The Obama administration has released its mandated report on how sequestration may be implemented, outlining in a nearly 400-page document detailed plans for cutting federal spending by $1.2 trillion.
The Office of Management and Budget released the report Sept. 14, a week later than the deadline set by the Sequestration Transparency Act. It includes line-by-line detail on more than 1,200 budget accounts, breaking down what is exempt from sequestration and what's not.
Per the report, sequestration is estimated to result in a 9.4 percent cut in non-exempt defense discretionary funding, and 8.2 percent in non-defense, non-exempt discretionary funding. It would also cut 2 percent to Medicare, 7.6 percent to other non-exempt non-defense mandatory programs, and 10 percent to non-exempt, mandatory defense programs.
In the report and in a conference call with reporters, senior administration officials underscored their opposition to sequestration, which comes from the Budget Control Act of 2011. A "supercommittee" was chosen to hammer out agreed-on cuts, and when it failed to do so near the end of 2011, sequestration became the next step.
If Congress fails to intervene, sequestration will take effect on Jan. 2.
"I think it's clear that the report leaves no question that sequestration would be deeply disruptive to national security, domestic investments and core government functions," said the first of two senior officials who spoke on background. "While the Joint Committee failed last fall to reach an agreement, there is still time to act. Congress needs to come together as it should on a balanced deficit-reduction package that avoids the sequester."
The officials stressed that the figures in the report are estimates based on assumptions and on 2012 spending levels.
"I want to emphasize that the estimates in the report are preliminary," the official said. "If sequestration were to occur, the actual results and percentages would differ based on changes in law and ongoing legal, budgetary and technical analysis. And OMB is going to continue to work through those issues."
Currently, 2013 budget planning doesn't include any sequestration cuts. A continuing resolution, funding the government for six months at 2012 levels (with only a few exceptions), passed the House on Sept. 13. It's set to be taken up by the Senate next week and expected to pass.
Response to the report was swift, with groups and members of Congress quickly releasing statements reacting to the plan.
"Sequester will mean the loss of jobs, as well as much-needed services – from border security to food and drug inspection to veterans' assistance. These losses will have a ripple effect hurting businesses, both large and small, as well as communities across America," said NTEU National President Colleen Kelley.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) criticized the report itself and the administration's effort as "inadequate."
"Bottom line – the administration failed to comply with both the letter and the spirit of the law. Not only was it late, but the report OMB submitted to Congress today pays lip service to the dire national security implications of these cuts...after a year to consider this crisis, I can't understand why they needed an extra week to produce such an inadequate report," McKeon stated.
McKeon voted for the Budget Control Act, which passed in the House 269-161. The vote in the Senate was 74-26.

Talk! talk! talk! Why not when you go to the polls vote the obstructionist out. That is the only way maybe to get something done. Otherwise, don't talk.
"Change the law- at the start of each session, Congress can do NO other work till the appropriation bills are passed, and they MUST stay in session at least 5 days a week until that task is done." And WHO is going to pass this law? Why would they vote against themselves this way? Apart a Constitutional Convention (which has never been done since the original one), this isn't going to happen.
The blame game - Congress and the current administration are to blame. However, congress is right not to fund a budget we can't afford - money don't grow on trees - well its made out of trees but is really useless. Real wealth is in precious metals not printed paper. Not sure why people think the government has more money than we know what to do with and spend it accordingly.
Yes to comment #5, this has been going on for many years now and big bonuses, promotions and time off to do whatever else other then their jobs, let alone mess up middle and low income employees to put their burdens on lesser shoulders to bear, the masses speaks volume! They should be voted out of the house. The President gives order but Congress took charge and made a mess!
Hear, hear to the above comments. If Congress hadn't been so obstructive and totally failed to work together and with the President to come up with a solution, the sequestration wouldn't even be on the table. How dare Congressman McKeon criticize the lateness of the administration's report when as someone noted above, it's been a long, long time since Congress enacted a budget on time.

Commuters in the south metro definitely have it better than their counterparts in the north metro. That is where congestion and crashes are making for a slow drive to work.
On southbound 35W, a crash at County Road 10 has traffic at a standstill starting at Lake Drive. It also is impacting eastbound Hwy. 10. Delays begin at County Road J.
Southbound 35E is crammed from Little Canada Road to downtown St. Paul. That is 15 minutes.
Look for minor congestion on southbound 494 from 94 to Rockford Road. That is 8 minutes.
Westbound Hwy. 610 is running behind the posted speeds from Hwy. 10 over to Hwy. 252. Ahead on 252, look for a stall at 85th Avenue.
South metro freeways and highways are still looking green on the traffic maps, but levels are building.

Any help identifying the problem with my plants would be appreciated.
I have about 25 plants in a raised bed, next to a few peppers and eggplants. The soil is loose, filled with mushroom compose, vermiculite, top soil, and hardwood fines. It's been in use about 5 years. The tomatoes themselves are grown from seeds, mostly heirloom, with a few saved from last year (mixed variety). Most of the plants are exhibiting some degree of the problem. The leaves are getting brown spots on them. They are not little or round, rather oblong splotches that spread across the leaves. They leaves brown, then the branch yellows, and eventually falls off. The splotches cover both sides of the leaf. Some leaves exhibit holes, but not all. I found one leaf with tiny little green (eggs?) on one side, but none on the other. Some plants are much more effected than others. The worst, by far, is a plant on the farthest side, near a cedar fence and closest to an empty lot opposite my yard. This plant is clearly dying. Some others have only small amounts of brown spots, but it appears to be spreading. I thought fungus at first, and treated with green cure, bio-neem, and one other organic fungicide. This had no effect. It seems like insect damage from the way it's so heavy on certain plants, but I can so no evidence of spider mites or the like on the plants. Any idea how to figure it out? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you can link some pictures it would be much easier for us to diagnose. |
I see what is likely some flea beetle damage is several of the pics, some just environmental damage in a couple of the pics and some early Septoria Leaf Spot in one of the photos (last full plant photo). Strip off all the affected foliage and discard it out of the garden, trim off all those branches that are sitting on or touching the ground, and start a regular fungicide spraying program - weekly applications. Daconil is the fungicide of choice but if you want only organic then look at Serenade or one of the other copper based sprays. Hope this helps. Dave |

1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song: | 1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song: |
2 "The leaders led Israel. The people volunteered to go to battle. | 2 "When the princes in Israel take the lead, when the people willingly offer themselves-- praise the LORD! |
3 Listen, kings. Pay attention, rulers! I myself will sing to the Lord. I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel. | 3 "Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the LORD, I will sing; I will make music to the LORD, the God of Israel. |
4 "Lord, when you came from Edom, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the skies rained, and the clouds dropped water. | 4 "O LORD, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water. |
5 The mountains shook before the Lord, the God of Mount Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel! | 5 The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel. |
6 "In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the main roads were empty. Travelers went on the back roads. | 6 "In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths. |
7 There were no warriors in Israel until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose to be a mother to Israel. | 7 Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel. |
8 At that time they chose to follow new gods. Because of this, enemies fought us at our city gates. No one could find a shield or a spear among the forty thousand people of Israel. | 8 When they chose new gods, war came to the city gates, and not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel. |
9 My heart is with the commanders of Israel. They volunteered freely from among the people. | 9 My heart is with Israel's princes, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the LORD! |
10 "You who ride on white donkeys and sit on saddle blankets, and you who walk along the road, listen! | 10 "You who ride on white donkeys, sitting on your saddle blankets, and you who walk along the road, consider |

Then the Lord's people went down to the city gates. | 11 the voice of the singers at the watering places. They recite the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous acts of his warriors in Israel. "Then the people of the LORD went down to the city gates. |
12 "Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Get up, Barak! Go capture your enemies, son of Abinoam! | 12 'Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, break out in song! Arise, O Barak! Take captive your captives, O son of Abinoam.' |
13 "Then those who were left came down to the important leaders. The Lord's people came down to me with strong men. | 13 "Then the men who were left came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came to me with the mighty. |
14 They came from Ephraim in the mountains of Amalek. Benjamin was among the people who followed you. From the family group of Makir, the commanders came down. And from Zebulun came those who lead. | 14 Some came from Ephraim, whose roots were in Amalek; Benjamin was with the people who followed you. From Makir captains came down, from Zebulun those who bear a commander's staff. |
15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah. and followed him into the valley. about what they would do. | 15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yes, Issachar was with Barak, rushing after him into the valley. In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart. |
16 Why did you stay by the sheepfold? Was it to hear the music played for your sheep? about what they would do. | 16 Why did you stay among the campfires to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart. |
17 The people of Gilead stayed east of the Jordan River. People of Dan, why did you stay by the ships? The people of Asher stayed at the seashore, at their safe harbors. | 17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan. And Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the coast and stayed in his coves. |
18 But the people of Zebulun risked their lives, as did the people of Naphtali on the battlefield. | 18 The people of Zebulun risked their very lives; so did Naphtali on the heights of the field. |
19 "The kings came, and they fought. at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo. But they took away no silver or possessions of Israel. | 19 "Kings came, they fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they carried off no silver, no plunder. |
20 The stars fought from heaven; from their paths, they fought Sisera. | 20 From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera. |
21 The Kishon River swept Sisera's men away, that old river, the Kishon River. March on, my soul, with strength! | 21 The river Kishon swept them away, the age-old river, the river Kishon. March on, my soul; be strong! |
22 Then the horses' hoofs beat the ground. Galloping, galloping go Sisera's mighty horses. | 22 Then thundered the horses' hoofs-- galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds. |
23 'May the town of Meroz be cursed,' said the angel of the Lord. 'Bitterly curse its people, because they did not come to help the Lord. They did not fight the strong enemy.' | 23 'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the LORD. 'Curse its people bitterly, because they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.' |
24 "May Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, be blessed above all women who live in tents. | 24 "Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women. |
25 Sisera asked for water, but Jael gave him milk. In a bowl fit for a ruler, she brought him cream. | 25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk. |
26 Jael reached out and took the tent peg. Her right hand reached for the workman's hammer. She crushed and pierced the side of his head! | 26 Her hand reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman's hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple. |
27 At Jael's feet he sank. He fell, and he lay there. At her feet he sank. He fell. Where Sisera sank, there he fell, dead! | 27 At her feet he sank, he fell; there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell--dead. |
28 "Sisera's mother looked out through the window. She looked through the curtains and cried out, 'Why is Sisera's chariot so late in coming? Why are sounds of his chariots' horses delayed?' | 28 "Through the window peered Sisera's mother; behind the lattice she cried out, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?' |
29 The wisest of her servant ladies answer her, and Sisera's mother says to herself, | 29 The wisest of her ladies answer her; indeed, she keeps saying to herself, |
30 'Surely they are robbing the people they defeated! Surely they are dividing those things among themselves! Each soldier is given a girl or two. Maybe Sisera is taking pieces of dyed cloth. Maybe they are even taking pieces of dyed, embroidered cloth for the necks of the victors!' | 30 'Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: a girl or two for each man, colorful garments as plunder for Sisera, colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck-- all this as plunder?' |
31 "Let all your enemies die this way, Lord! But let all the people who love you be as strong as the rising sun!" Then there was peace in the land for forty years. | 31 "So may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But may they who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength." Then the land had peace forty years. |

Holorib steel composite concrete decking
posted by: nursecynthia on 03.06.2013 at 11:57 pm in Old House Forum Curious if anyone has seen or heard of Holorib steel composite concrete decking used in a 1930's home. Even our housing inspector was surprised to see this. Was it a trend at this time? It is only on the main floor of the house. This home has hardwood throughout but the Holorib system can be seen in the basement ceiling.
NOTES: <none>

"This recipe was very good. I did not weigh the meat so I don't know but it was two pieces of pork tenderloin. I used extra garlic and marinated for actually over 24 hours. I brushed off the majority of the garlic before browning to prevent burning of the garlic. I browned the meat in a cast iron skillet and didn't remove. I added chicken broth ..."
"I have never done it this way. My mother showed me to take a paper towel and coat a pan with shortening (room temp) then to dust the pan by shaking a bit of flour on it and shaking the pan so the flour sticks to all areas where the shortening was coated on with the paper towel. This is interesting for sure."

- Summary
- "What is a liberal arts education? How does it differ from other forms of learning? What are we to make of the debates that surround it? What are its place, its value, and its prospects in the contemporary world? These are questions that trouble students and their parents, educators, critics, and policy-makers, and philosophers of education--among others. This work offers a philosophical exploration of liberal learning: a still-evolving tradition of theory and practice that has dominated and sustained intellectual life and learning in much of the globe for two millennia. This study will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand liberal arts education, as well as to educators and philosophers of education. The author weighs the views of both advocates and critics of the liberal arts, and interprets liberal education as a vital tradition aimed supremely at understanding and living a flourishing life. He elaborates the tradition as expressed in five competing but complementary paradigms that transcend theories of curriculum and pedagogy and are manifested in particular social contexts. He examines the transformative power of liberal education and its relation to such values as freedom, autonomy, and democracy, reflecting on the importance of intrinsic value and moral understanding. Finally, he considers age-old obstacles and current threats to liberal education, ultimately asserting its value for and urgent need in a global, pluralistic, technologically advanced society."--The publisher.

Tokyo is a busy city, bustling with activity, traffic, and wealth. Although, under the crust of commotion and commerce, Tokyo holds a dark secret: missing centenarians. That is, people who have lived to be over 100 years old. Disappearing from society isn't always the easiest task, but 77,000 people over 120 years old have no reported deaths and cannot be found. One record lists a man aged 186 years old. Perhaps he's kicking it somewhere, sporting the Analog Tokyo T-Shirt…just saying.

* Note that since the survey was distributed to a wide variety of potential respondents, including via e-mail
listserves, not all of these organizations may be the types of partners that are the focus of this chapter.
However, their responses are included for the sake of completeness.
5.3 Summary of Survey Results
The survey respondents were about evenly divided between describing their
partnership with the car-sharing organization as formal or informal. About
half of the partner organizations who answered the survey said that the car-
sharing organization had initiated the partnership. The same number said
that staff at their own organization or another organization had initiated
the partnership. The majority reported that their overall understanding of
car-sharing, its impacts and economic viability had substantially improved
as a result of their participation in the partnership, compared to knowledge
they had about car-sharing before they entered into the partnership. Overall,
most respondents considered that they now have a good or excellent un-
derstanding of key aspects of car-sharing. Exhibits 5-2 and 5-3 summarize
these answers.

Types of Support
The contributions of partner organizations that were surveyed have ranged
from limited--such as, marketing assistance--to substantial--such as, re-
duced parking requirements when a residential development incorporates
car-sharing. According to the literature search, most of the substantial con-
tributions have occurred in Europe, where car-sharing had its roots and is,
therefore, more well-established and understood. However, many of these
have been taken up and extended by partners in North America, albeit on
a more limited scale.

Car-Sharing: Where and How It Succeeds
The assistance mentioned by partners in the survey can be broadly sum-
marized in the following categories:
� Marketing
� Administration
� Parking
� Financial contributions
� Memberships
� Planning, policy, and tax issues
� Transit integration
Sections 5.4 through 5.9 describe these categories in detail with extensive
examples culled from the survey, the literature search and the partner in-
Attitudes Toward Subsidies of Car-Sharing
Seed money can be invaluable in conducting feasibility studies and helping
a car-sharing operation get up and running. More than 75% of partners who
answered the survey question said that it is appropriate for car-sharing or-
ganizations to receive start-up subsidies. Exhibit 5-4 illustrates the partners'
opinions about whether car-sharing organizations should receive subsidies,
be financially self-sufficient, or treated like any other contracted service.

Chapter 5 � The Role of Partners
Perceived Benefits
Survey respondents were asked, "In your opinion, how can car-sharing
help further the goals of your organization?" As shown in Exhibit 5-5,
most partners see multiple benefits � on average, respondents selected more
than five options. However, when asked in a follow-up question to choose
which of the benefits was the most important for their organization, no clear
choice emerged.

Most important benefit

Reduces our company/organization's vehicle fleet size
Survey respondents considered, on balance, that car-sharing had been suc-
cessful in helping to achieve their most important goal. However, many
were not yet collecting hard data to support this belief. Chapter 7 discusses
the various approaches used by respondents to evaluate car-sharing's suc-
cess and makes recommendations on quantitative techniques to measure

Nov. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Canada's dollar rose versus most of its major counterparts as signs of a U.S. economic recovery buoyed confidence that Canadian exports will benefit from increasing demand in their biggest market.
The loonie, as the currency is known, pared its loss versus the U.S. dollar as crude oil rallied to above $102 a barrel. The Canadian dollar fell earlier to a five-week low as Europe's debt turmoil discouraged demand for riskier assets.
"The U.S. data today was generally stronger than expected, and that's good for the Canadian outlook," Camilla Sutton, chief currency strategist at Bank of Nova Scotia's Scotia Capital unit, said in a telephone interview from Toronto. "Increasingly, the market is viewing Canada as a commodity and U.S. growth play that's temporarily swayed by risk aversion."
Canada's currency depreciated 0.2 percent to C$1.0231 per U.S. dollar at 3:39 p.m. Toronto time. Earlier it touched C$1.0288, the weakest level since Oct. 12. One Canadian dollar buys 97.74 U.S. cents. The loonie appreciated 0.3 percent to C$1.6107 against the pound, and gained versus 12 of its 16 most- traded counterparts including the euro and Swiss franc.
Futures on crude oil, Canada's biggest export, jumped as much as 3.6 percent to $102.89 a barrel in New York, the highest level since June 1, before trading at $101.86. Oil has gained about 18 percent over the past month, while the Canadian dollar lost 1.3 percent of its value against its U.S. counterpart.
Playing 'Catch-Up'
"Oil and the Canadian dollar have historically had a strong correlation, but not so much in the last month," Rahim Madhavji, president of Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange Inc., said in a telephone interview from Toronto. "Today the loonie is playing a bit of catch-up."
Industrial production in the U.S. advanced in October more than economists forecast, a Federal Reserve report showed. The U.S. is Canada's largest export market, soaking up about three- quarters of its goods shipped abroad.
Output at U.S. factories, mines and utilities climbed 0.7 percent after a revised 0.1 percent drop in September. Economists forecast a 0.4 percent gain, according to the median of 83 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
The yield on 10-year Government of Canada bonds fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 2.11 percent. The price of the 3.25 percent securities maturing in June 2021 increased 17 cents to C$109.84.
The loonie gained 0.8 percent over the past month, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Currency Indexes, a gauge of 10 developed-nation currencies. The greenback rose 2.7 percent, and the yen increased 1.3 percent.

this should never have been bumped, but luffy loses to the real madara without being able to put up much of a fight
Believe Madara might be a bit too much for Luffy to handle, which is surprising to admit considering One Piece normally has the best strength and speed feats of the HST. Both are about on par with each other in strength and speed if Madara is at base stats. But once Madara whips out Susanoo and other doujutsu abilities, Luffy's quite screwed here as he won't have the durability and speed to tank and evade the destructive capabilities of Susanoo's attacks, especially the freakin' meteor attack.

The National Action Pistol Championship, known to most as the MidwayUSA & NRA Bianchi Cup, is the most prestigious and richest shooting tournament in the world. But this year, the Bianchi Cup has one more accolade to add: the NRA President's Trophy.
The President's Trophy is a coveted award given each year to the NRA National Championship with the highest percentage of growth. The 2011 NRA Bianchi Cup earned this distinction after experiencing an incredible 15% increase in competitors.
At last month's NRA Board of Directors Meeting, the President's Trophy was presented to Dwight Van Horn, the Chairman of the NRA Action Pistol Committee. A second award was also presented to the NRA Bianchi Cup match staff for their hard work and dedication.
"The growth of the Bianchi Cup is attributed to the participation of sponsors including MidwayUSA, Colt, Safariland, SIG SAUER, Blade-Tech, Universal Coin & Bullion, and all of the sponsors who support the match. The staff of the NRA Competitive Shooting Division all came together to reinstate the Bianchi Cup as the most prestigious championship in the world," said Tom Hughes, NRA National Manager of Pistol Programs.
The Bianchi Cup also received the President's Trophy in 2009. Last year, the event was nearly filled to capacity with competitors. According to Hughes, the 2012 NRA Bianchi Cup is on its way to being filled when it returns to Columbia, Missouri from May 23-26.
"We already have over 135 competitors registered for 325 slots," said Hughes.
To learn more about the NRA Bianchi Cup, visit the competition's webpage or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Click Here To Listen!The Gazette Radio Hour- Friday, May 23, 2014
Faced with the ever increasing realization that the times are ever a changing as the famous Bob Dylan once said. A frightened Doug Sutton shrunk within himself, his personality was very similar to the image of a small baby fox lost in the giant forest of life. In fact, many would argue that the always angry, ever intimidating, and persistently unpalatable Doug Sutton – was sad. Sadder than said fox metaphor mentioned earlier, Doug Sutton had undoubtedly been affected by something so devastatingly horrid, painful to his every sense and/or dealing with a situation so lamenting, that he could not mask his true emotions. Shortly before the Santa Clarita Gazette and Free Classifieds owner sat down into his seat to begin cohosting the increasingly popular radio show program cleverly titled, The Gazette Radio Hour, something happened – a catalyst struck, changing the dynamics of Doug Sutton's thought process forever. Or at least for the remainder of the 1 o'clock hour. His good friend, legal assistant and airwave brethren and famous radio personality, John Rogers truly got under Doug's skin. And with John's spectacular observational skills, he knew exactly when and how to chime in and derail Doug, with the ulterior motive to highjack the show and lead the hour. John Rogers is a leader, and he flexed his leadership skills by slyly whispering the words that always send Doug into a slump, which were "Obamacare". Doug is an avid hater of Obamacare, while John Rogers is completely on the other side of the fence supporting the President. While this ragtag duo of radio personalities usually disagree, it was John's Obamacare timing that gave him the upper hand in controlling the conversation. Which always fuels Doug which insurmountable rage.

Moms Working For You: Moxie Bibs Have Got You Covered
I'll be honest, I have a love-hate relationship with bibs. I hate messes, so they're a must. But most bibs end up doing half the job, or being just as much work as no bib at all. That's why I knew Amy of Moxie Bibs struck genius when I learned about her idea. The Moxie Bib is anything but your traditional plastic-y bib. It's actually quite lovely to look at, and is worn more like a shirt, but with a cool open back and easy-to-secure velcro tab at the neck. The best part? It really does wash like a little miracle. My kids have gotten pretty much anything that comes in a jar or a can on ours, and they look as good as new. (Plus it's quite the conversation starter when you head out to eat.)
These are my go-to baby gift for repeat moms, and every single one has wondered why they didn't know about the Moxie Bib sooner. So, now I'm letting all of you in on my little secret…

I downloaded Kazaa, but am not sure how to download songs. I used the download button and got several songs downloaded but they don't play. What do I need to do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Kazaa is a file sharing program File sharing involves using technology that allows internet users to share files that are housed on their individual computers. Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications, such as those used to share music files, are some of the most common forms of file-sharing technology. However, P2P applications introduce security risks that may put your information or your computer in jeopardy. http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST05-007.html Joe |
Thanks Joe, but that doesn't answer my question. I have downloaded a bunch of songs but they won't play. How do I get them to play? |

I suggest you take Zep's warning to heart this is how many of the infections that we end up helping people clean up off of their pc get there. In fact in many of the help forums I am on we will not assist you to clean your pc if you do not remove those dangerous peer to peer programs. Why help to clean it if the behavior will continue and lead right back to infection. Therefore some of us will not instruct how to install or use them. If you insist on using them I feel sure google can help you. Have you by chance manually had your AV and malware programs scan each of those items prior to trying to run them? If not at least do that a song is not always just a song. you should remember that malware may be the least of your worries if you choose to download copyrighted material. |

I used Kazaa many years ago. I see it's no longer really "P2P file SHARING". They charge now? Probably claim to be buddy buddy with the RIAA now too huh? Incredible. Good luck if you ever decide to cancel membership. Actually... it's remarkably difficult to get a virus from a media file. Yet possible. Make sure it really is a media file and not some sort of executable. Look at the extension, look for ".mp3", ".wav", ".flac", ".ogg", etc. Do NOT use Windows Media Player, and especially don't install special codecs, WMP might install a virus laden codec automatically. By the way, if you can't see the file extension, it's because Window$, in it's infinite wisdom has decided you're don't need to... Google how to turn them on. :) What extensions do the files have? Have you tried VLC(from videolan.org)? P2P'ers recommend it all the time, includes SAFE codecs to play most any media file you're likely to encounter. "Use VLC" is a lazy answer but it almost always solves the problem. If VLC won't play it... delete it... NOW! :D And... if you're paying Kazaa a dishonest $10($9.95) to download and play FREE(?) music, why aren't they quick to help you? Good luck anyway, perhaps I'm being too negative. |

Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - Devin Ebanks finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds, as 10th-ranked West Virginia pulled away in a 69-50 win over South Florida.
Darryl Bryant added 15 points for the Mountaineers (13-2, 4-1 Big East), who rebounded from a setback at Notre Dame on Saturday, their first conference loss. Da'Sean Butler added 12 points, nine boards and four assists in Wednesday's victory, West Virginia's sixth straight over South Florida.
Dominique Jones scored 28 points -- 19 in the first half -- to pace the Bulls (10-6, 0-4), who have lost their last four.
A pair of Jones baskets put South Florida ahead 10-4 in the opening minutes, and the Bulls stretched their lead later in the half. Mike Mercer's layup ended a six-point burst to make it a 23-12 game with under eight minutes left.
But the Mountaineers rattled off the next 12 points to move in front. Bryant had the final nine points of the run to give West Virginia a 24-23 edge, and the Mountaineers were up 32-30 at the break.
"I was just so frustrated at halftime," West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said. "[Jones] is a heck of a player, but 19 is a lot of points and 19 out of 30 is really a lot of points. We did in the second half what we were supposed to do the whole game."
West Virginia opened the second half with a 14-2 run to take control, as Wellington Smith's layup opened up a 46-32 advantage.
"I think it was us," Jones said. "I think everybody got a little bit excited and wanted to do their own thing. That just took us out of our flow. They got the momentum and just ran off with the game from there."
Chris Howard countered with two free throws, but the Mountaineers responded with a three from Kevin Jones and a layup from Bryant for a 51-34 lead with 12:51 left. South Florida didn't make a serious dent in its deficit the rest of the way.

Hi all, I just had a crazy idea, and I don't think I've seen it discussed here (and I tried a thorough search on google too). Has anyone used a drawer to hide drying pots and dishes? Not a dishwasher drawer, but an actual drawer. I'm not obsessive about hiding this daily fact of kitchen life, but I live in Europe where it is awfully handy to be able to tuck away all my hand-wash pots in the wonderful drip-rack cabinet (with door) directly over my sink. I won't have upper cabinets in my new American kitchen, plus you'll be able to see into my sink area from my home's front door, so I've been mulling over how to handle this. Then today, I had this epiphany - you could put a rack in a deep drawer, with a lipped metal base below it to catch most of the drips. Is there a downside to doing this? Anyone tried it? Grazie! |

Moisture enclosed equals no air flow equals mold and mildew. |

See link below -- I knew I'd seen this idea before -- I think the key is in this paragraph: 'The bottom of the cabinet is covered with a stainless-steel pan that is pitched to a 1-1Ōüä2-in. drain line. It leads to a P-trap that ties into our basement plumbing.' I also know people use a dishwasher drawer as a drying rack. If you had the budget it might be the best of both worlds? I think the success of this idea would really depend on the relative humidity where you live. I live in a cold coastal area. We take moderate care to avoid damp in the house and I could picture this idea not going very well. If I lived in Florida...no way. Arizona, would probably work like a charm. |

Whether you use a regular cabinet drawer or a DW it seems like a lot of money and the loss of prime cabinet space just to avoid using a dish towel. If you are going to take the time to hand wash something just finish the job and immediately dry and put it away. Your counters will then be clear. : ) |
Nothing new under the sun, is there? robotropolis - That is brilliant, just what I was thinking of. Great to see it with such details. This would be in New England . . . not sure if it would work. debrak - point well taken. But just not always the way I work. Maybe my new space will inspire me! :-) |
Regarding the link - there does not appear to be any airflow in that drawer (despite short sides and no back - unless you have an open backed cabinet...) I would think there would still be mold/mildew issues. |
Or you could use a wire front as in these pantry drawers intended for root vegetables, from the TOH Bedford house |

I'd want a ventilation grate and maybe a computer muffin fan to actually dry things. |

I love the idea of those drip dry cabinets over the sink! If I had moved my sink away from the window I was going to get one, but it didn't work out this time. I think the big difference is the uppers can have an open bottom. The lowers are pretty much enclosed. Do you have a peninsula or island where you could use screens or decorative grates on one end so 3 sides are "open"? |
Another vote for ventilation here. There are times when my dishwasher doesn't get run for a week. It can get dank in there if dishes are put in wet, and we have kind of middling humidity (mostly between 40-60% by the hygrometer). The dishwasher seals it in. Even when we're more deserty than swampy (yes, I live in the swampy desert, which can be confusing), I won't put damp things in my cabinets. I'm really anti-mold. Have you considered going New England style with this? You could have an open plate rack. It doesn't have to be part of a cabinet, and it can as easily be Modern or futuristic as early American. Another possibility is to invest $100 in a gross of dish towels. :) |
pillog - A gross of dish towels either way! EAM - I really like the TOH wire front pantry doors. The plate rack wouldn't work because these are always odd-sized pieces - a draining water bottle, the colander, the moka coffee pot - which is what makes the pile so unattractive. As always, thanks for thinking this through with me. I'm going to mull my idea over and see if I can find a spot that might work. But realistically, I'll probably have a rack on the counter! |
When I had a double sink, I had a draining rack on the bottom of one side. Drying dishes weren't really visible - very practical. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Fri, Mar 28, 14 at 21:49
Using your DW uses less water and energy than hand washing. So, use it. Problem solved about having a drying rack on the counter. |
For the things that don't go in the DW, you can also use a drying pad. I have one with ridges (a bit like the green one below, but squares) that rolls up and is stored under the sink, and a big woven one someone gave me in that drawer next to the sink that's great for parties when the DW can't hold it all and a lot of the tableware can't go in the DW anyway. For everyday stuff, like my knives and cast iron, I just dry as I rinse. :) Which is what is so useful about buying towels by the gross. :) I also have a little basket that's shaped like a small hamper but is really an open latticed laundry basket with a lid to put the wet towels in. So far they haven't gone stinky or weird in it. :) There are also a lot of very interesting looking drying racks if you're looking for something that's more visually appealing than Rubbermaid (though you can't beat the practical design of Rubbermaid!). Plus there are folding ones and collapsible silicone racks that are easy to stash away, ones that are meant to sit in your sink, or hang from the edges of your sink to hide while full, racks designed to go with all popular design styles, etc. Speaking of Rubbermaid, this first one is their "drainboard": |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

** I propose the US gives Syria the medal of douchebaggery
On a more important note, interesting to see that the Syrians are
continuing to push Iran on inclusion of Allawi's people in the Cabinet.
Syrian president Bashar Asad yesterday's visit to Damascus went smoothly.
Asad was relieved because the issue of peace with Israel did not feature
prominently in his talks with his Iranian counterpart Mahmud Ahmadinejad.
The stalled peace talks between Israel and the PA has given Asad an
additional reprieve since he does not need to answer to Iran's worries
about Syria's push towards peace with the Jewish state. The talks between
Israel and the PA will not collapse, they will certainly be delayed.
Iran's satisfaction with the difficulties currently facing the talks has
encouraged Ahmadinejad to award Asad Iran's highest national honor, the
Courage Medal. This was a message to US president Barrack Obama that Iran
will not so easily allow Asad to defect from its camp.
The most important item on the talks in Tehran focused on how to convince
Iyyad Allaw's Iraqiyya Bloc to join a new cabinet chaired by by Nuri
al-Maliki, who is Allawi's mortal enemy. Asad, who had earlier met with
Allawi in Damascus, wants the Iranians to give key cabinet portfolios to
the Iraqiyya Bloc. Ahmadinejad promised Asad to handle this matter in a
manner that does not disappoint Damascus

3.93 / 5.00 5,213 ViewsHey, I'd like to show you guys some art I've done and hopefully you'll like to give me some sort of review.
So I'll start off with this, which I did today:
I know I fall into this trap also, but can you work into other things other than the face.
Physiognomy is an easy trap for artists to fall into.
I like it! You have a nice line quality, especially around the eyes. I don't know if you consider this a finished work, maybe not, but at the moment I feel like the image lacks focus. Because it is the 'outlier' in the range of greys you've used, what you've outlined in black is drawing attention over the rest of the image. This means the sides of the face are most prominent, followed by the teeth, etc. For me, the focus should be that beautiful eye you obviously put care into. Maybe if you nix the black and use that dark grey again instead? For a quick piece you've whipped out in a day, it's quite nice and a good start for a character design.
Thanks for the feedback, I think I might return to that picture I posted and you're right about too much focus on the face on the face.
For now though, I have two drawings to show you.

I not only enjoy the beach during the summer season, but very often will walk down there during the off-season to fill my lungs with the amazing winter salt air. One of my favorite activities is biking and walking along the bike trail, which is literally steps from my front door. Walking into Harwich Port on a Wednesday evening to partake in the Harwich Stroll is one of my summer hightlights. The Stroll takes place all along Main Street, featuring fine local bands performing live for the masses.

Digital Disruption Via Big Data — Coming To Your Neighborhood Soon!
Posted by Brian Hopkins on June 28, 2013
I had the privilege of watching the recent NSA surveillance story unfold from my hotel room in London this June. Seeing the story from a decidedly non-American viewpoint got me thinking a bit differently about the implications for our society. From my point of view — no matter how you define the squishy and now beat-to-death "big data" concept — the NSA story has moved it from something "they use" to something that is uncomfortably close to where we live our lives. In other words, big data just moved in next door and is peeking over our fences into our living rooms. Eeek.
There are lots of socio-political issues with this, and I'm not even going to go there. However, the way that I see it, this incident will ultimately create a lot of opportunity for businesses savvy enough to get ahead of it the can of worms now squirming in our laps.
I think one of two things is going to happen. Either: 1) the US general public will shrug and go back to business as usual and this story will die, or 2) the public outrage will demand governmental oversight and accountability resulting in a tightening of our legal system. The latter case would be an example of how digital disruption, a topic we have written and blogged about for a while, is not just a business thing. It's a cultural phenomenon that will rock our society for a long time.
We'll have to wait and see how it plays out but, consider this — if the NSA story results in significant new legislation to protect or at least inform US citizens when their web and cellular activity is being used, it will put a lot of disruptive pressure on telecoms, social sites, digital content providers, and the like and create a host of new opportunities. For example, legislative changes could make it more difficult for social web providers to share your information, perhaps by requiring more explicit "opt-out" functions. This would naturally result in many folks choosing to do exactly that, in turn putting pressure on major revenue streams for firms who depend on this data. As result, savvy firms will jump on opportunities to help people feel more comfortable and in control of their personal information. I know that many firms have been struggling with when to invest in providing more personal information protection features in the customer-facing apps. The time may be now.
In summary, the NSA story has made very real to a once naive public that the assumed protection of anonymity is not what it was. Big data has disrupted that comforting notion and our society is bound to change because of it. Welcome to the digital age!
