A blown transformer in College Station on Thursday caused a lingering smoke ring in the evening sky.
The transformer, housed in a substation in southern College Station, blew up at 8:20 p.m., causing about 3,000 customers in that city to lose power, said Carol Roach, spokeswoman for College Station Utilities.
The substation is shared with neighboring Bryan Texas Utilities, which owns the current transformer that failed, said that utility's spokesman, Paul Buckner.
"There's oil inside that transformer, and that's what caught on fire," Buckner said. "We are still investigating the cause."
None of Bryan Texas Utilities' customers lost power, he said.
When the transformer exploded, however, it triggered a protective feature in the College Station system that resulted in a power loss for the 3,000 affected customers, similar to the way a surge protector works in a home, Roach said.
College Station's power was restored at 9:12 p.m., she said.
"We had to make sure that everything was in the clear before we could restore the power," Roach said.

Fashion News Roundup: Dita Von Teese, Project Runway and more
Fabsugar has been on a Who Wore It Better marathon! Take your choice between Heidi Klum or Jennifer Hudson in a Michael Kors jumpsuit (yes, we said jumpsuit), Audrina Patridge or Mischa Barton in an Alexander Wang metallic dress (Audrina just looks cold) and Dancing With the Stars' Julianne Hough or Susan Sarandon's daughter Eva Amurri in a Jay Godfrey bow dress (this is our favorite look).
Check out party pics from Karl Lagerfeld's private Party at London's Nobu on Catwalk Queen here and here (more on Emma Watson's foxy new look to come).
Fashionista points out that Nina Garcia is kind of contradicting her own magazine on Project Runway. On last night's ep the judges threw some "passe" fashions at the wannabe designers to remake, the only problem is that many of these fashions have been recently featured in Elle!
Dita Von Teese makes us all jealous with her holiday pinup parade, and Lipstick Panic is no exception.

The eight short-listed design teams have been announced for a competition to redevelop the Windermere Steamboat Museum on the shores of Windermere.
The Lakeland Arts Trust recently secured initial support for a £7.4m Heritage Lottery Fund bid, including £494,000 development funding, to take the project forward. The project aims to create an exciting and active museum which will use the lake and the lakeside setting to display the nationally significant collection of steam launches, motor boats, yachts and other vessels which are all associated with Windermere.
The first stage of the competition attracted 114 expressions of interest. The short-list (in order of the architect leading the multi-disciplinary design team) is as follows: Carmody Groarke; Adam Khan Architects; Niall McLaughlin Architects; Terry Pawson Architects; Reiach and Hall Architects; 6a Architects; Sutherland Hussey Architects; Witherford Watson Mann Architects.
Martin Ainscough, Chairman of the Lakeland Arts Trust, commented: "We are very encouraged by the quality of entries in the architectural competition and the judging panel had a difficult decision to select the final eight for the shortlist. We are looking forward to working with the successful practice to create a world class facility in the heart of the Lake District.."
Gordon Watson, the trust's chief executive, added: "We are looking for a fresh, well-detailed and sensitive response for the stimulating and highly significant site on Windermere and to display the museum's wonderful collection of boats."
The second stage of the competition will seek design concepts for the project. Architects will need to take into account the requirement of displaying the boats and other items in the collection in the exhibition space and wet dock, and enabling visitors to see the boats being restored in the conservation workshop, as well as designing an appropriate facility for the location to provide a world-class visitor experience.
The design proposals will be subject to public display and comment in late October 2011 and the design teams will be invited to present their schemes to the jury panel at final interviews in late November 2011.
BBC Radio 1 DJ's Chris Moyles and Greg James are packing their bags early and taking their shows to Carlisle a week before Radio 1's Big Weekend.
The pair will broadcast their shows live from Cumbria from Monday (May 9) to Friday (May 13) when they arrive a week ahead of the main event. In addition to their daily shows, Chris, Greg and their teams will be getting out and about in the city and surrounding areas, meeting the residents and celebrating all that Carlisle has to offer.
The pair will immerse themselves in the local community for a whole week, and they also plan to meet the city's students in a Q&A session during the week.
Chris Moyles says: "The Big Weekend is always the highlight of my year and I'm so excited that we get to go up to Carlisle for a whole week beforehand and settle in before everyone else arrives. I'm hoping the good people of Carlisle are going to show us a good time!''
Greg James adds: "I'm really looking forward to this year's Big Weekend and to bring my show live from Carlisle. Chris and I will be out and about meeting the locals during the week and I'm hoping we can experience the best of the city!"
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is the UK's biggest free ticketed festival and 40,000 lucky music fans will be able to enjoy performances across four stages at Carlisle Airfield where the event is taking place – the Main Stage; the In New Music We Trust Stage; the Outdoor Stage and the BBC Introducing Stage. This year's artists include, Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters, The Black Eyed Peas, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding.
A truly multiplatform experience, Radio 1's Big Weekend will be broadcast on Radio 1, with a major interactive presence online and many live performances available to watch on demand. There will be highlights on BBC Three and extended performances can be seen via BBC Red Button on digital TV during the weekend.

Every cannon cast was expected to see action at some point in its career and this Russian gun has certainly 'been in the wars'.
Cast in 1793 with a specially designed barrel to allow it to be fired at a high angle or horizontally, it saw action in the Crimean War (1854-56). The damage to its barrel was caused by British or French shells or shot. Imagine the horror and noise of battle with gunners on both sides exchanging fire: 'Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them… volley'd and thunder'd'.
Russian fortress armament during the mid-nineteenth century largely consisted of heavy guns of this kind. The Licorne's specially designed barrel meant that it could be fired either horizontally or at higher angles.
The Licorne, developed from the 18th century howitzer, had a cone-shaped powder chamber. This enabled it to shoot both solid shot [cannonballs] and explosive shells. The gun was named from the Russian for a unicorn, which featured as decoration on early examples. This Licorne was cast at Kherson in the Ukraine in 1793 and captured during the Crimean War. Many Russian guns were brought back and presented to British towns as trophies.
The iron carriage, adopted in 1846 for fortresses and coastal defences, which allowed the gun to recoil up a platform, is now missing.
'Again, the projectiles they (the Russians) threw possessed, at ranges of from 1,200 to 1,500 yards, a stored-up energy that was terrific in its effect. Limbers were blown up, carriages smashed, guns dismounted …'

In mathematics and computer science, a variable is usually represented by one or more words or symbols, such as "time" or x. These abstractions are often assigned definite values later in the equation or program, but unknowns are often integral to an interface even without such a value.
In the physical sciences and engineering, a variable is a quantity whose value may vary over the course of an experiment (including simulations), across samples, or during the operation of a system.
In modeling, variables are distinct from parameters, although what is a variable in one context may be a parameter in another.
In applied statistics, a variable is a measurable factor, characteristic, or attribute of an individual or a system — in other words, something that might be expected to vary over time or between individuals. Random variables are an idealization of this in mathematical statistics, where they are defined as measurable functions from a probability space to a measurable space.
In mathematics, very common letters for variables are "x", "y", "n", "a" and "b". "x" and "y" are often used because they correspond to the two axes on a graph, while "a" and "b" are used as the coefficients of x and y in the general form of a linear equation. "n" is often used in statistical analysis, eg, "n" being the number of subjects in a study.
In the above example, the variable x is a "placeholder" for any number. One important thing we are assuming is that the value of each occurrence of x is the same—that x does not get a new value between the first x and the second x.
(Note that in computer programming languages without referential transparency, changes such as this can occur. Variables in computer programming are also useful for this reason. The term "variable", as used by programmers, is different from the meaning of "variable" as used by mathematicians.)
In causal models, a distinction is made between "independent variables" and "dependent variables", the latter being expected to vary in value in response to changes in the former. In other words, an independent variable is presumed to potentially affect a dependent one. In experiments, independent variables include factors that can be altered or chosen by the researcher independent of other factors.
For example, in an experiment to test whether or not the boiling point of water changes with altitude, the altitude is under direct control and is the independent variable, and the boiling point is presumed to depend upon it and is therefore the dependent variable. The collection of results from an experiment, or information to be used to draw conclusions, is known as data. It is often important to consider which variables to allow for, or to directly control or eliminate, in the design of experiments.
There are also quasi-independent variables, which are those variables that are used by researcher as a grouping mechanism, without manipulating the variable. An example of this would be separating people into groups by their gender. Gender cannot be manipulated, but it is used as a way to group. Another example would be separating people on the amount of coffee they drank before beginning an experiment. The researcher cannot change the past, but can use it to differentiate the groups.
While independent variables can refer to quantities and qualities that are under experimental control, they can also include extraneous factors that influence results in a confusing or undesired manner.
In general, if strongly confounding variables exist that can substantially affect the result, then this makes it more difficult to interpret the results. For example, a study into the incidence of cancer with age will also have to take into account variables such as income (poorer people may have less healthy lives), location (some cancers vary depending on diet and sunlight), stress and lifestyle issues (cancer may be related to these more than age), and so on. Failure to at least consider these factors can lead to grossly inaccurate deductions. For this reason, controlling unwanted variables is important in research.
In computer programming a variable is a special value (also often called a reference) that has the property of being able to be associated with another value (or not). What is variable across time is the association. Obtaining the value associated with a variable is often called dereferencing, and creating or changing the association is called assignment.
Variables are usually named by an identifier, but they can be anonymous, and variables can be associated with other variables.
In the computing context, variable identifiers often consist of alphanumeric strings. These identifiers are then used to refer to values in computer memory. This convention of matching identifiers to values is but one of several alternative programmatic conventions for accessing values in computer memory (see also: reflection (computer science)).
In some programming languages, specific characters (known as sigils) are prefixed or appended to variable identifiers to indicate the variable's type. For example:
A variable name's scope affects its extent.
Scope is a lexical aspect of a variable. Most languages define a specific scope for each variable (as well as any other named entity), which may differ within a given program. The scope of a variable is the portion of the program code for which the variable's name has meaning and for which the variable is said to be "visible". Entrance into that scope typically begins a variable's lifetime and exit from that scope typically ends its lifetime. For instance, a variable with "lexical scope" is meaningful only within a certain block of statements or subroutine. A "global variable", or one with indefinite scope, may be referred to anywhere in the program. It is erroneous to refer to a variable where it is out of scope. Lexical analysis of a program can determine whether variables are used out of scope. In compiled languages, such analysis can be performed statically at compile time.
Extent, on the other hand, is a runtime (dynamic) aspect of a variable. Each binding of a variable to a value can have its own extent at runtime. The extent of the binding is the portion of the program's execution time during which the variable continues to refer to the same value or memory location. A running program may enter and leave a given extent many times, as in the case of a closure.
In portions of code, a variable in scope may never have been given a value, or its value may have been destroyed. Such variables are described as "out of extent" or "unbound". In many languages, it is an error to try to use the value of a variable when it is out of extent. In other languages, doing so may yield unpredictable results. Such a variable may, however, be assigned a new value, which gives it a new extent. By contrast, it is permissible for a variable binding to extend beyond its scope, as occurs in Lisp closures and C static variables. When execution passes back into the variable's scope, the variable may once again be used.
For space efficiency, a memory space needed for a variable may be allocated only when the variable is first used and freed when it is no longer needed. A variable is only needed when it is in scope, but beginning each variable's lifetime when it enters scope may give space to unused variables. To avoid wasting such space, compilers often warn programmers if a variable is declared but not used.
It is considered good programming practice to make the scope of variables as narrow as feasible so that different parts of a program do not accidentally interact with each other by modifying each other's variables. Doing so also prevents action at a distance. Common techniques for doing so are to have different sections of a program use different namespaces, or to make individual variables "private" through either dynamic variable scoping or lexical variable scoping.
Many programming languages employ a reserved value (often named null or nil) to indicate an invalid or uninitialized variable.
In dynamically-typed languages such as Python, it is values, not variables, which carry type. In Common Lisp, both situations exist simultaneously: a variable is given a type (if undeclared, it is assumed to be
T, the universal supertype) which exists at compile time. Values also have types, which can be checked and queried at runtime. See type system.
Typing of variables also allows polymorphisms to be resolved at compile time. However, this is different from the polymorphism used in object-oriented function calls (referred to as virtual functions in C++) which resolves the call based on the value type as opposed to the supertypes the variable is allowed to have.
Variables often store simple data-like integers and literal strings, but some programming languages allow a variable to store values of other datatypes as well. Such languages may also enable functions to be parametric polymorphic. These functions operate like variables to represent data of multiple types. For example, a function named
length may determine the length of a list. Such a
length function may be parametric polymorphic by including a type variable in its type signature, since the amount of elements in the list is independent of the elements' types.
def addtwo(x):
return x + 2
addtwo(5) # yields 7
and its equivalent code segment in Lisp,
(defun addtwo (x)
(+ x 2))
(addtwo 5) ; yields 7
the variable named
x is a parameter because it is given a value when the function is called. The integer 5 is the argument which gives
x its value. In most languages, function parameters have local scope . This specific variable named
x can only be referred to within the
addtwo function (though of course other functions can also have variables called
Bound variables have values. A value, however, is an abstraction, an idea; in implementation, a value is represented by some data object, which is stored somewhere in computer memory. The program, or the runtime environment, must set aside memory for each data object and, since memory is finite, ensure that this memory is yielded for reuse when the object is no longer needed to represent some variable's value.
Objects allocated from the heap must be reclaimed specially when the objects are no longer needed. In a garbage-collected language (such as C#, Java, and Lisp), the runtime environment automatically reclaims objects when extant variables can no longer refer to them. In non-garbage-collected languages, such as C, the program (and thus the programmer) must explicitly allocate memory, and then later free it, to reclaim its memory. Failure to do so leads to memory leaks, in which the heap is depleted as the program runs, risking eventual failure from exhausting available memory.
When a variable refers to a data structure created dynamically, some of its components may be only indirectly accessed through the variable. In such circumstances, garbage collectors (or analogous program features in languages that lack garbage collectors) must deal with a case where only a portion of the memory reachable from the variable needs to be reclaimed.
Although a constant value is specified only once, the constant can be referenced multiple times in a program. Using a constant instead of specifying a value multiple times in the program can not only simplify code maintenance, but it can also supply a meaningful name for it and consolidate such constant assignments to a standard code location (for example, at the beginning).
Programming languages provide one of two kinds of constant variables:
Static constant or Manifest constant
CONST a = 60.Dynamic constant
final int a = b + 20;.
For variables which are references, do not confuse constant references with immutable objects. For example, when a non-constant reference references an immutable object, that reference can be changed so that it references a different object, but the object it originally pointed to cannot be changed (i.e. other references that reference it still see the same information).
Conversely, a constant reference may reference a mutable object. In this case, the reference will always reference the same object (the reference cannot be changed); however, the object that the reference references can still be changed (and other references that also reference that object will see the change), as shown in the following example:
final StringBuffer sampleDynamicConstant = new StringBuffer ("InitialValueOfDynamicConstant");
System.out.println(sampleDynamicConstant);The above code produces the following output:
In languages where a variable can be an object (i.e. C++), such a variable being constant is equivalent to the immutability of that object.
Languages that support variable interpolation include Perl, PHP, Ruby, and most Unix shells. In these languages, variable interpolation only occurs when the string literal is double-quoted, but not when it is single-quoted. The variables are recognized because variables start with a sigil (typically "$") in these languages. Ruby uses the "#" symbol for interpolation, and lets you interpolate any expression, not just variables.
For example, the following Perl code: produces the output:
Nancy said Hello World to the crowd of people.

I only got one picture, but I wanted to point out another robot that was making the rounds at BrickFest. John Barnes brought a nifty little robot that would sort different colored 2x2 bricks into circular bins. For anybody that has tried color sorting with the "standard" LEGO light sensor, this might seem like magic, but it's yet another example of a custom sensor that HiTechnic has been working on. Not only is it a nice demonstration of the color sensor, but it's a nice mechanical model as well, with a pivoting conveyor to drop the blocks into the proper dish. This is another sensor that a lot of us have been asking for for quite a while.

Do you ever feel like a big blob all day and then at 9:30 PM you finally get the urge to get something done? Yeah, me too. And usually its not something small, its more like "lets re-organize the pantry," or "lets re-arrange the furniture" { husband loves that one }. Or in my case last night it was "I'm going to make a quilt". So…this is what I did last night.
Then of course by the time I was fully pooped & ready to crawl into bed I remembered my laundered sheets were still in a big fat pile on my bed…waiting to be put "on" my bed. Drats.
Most of the fabrics in this quilt are vintage reproductions. I have no idea what any of them are called or who the designers are or who makes them, which is strangely… very refreshing. The blocks are 8", to make one block you need 6 – 3" squares { four white, two colored } and the center piece is an 3" x 8" strip. Sew them together like you would a 9 patch block and your done!
ps. I put more Valentines in the shop too.

I'm high on delusions of grandeur right now.
I'm sobering up now after a long weekend of drinking. My best friend Carl and I held a drinking competition because he wouldn't believe I could drink him under the table.
Carl made best friends with the porcelain God.
I won.
Amy, drinking anything "and Coke" is, umm, kinda what high school kids do.
if you don't like alcohol, you don't like alcohol, nothing wrong with that. But maybe part of the problem is you're drinking crap "and coke"
try a nice bottle of wine next time. You won't get trashed but you might enjoy it.
good god, sometimes it's like being the driver of the short bus around here.
hahahahaha <3.

A nation is a human cultural and social community. In as much as most members never meet each other, yet feel a common bond, it may be considered an imagined community. One of the most influential doctrines in Western Europe and the Western hemisphere since the late eighteenth century is that all humans are divided into groups called nations. Nationhood is an ethical and philosophical doctrine and is the starting point for the ideology of nationalism; a nation is a form of self-defined cultural and social community. Members of a "nation" share a common identity, and usually a common origin, in the sense of history, ancestry, parentage or descent. A nation extends across generations, and includes the dead as full members. Past events are framed in this context: for example, by referring to "our soldiers" in conflicts which took place hundreds of years ago. More vaguely, nations are assumed to include future generations. Though "nation" is also commonly used in informal discourse as a synonym for state or country, a nation is not identical to a state. The people of a nation-state consider themselves a nation, united in the political and legal structure of the State. While traditionally monocultural, a nation-state may also be multicultural in its self-definition. The term nation is often used as a synonym for ethnic group (sometimes "ethnos"), but although ethnicity is now one of the most important aspects of cultural or social identity, people with the same ethnic origin may live in different nation-states and be treated as members of separate nations for that reason. National identity is often disputed, down to the level of the individual.
Almost all nations are associated with a specific territory, the national homeland. Some live in a historical diaspora, that is, "scattered" or "sown outside the national homeland. A state which explicitly identifies as the homeland of a particular nation is a nation-state, and most modern states fall into this category, although there may be violent disputes about their legitimacy. Where territory is disputed between nations, the claims may be based on theory called Urrecht, in which history is brought to bear to legitimise present occupancy: Phoenicianism and Zionism are two such historicised nation-building doctrines. National founding myths are etiological legends that when examined in historical contexts are found to answer quite specific issues, which generated them. Especially in Canada the term "First Nations" is used for groups which share an aboriginal culture, and have or seek official recognition or autonomy.
In the strict sense, terms such as "nation", "ethnos", and "people" (as in "the Danish people") denote a group of human beings. The concepts of nation and nationality have much in common with ethnic group and ethnicity, but have a more political connotation, since they imply the possibility of a nation-state. Country denominates a geographical territory, whereas state expresses a legitimized administrative and decision-making institution. Confusingly, the terms national and international are used as technical terms applying to states. International law, for instance, applies to relations between states, and occasionally between states on the one side, and individuals or legal persons on the other. Likewise, the United Nations represent states, while nations are not admitted to the body (unless a respective nation-state exists, which can become a member).
Usage also varies from country to country. As an example, the United Kingdom is an internationally recognised sovereign state, which is also referred to as a country and whose inhabitants have British nationality. It is however traditionally divided into four home nations or home countries - England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. These are not sovereign states in their own right. The island of Ireland is now divided into the sovereign Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland which remains part of the United Kingdom. The current status of the UK, in any case, is controversial and disputed, since there are secessionist movements in England, Scotland and Wales, and for example, Cornwall is considered by a very few people who live there to be a separate nation, within the country of England. Usage of the term nation is not only ambiguous, it is also the subject of political disputes, which may be extremely violent.
When the term 'nation' has any implications of claims to independence from an existing state, its use is controversial. In November 2006 the Canadian House of Commons passed a motion to recognize "that the Québécois form a nation within a united Canada", an unusual concession to sovereigntist terminology, even though it explicitly places them within Canada.. Minister Michael Chong resigned in protest, saying '"To me, recognizing Quebecers as a nation, even inside a united Canada, implies the recognition of ethnicity, and I cannot support that. I do not believe in an ethnic nationalism. I believe in a civic nationalism. This event highlighted the confusion around the motion, as Bloc Québécois MPs, among others, had understood it as inclusive of all Quebecers, irrespective of their ethnic origin. The use of the French word Québécois is also an historical recognition to the French people who colonized along the Saint Lawrence River the French colony of Canada for four hundred years.
The term nation is widely used, by extension or metaphor, to describe any group promoting some common interest or common identity, see Red Sox Nation and Queer Nation.
Nationalism is a term referring to a doctrine or political movement that holds that a nation, usually defined in terms of ethnicity or culture, has the right to constitute an independent or autonomous political community based on a shared history and common destiny. Most nationalists believe the borders of the state should be congruent with the borders of the nation. Extreme forms of nationalism, such as those propagated by fascist movements in the twentieth century, hold that nationality is the most important aspect of one's identity, while some of them have attempted to define the nation in terms of race or genetics.
Nationalism has had an enormous influence on Modern history, in which the nation-state has become the dominant form of societal organization. Historians use the term nationalism to refer to this historical transition and to the emergence and predominance of nationalist ideology. Nationalism is closely associated with patriotism.
The combining form nātiōn‑ is built on the past participle form (g)nāt‑us "having been born" of the verb (g)nāscī "to be born". Thus it is also related closely to the Latin derived words "native", "nature" and more remotely to the native English words "kin", "kindred" and "kind". It shares a common derivation from the Proto-Indo-European root *gen- "bear, generate, etc.
As an example of how the word natio was employed in classical Latin, consider the following quote from Cicero's Philippics Against Mark Antony in 44 BC. Cicero contrasts the external, inferior nationes ("races of people") with the Roman civitas ("community").:
"Omnes nationes servitutem ferre possunt: nostra civitas non potest."
("All races are able to bear enslavement, but our community cannot.")
St. Jerome used this "genealogical-historical term ... in his Latin translation of New Testament to denote non-Christians — that is, 'others.'
An early example of the use of the word "nation" in conjunction with language and territory is provided in 968 by Liutprand, bishop of Cremona, who, while confronting Nicephorus II, the Byzantine emperor on behalf of his patron Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, declared:
"The land...which you say belongs to your empire belongs, as the nationality and language of the people proves, to the kingdom of Italy.'" (Emphasis added.)
Although Liutprand was writing in Latin, his native tongue was Lombard, a Germanic language.
A significant early use of the term nation, as natio, was at mediaeval universities (see: nation (university)), to describe the colleagues in a college or students, above all at the University of Paris, who were all born within a pays, spoke the same language and expected to be ruled by their own familiar law. In 1383 and 1384, while studying theology at Paris, Jean Gerson was twice elected procurator for the French natio (i.e. the French-born Francophone students at the University). The division of students into a natio was also adopted at the University of Prague, where from its opening in 1349 the studium generale was divided among Bohemian, Bavarian, Saxon and Polish nations.
The national identity refers both to the distinguishing features of the group, and to the individual's sense of belonging to it. A very wide range of criteria is used, with very different applications. Small differences in pronunciation may be enough to categorize someone as a member of another nation. On the other hand, two people may be separated by difference in personalities, belief systems, geographical locations, time and even spoken language; yet regard themselves, and be seen by others, as members of the same nation.
The first requirement for the definition is that the characteristics should be shared - a group of people with nothing in common cannot be a nation. Because they are shared, the national population also has a degree of uniformity and homogeneity. And finally, at least some of the characteristics must be exclusive - to distinguish the nation from neighbouring nations. All of the characteristics can be disputed, and opposition to secessionist nationalism often includes the denial that a separate nation exists.
Primordialism argues that those shared characteristics has an ancient root, and nations are natural phenomena over different historical eras.
The question is: descent from whom? Often, the answer is simply: from previous generations of the same nation. More specifically:
Usually, these factors are assumed to coincide. The well-defined Icelandic nation is assumed to consist of the descendants of the island of Iceland in, say, 1850. Those people also spoke the Icelandic language, were known as Icelanders at that time, and had a recognised culture of their own. However, the present population of Iceland cannot coincide exactly with their descendants: that would imply complete endogamy, meaning that no Icelander since 1850 ever had children by a non-Icelander. Most European nations experienced border changes and, migration over the last few centuries, and intermarried with other national groups. Statistically, their current national population can not coincide exactly with the descendants of the nation in 1700 or 1500, even if was then known by the same name. The shared ancestry is more of a national myth in some cases than a genetic reality - but still sufficient for a national identity nevertheless. This national myth concept becomes even more complicated for nations whose populations are largely comprised of or descended from relatively recent immigrants.
Primordialism encountered enormous criticism after World War II, and scholars turn their eye on how nations are constructed by the process of nationalism, which is driven by technology and modernization. Nation is not defined by what common characteristic is shared, by instead by how it is constructed.
On the other hand, Eric Hobsbawn argues nations are invented tradition, include invention of education, public ceremonies and mass production of public monuments. The nations are defined by those invented traditions.

Bankruptcy filing is the latest event in nonprofit's decline
When it filed for bankruptcy reorganization last week, San Diego Hospice didn't have the optimistic outlook often associated with such filings.
Rather than promise it would streamline its operations, restructure its finances and emerge stronger than before, it left that possibility very much in doubt.
"It is unclear if we will have a viable organization moving forward," said Kathleen Pacurar, the nonprofit's chief executive officer.
Further clouding the picture, Scripps Health announced that same day that it would purchase a small Poway hospice, bringing a big new competitor into the marketplace.
Once the largest hospice operator in the region with a daily patient census of about 1,000, San Diego Hospice has seen its numbers dwindle to only 450, Pacurar reported Monday, when the organization filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The rapid decrease started in November when Pacurar announced that the organization faced a still-unresolved Medicare audit that appears to question the way it qualified patients for government reimbursement.
Medicare pays San Diego Hospice $175 per day for each hospice patient it cares for. However, Medicare expects hospices to admit only patients who are likely to die within six months.
In some cases, Pacurar has said, the hospice was too liberal with its admissions, continuing to claim reimbursement even though patients didn't show continuing signs of decline.
The hospice fears it will have to refund millions to Medicare, though it has not yet received final word from the government.
San Diego Hospice shuttered its in-patient hospital in Hillcrest at the end of the year.
Pacurar said Friday that shrinking patient volume has hurt the organization's balance sheet: Today revenues are about 30 percent less than expenses, a situation that will lead to another round of layoffs, she said.
It is a shocking change for a hospice program that is, by all accounts, well respected among its peers. Never just a hospice provider, San Diego Hospice has been a force in palliative care education, offering fellowships to doctors from around the world.
To lose San Diego Hospice would be a blow to the industry, said Jan Jones, chief executive officer of Elizabeth Hospice in Escondido.
"San Diego Hospice is really iconic in the hospice world. They have done great things not just locally, but nationally and internationally," Jones said.
It is not clear just how much of the drop in patients has to do with San Diego Hospice tightening its admissions and discharge standards and how much has to do with doctors losing confidence.
Jones said news of the audit at San Diego Hospice has had an effect on local doctors' willingness to refer their patients for care at many facilities, not just San Diego Hospice. She said many are worried about repercussions if they refer a patient who does not qualify under Medicare's guidelines. That trend, she said, can mean doctors wait longer to refer patients, meaning some can go longer without the end-of-life comfort that hospice can provide.
"One thing that we're trying to make clear to the community is that the onus of responsibility for admission falls on the hospice, not the doctor, so there is really nothing for doctors to fear in making a referral," Jones said.

What is it?
It's a mud-plugging Mitsubishi SUV, but also a potential green posterboy. This Outlander is a soft and cuddly plug-in hybrid, with a claimed fuel economy figure of 148mpg and CO2 emissions of just 44g/km.
What is it?
It's a mud-plugging Mitsubishi SUV, but also a potential green posterboy. This Outlander is a soft and cuddly plug-in hybrid, with a claimed fuel economy figure of 148mpg and CO2 emissions of just 44g/km.
How much?
Yup, you read that right. Those are some mighty impressive figures for a family-friendly, seats-five-easily SUV, even if they don't entirely reflect reality. Even in the real world, you should still average an easy 40mpg, thanks to the combination of electric motors and 2.0-litre petrol engine. And your average will be even higher if you're mainly making short, all-electric trips.
So how does the tech work?
The Outlander PHEV is a plug-in series parallel hybrid, a phrase that might require breaking down. So here goes.
Plug-in: the Mitsu can be hooked up into the mains electricity supply, charging it for a (somewhat theoretical) 'electric-only' range of 32.5 miles.
Series parallel: the petrol engine and electric motors work together, with either source providing motive power directly to the wheels, or be de-clutched and used to charge the batteries back up. The car decides which task has priority at any given point depending on how it's been driven. Think Toyota Prius, but with more emphasis on running on electric, and you'll be about there.
What all this means is that you can set off from home in the morning in full electric mode, and drive about 30 miles on EV only. Then, when the batteries are depleted, the petrol will kick in and get you the rest of the way, at the same time as charging the batteries back up. EV range anxiety solved.
But does it work?
To a certain extent, yes. For short journeys, starting with a full charge, you can achieve some extraordinary 'economy' figures. Despite driving normally, with air con on, we never dipped below 60mpg.
And because it has two electric motors, one on either axle, it's still a four-wheel drive SUV easily capable of towing little Ginny and the nag to the local gymkhana.
But as a car to know and love, the Outlander isn't so great. The batteries have added 200kg to the kerbweight, so it doesn't ride as well as the diesel version.
And the 2.0-litre petrol is disappointing. It doesn't add the expected boost in power when it kicks in, and it's a wheezy lump that rasps asthmatically as soon as you push it. Compared to the smooth electric mode, the Outlander's combustion engine feels very old-school.
So should I buy one?
It depends. If you don't do huge miles, and like doing your bit for the planet but don't want to compromise on range or practicality, the hybrid Outlander makes sense.
Especially when you factor in the cost. Including government subsidy, the hybrid will cost you exactly the same as the diesel Outlander: £28,249. In other words, there's no price penalty for being green.
And company car drivers should definitely take a look. Because of the low tax bands, company car users will save a fortune over three years - as much as £11,500 compared to some rivals.
The Outlander hybrid theory, then, is great. The execution? Not quite. Yet.

I will be in Indianapolis, IN to see Korn play May 2nd. I hope they play the songs I listed because that would be a dream come true. Play the old stuff!

Re: Korn Setlist on upcoming tour
Korn every so often has online voting requests for setlists, hopefully they will do that again sometime soon, sometimes good songs they don't often play get requested. The only time I have seen "My Gift To You" was when Korn did a tour that had an online voting set list request.
Re: Korn Setlist on upcoming tour
Doesn't Fieldy not want to play ADIDAS?
They should really play songs from Follow The Leader like Justin, Cameltosis, My Gift To You, BBK, Dead Bodies Everywhere and Reclaim My Place

The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign Begins Today $3M Goal to Sustain Critical Programs & Services Campaign Runs Through January 31
Wauwatosa, WI (November 2, 2012) The Salvation Army of Milwaukee County announces the launch of its annual Red Kettle Christmas Campaign with the traditional Red Kettles and a benefit concert featuring Frank Sinatra, Jr. at the Pabst Theater on Friday, November 2. Tickets can be purchased at the Pabst box office by calling 414-286-3663 or www.pabsttheater.org. The benefit concert is hosted by The Salvation Army Advisory Board and Red Kettle Campaign Honorary Chair, Green Bay Packer Hall of Famer LeRoy Butler.
The Red Kettle Campaign goal of The Salvation Army in Milwaukee is 3 million dollars. This will sustain more than 80 critical programs and services including Toy Shop, Christmas Family Feast, Feed the Kids, back to school supplies, emergency shelter and emergency disaster relief, medical, food pantries, meals to the homeless and care to our seniors and veterans. Red Kettle Bell Ringers can be seen and heard at area businesses in Milwaukee County through Christmas Eve. Donations can also be made through January 31 on-line at www.SAmilwaukee.org, by texting the word 'Give' to 80888 to make a $10 donation, by scanning The Salvation Army QR code with your smart phone or by mailing your donation to The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign, P.O. Box 26019, Wauwatosa, WI 53226.
"The economy is slowly repairing, but many families continue to experience tough times. We've seen a significant increase in the numbers of people coming to us for help, especially new families, never before needing help," said Major Roger Ross, Salvation Army Milwaukee County Commander. "It's extremely hard during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, with people still losing their jobs, their homes and not knowing how they will provide for their families. That's when The Salvation Army steps in to help and give hope. But, to keep pace with the needs of area families we must rely on generous people in our community to open their hearts with a donation to help their neighbors."
The time-honored Salvation Army tradition of bell ringing started in 1891 by Captain Joseph McFee. It has humble beginnings as a simple cooking pot that have now spread nationwide to become what is commonly known as the 'Red Kettle.' The Red Kettle has served as a symbol of goodwill for more than 100 years and signifies the beginning of the Christmas season. The Salvation Army Red Kettle Christmas Campaign will include traditional fundraising methods such as direct mail and on-line donations, texting and the highly visible Red Kettles. The campaign raises money that funds the many programs and services the organization operates throughout the year that serve the neediest in Milwaukee County.
Eighty-four cents of every dollar donated supports critical Salvation Army programs and services.
To offer your place of business as a bell ringing site or to volunteer your employees to ring bells call 414-302-4300 or visit www.SAmilwaukee.org.
About The Salvation Army:
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination since 1865. Nearly 33 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. Nationally, approximately 84 cents of every dollar raised is used to support those services in nearly 9,000 communities nationwide. For more information, go to www.SAmilwaukee.org.

SIDblaster/USB is a portable PC SID-synthesizer. Hook it up to your USB-port and you're good to go. It is designed to work with a MOS 6501 SID. If you need to use a 6500 or 6502, the RNM-0512S needs to be replaced by a 5V to 9V DC-DC regulator.
SIDblaster/USB is partially HardSID-compatible (under Windows) in the sense that it can be used in many programs that support the HardSID by the means of a hacked hardsid.dll. Compatiblity has been verified with SidPlay2, SidPlay2/W and GoatTracker.
The decoupling capacitors (the grouped 100nF, 10nF and 4.7nF) should be connected near their respective circuits:
- 100nF: FT232R
- 4.7nF: FT232R
- 10nF: PIC16F86
Two examples of compact pcb solutions (left: hole mount right: surface mount) that can be mounted in a small case. The AUDIO port needs to be wired to a suitable connector, for example a 3.5mm audio jack. The card is intended to be mounted in a case with tracks for the PCB. The height of the card needs to be adjusted to fit different cases. On the left hand side of the PCB is a USB-B port. You'll need to open up a rectangular hole in the case for this port to slide through when the PCB is inserted.
Compact hole-mount solution. Verified, functional!
Ultra-compact SMT solution, only ~50% larger than the SID-chip. Not verified!

- Not critical, may be bridged. Used to remove high frequency interferance.
- May have suitable replacement.
- Is a 1x40 header that should be broken into two 1x3 headers to replace the 2x3 header.
- Is a 1x40 header that should be broken into two 1x14 headers that will hold the SID.
Need to know
The PCB layout is missing a restor on the ICSPHDR between the VPP and VDD pins. This resistor MAY be needed for ICSP-programming using a programmer that requires external MCLR (ICD3 for example). The resistor should be between 1k and 10k (see programmer documentation), 4k7 worked well in our case. The resistor is only needed during programming, once programmed you can bridge VPP and VDD using a jumper. If internal MCLR is used, no jumper or resistor is needed.
Several of the capators in electrokits online catalogue are incorrectly marked in regards to pin spacing. All capacators should have a spacing of 2.54mm, allthough 5.08mm spaced capacators can usually be bent so that they'll fit.
Depending on what version of the PCB-layout you have, it's possible the the DC-DC regulator will not fit. This has been corrected in later revisions of the layout. The legs of the regulator can be bent so that they can be connected using a piece of wire.
Shock sensitivity
During shipping (using swedish postal service in a padded envelope) of the first SIDblaster from Sweden to Åland the SID-chip became dislodged from it's socket. Apart from this and the fact that the CD was crushed it was in good shape upon arrival. If your SIDblaster is to be transported or otherwise roughly handled you might want to consider locking the chip down in some way.
If you are interested in the Windows software (hacked hardsid.dll with MinGW source), PIC firmware (.hex or assembler source) or gerber and excellon files for PCB manufacturing – you can contact me at the hotmail address "senseitg". Either that, or you could drop by the research department next tuesday!

The term "access" can have a variety of definitions for life science and digital health entrepreneurs, depending on the phase of their company's development. Similarly, the ability for entrepreneurs to secure access – whether to potential buyers or to funding – varies depending on the type of access they're seeking and the stage of their company.
The team at Ginger.io, a Cambridge, Mass.-based health data company, had a great product: a behavior analytics platform using smartphone data to create health insights. But they needed a clinical partner to help get access to patients and physicians. That's where C3N came in.
Bringing a product or service to market requires an intense amount of capital. Here are several funding options for entrepreneurs and startups.
At age 25, Laura Sanko was a founding member of a startup that raised $3.5 Million from some world-famous investors and the Founder's Fund. The business model was simple: a website that rented high-end jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the retail value of each piece. Three years later, the investment money was all gone and while the site continued to operate, it had failed to meet the investors' expectations.

My question is about fat. I am trying to do Esselstyn's diet, but I am having a hard time with the low fat portion of it. I'm 45.
Is it REALLY okay to eat such little fat?
Also, I am thinking about ordering some of these Omega3 supplements http://www.ovega.com/ and was wondering if anyone else takes them.
Thank you!Tracy
Yes it is ok, and much more heart healthy to eat so little fat. Read Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Esselstyn. The results are amazing, what a low-fat vegan diet did to reverse their illnesses.
As for Omega 3s, you will get a good balance just by following a plant based diet. If you're truly worried, try to eat more leafy greens.
Jodie wrote:
Thank you, Jody I have read his book and have watched tons of his stuff on the internet. I just want to make sure I give my body exactly what it needs. It probably doesn't help that I have been a Weston Price fan in the past. lol
LOL! Yes, it is hard to get over the things you were told was good for you in the past. I used to think "I'll never get osteoporosis" cuz I LOVED milk. Now I just get upset about being lied to by the dairy industry all those years.
Just to reiterate, it really is okay to eat a low-fat diet. Plant foods have a healthy amount of fats in them and in an ideal ratio of omega-3 to omega-6.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
There are fats in pretty much everything - where do corn oil, flaxseed oil, wheat germ oil, olive oil, etc come from? Inside plants! Some things have more than others (for example, peanuts have more fat than spinach) but as long as there's a good variety of foods that you're eating, odds are you'll get enough fat (the kickstart plan aims for about 10% of calories from fat, so it's in there already).
Thank you so much for the replies! I am eating a little more fat than Esselstyn suggests. For example, I had some almond butter with breakfast (on my Ezekiel English muffin), I spritzed my skillet a teeny bit when I sauteed some bok choy, and I have had a few walnuts today.
Just trying to figure it all out.
Tracy, I have used the very low fat Esselstyn diet for almost 2 years. My blood work results are looking great. All - including protein- are right in the middle of the high and low ranges. I do not take any protein supplements.
My fat splurge over the holidays was 4 peanut m&ms, not 4 bags, 4 peanuts. Remember on page 86 when one of Dr. Esselstyn's patient was having olive oil with a salad and the angina recurred?
I figure if I'm going to take the trouble to do the diet, I might as well be as perfect as possible. I survived my first heart attack and I'm determined to do everything possible not to have another. I am taking charge and responsibility for my own health.
I'm up to running 90 miles a month and will make it 100 miles a month this year.My heart function has returned to normal and my cardiologist has discontinued all my heart meds except a small dose of statins for my hereditary cholesterol. My cardiologist usually wants his patients to do a stress test a year after the procedure but I got to bypassed the test because of my angina free running. That's the kind of bypass I like!

That is amazing! You've turned your life around! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with me. I need to trust the process.
I work out a lot too. Right now I am doing P90X. I'm 5'4" at 117 pounds. I don't want to lose weight at all, and I'm finding it a challenge to actually eat enough calories. With the weight lifting I am doing plus to not lose weight, I think I need around 1,700 daily. When I counted up my calories last night they were only 1,350. I was full and satisfied though.
I'm still reading Engine 2 and am picking up the book Thrive today. I am hoping to learn from top vegan athletes how to fuel my body with enough calories.
Hopefully soon I will be able to contribute to helping others on this board and not just need help. I'm not usually so needy! lol
Tracy, just a note about the fats. 3 years before my heart attack I found out that I had plaque built-up through a $99 heart scan - in fact right where the plaque was built up (and broke off causing the heart attack) is where there is now a stint. I lost 30 pounds on the American Heart Association Diet and was had been mostly vegetarian for 6 months and vegan for 2 months before. I wish the heart hospital would have recommended Esselstyn's book. The fat is what I believe was the culprit. I ate lots of nuts and guacamole.
If you are going vegan for health reasons, the low fat is essential if you have atherosclerosis.
It was the KickStart program that recommended Esselstyn's book. A trip to Houston to The Weatherhead PET Center for Preventing and Reversing Atherosclerosis with their emphasis on exercise, low fat diet, and a lean body solidified the facts for me and is the incentive to keep me on this diet/lifestyle.
Tracy, I'm adding weights to my cardio training. I Just googled the p90x it sounds intense. Is there any information on eliminating the supplements with a low fat vegan diet?
I'd appreciate a bit more information than a simple, "don't worry, low fat is just fine." What about the distinction between "good" and "bad" fats that I've heard so much about? For example, I typically put avocado on my salads and walnuts on my oatmeal because I've heard that those are "good" fats. And I've also heard that being too strict about avoiding fats is a bad idea because a certain amount of fat is necessary, especially for proper brain function. So, what's the appropirate amount of fat and where should we be getting it? Thanks in advance for any additional information!
yes, a certain amount of fat is needed - and virtually every plant has some fat in it to start with. Most people don't really need to worry about not getting enough fat, even when eating a totally plant based lifestyle. Again, the kickstart is not "fat free" - the target is 10% of calories from fat, which is plenty for healthy living without having to look for ways to add extra fat. If you're pregnant/nursing, you'd probably need to add some fat. If you burn through a lot of calories in a day (marathoning or whatever), you can probably add some fat since it's a source of compact calories (9 calories per gram if I remember correctly). Otherwise, following the basic parameters of the kickstart plan is plenty (assuming you're eating a variety of foods and you're eating a reasonable amount of calories for your personal needs).
What does "10% of calories from fat" mean in terms of grams? Is there a formula like you provided for protein (0.36 x body weight)? For an 1800 calorie diet, 10% of calories is 180 but that's not fat grams? I'm confused!
From what I've read, the body can make all the fats it needs on its own from plant-based foods. The only fats the body cannot make on its own are saturated fats but those are definitely okay not to have.

22.5g since 8 calories are in 1g of fat.
But i think the point is just to avoid using overt fats in foods and not count. The not counting part is what appeals to me about this. I've been counting cals for years with mixed success. Since starting this i stopped and have lost far more weight than when i was counting cals and i finally feel like i can eat as much as i want without feeling guilty.

Yup. Don't ADD fat to things and eat sparingly (if at all, depending on your needs) of higher fat foods like nuts, you almost can't avoid ending up in a good range if you're getting adequate calories and eating a variety of foods (grains, beans, legumes, veggies of all sorts, fruits). And, to get adequate calories, eat until you are satisfied (not stuffed or sated) - whether that's one serving of veggie full chili or three.
What an inspiring story you have to share! Your running sounds truly joyous.
