I've been shopping around for a quality stove top... Also read all the forum about gas stove top... I've narrow it down to Thermador, Dacor, Capital and Bluestar. Do you guys have any feedback? I love to cook, but use one burner at a time..2 at the most... I'm Asian so I fried a lot and use garlic all the time for stir fry ;)
Also looking for a good hood! Any suggestion |

I think the black has a horrible taste! I used the darkest chocolate frosting ever, to avoid using alot of coloring. It was still gross. I had to add a ton of cocoa powder and vanilla to the icing to hide the flavor. I usually suggest black as an accent color only, just for that reason. Not sure about the red

Seems my blue morning glory seeds harvested last year are not growing true..small, with pink streaks in the centre, not the same as parent. Hope I haven't disappointed anyone too much with the seeds I sent out. Lesson learned..start with nursery seeds, and don't expect anything to be true to parent due to cross-pollination.

Yes, Fresh City Life is taking the classic 1970s board game and turning it into a giant interactive game that you can play at the Denver Art Museum's awesome night, Untitled #64: Framed. You'll play Masterpiece with a huge group, choosing DAM artworks at a mock auction. At the conclusion, we'll reveal who made the most lucrative choices. Prizes will be awarded for best and worst choices – including a mint condition, vintage set of the original board game, Masterpiece! Hang out at the art museum for a memorable Friday night.
To coincide with Paula Burger's visit, Fresh City Life hosts a special musical event -- a traditional Klezmer concert with Joe Lukasik (clarinet) and James Hoskins (cello). With deep roots in Eastern Europe, Klezmer music has come to symbolize the human experience and struggles in Jewish culture and history. Through musical snapshots of life before and after the Holocaust, Joe and James explore Pikauch Nefesh -- the concept that the preservation of life overrides any other consideration. In Yiddish, klei means vessel and zemer means song -- a Klezmer musician is an instrument of song.
James Hoskins 'speaks' cello and he knows how to make his cello sing. Enjoy a mix of Balkan and Middle-Eastern tunes, original compositions which incorporate elements of world folk traditions, jazz, funk, classical, and meditative music, and improvisations based upon the environment and the library patrons in attendance!
Jon Sousa will give a one hour performance on guitar and tenor banjo, with repertoire mainly stemming from Traditional Irish music, but including some Jazz and Classical. Jon's passion for music has taken him all over the world from the beautiful countryside of France, studying with master fingerstyle guitar player Pierre Bensusan to Senegal, West Africa, studying Sabar drumming and a lengthy sabbatical in Ireland in 2008 where he refined his skills in interpreting Irish music.
Acclaimed Celtic guitarist Jerry Barlow is a virtuoso musician, a warm and accessible performer, and a world-class storyteller. His repertoire is composed of a synthesis of traditional music from the British Isles and his own original Celtic-inspired compositions. Barlow's music transports the listener across time and space on an imaginary journey to rustic Irish fishing villages, the misty Scottish Highlands or enchanted English forests. Enjoy the arrangements that have been described as "music to soothe the soul, warm the heart, and lift the spirit." http://denverlibrary.org/fresh
We found a seductive, vintage pattern for turning a simple garter stitch into a complex Princess Mary plaid fabric. You can knit it into a gorgeous scarf or gaiter – or apply it to other accessories or home décor items (it would make a divine pillow cover or table runner). This is a great workshop for brushing up on your finishing skills and honing your knowledge of color theory, too. Only students with basic skills (or higher) will be registered; please be comfortable with casting on, knit and purl stitch and binding off. Approximate cost for yarn: $25.
Starring Joan Crawford. Directed by Charles Waters. A classic film of the Hollywood Regency era, watching Torch Song is like staring at perfectly lit costume jewelry – all icy beauty, saturated color, glitter and artifice. The sets, the costumes, the script, Joan Crawford's eyebrows – all seem larger than life. Filmed in gorgeous Technicolor, this is one of Joan Crawford's last great roles; she has become a caricature of herself as The Star. It works brilliantly in this film – but discerning viewers will see that the mirror has cracked. 90 minutes. Not rated. http://denverlibrary.org/fresh
Starring Ethel Waters, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson and Lena Horne. Directed by Vincente Minelli and Busby Berkeley. "Cabin in the Sky was a Broadway musical before it was made into a movie. The stage version of Cabin in the Sky was so successful that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) decided to buy the movie rights and make it into a film. To help ensure the movie's success, MGM decided to use popular, well-known African-American stars in the film. At the top of the list were Ethel Waters, Lena Horne and Eddie Anderson.
Starring Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara. Directed by William Dieterle. Sometimes, you've got to love a monster – or as one of the characters in this film says: 'Ugliness is fascinating.' With Charles Laughton as the hunchback, that is certainly true. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame is an outstanding adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel, set in fifteenth century France. One of the biggest budget films of its era, the sets are imposing, the cast is first rate, and the script is excellent. Charles Laughton is the Hunchback, deformed but spry and intelligent.

The Times has an article from February 11, 2009, by Alice Miles, "Look out, Kipper! These books are deadly! It's no wonder that our children don't enjoy reading. The first material they are given ticks boxes but dulls minds "
In all schools, book space is under pressure from the march of the screen, just as reading for fun has been replaced with ICT. I recently worked in a school where six-year-olds, a computer apiece, were learning basic graphic design and creating fireworks on their computer screens, but I was told off by a teacher for spelling out "colour" for a boy who asked me. The teacher wanted to encourage the children to guess: 'kl', wrote one girl.
School libraries have been rebranded "learning resource centres", their books shoved down one end of the room while computers take over the rest. The computers tend to be underused because of their controlled and anodyne content - rather, in fact, like the reading scheme books.

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Germany will generate enough revenue to fund tax cuts from 2013 that were announced by Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble earlier this month, a government official said in Berlin today.
An unpublished forecast by the Finance Ministry shows that tax revenue in coming years will be higher than expected in May, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The ministry's prediction will be part of a panel's joint forecast to be published Nov. 4, the official said.
Germany plans to reduce income tax by as much as 7 billion euros ($9.8 billion) per year from 2013, Schaeuble said Oct. 20 at the publication of the government's economic outlook. The cuts aim to give some of the income tax gains that result from higher wages back to workers, Schaeuble said then.
Growth in German tax revenue accelerated in September, led by tax collection at the federal level, the Finance Ministry said Oct. 21, cautioning that economic growth will slow. The panel of tax forecasters will base its outlook on the government's official growth forecast, which predicts the economy will expand 1 percent next year.
The government is confident that the panel meeting in the eastern city of Halle this week will present a joint forecast that creates scope for the removal of the so-called cold progression without forcing municipalities and the 16 states to boost borrowing, said the official. Cold progression means employees can end up worse off when winning a pay raise because it forces them into a higher tax bracket.
The panel in May estimated total tax revenue of 247.2 billion euros next year, 255.4 billion euros in 2013, 265 billion euros in 2014 and 274.3 billion euros in 2015. The panel estimated revenue surpluses compared with an earlier prediction of 5.4 billion euros in 2012, 4.6 billion euros in 2013, 5.6 billion euros in 2014 and 6.6 billion euros in 2015.
There is no leeway for any public spending that goes beyond the current plan and there are risks that planned revenue from items such as a financial transaction tax won't materialize, the official said.
While the government doesn't plan automatic tax adjustments, it will review the tax burden every two years, Schaeuble said Oct. 20.

Sen. Charles Schumer has been told there will be no more layoffs at Bausch & Lomb Inc., no further cuts to research and development and manufacturing, and as many as 50 research jobs will be transferred to Rochester from California, he said Thursday.
Schumer, D-N.Y., announced the commitments in a statement following a phone conversation with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. CEO Michael Pearson.
Valeant announced its $8.7 billion acquisition of Bausch & Lomb on May 27. The deal was consummated Aug. 6, with Valeant announcing 400 jobs cuts by November.
All existing vision care R&D will continue to be done in Rochester, Schumer said. In addition, 25 to 50 research jobs for the surgical intraocular lens business will be transferred here.
Valeant also will reconsider its plan to manufacturer its silicon hydrogel monthly contact lenses in Ireland rather than Rochester, Schumer said. That lens, commonly referred to as Zeus, was researched and developed in Rochester and its pilot manufacturing line is here.

Waterford – A senior reactor operator at the Millstone Power Station tested positive for alcohol near the beginning of his shift Tuesday evening and was immediately suspended.
Ken Holt, spokesman for Millstone owner Dominion, said the operator, who was not named, was given a breathalyzer and urine test after his supervisor noticed unusual behavior. The man was not working in a control room or near the reactor at the time, Holt said. The operator had been assigned to the Unit 3 nuclear power plant, which has been shut down since Saturday for routine refueling, and was working in the outage support center this morning.
Millstone workers are tested for illegal drugs and alcohol at random and when warranted by behavior, Holt said. Workers are subjected to disciplinary action up to firing if tests show any traces of illegal drugs or alcohol.
"Dominion's policy is zero," he said. "If there is any detected, you fail the test."
Holt said the incident has been reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Almost Guilt-Free Strawberry Shortcakes
Instead of the usual calorie-laden whipped cream filling, we've used thick, nonfat Greek yogurt in its place. Yes, the shortcakes still have some cream and butter in the dough. There's not much getting around that. But yogurt is packed with active cultures that reportedly aid digestion and boost the immune system. And fresh fruit always does a body good. We've added just the tiniest drizzle of honey to mellow the tartness of the Greek yogurt. You also can stir in a tad with the sliced strawberries, if the fruit is not sweet enough.
1 3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons
granulated sugar
1 tablespoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 stick
unsalted butter, cold, cubed
1/2 cup
heavy cream, can substitute with low-fat heavy cream
1/3 cup
plain yogurt
cream, for brushing on top
2 1/2 to 3 pints
strawberries, fresh, rinsed, hulled, and sliced
1 tablespoon
chopped crystallized ginger, or to taste optional
honey, to taste
nonfat Greek yogurt
sanding or granulated sugar, for sprinkling on top
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender until butter is size of peas. Stir cream and yogurt together in a second bowl, add to flour mixture, and blend with a fork just until dough comes together.
- Pat out dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 1-inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out as many shortcakes as possible and place them on prepared baking sheet. Gently press scraps into a 1-inch-thick circle and cut remaining biscuits. (Note: Avoid twisting the cutter into the dough. That will seal the sides and prevent the shortcakes from rising as high as they should.)
- Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix strawberries with crystallized ginger, and a little bit of honey, if you like. Stir a little honey into the Greek yogurt, as well. When shortcakes are cool enough to handle, split each one in half horizontally. On each bottom half, spoon a small dollop of yogurt, then top with strawberry mixture; repeat with a little more yogurt, then more strawberries. Replace the tops of each shortcake, and serve.

EU - Europeans: Over the decades, the European Union (EU) has developed progressively from a goal-oriented economical community into a political union. Although Brussels increasingly makes decisions concerning more and more areas of life, European democracy functions "top-down". The EU offers its citizens hardly any possibilities to directly influence political decisions.
The EU does not give its citizens a voice. The Europe needs Initiative association recognizes this as a threat to the Union's future. "We Change Europe" are convinced that it is time to take initiative and to invigorate the concept of a European Citizens' Democracy.
Now votes for Europeans are possible: http://www.we-change-europe.eu
The Europeans are enlarging their Union!
The Europeans elect their President!

I was given the suggestion to use minute rice in my cream ale, well I went to get some from the pantry and all there is is brown minute rice. Has anyone ever used it or does anyone know the effects of brown might be? Does it even have a chance to to get any fermentables out of a mash?
I suspect you'd have to cook brown rice for a long time (overcook, basically boil it to mush) before you'd get anything useful out of it in the mash. Otherwise it'll be way too hard for any of the starches to be accessible. I have no idea what the effect would be once cooked, but I bet it would be tough to sparge :-)
remember it is minute rice. so I would think it will soften quickly like white minute rice. I just don't know if the starches will convert to sugar.
Pretty much any kind of starch will convert to sugar as long as you meet two basic requirements: - There have to be enzymes to do the conversion (usually achieved by mixing 2-row base malt with whatever other source of starch you want to mash) - The starch has to be accessible to the enzymes (usually achieved by grinding up the barley, but for harder and non-malted grains will require cooking) So as long as you have a decent amount of base malt, and as long as you cook it enough to make the starches soluble, you should be fine.
Any minute rice will work just fine. I doubt vey much the slight tinge of brown in the brown minute rice will translate to a darker SRM...especially if you're using like 1 pound per 5-gallon batch.

Introduction of the Sapphire R9 270X 2GB Vapor-X OC
Lately we've had a chance to look at a whole slew of AMD video cards ranging from some of the more budget friendly mid-level options to some of the most expensive single GPU options from the company. Today, we're checking out the mid-range R9 270X 2GB, under the much loved Vapor-X name.
The R9 270X 2GB has always been a strong mid-range model from AMD, and has performed well since it has launched. Along with some strong performance, the model also hit at a great price point, making it a great option for people who don't want to spend too much money.
The Vapor-X line of cards from Sapphire has always performed extremely strong, but we can't deny that our focus has been on the higher-end versions of AMD cards lately. It will be interesting to see just how the series goes on with the mid-range based R9 270X 2GB.
Instead of testing the card at the out of the box speeds, we'll be firing up MSI Afterburner to see just what kind of performance we can get out of the card via overclocking, and see if the Vapor-X name can stay strong. But first, let's see what's going on with the packaging for the card.
Package - What comes inside the box
Taking a look at the front of the box, you can see the typical Vapor-X setup, which sees the black and blue combination. Across the top, you can see the Vapor-X R9 270X name. Moving down from there, we have the brand, and some of the main features.
The main features listed include the fact this card is an overclock edition, it comes with 2GB of GDDR5, and it carries the Dual-X cooler with Vapor-X technology.
Turning the box over, you can see we've got a bit of a blurb on the left hand side. The right hand side gives us a run down on the same features, which again include the Vapor-X cooling technology and Dual-X cooler.
Moving inside, you can see the normal Sapphire bundle, which includes the Quick Install Guide, and a leaflet on the Sapphire Select Club.
We've also got a Driver CD, DVI to VGA connector, CrossFire Bridge, two Molex to 6-Pin PCIe Power Connectors, and the standard HDMI cable that Sapphire so often includes with their higher-end models. It's great to see them offer the HDMI on the mid-range R9 270X 2GB.
PRICING: You can find the Sapphire R9 270X 2GB Vapor-X OC for sale below. The prices listed are valid at the time of writing, but can change at any time. Click the link to see the very latest pricing for the best deal.
United States: The Sapphire R9 270X 2GB Vapor-X OC retails for $199.95 at Amazon.
Canada: The Sapphire R9 270X 2GB Vapor-X OC retails for CDN$263.95 at Amazon Canada.

Rocking the Sun Hat
2011-07-20 12:43:00
The summer is ahead, so it's time to celebrate!
My favorite way to kick off the summer is to spend a day outside on a beach chair with a margarita and iPod to listen to my favorite music, where ever you plan to go or what ever you plan to do the concept remains the same : And what better way to celebrate summer than by dressing for the sun? Always around but now rising in popularity thanks to the comeback of 70's fashion trend those floppy sun hats you've seen on celebrities are hotter than ever. Once reserved just for the beach, these babies now are popular to wear with casual outfits, too. Not only do these hats look super chic, but they will protect your beautiful face from harmful sun rays and keep you cool!

Very good leaves my hair looking very good and to the woman with blond highlights below you are not meant to use it after highlights as it can tone them to a darker colour so use it b4 a colour or a few days after
Makes my very processed and colores hair feel silky soft... and dont get me started on the smell! Mmm can smell it all day!:) worth every cent:)
How come there is NO information about the ingredients in this product?
It is nice to be ahead of the curve since I have been using k-pak reconstruct or for years. It does a great job and my clients love the results.
I was given a free sample at an Ulta they opened in my town. It worked really well on my colored (extremely long) hair. My hair was glossy, non-static, and very smooth looking. I'm also wondering how often I can use it, maybe daily?

Labor Ruling May Be Tipping Point For College Sports
By Tom Goldman
Originally published on Thu April 3, 2014 7:53 am
Last week, a National Labor Relations Board ruling gave football players at Northwestern University the right to unionize. Northwestern is challenging the decision. The NCAA supports the appeal.

""I've got a list of corporations that have gotten out of their airplanes [because of criticism from politicians]. It is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. When you look at the time and cost savings; it does not make sense not to fly [privately]. You can't let public perception interfere with your business decision to fly. It either is a good business decision or it isn't.""
Bizav Accidents Decline, but Fatalities Rise
For the first quarter of this year, business aviation accidents, including those with fatalities, declined from the same period in 2008, according to Boca Raton, Fla.-based industry safety analyst Robert E. Breiling Associates. The number of aviation-accident deaths increased, however.
The statistics, particularly those for the turboprop segment, were skewed by the March 22, 2009 crash of a Part 91-operated Pilatus PC-12 in Butte, Mont., which resulted in 14 deaths. The total of 18 fatalities in the turboprop category was double the number in the same period last year, while three fewer accidents were recorded in this segment. The business jet category saw three nonfatal accidents in the first three months of 2009, the same as in the first quarter of last year, but suffered no fatal crashes as opposed to two fatal accidents resulting in seven deaths last year. Fractional operators demonstrated exemplary safety records, with no accidents in the first quarter of either year.

Request Timberlite® Veneer Samples Here>
Design by Miguel Herranz, 2005.
By LZF.
Two stamped wooden veneer sheets, mounted to a pattern which lends them torsion and dynamism, make up the shade of the Mini Mikado lamp. The stamped wooden strips design in the air a shape charged with sensuality, as well as adding an overall lightness to the piece and creating interesting plays of light and shadow. The strips give the shade a volumetric richness that changes according to the viewing angle.
LZF's wood veneers are selected to reveal the best natural wood grain effects when illuminated and all have been sourced from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council - FSC. Nothing comes close to the beauty of these veneers as a diffusion material and no other veneer treatment gives the strength and the protection to the material without sacrificing the delicacy and subtleness that this natural material communicates when illuminated.
Available in choice of colors, with brushed nickel canopy and detailing.
The Mikado family of fixtures won the Design Plus prize in the 2006 edition of Light and Building in Frankfurt, and 2008 Good Design Award.

Three ambitious and competent candidates are seeking the Republican seat in Lake County Board District 10 that is being vacated by Diana O'Kelly after 20 years. Mundelein Trustee Terri Voss is an outspoken, tireless advocate for business. Cornelius "Connie" Shanahan, a Fremont Township board member, offers career expertise in the road-building industry that would be valuable. But our endorsement goes to Chuck Bartels, a retired CEO of Manpower franchises in northeastern Illinois. Though he has not sought public office until now, he is no stranger to Lake County politics, and his list of civic involvement, past and present, is extensive. He not only recognizes the importance of public-private partnerships, he lives them and touts a long list of accomplishments. He has served on boards and affiliated with a wide array of entities including those related to education, transportation, health care, and charitable and youth organizations. He is dedicated to the well-being of county government and focused on creating good jobs through economic development while maintaining the quality of life Lake County residents are accustomed to. Bartels has the skill set, drive and personal contacts needed to create positive outcomes in Lake County.

Hollins and 14 other private nonprofit colleges in Virginia will engage in a three-year program designed to help them navigate the complex legal, regulatory, and technical challenges associated with installing solar systems, leverage group purchasing power to achieve price reductions for hardware and installation services, and create a learning network accessible by other organizations considering solar power.
LeeRay Costa, who teaches gender and women's studies and anthropology at Hollins, says she is "eager to understand Cuban perspectives on women's and LGBT rights, race relations, environmental sustainability, and food justice."
The January 27 event is intended to promote discussions in and among local college communities about equal rights and the need to continue to build "the beloved community" espoused by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In recognition of King's life and work, members of the campus community will present poems, songs, and original works and then engage in volunteer activities with several Roanoke Valley non-profit organizations.
A 1975 graduate of Hollins, Rev. Dr. Cynthia Hale is founding and senior pastor of Georgia's Ray of Hope Christian Church and has been hailed for her leadership, integrity, and compassion.
Features include easy navigation, a refreshed look, and clean content to provide a user-friendly online experience. The site also boasts a new responsive design to accommodate the increasing amount of web traffic that comes from tablets and mobile devices.
"The festival is the major showcase for our plans, hopes, and dreams to make Roanoke and Hollins a major national force in the development of new work for the American stage," says Ernie Zulia, director of the Hollins Theatre Institute.
A standout student-athlete at Bridgewater College, Katherine Lawson was an assistant volleyball coach for Roanoke County's Hidden Valley High School during its two consecutive final four appearances in the state tournament.
Putting together navigation plans, learning more about the Roanoke Valley, touring with a children's theatre production, producing comic books and graphic novels, researching the history of Hollins University, and even identifying and avoiding BS are some of the distinctive course offerings engaging Hollins students during the school's January 2015 Short Term session.
Eight students from Hollins and six from Roanoke represented Tunisia and Gabon, respectively, at the American Model United Nations Conference in Chicago.

At Jim McLean Golf School, all students have an impressive audience: an experienced teacher, and the mountains on the horizon. The school offers group and private lessons on its driving range, chipping green, putting green, and nine-hole course. As clients work on perfecting their swing, JC golf-swing analysis software helps chart weak points and suggest solutions, and the staff doles out personalized pointers on everything from form to what putter would best fit your body. Some packages even bundle classes with lunch and time on the nearby 18-hole Red Ledges course. During the winter, lessons can relocate to an indoor facility in Heber City, where a simulator recreates the course experience on an enormous screen.
Extreme athletes banded together to design Spartan Races' intense courses orchestrated over standardized distances, each strewn with natural and man-made obstacles to test mind-body fitness, resilience, stamina, and strength, designed to leave participants exhausted and exhilarated. In waves of 200, runners collect smudges and stains as they perform box jumps, haul heavy sandbags, and juke feral linebackers. Depending on where in the world they're participating, the course may be as short as 3 miles or, for extremely practiced athletes, as long as a full marathon.
A graduate of massage and chiropractic school, Dr. Jared Mangum now tends to spines and posterior muscles with services that draw on his medical knowledge and nimble fingers. Guided by cutting-edge research conducted by his peers and at his own evidence-based practice, Dr. Magnum tailors massages to focus on individual aches and pains. His signature cocktail of deep-tissue, Swedish, and trigger-point modalities keeps stressors guessing as he surrounds them on all sides with plentiful soft-tissue work.
Though Dr. Mangum certainly counts relaxation among his many goals, one would be mistaken to think of A Balanced Life Chiropractic as simply a spa. The center earns the final word of its name from a suite of medically oriented therapies that address chronic spinal conditions. Chiropractic adjustments and flexion-distraction treatments, among others, aim to neutralize ailments caused by accrued tension or winters spent on iceberg-riddled waterbeds. While the doctor arrives at a diagnosis, staffers ask that you help yourself to the office's WiFi and a complimentary beverage.
Studio owner Julie Branham and her team of registered yoga instructors at Lifted Life Yoga support students? fitness goals by urging them toward a lifestyle driven by health and fitness, fostering an inclusive studio atmosphere where students of all abilities can develop their body awareness and hone yoga skills. Beginners can master the basics in patiently paced 60-minute classes where they follow instructors through muscle- and ligament-awakening stretches and breathing exercises to clear the mind. Once the knowledgeable teachers have successfully persuaded students over to the stretchy side, a plethora of specialty sessions geared to more experienced students addresses specific physical needs such as hot yoga, whereas ongoing power Vinyasa classes pay constant homage to the solar system's temperamental fire ball with a series of sun salutations.
In olden days, people showed off their strength by jousting or flexing their mustaches. But at Maverik Man Games, both men and women prove their mettle with less violent feats of strength, such as launching a fellow teammate from a giant slingshot. Designed for individuals as well as teams, the competition encompasses up to 10 challenges, which range from showcasing your basketball-shooting skills to wrestling pigs into a barrel. Along with its land-bound activities, Maverik Man Games includes a variety of aqua-centric events, such as a giant rope swing and human slingshot.
Held over two days, the eccentric decathlon takes about two to three total hours to complete. Participants that place in the top three overall or for each challenge are rewarded with cash and prizes. And, all participants are likewise rewarded at the end of the circuit with tasty food, and live music.
A young Dan Clark was drawn to holistic healing methods after witnessing the efficacy of acupuncture and herbal medicine against his father's Epstein-Barr virus. His fascination with the body's ability to heal itself and to fit inside a high-school locker encouraged him to study massage therapy and acupuncture, and he now guides the treatments he administers at his own clinic. With a repertoire of techniques that, aside from acupuncture, includes herbal remedies, cupping, and moxibustion, Dan aids patients in coping with a wide range of ailments, such as insomnia, headaches, and anxiety.

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.

we don't really have that many great sources for Mexican news in English.
The articles that are in English are mainly what I went and dug up today.
If you guys decide that a Memo sweep is necessary you'll have to talk to
Stick or Kristen about it first. I'm happy to do it but they're in charge

I can't remember if I said this already, but since this is the first Mexico Econ sweep (and mock up Mexico Econ Memo), we need to find out what happened last week in Mexico as well. So whenever you get to it, please don't disregard development that happened last week; those will be helpful.
Once I get more clarity/feedback from Rodger on the mockup, we can tailor the sweep, but for this first one I say we just see what we get. Thanks again, Clint.

We are completely redoing our old house, building the bathroom from scratch basically, so we can do pretty much anything we want. We are planning a freestanding air tub for two, probably 66 or 72 inches long, so that gives us a little less room for the shower, but it looks like we'll still be able to make it 60 x 42 (and can probably gain a few more inches on the width actually, and if we do a 66 inch tub, can probably gain a few inches lengthwise for the shower), which should be OK. We want it to be able to be used by two, though most of the time it will probably be only one of us using it. We would of course have liked to make it bigger, but it seems like this is the best we can do if we want it all. We are thinking a normal shower head on the wall opposite the bench, a rain shower overhead, and a handheld on the long wall, reachable from the bench. We are contemplating a steam shower, as the SO has pretty serious asthma and allergies, so think this would be good for her lungs. One concern she has though is that if it is fully enclosed, it would be stuffy when she is taking a normal shower, but I've seen some things where you can do a glass transom, so that seems like a solution. Also, of course, if we're doing the steam shower we need the full bench, which does take away from floor space. But just generally looking for feedback on this design - this seems to be the best we and the contractor can come up with, but of course wanted to put it out there for any fresh ideas. Please let me know any questions, and thanks so much for looking! |

I have a 60 x 42 tub with shower surround. The tub would be too short for two people or one tall person and not really wide enough, either - you have to figure 42 is generally the outside dimension, not the useable interior dimension. To relax and stretch out you need the 72 or you have to sit bent kneed in a 60 length. As a shower, it's too small for two. You end up elbowing the other person. I think you're trying to get one too many things out of your space. Your space is quite tight for a two person bathroom, even your vanity real estate is borderline too small and your walkway really more narrow than it should be for a two person bathroom. The whole room will be cramped and uncomfortable. I'd suggest going to a fixture store and physically trying two people in different tub sizes to see how it actually feels, space-wise. And mock up a cardboard shower to size, and try it out with two people. |
Thanks so much for the feedback! Maybe I was not clear in my original post, but the tub will either be 66 or 72 inches, not 60. I definitely agree that a 60 inch tub would be too short. The shower is going to be completely separate, so that will likely be 60 inches long, by 42, or maybe a little more. I also completely agree that the walkway is too narrow. In fact, I was arguing with my contractor about that this morning, he was trying to convince me that it was big enough, but I know it's just not. So we're going to address that issue (which may end up allowing us to add a few inches to the width of the shower). The whole problem has been this window in the water closet, that affected where that wall could be, but we're just going to bite the bullet and change that window (it pains me greatly, because we just paid a fortune to fix up these old casement windows, but I think we are going to change it to a single casement, instead of a double, then we will be able to push that wall back at least a whole foot, so will be able to add 6-10 inches to the walkway, and a few to the shower). Thanks again! |

Yeah, my bad on the tub measurement - I was up in the wees talking to customer fraud rep in India - someone put a huge charge on my card. So not a lotta sleep last night. In a 60 inch tub, a medium or short person can stretch their legs but not while submerged up to one's neck in hot water. Sixty six inches, you get to do this if you are a tall man. If you are a tall man, you don't get to have straight legs and sink low into the water until you go to 72 inches. And 42 wide is pretty thin for two bodies when you subtract for the actual width! 48 would be much more comfortable. Also, make sure your floor can handle the weight of all this! The shower, the 42 width seems ok but not generous for width (it's do-able, though, without being cramped much), but 60 length is a bit too short for two people not to have to be quite careful. I think 72 would be good. There's nothing like actually blocking out the space and trying it, keeping in mind that in a shower you need more space than when dry as sometimes you are "blind" when your eyes are shut from soap, etc. so you need more margin. In such a large shower I'd pay extra attention to how drafty and cold it could be if you are not able to concentrate the heated vapors well. A huge open shower can be cold due to drafts! |
No worries at all! Sorry to hear about your troubles (that actually happened to me recently, except that it was tons of smaller charges). I am not that tall actually, only 5'8", and the lady is 5'4", so I'm thinking that maybe we should go with 66, give a few more inches to the shower. Although we did sit in a 72 inch one the other day and it did not seem overly big. But we're gonna try to hit up another store or two this weekend, so we'll see. Also, you'll be happy to hear that we've changed the layout of the bathroom a fair bit, I think it's going to work much better. We are changing that window in the toilet room, so we will push that wall back, and that will give us room to stick the vanity between the tub and toilet room, so when you walk in it will be a nice open space. And with this change, we'll definitely be able to add probably 5-6 inches to the shower width, so that will be nice. As far as length, I certainly agree that a 72 inch shower would be better, but I think it is what it is (the exterior wall abuts the stairwell). We'll probably mostly just use it together for the steam shower, so should be OK. And since it will be a steam shower, it will be completely enclosed (we're planning to put it in a glass transom). Thanks again!! |

Student Research
I. Why Research
(a) Personal Incentives
Doing research is possibly the most rewarding academic and intellectual experience you can experience at Penn. For at least one semester, you (with the guidance of your faculty supervisor) can decide to focus on what you want to study in great depth and tailor the research accordingly (rather than have the agenda of the course set by an instructor teaching to many students.) You have the freedom to conduct this research at your own time, with some basic deadlines being the only constraints.
It is a tremedous thrill to see your work published - in student journals at Penn or in academic peer reviewed publications. In 2013 PPE student research (subsequently published in a journal), was cited by a Harvard Law Professor writing for the UChicago Law Review. Many of our students publish their research in the PPE journal: students interested in publishing their research there should contact the editorial board at ppejournal@sas dot upenn dot edu
(b) Professional Incentives
On a more practical level, research embellishes your transcript, usually returns good grades, and gives you a taste of what you will be doing a lot more of in graduate school. If the research is for your honors theses, then it will appear as a distinction on your transcript.
(c) PPE Academic Incentives
The PPE curriculum makes it especially easy to incorporate research into the major and we encourage research very strongly. Theoretically, students can fulfill their entire 4 credits of thematic requirements by doing research (provided the research they are doing is relevant to their theme, of course). Almost all Capstones have a research component built in to the class structure. And, because of the interdisciplinary nature of the PPE program, our undergraduates are able to cut across boundaries and collaborate with a variety of faculty in an array of subjects. In the past PPE students have done research on topics in applied ethics, economics, law, political science, public policy, psychology, political philosoph, social work and other fields.
II. How to get started
Students wanting to do research need:
(1) Some prior basic knowledge of the field they want to do research in. Doing research should be at least as challenging as taking a junior or senior year course. This typically means you have taken a couple of classes in the area, enough to form an educated hypothesis that you wish to investigate.
(2) A willing faculty supervisor to guide the research. This could be someone whose class you have taken in the past (and hopefully done well in) or someone you happen to know in some other way (perhaps worked for that person, or been directed to that person by some other faculty member).
(3) Passion and time to make this happen.
PPE does not have much leeway in helping you with step 2, except to remind you that we have a set of young scholars in residence with a diverse group of interests (see especially the Post-Doctoral scholars and Research Fellows mentioned in this page: http://www.sas.upenn.edu//ppe/People/ppe.html). Many of them teach PPE Capstones for our students. This is a resource that you are strongly encouraged to use, especially if you have trouble finding a member of the standing faculty to serve as advisor: young scholars may be more aware of the cutting edges of the discipline, and be able to give you more time.
III. Administrative Steps for starting
These are really minimal. Once you have found a willing supervisor, simply send an email to ppemajor at sas dot upenn dot edu. Copy your supervisor and mention a few words about the research. The research needs to be related to your theme if you are planning to use it for that purpose. If you are doing it for an elective credit or simply to fulfill honors requirements, it needs to at least related to PPE (even if not your theme) for us to give you a pemit (see next paragraph).
If you are doing the research before your senior year or you cannot reasonably expect to attain a 3.6 GPA in the major by the time you graduate, we will issue you a permit for PPE 299 - Independent Study. If you are a senior and can expect to graduate with a GPA of 3.6 or above in the major, you are eligible to graduate with honors in PPE and in that case we will issue you a permit for PPE 301 (Directed Honors thesis). Please mention your choice in the email and If you have both options available, use the 301 option as it appears as a distinction on your transcript. Note that you need to be in the class before Add period ends for the semester.
Sometimes, faculty in different departments (such as PSCI) would prefer that you enroll for an independent study in their department. Even if this is the case, please still send the email mentioned earlier to ppemajor at sas dot upenn dot edu.
IV. Deadlines and other formalities
Since the research is being done in a credit bearing class, the instructor will assign a grade. This grade needs to be turned in by the day grades are due for all other classes for the respective semester (Jan 1 for fall, 3 days after end of exams in spring, and 3 days after end of classes in the respective summer sessions). Note that this means that you must discuss with your advisor how early the last draft of the paper needs to be turned in to him or her, so that the paper may be comfortably evaluated in time to meet the grading deadlines.
Finally the process is not complete until we receive a copy of the completed work at ppemajor at sas dot upenn dot edu
V. Research Support
PPE has a small amount of funds for student research, which must be conducted under the supervision of faculty at Penn. In general, students are encouraged to apply for funding from other sources, as our resources are unlikely to cover the demand for such funds. The primary College Resource for such opportunities is CURF.
1.Students who believe they have a viable research proposal should fill out this form, and send it to ppemajor at sas dot upenn dot edu.
2. Students should not make any plans based on obtaining the research funds until they have been formally notified about the amount they will receive.
VI. Information for Research Superviors
(1) Students are required to be formally enrolled in a class, such as PPE 299 or PPE 301 or an independent study class in the supervisor's department.
(2) PPE leaves the nature of the research paper to be jointly determined by the supervisor and student. There are no minimal number of pages - an Economics thesis might be shorter, and a Political Science thesis longer. Generally speaking, the thesis should be a substantial body of intellectual work that may be expected from a upperclassman student doing research.
(3) After the student has found a supervisor and agreed upon a plan of research, and the kind of work that is expected made clear, the student should inform PPE in writing, and provide the email address of the supervisor (see section III above).
(4) Honors theses work may not be completed after graduation.

The Age Of The Customer Requires A Shift In Monitoring Focus
Posted by John Rakowski on March 28, 2014
In my February 2014 report: Left–Shift Technology Monitoring For Success In The Age Of The Customer I explore what the near future will bring for technology monitoring approaches and solutions. Today, for the typical I&O organization, successful technology or service delivery monitoring focuses on two main areas. Firstly, availability, so ensuring the technology underpinning business services is up and available when needed and secondly, performance, so making sure that technology utilized (applications and associated workloads) is fast enough for the business service it supports.
There is a major problem with this approach though. As the famous author Harper Lee stated "We know all men are not created equal" and the same can be said about your customers and employees – they are not all equal and the rapid pace of consumer technology innovation in areas such as mobile means that they will utilize technology in different ways to support productivity or to engage with your enterprise as a customer. Our relationship with technology is changing rapidly. It is becoming more intimate and personal, meaning that datacenter centric monitoring approaches that focus on availability and performance alone, while still essential, are only the beginning of what is required for a holistic technology monitoring strategy.
In the age of the customer, it's increasingly easy for your customers and even employees to switch to another technology provider. They will do this if they feel their experience needs are not being met from the technology based services provided. Experience can be broken down into three simple facets - 1) Does the technology based service meet needs? 2) Is it easy to use? and 3) Is it enjoyable? The technology monitoring market in recent years has evolved from a focus on infrastructure monitoring, to application monitoring and the emergence of End User Experience Monitoring/Management (EUEM). EUEM looks to understand technology based business service performance from an employee or increasingly a customer perspective. However, many methods that I see in the market today are still application-centric in their monitoring approach e.g. the operator configures monitoring based on specified applications.
This means that many EUEM implementations fail to understand the full employee or customer journey. This includes how they use technology in in order to be productive within the enterprise or how they engage with enterprises, externally as customers. To understand the full technology interaction journey requires a more detailed form of end user monitoring which we define as End User Behavior Monitoring.
End User Behavior Monitoring has the capability of monitoring all interactions or activity between employees/customers and the technology they use, i.e consumer devices and applications. The aim here is not to alert, but to build up a detailed understanding of how the various types of business user or personas interact with business services so as to ensure that experience is tailored appropriately. The following graphic summarizes this form of monitoring and its relation to other monitoring approaches on the market today:
Of course, end user behavior monitoring may ring alarm bells in regards to data privacy, but as our relationship with technology becomes increasingly more personal then I expect some of these concerns to fade away along with associated legislation.
So what are your thoughts here? I would love to hear them and if you are a Forrester client then my report highlights the concepts of End User Behavior Monitoring in detail. I also have an associated report coming out in Q2 2014 which looks at solutions on the market today which are capable of doing this form of monitoring within the enterprise.

Vancouver petitioner says not so fast on state's redistricting plan
A Vancouver man wants the state Supreme Court to toss out Washington's new legislative and congressional maps.
Seattle Times political reporter
Challenge to redistricting plan
A Vancouver man is asking the state Supreme Court to toss out Washington's new legislative and congressional district maps, arguing the bipartisan panel that drew them up flouted constitutional and legal guidelines.
John Milem, a retired attorney, filed a petition with the state Supreme Court on Wednesday, seeking to invalidate the maps.
Milem, who has closely followed the redistricting process for decades, argued in his court filing that the new districts don't meet legal requirements for compactness, equal representation and encouraging electoral competition.
The Washington State Redistricting Commission agreed on new legislative and congressional district maps in January. The plan included the creation of the state's new 10th Congressional District centered on Olympia.
The panel was made up of two Republicans and two Democrats, so its work was bipartisan — but not nonpartisan.
The commissioners made no secret of their intent to largely protect incumbents of both parties. And Milem said that was evident in the congressional maps.
For example, Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert's 8th Congressional District, previously a suburban swing district, was redrawn to become more rural and solidly Republican.
Similarly, the 2nd and 9th congressional districts were redrawn to be safer for their Democratic incumbents, U.S. Reps. Rick Larsen and Adam Smith.
"We've lost electoral competition in those districts as a result of the plan," said Milem.
Despite a state constitutional requirement that districts be, to the extent possible, "compact and convenient," Milem pointed to several legislative districts that appear oddly shaped. For example, he described the 18th Legislative District near Vancouver as "one arm short of a swastika."
Milem submitted his own plans to the commission showing how maps could be drawn free of partisan considerations.
Whether Milem has a shot at overturning the redistricting plan is not clear.
No redistricting plan has been overturned by the courts since the current redistricting commission system began in 1991. However, courts did overturn Legislature-drawn redistricting plans in the 1960s and 1970s.
Tim Ceis, the former Seattle deputy mayor who was one of the Democratic members of the redistricting commission, said he's confident the maps will pass legal muster.
"We think we are well within the requirements of the constitution and state law and federal law," he said.
If the state Supreme Court were to nix the maps, the court would have to draw up alternative plans by March 1.
Redistricting is done once a decade to reflect the latest census and population changes.

For those of you who asked about my lack of photo posts, I've been out of town this past week. Last week, the thrips had most of my established blooms under siege. Now, without watering during this week's heat wave, the foliage is browning and looking ratty. Also several of my plants are not putting up scapes this year. Others are very, very late this year. Here's SPACECOAST FRANCIS BUSBY, new to my garden this spring. There are not many buds because it's new and hasn't settled in. The first scape bloomed at the end of May when it was still cool, so I can't give you a report about sunfastness. I do like the gold edge with the intense orangey red. |

Carefree Sunset is blooming here too. It supposedly gets better as the weather warms up. Alas, it has been a very uncomfortably humid week here. I hope CS doesn't require much more heat to show its best (actually, only a few blooms have opened, so there are lots more to come). Your blooms all look free of damage. Astral Voyager disappointed last year (low bud count); will see about this year. |
Mantis - My husband and I sprayed every bud in the garden before I left on my trip Monday, and it seems to have helped a lot. Of course, I don't take take photos of blooms with extensive thrip damage. The buds on four whole clumps of spidery daylilies were destroyed so badly none will open properly. Astral Voyager always does pretty well here in the bud department. It has fewer this year than past years, 15-16, but still and acceptable amount. Debra |

It happens sometimes to have an off year however you still have a nice selection of blooms. I'm sure you will still have some treats for us as the season progresses. Julia |

My favorite is the first Spacecoast intro, with that great fiery color combination. Am I mistaken that you didn't like reds/oranges before? Your MB seedling is also attractive. Love that green throat. |
Chris - Hot colors used to be my least favorite. But the sunfast ones in those colors look so much better on very hot, humid days than the lavenders, pinks and creams. I just stopped at Tennessee's new Welcome Center and saw the state had landscaped the front of the building with all tall yellow, gold, and orange daylilies. That combination looked fabulous and just sparkled in the 92 degree heat. By comparison, my plants in the "cool" colors looked washed out and anemic when I got home. So I'm coming around to those colors. Debra |

Greengirls Helen Yarmoska, Nicole Hvidsten, Martha Buns, Connie Nelson, Kim Palmer and Mary Jane Smetanka are dishin' the dirt from the back-yard garden and beyond. Whether you're a greenthumb or greenhorn, they're eager to learn from your mishaps, mistakes - and most importantly, your sweet successes - all growing season long.
I took a long walk the other night. It was twilight, that magical time when the summer sky darkens to deepest blue -- and the mosquitos start to zing.
At a wooded area near the path leading into a wetland, I saw a tiny pulse of light. It was a firefly! I stopped to peer into the woods and saw another. Then another. They twinkled against the trees, putting on an enchanted lightshow that kept me so transfixed that I just stood there, watching, oblivious to the mosquitos feasting on my flesh.
I've always loved fireflies. Who doesn't? I can still remember moments from childhood, playing night games in the neighborhood, as fireflies winked in dusky back yards and the moms started calling us indoors for the night.
Then we moved to southern California, when I was 8. There were no fireflies but there was Disneyland. Next to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride there was a restaurant, the Blue Bayou, that evoked a Louisiana swamp at twilight. Thanks to Disney magic, its atmosphere included the sound of crickets and the flicker of fake fireflies. I always begged for our family to eat there when we visited the Magic Kingdom.
I don't see a lot of fireflies in my neck of suburbia these days. Stumbling across that cluster of them the other night made me wonder why I don't see them more often. Apparently I'm not the only one. Fireflies appear to be declining.
Some think herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers might be killing the lightning bugs. There's also speculation that development and the proliferation of artificial light is shrinking habitat and interfering with mating. Fireflies find their mates by flashing, and they must be able to see the flash and return it.
Scientists are concerned to the point that they're asking a network of back-yard volunteers to track the bugs' range and numbers. Firefly Watch, a project of the Boston Museum of Science, debuted in 2008. If you want to post your own observations, visit www.mos.org/fireflywatch
Have you seen any fireflies this summer? Where did you spot them? And are you seeing them less often than you used to?

Thanks, I've been looking everywhere for a sound like this for my RPG Maker game in development here: http://gamejolt.com/games/adventure/deidre/32181/
Used as the dressing sound effect for a game I'm working on. Fantastic sound.
Thanks a ton for this sound. I use it in my animation here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRMPgI5YxdY
