Course Description
CANCELLED This course provides a survey of 20th century politics in Mexico with an emphasis on political and economic development. Why did Mexico experience both political stability and economic growth until the 1970s while other Latin American countries experienced brutal military regimes? What accounts for the economic crises of 1982 and 1994? Why did the PRI lose in 2000 after 71 years in power? What are the prospects for the new government? The first portion of the course will examine the construction of post-Revolutionary political stability, the characteristics of the national political regime during the classic period of stability with economic growth, and the tumultuous political and economic episodes in the 1970s and 1980s. This material will be presented chronologically and will pay close attention to history, though unlike a history course, we will focus on explaining political and economic outcomes. Subsequently, we will examine important themes in Mexico's political and economic development during the past 20 years of enhanced political competition (i.e. democracy).
Grading Policy
Completing all readings and attending all lectures is essential for satisfactory performance. Depending on course size and teaching assistant support, students may be able to substitute a research paper for one of the exams.

As the Zen Circus chair proves, you don't need a traditional mat to get in a good yoga workout. Created by Alexia Moisan, Kevin Geffroy and Caroline Kermarrec, this interesting chair and hammock hybrid provides the user with a convenient way to practice yoga while at the same time functioning as a sleek and chic piece of furniture for the home.
The designers were inspired by anti-gravity yoga and created the hanging Zen Circus chair to enable users to do a variety of yoga-inspired exercises in the absence of gravitational effects. People can use the chair to tone their muscles, improve their flexibility through stretching exercises and also perform "acrobatic movements" in the comfort of their own home. When the Zen Circus chair isn't being used for yoga, it can be used as a hammock for kicking back and relaxing.

Press Releases |
For immediate release
Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival Announces First 2014-2015 Events Academic year starts with events in California, Michigan, Washington |
(PALO ALTO, CA — October 3, 2014)
The Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival is pleased to announce its first events of the 2014-2015 academic year, as part of its ongoing mission to provide a collaborative, non-competitive atmosphere for students to explore inspiring, thought-provoking problems with other kids and older mentors. Michigan State University's mathematics department hosts the year's first Festival in East Lansing on October 21. Then Da Vinci Junior High School in Davis, California and Annie Rice Schools in Tacoma, Washington State host their first-ever Festivals on October 25 and November 2, respectively. On November 8, the Festival returns to the San Mateo County (California) Office of Education, expanding to two sessions after last year's successful launch. More dates and locations are in the planning stages and will be announced soon.
Besides the San Mateo County event, last year's Festivals took place at Bay Area venues including UC Berkeley, Pixar Animation Studios, Google, Bentley School, and The Girls' Middle School; elsewhere in the U.S., there were Festivals in East Lansing, Seattle, Navajo Nation, Princeton, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Columbus, Ohio. First held at Google in 2007, the Festival provides an alternative to the competitive culture of math contests, with tables dedicated to different problems and activities, each with a mathematician standing by to offer guidance and encouragement without giving away too much. Says the Festival's Mathematics Director, Joshua Zucker, "We offer intriguing and challenging problems, puzzles, and activities, and a supportive setting for kids who like to take their time working on a problem. Students make whatever progress they make, they get help, they work with other kids, and eventually come to some kind of stopping point and go find another activity of interest." "We look forward to increasing the number of Festivals this year, which will allow us to give more students the chance to have fun doing challenging mathematics in a cooperative environment," says Festival Director Kristie Sallee. "We're delighted to hear from more and more parents and teachers asking about starting Festivals around the country, and we look forward to helping them." More information about each Festival, along with registration forms, is available at http://juliarobinsonmathfestival.org/register.php |

If there's one thing in this world that we do not have a lot of, it's time. I know this personally. As much as I would like to, with five kids I simply do not have time to put on a full face of makeup everyday. This inspired me to create a quick five minute beauty routine to help you feel your best when you are in a crunch for time. Each step requires no prep or a slew of tools needed, and you can have a beautiful face in no time!
Step One: BB Cream
You don't have time for the heavy application of foundation, it just requires too much. You need a product that you can just put on really quick and move on to the next task. This is what BB Cream is for. BB Cream primes, protects, refines and even provides SPF protection. Take a few drops and rub in your face with your fingers, or use a sponge!
Step Two: Blush
What a difference a blush makes! Blush is a product that never really took much effort, blend a little on the apples of your cheeks for a quick rush of color and done!
Step Three: Eyeshadow
We are not looking to apply and try to blend 8 colors into the lid, we just want a nice wash of color. Find a shadow that compliments your lip and blush color. You cant go wrong with a neutral color. Just one sweep across the lid and quickly blend up towards the brows. DONE!
Step Four: Lip Gloss
Three minutes down and we are almost done! Stay with me. Now we are going to apply a lipcolor. What's better than those handy balm pencils that you can literally use the line the lips and then fill in with a nice pop of color.
Step Five: Mascara
Homestretch! Find your favorite mascara that gives volume and length and apply it.
Look at you gorgeous! We are done here. You might even have a minute to spare.

The first incident occurred at around 1 a.m. Saturday morning, when a patrol vehicle observed a white Infiniti with tinted windows speeding and playing very loud music on Howard Street. The patrol officer attempted to stop the Infiniti, which instead sped off.
The Infiniti ran the stop sign at the intersection of Howard Street and the bypass, striking a second vehicle which, in turn, struck a third vehicle.
The Infiniti appears to have sustained some front end damaged, but escaped from the scene of the accident, Thomas said.
The drivers of the other two vehicles were checked out by paramedics, but both drivers refused treatment, he added.
The more recent accident took place Monday morning at about 11:18 a.m., when Lani Marie Bourgeios, 21, of Sylacauga, crossed the bypass in a 1996 Geo Metro on Renfroe Road.
Thomas said Bourgeios's vehicle was struck by a Freightliner truck driven by a 42-year-old Talladega man, who was not injured.
Bourgeios got out of her vehicle and walked over to paramedics on her own, Thomas said. She was transported to the emergency room of Citizens Baptist Medical Center with what Thomas described as "non-life-threatening injuries."
Anyone with information on the white Infiniti should contact Talladega police at 256-362-4508 or call the anonymous tip line at 256-299-0011.

Scarlett Lewis on Nurturing, Healing, Love - From Personal Tragedy to a Movement
in Self Help
"Today and every day, choose one loving thought over one angry thought and encourage every child you know to do the same." – Scarlett Lewis
Scarlett Lewis, mother of Jesse Lewis and founder of The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation is a new activist for peace. On December 14th, 2012, Scarlett's six-year old son, Jesse McCord Lewis, walked out of his house and down the driveway towards his father who was waiting to drive him to school. Along the way, Jesse stopped to write a message with his finger in the frost on his mother's car: "I love you." Just hours later, Jesse was gone. He was one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Connecticut.
Days prior, Jesse wrote three words on his chalkboard at home: "Nurturing. Healing. Love." Following Jesse's death, Scarlett wrote Nurturing Healing Love, the story of her journey from personal tragedy to a movement that can change the world. The Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation collaborates with educators to develop school-based programs to change our current culture of violence to one of safety, peace and love. Its single guiding principle and motto is - Teaching Others to Choose Love. Visit www.jesselewischooselove.org Watch "Choose Love."

I don't know why this setting spray has low ratings here because its such a good product! It makes my makeup stay looking fresh for hours and hours.. I guess people are not using it right..here are the steps I take to make this setting spray work wonders:
moisturize my face
spray the setting spray (2 or 3 pumps)
put on overall makeup
spray the setting spray again (2 or 3 pumps)
My makeup looks fresh for 12hours+...try it this way and see if it works for you.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This setting spray has officially become my holygrail and I cannot be without this. I have oily skin, really oily, so naturally I went for this type of setting spray. I use by spraying on after mousturizing (I use the cetaphil oil control moisturizer) in a X and T formation. I then prime my skin with smashbox photo finish primer AND becca cosmetics ever matte primer. Then I spray my foundation brush with elf cosmetics setting spray and apply my foundation with the brush, after all my makeup is on I spray the UB deslick in the same formation and I do not get as oily as before, I don't even have to touch up like I used to during the day (and I go a full 12 hours or more with my makeup) I wish that this helped with foundation transfer but sadly it doesn't, I don't think anything can keep foundation from doing that. I purchased the travel size which was $14 at ulta, $30 is a bit much for the full size bottle but sometimes you have to make that sacrifice for products that you kno work for you. I love the way this product sprays out, the mist is very thin and even and just feels good on the skin. When it dries it feels kinda tacky but not at all sticky or nasty. I don't have sensitive skin and this has not affected it anyway. There isn't a noticeable smell with this product so good news for the sensitive noses. If you have oily skin, try it!!
Not impressed with this product at all. I have combo skin and I didn't notice this spray doing any oil control whatsoever. In fact, I feel like it might have made me more oily. I went through a whole bottle of this trying it all different ways- spray before makeup, after foundation, after powder, etc. Same results. This definitely didn't make my makeup last any longer either. So, I really just use this to refresh my face during the day. I tried the all nighter setting spray a while back and recently repurchased it and I like that one a lot more than the de-slick. I feel like the all nighter actually has better oil control! And it definitely makes my makeup last all day/night.
Have used this for my extremely oily skin and tested my makeup with and without it for over a month and haven't noticed a difference in oiliness. I use clean and clear oil blotting sheets as my test to see if skin is more or less oily by midday. Was hoping this would help reduce oiliness by midday and haven't found it to.
Okay I'm seeing a ton of bad reviews on this but I can't go a day without this setting spray. It is quite expensive but I opted for the bigger bottle since I figured it would obviously be the better value ( and I could always return if I found I didn't like it ). I personally do not use this alone for oil control, I spray my face at first, then I follow with LORAC's mattifying primer, let it set, then apply my foundation. I have found this to be my holy grail application regardless of what foundation I'm wearing that day. I have oily skin and I can even use this with "luminous" or dewy foundations and they look flawless all day with no touch ups. I love love love this product and will definitely be buying again, along with backups!
Nope...this didn't work for me at all. I was just as oily by midday as I would be if I didn't apply this. Very expensive and didn't do what it claims. Mario Badescu Rosewater and Herbal Facial Spray does much better and is way less expensive.
I tried several different different ways of spraying this on my face but it does not apply evenly as it is a pump action bottle, I think an aerosol would be better. I did not find that it helped with the shine or oil that my skin produces. I purchase the deslick powder and found that much better :)
Hate the name and the pump. Product is ok, but I've found you really need to spray on a synthetic brush -- Sephora #50 powder-- and dab in oily prone areas. Afterwards I will go over with setting powder (despite directions) as it disturbs your makeup whether you spray or brush on. This will extend wear significantly except in high humidity & nothing can help that. BURNS undereyes, avoid!
I felt this product did nothing for me. When I applied the spray my face would still be oily after an hour or so.
More reviews by glamorgurlbeauty
I have only been using this for 4 days but i have already noticed a great change in the staying power of my makeup through out the day!
I know this is the oil control one it has helped a little bit with the oil because usually my makeup will slide right off but with this no matter how much hard lifting i do to break a sweat my makeup still looks nice!
I have noticed that with my drugstore cheap foundations this will help my makeup stay on all day even though it isnt perfect (usually with in 4-5 hrs my makeup has worn off)
My High end foundations look perfect and stay in place all day with this (usually lasting 6-8 hrs)

Hi, everyone!
I am new to gardening and also not familiar with lawn care in Tropical climate. We've got lots of crabgrass this summer. I used Weed B Gone for spot-treatment and most of them seem to be dead.

Here's my qestion, When is the best time to put down the crabgrass preventer here in Hawaii? Thank you for your time and any input will be greatly appreciated! |

I just bought a Brother SE 270D. I'm very excited about embroidering. I want to have other fonts, but am just doing basic embroidery for my kids, so I don't want to spend alot of money. I've been doing my research online and have been to several local sewing stores. I'm looking into buying a Ped Basic. Does anyone have one? And if so, are you happy with it? I've seen where you can buy fonts and monograms online. What I want to know is when I purchase that font and use the Ped Basic to put it on the card, can I go ahead and put the name together using the Ped Basic or will I do that once the card is in the machine? Also, has anyone done monogramming using the SE 270D from buying a monogram online? I would love to buy the Monogram Wizard Plus, but it's too expensive for right now. Any thoughts on Magic Box Elite vs. Ped Basic? Sorry this is so long, just trying to figure things out before I purchase anything. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd recommend checking out Embird rather than Ped Basic. You can download a free 30 day trial at www.Embird.com Embird software with either The Magic Box Elite or the Ultimate Box are the perfect combination for your machine. |

I just saw your post about PED Basic and you may have already purchased it by now. When I first got into machine embroidery, I bought PED Basic because I thought that was the only way to get the designs from my computer to my machine. I didn't realize that my machine had a USB port and I didn't need PED Basic because I can use a USB memory stick or connect my embroidery machine to my computer and transfer the designs directly. Anyway, I am embarrased to say that I used PED Basic for several months before I realized I didn't even need it. I had many problems with PED Basic --it's very limited and I wasn't happy with it. The only thing PED Basic is used for is a means to transfer the designs to your embroidery machine. You cannot do any embroidery editing with it. You will need machine embroidery editing software in order to merge designs, resize, change formats, etc. Basically you cannot use your machine to it's optimum without embroidery editing software. Embird is one of those. Another one is SewWhat-Pro. I tried the trial versions of both for 30 days before I decided which one to buy. I ended up buying SewWhat-Pro because I found it to be much more user friendly than Embird and also less expensive. I would recommend you try them both and see which one you prefer before making your decision to buy. You can get the free trial of SewWhat-Pro at www.sandscomputing.com. |

I bought a Soleus dehumidifier last August for my basement. I have it set up with a hose, for continuous usage. It's been working great and making my unfinished basement usable for my treadmill, which is great. In the last month, though, I've had a problem. After it's on for an hour or two, it starts making a loud knocking sort of noise, and I have to turn it off. The next day, it will be good for another couple of hours. Before I contact the company, does anyone know if this could be because it's running when it's not really humid in the basement? There's some humidity, but nothing like summer and fall. Thanks for any help. |

A dehumidifier is actually a small refrigeration unit that has an evaporator coil (cooling coil) mounted over a bucket or tank receiver, and it has a small fan to pull in the room air and pass it through the unit. When the unit is running correctly the evaporator coil is maintained at about 40degF so when the room air passes through the coil it is cooled to below its present "Dew Point" and the humidity (moisture) in the air condensates on the coil, then drips into the bucket or receiving tank, which in your case it also has a hose connected to the tank to drain it automatically instead of you having to empty a bucket once a day. The whole system is comprised of a compressor, which is sealed inside a welded steel canister, a small fan motor that is usually rather difficult to access, and here again, other than a serious failure of the motor, the is very little an untrained individual could do to repair it. It also has a condensing coil (cool coil) and an evaporator coil (when the heat absorbed in the cooling process is released, and both of those coils are primarily just a small loop of copper tubing that is welded together, and nothing that can be serviced by the owner. Your unit may have a filter on the air intake. If it does, it will most likely just be a simple foam filter like they use on a window AC, which can be taken out and rinsed with cold water to clean. The unit also has a "Humidistat" control that functions quite similar to a thermostat, but instead of having a bi-metal thermal sensor it has a sensor that is actually made out of human hair. When hair is wet it lengths and it shortens as it dries, so the control has a small lock of hair permanently attached on one end and the other end is attached to a movible contact arm so it can pull the switch contacts open as the hair dries and shrinks or turn the system on when the hair absorbs moisture, lengthens and allows the switch contacts to close. You want to check the air intake grille to make sure that nothing has fallen down and is blocking the air flow, and check to see if it has a filter that may need cleaning. Other than that, there is no other user repairs that you could do. Contact the MFG and see if it is still under warranty or where they recommend you have it repaired in your area. NOTE- although it is a basic refrigeration unit most HVAC & Refrig. companies will not work on them. |

Thanks, I'll do that. It's definitely still under warranty, but I wanted to see if there was something I could do about it first. |

A Canoe Cooler
Kathryn and Oliver used an old canoe belonging to Kathryn's parents as an ice and drinks cooler for their wedding, which took place overlooking the banks of a river in Connecticut. As a variation on that theme, old soda or beer coolers from vintage or thrift shops will lend the same kind of homey feel. Just be sure to have bottle openers nearby for thirsty guests.

I bought my mother's house/my childhood home from my sibs when my mom passed away in May. I have business reasons to go back to this little remote town in Northern Minnesota from time to time and even though I won't be there much, I wanted to get it into nice condition. My mother lived there for 60 years and it hadn't been updated/redecorated for decades. It is an exceptionally well-built house--plaster is still in quite fine condition, and it had a pretty fireplace with black marble hearth that wasn't showing up well with pale walls. So, since I don't have to live there 12 months a year, I decided to get brave. Called Emmett at Fine Paints of Europe and he helped me find a red that I like very much. Local painters did a great job with it, but now, what do I do next? Grey silk curtains? White lace? furniture? The floor was refinished--maple without stain. Here are a couple of pictures and I would really like some ideas. Big picture windows to the right of the fireplace on the front of the house. I think some Hollywood Regency things might suit it. The carpet on the floor is just temporary--keep the noise down...My mother used that Early American thing with Statton furniture, but it is most definitely not compatible with the direction I've been taking in the house. Would appreciate your good advice. |

I will let the forum pros give advice. I just wanted to say that the paint and floors look great. You are off to a fine start. |
Another picture with the piano that will remain there. Facing the back of the house, opposite the picture window. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Fri, Dec 13, 13 at 10:53
Is that red? On my machine it looks bright pink! |
It is red--called Drama Red in FPE, but has a quantity of magenta in it. Different light, different tones-- |
If you google FPE drama red, they have a picture of it that may be more accurate--at least, their photo looks like my room. |
- Posted by beverly27 (email@example.com) on Fri, Dec 13, 13 at 11:45
No lace, unless you're going for the cottage look. Red drapes would be dramatic with other strong accents. |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Fri, Dec 13, 13 at 11:54
That red is absolutely spectacular! I think a geometric or print for the drapes would be pretty going bold if you plan a plain rug or vice versa---bold rug, smaller geometric or print drapes. |
What a beautiful room! And love that the piano is already in position. My first gut feeling was white and black! You could do a comfy white sofa facing the fireplace, maybe flanked by a great chair....black or even a leopard (tiny) print. You might find a fantastic zebra-y type area rug (without the leopard chair) and could still jazz up the sofa with punches of colorful pillows. Since you will not be living there year-round, how about some great white panels from Ikea? Love your mirror and I could see lots of lovely glass candlesticks and vases, etc. Have fun with it! It has a great start. |
What a beautiful room and such a bold color choice. I keep trying to push myself to be so bold. I'll let the experts guide you, but I've done quite a bit of research on Hollywood Regency and have pinned a ton of rooms. As sc-irish mentioned, black and white are considered a classic combo in HR, and you have the piano and FP already. What are you thinking about in terms of seating? You could go all-white or cream and then anchor the space with a graphic white/red geometric rug or pillows. Drapery panels could be white silk or linen with a red grosgrain trim. Here's a bedroom example, but you get the general feeling, I think (except with a bit more black) |
Thank you all so much for these thoughts--the room looks bigger in pictures than it is--only 22 x 14 and the piano takes up a lot of space. So, my thought is to do four chairs instead of a sofa. I think the animal print--I've seen a few beautiful ones that are elegant and not too edgy--is the way to go for at least a pair of them. Keep the ideas coming! So helpful! |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Fri, Dec 13, 13 at 19:41
I'm not a designer, although "I know it when I see it." I can't think two or three steps ahead without making mistakes. So, my original thought for curtains had been a print, something like Lilac from Scalamandre==I do not know how to turn a web archive into jpeg or something upload able........but now realize it is probably too weak a print to stand next to the red. I had toyed with a one inch red and white silk check, but after I bought a sample, even the carpenter said, "looks too much like the kitchen." Contemporary Geometrics will be a direction I'm not interesting in doing here, and maybe white is too strong a contrast. Red, if I can find a match, maybe will be a good solution. Will grey be too faded? And then, another question. Am I an idiot to think of silk? I made silk curtains in my NJ house years ago. Those on the north side of the house are still good--those on the south, eaten up by the sun after a few years. I'm not up to sewing/dealing with a thousand yards of silk anymore, and wonder how one manages the picture window. Sheers underneath and just panels, or do I need to have a full curtain that can close completely to look correct.......if I do silk,I think the cost would be prohibitive for such a large window. Sorry for so many questions..... |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Sat, Dec 14, 13 at 14:58
How about red and brown? Sooooo classy! Love the idea of a print for the drapes. Would something like this work? |
Here is a link that might be useful: this
I'm bumping this back up and hope someone can chime in on using grey in this room--bad idea? Also, how to handle the picture window--panels enough? Or do I need a full, closing curtain? |
- Posted by beverly27 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Dec 17, 13 at 12:18
There are plenty of Faux Silk fabrics out there to choose from. Here is something I found on line. Not sure the colors work with your new painted walls, but you can request samples of their fabrics. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Half Price Drapes
Maybe you could show us a picture of your 'picture window' so we might have a better idea (as I tilt my head sideways to view the pics you have already shown us). I'm not 'feeling' the gray as yet....mostly because of the dramatic red, classic fireplace and beautiful floors....and the black piano. Whatever you use, I feel it would need to be full, very full. And since you mentioned you wouldn't be there year-round, I would think you'd feel better pulling them closed when you are away. Therefore, surely they need to be lined. - Maybe combined with a photo of your window.....and an idea of the gray you are thinking about....we could better lead you to your vision. |
Thank you again for taking the time to think about this. I've attached a photo of half of the picture window--it takes the whole wall but you can at least see the height of it. The grey I was thinking about would be medium to light color, with enough reflective properties to make it silvery in the light. Stripes are a thought, certainly--and I have absolutely no idea why the photo reads sideways--it shows up correctly in the original image.....Sorry! BTW, for chintz lovers, that's Clarence House Robin on the sofa. Always loved that. Gone to my brother! |
The statton furniture could be pretty valuable, it's high quality solid cherry. So you may want to keep a few pieces and update around them |
Petepie: I realize now that I sounded dismissive of the Statton furniture in my original post. I recognize that it is very good quality and will use it in other rooms. All the bedrooms are Statton, for example, so I can use extra pieces there, and in a family room. I just wanted to change the look of the living room, particularly. We were such good children--it is all in such good condition! |
Hope I didn't come across as a know it all! I was just thinking that you could get some money for the Statton and then buy what you want. So you probably would not want to refinish it, paint it etc. since there is a pretty strong market for high quality traditional furniture in good shape. |
No, Petepie--not a know-it all , at all! I just meant that I didn't want to have an Early American living room. Five siblings, and everyone took some of the Statton, but I got the bedrooms--and the poster beds and dressers are lovely. I wasn't kidding when I tell you the furniture is actually quite pristine. My mother skimped and saved to buy it, piece by piece. She wasn't going to have a tribe of bandit children destroying her house. And although I might paint a piece of mahogany of no particular provenance, I wouldn't dream of painting cherry. No, it will have its place. |

The biggest selling point of the Eee PC 1000HE is the system's excellent battery life, a product of a big six-cell battery and Asus' clever engineering. A large sticker on the wrist rest speaks of "One Day Computing," and promises up to "9.5 hours" of battery life. Naturally, getting anywhere close to that number requires a fairly rigid usage model. Asus says the 9.5 hours comes from running the system in power-saving mode, with the LCD set to 40-percent brightness, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned off, and the Webcam disabled.
In our standard video playback battery drain test, the system ran for 6 hours and 21 minutes, which is an extremely impressive number, slightly edging out the Acer Aspire One, and more than an hour better than the HP Mini 2140.
Asus covers its laptops with a standard, one-year, parts-and-labor warranty, and it offers online Web-based help and a toll-free phone number. The company's support Web site has improved much over the past few years, and includes easy-to-find driver downloads and a brief FAQ.

Hello all! Can anyone help in identifying the weed pictured below? My wife and I recently bought our house and the yard was obviously severely neglected for years, so I've begun quite the rehabilitation project at the beginning of spring. I'm thoroughly familiar with the Bermuda Bible and know what steps need to be taken over time, but my Google-fu failed while trying to figure out what this is. Tried a few weed ID tools and failed. I'm sure it's quite common and that I'm just overlooking it. The yard was a good 80% weeds at the start of green up, and I've started on the road of getting the turf healthy, but I needed some herbicide help on the weeds at first. Since I have more time than money, I did a full lawn spray of Weed B Gone a couple of weeks ago since Celsius is out of my wife-okay-with-it range (even with the $/SF argument). It took care of clover great, and dandelions fairly well, but this damn thing didn't budge, and it is quite prolific in the back yard. Any help would be appreciated! Michael |

You might need to take that to a local nursery and ask. You're going to have trouble with bermuda adjacent to the north, west, and east sides of your fences and buildings. Bermuda is a full sun plant. You might want to consider alternate ground covers or installing beds in those areas. |
I'm going to go with Veronica aka corn speedwell. Winter annual should die on its own soon. It's particularly hard to kill in the spring with a herbicide. A dense stand of turf going into fall will greatly reduce this weed, next spring. |

The many branches of Pets R Us Veterinary Hospitals are each filled with seasoned groups of vets and vet technicians. At Chapman Veterinary Hospital, for example, Dr. Samuel Azab puts to use more than ten years of experience and a special interest in surgery, internal medicine, and avian treatment. At any of the locations, pets can be treated for a variety of health concerns ranging from flea infestations to endocrine diseases. The hospitals are equipped with state-of-the-art medical devices, and some of them can conduct digital radiography, vaccinations, ultrasounds, and orthopedic surgery. Some facilities also provide boarding and grooming for non-medical concerns.
Founded in 2007 by certified master dog trainer Jaime Van Wye, Zoom Room fosters relationships between dogs and their owners through obedience and agility classes. Obstacles such as hurdles, hoops, and ramps populate the interactive indoor facility, helping energetic pups burn off steam, gain focus, and get in shape for roles summer stock productions of Homeward Bound. In addition to basic obedience courses, specialty classes for shy or overly rambunctious dogs build confidence through positive reinforcement and a controlled class environment. Dogs seeking less structured outings often romp through half-hour blocks of private gym time, working through the agility course at their own pace.
Zoom Room?s dog training facilities have one cardinal rule: owners must be present during class. This is because humans need just as much training as their canine companions when building confidence and communication, and it?s important that owners learn the best positive-reinforcement techniques from the knowledgeable staff. Group classes cover topics ranging from general obedience and agility training to more specific needs such as overcoming shyness. Other classes include Urban Herding, where dogs herd exercise balls into soccer goals indoors, Scent Work, where dogs learn to sniff out missing car keys or the TV remote, and Pup-lates, which is geared toward overweight or senior dogs, or those recovering from an injury.
In fact, improving canine social skills is one of Zoom Room?s missions, as evidenced by the regularly hosted fundraiser events and Doggy Disco parties, which give dogs a chance to meet other dogs and expand away from their inner circle of fire hydrants. This combination of training and fun, in addition to the facility?s selection of solution-oriented training gear, natural dog treats, and functional dog accessories, has garnered an array of local and national press.

Real-Time Depth-of-Field Rendering Using Anisotropically Filtered Mipmap Interpolation
Haptics and Virtual Reality Laboratory, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, POSTECH, San 31, Hyoja-dong, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyungbuk, 790-784, Republic of Korea
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2008
title={Real-time depth-of-field rendering using anisotropically filtered mipmap interpolation},
author={Lee, S. and Kim, G.J. and Choi, S.},
journal={IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics},
publisher={Published by the IEEE Computer Society}
This article presents a real-time GPU-based post-filtering method for rendering acceptable depth-of-field effects suited for virtual reality. Blurring is achieved by nonlinearly interpolating mipmap images generated from a pinhole image. Major artifacts common in the post-filtering techniques such as bilinear magnification artifact, intensity leakage, and blurring discontinuity are practically eliminated via magnification with a circular filter, anisotropic mipmapping, and smoothing of blurring degrees. The whole framework is accelerated using GPU programs for constant and scalable real-time performance required for virtual reality. We also compare our method to recent GPU-based methods in terms of image quality and rendering performance.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God; | 1 Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. |
2 receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we waste; no one did we defraud; | 2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. |
3 not to condemn you do I say [it], for I have said before that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with; | 3 I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you. |
4 great [is] my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation, | 4 I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds. |
5 for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without [are] fightings, within -- fears; | 5 For when we came into Macedonia, this body of ours had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn--conflicts on the outside, fears within. |
6 but He who is comforting the cast-down -- God -- He did comfort us in the presence of Titus; | 6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, |
7 and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice, | 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever. |
8 because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent -- if even I did repent -- for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry. | 8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it--I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while-- |
9 I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us; | 9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. |
10 for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death, | 10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. |
11 for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter. | 11 See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. |
12 If, then, I also wrote to you -- not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God -- | 12 So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong or of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are. |
13 because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all; | 13 By all this we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you. |
14 because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth, | 14 I had boasted to him about you, and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true as well. |
15 and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him; | 15 And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient, receiving him with fear and trembling. |
16 I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you. | 16 I am glad I can have complete confidence in you. |

4-Year-Old Boy Kills Self with Father's Stolen Gun
A 4-year-old Houston boy has died after he picked up a handgun and shot himself, NBC News is reporting, adding that the gun belonged to the boy's father and was stolen. More from NBC:
Marquiez Deshon Pratt, 21, was asleep on the couch when his son, Jaiden, picked up the gun and shot himself in the stomach, according to a report from the Houston Police Department.
The weapon, a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol, was stolen during a burglary in 2011, according to the police report.
Jaiden was spending the weekend with his father when the incident occurred. The boy's mother dropped him off every Friday and was scheduled to pick him up Sunday at noon, according to the Houston Chronicle.
After the shooting, the elder Pratt ran out of his second-floor apartment with his son in his arms, yelling to his neighbors for help, according to the Houston Chronicle.
When officers arrived, Pratt handed his son over to them and ran back to his apartment.
While some officers pursued Pratt, others performed CPR on the young victim, but the boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

The set up is a hardware router that handles the nat so all internal IP's are Class C. I can open the web and ssh for the lan but I can't get this right.
I could sure use some direction, I have had this so many ways that I am starting to try the same things again (confused).
What kind of firewall systems are some of you using and how are you developing them ?
If one of our resident nix experts knows how I should build this connection into the firewall please jump in.
Thanks David
Do you have KDE2.x+, if so there is a very easy to use iptable GUI, Guarddog [simonzone.com]. It may simplify the setup for you.
The linux system can be very secure. What I have learned is that if a true hacker finds your box, its like discovering gold or diamonds. The stuff that can be done undetected because of our true multi tasking OS will make him probe harder and longer to find the door to take control.
So the firewall needs to limit access but almost as important if he gets user access it should help keep him jailed.
I am just tring to understand the iptables rules to the point that I can limit access to certain ports on remote machines to certain users and IP's and drop everyone else.
I am even wondering if it's possible to ssh a box using a spoofed IP and have the firewall rules only accept that spoofed IP and drop everone else. Be able to open ports and be in a stealth mode to the most stingent port scans.
Maybe I am dreaming, don't know yet I havent learned enough.
Still would like to hear some thoughts from the "ultrageeks"

Modern Ninja Turtles Party
When my kids ask for character birthday parties, I like to blend a few special store bought items with a couple homemade touches. (Like this Spiderman party.) Today I'm sharing a Modern Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Party we created. I ordered this party pack from Target. It included all the basics – plates, cups, napkins, balloons, candles, etc. I also got a few turtle shells for the kids to dress up in and some other ninja accessories (like these) for them to play with. Then, I did a few simple DIYs to tie the party together. I picked up red, orange, purple and blue felt to make ninja masks for everyone to wear during the party. I made some easy homemade favor bags that we filled with lots of green prizes and treats. For games I made some silver ninja stars for a game where the kids had to throw them into a bucket and a homemade Pin the Turtle on the Pizza. Altogether, this party took less than an afternoon to pull together.

Hidden Prize Birthday Cake
A little while ago I was looking through a 1950s craft book and read about the Christmas tradition of a Jack Horner pie. Traditionally, the book says you wrap small presents, tie each one to a string, and put all the presents in a box/basket with the string tails hanging out of the box – then your party guests each take a string and pull it to see which prize they get.
This tissue paper birthday cake was inspired by that idea – instead of loot bags, have party guests each grab a string, pull, and see what they get! Alternatively, this would also be a fun way to distribute prizes for game-winners throughout the party. (P.S. Fan of paper cakes? Make these candle and cake hats for your guests!!)
