Point commissions [Closed]HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS ARE FAST, IT WASN'T EVEN THREE MINUTES>One commission per person/slot, please :3>If you miss this, don't worry! I'll be opening Paypal commissions soon after this. They'll be a bit pricier but I'll keep them open for longer. >If you reserve a slot, please have reference ready within two weeks or I will have to give your slot to somebody else!I will not draw explicit or really weird fetish stuff-- I'm not your personal fap-material artist.However, I will do practically anything else, as long as it fits under any of the following categories. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I'm open to negotiation.Please note that "additional character" includes multiple copies of the same character.

URGENT- I need your help!!I found out that my school denied part of my financial aid, and that I owed them $2000 for the fall semester. I've tried everything, every trick in the book to get them to lower it, and I got them totake it down to $1500, but they say that I need to come up with that before April, so I am reopening my cash commissions and hopefully you guys will help me out. Every commission and/or donationwould be extremely appreciated! I don't dare hope to raise that much in such a short time but I would much rather give them something than nothing. I feel extremely humbled by having to resort to this,and as a show of my gratitude, every commission from here on will receive one free animated sticker in the character of their choice.Thank you so much for those of you who have already commissioned me! You have a special, special place in my heart, and I will remember you when you are in need of help as well.Please note me for your art status as well.If you cannot

Keep in mind this will be my first time openly allowing commissions that involve real, actual money so I'll probably iron this journal out later down the line.Things I will draw Pixel art is a thing that a lot of people seem to want from me, so it would only be logical if I made these open for commission.

Tektronix Communications Puts Customer At The Heart Of New Online Experience
PLANO, Texas,
Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Tektronix Communications, the global leader in customer experience, assurance and test solutions for the telecoms industry, today announced the launch of its new, customer-focused web site and information hub, now live at
Tektronix Communications' goal for the new site was to put the potential telecoms stakeholders and its customers at the heart of a rich, multi-media experience which showcases the real-life solutions the company offers.
However, the site goes a step further, using video features and multimedia case studies, harnessing its expertise to provide valuable industry insight and unique perspectives from many of the company's key people.
Social engagement tools are also included to help the company listen, learn and engage with the Tektronix Communications' customer community, with back-end integration into its customer management software, to complete the customer experience circle.
The company engaged the services of iQ Content as partners to help develop the site. Their brief was to understand the wants and needs of the Tektronix Communications' customer, create a hub for industry insight and vision and engage the visitor in an easy-to-navigate, rewarding online experience. Expanding on the key drivers for the site, Laurence Alexander, Vice President of Marketing for Tektronix Communications, explained: "Our end-to-end positioning in the telecoms eco-system means we are uniquely placed to offer overarching industry insight and vision in our space. We wanted the site to harness this positioning and take advantage of the rich and valuable information we have to offer all players and stakeholders in and around our sector."

"It is somewhat rare to find a business-to-business website in our industry that makes such efforts to engage with its existing and potential customers in a meaningful, compelling and creative way. We are proud of the results we and iQ Content have delivered, and hope the site becomes as much a destination and rich source of visionary information and insight for our industry colleagues, as it is a window for our products and services."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Openly LGBT Olympians: Does it Matter?
July 25, 2012 by HRC staff
US Women's Soccer Player Megan Rapinoe (Wikimedia Commons)
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
Earlier this week we profiled a few of the openly LGBT athletes competing in this year's Olympic games, including three Americans.
Doubles tennis player Lisa Raymond, WNBA champion Seimone Augustus and women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe will all take to the field and courts in the upcoming weeks, with LGBT Americans looking on with particular pride to see high-profile, top-ranked athletes competing so openly and courageously on the world stage.
While these LGBT athletes are teammates and competitors first and foremost, they are also highly visible role models who send a powerful message to LGBT youth and all who watch the games that LGBT people can compete and inspire just like anyone else.
What do you think? We want to hear why (and if) it matters to you that these Olympians are openly LGBT. Sound off below.

My Porter ended at 1.030 I was shooting for 1.018. I let it ferment for four weeks. My problem was I mashed to high, I was trying to hit 156 but when I checked my first runnings it was about 162. I racked it to a keg last night to start carbing. This morning I was thinking about adding water to thin it out a bit. Has anyone done this before?
Don't, you're just going to water down your beer, not remove the excess sweetness from the higher gravity.
So you think I should just leave it and let it be thick and sweet?

Chief Secretary to the Treasury
We the undersigned demand that David Laws, the current Chief Secretary to the Treasury, be removed from office immediately and barred from holding Public Office at any level. We cannot and should not accept a person who by manipulation of Parliamentary rules attemped to cheat the British public financially and is therefore most unsuitable for the post which he now holds.

5 years ago Comments: His continued position as Chief Secretary to the Treasury is untenable - if he's allowed to stay in office it sends a message that the Government aren't serious at all about cleaning up politics and were just saying whatever to desperately get elected. What a fantastic, scandalous start to what I expect will be a disgraceful parliamentary term.

When most people think about street harassment, they think about what women wear or about how women should respond to catcalls. But there are other, more subtle, effects of street harassment and how it affects women's existence in public space. Recently, The Wall Street Journal noted that only 11 percent of the participants in India's Delhi Half Marathon were female and one of the reasons they gave for why women in India don't run is the "stares and calls from drivers, cyclists and pedestrians." In other words, women don't go outside to exercise when they live in fear of street harassment. Keep reading »

(Updates with analyst comment in second paragraph.)
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- The outlook for German life insurers, including units of Allianz SE and Munich Re, remains stable as conservative investment strategies mean that risks related to the debt crisis could be "digested," Fitch Ratings said.
"German life insurers' investment portfolios are well balanced and able to generate sufficient investment yield to meet the guarantees of existing life insurance portfolios," Fitch analyst Stephan Kalb said in Frankfurt today. "There are also additional sources of income that can be drawn."
Low interest rates and volatile capital markets are "the main challenges" for companies such as Talanx AG, Munich Re's Ergo Versicherungsgruppe and Allianz, Europe's biggest insurer, the ratings firm said. Pressure from low interest rates is partly offset by reduced risks in the industry's investment portfolios and earnings from underwriting, Fitch said.
"Balance sheets today are stronger than before the beginning of the financial crisis," Chris Waterman, head of EMEA insurance ratings at Fitch Ratings, said at the briefing.
As German life insurers have a "small direct exposure" to peripheral euro zone sovereign bonds, "even larger losses in their market values could be digested," Kalb said. The impact of low yields on German government bonds is limited as they only represent about 13 percent of industry investments, he said.
Insurance Returns
The yield gap between Italian and German 10-year bonds widened today as rival ratings firm Moody's Investors Service lowered Italy's grade by three levels to A2 from Aa2.
German life insurers are likely to be able to pay customers guaranteed returns even as their earnings are eroded by low interest rates, Standard & Poor's said last week. S&P estimates an average investment return of 3.5 percent to 4 percent for German primary insurers this year, compared with an average return guarantee for life insurance customers of about 3.1 percent.
Germany is Europe's third-biggest insurance market by premium income behind the U.K. and France, according to statistics by Brussels-based CEA, the European insurance and reinsurance federation.

GONZALES, La.-A significant sales increase from the launch of three new programs helped Crown Crafts to a 51.3 percent jump in second-quarter net income, to $1.1 million.
Those three program debuts, which Crown Crafts did not elaborate on in its financial statement, led to a sales gain of 16 percent, to $20.1 million, in the quarter which ended on Sept. 29. In addition, Crown Crafts posted a 600 basis-point gain in gross margin, which finished the quarter at 28.6 percent. The company did not record selling, general and administrative expenses in its statement on the quarter, but income from operations increased by 61.8 percent to $1.9 million.
Crediting the three programs for improving Crown Crafts' overall financials, E. Randall Chestnut, chairman, president and CEO, added, "We will continue to be aggressive in our pursuit to diversify our portfolio and enhance our product mix." Chestnut cited, as examples, the company's new license agreement with Jonathan Adler for infant and toddler textiles under the designer's Happy Chic by Jonathan Adler label, and its agreement with Gro Co., making it the U.S. distributor for the U.K.-based company's infant products.

SRINAGAR, Kashmir -- In a brutal slaying reminiscent of the Taliban, suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba militants gunned down an 18-year-old youth who had taken refuge inside a Sopore mosque, Indian media reported Thursday (March 21st). The militants were apparently angered because he had participated in sporting events organised by the police and army.
Suhail Ahmad Sofi, 18, was sitting with friends in the mosque compound – where Muslims had assembled for night prayers -- when gunmen started to open fire, according to Press Trust of India. He took refuge inside the Hamaam section of the mosque, but was followed there by the one of the militants, who shot him dead.
"Preliminary investigation reveals that the militants of Lashkar-e-Taiba have killed him," Daily News and Analysis quoted police sources as saying. Sharply condemning the attack, Jammu and Kashmir Grand Mufti Bashiruddin Ahmad said Islam does not allow the murder of innocent people, particularly in a mosque.
"A mosque is house of Allah and anyone who enters house of Allah is safe. The mosques cannot be turned into killing fields," the Mufti said, according to the Press Trust of India (PTI).
Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah, meanwhile, lashed out at opposition parties in Kashmir for what he said were their double standards concerning violence.
"If security forces would have killed anyone you would have marched to the well and torn your clothes," he said during a state assembly session, according to PTI. "You would have thrown mikes and demanded answers from me, but when militants kill any one why don't you raise your voice. Why these double standards?"
ParasMarch 23, 2013 @ 03:03:26AM
Militants must stop killing innocents, whether it is kashmir or elsewhere in the world.

Beliebe This: Justin Bieber Makes Out with a Mannequin (VIDEO)
The "Believe" singer showed off his kissing technique on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.'
Do kiss and tell, Justin Bieber.
Paying a visit to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the Biebs got up close and personal with a mystery brunette — well, a mannequin to be exact.
"Don't fall in love with it, Justin, no! Focus!" host Jimmy Fallon begged as the 18-year-old singer planted a kiss on the female doll's lips.
But hold off on the angry tirade, Beliebers: the singer's make out session wasn't intended to cause jealousy for his fans (or Selena Gomez). The steamy smooch was all part of Fallon's sketch: a "three-point shootout with random objects."
After showing off his kissing technique, Bieber proceeded to throw the mannequin's head into a basketball hoop.
Adding to the craziness, the Canadian crooner even revealed the identity of his father: Chuck Norris.
"Crazy news, breaking news: Chuck Norris is my father," he joked at the start of the game, which also featured a framed photo of the action star, ramen noodles and milkshakes.
Prior to the silly shootout, Bieber and Fallon dished about their shared love of expensive rides, including the "Believe" singer's Ferrari 458 Italia, which has often landed him in trouble."You know what, the police really like to pull me over," he explained. "I don't do anything, I promise. It looks bad, you see pictures of me, but really, the tints are really dark and a lot of the times they'll pull me over."
Adding, "I don't want to cause accidents because people are trying to take pictures and I thought it would be more safe for everyone else if I had dark tints. I'm having fun being 18 and enjoying my life and being responsible."
And Biebs is certainly enjoying the good life. In addition to his reunion with Gomez, he's currently rehearsing for his double duty as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend.
"I'm nervous, but I think it's going to be fun. I've just got to remember to memorize the lines," he said.

Philippine extremists refuse to free hostages
Comment on this storyManila, Philippines -
A Muslim rebel group says al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf gunmen have refused to free foreign hostages after two weeks of negotiations but the Abu Sayyaf won't take any immediate or drastic steps that could harm the captives.
Moro National Liberation Front commander Khabir Malik said on Monday that he met an Abu Sayyaf militant, Jul-Asman Sawadjaan, at the weekend to seek the release of a Jordanian journalist and other foreign and local hostages held in the jungle of southern Sulu province's Patikul town but the extremists refused and gave no indication when they would free their captives
Moro National Liberation Front rebels, who signed a 1996 autonomy deal with the government, have encamped near the Abu Sayyaf's jungle lairs in Patikul for two weeks to demand that the extremists free their captives. - Sapa-AP

Plum Betty
From EatingWell.com
The combo of cooked fruit layered with breadcrumbs or cubes, which defines the humble betty, doesn't sound like much. But something special happens when it's all baked together and the bread gets soft and gooey with the juices of the fruit. In this plum betty, chopped walnuts add a crunchy touch mixed in with the bread. Pecans or almonds are also tasty options.

Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- The discount buyers are demanding for coffee from Vietnam, the world's largest producer of robusta beans, continued to narrow in the past week, as rains delayed the country's coffee harvest, traders said.
Beans from the 2011-12 season are selling at a discount of $20 to $40 a metric ton to the price on the NYSE Liffe exchange in London, according to three traders, who have direct knowledge of the prices and declined to be identified because they aren't authorized to speak to the media. The discount was $30 to $40 a ton a week ago and $50 to $60 a ton on Oct. 7.
"The prolonged rains did slow things down, but there is no indication to believe the crop is going to suffer in size," Volcafe, the coffee unit of commodities trade ED&F Man Holdings Ltd., said in a report to clients e-mailed today.
Vietnam will produce a record 22 million bags in the 2011-12 season started last month, Volcafe estimated in its latest quarterly report. The nation's output last season was 20 million bags, the Winterthur, Switzerland-based trader estimated. Rains delayed the start of the crop.
"Slowly but surely, the coffee is ripening and the drying spaces are filling up," Volcafe said in the report. "The flow, however, is not as big yet as predicted."
The discount has also narrowed because local exporters held back sales, three traders said on Oct. 28. Coffee exporters in Vietnam are being urged not to sign so-called forward contracts unless they have beans in hand, after some companies didn't honor deals earlier this year. Forward contracts are sales of future production at a specified price.
Robusta coffee for January delivery slid $32, or 1.7 percent, to $1,809 a ton by 4:45 p.m. on NYSE Liffe in London. Robusta beans are used in instant coffee and are grown mainly in parts of Africa and Asia.

Royse City is a city in Rockwall County in the U.S. state of Texas. It also extends into Collin and Hunt Counties.
The population was 2,957 at the 2000 census. The population was 9,349 in 2010.[4]
Royse City was settled in 1885, when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway came through the area. The town is named after G. B. Royse, who plotted the town and sold the first lots.[5]
Garrett Burgess Griffin Royse, better known as Byrd Royse, was born in Adair County, Kentucky on January 31, 1838, to William and Mary Stone Royse. He was the seventh of fourteen children. Around 1850, Royse's future grandmother-in-law, Mrs. McCasland, and her sons bought several tracts of land that were later to be known as Royse City.
Royse married McCasland's granddaughter on August 8, 1880. They remained married until his death in 1928. Mrs. Royse died seven years later. Royse sold the first lot to Alf Reese and his nephew Albert Royse. Royse was instrumental in getting the MK&T Railroad line brought from Greenville to Dallas through Rockwall County. Family legend has it that Royse informed the MK&T Railroad people that he would donate the land for a train station if they would call it Royse City. It has always preserved its stable small country town status thanks to its close proximity to Garland (21.3 miles) and Dallas (33.5 miles).[6]
Royse City is located at 32°58′27″N 96°19′58″W / 32.974257°N 96.332827°W (32.974257, -96.332827).[7]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.2 square miles (26 km2), all land.
As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 2,957 people, 1,027 households, and 781 families residing in the city. The population density was 289.8 people per square mile (111.9/km2). There were 1,089 housing units at an average density of 106.7 per square mile (41.2/km2). The racial makeup of the city was 79.44% White, 7.51% African American, 0.47% Native American, 0.54% Asian, 9.54% from other races, and 2.50% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 20.97% of the population.
There were 1,027 households out of which 44.3% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 56.0% were married couples living together, 14.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.9% were non-families. 20.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 10.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.88 and the average family size was 3.34.
In the city the population was spread out with 32.3% under the age of 18, 9.4% from 18 to 24, 32.1% from 25 to 44, 16.3% from 45 to 64, and 9.9% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 30 years. For every 100 females there were 96.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 91.7 males.
--The median income for a household in the city was $42,266, and the median income for a family was $48,804. Males had a median income of $30,966 versus $23,804 for females. The per capita income for the city was $17,153. About 8.4% of families and 10.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 12.0% of those under age 18 and 10.2% of those age 65 or over.
Royse City, like the rest of Rockwall County, has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years. This is due to the rapid growth of the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex and to its location on Interstate 30 between Rockwall and Greenville.

Welcome to my blog, on these pages you will find many articles that I have written through the years, many of which may explain what is happening in your life. I'm often told that an article or message exactly parallels what is going on in someone's life and they wonder how I can write about their life situation so clearly. That's because I am usually experiencing the same situation and often write about my own life situations. We are part of the collective consciousness and we have achieved critical mass within our unity consciousness. What affects on affects all; we're all in this together and as we share energy, we also share its effects.

A suicide prevention program in Arizona appears to be taking shape after years of struggling for attention and funding.
State health officials Monday announced $245,000 in federal substance abuse prevention money for suicide prevention programs targeting American Indians, the elderly and at-risk youth. Tumbleweed Center in Valley will receive funding for struggling youth, but most of the money will go to rural counties and tribes.
There still is no state funding dedicated to suicide prevention, though Arizona's suicide rate is sixth in the nation, based on 2002 figures, up from 10th the previous year. Nationwide, suicide is the third leading cause of death between the ages of 10 and 24.
The federal money, however, is the first directly targeted to suicide prevention in Arizona, and comes as advocates hope to implement a statewide plan that's been two years in the making.
"It's a really nice chunk of change when you consider we had zero," said Joyce Gatson, suicide prevention coordinator for the Mental Health Association of Arizona.
The state's first suicide prevention coordinator, Heather Brown, has been working with the nonprofit Arizona Suicide Prevention Coalition to implement a state plan and a media campaign.
She said some of the local programs will include outreach and public relations campaigns to spread the suicide prevention message.
Most suicide prevention programs depend on federal or philanthropic grants and often are pieces of larger substance abuse or mental health efforts.
"This is the first time the state has really given money to the providers to actually effect change in the community," said Patricia Kempker, manager of suicide prevention services for the Tempe-based EMPACT. Kempker and Gatson also are members of the coalition.
The efforts also lay the groundwork for the state to attract some of the $82 million in federal funds dedicated over the next three years to help prevent youth suicide.
The Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act, named for a U.S. senator's son who killed himself last year, cleared the Senate unanimously and the House 352-64, with three Valley-area Republicans voting against it.
Matthew Specht, spokesman for Rep. Jeff Flake, RAriz., said the East Valley congressman voted against the bill because of a provision allowing treatment without parental consent.
"That was really his only objection," Specht said. "It was something he felt pretty strongly about."
The law creates a research center and will provide millions of dollars to states and universities for early intervention and prevention programs.
It requires parental notification for all programs, assessments and treatment, except in an emergency "where it is necessary to protect the immediate health and safety of the student or other students."

...until I am kitchenless. I have all day to finish emptying my kitchen and set up my temporary eatery (in my kids' playroom in our basement). My before pictures will look cleaner than my kitchen every looked IRL. ;) (I did snap a few with all the mess.) I plan to cook one more meal in my current kitchen. Then it's all BBQ, microwave meals, and whatever I can make in my electric skillet. (Plus, I'm sure, take out.) At this point it's 99% stress, 1% excitement. Stay tuned for updates... |

So TIRED. And there's still more to pack/move. I am going to die in this house because if it's this hard to pack up one small kitchen, I never want to pack up a whole house. Yeah, this is our forever house. The prep for this reno has sealed it. ;) |
Hang in there. Each step seems gruelling in it's own way. But I hear that it's worth it in the end (as my electrician is trying to solve the puzzle that IS getting electrical into my island). |
Our demo day was today after 7 months of planning. We spent the weekend packing up the kitchen and moving essentials into the dining room and office. I agree - that's a lot of work - I found things stuck way back in cabinets that I hadn't seen in years! Can't wait to have all drawers below the countertop so that doesn't happen again. Panic is now setting in while i start to second guess all the big decisions. |

This is how we finished. I have a few more things to put away this morning, but I was exhausted. And all the booze out in the open just seemed so appropriate. ;). Every part of me is sore! P.s. Evidentially, I'm still exhausted. I needed to edit both posts to make them make sense. Ahh, typos in the morning. |

End of day 1! I might be moderately less stressed and slightly more excited. Lol. Cabinets arrived but are still flat packed. The uppers, appliances, and plumbing are out. Wall is gone. |
End of our day 2 (sorry, no pics): All cabinets removed except those in laundry room. Tile laid in master bath (our kitchen reno includes a few extras). Your cabinets look a lot like ours - 1980 oak? |
- Posted by joygreenwald (My Page) on Tue, Aug 12, 14 at 22:01
Rebecca, And here I was thinking that my folks made AMAZING progress. LOL This is kind of fun. Let's keep checking in with each other. I don't think the old cabinets were oak. They had been refaced with something that looked more maple to me. And behind the face frame, they were 1950s shelves. |

Never stop stressing. I left town to visit my parents feeling pretty good about where we were. Then electrical happened. Evidentially, the originally electrician never heard of Code (which changes). Or sense.( which has never included knitting wires back and forth though a 2x4.). Goodbye budget. |

KOLKATA: You may have seen it but not quite put a finger to it - something was missing on the city's roads on Friday. Cars. There were fewer four-wheelers out on Kolkata, two days after a budget-busting petrol price hike. There were fewer vehicles at petrol pumps and far fewer takers for petrol cars.
The gloom has hit petrol-car makers and fuel pump owners as much as it has affected the common man trying to fit the Rs 7.85 hike in his modest expenses bracket.
TOI had reported on Thursday how many Kolkatans were not willing to take their vehicles out after the hike. Friday proved the fears true as sale of petrol nose-dived and car companies reported large-scale pullouts by prospective buyers.
Most of the car dealers TOI spoke to said that a lot of customers have cancelled their booking of petrol cars and opted for diesel cars. Car owners are already making drastic changes to their life to meet the petrol expenses.
"Since the fuel bill burns a big hole in the pocket, I have to strike a balance in fuel consumption. We are using only one of our two cars at a time," said Ileena and Animesh Sen, a couple engaged in interior designing and investment banking.
"In today's world, fuel is bought not in litres but in certain round-figure sums. A buyer usually asks for petrol worth Rs 100 or Rs 500 or Rs 1,000. This practice remains after the hike with the consumer obviously getting less fuel for the same amount of money. So, sales have really dipped. Many people I know have stopped taking their car," said West Bengal Petroleum Dealers' Association general secretary Surojit Koley.
The price hike and subsequent drop in sales has hit petroleum dealers' so hard that there is a demand for a movement to increase their commission. "We are paid a commission on the sale of each unit of fuel and not the price we sell at. After the price hike, our capital investment has gone up but because of the drop in sales, our income has gone down. So we are perhaps the biggest sufferers of the petrol price rise," said Koley.
The rise has also caused a slump in buying petrol cars. A majority of owners of private vehicle used to prefer petrol cars for the price advantage.
The petrol price hike has put off new car buyers. There is a huge shift to diesel cars despite lucrative discounts and offers announced for petrol variants, said motor vehicle dealer Shankar Agarawal.
Petroleum dealers are also hit by evaporation loss. The fuel meant for vehicles of superior emission standards have a higher rate of evaporation. "The scientific committee has proved that this is up to 75%. Yet the oil companies only compensate 60% which was the evaporation loss for earlier version of fuel," Koley.
Many transport economists have questioned the steep hike in petrol price. "It seems the government is engaged in cross-subsidizing diesel with petrol. If this is so, it would be an unfair practice. Moreover, the international crude oil price is not so high that a fall in the rupee would result in such a price rise. If you look at the fluctuation of crude oil price, you would notice that the price rose to an all-time high in early 2009. After that, crude price fluctuated somewhere near $100 and $110 per barrel, where as in 2009 it reached $140 a barrel. The Indian basket of crude oil averaged around $111.15 per barrel in the first half of May 2012, which was 10.4% below the average $124.03 in the first half of March 2012" said Shanatanu Banerjee, a transport economist.

It seems pretty reasonable to at least mention divisive talk show hosts who serve as vehicles for ignorance when talking about the decline of American innovation. He could have mentioned some Democrats who were dumb too, I suppose, but that doesn't mean Fox News is irrelevant here.
By that criteria? (1486 comments)
In that sense, what ISN'T a matter of faith? How do you know that Columbus sailed to America? I've read about it in a book, but have you ever met anyone who was actually on that boat? And if so, how do you know they weren't lying? You're just putting your faith in a bunch of books, just like in religion right? And in science, if you didn't personally conduct quantum mechanics research, how can you make any conclusions about anything without faith? Of course, you may have realized my point by now, which is that saying "X requires faith, and religion requires faith, thus X is no different from religion" is dumb.
Re:What about resistance? (127 comments)
Lysozyme is everywhere. You secrete it on every wet surface of your body. Bacteria have had plenty of time to get acquainted with it, so it is unlikely that putting the stuff in cows will create super bugs that will kill babies. However, this "human-like" milk will still be inferior to actual human milk, lysozyme or no, because it will lack maternal immunoglobulin to protect the kids against a variety of illnesses while their immune system is still developing.
Re:Who will all just plug their ears (361 comments)
If I pile a bunch of rocks high in the sky and call it a skyscraper, that's creating order from disorder, but isn't "negentropy." Similarly, the sun has been shining on our planet for at least as long as life has been on it, so invoking thermodynamics is kind of out. The question of why still remains, though. Presumably I built the skyscraper because someone paid me to do it, and if I get paid to do something then I can use that money to... see where I'm going? Anyway, it's perfectly reasonable to me to imagine that any replicatory process would generate better replicators, and DNA is quite good at what it does. There's no reason to assume that it popped out of nowhere, or was zapped into existence after a lightning strike - there is, as you point out, every reason to assume the opposite. None of this rules out the possibility of simple replicators leading inexorably to more complex and efficient replicators, but it's when we have no reason to believe that DNA was the start of everything, it's cheating to point to the middle of the process (DNA) and say, "How'd that get there?" (to quote an awe-inspiring man). Heck, I'd look to the RNA World before I asked that question, but I think there's probably something even simpler before that - that's the fun of science!
Re:the rating system is broken (771 comments)
In the US, you have to be 16 to get into an R-rated movie. It's rated exactly the same. Moreover, it wasn't just a couple a boobs. There was also, rape, graphic violence with blood and gore, and (of course) a blue penis. Our rating system needs work (nipple = R, barring the Titanic exception, but show the Joker can jam pencils and explosive into people for a PG13), but Watchmen wasn't really borderline material.
Re:Kill most all viruses, invulnerable ones yet li (218 comments)
Your assertion that vaccines would create super bugs has historically been proven false. Those outbreaks were in places where vaccination rates and standards of care are low, and there is no evidence that they were caused by your hypothetical "unvaccinable" bugs (also: currently no usable vaccine for Yersinia pestis). Moreover, why should the prospect of eventually creating resistance deter us from preventing or curing disease? There is no inherent reason why this should be true. With antibiotics, your option is to create resistance and save lives, or to not use antibiotics and have people die. Obviously it's not exactly that simple (option 3: use antibiotics responsibly and avoid selecting for resistance), but my point still stands. In conclusion: vaccines have not been shown to create super bugs, nor is obvious why this should be a deterrent to their use.
Re:Kill most all viruses, invulnerable ones yet li (218 comments)
Just like the polio vaccine created super polio, and the smallpox vaccine created monstro-pox, which subsequently ravaged the greater Eurasian continent before - hey wait a minute! That's what I get for using Wikopedia instead of the real thing!
Re:Worldwide death toll (218 comments)
Well yes maybe you would prefer that, but unfortunately it is much harder to make a vaccine against traffic.
Re:How is it anti-science to teach... (726 comments)
The government has not tried to legislate in evolution as a "strong" theory. There are thousands upon thousands of academic papers supporting it already; the legislation part is only to defend against those who reject said evidence. Without being a serious mental contortionist, nothing in biology makes sense except in the context of evolution.
Re:Wow (832 comments)
Dude, vaccines aren't 100%. Not everyone who gets a shot is immune to the disease. For some diseases it's more variable than others (see: BCG vaccine for TB), and it's not always clear why, although HLA haplotypes have been put forward as a potential explanation. That pretty much counters every one of your arguments. So keep that in mind whenever you go to write another anti-vaccination rant and think first, "Hey, if vaccines - like virtually everything else in medicine - aren't 100% effective, how does this affect what I'm planning to say?"
Re:He's right (832 comments)
Wakefield has been widely discredited for quite some time. His results have never been duplicated, studies have failed to demonstrate a link between vaccines and autism, and the scapegoat additive thiomersal (or thimerosal) was taken out of vaccines in 2001 to no effect.
Re:I still think it should be to parents to decide (832 comments)
What research, exactly?
Re:I agree (596 comments)
It's still a shortcut, and it still piggybacks on Google's superior engine. Whereas Google would be able to figure out that "torsoraphy" is a misspelled "tarsorrhaphy," Microsoft - rather than figuring this out - looks at Google to see what they corrected it to be, and then gives the user that search result. Bottom line: wherever they are deficient they use Google to fill in, and that means Bing is worse (and they realize it).
Whoever wins, I win (535 comments)
I can't help but think I can only benefit from Google and Microsoft fighting.
Re:Cheating? (693 comments)
It's cheating because instead of generating good search results, they look at someone else's search results and output those. It's not theft, it's not illegal, but it is kind of a shitty thing to do. Or, here's how the guy interviewed in TFA said it (pretty well if you ask me):
"It's cheating to me because we work incredibly hard and have done so for years but they just get there based on our hard work," said Singhal. "I don't know how else to call it but plain and simple cheating. Another analogy is that it's like running a marathon and carrying someone else on your back, who jumps off just before the finish line."
Re:Oh boy here we go (201 comments)
You expected a deeply philosophical movie from Inception? Based on what? It was hyped for its stunning special effects and action sequences and directed by the guy who had just done two Batman movies. Inception delivers unless you went into it with ridiculous expectations.

Then there is a big difference between speculative fiction and science fiction. I know which one Fringe is, mostly because there's never been a speculative fiction TV show, so what's the big deal? If you will only tolerate speculative fiction then don't get all worked up when you don't like science fiction (hint: some of the science is fictitious).

ATLANTA-Havertys' first-quarter sales fell 2.5 percent to $181.4 million, according to a preliminary report from the home furnishings retailer.
Same-store sales in the quarter, which ended on March 31, were down 0.9 percent. Clarence Smith, Havertys' chairman, president and CEO, said the results came off last year's first quarter, in which same-store sales rose 11.5 percent. Smith added that the severe winter weather did not affect 30 of its more southern locations, in which same-store sales rose 7.3 percent in the quarter.
"Our written business for the first quarter was better than our delivered sales," Smith said, "due in part to the continued growth of our custom order upholstery and in-home design sales." He also said Havertys has not changed its promotional stance and that gross margin should be in line with its expectations.

A friend gave me a Japanese painted fern this Summer that I planted at the base of a Maple tree. Husband decided he didn't feel like mowing today so he got someone else to do it but did not supervise. Now my fern is mowed to the ground! Will it come back? It was doing very well but has only been in that spot for about 6 weeks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't have any ferns currently but I've read up on them a lot lately to prepare for planting some later this fall and it seems that once they're established, they should come back as long as the root system is intact. However, since you just planted it this summer, I think only time will tell and if I were you, I would keep watering it regularly just in case. |

It will be fine.....it grew and produced foliage up until you planted it.....there will be enough energy built up in the root for next year....just keep it moist and wait for spring..... only problem is that the maple's roots will compete with the fern for moisture......hope you opened up a sizeable planting hole to give it a fighting chance...... |
It should come back fine. I've lawn-mower "pruned" quite of few things that came back after a little while. My wife is NOTORIOUS for planting things next to the lawn edge and not telling me. Of course "I'm" the bad guy when I roll across it without stopping and inspecting each/every non-grassing plant that is in the direct path of my mower. (sigh) She's learning...and so am I. Best wishes to your fern. |
