all I'm saying. The council should not wield its power with a heavy hand, but it should not be prevented from intervening on behalf of the community when necessary. To be honest, the complaint around here (perhaps warranted, perhaps not) seems to be more that the council doesn't do enough - I'm not sure that any council in memory would be eager to micromanage every project team. However, this is why devs should consider maturity when electing the council. The council doesn't do what it wants - it does what the developers as a whole want. By all means throw in a recall provision in the GLEP if you want, but if the dispute is between the council (elected by all) and some project lead (maybe elected by a few devs they work closely with), I'd say the council will have the best overall perspective.

State of the Cosmetics Industry, Part II
By: Rachel L. Chapman
Posted: September 25, 2008, from the October 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 9
With the many treatments designed to impact skin, skin sensitivity has become a greater issue, leading to developments in anti-irritating and anti-inflammatory formulas. In one example, the synergistic effects of bisabolol and ginger extract were examined, showing that the two combined resulted in an anti-irritant effect on detergent-induced erythema. Additional research has shown that biomimetic peptides could be useful to address neurogenic inflammation in the skin since nerves are involved in the functions of skin cells. One researcher on this topic noted, "You will be hearing more about neuropeptides in upcoming years."
Sun. A great deal of funding has been poured into the effects of UVA on skin. For example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) saw enough evidence of its damaging effects to propose classifying a product's level of UVA protection separately from UVB protection on sunscreen labels.
In addition to UVA, photostability has been of great concern in sunscreens. Many studies have been initiated to examine the instability of commonly used UV-absorbing components and to find new materials to provide better protection against UVA exposure throughout extended periods of use.
Photostabilizers are just one of the tools in the sun care formulator's toolbox, according to a presentation at the Florida Society of Cosmetic Chemists' (SCC) Sunscreen Symposium held in September 2007. Other tools of interest include: actives, solvents, emulsifiers, waterproofers, rheology modifiers and feel modifiers.
A few highlights of the Sunscreen Symposium called into question the industry's current beliefs about sun damage and protection. One expert suggested that UV protection is not about consumers getting UVA or UVB protection, but protection from overexposure to the entire spectrum. He added that there are multitudes of different systemic variables involved that can affect the body's reaction to UV.

Thank you Zach for bringing real experience and knowledge about hunters in the arena to the podcast.
Amanda, you're still wrong.
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Gearing for Karazhan, Fury/Arms pt 1 {WoW}
Jun 13th 2008 4:02PM Meh, warriors are accepted as DPS in 25 man raids and up. Part of that is the need for CC and aggro control in 5 mans (until you utterly outgear it). In Kara, there's a bit of that left over. It's hard to carry a DPS whose output is less than others that take less damage and offer more utility.
Warriors are so gear dependent as DPS that the best way to progress is as a tank until 25 mans (doesn't really start to take off until T5) and save up badges for the new gear.
WoW Insider Show, Episode 41: Arenas, healers, and Blink for Hunters {WoW}
Jun 10th 2008 5:43PM Agreed. It's like she barely pays attention to anyone else, suddenly starts talking overly fast and excited.
The best example was the last time she was on when her biggest contribution to the podcast was reciting some gibberish that was some inside joke thing with her friend as Mike was trying to wrap up.
Unimpressive. Also, the whole "hunters just need to L2Play in arena" is so uninformed. Experienced hunters know when to use those things but it doesn't matter against rogue or warrior. The cooldowns of our CC and escape ability (assuming you're BM, otherwise, you have your PVP trinket and that's it) make use nigh useless. I don't care she rolled a hunter and thinks that it's a lack of skill, she still didn't address hunter arena issues (and no, traps aren't enough).

(And no, making the meta work isn't a good reason to use green gems in his chest. There are better ways as he's shown.)
The fact is that sometimes pure crit has more of a payoff than agi gems. If you can maintain proper stat balance and still satisfy socket bonuses, you can get more out of your equipment. BoK is overrated. Gemming to maximize its benefit is a Kara mentality.
Now show us your imba hunter please.

I feel safe ignoring you now.
PS: The fact that you're endorsing green gems for a raiding hunter is even more laughable. Go back to Kara.

Palermo Viejo
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Located in the center of the Palermo Soho shopping district, this casually chic restaurant serves French-Mediterranean fusion fare along with handcrafted cocktails and local wines from the Mendoza Province. Sinatra and jazz standards play in the stylish dining room, which contains dark wood tables, low white couches, and glass vases filled with lilies. There's also a marble-topped bar and an adjacent outdoor patio. Dishes include grilled octopus with potato cream sauce, followed by Parmesan risotto with sautéed mushrooms and lamb cooked in Malbec. Between lunch and dinner, Cluny serves an afternoon menu of small plates, pastries, and tea.
Insider Tip:
After your meal, check out nearby specialty shops like Desiderata, a vintage-inspired clothing store, and Sabater Hnos, which sells homemade soaps in scents like green tea and cedar.
