Anyone love their Capital Precision range?
I'm seriously considering the 36" range, but while there's lots of love for the CC, I don't get the same feel for the Precision. Anyone love theirs?
Also, do you get the self clean or not? I wasn't planning on doing a self-clean but am thinking that using the rotisserie without self cleaning might be a pain.
Why wouldn't you want the culanarian? The presicion doesn't have the same cult following cause its the same as every other pro style range available. The CC is in the high powered open burner club that has only 3 members...actually, more like 2 and a half members, as the american range is only available in 30 and 36 inch sizes.
The Precision is a very good sealed burner range. I have a CC. A few years ago, when I started looking at ranges, the CC wasn't available. But after doing a lot of research, I had narrowed it down to a Precision. At the time, I thought it was the best value in sealed burner ranges, balancing features, quality and price.
Then I found out that there was a high BTU open burner range rated for residential use and I totally switched gears, focusing on the BS. By the time I was ready to purchase a range, the CC had come out. I was excited that it was a range and brand that I was already familiar with, since the CC was built on the Precision platform. Having used my CC for a few months now, I think the Precision platform is very good.
One thing to note is that rotisserie is only available with self-clean. I think that's the same for both CP and CC. I have the CC self-clean and the cleaning feature works very well.
If you can't fit a CC or any open burner range in the budget, I think the Precision is still a great value.
There's at least one other GW member, beekeeperswife, who had a Precision. May she will see this thread and comment.
I own a Precision, which was bought prior to the Culinarian being accounced, and I am extremely pleased with it. If you search you should find a number of older posts discussing it. For the most part people seemed to share my very positive impression. There was an issue at one point with burner valves not being properly adjustable and with small pots tipping due the grate design. The valve issue was repairable and was no longer an issue by the time I bought my range. The grates were apparently redesigned to deal with the tipping problem. I have the old grates and I own one small pot that I have to be careful with but it's never actually tipped and my understanding is that the new design solves this in any event. The flame pattern is directed towards the outside of pots on higher heat, as is typical of sealed burners, but the burner circumfrence is smaller than many sealed burners.
I find that if one uses fully clad cookware and errs on the side of wider pots you can use high hear while keeping the flames under the pot instead of up the sides, harnessing most of the 19K BTU's with reasonably even heat across the bottom. I recently bought some fully clad Henckell pots that are a bit wider than the All Clad pots of the same volume, and they are working very well for me. My old disk bottom pots wehere fine on the old Frigidaire builder's grade range, but on the Precisions the heat would be less even and I would get burning on the edges of the disk where the bottom met the sides. This is no longer a problem.
My one complaint, which I have mentioned in another post, is cleaning the burner caps and the metal rings surrounding the burners (meant to protect the stainless finish). They are a blueish porcelain coated (I think) metal. Grease burns on and polymerizes on them - and sticks like bark to a tree. Capital recommended soaking them with Dawn and I have tried all manner of degreaser but nothing seems to budge it. The same thing happens on the burner grates themselves, but the grates have a blacker finish so it's not nearly as noticeable. It remains a great looking applaince and I've reconciled myself to the fact that it looks like a range someone uses to cook.
My 30 Capital Precision is due tomorrow. After reading all the discussion over the simmer problems with the CC I am hoping the Precision doesn't suffer a similar problem, as I loved the simmer burner of my old GE range which I sold today. I will be happy to report out once I get cooking on my new range.

Op-Ed: Coming Out and 'The Politics of Shame, Silence and Story'
October 11, 2013 by HRC staff
In a new op-ed in the Huffington Post, HRC's Director of Strategic Relations Hayden writes how a recent sidewalk confrontation reminded him how quickly hate and fear can leave you feeling powerless, and how loving yourself and sharing your story can help others can do the same.
I know that isolation is the thing that keeps these lies in place and grants them power. I know that telling our stories, breaking that isolation, is the only way to transform that dynamic. … We must tell our stories [not just] to change the minds of strangers who might do us harm, so that one day we'll be safe to walk down our streets, but that we must keep telling our stories, wholly and completely, to those who love us, so that they can hold and support us and sustain us today.
Read Hayden's powerful reflections on coming out as a trans man and overcoming shame and silence in the full op-ed here. You can find a number of resources from HRC on coming out - including HRC's Transgender Visibility Guide - at hrc.org/comingout.

Abele responds
This week I wrote about County Executive Chris Abele and the abrupt firing of Parks Director Sue Black.
I wrote that I was disappointed in Abele for the firing since it smacked of the usual kind of political head hunting and I had hopes that he was above all of that.
I heard back from him via a message on my Facebook page. Here's his message:
"Hey, David.
"Last time you wrote about me I recall having an opportunity to chat, which is always enjoyable, and whether or not you agreed with me, at least you'd know what my point of view was. I apologize for whatever behavior warranted the revocation of that privilege.
"If I wrote an article about your article without asking you about it, I might say, 'Despite a long history of voluntary support for numerous environmental causes and specifically Milwaukee County Parks, despite a long friendship with Sue Black, despite a habit of making thoughtful and deliberated decisions (in the last year, despite inheriting from Walker a $55 MM defecit (sic) yet still balancing a budget while ADDING funding for improving services at the Behavioral Health Division, restoring funding for transit, ADDING funding for Universal Screening (at the DA's long request), ending furlough days, adding domestic partner benefits, and specifically saying that the decision with Sue was neither easy or quickly made and based on performance and not wanting to share details [all of which might lead an outsider to think of a County Exec who had generally done exactly what he said he would and had a long history of supporting parks probably had a pretty good reason, and asking him about it probably wouldn't lead to much harm], Begel chose to publish his judgement (sic) that Abele could not possibly have had any reason to do this that the author would have found adequate.' But I like you and I'd give you a call to hear your thoughts first.
"I'm hoping that when I don't hand the parks over to Haliburton (sic) management, when I don't slash the Parks budget, and when the staff at Parks (who, incidentally, were a lot more supportive of this decision that I'm guessing you might expect) continue to do the great work that they do, that I might have my 'hearing my side of the story before publishing' privileges reinstated. : )
"Hope you're well,
That's the message. From start to finish. His point about calling him for comment is well taken, but this isn't my first rodeo. He wasn't about to tell me anything that he already hadn't said a hundred times already.
As I said, I think Abele is a good county executive. I supported him before and I support him now. But, as my sainted grandmother used to say, "Everybody makes mistakes; just don't make too many."
I still believe firing Black was a mistake. The idea that she was a maverick doesn't rise to the level of a firing offense. If it's something else, something much more serious, tell us and we'll move on. If not, let's just let this go and make sure that he continues to fulfill the great promise he's already shown in this job.
And Chris, I hope you and your family are well, as well.
Jfkfc | Aug. 30, 2012 at 3:48 p.m. (report)
Good job Chris - calling a spade a spade. The original article was much more harsh and critical than the first few sentences of this article suggest. What should have happened, front the start, was the author getting Chris's side of the story before printing an obviously reactive, knee-jerk article based on assumptions and hearsay. Again, good job Chris!

Abele owes us what we were told nothing more. All you salacious gossip mongers are exactly why we can't get good people in office. He's the boss, she did not perform to his expectations in some areas , nobody seems to be complaining at the parks dept. Leave it alone. As for the "garbage" person, don't crap where you eat hot shot and try getting a life. Kiss Kiss Jerk off

AndrewJ | Aug. 24, 2012 at 1:53 p.m. (report)
Holy cow... That is the longest sentence I have ever seen in my life. I am beyond impressed that he was able to continually stroke himself for that long. Which would mark the first time I've been impressed by anything Chris Abele has done. Although, technically, I suppose he can claim "I only wrote one sentence about myself". Never mind the fact it was 196 words long.

The joint integrated Electronic Health Record system being developed by the Veterans Affairs and Defense department will be deployed nationwide from 2014 to 2017, and development work on the system will be ongoing during that period, Roger Baker, chief information officer for the VA, said on May 23.
Baker, speaking in a conference call with reporters, said there are 127 existing medical applications that need to be "addressed" in the new joint "iEHR" system. That means some forms of the existing applications would be migrated from legacy systems to the new system, or similar functionalities would be developed in the new joint system.
Although work has already started, development is likely to be continuing on most of the 127 applications during the deployment period starting in 2014, Baker said.
"The bulk of the applications won't be in the new system" as of 2014, he said. Many of the applications will continue to run in the existing legacy systems, VA's "VistA" and DOD's "AHTLA" while the development work continues, he added.
During the 2014 to 2017 period, those dozens of applications will continue to be replaced and functionality developed in the new system, Baker said.
Baker also said the new joint system will have four layers, including a data map to the Healthcare Data Dictionary, an enterprise service bus for messaging between the data and the applications, the applications and a common graphical user interface.
Both the Defense and VA have agreed to build an open source ecosystem for software for their joint record, Baker said.
"We are committed to moving down that path," Baker said. "It is not easy. It is a new way of doing things and we are breaking new ground."

Salon sponsors benefit for local animal sanctuary
Ab Fab Salon & Spa, Inc., has partnered with Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary to sponsor the Second Annual Cuts for Mutts in Rockford. Cuts for Mutts was started to raise money to support the increasing needs of the overgrowing animal population in the community. The first year of the event raised $1,000 for Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary to continue their nonprofit services for Rockford. For 31 years, the nonprofit, volunteer-run animal sanctuary has taken in stray, abandoned and abused animals from Rockford and the surrounding area. Once at the Sanctuary, the animals receive medical care and are placed for adoption in qualified homes.
We are setting the second year goal to $2,500 and are optimistic that we will be successful in exceeding it,
says Michael VanHorn, owner of Ab Fab Salon & Spa, Inc. As a proud father of two cats and two dogs that he adopted from a shelter, VanHorn believes very strongly in supporting Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary and their efforts to rescue abandoned animals and find them new, loving homes.
The Cuts for Mutts benefit will be from 1-5 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 23, at Ab Fab Salon & Spa, Inc., 5643 E. State St., Suite 3, Rockford. Patrons who bring items for the Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary needs list (www.noahsarkanimals.org) will receive discounted select services from Ab Fab Salon & Spa, Inc. (www.abfabsalonandspa.com). There will be a silent auction and pull tabs to raise additional money for the cause. Pug Dog Diner will participate by selling food with the proceeds going toward Noah's Ark. Better Image Photography will be on hand for photo ops.
For more information, call Michael VanHorn at (815) 708-8557, Ab Fab Salon & Spa, Inc., or Marcia Brice at (815) 962-2767 at Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary.

REGINA -- Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) has developed a secure prototype of the certificate of Indian status card.
The card will be made available this summer, but whether it can be used in place of a passport next year, when more stringent rules will be in place covering documentation needed to cross the United States border, is not known.
"I hope we are going to be able to utilize that card to be able to do what we do as First Nations people to enhance our spirituality by allowing us to practise our culture," said Mike Pinay, a Regina elder.
He believes the proposed changes to crossing the border will have a negative effect on First Nations people because it will restrict their right to freely enter and leave the U.S.
"In reality as the keepers of the land, the Jay Treaty should be honoured," said Pinay, who noted First Nations people crossed the border between Canada and the U.S. before there was a border. The Jay Treaty of 1794 guaranteed the right of aboriginal people to trade and travel between the two countries.
Although Pinay holds out hope the new secure status card will satisfy security concerns, he is concerned about the impact on First Nations people if it doesn't. He said people like himself, who have family on both sides of the border, will be the most affected. He said those who travel frequently to attend powwows or ceremonies have already been feeling the effects of tighter border security.
In March 2005, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), a security and economic accord, was signed by Canada, the United States and Mexico. One area the three countries agreed to look at was combating terrorism.
"Canada Border Service Agency is in discussion with Homeland Security, or was at some point in time, about the different identification that may be used to cross the border," said INAC spokesperson Margot Geduld.
Although she said the new cards have several security features, it's not known if the cards will replace a passport.
"That's a decision that's up to Homeland Security," said Geduld.
The new status card includes several national and international security standards and was created in consultation with the Canada Border Service Agency.
The cards were developed to help reduce the risk of fraud or stolen identity. Any individual who is entitled to be registered as an Indian as defined by the Indian Act can apply for a status card.
The old laminated status cards will no longer be produced once the new secure cards are made available this summer. It's not mandatory to apply for the new card. Some of the benefits of having the updated card include ease of use, improved client service and fewer cards being rejected by service providers, explained Geduld.
The card will still be available at no cost and will need to be updated every five years. It's not mandatory to apply for the new card.
In the new year those entering the U.S. by land or sea will need to show a WHTI-compliant document or government-photo identification such as a driver's licence, as well as proof of residence such as a birth certificate.
It is expected that by the summer, full requirements for land and sea crossing as outlined in the WHTI will be implemented.
Homeland Security officials couldn't be reached due to the American Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.
Details on the secure status card can be found online (www.ainc-inac.gc.ca).

I cooked several pounds of hamburger meat and froze it--can I use it in a recipe and freeze it, or will it taste bad? Thanks.
Yes, you can. It will be okay. It may loose a little quality in flavor and texture, but with spicy recipies like chili or spaghetti sauce the difference is negligible. It is safe. I usually prefer to freeze the meat in cartons and then add it to a recipe I'm assembling for serving the same day. That assembly may well include thawing out some beans, rice, or spaghetti sauce or whatever and concocting some dish from it all.

Swing actions regression?
I have a Swing application that targets Java 5, and as such can't take advantage of improvements to javax.swing.Action in Mustang. Specifically, the same action requires a different (16x16) icon in the menu bar compared with the toolbar (24x24). Although Mustang adds the LARGE_ICON property to support this, I can't use this in Java 5. I worked around this for Java 5 by creating a "wrapper" action with the bigger icon for the toolbar, wrapping the "real" action added to the menu bar: the workaround makes the wrapper action a PropertyChangeListener for the real action.
However, this stopped working in Mustang (I've been using very recent builds). In Java 5, when the property "enabled" is changed (this is frequent occurrence in my application, based on context), the toolbar icons are enabled/disabled (drawn ghosted) in the toolbar as expected. In Mustang, it doesn't happen.
I looked at this, and it seemed that with both Java 5 and Java 6, calling "Action.setEnabled(true|false)" always correctly fires the property change event, but in Java 6, for the toolbar at least, when I propagate the property change for "enabled", nothing happens.
This is the workaround my "ActionToolBarWrapper" uses:
public void propertyChange(final PropertyChangeEvent evt)
if ("enabled".equals(evt.getPropertyName()))
...whereas in Java 5, only the last line in the method body was required.
Is this a bug or an implementation detail that's affecting me?
I completely agree with Jeanette on this one. The core problem is that putValue("enabled", ...) and getValue("enabled") do not necessarily map to that of setEnabled/isEnabled for AbstractAction. I can easily fix this for AbstractAction, but I'm not sure if Chris is using AbstractAction. Chris, are you extending AbstractAction? Have you overriden any of the methods other than actionPerformed?
I am indeed extending AbstractAction. Following on from your explanations on the bug report, I can see that in fact logically the pre-1.6 implementations were probably wrong to support the getValue/putValue (the "values" aren't really "properties", they're different in a subtle way, I didn't think it through enough at first).
I probably could change my code to be "correct", but I suspect dropping the implementation detail for correctness would break a lot of code.
Answering your other question, I didn't override anything other than actionPerformed.
- Chris
Hi Chris,
Ok, I'll change AbstractAction's putValue("enabled")/getValue("enabled") to access the enable field directly. That way your code will work without change on 1.6 and all will be well.
The related JavaDesktop forum thread is at http://www.javadesktop.org/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=2&threadID=22165&m.... The resulting bug is at http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6371910.

> 1910.
Without seeing the discussion you linked to, the drive of the bug report is a bit unclear to me, so it's hard to comment - will try anyway
there must never be an inconsistency between a newValue as reported by the pCE and the property value returned by querying the source directly (assuming we know the type - which is not necessary). In code:
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
if ("enabled".equals(evt.getPropertyName())) {
assertEquals(evt.getNewValue(), ((Action) evt.getSource()).isEnabled());
second: (and I think we might disagree on this)
trying to set the enabled property via putValue must do nothing, that is neither change the enabled state nor accept the key/value pair and consequently must not fire a changeEvent
boolean enabled = action.isEnabled();
action.putValue("enabled", !enabled)
assertEquals(enabled, action.isEnabled());
So at the core of the bug is the fact that AbstractAction accepts the enabled as a valid key in putValue.
The api doc is vague (read: doesn't say anything) about which keys are allowed in putValue. An educated assumption from the interface signature leads to all keys which are explicitly defined as constants and at the same time would exclude any property which has it's own methods to access. The second half of the assumption is strengthened by the fact that the "enabled" can be regarded as belonging to a different category of properties: it's related to the "command" part of the Action while the values accessible via keys are mere "visuals" (except the new selected
As an example to see the difference, take f.i. localization at runtime - doing so will potentially change all properties denoted by the constant keys but not touch the enabled property.
I just looked at the Mustang source for AbstractAction.java and if you look at the implementation of setEnabled() you'll see the cause of your problem. Curiously, the enabled property is not implemented in terms of putValue. While every other property is stored in a HashMap like structure, the enabled propery is seperate with it's own private boolean field. That explains why there is a setEnabled method, but no setters for any of the other properties, and that there is no Action.ENABLED property key. This is strange, but I'm sure there is a reason for it. Though I cant think what it possibly could be!
So anyway, your workaround seems to be the correct way to do it. You do need to handle enabled and the other properties seperately. I'd be interested to hear Scott Violet from the Swing team expain why enabled is implemented this way (he blogged about the new changes to Actions a while ago)
No replies here from anyway at Sun (so it would seem), so I'm planning to file a bug report soon as it seems like a regression.
You should post this in the "Swing & AWT" forum at JavaDesktop.org:
The Swing Team do read and respond to messages there.

Best standard 18' fridge, top freezer for $500 or less
Needing a new fridge for my new house :)
I want just the basic 18 cubic foot fridge, top freezer, no ice maker.
What would you recommend? What should I avoid?
I looked at a frigidaire model FRT18G2NW on sale for $399 at a locally owned store. Their appliance prices tend to be in line with lowes, hd, best buy, etc.
I looked for reviews of this fridge online and can't find any good or bad.
As I mentioned in my other post, my splurge is going to be a speed queen washer. I want reliability for value. Not concerned about lots of features or looks.
Thank you!
Per Consumer Reports, for top freezers without icemakers, only 4 brands are rated, I would guess because the others don't make fridges w/o icemakers. Frigidaire & GE have the fewest repairs, as reported by consumers. Then Kenmore & Whirlpool follow. But Frigidaire & GE are 7%, while Kenmore & Whirlpool are at 8% repairs, so there's not much difference among any of them. Personally, I've read so many bad reviews about other models of GE that I wouldn't buy a GE unless it had the perfect dimensions and was cheaper than everything else.
If you find one you love but it has an icemaker, you should be able to remove it easily. There's just a few screws there. Maybe a line to snip (but maybe not). There's probably instructions on Youtube. (That's what I plan to do. Like you, I don't care for icemakers.)

Redskins End Season On Eight-Game Losing Streak
12.30.2013 / Blog Posts Redskins
On Sunday, the Washington Redskins squared off against the New York Giants with the opportunity to end a frustrating season on a high note. Slow out of the gates, the Redskins failed to score a touchdown and fell victim to enemy onslaught for the eighth straight time by the final score of 20-6.
One season after registering off seven straight victories on an improbable run to an NFC East championship and home playoff game, the Redskins posted their first three-win campaign since 1999.
It was also the first time the burgundy and gold failed to win a divisional game since ... Read More
Redskins Succumb To Dallas By One
12.23.2013 / Blog Posts Redskins
By Stephen Czarda
On Sunday, the Washington Redskins faced the Dallas Cowboys for the second time this season.
With the emotion of current NFL ironman London Fletcher, whose donned burgundy and gold for the last seven years, playing his last home game and the possibility of dashing the Cowboys' playoff hopes, FedExField was the site of another memorable clash between NFC East foes.
But just like Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons, the Redskins fell short by one point, this time by a final score of 24-23.
Offensively, the Redskins were led by wide receiver Pierre Garcon who had a ... Read More

The Washington Redskins were a fingertip away from mounting a comeback led by sophomore quarterback Kirk Cousins making his first start of the season.
Instead, the Redskins left the Georgia Dome on Sunday with a loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Final Score: Redskins 26, Falcons 27.
After Cousins led the troops on a clock eating 13-play drive for 80 yards, he found 13-year veteran Santana Moss on a quick out route in the front of the end zone to pull the Redskins within one.
With playoff implications a non-factor, head coach Mike Shanahan elected to ... Read More

Modeling non-Gaussian time-varying vector autoregressive process
Shared by Deniz Gencaga on Mar 17, 2011
- Author(s) :
- D. Gencaga, E. E. Kuruoglu, A. Ertuzun
- Abstract
We present a novel and general methodology for modeling time-varying vector autoregressive processes which are widely used in many areas such as modeling of chemical processes, mobile communication channels and biomedical signals. In the literature, most work utilize multivariate Gaussian models for the mentioned applications, mainly due to the lack of efficient analytical tools for modeling with non-Gaussian distributions. In this paper, we propose a particle filtering approach which can model non-Gaussian autoregressive processes having cross-correlations among them. Moreover, time-varying parameters of the process can be modeled as the most general case by using this sequential Bayesian estimation method. Simulation results justify the performance of the proposed technique, which potentially can model also Gaussian processes as a sub-case.

Effect of Ketamine on Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia
The purpose of this study is to compare pain threshold, pain tolerance, and wind up, as measured by QST, before and after a single dose of ketamine infusion under two clinical conditions: chronic pain patients on opioid therapy and chronic pain patients without opioid therapy.
We hypothesize that:
1. Chronic pain patients on chronic opioids would have a lower pain threshold and lower pain tolerance when compared to opioid naïve patients (patients with chronic pain with non-opioids treatment)., as measured by QST in a non-affected neutral limb;
2. Chronic pain patients on chronic opioids would have an increased response to painful stimulation, so called "windup" as demonstrated by QST;
3. Both "wind-up" and altered pain threshold and tolerance would be indicative of the presence of opioid-induced hyperalgesia;
4. Intravenous ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, could be used to differentiate between opioid-induced hyperalgesia and opioid tolerance.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors.
A hallucinogen formerly used as a veterinary anesthetic, and briefly as a general anesthetic for humans. Phencyclidine is similar to KETAMINE in structure and in many of its effects. Like ketamine, it can produce a dissociative state. It exerts its pharmacological action through inhibition of NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE). As a drug of abuse, it is known as PCP and Angel Dust.
Pain, Referred
A type of pain that is perceived in an area away from the site where the pain arises, such as facial pain caused by lesion of the VAGUS NERVE, or throat problem generating referred pain in the ear.
Facial Pain
Pain in the facial region including orofacial pain and craniofacial pain. Associated conditions include local inflammatory and neoplastic disorders and neuralgic syndromes involving the trigeminal, facial, and glossopharyngeal nerves. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent facial pain as the primary manifestation of disease are referred to as FACIAL PAIN SYNDROMES.
Complex Regional Pain Syndromes
Conditions characterized by pain involving an extremity or other body region, HYPERESTHESIA, and localized autonomic dysfunction following injury to soft tissue or nerve. The pain is usually associated with ERYTHEMA; SKIN TEMPERATURE changes, abnormal sudomotor activity (i.e., changes in sweating due to altered sympathetic innervation) or edema. The degree of pain and other manifestations is out of proportion to that expected from the inciting event. Two subtypes of this condition have been described: type I; (REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY) and type II; (CAUSALGIA). (From Pain 1995 Oct;63(1):127-33)

Internews began working in Haiti in 2007 under a three-year grant from the US Agency for International Development. The project built the technical and journalism skills of 40 community radio stations throughout Haiti that form a network called RAMAK (Rasanbleman Medya pou Aksyon Kominotéé). After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Internews trained local journalists and provided support to set up a humanitarian information radio program.
The Internews Earth Journalism Network established a project – InfoAmazonia – that maps the rivers in the Amazon, a main source of livelihood for many communities in South America. Since its launch in 2012, InfoAmazonia has built close to 20 different maps that together display 12GB of geographical data, including deforestation and protected areas.
In 2012, with the support of InSight Crime and Internews, investigative reporters from online media outlets in Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico collaborated on a regional multimedia investigation into the human rights fallout of organized crime in Latin America.

The Power of Purpose
"Whatever your age, if you learn to listen, your inner voice will speak to you about your path," writes oncologist Dr. Bernie Siegel in Peace, Love and Healing; find your job on earth. This wisdom that is directing you from within is your birthright — an inner message, an inner awareness, that says, 'This is your path, this is how you can be the best human being possible.' If you follow it, you will achieve your full growth and full potential as a human being before you let go of the Tree of Life.
I know Dr. Bernie is right, because I see the power of the inner voice daily in my clients, in my friends, and in my own life. My clients ask, "How can I access that voice, that wisdom, and get my feet started on the path?"
It's easy for many of us to get discouraged with suffering throughout the world: racial prejudice, addiction and self-destruction, political oppression in its many forms (starvation, war, torture, misinformation, imprisonment, denial of rights of speech, health and human dignity, and just plain bigotry and nastiness).
My own reaction, years ago, was despair. "I can't stand it! So much suffering! So many issues! There's nothing significant I can do." Gradually, with the help of wiser people, I came to realize that I wasn't supposed to do it ALL. I just needed to do a part. But what part? Thus I began to learn about my inner wisdom, my unique birthright, my own peculiarities and talents.
We are all unique, with different genetic mixes, different fingerprints, different gifts and personalities, so let's suppose that there must be a reason for our differences: a plan. Included in the plan is a special place for each of us, and we have been designed, by a super intelligence, for a special task within the plan. Supposing that plan exists, what is your part in it? What were you designed to do? What's your "job on earth?"
If you feel confused or overwhelmed by life, or if your life seems to have no meaning, no important reason for your existence, spend some time pondering the plan. Whether you call your Source a Higher Power, Spirit, or God, try reading Its mind a little: Imagine — If you were God, and you had created the human being that is you, what would you have created such a person for? It's an interesting puzzle, and the clues are in your unique characteristics.
Are you a good listener? Then maybe counseling is your intended "job." Can you explain things well? Perhaps you're being directed toward teaching something. Are you a mathematical whiz? A musician? An artist? Can you make people laugh? All of these talents can be used in unique ways to make the world a little better. For example, if you like to make people laugh, and you enjoy elderly people, perhaps entertaining, volunteering, or working in a senior citizen's center is your special place. Or if you are a survivor of abuse or illness, perhaps your "job" lies in helping others survive.

Home > Fruit Trees > Unusual Fruits >
Super Food that's Super Easy! Goji Berries (a.k.a. Wolfberries) are used throughout the Orient to treat a broad range of ailments and diseases. They are high in antioxidants, amino acids, essential fatty acids and are widely used to reduce inflammation.
Grow them yourself without the chemicals. Most Goji Berries come from China where they're often treated with chemicals that have been long banned in the US. They can turn an incredibly healthy food into something toxic.
This is one of the easiest plants to grow organically. It's highly disease resistant and rarely bothered by insects. Even deer and rabbits leave it alone. There is no need for any chemicals or sprays. Just plant it and pick.
Don't baby your Gojis. They're naturally drought tolerant and like well draining soil. Thrives in zones 5-9, tolerating temps down to -18 F. Does well in the dry west or humid east. Likes containers or the ground. Goji will grow in sun or partial shade, but your harvest will be greater with more sun.
Pick $175 worth of Berries each year from a single plant! A mature plant will produce almost 7 lbs of berries under good conditions. We don't know of any other fruit plant that has this incredible of a payback. Plus it continues to produce year after year.
Eat Goji Berries all year long. Your berries get sweeter the longer you leave them on the bush and will be much tastier than what you buy in the store. Eat them fresh, juice them, freeze them or dry them on newspaper. Most people prefer to eat their berries like raisins. Grow several plants and enjoy healthy Goji Berries all throughout the year.
Plant your Gojis every 2 ft. They grow into viney bushes. Some people grow them on a trellis. They are self pollinating, but do better with additional companions.
Don't wait on tiny, seed grown plants. Goji has to grow a full root system before you get much top growth. Some nurseries sell 1 quart containers, also referred to as 3.5 or 4 inch pots. These are quicker and cheaper for them to grow, but require you to wait as much as an extra year for a reasonable harvest. Plus you get a small plant that is not as hardy. Our 1 trade gallon plant is 3-4 times larger, and will typically fruit within the first year.
Why do some Gojis Take 3-5 Years Longer to Fruit? Some nurseries grow from seed. These plants will take 3-5 years to mature in order to produce berries. We don't grow from seed. Your Gojis are started from cuttings taken from mature plants. So your Goji thinks it should be producing berries right away. This natural process is thousands of years old and is used by organic farms. It takes more work on our part... but you get better tasting berries, years sooner. And a plant you will be much happier with.
Your Goji from Fast Growing Trees arrives ready for explosive growth. Order now while larger sizes are still available.

Specific Directions for Goji Berry
Your Goji plant likes to be slightly alkaline, so avoid manure, peat, compost or expensive Miracle Grow mixes. You can mulch with wood chips, but avoid pine needles.
|Step 1 - Dig Your Hole
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Goji Berry .
|Step 2 - Place Your Plant
Next, separate the roots of your Goji Berry gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.

Good, but first one was better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Underachievers, Please Try Harder (Audio CD)
Non-evolution is not a problem in itself, though it does eventually lead to extinction. Their first CD: Biggest Bluest HiFi is one of the greatest CDs in my collection (others include most B&S, BRMC, Stone Roses and so on and so forth).
Underachievers is good... the melodies are fine, not always consistently brilliant like Biggest Bluest... but pleasant nonetheless. So, am I satisfied? Yes. Was I expecting more? Yes! Get Biggest Bluest...first, then listen to this one and see if you agree.
This CD doesn't have as much of the male/female duetting going on, that's a shame. It worked so well on the first CD.
Just 'cos I said all the above doesn't mean it's not a lovely listen, it is indeed and by all means get it.

Mori welcome to the group.
Tony, I wonder if a human put on a suit of solar energy collectors, if they could take a little flight. Remember those early photos of trying to fly in those crazy huge wings? Maybe they were ahead of their time; they needed an energy source humans couldn't provide.
Tony, as usual, you stimulated my curiosity about orangutans and get ready for an adventure:
Well, I can see the Northern sea route, although I couldn't find a migratory map for norther sea life. This is for humpback whales.
Tony, I have never heard of such creatures. Where do they occur? ...
"most years in the spring, there is a mass stranding that occurs along the West Coast of North America, from British Columbia to California, beginning in the north and moving south over several weeks' time. In some years, so many animals are left at the tide line by receding waves, that the line of dying (and subsequently rotting) animals may be many centimetres deep, along hundreds of kilometres of beaches. Mass strandings have been reported also on the west coast of Ireland."
that is interesting, along the west coast of North America and Ireland. I wonder what migratory route they took to make that leap?
Yesterday, with considerable difficulty, I hacked some stale coconut macaroons into pieces with a meat cleaver and put them out for the squirrel. Today there are new holes in the flower bed, where he buried them. *sigh* Oh well.
Tony love the white squirrel and the hydrozoan. I just love learning new things - appreciate it.
This is the velella (Velella Velella), a small free floating hydrozoan. It's currently the only known species in the genus.
They're also known as sea-rafts or by-the-wind-sailors, for the obvious reason that it uses the the "sail" you can see in this image for locomotion. Because of this, they are often found washed up on beaches.

Apple reportedly punishes German mag for its iPhone 6 Plus bend test
An iPhone 6 bend test left a German tech magazine with bigger worries than a needlessly broken smartphone: The publication was reportedly banned from future Apple events and told it would no longer receive the Cupertino company's latest products for review.
iPhone 6 officially goes on sale in China on October 17
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will officially be available to pre-order in China from Friday, October 10, ahead of their launch a week later, Apple has confirmed. The news comes just hours after the Cupertino company's new smartphones finally received approval from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
People are bending iPhone 6 Plus display units in Apple Stores
Apple insists "bendgate" isn't an issue after receiving just 9 complaints about bent iPhones as of last week, and the vast majority seem to agree. But will the Cupertino company think differently when it discovers that people are walking into its retail stores and bending the iPhone 6 Plus units it has on display?
Hey, Apple! What happened to 'It just works'?
"It just works."
Those three words are synonymous with Apple. It's the slogan Apple fanboys use when trying to convince their Android-loving friends that iOS is a better option. And it was used over and over by Steve Jobs as he unveiled new products at Apple keynotes.
That makes it even more embarrassing for the Cupertino company when things don't "just work." Especially when it royally screws things up — as it did with the hideously half-baked iOS 8.0.1 update that rolled out to millions of users Wednesday morning.
Apple isn't ignoring 'Bendgate,' will replace affected devices
It turns out that things made out of thin pieces of aluminum will bend under enough force. Who'd have thought it? But fortunately for those who are experiencing the well-documented "Bendgate" issue with a new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Apple is not ignoring the problem: The company will replace devices under warranty so long as they pass a visual inspection.
Apple will fix iPhone 6 issues with iOS 8.0.2 in the 'next few days'
Apple has promised to roll out a new iOS 8 update in the "next few days" that will fix the issues plaguing iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who updated to iOS 8.0.1. In the meantime, users are being advised to downgrade to the initial iOS 8 release that came pre-installed on their devices.
A definitive guide to third-party keyboards in iOS 8
With iOS 8, iPhone and iPad owners for the first time ever can replace Apple's default virtual keyboard with a third-party alternative.
Doing so — with keyboards made by SwiftKey, Swype, Fleksy and others — could vastly improve your touchscreen typing experience. Not only do some of these keyboards make typing easier, but they also boast innovative features, like the ability to type words using simple swipes instead of taps. Many of these keyboards are completely customizable, so you can set their size and color scheme to suit you.
If you haven't already installed a third-party keyboard, you're missing out on one of iOS 8's best features. In this guide, first we'll tell you about the best keyboards available from the App Store right now. We'll also run through the features that make them unique, show you how you can customize them and make them work for you, and explain some important concepts, such as "Full Access."
Apple pulls iOS 8.0.1 update that fixed HealthKit but broke Touch ID, cell service
Update: iOS 8.0.1 upgraders are reporting problems with Touch ID and cellular connectivity after installing Apple's update. You should wait before taking the plunge. If you've already installed iOS 8.0.1, here's how to downgrade to iOS 8.
Apple has pulled an iOS 8.0.1 update that fixed problems with HealthKit and various other features after iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users discovered the update broke Touch ID and blocked cellular connectivity.
The iOS 8.0.1 update was also supposed to improve Reachability on the iPhone 6, but it has already been removed while Apple addresses the nest of new bugs it unleashed.
Review: iPhone 6 Plus slays its giant Android rivals
After claiming no one would buy big phones during his iPhone 4 reveal in 2010, Steve Jobs made it pretty clear Apple had no interest in making a substantially larger smartphone anytime soon. But fast-forward to 2014, and the company Jobs founded in his parents' garage has been forced to do just that.

iPhone 6 Plus: First impressions
Apple's new iPhones are finally here, and judging by stock levels in Apple retail stores and reports on Twitter, it's the iPhone 6 Plus that people are most excited for. Mine arrived about four hours ago, and I've hardly put it down since I snatched it out of the hands of the UPS delivery guy.
Having played with many of its features and stared at it lovingly for far too long, I decided to bring you my first impressions of Apple's first "phablet." So while you're sitting beside your door waiting for yours to arrive, or standing outside an Apple Store somewhere with achy legs, you can enjoy a glimpse of what you have to look forward to.
