It is well known, that the important part of perception is perception of forms, sizes and symmetry. Harmonious correlation of sizes and forms is used practically everywhere in arts, design and technology. Golden section allows producing beautiful pieces, using simple rules, and is accessible for every designer. However, simplicity in achievement of harmony requires calculations and a straight eye.
Atrise Golden Section is a program, which allows avoiding the routine operations, calculator compilations, planning of grouping and forms. You can see and change the harmonious forms and sizes, while being directly in the process of working on your project. Designing has never been that simple. The precision is also available to you. The program offers easy methods of achieving sizes with accuracy to a nearest pixel.
The program uses a principle of building a grid of vertical and horizontal lines, with snap to your design. The resulting grid can be easily applied to design created in any computer program.
The Main Window with the grid is always located on top of other system windows. The grid can be easily moved and reformatted into the required size or form. But this is not the main point. The main point is that, being applied to you design, the grid is absolutely transparent for the mouse cursor. You can work with you design, as if the grid has been glued to your monitor. Meanwhile, you can make it semi-transparent or barely visible. Computer technologies let you achieve incredible flexibility and usability.
Many designers, using Atrise Golden Section ask themselves, *This is indeed so simple! How come we were not aware of this program before?* Now they are creating beauty and perfection. We will be very glad if you join them and use our program to fill the universe with refinement, beauty and harmony.

The Socialist Left Party is listed under the 6- month option as well as under the 1-year option. Are there two such parties or is it perhaps a mistake?
Tunisia's Constituent Assembly: How Long Will it Last?
By Eymen Gamha | Oct 10 2011assembly ,constituent ,duration ,list ,Moncef ,
The Tunisian citizens are going to vote on October 23rd for the candidates who are going to be members of the future Constituent Assembly. This authority will appoint a president and a new government until presidential and parliamentary elections are going to take place. It will also be charged with writing a new constitution.
But how long will the Assembly last?
The political parties have different opinions regarding the duration of the Constituent Assembly. There are currently three positions:
Six-months option
49 parties, in addition to several national organizations and hundreds of prominent figures like Sheikh Abdelfattah Mourou and the lawyer Sadok Belaid created a republican alliance. The alliance called for limiting the duration of the Constituent Assembly's mission to six months. This is to be achieved via a referendum on the same day as the elections, October 23rd.
One-year option
The PDP and the Socialist Left Party (PSG) originally supported the six months option but then left the group and signed an agreement with ten other political parties belonging to the High Authority for the Achievement of the Revolutionary Objectives (HAARO) to establish a transitional process and limit the mandate of the Constitutional Assembly to one year.
The eleven parties to sign the Declaration of the Transitional Process are the following:
- Ettakatol Party
- Ettajdid Movement
- Democratic and Socialist Movement
- Democratic and Nationalistic Movement
- Reform and Development Movement
- Green Tunisia Party
- Progressive Democratic Party
- Ennahda Movement
- Democratic Labour Party
- Attaliaa Arabic Party
- Socialist Left Party
Three independent candidates " Sadok Belaid, head of Kafaa (ar. Capacity) in Ben Arous, Jawher Ben Mbarek, head of Doustourna (ar. Our Constitution) in Tunis 2 and Souhir Fourati, head of Doustourna in Sfax " proposed December 2012 as a date for the referendum after it has been drafted by the members of the Assembly. If the referendum passes, the next presidential elections will take place on January 14th, 2013.
These two short-term visions of the Constituent Assembly show that Tunisia cannot support another transitional period, and that the presidential and parliamentary elections should take place soon so that the government could gain its credibility again and trouble would end.
Three-years option:
The Congress for the Republic (CPR) was the only political party belonging to HAARO that refused the agreement that the eleven other parties signed, asking for a three years Constituent Assembly. According to the CPR, the Constituent Assembly should take its time when writing the constitution since this is going to determine the future of Tunisia for the next centuries.
The head of the CPR, Moncef Marzouki, thinks that Tunisia needs a government of national unity or a constituent government that will manage the country for a three years period " the same length of the Tunisian Constituent Assembly of 1956.
The Constituent Assembly was a demand of the Tunisians who took part in the Kasbah 2 sit-in on February 2011, but its duration has not been determined, yet. The 217 elected members of the Constituent Assembly will debate about the issue and vote for a final decision.

Ancient rivers, their remains now lying beneath the Sahara desert, once formed green corridors at the surface which our ancestors followed on their great trek out of Africa.
A climate model has given us an image of what the landscape would have looked like around 100,000 years ago, suggesting that early humans went west out of sub-Saharan Africa and followed a vast and fertile river system to the Mediterranean.
For decades, there has been speculation that three now-dry North African rivers once served as green pathways for our early ancestors. The waterways would have supported lush flora and fauna to supply early humans with food as they trekked across the continent to the Mediterranean and on to Eurasia.
"But no one has been able to work out how much water was in these rivers, when and where exactly they flowed, and how far they reached across the desert," says hydrologist Tom Coulthard of the University of Hull, UK.
Coulthard and his colleagues modelled the climate of the last interglacial period to see how the monsoon rains would have run down the trans-Saharan mountains' north face and flowed across the landscape. Even after accounting for ground absorption and evaporation, the model indicated that there was enough water to have carved green corridors through the desert.
The most promising of the three reconstructed rivers, says Coulthard's colleague Michael Rogerson, is the Irharhar, which flowed 800 kilometres due north to humid regions along the Algeria-Tunisia border.
Route to the coast
Intriguingly, it is the westernmost of the three systems, yet we know that humans eventually walked east out of Africa. Rogerson suggests that after reaching the end of the Irharhar, early humans may have taken advantage of marine resources and walked eastward along the North African coast, traversing the Nile delta before migrating into the Middle East.
"As they walked down the river, early humans would have had resources they could use immediately at the Irharhar's far end," he says. Any humans who followed the other two rivers would have been left stranded in inhospitable surroundings. "The other two rivers deliver you to the central parts of Libya, which we think were quite arid then."
Archaeological evidence is more concentrated to the west, says Rogerson, tallying with the idea that most humans would have followed the Irharhar. Classic stone tools like spearheads have been found in the surrounding area, raising the possibility that early humans settled along the river's banks.
Elena Garcea, an archaeologist at the University of Cassino, in Italy, who was not part of the study, told New Scientist she thought the model offered a new and clever way of distinguishing between existing theories of how our ancestors spread across the African continent and eventually migrated beyond.

You should get a sample route instructions for one of the TSD stages from previous years. Then lay out a route and carefully make a route chart with similar information as your sample. Then go out and ride it attempting to keep the exact pace according to your chart.
Every route instruction will have a distance from start and an assigned speed. The speed will change every few instructions for whatever reason. Your job it to pass every instruction on the exact second you should be there according to your assigned speed and the distance traveled to the instruction. It's all math unless you have a computer to do the math for you.
I just received my Checkmate Enduro computer from ICO Racing today ($299). I will be making local TSD sections all summer and learning how to program the distances and speed of each route instruction into my computer. Then I'll ride them to see if I am programming correctly. If I am, my instrument will constantly tell me if I'm early or late. That allows me to adjust my pace according to the computer display.
The guys that win this thing practice routes and programming all summer advance of the event. They have it dialed when they show up. Both bikes in 2006 were top five overall including the cars with navigators
. In 2010 my riding partner was teamed up with a top car crew. The car guys trained my buddy in their time keeping system for weeks in advance in the Arizona desert. After the first day, I knew my buddy had a chance to win. I was shocked! It's all about timekeeping. The navigation isn't that tough after you get used to it on the first day.
Not saying these guys didn't have time keeping snafus and maybe a nav error or two, but they were well ahead of the pack from the first stage.
BTW, you talked me into riding my 690R afterall. I'll mount my nav gear on a Touratech crossbar this weekend and start trying to understand the programming.
The Mexican 1000 is a true race. Very long timed sections and the quickest through wins. The speeds are very high. The navigation fairly straight forward. You can use a roadbook or a GPS. Most seem to like the roadbook best because it shows the hazards coming up.
My son raced it last year on a new KTM 350. They were 4th overall motorcycle and 1st in class with one broken wrist and one run out of gas. He is going back this year to race it solo. I'll drive the chase truck. His co-rider is coming back aboard a new 500. Seems they need about 10mph more to compete for the overall win. The 350 was only good for 96mph on the playa.
... The Alcan 5000 is not that kind of event at all.
Crap you guys are going to make me break out my old check mate, I'm sure it needs a battery, I haven't used it much since most of the Enduro's went to the qualifier format and I'm not sure I remember were I put. I sign up for this ride because I thought it would be a cheap way to see Alaska and I can see now were gonna have to go racing

Seattle, Wash. (PRWEB) December 04, 2012
The hustle and bustle of the holiday season has arrived, and during this time many people can become caught up in overloaded schedules, party planning, hosting relatives, and travel plans. It can be easy to overlook your furry friends that lie, head on paws, observing the chaos in relative silence. As your attention is focused on family activities, your pets can inadvertently be put at risk, says Dr. Kerri Marshall, Chief Veterinary Officer at Trupanion, a leading provider of pet insurance in North America.
Dr. Marshall says that it is important during the holidays to pause and think of the unique needs of your pets. While other family members understand the chaos around them and can plan accordingly, our pets experience stress and anxiety with the unexpected break in their routine and can react in ways that are potentially harmful.
Below are some useful tips for additional preparation and awareness during holiday events and activities.
Holiday Parties
For many people, the holidays bring a chance to gather with family and friends to celebrate the season and toast a new year. Big holiday meals, festive décor, and a houseful of visitors that don't understand the behaviors and needs of pets can create many potentially unsafe situations for pets. Dr. Marshall offers the following simple tips to help pet owners keep their pets safe.
Christmas Tree and Gifts
A large tree suddenly showing up in the living room will seem odd to your pets. They may want to climb it, chew on it, knock it over (potentially on top of them or breaking ornaments leaving glass shards to step on), or urinate on it (trees are commonly used for scent marking). Come up with creative ways to ensure your pets' safety by putting your tree behind pet gates or up on a tabletop if your tree is small enough.
If you set wrapped presents underneath the tree, these should be monitored as well. Pets are curious and often play with the gift wrapping ribbons. The accidental ingestion of ribbon can cause bunching in a pet's intestines. Dr. Marshall gives the example of Gordon, a 5-month-old cat who ingested some ribbon and needed $2,800 worth of veterinary care. Gift wrapping supplies should be stored once gifts are wrapped and cleaned up immediate after they are opened.
Traveling by Car
Today, many families choose to take their pets with them on holiday trips. Often, that means a long road trip that breaks up a pet's routine and adds many unfamiliar activities and potentially dangerous situations at road stops. Preparation and alertness when traveling with pets are key to ensure an enjoyable trip for all, says Dr. Marshall, who offers the following tips:
Traveling by Plane
Occasionally, families will need to ship their pets by plane to their holiday destination or to family members who will care for them while the family is away. Ideally, your pet would travel in a carrier with you in the cabin, however, some pets are too large for the size carrier required, so must travel in the cargo area. There are some important considerations when shipping or traveling by air with your pet, says Dr. Marshall.
Pet Sitters
While holiday travels often involve pets, there are still many pets that are left home with pet sitters while their families are away. Even with the most trusted pet sitter, it can be hard for many pet owners to leave their pets with another caretaker. What if the pet becomes sick or injured? Advanced preparation will ensure your pet is well-cared for while you are away.
"Pet insurance is really the best way to make sure there is never any barrier to your pet receiving the best care and is especially important during the holidays when the chance of accidents happening is higher," says Dr. Marshall.
Those who take care of your pets often don't know what you want them to do in case your pet becomes ill or injured. If you have your pet insured, there will be no hesitation or time wasted trying to get ahold of you in case you are away from the phone.
"The plan becomes 'treat now, call later' as opposed to 'get permission, then treat'", says Dr. Marshall. "Any many times unnecessary delays in treatments can change the outcome for the pet."

All the sugar was needed
I enjoyed it... once I added two spoons of sugar. It was really tasty. I could taste the dark chocolate AND the hazelnut! A satisfying cup, indeed.

rich creamy flavor
This tea has a rich creamy flavor that is perfect for a cold rainy day.
4/14/13 | Sydney, San Anselmo, CA
Not my favorite
This is one of the blander pyramid teas bags. I tolerate it when it's part of a collection, but would rather have a different flavor.
3/6/13 | ALANNA , Chicago, IL
My favorite!
So, so good! Definitely my favorite. You won't be disappointed.
3/9/12 | Amber, Atlanta, GA
It's ok
This tea does not taste like dark chocolate or hazelnut at all. It isn't a bad tea, I was just expecting something different.
1/22/12 | Katie , Kissimmee, FL
YUM YUM Hazelnut Goodness!
I got this tea in my Warming Joy Holiday Collection and it is DELICIOUS! I ran out of milk so I used Hazelnut Creamer and it just brought out so much more flavor. My new holiday favorite to sip while I enjoy this winter weather. A must try!
11/28/11 | Bridget, Havasu Lake, CA
Love it!
My daughter, who knows I love tea, bought a box for me to drink when I stay with her. Now I am buying some to have at my own home. It is delicious!
7/16/11 | Ann, Fairhope, AL
a new favorite!
Definitely a new favorite for me - possibly even surpassing the perfect Black Currant! I tried this one right away and was not disappointed. I tend to like a sweeter tea or a more traditional tea (i.e. the Tea Forte English Breakfast), and am not so much into the Green and White teas, so this new flavor is ideal for me. The hazelnut is mild in case you are not a fan, and the chocolate overtones are heavenly. Must....go...order....more....!
6/6/10 | sarah, near pittsburgh, PA
Dessert in a cup!
I love the dolce vita teas and I'm so happy that Tea Forte added another delicious dessert-like tea. It has all the flavor of a sweet treat without the guilty calories. Totally addicted.
5/26/10 | Katie, Presque Isle, ME
Delicious new favorite
I love the aroma, the flavor... how can you beat chocolate, coconut and hazelnut. I don't need to add a lot to the cup - but it would last longer if I didn't drink it every day!

Cameroon Travel Guide
While referring to Cameroon as 'Africa in miniature' has become a bit of a cliché, this statement certainly rings true: everything you would expect from the African continent seems to be consolidated in this diverse slice of land. The south boasts tropical rainforests and deserted golden beaches; the northern parts are awash with great expanses of desert, lakes and savannah; volcanic mountains dominate the southwest and northwest, and game-viewing areas scattered throughout the country offer ample opportunity to observe impressive wildlife, including elephants and lions.
Poverty blights much of Cameroon's infrastructure, meaning transport and accommodation are underdeveloped. Outstanding border disputes with Cameroon's powerful neighbour Nigeria (linked in part with control of the oil-rich Niger delta) mean relations are somewhat awkward. While a key dispute, involving the Bakassi Peninsula, has been officially resolved, the border region is still considered unsafe. The areas bordering Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR) are also unstable.
Aside from certain no-go areas, Cameroon offers a wealth of activities and beautiful destinations to keep the adventurous traveller enthralled. From its verdant rainforests to its powerful creatures, this country is bursting with life; go, before it becomes 'discovered'.

Wolves Tuesday: Rubio simply 'a great player'
DEC 11, 2012 1:24p ET
And for a week, the Timberwolves have been waxing poetic, with so few new details and so much praise. On Tuesday, Andrei Kirilenko put it perfectly.
When asked about playing with the point guard in practice, Kirilenko came so close to launching into typical the laundry list of praise. He makes everyone around him better, Kirilenko said. He can …
And then the veteran stopped and laughed. The list was silly.
"I'm just trying to give compliments for everything he is doing," he said. "He is just a great player."
What a great perspective. There's nothing new to praise, not two weeks into Rubio practicing as everyone awaits his arrival with bated breath. He's good, great even. That's it.
In terms of a return date, after coach Rick Adelman's rare candid details Monday (they'd be meeting to discuss a return date soon, the schedule isn't exactly conducive to slotting him in right now), no new information came out Tuesday. That doesn't mean Rubio won't be playing against Denver on Wednesday, just that, as usual, we won't know until the last minute.
Love not quite full strength: Kevin Love made it very clear after his 36-point outing Friday that one game does not necessarily mean he's back. Tuesday, he said that his hand is "still getting there" and that he hopes that by January he'll have hit his stride.
Andrew Bynum turning into Brandon Roy?: Philadelphia's big man, who's yet to play a game this season, went on the record Monday to provide an update on his bad knee(s).
He told the Delaware County Times:
"Health is going to be an issue. There's nothing I can really do about it. It's arthritis in the knees. Cartilage is missing. That's not going to regrow itself. Maybe in the future, the next three to five years, there may be something out there that really does help. For right now, it's a waiting game."
Brandon Roy, anyone?
Maybe Bynum isn't quite as sympathetic a figure as Roy, but it's still a shame if he befalls the same fate as the shooting guard, falling from one of the league's best at his position to someone clinging to the hope of playing. It'll be interesting to see in the next few days and weeks what information (preferably from doctors) comes out about Bynum and where exactly his knees stand on the spectrum from wobbly to shot. Another interesting wrinkle: Unlike Roy, who had years of salary owed him due to his amnesty, Bynum is in a contract year, with even more incentive to play.

Look at those sweet, kissable faces. It's sometimes hard to remember they're magnets for germs…
Any child who has fever or who has diarrhea, or who is sneezing excessively or coughing excessively is a child who is spreading their contagion to other children.
So it's really important to keep those children at home even when it's not convenient for families.
The first line of defense against colds flus and other contagious diseases is a strong and healthy body.
So make sure both you and your child are getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, exercising on a regular basis and staying current on vaccinations.
Not all viruses will make you sick. Not each time you touch a contaminated surface will you become sick.
It depends on the dose you ingest, it depends on your own defenses…so, there are a lot of variables there.
Still, there are a lot of little things you can do to help cut the odds…
Teach your child to sneeze or cough into a tissue to reduce the spread of germs by hand-to-hand contact.
Make sure they don't share eating utensils or other personal items.
And encourage them to wash their ands often and long…singing a song during the process will help.
There are also key areas you can target around your home to reduce your risk of spreading an infection:
The kitchen is a breeding-ground for germs—especially those nasty kitchen sponges and rags. But don't just launder them—the germs aren't killed by a normal wash cycle.
Replace them often or use paper towels or disposable wipes.
Next, clean surfaces that people touch a lot—like doorknobs, faucets and countertops.
And as always…Wash your hands. Washing up often can go a long way in keeping you from getting sick when your children do bring something home…
See the number going up?

Statistics on Lupus
Cases of Lupus
- The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that 1.5 million Americans, and at least five million people worldwide, have a form of lupus.
- Although lupus can strike men and women of all ages, 90 percent of individuals diagnosed with the disease are women. Most people will develop lupus between the ages of 15-44.
- Systemic lupus accounts for approximately 70 percent of all cases of lupus. In approximately half of these cases, a major organ, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys or brain, will be affected. Cutaneous lupus (affecting only the skin) accounts for approximately 10 percent of all lupus cases. Drug-induced lupus accounts for about 10 percent of all lupus cases and is caused by high doses of certain medications. The symptoms of drug-induced lupus are similar to systemic lupus; however, symptoms usually subside when the medications are discontinued.
- In approximately 10 percent of all cases, individuals will have symptoms and signs of more than one connective tissue disease, including lupus. A physician may use the term "overlap syndrome" or "mixed connective tissue disease" to describe the illness.
- 20 percent of people with lupus will have a parent or sibling who already has lupus or may develop lupus.
- About 5 percent of the children born to individuals with lupus will develop the illness.
- Lupus is two to three times more prevalent among women of color -- African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders -- than among Caucasian women.
- It is difficult to determine the annual number of new lupus cases, or the number of individuals who die from health complications of the disease. However, due to improved diagnosis and disease management, most people with the disease will go on to live a normal life span. However, it is believed that between 10-15 percent of people with lupus will die prematurely due to complications of lupus.
- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report in May 2002 which indicated that deaths attributed to lupus increased over a 20-year period, particularly among African American women ages 45-64. However, it is not clear if the rise is the result of an actual increase in lupus mortality or better identification and reporting of deaths due to complications of the disease. Trends in Deaths from SLE -- United States, 1979 - 1998
Economic Impact
- A study reported in October 2008 found that the average annual direct health care cost of patients with lupus was $12,643. The study's authors also determined that the mean annual productivity costs (lost hours of productive work) for participants of employment age (between the ages of 18 and 65) was $8,659. Thus, the mean annual total costs (combining direct costs and productivity costs for subjects of employment age) was $20,924.
- According to a Lupus Foundation of America membership survey, one in four patients receive their health care through a government-sponsored program, such as Medicare or Medicaid.
- Two of three lupus patients reported a complete or partial loss of their income because they no longer are unable to work fulltime due to complications of lupus.
- One in three have been temporarily disabled by the disease, and one in four currently receive disability payments.
- While lupus is a widespread disease, awareness of the disease lags behind many other illnesses.
- In a nationwide poll of 1,000 adults conducted for the LFA, 38% said they are somewhat or very familiar with lupus, while 39% have only heard of the name of the disease and 22% have never heard of lupus.
- In an another survey, only four of ten young adults ages 18-24 claimed to be aware of lupus, even though the disease often strikes during the childbearing years.
- While 65% of respondents to this survey claimed awareness of lupus, only 20% could correctly answer basic questions about the disease.
Diagnosis and Treatment
- A LFA survey of its members suggests that more than half of those afflicted with lupus suffered at least four years, and saw three or more doctors before obtaining a correct diagnosis of lupus.
- Nearly half of the survey participants (49%) received their diagnosis of lupus after being examined by a rheumatologist, a medical specialist who treats diseases of the connective tissue.
- Four of ten lupus patients are treated by three or more doctors, and take six or more medications to treat symptoms of the disease.
Other Autoimmune Diseases
- One of three patients responding to the LFA membership survey reported they had another autoimmune disease in addition to lupus, and almost half had a relative with lupus.
- Autoimmune diseases like lupus often run in families.
- Most lupus patients reported that they are coping well with lupus (78%), and that other family members are understanding and supportive (72%).
- People with lupus named other family members (84%) and friends (72%) as their primary support network.
- The survey participants cited pain (65%), lifestyle changes (61%), and emotional problems associated with lupus (50%) as the most difficult factors for coping with lupus.

- 500 71st St, Miami Beach, FL, 33141
Santa Vs. Satan @ Wynwood
Multiple Dates
Miami, FL
Yet another oddball Mexican fantasy brought to American audiences by cut-rate exploitation titan K. Gordon Murray, this seasonal tale concerns Santa Claus (Jose Elias Moreno), who we discover doesn't work out of the North Pole after all.
Instead, Santa and his friend and associate Merlin the Magician have a base of operations in a castle orbiting the Earth on a small satellite, upon which they observe the activities of children both good and bad through an elaborate surveillance system. While kids all over the globe (most of whom apparently wear stereotypical native costumes at all times) are trying to be good, the Devil wants to increase youthful misbehavior. With this in mind, he sends his emissary Pitch (Cesareo Quezadas, aka Pulgarcito), a demon with a digestive problem, to Earth and Pitch starts his reign of terror by attempting to goad a little girl from a poor family into stealing the doll that she wants. Eventually, Santa and Merlin catch up with Pitch for a final battle of Good vs. Evil. Santa Claus also offers new insight into St. Nick's weight, eating habits, and mode of transportation; the film played the kiddie matinee circuit for years & continues to be a Christmas cult-classic!
O Cinema is a cutting-edge independent cinema located in Miami's Wynwood Arts District, that specializes in showing first-run independent, foreign, art, and niche films.

Cairo — The "National Alliance to Support Legitimacy and Oppose the Coup" has asked its supporters to continue to rally in the streets in preparation for what it described as an uprising on July 3.
President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood was ousted last year on July 3 in response to mass demonstrations against his rule. His supporters have declared his removal a "coup against legitimacy".
The alliance accused newly elected President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the army when it ousted Sisi, of squandering public funds.
"New money, that belong to the poor, to secure him [Sisi] with guards and planes in the show of militarizing bicycles," said a statement by the Islamist coalition that supports Mursi on Saturday.
Sisi, who was sworn into office last Sunday, has recently appeared riding a bicycle to entourage Egyptians to save fuel to reduce the state's burden of subsidies.

PICTURE two friends, Sally and Anne, having a drink in a bar. While Sally is in the bathroom, Anne decides to buy another round, but she notices that Sally has left her phone on the table. So no one can steal it, Anne puts the phone into her friend's bag before heading to the bar. When Sally returns, where will she expect to see her phone?
If you said she would look at the table where she left it, congratulations! You have a theory of mind – the ability to understand that another person may have knowledge, ideas and beliefs that differ from your own, or from reality.
If that sounds like nothing out of the ordinary, perhaps it's because we usually take it for granted. Yet it involves doing something no other animal can do to the same extent: temporarily setting aside our own ideas and beliefs about the ...

Normally I use the burner that is on my PC to burn ISO's to DVD.
Latest download from ESS is a .UDF file. The burner doesn't recognize it.
I found a different IBM site that had the ISO and I am downloading that.
However I'd sure like to figure out how to make a boot cd out of this UDF

Things that can increase
your risk for
coronary artery disease are called risk factors. Some
risk factors, such as your gender, your age, and your
family history, can't be changed. Other risk factors
for heart disease are tied to your lifestyle and habits. These often are things
you can change. Your chance of getting coronary artery disease rises with the
number of risk factors you have.
Women have unique risk factors for heart disease. These include using birth control pills, using hormone therapy, and having pregnancy-related problems.
Smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and lack
of exercise are risk factors you can reduce with lifestyle changes and
medicine. Diabetes and obesity can sometimes be prevented when lifestyle
changes are made early in life. To learn more, see Prevention.
Your doctor can help you find out your risk of getting coronary artery disease. If you know your blood pressure and cholesterol numbers, see the
Interactive Tool: Are You at Risk for a Heart Attack?
to calculate your risk of having a heart attack in the next 10 years.

Watch Oprah Winfrey take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey had teased she was going to do it and now it has happened -- she took the Ice Bucket Challenge for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Watch in the video above.
The ALS challenge, which dares people to either donate to the cause or dump a bucket of ice-cold water over their heads, was initiated by the ALS Association back on July 29. However, it has really gained national attention in recent days because of the chain reaction of celebrities challenging each other. Oprah is just the latest in a long line -- and she dared "The Hundred-Foot Journey" producer and stars Steven Spielberg, Helen Mirren and Manish Dayal.
RELATED: Watch 41 celebrities take the Ice Bucket Challenge here
The ALS Association site says that in the time since the challenge was issued, they've received $9.5 million in donations, compared to just $1.6 million during the same time period a year ago. So, hopefully that means a lot of people are doing the ice bucket challenge and donating, not just doing the ice bucket challenge and not donating. Find out how to donate here.
"We have never seen anything like this in the history of the disease," says Barbara Newhouse, president and CEO of the ALS Association. "We couldn't be more thrilled with the level of compassion, generosity and sense of humor that people are exhibiting as they take part in this impactful viral initiative."

Breaking up with your boyfriend is probably one of the most depressing points in your life. What's worse than breaking up with your boyfriend? Getting an STD! Having an STD is not just like getting a really bad tattoo. Quite frankly, I would probably choose the bad tattoo that says "Mark and Jane forever" even if "forever" lasted only a couple of months. Don't get depressed. STD is not the end of the world although it may seem like it. You can actually still enjoy yourself by looking for STD singles online. There are a lot of online STD dating sites out there.
There are 70 million cases of STD positives in the US alone. That's a big number so you should never feel like you're all alone in the world. The best way to deal with your problem is to direct it head on. And no, I don't mean running your ex over with your grocery cart. Deal with it by getting the medical attention you need. Find a doctor you are comfortable discussing your concerns with. This is very important as you will have to report your progress from time to time. Have yourself examined and take your medication regularly. Since you already found a solution to your problem, I don't see why you can't start dating again. Most STD singles are hesitant to form any real bond with regular singles due to fear of being judged or labeled. Try looking for STD singles online and find someone that truly deserves you.
Finding the Mr. or Ms Right online is easy and fast. Personally, I would recommend this to anybody who would approach me with the same problem. It's best to talk to people who can really relate with you. There are a lot of STD singles online that can give you a helpful tips, guidance and moral support. Most STD singles who are diagnosed often don't tell their family members. You DO need to communicate and get the burden off your chest. Find an STD single online today. You just might find your future best friends or future prince charming.
When things do develop between STD singles, you can hit the sack when you're ready for that kind of intimacy. STD doesn't decrease your libido or your preferences. You can still have sex with whomever you feel if are sexually attracted to. Just make sure you are wearing protection. Even if you have STD, it doesn't mean you can't get it again. STD comes in several strains. There is a real risk of you getting another STD on top of what you already have. Discuss this with your partner and your doctor. If you are sexually active and prefer multiple partners, be responsible and carry a couple of condoms with you. You know firsthand how awful it is to have it so you should understand how important education and awareness is. Practice safe sex and protect yourself as well as others.

Women Who Shaped America
The Women's Rights Movement would not have been what it was -- and still is -- without Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. During an era in which women were thought to be their husband's property, Stanton and Anthony challenged the notion that women were not equal. America saw drastic change in civil rights in the 19th century, when freed slaves had been given the right to vote. Women, on the other hand, did not have the right to vote, or rights in a divorce, or the right to have custody of their children, or a fair share of their property. Women also did not have the right to their own bodies, being told it was their duty to have sexual relations with their husband whenever he wanted. Women were, in essence, slaves, and many the victims of abuse and rape. Stanton and Anthony's efforts worked to drastically improve the role of women in American society.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Cady was born on November 12, 1815 in Johnstown, New York. Cady was one of eleven children. Cady's father was federalist attorney and U.S. Congressman, which exposed her to the legal system at an early age. It was then she discovered the inconsistencies in legislation and the wording of the U.S. Constitution which tilted the scales in favor of men.
Some of Cady's ideology surrounding women's rights also stemmed from her abolitionist activism. Although it is confirmed that Cady's father owned at least one slave when she was a child, Cady never considered the man, Peter Teabout, a slave. Teabout remained employed by the Cadys after his freedom around 1827 to take care of the children. Like many who have made public statements against segregation, Cady reflected fondly of how she and her sisters sat next to Teabout in the back of the church on Sundays, rather than in the front with the white women.
Throughout her early years, Cady made some very bold statements in defending women's rights. When Elizabeth Cady married Henry Brewster Stanton in 1840, Elizabeth Cady insisted the vow that she would "obey" her new husband be removed from her wedding ceremony. Per Stanton, "I obstinately refused to obey one with whom I supposed I was entering into an equal relation." The newly dubbed "Mrs. Stanton" also refused to be called Mrs. Henry B. Stanton. Rather, she always signed her name Elizabeth Cady Stanton or E. Cady Stanton. Again, Stanton refused to accept the notion that she was now her husband's possession and not an individual. Stanton defiantly stated that the, "custom of calling women Mrs. John This and Mrs. Tom That and colored men Sambo and Zip Coon, is founded on the principle that white men are lords of all."
This "white men are lords of all" attitude that Stanton aptly described proved itself to be true. While attending an Anti-Slavery Convention in London, England in 1840, Stanton and abolitionist Lucretia Mott were told they would not be allowed to participate. Mott was nominated as the delegate of her abolitionist society, and was still denied access to the convention. After much argument, Stanton and Mott were allowed to attend the convention but were forced to sit in a section that was not only roped off, but also hidden from the men who were attending the convention. Despite support from William Lloyd Garrison, a prominent figure at the convention, the women were still sequestered with Garrison by their sides.
Although her husband, Henry, supported her views on abolitionism, he did not feel that women were discriminated against to the degree Stanton did. Some of her friends even criticized her for not being a more "dutiful wife." This did not stop Stanton who, with Mott and a number of likeminded women, formed the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York, Stanton's hometown, in 1848. It was here Stanton drafted and presented the Declaration of Sentiments, a modern-day Declaration of Independence for women and their rights. Sixty-eight women and 32 men signed the Declaration of Sentiments at that first convention.
Stanton met fellow abolitionist and women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony in 1851. Anthony was single and did not have any children, which gave her the time to make appearances at women's rights conventions that Stanton could not attend. Stanton and Anthony forged a partnership that lasted 50 years until Stanton's death. Anthony credits Stanton as being the voice behind her many speeches; Anthony is credited as being the movement's tactician.
Susan B. Anthony
Susan Brownwell Anthony was born on February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts. Anthony was the oldest of seven children and her parents were Quakers. Anthony's mother, Lucy, was astoundingly independent, despite marrying into a rather strict faith. Two weeks after that first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, Lucy Anthony attended a second convention held in Rochester, New York. Lucy Anthony signed Rochester's Declaration of Sentiments, standing firm for women's rights and heavily influencing her daughter.
Anthony's mother was not the only supporter of women's rights in her family. Anthony's father, Daniel, pulled Susan out of public school and home-schooled her when he learned that she was not being taught long division because she was a girl. Another teacher within the home-schooling system, Mary Perkins, taught Susan about women's rights. Anthony eventually became a teacher herself, a job she took to help the family out during horrific economic times. It is worth noting that during this time, male teachers earned four times more than women teachers did at that time.
Upon meeting Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851, Anthony and Stanton formed the Women's State Temperance Society as part of the first women's temperance movement. The society only lasted one year, but Anthony and Stanton's partnership had only just begun. Anthony first spoke at the third annual National Women's Rights Convention in 1852 in upstate New York. Anthony was invited back to speak each year, and also served as convention president in 1858.
Despite Anthony's desire to combine the abolitionist and women's rights movements, both she and Stanton fought the ratification of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. While not opposed to the furthering of rights to African-Americans, both women were against what they viewed as a continuing of keeping the right to vote away from women, both white and black. Anthony took her objection all the way to the courthouse. On November 18, 1872, Susan B. Anthony was arrested because she voted. The trial was an embarrassment to the United States judicial system. The presiding judge never allowed Anthony to testify, and told the jury to render a guilty verdict and refused to poll the jury at the end of the trial. Anthony was given a $100 fine, which she never paid.
The arrest blew up in the unjust judicial system's face. Anthony received much-needed publicity from the ridiculous court case, which only furthered her and Stanton's cause. Anthony and Stanton formed the National Women's Suffrage Association three years prior to Anthony's arrest in 1869, and Susan B. Anthony took the United States and Europe by storm, giving countless speaking engagements on women's and civil rights. Anthony became president of the National Women's Suffrage Association in 1892.
Anthony worked tirelessly for women's rights until her retirement in 1900. Upon her retirement Anthony remained optimistic, but also realistic about women's rights. Anthony replied to the question whether women would ever be given the right to vote in the U.S., "it will come, but I shall not see it ... It is inevitable." Susan B. Anthony died on March 13, 1906, 14 years before Congress added the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving women the right to vote. Susan B. Anthony's legacy has been remembered in many honors, including being placed on U.S. dollar coins and the postage stamp.

Rep's "History of Invulnerability" suffers from an identity crisis
Published April 13, 2014
Ever since he made his debut into the American pop culture world, Superman has been a character who made people wonder what he really was. After all, he's technically an alien disguised as a human. That was kind of the way I felt walking out of the opening night of "The History of Invulnerability" at the Milwaukee Rep. I wasn't totally sure what I had just watched, but I knew whatever it was had made me a little uncomfortable.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Sarah Shearman, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 24 June 2011 11:00AM
The Wall Street Journal has reported that the Federal Trade Commission is poised to issue subpoenas to Google in a matter of days and is likely to investigate whether Google searches unfairly steer users to its own services at the expense of rivals.
The Financial Times also notes the FTC's growing interest in a report claiming attorneys-general in California, New York and Ohio have recently launched antitrust probes into Google's dominance.
The news of these investigations follows a similar antitrust probe into Google launched by the European Commission in November last year.
The ongoing case in Europe was triggered by complaints from a number of competitors, including Mircosoft's Ciao, that Google has unfairly penalising them in search rankings.
Last year the Texas attorney-general also launched an investigation into Google over its web dominance.
Amid this growing controversy Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt said at the Cannes Lions advertising festival yesterday that it is looking to acquire more companies to grow its presence in display advertising, according to a report in Reuters.
Google declined to comment on the reports.

Becker Knives
Becker Knives did it again, this time with a smaller version of the Combat Utility 7 knife, the BK7. The BK7 knife is basically the same as the BK9 blade but scaled down to be lighter and easier to carry on extended trips. This puts this blade within the size range of a good survival knife as compared to typical "combat" knives.As many of you know, Becker Knives has created some of the better survival knives. Known for rugged durability and quality at reasonable prices, the Becker line of knives has a following among experienced survivors.
Becker BK7 Comparison
The Becker BK7 knife is commonly known by several names including:
Becker BK7
Combat Utility 7
Becker Combat Utility Knife
Becker BK7
The Becker BK7 knife if often compared favorably to the Cold Steel SRK. Many prefer the Becker blade, though both are popular and excellent survival knives.
The Becker BK 7 design is based on the MK2 combat knife. The original MK2 knife was partially developed by Camillus Cutlery, which has a hand in the production of Becker knives also.
The BK7 Blade
As many of the Becker Knives are noted for, the BK7 is stout and powerful survival knife made of excellent .188 inch thick 0170-6C carbon steel blade. This is one of the best survival blades out there, built to take great deal of punishment and still perform.
I like the ergonomic fit of the BK7's handle in my hand. It is easy to grasp and gives a good firm grip. The balance is excellent – as soon as you heft this knife you know you have a series contender for the best of survival knives.
The blade of the Becker BK 7 knife is 7-inches, flat ground, and clip point Bowie Knife type. Full tang blade, of course. Its thick sharp blade makes for durability so that it can be used with confidence for chopping. The end of the handle makes a good solid pommel, an often overlooked feature that can be of use to the survivor in many situations.
The BK7 sheath is ambidextrous and made of OD green nylon lined with kydex. This makes for less rattling when on the move. A drawback is the knife is loose and must be strapped in, increasing the risk of loosing it should the snap come loose.
In Stock Becker BK7 Knives are Rare
Although many say the Becker BK7 knife is one of the best survival knives ever made, you may be out of the luck. They are sought after by the survival community and are sometimes difficult to find as it is no longer in production. The BK7 and other Becker Knives are becoming sought after collector items. If you have a Becker Knife my advice is to hold onto it as many consider it to be one of the best survival knives ever made.
