Hello! I love the Longer Thicker Slouch Socks so much and would like to know if they will ever be sold in additional colors (besides b&w)? I love the colors of the Ribbed M Stockings but they are way too long for my short little legs :)
extra long and thick slouch sock do you have a package with more then I pair in it?
When are the white pairs of longer, thicker slouch socks available in white. Hopefully soon.
Dearest Sock Dreams: Received my package of fabulous socks and tights and just had to give you all a big thank you! LOVE the watermelon stripes, and the cable knit socks are so comfortable. Thanks again for fueling my addiction to your socks!

Billabong Pro Tahiti: Day 2 Highlights From Teahupo'o
Day two of the Billabong Pro Tahiti wasn't the most exciting day we've ever seen at "the world's heaviest wave," but in between the strong gusts of wind and long lulls there were some moments of beauty. Take Miguel Pupo's heat against Yadin Nicol. The two Hurley riders met up in a wave-filled affair and exchanged barrel after barrel. While Miggy took the win, Yadin can hold his head high, any other heat his score of 16.97 points would have got him through. It was a tough break for Yadin during a tough break filled year.
Other casualties included newly returned Hawaiian Dusty Payne, Pat Gudauskas, and last years surprise of the event, Matt Wilkinson. Next up is round three, and with not a lot of swell on the horizon, one can assume that Billabong and contest director Luke Egan are just going to push through in the average surf and finish the event as soon s they can. Bummer it's not like last year, but trust me, when Chopes is in the three-to-four foot range, it's the funnest wave ever—but that's not what these guys are pad for, we want to see the carnage. Maybe next year when I make my grand return… —Justin Cote
ASP Press Release: Clean Conditions Ramp Up Performance Levels at Billabong Pro Tahiti Day 2
TEAHUPO'O, Taiarapu/Tahiti (Friday, August 17, 2012) – Clean conditions and pulsing three-to-four foot (1 – 1.5 metre) surf greeted the world's best surfers today as Round 2 was completed at the primary venue of Teahupo'o.
Event No. 5 of 10 on the 2012 ASP World Championship Tour, the Billabong Pro Tahiti enjoyed historic conditions for the 2011 installment, but faces the challenge of a less-than-ideal swell forecast for this season's event. Despite this hurdle, the world's best surfers have been tearing into the chunky lefthander of Teahupo'o the past two days and, once again, the Brazilians proved to be in top form.
Miguel Pupo (BRA), 20, led the South American charge today, netting an incredible 18.97 out of a possible 20 to eliminate Yadin Nicol (AUS), 26, and advance through to Round 3. In the young Brazilian's first competitive showing at Teahupo'o, Pupo exhibited superb tube-riding skills on his forehand. "The waves were really fun for our heat," Pupo said. "The waves are stop and go out there. Some heats have waves and some do not. We were happy to have a lot of waves in our heat. This is my first time competing at Teahupo'o so I am just trying to get as many waves as I can and build my experience." Pupo will take on Owen Wright (AUS), 22, in Round 3 of competition.
Jeremy Flores (FRA), 24, current No. 11 on the ASP WCT ratings and last year's recipient of the coveted Andy Irons Award, posted a commanding win today over Dusty Payne (HAW), 23. Flores' comfort in the South Pacific reef pass is indicative of his development in powerful reefs all over the world. "I grew up in Reunion and now live in New Caledonia so I spend a lot of time surfing over reefs," Flores said. "Unfortunately, we don't have conditions like we did last year, but when the waves come, Teahupo'o is still an excellent barrel. Most places in the world would kill to have waves like we have today so it's all good." Flores will face Heitor Alves (BRA), 30, in Round 3 of the Billabong Pro Tahiti.
Kieren Perrow (AUS), 35, tour veteran and current ASP WCT No. 31, broke through a rough slump at the start of the year with a convincing win over Tiago Pires (PRT), 32, today. The 2011 Billabong Pipe Masters champion pig-dogged his way to an impressive 16.60 out of a possible 20 heat total and advanced directly to Round 3. "It's been a tough start to 2012 for me so it feels great to get a heat win again," Perrow said. "I feel like I'm surfing well and I'm getting good boards off of Darren (Handley) so everything is there. It's just about putting smart heats together. Today's conditions are so much cleaner than yesterday's so when the waves do come through they have great potential." Perrow will take on Round standout Adriano de Souza (BRA), 25, in Round 3 when competition resumes.
Event organizers will reconvene tomorrow morning at 6:30am to assess conditions for a possible 7am start. Surfline, official forecasters for the Billabong Pro Tahiti are calling for a mixed bag of pulsey, shorter to medium period South and SSW swells in the 3-5' range on the face (chest-head high) for tomorrow.
When competition resumes, up first will be two-time ASP World Champion and current ASP WCT No. 1 Mick Fanning (AUS), 31, up against Fredrick Patacchia (HAW), 30, in the opening heat of Round 3. For more information, log onto www.ASPWorldTour.com

Classified ad of the week: Toyota Celica
Our little acknowledgement of Toyota's return to Le Mans
Posted: 21 Feb 2013
This is not a Ford Mustang. What's that smashing noise coming from Toyota's design studio? It sounds like the system...
Yep, despite bearing the visual grammar of America's legendary pony car, this is actually a mighty clean 1977 RA28 Toyota Celica Liftback GT. And we're highlighting this ad partly as an excuse to link back to this story about Toyota re-entering Le Mans, but mostly because it's gorgeous.
Built during the model's first year of production, this is, as the seller describes, the 'holy grail' of questionable Toyota coupes. Under the bonnet you'll find the largest version of the Toyota Celica R28 series engine - a whopping 2.0-litres - that breathes through two twin-barrel carburetors and whisks output up to 120hp, giving it a top speed of 120mph.
And in all of our long years, we've not seen a cleaner example outside a museum (shame about the horrid blue coolant hoses, though). It's had just three previous owners in the last 15 years, and it's only showing 63,000 miles on the clock. There's also air conditioning and a tape player - but that deliciously awful rear window louvre isn't included in the sale...
But it's not what you'd call cheap. It is what you'd call £17,995.
Any takers from the TopGear.commentariat? It'd make a great mule for driving to Le Mans...*
*Please note that it might not make a great mule for driving to Le Mans, and might actually break down expensively and explosively instead.

The BMW stands much more firmly even on quite a soft surface with Touratech's larger side stand foot. Even if you park the bike in a meadow you do not always have to look for a small plank of wood or another base.
No instructions are currently available for this product.
A simple but effective way to help eliminate the common frustration of having the motorcycle kick-stand sink into the soil when the ground is soft, wet or sandy. This part really does work well and do what it is intended to do. The only issue that I have had with this part was that the first one I purchased fell off and i lost it. It could have been that I did not tighten the locking nuts properly or check them for tightness after the first 50 miles or so. in any case, the second unit has been on the bike ever since with no problem.

This works. Helps the bike from sinking in on softer soil and sand. Mine did loosen once after a couple months but I re-tightened it and it's been fine ever since.

Welcome to the Best Practices section of SERC's Web site! We're here to research, compile, disseminate and promote practices for educators and families with the goal of improving educational opportunities for all children. SERC, with support from the CT State Department of Education and the Connecticut Vanguard Schools Initiative, has identified effective practices -- connected to nine standards found in effective schools -- that improve student performance.
In addition, this site recognizes and celebrates the Connecticut schools that have embodied the nine standards and strive to continue Best Practices. By sharing their methods, we hope to demonstrate that Best Practices in Education can be achieved in every school.
What is "Best Practice?"
The term "Best Practice" has been used to describe "what works" in a particular situation or environment. When data support the success of a practice, it is referred to as a research-based practice or scientifically based practice. As good consumers of information, we must keep in mind that a particular practice that has worked for someone within a given set of variables may or may not yield the same results across educational environments.
These are the nine standards:

even then sometimes cheap ones might surprise you. When I moved back out to the family farm, there was internet in my sisters house but not mine. We are seprated by 396 feet from her exterior wall to my exterior wall. Cheapy trednet reached, expensive Belkin wouldn't along with some others from Dlink and Cisco. The best of the group was a cheapy Trendnet rouer for $20 and even a type "G" not "N" usb key. Always had to be in a room on the closest side of her house though but super shocked it reached that far
distance is the difference. granted not much (imo), but distance. 20 feet could be enough for someone to not get another router or add wiring

exact same results from Link and Cisco, over all for me, they are all about the same... for me ANY router for over $40 is a ripoff no matter the brand...
expensive belkin
belkin quality
These phrases do not compute.
belkin is the most worthless pos crap that you can buy...if you paid $1 for their product you over paid. If you paid $20 and you have gotten ripped off, you paid any more and I feel sorry for you. There really should be a belkin owners anonymous club for all belkin owners to get help and fight the disease.

And yeah I also heard that Buffalo routers are good products. However people tend to assume they're not very good just because they're cheap. I normally stay away from routers that are overly expensive, like Draytek ones. They are never as good as people say.

Photographers have an oft-used saying: "It's not the camera, it's the photographer." We would like to adapt that saying to the world of performance engines, ergo: "It's not the engine, it's the builder." Readers of Super Chevy magazine may already be familiar with Smeding Performance and the 572 big-block that was built for the Project American Heroes 1957 Chevy, or the more recent July 2008 cover, which featured one of Smeding's blown crate small-blocks.
But that's yesterday's news. Recently Ben Smeding teamed up with the legendary Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins to build and produce a limited number of street-ready 572 big-blocks. Every Chevrolet enthusiast, young or old, is undoubtedly familiar with "da Grump." Since the 1960s, this Super Chevy Hall of Famer stomped the competition with his innovations and won championships with Chevrolet power.
When we first became aware of the Jenkins/Smeding crate engine, we were champing at the bit to be the first to cover this story, and we did just that. This monster-cubed 572 is in direct competition with the GM ZZ572 crate engine, but is this just another crate engine on the market? The short answer is no. Through the collaborative effort of Jenkins and Smeding, the street-ready 572 has patented piston redesigns, as well as numerous hours of dyno-proven R&D, testing and tuning by Jenkins and the Smeding crew. It's this R&D, testing, tuning and the results thereof that make this engine what it is. The test results at times were quite surprising. Various cam swaps, larger carburetors and larger intakes didn't necessarily yield larger results on the dyno, putting to bed the "Bigger is better" mentality that exists in most of our minds.
The bottom end of each 572, whether it is the fuel-injected or the carbureted version, is built in the same manner. The rotating assembly consists of a custom 4340 forged-steel, internally balanced crank, custom 4340 forged-steel H-beam, lightweight 6.535-inch connecting rods with full floating wrist pins, and custom-designed pistons by Jenkins and Smeding.
Take a look at the piston redesign that Jenkins and Smeding came up with. On the right in the first photo is the custom forged piston; on the left is the forged stock-style piston.
The piston main trusses have been moved inward to be more inline with the major thrust of the skirt to substantially reduce flex. At the same time, this acts as a heat conductor, allowing the piston to run much cooler. With the cooler running piston we are able to run a half point higher compression without the danger of running into detonation.

Don Drumm Studios and Gallery
437 Crouse St.
Akron Ohio 44311United States
(330) 253-6268
Editor's Review
Sculptures, pottery, metalwork and paintings fill Don Drumm Studios and Gallery --floor to ceiling, doorway to stairway, and every space in between.
How do you know you've arrived at Don Drumm Studios and Gallery? Just when you think you're lost, you're there. The GPS leads to a quiet neighborhood just south of the University of Akron, where metalsmith Don Drumm has spent 40 years creating a mini Utopia. Brightly colored houses play host to a warren of showrooms and studios featuring the work of local and national artists. Eight houses make up the compound: In addition to the Don Drumm gallery space, A Different Drummer -- where you'll find imports and textiles -- resides in the house next door, and a studio space takes up residence in a house across the street. Drumm's foundry is behind the main gallery. Wander into the maze of rooms and nooks, and you might not ever make it out again. Every inch of the gallery is packed floor to ceiling with artwork. Pottery and art glass jostle for space with Drumm's signature cast aluminum servingware. The gallery represents more than 500 artists, and with so much to display, it even tumbles out into three quiet courtyards. Chaos reins, but once we gave up trying to make sense of it and just started exploring, we found there's a lot to love at this beloved Akron institution.

All I've installed for drivers outside of Windows Update are the AMD drivers for Windows 8, other than that the drivers are stock. The install of Win8 was performed last night, so it is not even 24 hours old yet.
Has anyone else ran in to this with Win8 RTM? Any ideas to get apps to install from the Windows Store again?
Corrected my fat finger on the Windows version.

9 October seismic swarm includes an M ~ 3.5 event, the largest in 50 years
Download or Cite this Report
At the beginning of October a small cluster of seismic events was recorded by the permanent seismic network of the Osservatorio Vesuviano (figure 4). The most energetic event of the sequence occurred at 0741 on 9 October, with a duration magnitude (MD) of 3.6 and a Wood Anderson equivalent magnitude (MWA) of 3.4. This event was located in the crater area at a depth of about 3 km below sea level, with a preliminary stress-drop of 164 bar and a preliminary moment magnitude of 3.3. According to its MD value, this event was the most energetic of the last 50 years. Its fault plane solution showed a strike slip mechanism. All the events in this sequence were located below the crater area within the first 6 km of the upper crust, typical of seismicity at Vesuvius in recent years.

During the swarm no changes were observed in the temperature or the composition of the fumaroles, in the CO2 flux from soil, or in ground deformation. Both the temperature and the level of the water-table sampled around the volcano appeared unchanged. As of mid-November seismicity seems to have returned to normal low background levels (both in terms of energy and in number of events) that have characterized Vesuvius for several years.

Seismicity during 1995-96 is the highest in the past 50 years

The Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex is a central composite volcano formed by an older stratovolcano (Monte Somma) with a summit caldera partially filled by the composite cone of Vesuvius. The most noted eruption, in 79 A.D., destroyed the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Since the explosive sub-Plinian eruption of 1631, Vesuvius has erupted with both Strombolian and mixed effusive-explosive styles. For the past three centuries the volcanic activity has mainly focused inside the Somma caldera but occasionally lava issued outside it (i.e., 1760 eruption). The last cycle of activity ended with the 1944 eruption. Since then, the volcano has been characterized by moderate seismicity and intra-crater fumarolic activity.
The Osservatorio Vesuviano maintains an array of short-period seismographs (eight three-component and nine vertical-component instruments). Seismicity was monitored during 1995 and March-April 1996. The 1995-96 period was the most active of the past fifty years. Several hundred microearthqukes (M < 3.2) were recorded during 1995, many from sources within the volcanic edifice above sea level. An increase in strain release and in frequency of earthquakes was observed from August to October 1995. During this period 217 events were recorded. Three of these earthquakes had M > 3.0 and were felt by the local population (~600,000 people): the first event (M 3.1, focal depth 3.1 km) occurred on 2 August; the second (M 3.2, focal depth 4.2 km) on 16 September, and the third (M 3.1, focal depth 3.3 km) on 24 September.
During November 1995-February 1996 the seismicity decreased to <10 events/month, and the strongest earthquake was M 2.5. During March-April 1996, however, 296 earthquakes were recorded. A M 3.4 event at 2 km depth was the strongest recorded during the past fifty years. Seismic activity at Vesuvius decreased again after this event.
Hypocenter locations for the past two years have clustered in a small volume below the crater area, no deeper than 6 km below sea level (figure 1). Focal mechanisms of relevant events suggested that the cause of seismicity was crustal rupture. Harmonic tremor and monochromatic low-frequency events were not observed. No changes in ground deformation or fumarolic gas compositions were reported.
|Figure 1. Locations of seismic events at Vesuvius (1995-May 1996). All events have at least five P and one S picks (RMS <= 0.15 sec). Bars in cross-sections represent the errors on focal depths. Circle dimensions are proportional to event magnitudes.
A Reuters news story noted that a geophysical experiment is planned at the end of June to obtain a tomographic image of the volcano. The report said that the experiment, a joint-venture of Swiss, French, and Italian scientists, includes a series of controlled explosions at 14 boreholes on the volcano's slopes and as far away as the Sorrento peninsula. The explosions will be monitored by a network of 250 seismic stations. In addition, a marine seismic prospecting survey will be carried out in the Bay of Naples to investigate the volcano's submarine flanks.

Ongoing sub-crater seismic activity
Download or Cite this Report
Non-eruptive activity at the Mt. Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex is characterized by low seismicity both in terms of energy and numbers of events; very few episodes of intense seismicity occurred during the last twenty years.
In the last three years, however, hundreds of earthquakes have been detected with magnitudes ranging from -0.4 up to 3.4. The plot of monthly seismic events (figure 2) shows the usual fluctuating pattern observed at Vesuvius. The energy release distribution (figure 2) has a sharp peak coinciding with the 1995-96 earthquakes; the strain release curve also recorded two clear steps at these times.
|Figure 2. Monthly seismicity at Vesuvius during 1 Oct 1994 - 31 Aug 1996. The lower part of the figure shows the energy release histogram and the strain release curve. Courtesy of the Osservatorio Vesuviano.
After the seismic crisis of March-April 1996 (BGVN 21:06), seismic activity decreased. During May-August 1996, the permanent seismic network of the Osservatorio Vesuviano recorded 266 microearthquakes, the strongest one had M 2.7. The events belonging to this sequence affected an extremely reduced volume below the crater area at shallow depth, with hypocenters rarely exceeding 6 kilometers below the sea. No changes in ground deformation or fumarolic gas composition were reported in the last field measurements.

Low seismicity prevails after March-May 1996 earthquake swarm
Download or Cite this Report
During late 1996 through early 1997 Somma-Vesuvius remained volcanically quiet and characterized by low seismicity both in terms of energy and number of events.
A few episodes of moderate seismic activity have occurred in the last twenty years. The crisis of March-May 1996, characterized by an M 3.4 event (BGVN 21:08) was followed by a significant decrease of the seismic activity (figure 3). After the crisis, during June 1996-April 1997, 350 microearthquakes (maximum magnitude, 2.7) were recorded at the permanent seismic network of the Osservatorio Vesuviano. As has been typical in the past, foci appeared in a small volume below the crater area, rarely at depths below 6 km.
|Figure 3. Seismic activity at Vesuvius during the period 1 January 1996-30 April 1997, showing daily events (top), energy (histogram, bottom), and strain release (line, bottom). Courtesy of the Osservatorio Vesuviano.
During January 1996-April 1997 the monthly temporal distribution of both earthquakes and their energy fluctuated, as had been the case in the past. The distribution of the cumulative strain release (figure 3) had its regular trend, disturbed only by the seismic crisis of March-May 1996. Both ground deformation and fumarolic gas composition data remained stable.

One of the world's most noted volcanoes, Vesuvius (Vesuvio) forms a dramatic backdrop to the Bay of Naples. The historically active cone of Vesuvius was constructed within a large caldera of the ancestral Monte Somma volcano, thought to have formed incrementally beginning about 17,000 years ago. The Monte Somma caldera wall has channeled lava flows and pyroclastic flows primarily to the south and west. Eight major explosive eruptions have taken place in the last 17,000 years, often accompanied by large pyroclastic flows and surges, such as during the well-known 79 CE Pompeii eruption. Intermittent eruptions since 79 CE were followed by a period of frequent long-term explosive and effusive eruptions beginning in 1631 and lasting until 1944. The 1631 eruption was the largest since 79 CE and produced devastating pyroclastic flows that reached as far as the coast and caused great destruction. Many towns are located on the volcano's flanks, and several million people live within areas potentially affected by eruptions of Vesuvius.

|This engraving of the 1631 eruption of Vesuvius shows a vertical eruption column and pyroclastic flows sweeping down the flanks of the volcano to the sea. This is the earliest known depiction of pyroclastic flows, which were responsible for the fatalities at Pompei and Herculaneum during the 79 AD eruption. The 1631 eruption was one of the largest at Vesuvius in historical time and began the modern period of frequent, long-duration eruptions of Vesuvius.
Engraving by G. Battista Passaro (from the collection of Maurice and Katia Krafft, published in Simkin and Siebert, 1994).
|An ash-rich eruption column rises above the summit of Vesuvius in 1944, near the end of a long-duration eruption that began in 1913. The 1944 eruption of Vesuvius included the emission of voluminous lava flows and vigorous explosions that left a 300-m-deep crater at the summit. It marked the end of the latest eruptive cycle of Vesuvius, which had begun in 1913 with long-duration lava effusion and strombolian eruptions. The paroxysmal phase began on March 18, 1944, and ended on April 4.
Photo by U.S. Navy, 1944.
|This early photograph of Vesuvius looking east across the Bay of Naples depicts the major eruption of April 1872. A vigorous plinian eruption column rises from the summit crater, and ash columns also rise from a NW-flank fissure that fed a lava flow that traveled far down the west flank, overrunning several villages. Steam also rises above another lava flow below and to the right of the summit. This eruption began with lava effusion in December 1870.

|The bedded layers at the right, near the town of Torre de Greco on the south flank of Vesuvius, are pyroclastic-surge deposits from the Avellino eruption, dated about 3700 years ago. This eruption, one of eight major explosive eruptions since formation of the Monte Somma caldera, produced 2.9 cu km of airfall tephra. Pyroclastic surges (1 cu km) swept all sides of the volcano and traveled as far as 22 km to the NW, covering an area now overlain by much of the city of Naples.

|The dark-colored lava flow filling the caldera moat between the cone of Vesuvius and the caldera wall of Monte Somma in the background was erupted in 1944, near the end of the eruptive cycle that began in 1913.
Photo by Roberto Scandone, 1989 (University of Rome).
|The upper crater rim of Vesuvius is capped by thick tephra deposits from its last eruption in 1944. The bedded tephra layers overlie a light-colored layer at the right, a lava flow that had been erupted earlier during the 1944 eruption. The steep wall beneath the 1944 lava flow is cut through pre-1944 lava flows.

|Mount Vesuvius rises above an excavated stadium in the buried city of Pompeii. The 79 AD eruption began on August 24 with phreatomagmatic explosions that produced widespread ashfall. Many residents of Pompei and other towns had evacuated prior to the onset of devastating pyroclastic flows the following day that swept over broad areas as far as 30 km from the volcano and caused thousands of fatalities.
Photo by Dan Dzurisin (U.S. Geological Survey), 1983.
|Mount Vesuvius provides a backdrop to the city of Naples. The modern cone of Vesuvius is flanked on the left by Monte Somma, the rim of a caldera that formed about 17,000 years ago. Eight major explosive eruptions have occurred since, including the 79 AD eruption that destroyed Pompeii and other towns. A period of frequent, long-duration eruptions began in 1631. The latest eruption of Vesuvius was in 1944.

The Art of Sales Negotiations
Salesmen trying to force products on customers only fail over time. The main key to negotiations is product knowledge. Before an employee plans to engage in the sales process, provide them with as much background about the product or service as possible. Its applications, operation and even troubleshooting processes help the salesman understand the item completely. Once they present it to the customer, salesmen can show the item's true value. When a customer perceives value in an item, the price doesn't appear too shocking. Applying a high price to an item that is poorly described only disrupts the negotiation process and often causes a no-sale situation.
Certain industries, such as heavy machinery, require long-term negotiations over six-figure sales. These relationships need to be treated carefully to avoid offending customers. For example, the salesman cannot call the customer each day and hard-sell them the product. Conversations should be spread across several weeks while talking about industry-wide subjects, rather than the potential sale itself. Cultivating a business relationship allows the customer to trust the salesman. A savvy salesman may troubleshoot a current product in use, providing the service free-of-charge, to show good faith. That customer has a good reason to agree to the sale in the near future.
Each customer has a unique point of view that needs to be understood by the salesman. For short-term negotiations, talk candidly about ultimate goals. Are they looking for a new or used car? Is mileage a concern? Understanding concerns and desires helps you narrow down a product or service for the customer that still brings in profits. If they're concerned about buying a used electronic surveying device, for example, offer a discounted repair contract to entice the overall sale. Customers want reassurance that they'll be supported even after the sale. Service contracts or warranties are perfect accompaniments to a sale.
The art of reciprocation is a strong force in sales. If you have a particularly difficult sale to make, consider a concession. Offer free floor mats in a new car, for instance. Even provide free oil changes for the first 10,000 miles when the customer buys the top car model on the lot. These concessions cost very little in the overall big picture. The profit is in the large items, covering any small inventory loss on service or accessories. As a result, customers feel like they got something for free, giving them a sense of obligation to buy the large item in return.
The art of sales negotiation requires people skills and a basic knowledge of psychological principles. With time and care, each sale can be successful.
To learn how to become a dominate force in sales and outperform others, MindStorm has created the Power Persuasion Program. We developed a formula that combines powerful presentation style pitch with consultative selling so you are literally getting the best of both worlds- each compensating where the other lacks. This method creates intense interest right from the beginning and then helps the customer make that purchase that he or she is now excited about- it does all of this with no wasted movements so your sales will skyrocket.

Twenty years or so ago, a few politicians got caught when somebody asked them the price of a gallon of milk and they didn't know the answer. As a consequence, campaign managers and political consultants started making sure their candidates knew the price of milk and a few similar items like a loaf of bread, should they ever be called upon to assure voters that they do in fact visit the supermarket and are thus in touch with how regular folk live their lives. In a similar but somewhat more complex game of gotcha, Marco Rubio is the latest Republican politician to express discomfort about the question of the earth's age. Unfortunately, unlike the price of milk, that's not a question upon which people of every ideology agree. But if you're a politician wondering what you should answer if you get asked the question, here's a guide to the possibilities, and what each one says about you. There are four possible answers:
1. "The earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old." This answer says more than, "I have memorized this particular fact." By being stated as a fact, it communicates not only that you accept that the work of physicists and geologists is a more helpful guide to this question than counting up the "begat"s in the Old Testament, but also that you also aren't particularly afraid of those who believe otherwise. It also might indicate that you are a believing Catholic, since the Vatican, not exactly a bastion of progressive thinking, is totally fine with the science on this one.
2. "I'm not sure of the exact number, but it's in the billions." Much like answer number 1, this one marks you as someone who is pro-science. But it says you aren't a know-it-all, so that might make it go down a little easier with the folks back home.
3. "I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians..." This is Rubio's answer, and it means, "I'm a Republican with national aspirations." You'll notice how he cleverly offers something for everyone. By saying "I'm not a scientist," he acknowledges that a scientist might be able to tell you the age of the earth, as opposed to telling you the approved propaganda of the International Scientific Conspiracy. But then he says "that's a dispute amongst theologians," which I'm not even sure is true (do theologians really argue about this?), but in any case winks to the Republican base that maybe Rubio thinks the real answer is to be found in whether you assign each "begat" 20 years or 25 years. So if you're a Republican, this is safe territory. Although I have no idea whether this applies to Rubio, this is also what you say if you know full well how old the earth is but are afraid that you'll offend the rubes if you say so.
4. "The earth is somewhere between 6,000 and 9,000 years old." This answer says, "I'm a Republican from a safe conservative district." Not all Republicans from safe conservative districts believe this, but I'm pretty sure that everyone in Congress who does believe it is a Republican from a safe conservative district. As Representative Paul Broun of Georgia recently put it so colorfully, "All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. And it's lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior. You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I've found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don't believe that the earth's but about 9,000 years old." For the record, despite what he said, Broun is not actually a scientist, though he did somehow manage to obtain a medical degree, which of course makes him an expert in geology, enabling him to sift through "a lot of scientific data" and determine that every actual scientist is wrong about this question.
So those are your options. I don't know if any of the Republicans who will soon be lining up for 2016 will be asked this question, but if they are, I'm betting they'll all choose answer number 3.

(5) I was created by God five minutes ago, with my mind preloaded with memories and beliefs that all the rest of you exist, that I have spend (x) years living on this earth, and that the earth has existed longer than I have. Since the earth does not really exist except in my own mind, it makes no difference whether we say 6000 or 4 billion years. Since no one but me exists, I know I will win all the "votes" and take "office". Any qestions?

This article marks a critical point. Why is Jesus still running the Republican Party? I consider myself a Republican, but am nauseated by the Religious Right, which incidentally we received from the Democrats during the southern strategy, right? I'll never become a Democrat because your party is just as religious as Todd Akin's except your religion derives from the texts of Marx and his philosophical offspring. You believe in a welfare state that is no more connected to reality than the pearly gates the Jesus Whigs still pray for.
The only good thing to come from the last election is that based on the Medieval thought processes of the likes of Akin and Murdoch, the Republican Party will have to recognize that they need to leave their golden leaf King James at home and bring their minds to the table to counter the spoiled, runny nosed college punk in the White House who is going to (continue to) make a mess of this country over the next four years.
Republicans' focus should be, exclusively, on rolling back the excesses of the Eurostate and protecting the newest, most successful system of economics yet in history, the free market. America is a product of the Enlightenment, not the church.

Harajuku Arm Warmers
Also found in:
♠ Arm Warmers ♠ Tabbisocks ♠ Wool ♠ Warm! ♠ Autumn ♠ Solid ♠ Cosplay
Many colors, great fit, a staple anyone who ever gets cold hands should have at least one pair. Simple, thick woolly arm warmers with thumb holes. From the labels: "Harajuku chic make you hot!"
One size - should fit small to large hands nicely. About 11 inches from cuff to cuff when unstretched, except for Dark Brown and California Orange which are about 12 inches. These will be shorter once on your arms, usually about 10 inches. These can stretch up to the elbow on some people, but they prefer to hang out midway up the forearm.
Additional Info: The turquoise was very hard to get right in the image, it is a really pretty clear blue with green tones.
Made in Japan.
Fiber Content: 80% acrylic, 15% nylon, 5% wool.
For either blend, hand or machine wash cold water, lay flat to dry. We think these are very soft, but those sensitive to wool may find them itchy.
Label: Tabbisocks
I just received these today, and I find them somewhat scratchy even though I'm not usually sensitive to wool. Will washing them make the material softer?
Is it just me or do the black ones have a different texture than the other colors? They almost look like they're inside-out or something in the picture.
Does the photo of "yellow" represent the color well? On my screen it looks similar to but maybe even a bit more orange than the "mustard" colored Harajuku leg warmers.
What is the approximate largest hand and arm circumference these could comfortably fit?
Is "Dark Cyan" and "Teal" the same color? You have exactly the same pic for both.
Got my legwarmers in the mail today and not a moment too soon... With windchill, the temperature has dropped to -42! This means I get to wear tights, socks, and legwarmers all together! Thank you Sock Dreams for keeping my toes warm!

Kauffman Labs is not your typical classroom, but then again, Nancie and I are not your typical instructors. In fact we do little in the way of instruction in the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program (IHEP) and focus more of our energy towards facilitation. Students are encouraged to explore, experiment, solve problems and learn from one another. It's not what they're used to, but I think they liked it. It gave them the opportunity to expand their idea of education beyond the confines of absorption and regurgitation. It's about learning from the experiences they have with each other.
In this installment of my Ice House series, I sat down with Ice House alum Chris Vallee to learn first hand what he got out of the entrepreneurship program. Vallee, an intern at the Kauffman Foundation, attended the program two years ago at Johnson County Community College. Signing up for the class by chance, he quickly found a new perspective on the decisions he had been making in his life, and a renewed, invigorating urge to chase the life goals he had let fall by the wayside.
Last week, we hosted Ice House Facilitator Training here at the Foundation. We had people come from across the country and the international community to be trained in how to facilitate an entrepreneurial mindset to members of their community. I had the chance to sit down with one of the facilitators, Rob Elwood, and learn about his reason for coming to this training, and how he sees it benefiting his community in Annapolis, Md.
