@julies - I have heard other people say you can't really taste the artichoke hearts in a fresh artichoke dip, but I disagree.
I have never liked the taste of artichokes and can usually tell just by looking at a dip if it has artichokes in it or not.
Once I tried a dip that I thought was safe because it looked different. Come to find out, it was an artichoke dip, but they had added some pickles to make it crunchy.
I had a hard time even swallowing the one bite I took. I know a lot of people who say the only way they will eat artichokes is in a dip. I really can't stomach them any way I have tried them.

Hookipa Beach Park and Mama's Fish House, Maui, Hawaii
Ride the waves: Hookipa is the Hawaiian word for hospitality, but don't take the inviting surf break at Hookipa Beach Park on Maui's legendary north shore for granted. If you don't know what you're doing, it can be decidedly unwelcoming. Deep water, tricky riptides, and rogue eight-foot waves mixed in with consistent six-footers make this a playground for advanced surfers only—just paddling out takes guts. But as long as you handle yourself and respect the order of the lineup, the locals are fair if not friendly. On land, there's ample parking, facilities, lifeguards, and a strip of sand for spectators.
Tide your appetite: At Mama's Fish House, the seafood is so fresh that the menu includes the name of the boat your meal came in on that morning. Ocean views framed by swaying palm trees complete the Polynesian decor. It's impossible to miss: The sign, a fishing boat beached at the side of the Hana Highway, is less than a mile from the break, though the restaurant's reputation has been known to attract foodies from much farther afield. Raw ono marinated in lime and coconut milk, uku ceviche sprinkled with Maui chile pepper, or mahimahi with sides of poi, purple sweet potato, and kalua-style pork will hit the spot regardless of whether you spent the day hanging ten or hanging out with your camera.

Kimberly Clark signs agreements to purchase pension annuity contracts
Kimberly-Clark announced it has entered into purchase agreements with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for group annuity contracts that will transfer payment responsibility for retirement pension benefits owed to approximately 21,000 Kimberly-Clark retirees in the U.S. to the two insurers. By transferring the obligations to Prudential and MassMutual, Kimberly-Clark will reduce its pension projected benefit obligation by approximately $2.5B. Kimberly-Clark expects to make a $400M to $475M contribution to its U.S. pension plan to support this transaction. This contribution will be funded by debt financing and is incremental to the company's previous assumption for 2015 global defined benefit pension plan contributions of up to $100M. As a result of the annuity purchases, Kimberly-Clark expects to recognize a non-cash pension settlement charge of $0.8 billion after tax ($1.3 billion before-tax) in the second quarter of 2015. This charge will be excluded from the company's 2015 adjusted results.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:This knife is fantastic. I've order at least a half dozen knives from DX and this is by far the most solid knife I've received yet. Opening the blade is easy (but not too easy) and very smooth. The locking / unlocking mechanism is easy to operate and I prefer it over the more common liner-lock. The blade is thick, and came nice and sharp
I have small hands and this is a rather large knife. The blade itself isn't that much longer than a lot of other knives but it's wider and so the whole knife just ends up being bigger. It's too big for my pockets for every day carry.
I would love a knife just like this but about half as big - that I could carry in a jeans pocket easier.
Out of the knifes I've purchased (18266, 30887, 01757, 09199, 05861) this one is my favorite.

Read The Full Review » The hugely popular The Simpsons Bongo Comics have made their way to the iPhone and iPad, with an official app just released. Simpsons Comics comes from the masters of all things iOS comic book related, ComiXology. Much like ComiXology's other apps, the initial download is free with new issues of The Simpsons based comics available, priced between $1.99 and $3.99. Recent and classic Bongo titles are included such as Simpsons Comics, Bart Simpson and Radioactive Man. New Bongo comics will be available for purchase through the app within a month of their physical publication, with readers able to buy and download at least two digital releases a week, if they so wish. Recommendations will also be available after finishing each comic book, so it's an ideal way to steer new readers in the right direction for plenty of fun with Homer and the family. Simpsons Comics is available now and it's an Universal app. FREE! + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2012-07-12 :: Category: Books The Assassin's Creed franchise has been phenemonally successful since the release of the first game in the series 5 years ago. It has spawned numerous new games, for PC, console and iOS, novelizations and even the rumor of a forthcoming movie. The tales of Ezio Auditore have now spawned a spin-off comic book in the form of new app Assassin's Creed The Fall. Assassin's Creed The Fall follows the story of assassin Nikolai Orelov, providing a completely different look into the Assassin's Creed Universe. The stunning artwork and writing comes courtesy of DC Comics artists Karl Kerschl and Cameron Stewart so readers are guaranteed quality throughout. With easy to browse navigation designed specifically for the iPad, it should prove to be a great hit for comic book fans and fans of the game series. Assassin's Creed The Fall is out now and priced at $0.99 for the first past. The subsequent two parts are purchasable for $2.99. $0.99 iPad Only App - Designed for the iPad Released: 2012-06-28 :: Category: Entertainment Comic book fans are having an awesome year. The Avengers has come and gone, demonstrating just how fantastic Marvel comics are. Next up, we've got the darker worlds of The Amazing Spiderman and The Dark Knight Rises. Courtesy of Gameloft, we've just been sent a pretty cool trailer for The Dark Knight Rises iOS game in preparation for its release this summer around the same time as the movie. While we don't have many details about the game, the trailer is looking pretty neat with a vibe that will be very familiar to players of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City for consoles and PC. Combat seems set to play a major role here and there's a suggestion of free roaming gameplay, also. Hopefully, there'll be gadgets aplenty in the full release later this year. We'll be sure to keep you up to date on all the latest developments but for now, enjoy the trailer! Rage Comic Generator Review+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPadA fun way to create your own RageGuy memes. Read The Full Review » No doom and gloom for the pygmies this time around. At least, not on a global scale. The Pocket God Comics app is getting an update (or rather just got one by the time this ends up being readable) including the 16th issue and a fairly major tweaking to the store's interface. In this latest episode, the girls need to fix their raft with a laser. Sure, that makes perfect sense. The catch is they can only get one by catching a laser shark. Oddly that makes a little more sense. And, of course, mayhem and hilarity shall ensue as the pygmies attempt to bag a very large, toothy, and heavily armed fish. The app itself (pictured above) should also be much more navigable. New issues, featured releases, Top Titles and more will be right up there on the main page for all to see and access. It's looking pretty slick all things considered. By the time people start reading this, the update should be live. Assuming there are some folks out there who don't own the app yet, it's also available for the incredibly low (and obnoxiously expected) price of $0.99.
$0.99 + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2010-08-03 :: Category: Books After over 30 years of being a thing, Strawberry Shortcake (yes, that Strawberry Shortcake) is getting her own digital comic book app. From the folks involved in the super-popular Pocket God digital comic, no less. And it's all thanks to Ape Entertainment. The app itself is free to download and includes a preview of the first issue. After that, the first three currently available issues (The Pineapple Predicament, The Sour Truth and The Berry Scary Storm) can be purchased for $2.99 each. Every issue contains a grand total of three stories, with a sizable 16-pager and two smaller ones. The app also includes a special feature to assist users with locating the closest comic retailer in their area, so that they can get their hands on some physical copies if they so desire. The continuing fantasy adventures with lots of wholesome values (but sadly, no scratch-n-sniff) are up on the App Store right now. Anyone who harbors fond memories of the colorful bake-happy franchise should certainly take a look at the Strawberry Shortcake Comics Reader.
FREE! + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2011-12-13 :: Category: Books It's amazing how certain iOS games can just explode into our culture, isn't it? It happened with Angry Birds, which spawned more than a few spin-offs, merchandise and even a cartoon. The sadistic little app from Bolt Creative about the lovably doomed island of pygmies has also been bitten by the success bug. Since its release, Pocket God has seen a ton of content updates, a follow-up with its own metric ton of additions, and a digital comic. Each of these three things have been incredibly popular, but it's the success of the comic we're talking about now. On the heels of a major milestone achievement (500 thousand plus downloads) and a new update (issue #11) comes even better news. Pocket God Comics, in collaboration with Free App A Day (FAAD), is on sale for absolutely free for the next two days. Well technically FAAD is responsible for Thursday's sale, while MonsterFreeApps is handling Friday. Anyway, from the 8th through the 9th, the now 11 issue strong digital comic app will be available for zilch. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Great games, great reads, great regular prices and an even greater sale. Honestly, aside from a general discomfort derived from the violent demises of cartoon islanders, I can't think of a legitimate reason for anyone to miss this sale. It's looking to be one fantastic weekend. $0.99 + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2010-08-03 :: Category: Books Judge Dredd vs. Zombies Review+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad2000 AD's futuristic super cop blasts the walking dead in this new action shooter from UK's Rebellion.

Read The Full Review » Who doesn't want to be inside a comic book? Exactly. While ComicBook! doesn't exactly enable this, it does at least ensure that its users can pretend to feature in a comic book. In case it isn't already obvious, ComicBook! is a comic book creation app enabling users to star in their own adventures with the ability to add realistic comic styling, captions, graphics and multi-panel page layouts. Finally, everyone can kapow their way out of trouble. Options are pretty varied with a whole plethora of different graphics and layouts to use. There are 55 comic book style illustrations alone that can be included in a composition. It's simple enough to add photos and it's even simpler to go onto share such creations via Facebook, Twitter or email. Users can even print out their creations from within the app if they so choose to. The only real limitation is the depth of the user's imagination which can certainly be inspired by this app. ComicBook! looks set to be a very entertaining app for young and old alike. It's available now as an universal app and priced at only $0.99 for a limited time. $2.99 + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2011-07-05 :: Category: Photography One of America's classic pulp heroes from the 1930s is coming, again, to the silver screen in January of 2011. That's right, in, like, a few weeks from today. In honor of and preparation for the film's release, Dynamite Entertainment (publisher of the comic series, that's plural) and comiXology (makers of an exceptionally good comic book reading app and subscription site) have come together to release an app centered around the Green Hornet's fiction. Those familiar with the comiXology site and application will certainly feel right at home with this little collection. The presentation, the reading software and the fluid navigation are all present except they've been done up in green and black in honor of the Green Hornet and his trusty sidekick, Kato. Download the free app and you'll get access to free samples and full issues (for purchase) across six different series. In total, 29 books are here for nerds new and old, while even the samples typically come in at about 10 pages in length. Fans of the old Green Hornet lore should know that these new runs by Dynamite rock in with new plots and a new rogues gallery. And, yes, the Kevin Smith you see listed as an author on some of these titles is really that Kevin Smith. Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob, Zak and Miri. That guy. Bet you didn't know he wrote comics. And, like that, it's all coming together. Sure, you could absolutely write this production off as nothing more than comiXology in green, but where's the fun in that? The project serves as a great launching point for fans looking to dive deeper into the Green Hornet story than what will be offered in theaters later this month. FREE! + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2011-01-05 :: Category: Books WMDs ReviewiPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPadThere's a fair amount of glitz up front, but underneath it all is a rather generic comic book. Read The Full Review » Not having iOS 4.0 on the iPad is a total drag for a number of reasons, one being that you can't listen to your iTunes music unless the app has built in music access. ComicBookPad 1.0 works around the limitations of iOS 3.x and lets you use the app as well as iTunes simultaneously, something that can't been done on many other book readers in the app store. "There are quite a few comic book readers for iOS," commented the founder Radi Danchev. "But none have both full iPad optimization, and iTunes plus reader capability." As well as the nice iTunes functionality, ComicBookPad 1.0 is also designed to be "glitch-free, with no choppy images, sluggishness, or lags." When the desired comic book is launched, ComicBookPad loads all of the pages into the cache, enabling you to flip through the pages at an speed desired. The best part of all is that the animations are done right, moving to the next page without any strange animation jerks when you go for a page turn. Book navigation has also been a challenge on many comic book readers, but ComicBookPad has seemingly fixed this with a large navigation bar in the bottom that is as handy as it looks. Like all comic book readers, ComicBookPad 1.0 supports all the major comic book formats (.cbr, .cbz, .rar, and .zip), has a quick zoom feature, and a bookmark system. With iOS 4.x coming soon to the iPad, the whole music aspect of the app will soon be a non-issue, but ComicBookPad still looks like a solid app if you are looking for an iPad comic book reader. iPad Comics Review: Sin City and 300iPad Only App - Designed for the iPadBrilliant collection of brilliant comic books.

Industrial Hemp And Medical Marijuana Industry Stocks Create Massive Volume As America's Investment Community Rushes To Get In On The Green Rush Industry Explosion
Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent activity in the markets has pushed the industrial hemp and medical marijuana sectors to new heights, setting a record volume for Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP).
Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), apparently has it all covered. "We are in the midst of another industry spike although with this much volume across the board we are now entering a sustained growth curve for this sector of public companies. Within the past 3 weeks alone, there has been close to 3 billion shares traded amongst the industrial hemp and medical marijuana industry, roughly translating into almost
$200 million.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121107/LA08133LOGO)
This clearly indicates to the investment community that this industry is here to stay and that they want in at the beginning of the next growth curve. Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), the industry leader that led the last growth curve back in 2009 with a 480% increase, is, again, leading the industry in 2013 as its CEO, Bruce Perlowin, predicted. According to Perlowin, the pioneer of the industry, the last spike was only a precursor to what is happening now in an industry that is officially "unstoppable."
This new wave of activity has prompted Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) to step up its focus on one of its newly most profitable divisions " The Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Consulting Company, Inc." Perlowin stated, "I know where all the gold is hidden in this industry, every nuance of business niche, what will work and won't work, what has been tried before and what new ideas and concepts for the industry will fly or fail. When I'm not sure of something, or it's in one of the many areas outside my particular expertise then I know who to go to, who is an expert in this area and who more likely than not will immediately know all the answers or where to find them quickly. Our consulting division is extremely diverse and broad."
" The Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Consulting Company, Inc." pulls industry information from a vast network of specialists that consists of other public industry, public companies' CEOs and networks of experts, bankers, investors, lawyers, other consultants, industry analysts, and non-profits connected to this industry as well as the traditional industry experts in all areas of the various business opportunities the industry presents. As the only CEO of two publicly traded companies in this sector, Perlowin, along with David Tobias (Hemp, Inc.'s President and the only executive officer of two publicly traded companies in this sector) have an unrivaled wealth of knowledge and experience. This culmination of knowledge and experience has even attracted the attention of banks, which want in on the billions of dollars flowing through the public company sector of this industry. As one of the largest publicly-traded companies of hemp stocks in the United States, by market capitalization, Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) has poised itself as the leader in the industry. The company (Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP)) has been dousing the industrial hemp market with hemp-based products, expanding its divisions and working to complete the spin-off of non-core related subsidiaries. Strategist and CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) Bruce Perlowin has also laid out the most powerful and profitable purchasing mechanism in the history of marketing which he calls the " Quantum Economic Purchasing Matrix." This is the next phase of moving from a developmental stage company to an operating company which means a full scale launch under their sales and marketing program. Full implementation of this humanity-serving model is now set for sometime next week, earlier than we expected. (Listen to recorded conference call here.) This humanity-serving model is no easy feat even for a man who knows every nuance of the industry and who pioneered solutions for the industry such as a tax remittance card. With this card, Hemp, Inc. is able to track all taxes collected, on a daily basis, and remit the proper amount of tax to the proper authorities based upon their requirements. This can be a windfall for state and local governments. Along with the tax remittance card, Hemp, Inc. offers other comprehensive solutions to the industry that covers inventory control which tracks products from seed to sale; educational expos; and seminars to educate entrepreneurs on the shifting laws and realities of the medical marijuana and industrial hemp industry.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Infectious Disease Epidemiology Program
Vector-borne Diseases
Malaria Information
Malaria is a serious, and sometimes fatal, disease caused by a parasite that infects a certain type of mosquito. The disease is transmitted when an infected mosquito feeds on a human. People infected with the malaria parasite become ill with high fevers, shaking chills and flu-like illness. If not properly treated the infection can progress and may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma and death. Malaria is a curable disease if diagnosed and treated promptly and correctly.
Approximately 1,500 cases of Malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year. The majority of cases in the United States are in immigrants and travelers returning from countries where malaria is endemic, such as sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia.

I just ordered some Nitrean/Creatine from you guys but I was wondering exactly what amount of creatine I should take.
This will be my first cylce. My goal is to add about 10lbs by around August 10th not counting the excess water weight added by the creatine. I'm about to start a new routine after I finish resting this week and will be using creatine for the first time. I weigh 210-215 lbs (depending on time of day) with maybe 12% BF or so.
Are there any suggestions you can give me about the amount to take during loading/maintenance, the amount of time to spend loading and should I wait to "sort of" plateu in my routine before starting or not really bother?
I'm really hoping that the extra weight as well as the creatine will help me put up some big numbers on bench by the end of the summer as that's my main goal ..
Thanks a lot..

Re: autoCollectorSource fail("logical node not mapped to physical node yet" )
Hi Deepak,
How about re-mapping(unmap and map again) collector? I tested with latest version of 0.9.4 which our system are running on currently and found that it seems there are some problems with node mapping info. and translation in master at restart; our setup is under multi-masters so I've never used logical sink/source. Anyway, I will check further into source code level.

A Narrative Short film about a young woman who seeks refuge from towards the stars because of an abusive relationship. Read more
A Narrative Short film about a young woman who seeks refuge from towards the stars because of an abusive relationship.
About this project
We've been featured on Fogs' Movie Reviews!
Hi. My name is Max Covill. I am a 26-year-old film director from Warwick, RI. I am currently a CE student at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). I recently directed a short film about a young woman who seeks refuge in the stars from an abusive relationship. The film is set in New England in the current day.
The film is my thesis project for my certificate at The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). I decided to go above and beyond the requirements for this video to really make it something to be proud of, so I hired actors, worked with SAG (The Screen Actors Guild), wrote my own script, and secured the locations, props and wardrobe needed. We really need your help to make this project a success.
Light and Dust is a short film about a young woman, Heather, who seeks refuge in the stars because of an abusive relationship. Heather must realize that there is more to life than security if she wishes to accomplish her dreams.Here is a look at the people involved with Light and Dust:
Director/Director of Photography/Producer/Writer: Max Covill
Max currently attends a certificate program at The Rhode School of Design (RISD), where he wrote and directed the short film Time to Remember. Throughout his time at RISD he has studied Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Adobe After Effects, and the Art of Making Movies. This is his final project in order to receive his certificate for Digital Film Production.
Starring: Casey McDougal
Casey most recently appeared in Frank the Bastard, due out in 2012. She also appeared in the short film The Girl of His Dreams. Her other credits include Through the Woods and After Last Season. She is a part of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). She is a graduate from University of Connecticut with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Acting. For more information on Casey, please visit her website: http://caseymcdougal.com/
Starring: Ryan Boudreau
Ryan most recently appeared in Jonah as the lead, Francis. His other films include 2 A.M., and The Cockle Cove Inn. For more information on Ryan, please visit his website: http://www.ryanboudreauactor.com/
Support Crew:
Shannon Haskins - wardrobe, makeup, hair
Ben Knight - Gaffer
Aaron Bouchard - Sound Mixing
Why We Need Your Help:
Any amount is useful! We appreciate any help you can provide!
$7,000+ has already gone into the production of the film! $3,000 was the lowest we could go.
This will be an incredibly intense and rigorous time where every cent counts. All funds will be going towards the payment for the EQUIPMENT, lights, cameras, rigs, you name it. Of course, the TALENT also would like to be paid. The securing of LOCATIONS, TRANSPORTATION, CREW, heavy equipment moving, and, of course, SET DESIGN is needed. In addition, production elements such as MUSIC and SCORING will be completed as well.
We want to make this the best possible film we can and with your support we'll be able to secure a professionally composed score as well as complete the post-production work needed to bring Light and Dust to the next level.

Date — 27 April, 2011
The son of a Lutheran minister, Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Röcken, a village in Prussian Saxony. His extraordinary artistic and linguistic gifts had already been noticed at school. During his youth, Nietzche played a great deal of music and composed numerous pieces for the piano. In 1864, he was admitted to Bonn University, where he studied classical philology and evangelical theology.
At the age of 24 he was appointed professor of classical philology at the University of Basel. However, he was prevented from carrying out his teaching duties with increasing frequency by problems with his nerves and eyes combined with the violent migraine attacks that had plagued him since his childhood. After ten years in Basel he was forced to give up his chair.
Driven by his suffering and in search of climatic conditions better suited to his condition, Friedrich Nietzsche travelled far and wide and lived as a writer in Sils-Maria, Nice, Genoa, Turin and Rapallo, where he wrote the first part of his major work "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) in just ten days.
At the age of 44 he suffered a nervous breakdown and his mental illness took its course. For the rest of his life, he was in the care and under the guardianship of his mother, followed by his sister, until he died, totally deranged, at the age of 55. His rapidly gathering fame, which had already begun during his lifetime, was something of which he remained oblivious.

Workshop: The 7 Bright Spots to Designing Your Fatherhood Program
The 7 Bright Spots to Designing Your Fatherhood Program™ is a fun, highly-interactive one-day workshop that teaches a simple, flexible approach to the design of fatherhood programs and services…but not just any fatherhood program or service, your program or service. After all you know better than anyone the challenges you face and the opportunities that lie in front of you. You will also have the opportunity to network with and learn from others who face similar challenges and who also have a strong desire to serve fathers and their families.
Read More / Read Less
NFI has scoured the country for nearly 20 years in search of the "bright spots" that individuals and organizations have discovered to create exceptional fatherhood programs and services. NFI has identified 7 of these community-invented solutions that we have shared with thousands of individuals and organizations across the country. We'll share them with you and help you determine which of them and how many of them you can leverage. But that's not all. We'll also teach you the 3 keys to discover and unlock the power of the bright spots that might be sitting right under your nose and in your community. Use these keys to create a unique, exceptional fatherhood program or service that meets the needs of your organization and the fathers, families, and communities you serve.
Workshop: Social Marketing for Fatherhood Programs
Perhaps the most significant challenges faced by fatherhood programs are recruitment and retention. No matter how well designed your program or service may be, if you can't get fathers to use it or to keep coming back, you're wasting your time. Social marketing isn't commercial marketing. This two-day workshop shows participants the difference between getting people to switch ketchup brands and getting people to change attitudes, beliefs and behavior.
Read More / Read Less
The keystones of social marketing are a consumer orientation and research-driven program planning, design, development, and evaluation. The goal of social marketing is to influence the voluntary behavior of targeted audiences with specific messages, materials, interventions, and services designed to meet their needs and wants. What makes social marketing a unique approach in the fatherhood field is that it brings marketing principles to our understanding of how to influence voluntary behavior. When combined with behavior-change theories from the social science, and with social-science research methods, this approach helps practitioners to create and modify services in ways that are consistent with what clients need and want and to design messages that will overcome individual, cultural, and logistical barriers to behavior change.
- We'll teach you how to understand what your target audience needs and wants, which forms the basis of what motivates someone to seek out your your program or service.
- We'll show you how to design materials and messages that tap into that motivation.
- You will walk away from Social Marketing for Fatherhood Programs™ with a solid foundation for marketing your program or service.
- You will have time to apply what you learn to your own program, so no matter which group of dads you serve or want to serve, you'll leave with a crystal-clear strategy on how to develop a marketing plan.
Workshop: Community Mobilization for Fatherhood Programs
Community Mobilization For Fatherhood Programs helps your organization learn how to create lasting change in your community by working to engage all sectors of society to increase the number of children who grow up with involved, responsible fathers.

- Other cities, counties, and states that have successfully implemented the Community Mobilization Approach

It is a stepping stone to help you successfully engage dads and strengthen the families in your community!

This workshop is essential if you are looking to create new programs and services for dads or to enhance your existing work with dads.You will:

You can apply this model regardless of the type of father(s) served by your existing or planned fatherhood program. You will be able to identify and address key issues such as:
Read More / Read Less
- Agency and staff barriers to marriage support, navigating marriage and public policy, understanding when a father in your program may need pre-marital or marriage guidance, engaging other community sectors and assets to achieve better outcomes
- Along with many other issues that are critical for your program to foster healthy relationships between moms and dads.

For the CL-415 I'm initially going with the EMax 2822 that came installed in the CL-415. It looks to be a bit more powerful than your motors and should deliver 130-150 watts. http://www.headsuprc.com/servlet/the...ushless/Detail I'm looking at alternatives if that motor turns out to be inadequate but videos seem to suggest it will do the job. I am using HobbyKing 30A ESCs to allow some room for expansion. One thing we have learned with the Polaris is that an oversize ESC is very good insurance. While for Polaris, a 25A ESC would seem to be enough, in practice 40A has become the standard and as a result overheating and failure problems have essentially disappeared. Others may have some specific suggestions for motor based on direct experience. In your current situation, I would experiment with propellers. I see references to 8x6 or 9x4.7 being used with your motor and developing significantly more power than the 8x3.5. I know this precludes using counter rotation, but I don't see that as a major problem. |

I have the ESCs in the nacelles behind the motors. I stripped the covers off of them for better cooling and opened up the chin scoops to allow more air flow through the nacelles. I have had no problem with overheating of the ESCs. I considered using capacitors on the long leads like I do on my bigger twins but decided that with this setup it was not neccessary and not worth the extra weight. At least fifty flights off of the water with no problems. Make sure that you waterproof the ESCs every year with CorrosionX or some other method.

I'm also looking for an authentic prop for the CL-415, that's to say a 4-blade prop. I tried the 6x3 from Graupner, but it's a bit too weak. Anyone have any ideas from anyone where to purchase a not too expensive 4-blader? |

Bad news for me. I attempted to maiden this spring with someone assisting me in handlaunch and the plane just nosed dived right out of the guys hands into the ground. Nose got busted up and broke the plywood wing mount. Got it all back together and decided it would be best to maiden at a lake since I would have a super long runway to work with.
Went to remaiden this weekend. Saturday night was dead calm, all the boats had cleared off the lake, and the water was glassy smooth. Did some taxi tests and the props kept catching water and gurgling. I had seen this before though in youtube videos of the plane and it seems like the plane will end up powering thru it. Decided to fly it. Started the takeoff run, props were gurgling here and there, started to power out of it and get on step. Plane started to look light and take flight. Then all of a sudden as it was starting lift, it just dug into the water nose first, and then flipped over onto it's back! I just stood there stunned for a minute! I couldn't decide to swim out and get it or run up and grab my kayak (which was stored away behind a shed). Decided to kayak and it took several minutes getting out out and carrying it down the steep shore. By the time I got out there, water was seeping in and it was starting to sink! It was sitting pretty low in the water. The motors were beeping and twitching. I unplugged the battery and got it to shore. I let everything dry and decided to power up the plane and see what the damage was. Servos all seemed to work fine but the motors were twitching and the right ESC started smoking within 30 seconds. Unplugged everything quickly and luckily no fire. Battery was a turnigy 2200mah and it seems to be fine. I guess the motors and esc are toast. I will see about getting new ones eventually. Really bummed at what happened. I'm still not really sure what had caused it? Im thinking maybe cg was too far forward although I balanced it at the recommended spot. I installed extra velcro and the battery couldn't really move? I had added up elevator to keep the nose up on takeoff. I am running 3 blade props and my other possible explanation is that I was rolling on the power smoothly and by the time I got to full power, due to the high placement of the props/motors, the change in torque, p-factor, and power, added to the nose in, downward motion. Maybe I need more throw on the elevator? I had plenty of power. Using the rc-timer 1400kv motors 2212-10's. Using 8x4 3 blade GWS props. Full throttle and the plane will pull out of my hands. Running counter rotating. Detrum 30amp ESCs. 9g HXT900 servos all around (the water proof claim seems to be holding up well). 11.1v 2200MAH battery. |

By creating an account, you agree to our terms of service.
More and more scientists are coming to the conclusion, that our thoughts are material. Some people don't even think about it. Our thoughts carry a certain information, they posses an energetics. All that we talk about, what we think about gives us those or other emotions. All our emotions have a force. As "destructive", and "constructive"All depends on how hard we "feel" our emotions, how exactly we try to express their.
What do you think about this?
I believe our thoughts are energy. A substance when we examine it up to the subatomic scale, it is just an energy because of the existence of 'electrons'. So I believe matter or material is the manifestation of energy in a compact form. Then we can answer the question; does energy generate the living form or the biochemical process (substance) generate energy, life or thoughts in the brain for example?
Your basic information is confused.
(a) There are no Scientific Measurements showing ENERGY differentials for THOUGHTS.
(b) THOUGHTS, in the context of Abstract Conceptions
(referred to as "Transcendental" conceptions such as Good/Evil, Right/Wrong/, Cowardice/Courage,
Hyporcrisy/Integrity, Vice/Virtue) are not known by any Scientific Means to exist in a Causal Relation to any Natural Phenomena.
(c) Your equation of both THOUGHT and EMOTION with FORCE is demonstrative of the common logical error designated the Fallacy of Equivocation.
(d) You have confused emotions with FORCE. There are no Scientific Measurements for anything designated a FORCE of EMOTION.
(e) There are no known Scientific Measurements for CONSTRUCTIVE and DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS or EMOTIONS showing a Causal Relation to any known Natural Phenomena.
(f) The context in which you refer to CONSTRUCTIVE and/or DESTRUTIVE Emotion is framed in a Metaphysical misunderstanding for Physical Phenomena.
(g) The MIND/BODY PROBLEM (MBP) has never been solved and you write in specific error when your public communications suggest to readers there is Scientific Consensus on the issue.
I addressed my response to Shil66 inadvertantly, but the arguments are intended for you to contemplate.
The obvious difficulty with your conclusions, are that you have no Scientific Evidences to support them.
(Neither does Shill66). You are publishing personal opinion, and you are inviting personal opinions, and you should know that Personal Opinions are never probative in the Natural Sciences.
If you are going to discuss Natural Phenomena, with Science as the basis of knowledge, you need to cite Scientific Facts, taken from Neuroscience, rather than attempt to pass off your confused personal opinion as some sort of Scientific Fact.
Your published conclusions are highly confused, and should not be mistaken for fact.
Bruce, I want to apologize to you before I'll start talking.Tell me please, if you have so outstanding knowledge, why do you take part in these discussions? Why don't you do it on other sites? I think, your knowledge might be able to be more appropriate there, than here?I only offered to discuss new topic, not more. And, you must be more respectful to the opinions of others.I can't agree with you and, at the same time, won't argue. Each view point worthy of respect and must exist.
"Tell me please, if you have so outstanding knowledge, why do you take part in these discussions?"---- Anastasiyah
You might begin by informing forum members Why---It---Is that you "take part in these discussions". After you clarify your intentions and purposes, I may be able to clarify my own reasons.
As it is, you published specific claims to start a discussion. It is your topic. What is your purpose?
(2) "Why don't you do it on other sites?
I think, your knowledge might be able to be more appropriate there, than here?"----Anastasiyah
In your initial post, you cited "scientists" as authoritative, and yet now, you cite your personal opinion as authoritative. You write that you "think" my "knowledge" might be "appropriate" but you have no clarification as to what IS or IS NOT APPROPRIATE.
It can be seen that you suggest that "science" knowledge is appropriate, and yet when I inform you as to Scientific Facts, you suggest that my remarks are not appropriate in a discussion of Neuroscience.
What exactly do you intend to discuss, and on what basis?
I wonder if you intend to practice discussion of a Science topic in English, or to engage in some kind of a superficial "spat," or do you want forum members to suppose that you are discussing Scientific Knowledge when actually, you aren't discussing Scientific Knowledge at all?
Dear Bruce, I've always interested in your opinion, I respect your scientific approach, but I please note, your approach is from the area of "Natural Sciences". And, what's the most interesting, you don't want to believe, that in our world there are not only Natural Sciences, and as well "Humanities science", as psychology. I expressed, in addition to "opinions of scientists", my own. You're on the side of "Natural Sciences", I'm not like you, I'm interested also in "Humanities science".
"You're on the side of "Natural Sciences", I'm not like you, I'm interested also in "Humanities science"."----Anastasiya
Sorry to have given you that impression my friend. I am "on the side of" all the Sciences, inclusive of Social Sciences and Neurosciences. The fact which remains is that you have no objective data from
any Science which substantiates your inquiry. You have no Scientific Evidence showing that THOUGHTS are MATERIAL.
Absent objective data, you are discussing nothing but your personal opinion, and it is highly confused and moreover, entirely unscientific.
If you have any Scientific Data whatseover, showing that THOUGHTS exist in a Causal Relation to any form of MATTER, or that any measurements of THOUGHTS exist, showing that THOUGHTS exert FORCE on MATTER, please identify your Scientific Data.
Our discussion reminds me of one out of our previous debates. When we were trying to figure "how our life is born" and "how we can return human to life after death". Then you couldn't explain me that it's real and exist some evidences, which can confirm that fact.
Ok, if you want, I can give an example, recently I've read some themes of Michael Laitman, are dedicated such a concept like "thought". Not only his works, of course.
This topic is not only my individual opinion. I tried to summarize some knowledge about this theme and express this one here, on this site.
Main purpose is I'd like to know opinions and thoughts of other people about it, and how people relate to such concepts.
"Ok, if you want, I can give an example, recently I've read some themes of Michael Laitman, are dedicated such a concept like "thought". Not only his works, of course.
This topic is not only my individual opinion. I tried to summarize some knowledge about this theme and express this one here, on this site."-----Anastasiya
Oh really? This is "not only" your "individual opinion"? What did you write that is anything other than your opinion to show that THOUGHTS----ARE---MATTER?
(a) You failed to cite any Scientific Evidence showing that THOUGHTS---ARE---MATTER.
(b) You failed to citany any Peer Reviewed Science Publication which informs people that
What are the books authored by Michael Laitman?
Are Michael Laitman's books Peer Reviewed Science Publications?
Do you know the difference between Peer Reviewed Science Publications and "Pop Science"?
With full respect, you're look like a stubborn little boy, who can't calm down.
I don't want to convince you, and more, sway you to my side.
You know, what we, russian, usually say in such situations: "who is more intelligent, he will finish first".
I'll be more intelligent.
Because I don't see any reason to waste my time and energy on meaningless debates.

Travis Porter is an American hip hop group from Decatur, Georgia. Ali and Quez are step brothers; the two met Strap while attending the same middle school. The three grew up together and in 2006 began exploring music.[1] The group's biggest hits are "Aww Yea", "Go Shorty Go", "Bananas", "Ayy Ladies", "Bring It Back" and "Make It Rain" produced by F-K-I. Travis Porter released a biographical film titled Proud to be a Problem on May 18, 2010.[2] Travis Porter has a YouTube channel with over 130 million views and a Twitter page.[3] In November 2010 the trio signed with Jive Records.[4]
Travis Porter consists of Lakeem "Ali" Mattox, Donquez "Quez" Woods[5][6] and Harold "Strap" Duncan.[7][8] The group started out as the Hard Hitters, but changed their name to Travis Porter in late 2008 to be more marketable.[9] Besides performing throughout the USA, Travis Porter has performed internationally. In 2008 the trio played in Kaiserslautern and Bamberg, Germany.[10][11] Travis Porter would quickly earned major popularity through their mixtapes, show performances & through social media. Four of their biggest underground hits include "Black Boy White Boy", "Uh Huh", "Go Shorty Go" & "All the Way Turnt Up". They appeared in one of Atlanta's biggest concerts, Birthday Bash, during the summer of 2010[12] and on the The Mo'Nique Show.[13] They performed with Canada's own Drake at BMI's Unsigned Artist showcase in Atlanta.[14] Though when they were unsigned they still worked with notable signed artist such as Roscoe Dash, Fast Life Yungstaz & Waka Flocka Flame.[15] Travis Porter was also featured on MTV Jams Feb 5.[16] The group also received Myspace's #1 unsigned group title.[17] Their single "Go Shorty Go" made it on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart and in fall 2010.[18] They also recently joined the BMI family.[when?] The trio was honored in the Underground Music Awards 2010 in New York City with other well-known underground artists like J. Cole with the "Most Dynamic Rap Group Duo" award.[19] Gucci Mane reportedly announced interest in signing Travis Porter to 1017 Brick Squad Records, saying "Just give me 12-15 songs. I don't know about that other stuff. Handle your business".[20] But the group would eventually end up signing a record deal with Jive Records.[21]
On December 22, 2010 their debut studio album single "Make it Rain" hit number 50 on the urban radio charts and debuted on the charts at number 97 then climbed to number 46. On October 7, 2011 RCA Music Group announced it was disbanding Jive Records along with Arista Records and J Records. With the shutdown, the group (and all other artists previously signed to these three labels) will release their future material on the RCA Records brand. [22][23] On February 7, 2011 Travis Porter released their second single entitled "Bring It Back".
In 2012, their single "Ayy Ladies" with Young Money rapper Tyga peaked at #56 on the Hot 100 and topped the Heatseekers Songs chart, becoming Porter's most successful song to date.[24] Their debut studio album, From Day 1, was released on May 29, 2012 on RCA Records and Porter House Music.[25]
On March 5, 2013 Travis Porter released their eleventh mixtape entitled Mr Porter.[26][27]
Travis Porter starred in their debut movie Red Rock, released on November 20, 2012.[28][29]
"All the Way Turnt Up" caused controversy with Roscoe Dash. After Roscoe Dash came up with the song and asked Travis Porter to be featured on it Travis Porter added the song to their mixtape causing fans to believe it was not Roscoe Dash's song, but Travis Porter's. Soon Roscoe Dash released another version of the song through his label Interscope Records featuring Soulja Boy.[30]
The song "Black Boy White Boy" caused a controversy when Young Dro and Yung L.A. said that the song title was initially theirs.[31]

Because China has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to use foreign reserves as an economic and political tool, America has much to lose from the rapidly growing ability of Chinese SWFs to acquire controlling interests in US corporations. One obvious strategic danger is that China may seek to gain control of critical sectors of the US economy – from ports and telecommunications to energy and defense.
Chinese SWFs with controlling interests in US corporations may also try to offshore jobs, managerial best practices, and research and development to China. Even worse, they may also seek to promote technology transfer while nabbing customers in the US. The effect of offshoring jobs and poaching markets hits America's economy immediately – just ask Michigan. Moving America's R&D, managerial elite, and technologies to China significantly reduces future American productivity and growth.
While China poses the most direct SWF threat, Russia and its growing SWF are no strangers to state capitalism and brass-knuckled trade policies either. Exhibit A is Russia's bullying of Europe and Ukraine over access to Russian natural gas reserves at reasonable prices.
Not all SWFs smack of foul play or abuse. As the poster child of a good SWF, Norway's petrodollar-financed fund provides countercyclical "fiscal stabilization." When oil prices are high, Norway adds to its SWF. If oil prices fall, they can draw down their SWF rather than slashing government expenditures.
Norway also knows that its declining oil reserves eventually will cease to be a major revenue source. By growing its SWF now, Norway generates wealth for future generations to continue living in the style that current oil revenues have made them accustomed to. For these reasons, Norway's SWF seeks to maximize its risk-adjusted financial returns – a primary requirement of efficient global markets.
However, the rapid emergence of SWFs calls for a coherent US policy. One major obstacle to swift action is the constructive role SWFs appear to be playing in the current global financial crisis in providing critical liquidity. This should not lull the US into a false sense of security.

Houston Dynamo
What a fantastic start to 2013 for Dynamo Charities! The annual Fire Sale was a great success and with the support of Dynamo season ticket holders, we were able to raise more than $40,000 for Dynamo Charities initiatives throughout the year. A huge thanks to everyone who made the event a success, from the BBVA Compass Stadium staff to the volunteers to Kroger for donating the bags and all of our sponsors. More than 700 season ticket holders purchased Dynamo gear, but the event went smoothly and I could not be more happy. A big thank you to Dynamo Charities board member Rob Denton for getting us "squared" away on credit card readers.
At the Fire Sale, we also sold 50 seats for Dine with the Dynamo (or Picnic with the Players as I call it) set for April 16 at the stadium. Limited tickets remain, so I encourage everyone to act quickly. Seats can be purchased at www.houstondynamo.com/sidekicks. Proceeds from the event, along with funds from Rotary Club of Houston Skyline, will help fund a youth soccer field on the east side of downtown.
This week, we honored Calen Carr and the Dynamo staff for their work with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Many of the Dynamo front office have "littles" now at Rusk Elementary, and we all know it takes more than a knee injury to keep Calen from hanging out with his "little".
Our sponsor, Halliburton Charitable Foundation, is offering an easy way for fans to raise money for Dynamo Charities. Halliburton will donate $5 for every "like" or "share" that we receive on this post. Please take two seconds to hit the button, so we can continue to put on great events in the Houston community.
We will soon announce details for your chance to golf at the TPC with some of the Dynamo players – hold your calendar for Monday, April 22 and look for information on how to register for the Tommy Bahama Golf Tournament.
Also, don't forget Houston Tour de Cure on Saturday, September 21. You can sign up today and start raising money at: www.diabetes.org/houstontourdecure. Please contact Marc Vasquez if your company would like to sponsor us and have their logo be part of the coolest bike jersey in town.
In future blogs I'll share details on more great events including: Go for Goal 5K and Diesel Fun Run, when you can get a really good haircut (think just in time for school) and a new event where we will have a toy drive at the stadium.
Please check back for my next blog or follow me on Twitter (@dynamochrtytony) for more regular updates.

Sen. Pryor Rips Rep. Cotton's Vote Against Student Loan Bill
Pryor's re-election campaign on Thursday called Cotton's vote against the student loan measure a sign that the Republican is "far outside the mainstream." Cotton was one of six Republicans in the House who voted against the measure on Wednesday.
The bill links student loan interest rates to the financial markets. The bill would offer lower rates for most students now but higher rates down the line if the economy improves as expected.
Cotton, who is expected to join the Senate race next week, defended his vote against the measure.
