The European Commission is using patents for the new MAC transmission standard to shield microchip manufacturers from cheap imports from the Far East.
Earlier this month, the Commission unveiled a draft directive which requires all European satellite broadcasters to change over to the new transmission standard within the next few years (Technology, 15 June). It says that European microchip manufacturers will then be able to move on to the high-definition HD-MAC standard. But the Commission is less keen to discuss its use of the MAC patents to protect European manufacturers.
Until the late 1980s, the European electronics industry relied on patents of the present PAL TV system to fend off cheap imports. But these patents have now expired, leaving the door open to Far Eastern manufacturers. The issue has been complicated because satellite broadcasters, such as Sky, have adopted the PAL standard.
The Independent Broadcasting Authority came up with the ...

Windhoek — The group, Tonetic, return to Acoustic Friday tonight at the Franco-Namibia Cultureal Cnetre (FNCC)'s Terrace.
This is exactly two years after featuring at its first edition in February 2011, Namibian singer/songwriter Steffen List aka TONETiC, returns to FNCC's Acoustic Friday Concert to present his long awaited debut album, Tones of Red. The show starts at eight O'clock and tickets are N$30 each in advance and N$40 each at the doors. Strongly influenced by the intricacies of his country's endless landscapes, powerful primal energies and its diverse people, TONETiC writes songs with a sensitive edge tracing emotional complexities, intensities of togetherness and separation, and the ever-questioning trials of man and animal. "I draw from very deep and personal, sometimes evocative moods and emotions when I write and compose", says Steffen List. "My music is not meant to induce sadness - I find peace and solace through musical expression and hope that my music has a comparable effect on others."
Classically trained as cellist in his youth, latin and rock bassist in his late teens and self-taught guitarist in his late twenties, TONETiC manifested solidly end of 2010 and gave his first public concert at the FNCC's Acoustic Friday in February 2011.
He has since had numerous concerts and represented Namibia at festivals locally and in Malawi. He recently received the award for Best Original Music Score for the short film 100 BUCKS at the 2012 Namibian Theatre and Film Awards. He performs live with bassist Afron Nyambali, Pianist Ghyss McCurley and various drummers.

While there are more "gourmet" style pizza places nearby, you really can't beat USA pizza in terms of value. The pies are delicious, with a large variety of toppings offered as well as standard fare sandwiches, calzones, garlic knots, etc. Probably not the best pizza in the city, but certainly the best in the area, and at a reasonable price too.
Posted by JG on 03/03/2009
I love the baked ziti, and the service is great. The salad dressing, though, isn't so great.
Posted by Andi on 05/13/2008
We order from these folks all the time. Great Pizza & Meatball sandwiches. However, we only order for pick-up and never eat in the place.
Posted by layeth8 on 10/30/2007
The place has a handful of tables so seating could be at a premium during rush hours. It actually was a bit of a wait thanks to the goofy kids out on lunch break. A good variety of toppings available. Pizza overall was better than most, though the crust was a bit thin for heavy toppings (chicken, etc). Price was acceptable. Would definitely return for a crack at their calzones or more pizza. Worth the trip.

They have a good cheese/sauce ratio, and the sauce is very tasty, which is very important. As well, the crust is yummy. It's definitely one of the best slices I've ever had. I highly recommend it.
Posted by Maryann on 04/15/2006
Large pie with extra sauce...the best! fast delivery, great prices. Fantastic pizza.
Posted by bexter on 12/15/2005
This place has the best pizza, especially in their delivery area (I'm not bold enough to say the city....there's a lot of pizza to try!) And for what the place lacks in atmosphere the guys make up for. They are very funny! I recommend this place to everyone!

L.A. sommelier practices stem priming, or avinare
By Jessica Yadegaran
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008 at 2:56 pm in Uncategorized.
Heard of the term? It's a practice where stems arrive at the table with a hint of wine already in them. No, Jared Heber, the wine director at Mozza, is not that green, and I'm sure he was tickled by that joke the first 150 times he heard it.
It's something Mario Batali, the owner of Mozza, picked up in Italy, and Heber is continuing the tradition. He pours one ounce of the wine to be served into the first glass. He gives it a swirl to cover the sides and then pours it into another glass. After rinsing all the glasses that are going to the table, the final and reduced pour ends up in a tasting glass for Heber.
The purpose of this priming is to rid the glasses of off-odors or other impurities, so that all you smell and taste is the wine you ordered. Detergents and rinsing agents can leave residues as well. Also, the process allows him to taste the wine and check for cork taint or other flaws.
Pretty cool. Anyone heard of San Francisco restaurants or wine bars doing this?

History of Neoz Lighting
Designers and makers of lighting since 1983
|Today, as I write in mid 2014, our finely crafted NEOZ® Cordless Lamps™ and furniture illuminate literally hundreds of the finest restaurants, hotels, resorts and private homes in over 100 countries around the world.
The latest UNO system featuring our latest LED technology and accompanied by a new range of beautifully designed diffuser have been positively recieved by our customers in the hospitality industry.
We continue to concentrate on design, function and construction quality backed up by solid customer service.
In the beginning, when my artist/photographer wife Anne Gothe and I started Neoz Lighting in 1983, we concentrated on creating table lights and task lighting of high quality construction and design. We continued with custom designed lighting for commercial projects in Australia being awarded a commendation from the Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia.
90s' - Innovation Breakthrough
Our innovative low voltage track lighting systems — Lightrail and Lightwire — proved very effective due to the flexibility of the system to form any shape allowing for optimal lighting and visual effect to be achieved. We were awarded the Australian Design Award in 1998 as well as an award of Excellence from the Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia and New Zealand.
They are still illuminating many of Australia's museums, art galleries, restaurants, homes and even the Visitors' Information Centre at Uluru (Ayer's Rock) National Park in the red centre of Australia.
Mid 90s' - Birth of the Cordless Lamp
Some years later in 1995, after the idea of developing a cordless lamp had already been on my mind for years, we were working on the lighting design for Penfold Wine's Magill Estate restaurant in the Adelaide hills with Sydney architects Allen Jack+Cottier.
A major challenge with restaurant lighting is their need to move tables around and still illuminate them appropriately. Chief architect of the Magill Estate project, Keith Cottier, asked if we could design an electric lamp without a cord to solve this problem. He thought candles were messy and didn't provide enough light. We said yes, and so began the design and development process. We wanted eight hours of light, dimmable and effective at illuminating the table and its diners.
What surprised me at the time was that there were no off-the-shelf battery recharging systems that would suit our requirements—amazing when you consider the multitude of rechargeable devices in the world. So, we designed our own, exactly to our requirements. This first lamp used rechargeable NiCad batteries and had very basic, hand-assembled control electronics. The end result was the Magill cordless table lamp -the evolved version still in use today as a premier battery operated lamp.
Battery control electronics and assembly have been redesigned and refined several times over the years by our electronics engineers. In March 2000, each cordless lamp gained its own programmed microcontroller to charge, monitor and control a NiMH battery pack, as well as to provide lamp switching and dimming functions. The new modular design enabled us to add other functions such as security and remote control.
2010s' - New technologies
Whist I still believe halogen light bulbs remain unsurpassed at providing the most natural light of all currently available man made light sources—at an energy saving rate of 5 watts! Nonetheless, as the quality of LED bulbs has improved markedly over the past few years.
|The NEOZ® Cordless Lamp™ range was awarded its first Australian Design Award in 2001, another in 2004 (jointly with 2Design for the Aura illuminated seating system), and a third in 2006 when the judges said of the latest Neoz V4™ technology,
"Fabulous attention to detail, great feature set, beautifully implemented development. This is terrific product design."
The prestigious international Red Dot Design Award followed in 2008, citing
"...flexibility...suitable for commercial as well as domestic use...the base station serves as energy supplier as well as control unit for dimming and other effects...Extensive diffuser range for the basic luminaire...matches well with any environment...enables the user to create his own light composition...For the professional user in particular, the system also comprises trolleys (for charging up to 48 lamps at once with a single cable)."
The principal designers were myself, Jackie Chan, Gabriel Tam and Tammy Chiew along with head electronic engineer Trevor Grey of ILID. Special appreciation is extended to Jackie Chan who worked tirelessly on the V4 project for three years.
We hope that you, too, will enjoy NEOZ® Cordless Lamps™ and illuminated furniture.

Vote for Higher Fees Likely This Week
Higher inspection fees in La Crosse seem likely after a vote this week by the La Crosse city council. Higher fees for electrical, plumbing and HVAC inspections. Fees that won't be borne by contractors alone, says city council member Andrea Richmond
Richmond says she remains steadfastly opposed to higher fees to pay for inspections that the city's inspection department is already getting paid to do.

I'm trying to learn Java and Android development, and at the same time maybe try and earn a few $ doing so. One of the apps that I bought a while back was a debt tracking app that helped you keep track of your debt, with the option of using a snowball method to continue piling your individual payments on towards the next debt. This program was severely lacking in features though, and as a first app I wanted to try and tackle making a better mousetrap...or debt trap I suppose.
I'm not a financial expert, nor a finance major, so I'm not too keen on finance formulas, and methods, but I've seen excel workbooks that have macros to help show debtsnowball methods. Does anyone know if there is some kind of mathematical formula behind debt snowballs or avalanches that I can code for? even if it's a for loop or if/ else if block, I'm trying to understand how best to add this feature to the app, short of trying to disassemble the other one and see how it was done there..
So tell me...is there some sort of formula that can be applied to solve this? Or am I going to have to do it the hard way by tracking how many months are left for each debt, then applying remainder to next debt, etc...?

by William Shakespeare
directed by David Lawrence
The Bacchanals
at The Long Hall, Roseneath, Wellington
From 24 Jan 2013 to 2 Feb 2013
Reviewed by Michael Wray, 30 Jan 2013
Coriolanus is a Shakespeare not performed very often. Why? If this production by David Lawrence's Bacchanals is any indication, it's a hard-hitting tragedy that makes compelling viewing. Hell hath no fury like a Roman scorned!
When Coriolanus refuses to show the expected humility before the Tribunes for election to the office of Consul, they manipulate the common people into rejecting him. Thus chaos ensues and Coriolanus seeks revenge.
With themes of Roman vengeance and triumphant generals gone bad, it's not dissimilar to Titus Andronicus, albeit a lot less bloody. Not that it's bloodless - witness Alex Greig's bare and spectacularly blood-smeared torso looking every inch the warrior king.
Alex Greig is magnificent in the lead-role. He is powerful and intimidating, vulnerable when needed and "eyes to sweat compassion." Brianne Kerr's depiction of the Tribune Sicinius Velutus is just as excellent, while Michael Ness' Cominius, Salesi Le'ota's Menenius and Jean Sergent's Volumnia are also deserving of mention.
Joe Dekkers-Reihana could perhaps benefit from playing Aufidius with less anger so when his rage is unleashed he has another level to use, but as a whole the company are superb. The pace of the play is measured with nothing being rushed and the scenes flow together uninterrupted by changes thanks to a simple but effective set.
There are some nice touches in Bronwyne Cheyne's design: Menenius eating a bag of corn chips when dealing with the crowd complaining of all the corn being "for rich men only"; the use of Dueling Banjos (a la Deliverance) to set-up one of the scenes; and the Tribunes being played in the likeness of the 'American Gothic' painting.
The sound design is strong, providing a rich backdrop, particularly Jean Sergent's use of the cello, and the battle scenes are effectively choreographed. Thoroughly recommended.

Our goals are to:
In August 2003, a major power outage struck the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Investigators found that a root cause of the blackout was a tree that had come in contact with a transmission line.
As a result of that event, new national standards with substantial penalties for non-compliance were created governing vegetation management practices for lines that are considered part of the national transmission grid.
The standards mandate that minimum clearance distances between transmission lines and the nearest vegetation must be established by each utility. AEP has established policies to ensure that we are in compliance with the federal guidelines.
To conform to the standards and maintain the reliability of the transmission system, we've made it a policy to remove all trees and other woody-stemmed vegetation within the rights of way of power lines that are considered part of the national transmission grid if the distance from the conductors to the ground is less than 100 feet.
However, under certain circumstances (unique topographic and/or environmentally- sensitive conditions) AEP may allow compatible, low-growing species to remain in the right of way. In maintained areas (i.e. mowed yards, lawns and public areas), AEP will work with landowners to determine if trees and other vegetation deemed compatible with safe operation of the line may remain.
In all cases, compatible species are limited to those that grow no more than 15 feet tall at maturity. This policy limits the potential for vegetation to interfere with the operation of the line. In areas where the distance from wires to the ground is greater than 100 feet, only vegetation that will potentially interfere with the operation of the line is removed, trimmed, or otherwise controlled.
We continually strive to strike a balance between service reliability and respect for the natural landscape. We continue to invest time and resources into public education concerning proper tree care and sound environmental practices. AEP is an active participant in many organizations that support responsible vegetation management practices including: the National Arbor Day Foundation, the Utility Arborist Association, the International Society of Arboriculture, and various state and local vegetation management organizations.
While AEP goes to great lengths to collaborate with our neighbors, there are times when a landowner and the company may disagree on a specific issue. If that happens, we work diligently to resolve the problem and attempt to reach a mutually agreeable solution.

Brick Oven Insert?
I'm brand new, so please be kind. I love making pizza and artisan bread for my family. I use a pizza stone in my regular oven. Is there any way to get the "brick oven" or "wood fired" taste, using some sort of brick insert?
Re: Brick Oven Insert?
A wood oven is really just a giant pizza stone. It has the capacity for much higher temperature than a normal domestic oven. I have heard you can improve a normal oven by using a pizza stone both on the bottom and top and cranking it up to max temp. for quite a while. For improved performance use 15 mm kiln shelves, they are much thicker than a pizza stone Expensive to run.
Re: Brick Oven Insert?
About 4 years ago in CT, we were having a brutally cold winter, and I wasn't using my oven. I had just finished fabrication and installation of soapstone counters in my house, and I had some scraps that I used to cook pizza on. Well the stone stored heat very well, so much so that once all the opening and closing the oven door was done, the stored heat in the stone caused the safety lock on the oven to kick in...because temps were higher than 500*.
Stick with a regular pizza stone...build a wood fired oven if you want WFO taste!
Re: Brick Oven Insert?
Re: Brick Oven Insert?
I find that the technique that works best for me in the oven is to put the stone under the broiler for about 15 minutes with the convection on. I use a cordite (sp?) stone because it was given to me - but I read that 3/8" steel plate is supposed to be better than brick. I have a gas broiler and I can get the surface temp of the stone up to about 650. When I get ready to put the pizza in, I turn the oven to 500 and slide it in. I find I can get nice leopard spotting of the crust and a bit of char in ~5 mins. Not the same as the brick oven, but if I showed you a picture of the end product, you'd never guess it came out of a normal kitchen oven!

Many universities require that applicants submit a statement of purpose. To learn more about these, click here.
The following is a sample statement of purpose by a HKUST CSE student applying to study a PhD degree.
Statement of Purpose – [Name]
For many years, I have thought that algorithms and data structures are the
keys to studying computer science, so I have used a lot of effort to learn
algorithms and data structures. Having competed in various programming contests
in high school and in university, such as ACM-ICPC, I have gained some valuable
problem solving experience. This has aroused my interest in solving real world
problems and doing research. I believe my research experience in probabilistic
databases, my problem solving skills and my passion for research in databases
and theories have well prepared me for graduate study.
My interest in computer science grew out of my study of mathematics and programming languages. The rigorous and beautiful logic of mathematics and the power of computing inspired me to learn algorithms and data structures. Knowledge of these then enabled me to solve problems in various programming contests. In high school, I won first and second prizes in the National Olympiad of Informatics of China. In university, I joined the HKUST programming team and competed in several ACM-ICPC regional contests and managed to advance to the World Finals held in Banff, Canada in April 2008. These experiences made me glad that I had invested much time to learn problem solving and programming skills.
When I entered university, I found that the experience and skills I had gained from high school contests were quite useful. However, I was not satisfied to only learn the algorithms and solve the well modeled problems. What was more appealing was to find and model real world problems myself and then solve them by applying the techniques I had acquired. When I realized this, I decided that I should expose myself to the environment of research, apply for graduate school in computer science and be a computer scientist in the future.
Computer scientists focus on different subjects, such as vision and graphics, networking and artificial intelligence, to achieve the goal of solving problems with the power of computing. I am particularly interested in theory and databases. As a matter of fact, I have participated twice in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). The first time, in the summer of 2008, I worked on a building grouping sub-problem of a 3D-map visualization project under the supervision of Dr. Huamin Qu. It was my first exposure to research. This summer, I worked on the topic of "maintaining consistency in probabilistic databases over functional dependencies" under the supervision of Prof. Wilfred Ng. Probabilistic databases are currently a popular area of research. My model is a probabilistic relational model with attribute level uncertainty. Under my model, I have proposed two approaches to maintain consistency in a probabilistic database. One is a graph based method, and the other uses linear programming. I am still working on this topic and plan to submit a paper soon. As for my interest in theory, it was raised by my fondness of mathematics. Theories are fundamental and provide a basis for many other subjects.
Apart from these research experiences, I have also taken (or am taking) several graduate courses. In these courses, I have learned some advanced algorithmic techniques, as well as how to analyze data with computational tools. This has helped me improve my independent and critical thinking ability and prepare me for graduate study.
My next goal is to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science. If I am admitted to graduate school, then my first choices would be to further study algorithms, theory of computation or probabilistic databases, because I already have some exposure to these areas. Other areas like artificial intelligence and networking might be more challenging for me, so I am also open to working on these. In any case, I believe my research experience and problem solving abilities will enable me to contribute to the computer science community. My long term goal is to be a professor in computer science and pursue a career of teaching and research.
I hope to have the chance to study at ________ University, because ________ University has a good reputation and is strong in computer science. I am particularly interested in Professor ______'s research work on ________________.

'Grey's Anatomy': Why I'm okay with Cristina hooking up with an internAdd to Favorites | Grey's Anatomy
Unpopular opinion time: I'm okay with Cristina (Sandra Oh) hooking up with intern Shane (Gaius Charles) on "Grey's Anatomy."
Now before you start grabbing your pitchforks and flaming torches and beating down my proverbial door in the comments section, let me explain. I wasn't okay with "Crane" or whatever their shipping name is until Thursday (Dec. 5) night's all-new episode, "Man on the Moon." It seemed weird, and awkward, and pathetic, and not right at all before that. But after their little happy dance over their successful, groundbreaking surgery, and Cristina and Meredith's fight over Shane's attitude, Crane grew on me.
Since it seems like "Grey's Anatomy" is going to keep Cristina and Meredith apart for Oh's final season (still not okay with that decision), Cristina needs someone in her corner, and Shane is that person. He's pushing her to be the best surgeon she can be, and in turn, he's learning from her how to be the best surgeon he can be. Sure, he might be a little more aggressive now, but that led him to help make medical history. Sorry if he hurt your feelings Mere, but he's saving lives. That's what the doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial are trying to do.
Plus, we've only ever seen male attendings hooking up with female interns. It's kind of nice to see the gender roles reversed for once.
And Shane really is like a mini-Cristina. They work together, both professionally and personally. Sure, their relationship isn't going to be epic or romantic, but it works ... for now. It's drama-free, which is what they both need ... for now. So I'm okay with Crane ... for now.
Until, that is, Cristina and Meredith make up and things go back to normal. Get on that, Shonda Rhimes.
"Grey's Anatomy" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Could Liam Hemsworth and Nina Dobrev be Hollywood's next young power couple?
The Hunger Games actor, 24, and the Vampire Diaries actress, 25, were spotted bonding at Atlanta's Corner Tavern over the weekend, leading many to wonder if they're seeing each other romantically. "They were talking to each other mostly, but they didn't look flirtatious by any means," a source says. "On occasion, Liam put his arm around Nina's shoulder when he was talking to her at the bar."
Even in the dimly lit hangout, 6-foot-3 Hemsworth stood out. "A group of girls came up to take pictures with Liam," the source says, adding that the Paranoia star even bought a round of drinks for people.
VIDEO: Remember when Nina Dobrev dated Derek Hough?
An insider previously told E! News that "it didn't seem like a date" and "there was no PDA going on" when the actors were inside the bar.
NEWS: Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder joke about their breakup
But here's where the romance speculation come into play: When Hemsworth and Dobrev left the venue, the Australian actor got affectionate with the five-time Teen Choice Awards winner. "He had his hand wrapped around her waist, and she was looking up at him and they had a quick kiss," the source says. "Then she got in her car." The source notes that the kiss was "really quick"—more like a peck, really.
PHOTOS: Surprising celebrity couples
Hemsworth then rejoined his group of friends, and the guys headed home soon after.
Dobrev's rep had no comment on the Feb. 7 sighting. The actress previously dated her Vampire Diaries costar Ian Somerhalder, while Hemsworth ended his engagement to Miley Cyrus in September 2013.

Sony's location-free TV makes local shows portable

Sony zooms in with new TV techAugust 11, 2004
Sony, Samsung complete LCD plantJuly 15, 2004
Restructuring costs hurt Sony profitJanuary 28, 2004
On Oct. 15, the company began selling its LocationFree TV, a portable LCD television panel that uses Wi-Fi wireless technology to receive video content and access the Internet from a base station hooked up to a broadband connection.
Sony is selling a $1,500 12.1-inch set, the LF-X1, and a $1,100 7-inch model, the LF-X5. The company says the televisions' wireless range is 50 feet from the base station. The sets feature picture-in-picture capability and can connect to camcorders, a PlayStation 2 and other consumer devices.
The televisions can access the base stations remotely over a wired or wireless connection so that a traveler can reach his or her base station to watch local television shows even when far from home. The televisions can also access content from a device connected to the base station--letting them play whatever they left in the DVD player before going on the road, for instance.
LocationFree TV is part of a larger Sony effort to boost the fortunes of one of its more profitable product categories, televisions. The company also developed the new DRC-MFv2 or "Digital Reality Creation Multifunction" controller chip, which lets viewers zoom in, pan and tilt their perspective in television broadcasts.
Televisions have been a key part of the consumer electronics division, which is the largest contributor to the conglomerate's revenue. However, the company had been caught off-guard with the market's transition to flat-panel televisions and in general has been recovering from a stumble in its consumer electronics business.
Sony has been making significant headway with its Grand Wega line of rear-projection televisions and has made investments to make it more nimble in producing LCD-based televisions. Shipments of LCD televisions are up for Sony, but having to compete for the limited number of LCD panels has forced the company and other television makers to consider investing in the panel market.

Now what I would consider will be this:
-Completely new roster thread.
-Those who sign up should be moved into feuds.
-All talents should have a chance to show some character.
Also, and foremost, there needs to be a game plan to put out shows regularly. I specialize in match writing and segment structuring. The only thing that will hold me down if I am accepted on to the team is promo-laziness. If you do not give the writers a promo then there should be a new rule in place where you can sign something that allows us full custody of your character during your absence, and if you say 'no' then we should respect that. I am just thinking of ways to tackle the unfortunate delays in shows and I think going old school a bit writing-wise would be the shot in the ass that JBW desperately needs.
With that said, JBW should focus on new blood. Even though I feel in the minority about being loved in the efeds I really do like guys like Torphy, Eddie, Bear, YOU, etc-etc. I believe the last few times I came here flinging compliments everywhere it was mainly to the new guys along with guys like Jose and Malcolm Cage, Ano Doom, and so on. I think they are great talents and while I was taking a two year break from writing I had loads of story-line ideas. My fear is just that nobody will want to work with people in charge of JABE considering the track record as of late. Personally, I finished a show of my own that was JBW related last year and the only reason I did not post it was because I was missing 7 important promo's. The show looked pretty non-spectacular without them.
Edit: While I wrote a show last year, it was never posted. So I do not really consider that a writing come back. Just to fix the confusion my last paragraph might cause.

Dear Dr. Bill,
My husband and I have been married for 10 years, and we've come to a breaking point over his family. He's still very much "attached" to his parents and will do anything to not "rock the boat" or upset them. As a result, his mother and sister have no regard for my feelings and mistreat me constantly. My husband doesn't correct them and carries on as if nothing is wrong. I've almost given up hope for our marriage. Despite the fact that we need professional counseling, my husband is too proud to consider it. What should I do?
Dear Susan,
God provides us with a model for successful marriage relationships in the Bible. In Genesis 2 He tells us that a man shall leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife. Jesus repeats that command in the book of Matthew.
The word "cleave" means to be united as one flesh and to establish a new family unit, separate from the family of origin. In order for a marriage to be successful, that new family unit needs to take priority over the husband's family and the wife's family.
You mention that your husband is too proud to see a therapist. If that's the case, I suggest that you inform him that you have decided to see a counselor with or without him. Find a good Christian therapist who has experience with marital issues and make an appointment.
Tell your husband that you're hoping he will attend with you, but that if he doesn't you'll be going on your own. If you stick with it, eventually he may be willing to accompany you.
Even if your husband refuses to go to counseling, your therapist can teach you ways to develop the emotional strength to stand up to your husband and his critical family. This won't be easy, but you'll have a caring ally who will guide you through the process of developing healthy boundaries that will improve your life and the life of your children.
Thanks for writing Susan. If you have a question for me about family issues or Christian living, click the "Questions" link on the Culture Connection page.

Hugh's most recent trip to India
Click here to view more work by Hugh
Hugh Ribbans,
trained at Canterbury
College of Art as a graphic artist
and now runs a graphic design
business. Relief printmaking was
the practical subject on the National Diploma course and in 1989 he
purchased a restored Columbian press, circa 1830.
He spends as much time as his graphic work allows on producing linocuts
woodcuts using heavily grained wood and driftwood. Some
are multi colour block prints with each colour registered to
print with the next block, others are hand coloured using acrylic and
watercolour inks.
Animals and birds feature in much of his work together with
images inspired by his travels to India and the Far East. The Influences
of ethnic, Egyptian and aboriginal art are to be found in many of the
images together with a style based on pattern and in particular a
fascination with line. Often when
clearing away a background on a block it becomes impossible
not to turn the clearing process into an opportunity for line decoration
and pattern.

Program : Bachelor of Arts
Area of Study : Educational Administration
Graduation Year : 1974
MBA Finance and Accounting, San Diego State University, 1978
Since graduating from Prescott College I've been a farmer, a business owner, a Big 5 public accounting senior principal (9 years), an independent consultant serving as interim-CFO for venture capital backed high technology and bio-medical companies; served as a board member and teacher at the Boojum Institute; spent 20 months traveling the world, primarily Southeast Asia and India; and have been a lesbian rights activist, a non-profit change agent, a mother, a spouse and a friend.
My Prescott College education contributed toward my accomplishments because it allowed me to not be afraid to "dive in," convinced me that the process was more important than the outcome and taught me to take the first step.
Advice to students: Just do it. Observe the world and those who've come before, but don't be constricted by your observations. Know that one voice makes a difference.

Vangie & Marco, San Leandro, CA
We purchases the HTZ-BD30 Blu-ray Home Theater System after shopping around for a few months. It's a great find if you are looking to buy a simple system. It was easy to set up and the sound is good. Wathed AVATAR and it was really like we were at the Movies watching it all over again. The price and Quality were so good we purchased another HTZ-BD30 Blu-ray Home Theater System so now we have 2!

The HTZ-BD30 is perfect for my use. The system has very easy connections and the sound is awesome for my family room. A great system for watching movies or listening to music. A powerful, powerful sound for such a compact, inexpensive system.
Nick, Los Angeles, CA
These speakers are very good for the price and is pretty easy to install. I think what makes it unique from others is that its a receiver and a blu ray player. Less clutter more stylish. I recommend this product to people with small rooms and low budgets.
Noah, Hawaii
i have had it long enough now to right a review and ill start with the things i dont like about it 1 if u r looking for crisp clean highs then this isnt really for u it still is good im not saying its bad it just isnt for everyone 2 it isnt scratch resistent they get scratched really fast if u dont put the sliding resistent pads on 3 they r finger print crazy if it annoys u thats a warning 4 the stereo doesnt come with a equalizer i like my equalizers in my stereos some people dont really care for the equalizers some do u only can control how loud and that is the only thing besides those it is good. Ok the things that i like is they come with long cables the surround cables r 35 ft but the front cables r 2 short wish it was longer 2 the bass is there so bass lovers will like it for there music, t.v., movies and those things 3 i was surprised it came with a ipod dock it probably said ipod dock in the description not sure 4 it is organized well on the system 5 it is stylish and the speakers r really small so u dont really need to find that much space for the speakers in all i cant recommend it to every one if u r a bass lover get it if u r more of a less bass person u can still get it and put the sub vol down in all it is a awesome sound system if u r planing to listen to the radio like hip hop rap or r & b that kind then this is good for u if u like more rock u should look into getting a LG they r going to suit rock and that kind more but this pioneer is bass heavy it says the sub is slim enough to fit under a sofa i dont think that is true unless under neath is high up my estimate on how fat the sub is about half a foot and that is slim for subs though

The series, which contains a greeting by Eastern President Elsa Núñez, was researched, written and produced by Dwight Bachman, public relations officer at Eastern. The series will air all day on Jan. 18, the national celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, on Channel 22, Eastern's cable channel. It will air on even hours all day beginning at and ending 24 hours later on Jan. 19.
The series, which Eastern Professor of Theatre Ellen Brodie described as "an on-going beacon lighting the memory of Dr. King and a loving gift to future generations," begins with a look at the forces that brought this humble Baptist preacher out of his pulpit and pushed him into the forefront of the civil rights movement. From there, it moves on to the role King played in desegregating the transit system of
"Much emphasis is put on Dr. King's tactic of nonviolent civil disobedience, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Peace," said Bachman. "We often forget King's goals of fairness for everyone, and an end to segregation, injustice, racism and discrimination. King did not die for non-violence; he died fighting for fair pay and economic justice - for
The series originally aired in 1983 on the Stamford, CT-based Satellite News Channel (SNC), where Bachman was a news producer at the time. Jose Grinan, SNC anchorman, narrates the series.

How Filing Your Own Taxes Will Boost Your Finances
by U.S. News Mar 20th 2015 6:00AM
Learning about the tax code will help you maximize the value of your investments. Your future self will thank you.
Learning about the tax code will help you maximize the value of your investments. Your future self will thank you.
If you have your heart set on buying a home in one of the nation's most desirable big cities, you may to resign yourself to being a renter. Maybe forever.
Saving a down payment can be a huge obstacle to homeownership. An innovative program in New Mexico is helping homebuyers and keeping default rates low.
For now, mortgage rates remain consumer-friendly, and that's good news for homebuyers who - despite the economy - are always looking for ways to save.
Praying for a windfall isn't the only way to get rid of a mortgage. You can painlessly pay off your biggest debt faster than you think.
Rumors are flying that the federal government could shutter Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - and that could change the consumer mortgage landscape dramatically.
The number of Americans signing contracts to buy homes rose strongly in January, a sign that home sales are poised to accelerate after a slow start.
U.S. home sales hit a snow drift in January, plunging to the slowest pace in nine months, hitting their lowest level since last April.
Single-family home price appreciation slowed further in November as lean inventories and tight lending standards limited housing activities.
More Americans purchased homes in December, yet total sales slipped in 2014 as first-time buyers struggled to find houses.
Average long-term mortgage rates fell for the fourth straight week, with the benchmark 30-year rate again marking its lowest level since May 2013.
The crisis isn't over yet: after 27 consecutive months of decreases, U.S. foreclosure starts in December increased -- and very dramatically in some states.
The Supreme Court rules in favor of homeowners seeking to back out of mortgages when lenders are accused of not following a federal truth in lending law.
Too many homebuyers don't shop around for their mortgage. A federal agency wants to change that stance -- and save them money.
Average U.S. mortgage rates started the year by falling to new lows, with the benchmark 30-year rate marking its lowest level since May 2013.
U.S. home values rose at a measured pace in November, a sign that demand remains weak as many buyers have been priced out of the market.
New measures from government-sponsored mortgage-lending enterprises could open the door to the same excesses that brought on the financial crisis.
Construction of new homes fell slightly in November, reflecting weakness in construction of single-family homes.
A new study shows that nearly a fifth of Americans who are already in debt don't expect to resolve it all before they die, regardless of how much they make.
To buy a house, you have to be financially, emotionally and mentally prepared -- or risk becoming one of the one in four homeowners with buyer's remorse.
Don't let the new year begin before you make these key decisions on taxes, retirement accounts, flexible spending accounts and your 2015 plan.
U.S. home prices rose at a faster year-over-year pace in October than in September, snapping a seven-month slowdown.
If you are nearing retirement or already retired, how do you pay down debt? Here are eight ways baby boomers can get some relief.
More Americans are tapping their home equity again, Freddie Mac finds, but the amount they're taking is still modest -- for now.
Average U.S. long-term mortgage rates edged lower this week, approaching their lows for the year. The benchmark 30-year loan rate hovered near 4 percent.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages fell last week as interest rates rose, the Mortgage Bankers Association reports.
Mortgage giant Fannie Mae earned $3.9 billion in the third quarter. That's a big drop from a year ago, but a gain over its second quarter results.
Average long-term mortgage rates rose this week, with the benchmark 30-year loan crawling back over 4 percent, for the second straight week of increases.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac say they will pay U.S. taxpayers $6.8 billion after reporting a third-quarter profits that modestly rose from the second quarter.
How much do you pay in interest for all that stuff over your lifetime? A cool new tool offers estimates and shows how better credit scores help lower costs.
Average long-term mortgage rates arrested their five-week decline this week but the benchmark 30-year loan remained below 4 percent, Freddie Mac says.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages fell last week as both purchases and refinancing slipped, the Mortgage Bankers Association says.

What is best enduro motorcycle for a big man?
I'm 6'6" and 270 lbs, looking to buy an enduro motorcycle that will fit my frame. Any suggestions?
4 Responses to "What is best enduro motorcycle for a big man?"
I would say that KTM makes the best enduro bikes, I race one in enduros and at any given starting line they are 80% of the bikes out there.
for a larger frame, a 300 xc-w if you're into two strokes or a 450 if you're into four strokes seems to work well. My dad is 6'2 (not quite as tall) and has been pretty happy on his 300.
also, if a bike feels too short, you can get bar risers that really help open up the riding position and make it more comfortable for taller riders
I think you'd be pretty happy with a Honda xr400
Do you want to ride on road? honda 650.
Do you want to ride trails? xr400/crf450X. Motocross? crf450r.
Yamaha makes comparable models also.
Go sit on them at a dealership and see what is comfortable. You will have to put in new springs for your specific weight. I did that to my bikes myself but the dealer can throw them on when you buy it pretty quick.
Kawasaki KLR 650 is another.
Go to some shops and sit on the bikes to see what fits.

Maputo — The Mozambican police have arrested a Tanzanian citizen in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, in possession of more than a million US dollars in cash, according to a report in Friday's issue of the Maputo daily "Noticias".
The man, named only as Victor, was arrested on 8 December. He said the money came from the illegal sale of rubies to a group of Thai citizens a week earlier in the district of Montepuez.
The police have now contacted Interpol to assist in the investigations into the smuggling of rubies.
There is only one company, Montepuez Ruby Mining, which is authorised to mine rubies in the district. This is a joint venture between the Mozambican company Mwiriti and the British Gemfields.
Mwiriti acquired two mining concessions in Montepuez, covering an area of about 32,000 hectares in November 2011. The following month it sought authorisation from the Minisry of Mineral Resources to transfer the title to these concessions to the joint venture with Gemfields.
One of the managing partners of the company, Asghar Fakhr, told "Noticias" that, up to 11 December, when the company heard the news of the arrest of the Tanzanian, it had not sold as mush as a gram of its production. Instead, Montepuez Ruby Mining was still at the phase of testing its concession areas.
He lamented that foreign gem smugglers were still infesting Montepuez, carrying large sums of money to purchase rubies illegally.
The Montepuez ruby deposits have attracted not only the buyers from Thailand, but also illegal miners from Tanzania and the Great Lakes region, as well as from Mozambique itself.
Often the miners have no idea of the true value of the gems. In one case, reported in late 2010, a Mozambican sold 2.7 grams of rubies for 60,000 meticais (about 2,000 dollars). But on the Asian markets, good quality rubies sell for two or three thousand dollars a carat.
One carat is 200 milligrams, and so a gram is five carats. 2.7 grams of good quality rubies would therefore sell for at least 27,000 dollars. And that is the cheap end of the market. Depending on factors such as colour, and finishing, the price of cut rubies can soar to as much as 25,000 dollars a carat.

NEW YORK (AP) — Yahoo Inc. has named Scott Thompson, president of eBay Inc.'s PayPal division, as its new CEO.
The struggling Internet company, which announced its choice Wednesday, has been without a permanent CEO since early September. It fired Carol Bartz after losing patience with her attempts to turn around the company during her 2 ½ years on the job. Tim Morse, Yahoo's chief financial officer, has been interim CEO since Bartz's ouster.
Thompson has served as president of PayPal, eBay's online payment service, since January 2008. He previously served as PayPal's senior vice president and chief technology officer.
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo said Thompson's new job starts on Jan. 9. Morse will return to his CFO post.
Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock said Thompson's track record of building on existing resources "to reignite innovation and drive growth" is "precisely the formula we need at Yahoo."

Electricity supplied from renewable energy sources, such as solar, geothermal, wind, and various forms of biomass, help to reduce CO2 emissions as well as help lower demand on EREC's power distribution system. These energy sources are considered renewable energy because their fuel sources are continuously replenished.
EREC supports the use of member-owned renewable generation for facilities of 10 kW or less. EREC members wishing to interconnect "member-owned renewable generation" to EREC's electric distribution system are required to complete a Standard Interconnection Agreement and are subject to EREC's Net Metering Rider. Upon facility approval, EREC will install a digital net meter to record kWh usage and generation.
For more information, please call (850) 675-4521.
Solar is the Latin word for sun—a powerful source of energy that can be used to heat, cool, and light our homes and businesses. That's because more energy from the sun falls on the earth in one hour than is used by everyone in the world in one year. A variety of technologies convert sunlight to usable energy for buildings. The most commonly used solar technologies for homes and businesses are solar water heating, passive solar design for space heating and cooling, and solar photovoltaics for electricity. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most commonly used "member-owned" renewable generation source on EREC's power distribution system.
This image comes from a study the Florida Solar Energy Center conducted on the performance of 2-kw photovoltaic systems installed on highly efficient homes across the country. The results capture all aspects of PV system performance, including the temperature effect on cell performance as well as the efficiency of the conversion from DC to AC power through the inverter.
State: CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO FUNDING AVAILABLE. Solar energy system rebates are issued by the Commission pursuant to Sections 377-801-377.806, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 27N-1, Florida Administrative Code, contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature of the State of Florida for the specific purpose of funding solar rebates.
Federal: 30% of cost, with no upper limit. Expires December 31, 2016. Available to existing principal homes & new construction. Second homes qualify for partial credit. Rentals do not qualify.

Time to Talk TurkeyBy Cyndie Sirekis
This year's election cycle turned a bit ugly near the end, with vitriolic voters calling each other's candidates turkeys of one kind or another. Defined as such, a turkey can be a person or thing of little appeal...a dud or a loser.
Farmers and home cooks alike greatly prefer the culinary definition of turkey, a large bird used for food.
Turkey consumption has more than doubled since 1970 and is now at 16.1 pounds per person per year, according to the National Turkey Federation. Consumers are gobbling up turkey because they like the taste and nutritional value.
The time of year when people eat turkey has also changed over the years. In 1970, 50 percent of all turkey consumed was eaten during the holidays. Today that number is around 31 percent. Clearly, more people than ever before enjoy eating turkey year-round.
The cost of a Thanksgiving feast, with turkey on the center of the table, is different now as well.
When the American Farm Bureau Federation first began tracking the retail cost for turkey and all the trimmings for 10 (in 1986) the average was $28.74.
Fast forward to today and we'll drop $49 and some change, on average, for food items for a classic Thanksgiving dinner – $49.48 to be exact, according to Farm Bureau's national survey of retail prices.
But when you adjust for inflation, we'll pay less, on average, for the same items today compared to 27 years ago. That's a really good deal.
Traditions such as the feast centered around turkey are an important part of celebrating Thanksgiving for most Americans, whether they live in a rural area, on a farm or ranch, in the city or suburbs, or anywhere in between.
Playing football, hunting or watching the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade also rank high on the list of favored Thanksgiving traditions. Visiting a farm or ranch around Thanksgiving…maybe not so much, although AFBF President Bob Stallman would like to see that change.
"During this holiday season, I am encouraging farmers and ranchers to talk in-person or through social media to consumers about the food that they grow," Stallman said recently when the results of AFBF's annual Thanksgiving Dinner cost survey were announced.
Today's Agriculture, the Faces and Places of Your Food, Fiber and Fuel, is a good place to start online if you're looking to connect with a farmer through social media. Here you can explore and subscribe to blogs written by real farmers and ranchers (Blogs Fresh From the Farm), watch entertaining and informative short videos (Meet Your Farmers and Ranchers), pick up food and farm tidbits (Learn the Facts) and much more. Visit http://www.fb.org/todaysag and see for yourself.
If connecting with farmers in person in your local community sounds appealing, check out the Agriculture Department's National Farmers Market Directory. Serving as the official count of the nation's farmers' markets, this resource is a treasure trove of information for anyone interested in local food production and regional food systems. Learn more at http://search.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarkets/.
Whether you choose to connect with a farmer a stone's throw away from your backyard or one thousands of miles away via social media, Thanksgiving is an ideal time to reflect on and be thankful for the food diverse selection we enjoy in America.

You know those hot summer days when you've finished a nutritious meal, and you and your significant other(s) are hanging out on the porch swing? And you're wanting something with just a little sweetness..that's what these delectable ices are good for.
Hassle free.
No blowing your myfitnesspal.com daily calorie level out of the water.
Tasty, and just a bit stylish really. Ooh, lala. I think the French say that.
- 2 cups real-deal non-concentrate 100% organic pineapple juice
- 1 1/2 Tbsp freshly squeezed juice from your prettiest lemon (life's too short for it not to be pretty)
- 1/4 c local honey (Also, not from a shiny bear. Am I a little bossy today?)
- 1/4 c fresh sliced pineapple
Pour juices and honey into a medium size clean bowl. Whisk together and pour into a freezable container (I used a tall Tupperware). Freeze overnight. When ready to serve, scrape it into a frosted glass. Top with fresh mint & pineapple slices.
I also happily created a tart cherry granita:
- 2 c 110% organic tart cherry juice **Athletes! *Serious Exercisers! Listen up to what fellow sports RD, Marcia has to say about tart cherry juice!!
- 1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice (another pretty one, please)
- 1/4 c organic agave nectar
- 12 organic fresh cherries (12 fresh cherries=1 fruit serving, by the way)
Pour juices and nectar into a medium size clean bowl. Whisk together and pour into a freezable container. Freeze overnight or at least for 2-3 hours. You want a flaky ice texture. When ready to serve, scrape it into a frosted glass. *If toooo frozen, microwave for 30-45 seconds, then serve. I added thyme and lime to mine. It was sublime.
Tell your friends and family it's just something you whipped together. They'll be impressed.
All you need is a 1/2 cup serving for each person. Freeze the rest for up to 3 days.
Inspired by Gwyneth. I made her pomegranate version in the Spring.

genetic code
We have 64 codons from genetic code, but I don't know how to answer these two questions:
1. How many cases in the genetic code would you fail to know the amino acid specified by a codon if you knew only the first two nucleotides of the codon?
2. How many cases would you fail to know the first two nucleotides of the codon if you knew which amino acid is specified by it?
Please help me on these two questions.
Re: genetic code
Enter the sentence "This table shows the 64 codons and the amino acid each codon codes for." into Google with the quotation marks, and click on the first link.
This site lists the codons, amino acids, and letter codes. The point of the exercise is to find in which cases 1) the same first two letters of the code refers to different acids and 2) the same amino acid is referred to by two or more first-two-letter codes.
You should be able to figure that out fairly easily, although a sheet of paper might help.
