Eating Matzah At the Seder
The bread of poverty has a rich history in Rabbinic literature.
Therefore, the matzah-like product made with flour and apple juice that is called "egg matzah" or matzah ashirah (rich matzah) is not subject to leavening, just "rotting," and is theoretically acceptable for Passover use. Widespread custom, however, rejected its use. The Ashkenazic (East European) authority, R. Moses Isserles (known as the Rema), however, is wary of this permission and gives the custom legal force:
"Eggs and other liquids are all considered like fruit juice (which lead to rotting, not leavening). Rema: But in our communities, we do not knead (matzah) dough with fruit juice... And one should not change from this unless in a time of emergency for the sake of a sick or old person who needs this" (Shulhan Arukh Orah Hayyim 462:4).
The Ashkenazic restrictions on use of "egg matzah" are usually printed on the box. Even according to Sephardic (Mediterranean) practice, however, one cannot fulfill the obligation to eat matzah at seder with "egg matzah." First, the obligation must be fulfilled with real matzah, and real matzah must have the potential to leaven, which egg matzah does not. Second, the command is to eat "matzah, the bread of poverty" (Deuteronomy 16:3) and not egg matzah, which is also known as rich matzah.
An additional concern comes from the Torah's command, "You shall watch the matzot" (Exodus 12:17). This is understood by the midrash as "watch it so that it does not become unfit" (Mekhilta Pischa 9), that is, it should not be allowed to leaven. When one begins to watch the dough is a matter of some controversy. The earliest sources assume that the watching begins with the kneading of the dough. The common practice today is to watch the flour from time it is ground. Most commercial matzah is watched from the time of grinding.
The most strict approach, however, is to watch the grain itself from the time it is harvested.
"[Rava] said to those who were turning over the sheaves of wheat (during the harvest): 'When you flip them over, do so for the sake of the mitzvah.' From this we can reason that watching is required initially from the beginning to the end" (Bavli Pesachim 40a).
Matzah made from flour ground from grain which has been watched since harvest is called shemurah matzah (watched matzah). Many Jews choose to use shemurah matzah, especially hand-made shemurah matzah, for fulfillment of the obligation to eat matzah at the seder.
Who is Obligated to Eat Matzah?
The eating of matzah is a positive commandment (as opposed to not eating hametz, which is a negative commandment) that takes place at a specific time. There is a general rule in talmudic literature that women are exempt from positive commandments that take place at a specific time (Mishnah Kiddushin 1:7). Indeed, women are exempt from reciting the shema, wearing tefillin (both in Mishnah Berakhot 3:3), sitting in the sukkah (Mishnah Sukkah 2:8), shaking the lulav, blowing the shofar, and wearing tzitzit (all three in Bavli Kiddushin 33b).

Lottery Winner.Submitted by Guestabcd123 (not verified) on Thu, 01/10/2013 - 5:31pm.
First off, if any of you have watched TLC's How I won the lottery. Show has shown perception within families and friends that knows someone who wins huge amount of money whether it was this large or even bigger. Problem is whether it is your family or friends the moment you hit the lottery they will want your money and take it from you. Best thing when you play sign the back of the tickets where they have it for signatures. Next thing some of you said she will get reduce in pay in assistance. Only when that money is taxed every year. They will have to keep paying her whether reduce until that money is gone and when it is they have to pay her right back at the same amount the next year. »

Hockey's decision leaves GrainCorp issues unresolved
PUBLISHED: 29 Nov 2013 10:47:00 | UPDATED: 30 Nov 2013 02:54:54PUBLISHED: 29 Nov 2013 PRINT EDITION: 30 Nov 2013Comment
Laura Tingle Political editor
- Hockey rejects ADM's GrainCorp takeover bid
- Chanticleer | Grain market problems at heart of ADM rejection
- Timeline | How ADM's GrainCorp takeover bid played out
A certain pattern has emerged in recent years in the way the public discussion about a contentious foreign investment decision runs, driven by the fact that such decisions are among the few where the key decision-makers conspicuously absent themselves from the debate.
The pattern is that, with the enforced silence of the key decision-maker, the debate is run purely by the interested stakeholders, and the forecasts of what the eventual decision will be are seen in simplistic terms of their raw politics and in terms of how a ''yes'' or ''no'' will be regarded by global markets.
We saw this with the Shell bid for Woodside, the bid by the Singapore Stock Exchange for the Australian Securities Exchange and now, once more, with the ADM bid for GrainCorp . The task of the Treasurer of the day has, as a result, been framed not just in making the best decision as he sees it in the national interest, but a decision that addresses the pre-existing perceptions of the politics of the debate and the way the decision might be viewed by markets.
Joe Hockey's decision on GrainCorp reflects all these considerations.
But most important, it is persuasively structured by the greater complexities of this particular bid, just as Peter Costello's decision on Woodside and Wayne Swan's decision on the ASX were.
The almost hysterical opposition of the junior party in the Coalition government – the Nationals – to the GrainCorp bid (and indeed to foreign investment more broadly) had the perverse effect of only making it harder for a new Treasurer to be able to persuade that his argument was not driven by internal political concerns.
The credibility of the decision as being one driven by the national interest, rather than purely internal political concerns, lies in understanding the workings of the domestic grain market, more than you have to understand any threshold hostility to foreign investment. The grain market has been in transition since the abolition of the single desk for selling wheat through the Australian Wheat Board five years ago.
As Hockey says, the deregulation of the wheat market has created more competition than once existed for up-country storage of wheat, for transport and for port facilities. But it has been far from perfect.
Existing facilities such as grain-silo rail sidings have run down. Storage and handling costs are claimed by growers to have risen by as much as 40 per cent to 50 per cent.
While the owners of grain port facilities are supposed to have them open for competition, stories abound of some port users who are not customers of the port owners finding their grain being forgotten, loaded last or even being subjected to a last-minute fumigation that puts them at a competitive disadvantage.
GrainCorp – formed from the old government-owned Grain Handling Authority – is an exceptionally dominant player in wheat storage and handling on the Australian east coast
On paper, the arrival of ADM as a 100 per cent owner of GrainCorp had the potential to address some of these concerns, not least because it was promising a significant capital injection into GrainCorp's domestic operations.
But the suspicion has always been that ADM saw the takeover primarily as a means of giving it a vehicle into Asia, rather than because of an interest in the Australian market.
It did not work hard or fast enough to persuade growers it really understood issues up-country or in the transport network, and that it had a comprehensive plan to address these issues.
Its belated increase in the offer of a capital injection this week seemed to acknowledge this.
Hockey is arguing that with the marketplace in flux and competitive issues to be resolved, GrainCorp was unable to persuade either the Foreign Investment Review Board, or him, that its intentions and capacities were such that it really could have helped improve the running of the market.
The vertical integration of the grain and food industries made the question only more complicated.
The less than overwhelming response of shareholders to the bid – which has now been open for months – only further reflected the scepticism of a market, which is both part owners and clients of GrainCorp.
Hockey has given ADM the opportunity to prove its bona fides by allowing it to lift its shareholding to 24.9 per cent.
The tone of the company's response to the decision left open the ''bat/ball/go home'' option to what does it next, saying it is "reviewing our capital allocations", though it has also said it will "look to work with" GrainCorp, as a 19.85 per cent shareholder, to "maximise returns on our investment and create value for both companies". The future of GrainCorp is a matter that must still be resolved. Without the injection of capital from ADM, it still needs a significant capital injection if it is going to be able to improve the services it offers its customers.
As for the reaction of the markets, Hockey couched his decision in the context of having made 130 other foreign investment decisions in favour of foreign investment and one against.
He can only hope that the markets are prepared to consider the complexities and take him, and Prime Minister Tony Abbott, at their word that Australia is ''open for business'' but open for business on terms that work for it.

Hi Amy. Your post tugs at my heart. :o) What a dear family. Very close friends of ours has a little one with DS. I remember holding him right after he was born. He is such a doll!
I am scrap tripping along too. I posted one of my blocks just today. :o) - January 7, 2013 at 1:35 PM
- Funky Kim said...
You're friends with that family? They totally tugged my heartstrings when I saw their story on the news. I have prayed almost non-stop since that story that the Russian government will continue to allow American's to adopt their special needs children.
And I'm off to look at the scrappy trips tutorial. Because I need more UFO's in my life.

I am Big Bossy Sister for my brother who is on Social Security Disability. He swallowed a penny when he was very young; it cut off the air to his brain and caused brain damage. Without family to watch over him, he would be one of those sad guys living under a bridge somewhere getting beat up for his money. So it comes to me.
We have our moments, but I have learned to pick my battles and he has learned that he absolutely positively has to change the sheets on his bed every week and clean the toilet every week and mop the kitchen floor every week if he wants his allowance. He lives in my rental house right next door and is a good neighbor. - January 7, 2013 at 3:38 PM

I love the She Devil hat - totally cool! It is an amazing story - I helped a friend here to adopt a little D.S. baby that was an amazing experience. These people with special needs enrich our lives in so many ways - my youngest is Autistic and each day brings something new - good and not so good but he was sent to me or rather chose me for a reason...I'm thankful that he is healthy and I'm thankful that he's mine.

What a great story all-around... it was so kind of you to offer to do the quilt, and how wonderful that this family has actually chosen to adopt what others find "less than desirable". I'm sure they are rewarded everyday by the unconditional love they receive from those children!! A truly great story of unselfishness and compassion! Thanks for sharing something so personal and uplifting! :)

I'm holding off on the scrappy time sucker right now as I try and finish my dad's Indie Star for his birthday on the 16th. I might have earmarked a bundle of fabric for it though. Possibly. Maybe. *ahem*
Loving the wee Russian inspired quilt, and *everybody* needs a flaming sun visor! - January 7, 2013 at 5:03 PM

Thank you so much for sharing this story with us. It has really made an impact on my day. As a teacher I have had children with ds come in and out of my life and just yesterday I was thinking of a special few and how much I missed them. I am in awe of this wonderful family and will be keeping them in my prayers.
IN other news. I love the blocks! I think orange and/or brown would look a bit more vintage though my personal choice would be turquoise as that is always my choice. :) I can't wait to visit the scrap-a-long post and read more! - January 7, 2013 at 5:50 PM

Thanks for sharing that wonderful story, Amy! I'm sure that quilt will be treasured forever... And yes, I'm jumping on the scrappy trips bandwagon, because I think it will make a great and easy king-sized quilt for my own bed! Can't wait to start my first blocks tomorrow!

Our 18 yr old granddaughter has DS. She brings us such joy and love and has taught the whole family about unconditional love. This year she graduates from HS, we couldn't be prouder. And right now I have a pile of tee shirts marking everything from cheer leading, basketball, National Charity League, Church Baking, summer camp and a myriad of other activities waiting for me to make them into her Graduation quilt, so I know how much you have enjoyed helping a neighbor and how much you love your bils!

Beautiful post Amy, thank you so much for sharing. What a blessing you've been to your neighbour, and your neighbours in turn to their gorgeous girls from Russia.
My brother and his wife waited 6 years (years!!) to adopt their little girl H from Ethiopia - and that was after a 2 year governmental-assessment process - so, 8 years all up. Adopting internationally from Australia is such a prolonged process. It breaks my heart, as there are so many children waiting to become a part of someone's family, who in turn are desperately waiting for them. Thanks so much for sharing your neighbour's story.
That's a fab pic of your husband and one of his brothers too. His new visor will get lots of jealous looks!! Cat x - January 7, 2013 at 11:44 PM

Thank you so much for this beautiful post. You know that adoption is very close to my heart since my own two darlings are adopted and I believe that every single child should have a forever family. Many happy blessings to your newest neighbor.

Love this post. First off the Russian quilt is very sweet. Binding it was probably fun. I don't mind binding at all. I enjoy it. And as for the viral project, I've succumbed myself. Sadly last night I worked on it. Sew fun! I'm glad. But seriously I have SO many projects going on. I get what you're talking about. I should be working on a pattern for a quilt that came back from the quilter. Anyway, loved seeing the photo of your brother-in-laws too. Your MIL is an example to me and I'm so grateful to have met her and know of the positive experiences in your family. Lizzy is a wonderful baby and we love her so much. Thanks for being you.

Brandi left very little to the imagination when she wore a see-through top that exposed her ample chest. Was it tasteful or totally tacky? VOTE.
Brandi Glanville sure knows how to turn heads! The 40-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star had everyone talking, (AND staring), on Oct 23 as she graced the red carpet for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season premiere party, where she served up a major dose of side boob. Brandi is known for her fearless attitude, but this look took it to a whole other level — and we're shocked she managed to avoid a wardrobe malfunction!
The former model showed us she's still got it going on while gracing the red carpet last night, flaunting her toned physique, (AND her assets), in a two-piece ensemble. She wore a sheer black top that featured a lace panel that left the side of her chest totally exposed but still managed to strategically cover the front of her breasts. She paired the revealing top with a red, knee-length skirt, perhaps to balance out her sexy blouse. Christian Louboutin sandals, diamond earrings, red lips, flushed cheeks and her wavy, long blonde locks finished off her premiere look.
Brandi seemed to be embracing her revealing outfit as she smiled confidently for the cameras. While so many celebs seem to be all about major boobage, did Brandi take the trend a little too far? Perhaps with a bandeau or a bralette underneath the sheer shirt still would've looked sexy without seeming so severe. Sure, sheer is a major trend — but you shouldn't totally expose yourself if you try it out!
While I must admit Brandi looks great and I'm a fan of the outfit, I wish that she covered up her breasts a little more — leave something to the imagination! What do you think? Do you believe in the, "If you've got it, flaunt approach," that Brandi decided to take or did you think her revealing top was totally inappropriate and unnecessary for this occasion?

Poor Glanville hired stylists, finally, alas, they also have no style. Her friends too. They all believe tacky is fashion.
The skirt and earrings clash with the blouse. It should have been a black skirt, black closed toed shoes with black stockings. The skirt bunches at her waist. Bad fit.
Lovely lady, horrible closet.
Posted at 5:43 PM on October 24, 2013
why would she dress all in black, and so conservatively? is the outfit you describe for going to a funeral? there's nothing wrong with her outfit… it's not edgy, it's not 'emily post' perfect- it's just understated (for her) and cute. i think her stylist and her publicist are on the same page here, a good one.

Chanel Glossimer - Unity
Average Rating 4.6/5 |
Review by jjshin81
I finally understand why everyone raves about this glossimer, it is an absolutely beautiful neutral color! The gold/bronzy gloss applies very sheerly without washing me out. In fact, it actually brightens my face with its various rosy/taupe undertones. I would use a lipliner with this though to enhance the subtle color. =)
This isn't as pretty on me as I had initially thought. I'm sorry to say it's somewhat too bronzy and dark for my fair/medium Asian complexion. I think it has the potential to look really good with the right complementing shadow and blush, but by itself, it's ... boring. It reminds me of a rosier, lighter, and glossier shade of Stila Bronze Shine, a purchase I now regret. I'm going to look into pairing it with some other colors to give it a twist. Until then, I guess it's safe to say it deserves a 3.5, but I'll round it up to a 4. =)

We schlubs in the Woot podcast studio don't often get to play with the sale items. Lucky us that the Kite Train should be the exception!
At the risk of sounding like a shill, and compromising the Wootcast's sterling reputation for integrity: This thing was all kinds of fun. It couldn't have been easier to fly, even on a day that seemed almost windless, and it was a potent attention-getter and conversation-starter with all the passers-by. Fly this on a crowded beach and just see if you don't make friends. Ooh, you know what would be fun? Flying this thing from a boat. (Wonder if we could finagle a sample boat on the pretense of product-testing?) Anyway, yeah, four thumbs up for the Kite Train. It was cool.

PHOENIX -- About 200 people took part in a candlelight vigil for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of a mass shooting in Tucson Saturday morning.
The vigil was held at the State Capitol less than 12 hours after the shooting that killed six people, including a 9-year-old girl and a federal judge, and wounded 13 others.
Witnesses said they believe Giffords was the intended target. The congresswoman is in critical condition at University Medical Center.
The suspect in the shooting, Jared Loughner, is in custody, but investigators believe he did not act alone. They are actively searching for a "person of interest."

We are happy to announce the launch of the newest GAPS publication, 'UNSCR 1325: The Participation Promise'.
This booklet provides a short and comprehensive overview of the issues and challenges surrounding women's participation in peace processes and post-conflict reconciliation. It outlines why women's participation in peace negotiations is important, why it has not been fulfilled, and provides helpful case studies and potential solutions to this problem. This is a useful guide for anyone interested in the fulfilment of the promise outlined in UNSCR 1325, that all barriers to women's equal participation in the peace process will be removed.
Written by Sharon Smee, this is a fantastic tool for getting informed on the issues around women's participation in peace and reconciliation. Recommendations for government action on this issue are provided on the final page.
You can't build peace by leaving half of the people out.

I give my dog enteric-coated aspirin whenever he has sore muscles. My vet said that I could give him one aspirin, since he is over 50 pounds.
She told me to always use the enteric-coated kind, because the other kind might hurt his stomach or even cause ulcers. The aspirin seems to be working, because his stiff muscles loosen up and he can walk normally after taking one.
Eventually, I'll probably have to switch to an arthritis medicine made specifically for dogs. For now, since he only has problems every now and then, I'm sticking with enteric-coated aspirin.

Impaled Existence LyricsArtist: Malevolent CreationAlbum: Joe Black Passing of black, looms over the entity, Ill omen surrounding all positive thought. The words of pain trickling off his tongue, To hear him say this world is done. Condemnation for the doomsayer, The raking of hell's garden cultivates no prayer. He laughs at the unholy blessing of terror, Fermented in your mind. Craving an end to existence, Fleeing life's pleas of surviving, The winds taste of death, Set souls free. Clouds impregnated, with the lust of despair. Demons congregate, on the eve of strike. Heaven is dormant, deaf to all cries. Desperate fools will never find Christ. Hateful spite lunges from the throat. Spat upon helpless beings of peace. Looming in the corridors that lie between time. This world's broken neck grasped in his hands. Dark secrets unlocked by a verbal key. Promises once mocked are fulfilled fatalities precede. Screams distorted with blood. Reverberate through vacated lives. Punished for ignorance. Extinction is your sentence.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Write an Article
Alice in Wonderland (2010) Opinion Article
Alice In Wonderland Trivia
Casting auditions for 250 extras were held in the British city of Plymouth on 6th and 7th August 2008. Requirements were for people with a 'Victorian look' and for applicants to have no visible tattoos, piercings or dyed hair.
Actress Mia Wasikowska beat out several candidates for the role of Alice, including Amanda Seyfried and Lindsay Lohan, who lobbied for the role. This film marks the 7th time Johnny Depp has worked under the direction of Tim Burton and the 6th time for Helena Bonham Carter. Principal photography of this movie took 40 days. Despite the fact that there have been many other Alice in Wonderland films, Tim Burton has said he never felt a emotional connection to it and always thought it was a series of some girl wondering around from one crazy character to another. (In fact, the original books are part of a once-popular fantasy genre in which the character does nothing except wander around from one crazy encounter to another. Those films which replicated this were being true to the spirit of the original books.) So with this, he attempted to create a framework, an emotional grounding, which he felt he never really had seen in any version before. Tim said that was the challenge for him - to make Alice feel like a story as opposed to a series of events. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp worked hard to give the Mad Hatter more depth and presence than in past portrayals. In fact, the pair swapped sketches and themes for the character prior to creating this new version. According to Tim Burton, it was Mia Wasikowska's gravity that won her the role. This marks the 3rd time Michael Gough has come out of retirement to appear in a film by Tim Burton. This also marks his 5th film under Burton's direction. Johnny Depp, who says that he likes "an obstacle" whilst filming, admitted that he found the process of filming on a green screen "exhausting", and that he felt "befuddled by the end of the day". Danny Elfman scored the film to green screen footage. In the trailer, it is visible that the Mad Hatter has mismatched pupils. The right one is dilated and the left one is not. Medically speaking, that implies serious brain injury. The Los Angeles Times reports that film director Tim Burton based the White Queen on TV cook and cookbook author Nigella Lawson. The character in the movie is played by Anne Hathaway. "There's this very beautiful cooking show host in England named Nigella Lawson and I quietly had her as my image for this character," Burton said. "She's really beautiful and she does all this cooking, but then there's this glint in her eye and when you see it you go, 'Oh, whoa, she's like really ... nuts.' I mean in a good way. Well, maybe. I don't know." Helena Bonham Carter stated on a February 17, 2010 "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" (2005) show that two weeks before its premiere, Tim Burton was still working on the movie. Before Tim Burton was involved with the project, Anne Hathaway was offered the titular role of Alice, but she turned it down because it was too similar to other roles she had previously played. However, she was keen to work with Burton, so was pleased to be cast as the White Witch. She shot all her scenes in two weeks. The first Tim Burton film not to have opening credits. The name of Alice's father in the movie, Charles, is an homage to the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass", Lewis Carroll also known as Charles Dodgson. Michael Sheen was originally cast as the Cheshire Cat, but backed out due to scheduling conflicts. Dwayne Johnson and David Walliams were considered for the role of The Mad Hatter. In the scene where the Hatter is making hats, there are two pictures next to the door where the Knave of Hearts enters. One picture is the Mock Turtle from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and the other is the Walrus from "Through the Looking-Glass". The Mad Hatter asks Alice several times, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" This is directly from the Lewis Carroll books. Carroll admits that there never was an answer to the question, he made it up without an answer. Some people have claimed the answer is because Edgar Allan Poe worked on both. The battle scene at the end resembles a chess scene from afar to pay tribute to the chess game that Alice is playing all throughout the original text, "Through the Looking Glass". Emmy Rossum was considered to play the White Queen, but Tim Burton felt she was too young. One of Alice's ships at the end is named the "Wonder." This being a Disney film, it is a reference to Disney Cruise Line's "Wonder" ship. Director Trademark: [Tim Burton] [Black and white stripes] Tweedledum and Tweedledee's shirts. Johnny Depp watched the Scottish comedy show "Rab C. Nesbitt" (1990) to perfect his character's Glaswegian voice. Charles Kingsley, the name of Alice's father in this film, is also the name of a famous British Victorian fantasy author. Kingsley's most famous book is Water Babies, which has several similarities to the film. In the opening minutes of the film, there is a shot of the moon, on which the Cheshire Cat's face is briefly visible. Aside from his odd color, Absolem the Caterpillar is modeled after the larva of the Monarch butterfly (which are striped in white, yellow and black). When we see Absolem as a butterfly by the end of the film, the pattern on his wings is that of a Monarch, save again for the coloration (Monarch butterflies have orange wings). At one point when the Dormouse is searching for the Hatter in the Red Queen's castle, she looks in a vacant room. A caricature of Henry VIII can be seen on the far wall. The Red Queen asks Stayne at one point whether it is better to be feared than loved, if not of both, he affirms, as she does later, that it is better to be feared than loved. This is a reference to a famous quote from Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, where he asks the same question, and answers: "It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved." Although Helena Bonham Carter's character is named the Red Queen, and has a rivalry with the White Queen as does the Red Queen from Through the Looking Glass, the character is in fact in all other ways based on the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, incorporating her anger management issues, decapitation mania, and fondness for flamingo-and-hedgehog croquet. This is why while the White Queen's army is chess-themed, the Red Queen's army is playing-card themed. Alice surname is given as Kingsley, which means her father is Charles Kingsley. This is a reference to the novelist of the same name, whose views on Christian Socialism 'Lewis Caroll' had read and admired. Kingsley's most famous work, The Water Babies, follows a similar narrative to Alice and could have inspired Caroll's Alice books |

- Transient psychosis in indomethacin
I had taken indomethacin infrequently for years for joint pain but never for more than 2 weeks in a row. One night, when I had been taking it daily for about 2 weeks, I had a bout of psychosis approximately 1/2 hour after ingesting the indomethacin at bedtime. I just waited it out, and in about 5-6 hours the effect wore off and I've been fine since. I had never had a bout of psychosis before that. (I've never taken it again.)

Hybrid Bassline Tech Vol. 1
Fresh out of the studio, Sample Anatomy presents "Hybrid Bassline Tech Vol 1". Bass lines are arguably one of the hardest elements of a track to produce. Its the seat of the song. Its what people are going to groove to. We've concocted 100 of the freshest, biggest and baddest tech baselines to get your House, Minimal, Techno or any other genre with a 4 on the 4 groove, a serious head start.
Bassline Tech is full of diversity when it comes to style. You'll find a plethora of earth shaking subs, distorted mids, synth heavy top end, minimal stylized, modulated expressions, enveloped, full on, resonance heavy, and funky baselines in this pack. We've left nothing to be desired with this one. For the sake of artistic integrity, most loops were left dry of effects (No Delays or Reverbs). All loops were however treated with EQ and COMPRESSION to ensure full compatibility with your project. Just drag drop and go!
Love the groove but not 100% happy with the sound we've created? No problem. Fire up one of the adjoining midi files and plug in your own sound. For every bassline we created we've supplied you with the MIDI file that created the bassline. This will ensure you get exactly what you want from your groove. Having the MIDI file is also a great way to create variation in your groove if you choose to.
We've supplied you with 4 folders. Each folder contains 50 loops cut at 123 and the other 50 cut at 125 for both the MIDI and the AUDIO. Standard faire for tech productions. All Audio and Midi files have been key marked for your convenience.

Proving once again that even bottom of the barrel B-grade actors can get more publicity for being idiotic than being talented, Juh-neen showed the world that she'd prefer a return to nazi death camps over freedom and liberty.
Apparently during her idiotic rant on MSNBC last night, she compared the supportive gesture of Americans waving blue-stained fingers signalling to Iraqis that we stand with them in their transition to democracy to the nazi salute. Right on cue.
I guess someone might want to inform the parents of Shelby Dangerfield, then. Shelby is the 12 year old who got the ball rolling on the blue finger gesture. Those little nazis grow up so fast.
Captain Ed gives Juh-neen a little history lesson so she's better informed next time she tries to resuscitate her non-existent career with public idiocy.
Protein Wisdom joins the pile-on.
Michelle just doesn't understand B-grade, grungey, pot-induced, lesbian-persuaded, shower-avoiding, live-at-home-until-your-thirty, dipshit liberalism. Must be an acquired taste.
Kevin wants us all to email Juh-neen and thank her for making the world a safer place by pointing out all the scary little 12 year old nazis that have invaded our homeland.

Les Paul: inventor and performer
Changing Rock and Roll
Les Paul, the inventor and guitar-playing sensation, will forever be associated with the solid-body electric guitar that he helped design and bears his name.
Les stated that if there was one thing that he would want in a time capsule that symbolized him it would be the Gibson Les Paul guitar.
His other inventions may not be as visible, but they continue to have a tremendous effect on the music world.
The eight-track tape recorder, for which Les Paul holds the patent, along with his numerous recording techniques swung open the door for Rock and Roll.
Les' Sel-Sync®, over-dubbing, tape delay, echo, reverb, phase shifting and close miking have become commonplace in today's recordings.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted Les in 1988, states on its website, "It's safe to say that rock and roll as we know it would not exist without his inventions."
The National Inventors Hall of Fame added Les to its luminaries in 2005.
Teen Inventor
Les Paul was an inventor from his school days in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Not only did he design the first solid body electric guitar when he was in his teens, but he was the guitar-playing sensation who showed the world how to play the electric guitar.
As a teen, guitar-harmonica playing Les created his first invention, a coat hanger harmonica holder. Commercial versions required taking the harmonica off the holder and repositioning it. Les wanted to be able to flip the harmonica with his chin so he could seamlessly keep singing and playing his guitar. He relayed that his brother Ralph worked at a dry cleaning store, "so there were plenty of wire coat hangers around" and that is what young Les used.
Les' first solid body guitar was even more unorthodox then his later wooden "Log".
In search of the hardest substance available for a guitar, Les stretched a guitar string across the top of a two-foot piece of rail from a railroad track, added a microphone from his mother's telephone, added a magnet, wired it into his mother's radio and thus the first solid-body electric guitar came into existence at the hands of a teenager.
That was in the 1920s. Les knew that a guitar based on a piece of rail was not practical, but he keep thinking about the unparalleled sustain that strange guitar had. A replica of the "first log" can be seen in Discovery World's "Les Paul House of Sound" in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Gibson Les Paul
In 1941, Lester was known as Les Paul and playing with Fred Waring in New York City. As Les continued his efforts to electrify a guitar that would have volume, tone and sustain that could be controlled, he reflected on his early rail "guitar". Years of experimenting resulted in Les' Log, the 4×4 chunk of pine with homemade pickups, a bridge, Vibrato tailpiece and an Epiphone neck.
The nightclub crowd was not ready for his 4 x4 guitar plugged into an amp. Les added the acoustic wings, "because people hear with their eyes."
Although he was convinced his Log was the way of the future, it wasn't until 1952 that the Gibson Guitar Company adapted Les' invention into the now famous Gibson Les Paul guitar.
Eight Track Tape Recorder
Once other musicians started playing the solid body electric guitar, Les searched for a sound that would make his music stand apart. This led to his revolutionary sound-on-sound machine, which will be on display starting in June at the Waukesha County Museum's new Les Paul exhibit in Wisconsin.
To explain his multi-level sound during live performances Les developed the Les Paulverizer. Les' onstage gag became an actual black box he attached to his guitar. The box allowed Les to access pre-recorded layers of the songs he and his wife Mary Ford performed on stage.
Early in his career, Les used wire recorders, then progressed to multiple tape recorders, but at last he developed the machine that could record eight different sounds and blend them onto one tape. The culmination of Les' search for layering sound was his patented eight-track tape recorder, which was introduced in 1952, the same year that the Gibson Les Paul gold-top guitar was introduced.
Les' inventions were adapted for other uses.
Retired NASA Engineer Karl F. Anderson relayed, "Les Paul's multi-track tape recording concept not only revolutionized the recording of music, but the recording of scientific data as well. As a retired NASA engineer, let me say thanks, Les, for this amazing tool."
Les Paul gave the future to today's musicians. Rock and Roll, the Blues, Country and all music genres are able to create their sounds using Les' inventions of reverb, echo, phase shifting, close miking, tape delay and sound-on-sound.
Les' Legacy
Even in his last years, Les Paul remained the inventor and performer. He was working on improving hearing aids while maintaining his weekly shows at New York's Iridium Jazz Club.
Les Paul joined the ranks of his hero, Thomas A. Edison, as one who changed the world. His legacy lives on through the Les Paul Foundation www.lespaulfoundation.org, which honors and shares the life, spirit and legacy of Les Paul by supporting music education, engineering and innovation as well as medical research.
Les Paul, often called the Thomas Edison of music technology, didn't set out to invent. In fact, he stated he had to invent because he could not order or walk into a store and buy what he needed.
In the preface to Les Paul in His Own Words, Russ and Michael Cochrane referring to Les say, "…and the truth can be told: his greatest invention is himself." That sums up Les Paul. He was constantly reinventing himself and the things around him, adapting to needs he saw and challenges he faced.

Do you think the standardized ACT and SAT tests do a good job of measuring how "smart" a person is? Why or why not? What is "smart"? asked Sep 27 '10 at 22:40 Peter Murphy |
It doesn't represent how smart we are, but it is pretty much the best thing that we have thus far. answered Sep 27 '10 at 22:43 catchatyou |
I honestly think these kinds of tests are pointless. Why do we need them to get into a 4 year college? If we really needed them, we should be able to at least take them the first semester of Freshmen year. That would mean that people could go to school they actually would want to go to, not just the school that want them. answered Sep 27 '10 at 23:00 YamazaruNinja |
the test provide a quantitative way of accepting students... lets say your university only has the ability to accept 2000 new students every year... as a university you want to pick the smartest students who are likely to help with research and get rich and donate lots of money after graduation.... smart people mean more money for the school... and the essayist way to pick out the smart people is a test. it comes down to math, if you can gage some thing with a number SAT, ACT, IQ tests are some of the tests. but by associating a number you can have a cutoff point of who you will accept and are likely to succeed... can you say someone is smart from a SAT or ACT test... then you get into the issue of what is "smart"... and i think that is why alot of people debate it... answered Sep 27 '10 at 23:47 trueb |
I do like YamazaruNinja's idea of taking them after we are admitted, and maybe use it as a "placement" test within the college. They should be able to determine from our school grades how good we are, although the SATs and the ACTs are a bit more universal so it is easy to determine how good we are if everyone in the US takes the exact same test. answered Sep 28 '10 at 07:13 boba0420 |
No because it's timed most tests aren't timed and the ACT and SAT are a complete waste of time and don't matter after you've enrolled in college (I hate the College Board). answered Sep 28 '10 at 07:28 FilipinoPower |
I don't believe so. They measure your performance in certain core areas, but you can't quantify how "smart" a person is. The SAT and ACT tests are very controversial in several aspects and a lot of four-year, accredited, public and private universities are no longer requiring it as a condition of admission. answered Sep 28 '10 at 09:07 Victor |

CropWorld 2011: EU politicians urged to show leadership on GM crops
EU POLITICIANS have been urged to provide leadership on GM crops amid claims Europe's refusal to embrace the technology is damaging farmers in the EU and Africa.
An international panel of scientists linked to the biotechnology industry lined up to vent their frustration at the EU's stance on GM crops at the CropWorld Global 2011 conference.
Worldwide 150 GM crops have been approved for cultivation. Yet the EU, in the face of fierce public opposition and a strict regulatory regime, has approved just two – an insect resistant maize and a potato grown for starch - which represents a 'huge disparity', according to Dr Hans Kast, an adviser to biotech company BASF.
He blamed EU regulatory regime, which he said was making it impossible for biotech companies to produce new products.
"The politicians do not allow the consumers to have choice. We cannot approach the consumer with new products because there are no products."
He welcomed the approach taken by the UK towards biotechnology, driven by findings of the Foresight report, but said the EU's rejection of GM crops was forcing the biotech industry to target other markets.
"Which means at the end of the day EU farmers and EU consumers will suffer because farmers will not be able to compete with global agriculture and the consumer will pay too high a price for food," he said.
The panellist were united in calling for 'leadership' and 'courage' on the issue from Europe's political leaders.
US scientist Dr Roger Beachy, from the Donald Danforth Plant Science Centre, said politicians needed to front up to the anti-GM 'fear and lies' pedalled by in the media over the past decade or so.
"Unless policy makers realise how the public has been misled it's going to be very tough to change the situation," he said.
Dr Felix M'mboyi, deputy director of the African Biotechnology Stakeholders Forum, said Europe's stance was holding back African farmers.
While some GM crop strains, including transgenic drought tolerant maize, Bt maize and cotton and transgenic golden rice, cassava, bananas, cowpeas and sorghum, have been successfully tested in Africa and are ready for deployment in Africa, he said.
Yet many countries are reluctant to cultivate them because they fear the EU would enforce export bans and development agencies would withdraw support if farmers used the technology.
"This kind of hypocrisy and arrogance comes with the luxury of a full stomach. The developing world should be aloowed to make an informed choice. GM technology should not be ruled out," he said.
In an earlier discussion, Hans Herren, director of the Millennium Institute, argued that GM crops were unnecessary, as they were 'tackling the symptoms', not the cause of the problem, and claimed the associated health risks were still unknown.

Medallion & Signature Guarantee Rules & Risks
Thursday, June 7, 2012
1 - 2:30 pm MT
2 - 3:30 pm CT
3 - 4:30 pm ET
Signature guarantees are not new, but financial losses and administrative problems associated with them are increasing. Many bankers do not understand their responsibilities when guaranteeing a signature or when using a Medallion stamp. This can expose your bank to substantial liability! The FDIC mandates that all financial institutions that issue or accept signature guarantees must have effective internal controls to mitigate the losses and problems associated with signature guarantees.
Would your bank pass this test? Do you know the differences between the various signature guarantees, including the STAMP Medallion Program? Join us and learn the situations in which each type of signature guarantee is required, including analysis of the risks and liabilities each imposes on your bank.
Continuing Education: Attendance verification for CE credits provided upon request.
- Distinguish between the various types of signature guarantees
- Explanation of STAMP Medallion Program
- Practical examples of common situations and how to handle them
- Liability imposed on the bank and how to reduce that risk
- Proper identification of parties
- Questions to ask: Is the signature genuine? Is the signer the appropriate party? Does the signer have legal capacity?
NOTE: This seminar is not sponsored by or affiliated with the STAMP Medallion Program.
This informative session is designed for any staff that issues/accepts signature guarantees or participates in the STAMP Medallion Program.
