Compare the Planets
Comparing the physical characteristics of the worlds in our solar system (and beyond)
The worlds of our solar system come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Red-eyed Jupiter, ringed Saturn, and frigid Uranus and Neptune are giant gassy globes containing nearly all of the matter in the solar system. These Jovian planets, or gas giants, are huge worlds of air, clouds, and fluid that may have no solid surfaces no matter how deep you go. Everything else in the solar system is just rock, ice, and dust. The largest rockballs are known as the terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, with our Moon usually considered part of the club, and now Vesta is applying for membership. Earth is the biggest of all the rocky worlds.
But the planets are not the only worlds of the solar system. All but two of the planets are orbited by moons, each of them a world unto itself. The largest moons are bigger than the smallest planets, and 16 or 17 would qualify as dwarf planets if they orbited the Sun. There are more than 100 Kuiper belt dwarf planets, but only one among the asteroids, Ceres.
Six solid worlds -- Venus, Earth, Mars, Titan, Triton, and Pluto -- have atmospheres dense enough to produce weather. Eris likely does, when it is near its perihelion. We have witnessed active geology on four worlds -- Earth, Io, Enceladus, and Triton -- and we suspect it on Venus, Europa, and Titan. Comparing the same processes across many worlds helps us to understand how each planet's unique composition and history influence its present state, and will help us predict what to expect on Earth in the future.
Pretty Pictures with Many Worlds
Two crescents: New moon, old Venus
A day-old Moon and a waning Venus crescent appeared very close to each other in the sunset sky on January 2, 2014 (left). Cutting out and comparing the two crescents to each other shows their similar illumination but dissimilar sizes (right). Venus, roughly four times the diameter of the Moon, was near inferior conjunction so about 50 million kilometers away (more than 100 times farther away than the Moon).

Some of the low, sandy ripples observed by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity in Meridiani Planum (left) bear a striking resemblance to low, sandy ripples seen in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve (right). The scales of these two images are about the same, with the average distance between ripples being 1 to 2 meters.

from AMG – Bitch Betta Have My Money Lyrics on Genius
"eat your Wheaties" is a figure of speech which implies that you must be thoroughly prepared before engaging in a certain event. This expression is drawn from the fact that Wheaties (the breakfast cereal) are high in carbohydrates, B vitamins, and fiber, which combine to provide the consumer with long lasting energy.
Therefore, AMG is warning his client that she must be prepared for a time consuming session of intercourse. He does not pause, he continues until he is finished.

Might buy again. This is comparable to other Primers out there. It does have a scent, kind of that flowery skincare cream scent you find in lancome products. So if you don't like scents, stay away. the primer itself does the job, especially under the HD Makeup. I would say it's better than average but not the HG in primers. It's lightweight, breathable and sinks in well. the one thing I was hoping it would do, was hide my pores a bit more. Needless to say, it failed in that regard. I think Benefit makes a better and cheaper primer for those of us with enlarged pore issues. I'll keep this around for better skin days.
Update: I'm returning this to Sephora. For the price, it's not worth it. This stuff dissipates off my face within a few hours and I look like I got nothing on at all. Very disappointing, but for the price, it has to go back.
I found my HG Primer! This Primer is Awesome!!
I've been using Too faced "primed and poreless" and Macs "Prep and Prime". Both Honestly Suck compared to this primer. My make up looks blended and makes it look like im wearing less make up.. Eventually when i can afford to, im going to try the rest of the line.
More reviews by colourfulapple
This product works better than Smashbox and Sephora's primers.
- Keeps makeup looking flawless and fresh all-day.
- Controls shine and minimizes appearance of pores.
- Does not cause breakouts or reactions to sometimes sensitive skin. My skin reacted badly to Smashbox's.
- With other primers, I find that my skin cannot breathe and is clogged up. But MUFE does not feel that way.
More reviews by CourtneyEuphoric
I like my primers to be slick and feel like the are kind of on top of my skin as a barrier. This is kind of like a thin runny moisturizer I feel like it absorbes into my skin. It smells good. And it doesn't do anything bad to my skin. And my makeup stays on pretty well but I think I will try something else when I run out.
More reviews by Cosmeticswhore
I have an oily t zone this product helps keep my foundation matte and last longer. Makes foundation application easier feels softer and goes on smoother. I will rebuy this.
I haven't used it all that much yet but I like it so far. The packaging is very handy for travelling and it smells really nice. It's very pricey though so I don't think I would but this product again because I like to try new stuff out.
I just try this and doesnt gave me any effect. It doesnt make the make up last longer. It doest make my face glowy. It is useless
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a colorless primer that has the consistency of a light lotion or serum. I use it under my NARS Sheer Glow to help the foundation go on smoothly and not adhere to dry patches. I would not recommend this primer for oily skin at all. I find it helps my foundation not settle into fine lines at the end of the day. I have already repurchased my second bottle. I use one pump for my entire face, and I don't let it dry for long. Apply foundation while it is still slightly damp for best results. My one bottle lasted nearly a year with daily usage.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Definitely my favorite primer. I love the way it feels like lotion. It melts into my skin and makes my face a nice, smooth canvas for my makeup. It's a little thin, but that means it spreads easily. It's also very light, so it doesn't make my face feel heavy. It helps my makeup stay on better, which is a real feat since I have super oily skin. It also helps prevent my makeup from getting wiped off when I accidentally touch my face. It doesn't mattify my skin, but I use other products for that. It does, however, interact well with the other products I use. This product looks kind of pricey, but you get quite a bit for the price. I was really surprised when I opened my Sephora package and saw this huge tube.
More reviews by mistylovesnikras
So, here is the trouble with this primer. It smells wonderful, the packaging is attractive and that is where it ends for me. This primer does nothing for me that or it does so very little I have no chance in hell of figuring out what that is. I wear MMU and have combination skin in the winter. When I wear this under MMU or liquid foundation my dry patches are all exposed. Also, I do have larger pores on my nose and cheek area which are not at all minimized. For 32 bucks I expected better! This is one of those primers that adds to the public opinion that a primer is useless and does nothing.

($60) Saturated ruby. Powerful scents of dark berry preserves, incense and smoky herbs. Weighty blackberry and blueberry flavors are enlivened by juicy acidity and pick up a brighter raspberry quality with air. Very sweet and seamless wine with excellent back-end power and repeating notes of blue fruits and herbs. This is delicious right now.

This little guy should grow up to be a politician. He doesn't even listen to his mother.
Wow he called his mom by name he argues back I don't see what's so cute about this video.
I am exhausted !! He will make a great lawyer !! He is very very smart and I like his attitude !!
I do NOT think it's in any way cute. It's rude, and disrespectful and needs to have been stopped long before this moment.
I'm not going to lie... it did make me laugh and I did share but NO WAY IN H... would we allow our kids to show such disrespect. I hope she found the nastiest tasting soap and used it!
cute today but can you imagine what is going to happen in a few years if this continues?
While this is kinda cute at 3-I'm not sure you want to set the precident of allowing your child to show disrespect by calling his mother by her first name. Cute at 3-not so much at 13!
Not cute, so very disrespectful of the mother. And Stephanie Rabon is correct, Mom let it go on to video it.
This kind of thinking is part of the problem not part of the solution, she is Mom, and he needs to address her as such, and be taught to respect her and what she says. If she does not nip this now, she will have tremendous heart ache in the future.
This is not cute, can you imagine him at 5, 6, 7, 8, on and on, My gosh if she does not nip this in the bud now, God help her for the heartbreak she will go through.
You people are crazy! She clearly let the 'argument' go so she could film it. It's freakin hilarious and that kid is so cute! I hope my kids will be able to stand up for themselves and think critically. This video is awesome!
This is not funny. So much disrespect. No matter the eye color this child needs a reality check. Mom needs a whole lot more action.
Oh, but if it was a little blonde hair blue eyed kid, it would be so adorable, right.
Yikes. I feel sorry for his elementary teachers in the next couple of years...
I have ppl all over the world on my fb lol and its gone worldwide and not because of me lol

Organizers of Free and Equal Debates are Just as Exclusionary
In allowing only four minor-party candidates to share the stage, the organizers of tonight's Free & Equal debate are being as exclusionary as the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was in limiting the three nationally-televised debates to President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney. It's shameful, especially since two of tonight's participants — the Constitution Party's Virgil Goode and Rocky Anderson of the fledgling Justice Party — aren't on the ballot in enough states to theoretically win on November 6th. On the other hand, I represent a party with a much longer history than any of tonight's participants. Unlike former Congressman Goode and ex-Salt Lake City Mayor Anderson, I am on the ballot in the most populous state in the country and, in addition to vote-rich Florida and Colorado, will have write-in status in enough states to "mathematically" Occupy the White House on November 6th. … [Read more...]
My Speech at Oaksterdam
Roseanne's appearance was threefold: She pushed for total legalization of the marijuana plant as well as donations and voters for her newly adopted political party (a push to be a Green Party candidate didn't go so well). "Marijuana should be totally legal," she said. "We live in a free country, so it should be legal to smoke marijuana and drink." Barr is running on a ticket with antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan, who Bay Area voters may remember from her 2008 bid to unseat then-House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Her appearance in Oakland was initially scheduled to be a fundraiser at a private home, but when Oaksterdam officials found out she'd be in town, they invited her to the downtown campus of the marijuana school, one of the federal goverment's victims in the recent crackdown on state-legal weed.

Contra Costa Times Sept 27 2012
In Oakland visit, presidential candidate Roseanne Barr says marijuana should be 'totally legal' By Kristin J. Bender and Josh Richman Bay Area News Group San Jose Mercury News Posted: ContraCostaTimes.com OAKLAND -- Peace and Freedom Party presidential nominee Roseanne Barr came to Oaksterdam on Thursday evening to distance herself from President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney and their stance against marijuana. The comedienne and former television star held her town-hall meeting, "The Political Future of Medical Marijuana," in front a standing-room-only crowd of about 200 at Oaksterdam University. Barr said legalizing marijuana is the "way to end the drug wars and stop the monopoly of the subsidized prison systems." Barr, along with vice presidential running mate and anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, are running a symbolic campaign in that the pair are not on the ballot in enough states to win. The appearance on Thursday was not only a push for money but a push for voters. Changes to election law make it so the party must nearly double its registration by the end of 2014 to stay on the ballot. "Thank you for breaking through your mind control programming (and coming to the town-hall meeting) and having some free thought," she told the crowd. "Marijuana really does help you break through that and remember what is important." The crowd reacted with thunderous applause and chants of "Rosie, Rosie, Rosie."

Summary: The first historical interpretation of the congressional response to the entire Cold War. Using a wide variety of sources, including several manuscript collections opened specifically for this study, the book challenges the popular and scholarly image of a weak Cold War Congress, in which the unbalanced relationship between the legislative and executive branches culminated in the escalation of the U.S. commitment in Vietnam, which in turn paved the way for a congress ...show moreional resurgence best symbolized by the passage of the War Powers Act in 1973. Instead, understanding the congressional response to the Cold War requires a more flexible conception of the congressional role in foreign policy, focused on three facets of legislative power: the use of spending measures; the internal workings of a Congress increasingly dominated by subcommittees; and the ability of individual legislators to affect foreign affairs by changing the way that policymakers and the public considered international questions.

OK, maybe not the 13th. That just happens to be my favorite number. Anyhoo, it is time boys and girls for our annual Super Bowl "office" pool:
Once all 100 squares have been filled, I will use this random generator to assign a unique number between 0 and 9 to each column and each row (where you currently see the '?' marks). These numbers will represent the last digit of the score of the game on Feb. 3rd. For example, let's say that you have decided to pick squares 13 & 77 and after assigning random numbers the grid ends up looking something like this. So let's say that the half-time score ends up being:
In this example, since square #13 bears the winning combination of 7 & 1, then you win!!! Alternately, you'd win if the final score turns out to be:
Can you tell I've had enough of the Patriots?!?! Sorry MaryO! :-) PRIZES
Also, like last year, there's a bonus round of play. When you pick your 2 squares, also let me know your prediction for THE SUM OF THE FINAL SCORE. In other words, if you think that the final score is going to be 28-21, you would pick 49. Remember, you cannot pick the same grid squares as somebody else, but you CAN pick the same sum score. Person(s) with the correct sum will share a $48 Prize Pot. Why $48, you ask? Simple...this amount makes division among up to 4 winners much easier for me. So even if your squares land less than ideal score numbers, you can still have a shot at winning the bonus prize with your sum score prediction! The winners can choose from the following prizes:
A NOTE ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY: I respect your reserved® rights to privacy. If the winners opt for a gift certificate, I will need a private email with only a first and last name and an email address to complete the transaction. If you feel more comfortable, this information will be for your 3rd cousin 4 times removed. I really don't care who it is as long as you feel confident you can get your gift from that individual. I will update the grid every evening. As I mentioned earlier, be sure to refresh your browser to see the latest update. If you inadvertently pick a square that's already occupied by someone else, you will be assigned the closest available square. On Wednesday (Jan. 23rd) I will open the pool to members of another forum. I'm guessing that the grid will fill up quickly once the other forum has been invited so be sure to pick out your numbers soon. So w/o any futher ado, jump in the pool by filling in the following 3 blanks: I want square: ___ & ___

Dang! The team that should be in the Super Bowl is obviously missing. Be that as it may, number 23 and 82 for me, Sir. A total score of 37. For C3D the numbers 13 and 57, Sir. A total score of 42. Sir, thank you for doing this again in spite of the pain, Sir. :-) Mikey |
"The team that should be in the Super Bowl is obviously missing." I couldn't agree more, Mikey. But I'll be ok, thanks. LOL You ROCK, Fi guy! Thanks for being such a good sport! I would like squares 39 & 86. Brenda |
Sir, the RCG will have 21 and 35 please, Yes Sir! Sir! We are delighted to join our old allies in this adventure. |
I'll take 37 and 73 with a toal score of 23!! Thanks Sir Fi! |
4 & 92 please :) NE 45 NY 17 = Sum total 62 With our sub zero temps & -25 degree wind chills there wasn't a cold person at Lambeau. The heat and electricity generatred by the fans and our hopes for a Super Bowl kept everyone warm. There is no other experience on earth like a championship game in the frigid cold with fans who are literally the best and most dedicated in the world. But Monday morning the heat is gone and the cold realization is we will not be in Arizona to end that perfect NE season. And we do not want to hear "there is always next year" :) |
Oh good - game time again! 1 and 29 and final score of 52. Thank you. Toots |

22 and 55 with a total score of 44. Go Giants!!! |
12 and 51 for me please! With a total of 41. Thanks Semper, this always makes the game a little more interesting for me. |
Thank you Mister Semper! From the bottom of my fair-weather-Pats-fan heart. We're enjoying this season immensely. And, if the Pats don't win in Arizona, well, they've got all those records, so it's OK either way with me. I was hoping for the GB Packers myself... The numbers, unfortunately jeanner got # 51, so I have to change my second number. So, can I please have #15 and #4, and a total score of, lemme guess, there will be lots of fieldgoals, 36. The winner will have 20 and the loser will have 16. Whichever way it goes... :) Mary |
"thank you for doing this again in spite of the pain" Well, there's always next yea...errrr... NEVER MIND! Grid has been updated. ********************************************************* |
I'll take 47 and 78 please! Total score 47. Thanks Semper |

"Sir? Have you noted that the replies to the thread read LMAO! Very prophetic, no?! MaryO, forgot to mention last night that square #4 was already picked so I gave you the closest available square (#3) instead. Didn't give you square #5 since your other pick falls in that same column. Having your #s spread out seems like a safer bet. If you want it changed to another square of your choice, let me know. The grid for the Super Toilet Bowl has been updated! ********************************************************* |
It's all good Semper. Since we have at least one birthday in almost every month, they're all special numbers to me! Also, since I now have a mental image of a toilet brush going with the Super Bowl, it's just as well that I don't have the numbers of my own birthday..... :) Mary |

I once won tickets to Lambeau and the Packers play at a company Christmas party. Wanna guess who didn't get to see the game? My numbers are 11 and 33 with a final of 13. Sandy |
"Wanna guess who didn't get to see the game? " Don't tell me of all the times you've been sleepless, you fell asleep at a Packers game! Final SUM score of 13?!?!?!?!?!?! 8-) Grid has been updated. ********************************************************* |
- Posted by sleeplessinftwayne z4-5 IND (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 08 at 5:39
No sleep for me then. By the time I was half way back to the table I had several offers that were hard to refuse but I turned them over to DH as a Christmas present and sent him and youngest son off to do some bonding. I stayed home and sipped wine in front of the fireplace. I even built a fire in it. Sandy |
halloooooooooooo 5 & 58....final score of 26 thanks for the heads up mary!!!! :) |
ademink, how many guesses do I get for trying to figure out which charity you would want the $$ to go to should you win?!?!?! |
I told my mom about this...If you don't get takers for the last few numbers she thinks 40 and 83 are the winners. 27 final score. I understand if you don't take non-forum folks :) If you do, put it down for MyMom - she's the best! My folks have hosted a Superbowl party for about 40 people for the past 23 years. This year their rural TV company went belly up so they won't get it at home. I won't get it either....We're scrambling to get it together a the moment! |
Done deal Sheepco! :-) I would like to make a motion that *IF* the last 4 remaining slots aren't taken by Friday evening, we ought to give them out to some pond forum regulars who have been MIA/AWOL lately.... Z-Chick, FTM, PondmaninFL, Poo3, or...??? The key here would be to pick folks which someone here has stayed in contact with via email or otherwise.... that way if they win, we can get their prize to them. |
Now I'm rooting for Yo Mama! I'll never win with this attitude. LOL I can't imagine not getting the game, Sarah! Will the party end up being at some sports bar or something, then? I agree, Fi guy! I haven't kept in contact with any of those listed, but I'm sure someone has. Brenda |
Alright! The grid is complete and the numbers have been assigned. I used the random generator in the link above to come up with these numbers for the dang Patriots and these for the Giant underdogs. You can print a higher-resolution (bigger) version of the grid by clicking on this link and the right clicking on the image and choosing "print picture..." or "print..." (from most browsers). Here's everyone's predictions for the sum of the final score: Herr Horton, while tallying the scores for the chart above I realized that you forgot to make a prediction. So what will it be oh Nostreduckmoose of the Pond Forum?! Please don't pick 52 because there isn't any more room left in that slot! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Go underdogs! |
Good luck all and remember if you host a party, go to a party, or out to a bar, remember to drink sensibly and/or have a designated sober driver! Superbowl Sunday is second on the list for fatalities on the roads. Friends don't let friends drive drunk!! Have fun and I hope I win! Toots |
We here at the RCG are very sorry about that ommission. Without buggering up your nice green and yellow thingmagigger can we have 57 [that's 57]. Thank you and may the best team skate the fastest! Mogali. Adg, Sports Director, etc, RCG. |
Woohoo!!! My grid numbers are a tad worrisome for the final result, but stranger things have happened...after all, this is an office poo, you know. LOL Dittos on what CT said! I will be a good sport and drink very unsensibly in the comfort of my home. :D Go GYANTS! Brandy |

Hey y'uns! Sorry to miss out on the fun, but I do have the game on the telly right now. However, I can't even partake of the beverages of choice because I'm having surgery in the morning. Arrgh!! GO GIANTS. If the Giants win, you're all invited to Clancy's Bar for a cold one next weekend. |
Brandy wrote: "Now I'm rooting for Yo Mama!" Hey it worked!! Congrats to Sheepco's mama. She's the best... or so I've been told! :-) The squares with the yellow outline had the correct score combination at some point during the game. The solid yellow squares are our winners. Amazingly enough, nobody has been eliminated from the sum score card.... everyone is, at least mathematically, still in it. Good luck in the second half. More importantly, good luck tomorrow Z-Chick. |
Great last minute upset. Overall the game was a bit slow. Brady was just tossing them away (or so it seemed). My favorite commercial was 'Silence the Stain'! Congrats to the winners! |

I liked the baby buying stock. The spit up was classic. |
Coach Bellychunk shows his true colors by deserting his men before the game was officially over. Nice! No, no, no! The best commercial was the one with Roethlisberger in the Steelers locker room. Not that I'm partial or anything. ;-) Sheepco, please email me and give me the specifics on which prize does Yo Mama want. Thanks. There were no winners in the Sum Score contest so the $$ will be donated to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Thanks everyone for playing along. We will hopefully play again next year for the 13th annual Super Bowl office poo. |

Sir Distemper, Well done once again Sir. We at the RCG enjoyed watching the game Sir! The commercials had us quacking up! But all that talk about "It's their down," or "It's the other teams down", had us plucking worried, so to speak! Congratulations to "Yo Mamma". All at the RCG. |
LOL!!!! @ cello music! Dang, yer a quick'un, Major RCG! CONGRATS to Yo Mama and the Giants!!! What a GREAT upset at the last minute!! With 2:something left, I thought the Yorkies were done for. What a fun ending! My favorite commercial was a toss up between Tide's Silence the Stain and Toyota's Badger....ok, and Bridgestone's Screaming Richard Simmons. LOL But Hank the Clydesdale ("Rocky") made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Cars.com's Ring of Fire, etc., commercials were way up there, along with FedEx's Pigeons, Doritos's Kicka$$ Mouse (YIKES! LOL), and (Planter's?) Unibrow Lady. Ok, Charles Barkley's big mouth got a chuckle, too. :D Z-Chick, if you're rarin' to go next Sat. after having surgery today, then showing up at Clancy's is the least we can do! :D Hope you're feeling better soon!!! Bad toothache with an infected loose tooth here. WHAAAA! The dentist scares me a LOT, so wish me luck today....*whimper* Fi guy, thanks SO MUCH for doing this every year!!!! Brenda |
As usual a GREAT job, Semper. Thanks for you're SUPER dedication to doing this for the last 13 years..... (...from someone who watched in the cold Wisconsin winter while some lucky, happy NY fan sat in what coulda shoulda been my seat!!!!) For a while there I thought Sleepless might have been right on with "13" Even though I love Eli an was happy to see the victory I can't help but wonder if the game would have been a tad bit more interesting for the first three quarters had Brett and the boys been there :) Congratulations to Yo Momma |
Congrats to Sarah's mom! And, to, eh, (grrrmph) (clearing my throat) the, eh, Giants. Don't mention this to DH, but I really think the best team won. Honestly. Brady's linemen couldn't keep the Giants from getting to him. For crying out loud. :) Mary * So, when do the Red Sox start training?* |
Brenda, I'm pretty sure it was your extra cheers that pulled it out for Mom :0) Sheesh, couldn't of rooted for me huh? I didn't get to see the game, but of course checked out some of the commercials online. (link below if you haven't found one yet) I'm with Zchick, E-trade Baby was really good. I gotta go back and check out Tide's Stain and a few others I musta missed. Better luck to all next year (we won't let Mom play)! |

Dagnabit!! One of these days I will remember to turn on the TV. I guess I'm not so terribly sorry to miss the game but I really do miss seeing the commercials. Thanks for the link, Sheepco. When I get tired of throwing things at the primary reports I'll take a peek. Semper, no more holes in the walls, I hope? ;-)Sandy |

This plays to attempts by Democrats and the Obama White House to bolster public support for government aid for poorer Americans, critics say, which is why Republicans, if they gain control of Congress next year, would likely work to dismantle the new poverty rate measurement by defunding it.
Critics add that that the new measures make it impossible to shrink poverty rates without ensuring that poor people's wages rise faster than middle-class wages.
"This [new count] is a deliberate deception, a Trojan horse to smuggle the goal of income leveling in under the slogan of poverty," says Robert Rector, a poverty expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation. "The reason they call it poverty instead of income inequality is that there's not a lot of political demand for income equalization in the United States."
A large part of the increase in poverty comes from rising medical costs, the Census Bureau says, which affected the poverty rate jump among older Americans – from 9 percent under the old formula to nearly 16 percent under the new one.
The new figures, tied now more directly to cost of living, also gave insights into the geographical configuration of poverty, showing that the suburbs, the Northeast, and the West are more likely include poor people than under the old system.
But the overall rise in poverty under the new calculations clashes with other analyses of government figures. In fact, 39 states report no changes in the poverty rate even through the depths of the recent recession. An alternate set of data quoted by The New York Times last week showed that the number of poor people didn't grow by 9.7 million people since 2006, as the Census Bureau pointed out in September, but by 4.6 million people.
Moreover, critics say, the US definition of poverty – even before the change – incorporated many people who might not fit the typical image of living in poverty.
Government data not highlighted in the new study show that 60 percent of poor Americans have cable TV, 30 percent have wide screen or plasma TVs, and a majority live in a well-kept house with more square footage than the dwelling space for a middle-class English family.

Kids Benefit From Doctors' Antismoking Counseling: ExpertsHealth DayAugust 26, 2013
Whether by phone, one-on-one or in groups, primary-care doctors need to provide education and counseling to help prevent children and teens from smoking, according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Research shows that behavioral counseling can reduce the risk that children and teens will start smoking. Doctors can provide counseling to youths in person or over the phone, and individually or in family or group sessions, according to the task force, which is a government panel of experts.

Reloaded: Django video workshop with Douglas Napoleone
In his screencast, Douglas Napoleone programs a simple music database by using the Python Django framework. In its now available second version, Napoleone demonstrates how it works in the roughly two hours of the video.
In the first version of the workshop, Napoleone successfully set up the Django infrastructure to import the data model and establish the basic search and input functions. The next step was to make the application workable for users. In the second version, the developer shows in six parts how he designed the web interface via Python methods and finally enhanced it with HTML and CSS.

Windows on Washington would like to highlight a specialty window for the project of the week - Bow Windows.
A Bow window is a window unit made of four to six windows which form an arc shaped window wall. They typically have fixed casement windows in the center with operational casement windows at each end. When installing replacement windows, a bow window may be used to replace an existing bow window or standard windows. However, because the bow window is so large and heavy, it may be required to be structurally tied to the home. While analyzing the window structure of your home, do not forget that the ceiling and floor area may need additional insulation to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
For the project of the week, our clients wanted to improve the energy efficiency of their home, provide more functionality with their windows and increase curb appeal. This beautiful bow unit, expertly installed by the WoW Team, successfully met each of their goals.
These close ups show a major difference! The old bow window, pictured left, was a single paned unit with only 2 small square operational windows. The new WoW bow window, pictured right, is comprised of 5 highly efficient Okna 500 casement windows with fully operational end units.
These before and after shots really show off the impact of the replacement bow window in terms of curb appeal. The home looks updated, fresh and more modern. What a difference!
Windows on Washington is dedicated to providing solutions to your toughest home improvement challenges, at a fair and honest price. Our experts are skilled in windows, doors, siding, roofing and insulation, so we take a comprehensive approach to our improving the comfort, appearance, and energy efficiency of your home.

Need a sit at the bar get a good pint and a burger place. in the next 2 hours. i'm hungry and thirsty
Across the street, or at least very near, from the CN tower is an Irish Bar - decent beer - good food (had fish and chip) Overdraught Irish Pub also, near the Hockey Hall of Fame is Fionn Mac Cool's (haven't been there)... cool place to walk around - there is a great market to walk around. (St. Lawrence Market, I think)
Primary: always something... Brewed: Scottish Ale 80 - Ode to Arthur Stout - Benrath Alt - Araucania Huaso Wit - Two Hearted Ale - Dark Star Porter - Yoopers Dead Guy Ale - Cassandra the Dark, Russian Imp. Stout - Yooper's Fat Tire - Scott-A-Tron IPA - Orange Kolsch - I69PA - Rye Opener - Lick Me I am an Irish Stout - Fat Thaddeus the Third Triple - Holy ESB of Antioch*Member of PALE (Plainfield Ale and Lager Enthusiasts)O'Leathlobhair Brewery
Beer Bistro, and it isn't even close. One of the best beer bars in N. America and easily the best in Canada.
is that a "sit at the bar and eat" type of place?
Definitely a sit at the bar and eat sort of place!
It's maybe a bit late for this but check out Volo, Victory Café, The Rhino, Ceili Cottage, C'est What... so many and they all have a great cask ale.
I second beer bistro. Bartenders knew their stuff when I was in. "I like Lagunitas IPA but not a big fan of Doghead. What'cha got?" Came back with a beer that knocked my socks off. Of course I had too many of them to remember what it was! Every other question I had about beer (kinda testing him) was answered, and a little more icing was put on the top. Great place to ahve a beer. B
i went to c'est what? great place, awesome bartender. GREAT casks. only issue would be not enough variety. most beers were either pale lagers, pale ales, or IPA.

Is anyone here carrying this combo? I just haven't found anything that really seems right.
This is a discussion on 3" GP100 IWB Holster? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Is anyone here carrying this combo? I just haven't found anything that really seems right....
Is anyone here carrying this combo? I just haven't found anything that really seems right.
Not to hijack your thread, but I do have a question on this combo.
I've considered it. In fact I'm looking really hard at doing this combo for my EDC. Right now I'm packing a 4" N-Frame as my EDC.
The reason I'm considering it is, I have to send my N-Frame off to be refinished. What holsters have you used for this? I'm tossing the idea of a 4" or a 3" gun and would love to know the advantages/disadvantages of each. I have always carried a 4"er.
Take care and stay safe.
I've got a Crossbreed Supertuck on the way for my wife's 3" SP101 .357, which I know is thinner with smaller grips than the GP, but is still fairly hefty. I'll let you know how it works out once I get it.
Mine: Glock 36............Wife's: Ruger SP101 3"
-------Ruger SR9....................Ruger SR9c
-------S&W SW99 .45.............Charter Arms Undercover
Hidden Defense - Personal gun & holster designs/reviews.
If you are looking for a good holster, and are willing to wait, take a look at Milt Sparks and Matt Del Fatti. Kramer is another good holster, that I don't see in the forums much.
I have a Del Fatti OWB and I'm waiting on my IWB from him. My IWB Milt Sparks Summer Special II will be here around Christmas time. Back when I packed a 1911 I had a Spark's Summer Special.
The reason I was considering the 3" GP100 was because it's a fixed sight handgun. I like fixed sights on all defensive handguns I carry. I have worn out too many jacket linings with adjustable sights. I talked to Marc Morganti, I hope I got his name right, at Gemini Customs and I'm going to do a custom GP100. It's going to be my wife's Christmas Present to me. Can you tell I'm happy about Christmas this year?
I carry a 4" GP in a Hoffner's Ultrux Mirage. I't designed to carry the cylinder above the belt line to avoid adding more bulk. It's very comfortable and tucks the big revolver right into my side and out of the way. I'm posting a pic from their website to show how the basic set-up works with large framed revolvers.

It just doesn't get any better than that! Unless you add the wonderful squash, peppers, taters and cucumbers too! Heck, throw in some onions, garlic and even some broccoli! Of course you can't forget the wonderful blackberries, raspberries and rhubarb!
The Bluegrass Farmers' Market is full of the Kentucky summer bounty!
And don't let anyone kid you, we grow it all ourselves! No reselling allowed at our market so you know you're getting nothing but homegrown goodness from our farmers. Remember that we know what we grow and it isn't your average grocery store varieties. Look for heirloom tomatoes such as German Stripey. Or fabulous squash such as Magda, Cousa or Patty Pan. Peppers...hot and mild! Potatoes, round, long, red, white and even fingerling! Of course, everyone is talking corn right now and we've got a crowd favorite, Silver Queen along with Ambrosia and bi-color! What about some wonderful green beans...Romas, Tenderettes, Pole, Kentucky Wonders and a few heirloom varieties too!
Yup, summer crops are in full swing at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market!
But, that's not all that you'll find. We have farm fresh eggs, Amish cheese, ASH Free beef, honey, herb seasoning, jams, jellies and fruit butters, the very best baked goods and even homemade soaps! Now, granted, our farmers didn't "grow" these but they darn sure either raised or made them!
Who could forget the beautiful cut flowers and gorgeous baskets loaded with colorful flowers! Or maybe even a fragrant herb plant...we've got those too!
As you can tell, the members of the Bluegrass Farmers' Market take great pride in what they do. That's why one of the stipulations to becoming a member is that each individual farmer is certified Kentucky Proud! We don't just register the whole market...we make sure each of our farmers really grow or produce what they take pride in offering to the market!
We are Lexington's only 100% homegrown or produced farmers market!!!
Take the short drive out Richmond Rd. to the beautiful tree lined parking lot of Pedal the Planet and Fast Signs, next to the Glenn Auto Mall each Tuesday or Saturday. We'll be bringing our farms best and wearing smiles!
Tuesday 3 until 6:30
Saturday 9 until 2
And, don't forget our Thursday market at the Fayette County Health Department on Newtown Pike from 4 until 6:30!
We thank you for supporting our farms and families.

I love photography, and this picture just takes the biscuit!
From the hand of Walt Disney himself
Check out these never before seen sketches from the hand of Walt Disney himself. Classic Mickey Mouse animation is simply one of my favourite things to watch, conveying a story, emotion or an idea in such simple drawings, for me really highlights to skill of this art, and art I have the utmost respect for.
Industrial Light and Magic - Path to the Death Star
As readers of our blog will know, we grab any Star Wars news by the horns, grind it into a couple hundred words, and blog the Sith out of it.
This occasion is no different, and while just last month, Star Wars fans everywhere were petitioning to get a death star built and launched into space, Industrial Light and Magic (VFX Brainchild of Star Wars creator George Lucas) were busy putting together a timeline of their journey, creating the Death Star for it's first appearance in 'Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope'.
It shows the milestones of an iconic studio as well as the creation of one of the most iconic images in cinematic history.
Lee's App Of The Week: Jurassic Park Builder
Normally I come bearing apps of technical brilliance, photographic immensity and all-round-smarty-pants-show-off material. This week however, I bring you JURASSIC PARK BUILDER. That's right people, you heard me right the first time, JURASSIC PARK BUILDER. Where all of your T-Rex and Jeff Goldblum dreams can come true.
Science fiction concept soon to become reality!
Ever wanted to control things with your mind? Get a secret message over to your pals in a public place? If so, then the future is going to be very exciting for you.
The power of 3D in your pocket!
Lovers of 3D will be over the moon to discover that they can now have the power of 3D in their pocket at all times, as the 3Doodler allows the owner to take their artistic imagination off of the page!
Googly Eyes
Contrary to the title of this blog post, we're not writing about these googly eyes, no, this post is about the busy week we've had technologically. HTC unveiled their latest flagship smartphone here in London, the HTC One (not to be confused with the One X, One X+, One S, One V...). Sony announced the Playstation 4, boasting some serious specs as expected, although we don't actually know what it looks like yet.
Framestore Recreate 1865 America for Lincoln
Lincoln is very much a hit with the award bodies this year. Having only just recently hit the cinemas, the film has already scooped up a Golden Globe and a BAFTA as well as being nominated for 12 Oscars. And although this is all very lovely, we're more interested in the stunning results achieved by Framestore for this epic biopic. Providing the backdrop of 1865 America, a country ripped in two by civil war, Framestore worked alongside the filmmakers to make a historically accurate recreation that was both invisible and believable. And having already proved their expertise on Spielberg's previous project War Horse, Framestore have obviously earned the trust and respect of Steven and his team.
We're going through ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...
If you're a regular through our doors then you might have noticed a few changes. Here at Escape HQ we've been busy building, painting, schlepping, and revamping our office area, studios and break out space for a new and rather fresh look. There's still quite a few bits and bobs to do but here's a look at what we were then and what we are now...
A woman's touch...
The role of Visual Effects Supervisor is hugely important on set as well as during the whole post production process. This person works with both the Director and Clients to convert artistic concepts to stunning visual imagery.
Pixar artists grab funding by the horns
These days, it is commonplace for new projects to be funded by creative idea fuelling website – 'kickstarter'. This is not your only option of funding if you're a legendary artist from Pixar though.
Paying homage to a VFX legend
The legend that created the lab process of travelling mattes, (that's blue/green screens to the rest of us) sadly passed away last week, at the grand age of 96.
An Insight to Industrial Light and Magic
Industrial Light and Magic was created back in 1975 by the legend that is George Lucas, and has kept going ever since, racking up work on over 300 movies to date.
Lee's App of the week: The Walking Dead: Assault
I officially love The Walking Dead but hate the long breaks in between series (can I get an Amen to it's return this month!) so thankfully Skybound - the same company that publishes TWD comics - has produced a top-notch game app to see us through those tough times and give us our zombie slaughtering fixes.
In the beginning there was 'Display'
pho·to·shop, transitive verb, often capitalized \ˈfō-(ˌ)tō-ˌshäp\
to alter (a digital image) with Photoshop software or other image-editing software especially in a way that distorts reality (as for deliberately deceptive purposes)
- Merriam-Webster online dictionary, 2012
From MPC to Cinesite, Fuel VFX to Weta Digital and everything in between! Escapee Leo Neelands.
Ska loving escapee Leo Neelands made a career change but 7 years ago, when upon the word of a trusty friend who recognised the potential of his artistic skills, he made his way down to London with nothing but a Wacom tablet and pen in his bindle and a bucket load of raw talent in his brain.
Hoth in your front room.
This rather charismatic chap called Barry has made his very own diorama model of the battle sequence on ice planet Hoth, from the Empire Strikes Back.
Game of Thrones fans, series 3 is on the horizon!
I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones and LOVE the VFX work the guys at Pixomondo have done on the series, especially the set extensions, and it gave me a real thrill to read that series 3 is on it's way! The series 3 release date being announced at the 31st of March 2013.

A newspaper editor was arrested during a demonstration in the Seychelles capital, Victoria, against the state's monopoly hold on radio and TV broadcasting. Roger Mancienne, editor of the weekly Regar, was detained when anti-riot police broke up the demo by several hundred people. The paper's publisher, Jean-François Ferrari, was injured. They were protesting because the opposition political party is denied access to radio and TV, and is also banned from setting up its own broadcasting stations. (Via Reporters Without Borders)

The Salem State University police department is committed to the goals of providing a safe, efficient and courteous escort service. Therefore, certain restrictions must be placed on this service. The escort service is not designed to:
*Provide transportation to/from places of employment, restaurants, taverns, airports, mass-transit, etc.
*Provide transportation for large groups or persons intoxicated or otherwise exhibiting obnoxious behavior.
If the Salem State University Police are unable to provide an escort for any reason, a telephone will be made available to you to arrange for alternative transportation, such as a taxi.
