The Perfect Parent
1. Go to bed after a long day of playing outside dirty. Ok this one sounds gross, but how many times have you as a child wanted to play outside until the last second of sunlight, and continued to play until the fireflies started fading out? YES!! This was the best, and of course by that time, bath time was long gone, and the backs of your eyelids were drawing near. Sheets and children can always be washed the next day.
2. Skip making dinner and play! This happens around our house more than I'd like, but I'd rather spend time playing and laughing with Meet Mot than cooking a dinner. (I'm sure he loves it too) There are nights where hubby picks up food on the way home for us to eat. On nice summer nights we like to eat out on the porch, with PLASTIC forks and PAPER plates ;-) *I see you cringing.*
3. Don't touch your laundry for 3 days! It feels so exhilarating breaking the "norm" :)
4. Miss the bus for fun. I remember when I missed the bus, it was a stressful moment, and pretty much ruined my whole day at school. My mom would frantically run to the house in her robe rummaging for her purse and keys, my lunch would sit on the counter forgotten in midst of all the chaos, and we'd hop in the car to chase the bus down. Kids are so sensitive, and so used to being "perfect" that if they make a mistake, they feel like their whole world is turned upside down. Be late one day, enjoy an extra long breakfast chat and watch the bus go by. It will be ok. I promise. It will also teach your kid to improvise without being a mad man or woman!
5. Go without a schedule/plans for a day. Again, touching on the subject that kids don't need to be perfect either. Throwing the schedule out the window for a day isn't going to hurt anything. This will allow them to know that it is okay to not be the same all of the time, and also help them adjust to doing things differently on occasion.
6. Eat junk food every now and then. Anyone who knows me, knows I HATE junk food, well I don't personally, however the thought of feeding my child wasted nutrients and sugars is horrifying. An occasional treat isn't going to hurt anything, it doesn't have to be a corn syrup, GMO'd snack, but something that you wouldn't normally have. For example, Mason had a fruit leather the other day and loved it!!!
7. Get Messy, and don't clean up. The stigma of being a perfect "housewife/mom" comes with having a perfect house right? To me, someone whose house is spotless doesn't have fun. Now, my house is always clean, but now and then I will let the chair sit in the middle of the room for a day, because it is his new "mountain." to climb, or for him to keep a blanket out to snuggle with randomly during the day.
8. Allow your children to dress themselves, matching or not. This is the best! They will not only feel accomplished, they will love all of the attention they get during the day! Try it, sit back and allow them to be their own little person.
9. Watch an episode of pointless, noneducational cartoons. (would be great paired with #6) We found ourselves watching the Flinstones the other day, not that he particularly enjoyed it, but it brought back great memories of my childhood... it was good for the soul.
10. Teach your child the importance of caring for and respecting everything, inanimate or not. That difference of opinions, ideas, and ways of living doesn't make one person better than the other. This is a valuable life lesson that will take them far, being able to adjust or "Chameleon" themselves into different situations will make them not only a more likable person, but one who can listen to, empathize with and help others.

There are mounting public concerns over the apparent delay by the Supreme Court of Liberia in adjudicating defense lawyers' appeal against the death sentence handed Hans Williams and fiancée, Mardea Paykue after they(Hans and Mardea) were convicted of murdering 13-year-old Angel Tokpa.
The Supreme Court is the final arbiter of justice in the country. Over the weekend, several Liberians, particularly students expressed disdain and repugnance over what they described as the prolonged delay by the country's High Court in passing a ruling in the case. Against this backdrop, they called on the High Court to speedily pass judgment in the case for justice to prevail.
"I think the Supreme Court has abandoned the case because it has taken long time since the defense filed the appeal against the final verdict in the case," remarked student Samuel Toe of the D. Tweh Memorial High School in New Kru Town.
"When Justice is delayed, justice is denied. We need justice in this one case. What kind of country is this, it takes longer time before a case is adjudicated," asserted Mr. Gabriel Wilson, a resident of Sinkor, Monrovia.
Prior to the filing of their brief to the Supreme Court, former Chief Justice Johnnie N Lewis expressed disappointment over the failure of state prosecutors to file their brief timely to the bench to hear defense lawyers' appeal against the death sentence handed Hans and Mardea. Former Chief Lewis described the action by state prosecutors as "bad practice in keeping with law".
Former Chief Justice Lewis: " Your excuse to the high court that virus ate the document from your computer clearly shows your failure to begin this proceeding and your failure to take this case seriously, (and) we will make you take it seriously". After prosecution counsels filed their brief upon arrival for the hearings, Associate Justices queried them for belated presentation.
Government lawyers blamed "technical breakdown" for the late filing of their 18-count brief but their excuse could not convince the former Chief Justice Lewis' bench which deemed it as "weakness and bad practice in keeping with law".
But the Bench rescheduled the hearings after bombarding the prosecution lawyers with several questions. The former chief justice insisted that the failure of the state to file its brief on time forced the Bench to reschedule the hearings since the Associate Justices need "enough time to peruse and digest the document."
It could be recalled that on Friday, March 10, 2010, the Judge Blamoh Dixon of Criminal Court "B" at the Temple of Justice sentenced Hans Williams and Mardea Paykue to death.
The judge gave the ruling following months of legal battle, which was occasioned by protests by women's groups and students sympathizing with the little girl. According to the ruling, Madea met his boyfriend Hans sexually abusing the 13 year-old in a bathroom in their Duport Road home in Monrovia, when she lost her temper and strangled the girl to death.
To cover up the crime, the couple hanged the girl and lied that she had hanged herself. The concealment was discovered by a Cuban pathologist, who informed the court that the girl was sexually molested before she was murdered.
He contended that it was not possible for little Angel to hang herself from the height she was seen hanging. According to the ruling, the two should have been hanged on March 26, 2010 at one of the beaches, but their lawyers took an appeal to the Supreme Court against the verdict.
If the Supreme Court upholds the appeal, the death sentence, however, has to be approved by the President. But since Liberia is a signatory to the treaty abrogating the death sentence, Madea and Williams may end up having their sentences commuted to life imprisonment.

Wedding Cake Recipe-Small
Me and BF are getting "legally" married this Sunday, actual wedding will be in November. Sunday is also our 6 year anniversary so I thought it would be nice if we had a small wedding cake that day.
I keep coming back to the recipe in Gourmet for Lemon Raspberry Wedding Cake, the ingredients sound so good. The problem is that the recipe is for 50, there will only be 6 off us. Also I don't bake often so I am fearful of dividing the recipe so that I get a smaller cake.
Can I just use a basic cake batter recipe? Any suggestions, or recipes that anyone can share would be greatly appreciated.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Domestic partner registry may be coming soon to Tampa
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
update: the domestic partnership registry passed Tampa City Council on 1st reading 15 March 2012.
Tampa city council member Yvonne Yolie Capin has proposed an ordinance that would give unmarried couples some similar rights to those who are married. It would apply to both heterosexual couples as well as those in same-sex relationships. Under the proposal, couples registered as domestic partners would be able to make decisions on behalf of a sick partner as well as provide certain protections in the event of a death. Capin said some of those guarantees could be secured without the ordinance, but that could be a lot more complicated.
âTo do what we have just spoken here would take more than ten documents and hundreds if not thousands of dollars and there are many citizens that absolutely could not afford that.â
In addition to decision-making, the ordinance would also allow domestic partners to be notified in an emergency. Thatâs a right not currently granted to non-married couples. Nadine Smith, executive director for Equality Florida, said Tampaâs initiative protects couples.
âThe vast majority of Floridians like the vast majority of Americans actually believe people ought to be able to access these essential protections. People shouldnât have to worry will I be able to be at the personâs side who I love when they need me the most.â
Even though such an initiative is often seen as a win for the LGBT community, Capin said this ordinance was meant to help all adults.
âWe have about 90% of the people who cohabitate are heterosexual and 10% are homosexual. So, it is for all. Thereâs no special group. Thereâs no special treatment. It is open to all. You have to be 18 and competent to enter into a contract.â
Equality Floridaâs Nadine Smith said the ordinance isnât a ground-breaking move, but it represents the changes that are continuing in the LGBT fight for equal protection under the law.
âFlorida is changing. The country is changing. Attitudes that people held just a few years ago have shifted dramatically. And the clear path is towards equality. The question is: How quickly do we get there?â
And in this case getting there may not take too long. Council member Capin said she expects a first reading of the ordinance in just a few weeks and anticipates widespread support. Right now, specifics are being hashed out by city staff. But Capin said the process used for a similar ordinance in Orlando is being used as a model. Their process calls for a one page application and a fifty dollar fee.
âOur legal department is looking at the, of course the legal verbiage that will go into the ordinance, but the administration will be looking at how to administer it. It may or may not be through the clerkâs office.â
There are few limitations to the model being used. Applicants must be 18, unwed and canât be related to their co-applicant. The initiative was unanimously supported by the five council members attending a workshop last week. Capin didnât plan to present the proposed domestic partnership registry until later, but she bumped up plans because it was the due date of her first grandson.
âAnd I thought to myself, what a better day to bring this forth than on this day and what a welcome to this world for my grandson of fairness, equality and diversity, the world Iâd like him, and the city Iâd like him to grow up in.â
Nadine Smith said Capinâs reasons for starting this process are another example of how public perception of lifestyles has changed.
âAnd that change is reflected in progress that weâre seeing in the Donât Ask; Donât Tell, Maryland becoming the 8th state to make marriage legal. Where ever you look at places where the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community has been denied equal protection, equal access; things are changing.â
The first reading of the ordinance before the full City Council is expected on March 15. Capin said she has seen nothing but support so far.
âI feel strongly that it will pass and that legal will come forth on the 15th with the ordinance. The mayor, from his comments, is in support. So, I donât see any road blocks.â
We tried to reach Mayor Bob Buckhorn but he was unavailable. If passed, the law would also benefit many elderly couples who chose not to marry for financial reasons, such as losing retirement benefits from a deceased spouse. However, according to Capinâs office, only residents of Tampa can apply for the registry and it can only be enforced within city limits.

Centre of activity is the nondescript place d'Armes, while rue de la Mairie, leading west, is overlooked by the massive Gothic belfry of the Hôtel de Ville, popularized by Victor Hugo and renowned for its carillon of 62 bells the largest single collection in Europe. It rings every 15 minutes, and there are hour-long concerts every Saturday at 10.45am, on public holidays at 11am, and in summer on Monday at 9pm (hourly guided tours: July & Aug daily 1011am & 25pm; SeptJune MonSat 25pm, Sun 10am, 11am, 3pm & 5pm; €3.50).
One block north of the town hall, on rue Bellegambe, is an outrageous Art Nouveau facade fronting a very ordinary haberdashery store. At the end of the street, rising above the old town, are the Baroque dome and tower of the church of St-Pierre, an immense, mainly eighteenth-century church with among other treasures a spectacular carved Baroque organ case. East of the place d'Armes, Douai's oldest church, the twelfth-century church of Notre-Dame, suffered badly in the last war but has been refreshingly modernized inside. Beyond the church is the better of the town's two surviving medieval gateways, the Porte Valenciennes, now the centre of a triumphal roundabout. With the exception of the 1970s extension to the old Flemish Parliament building, the riverfront west of the town hall is pleasant to wander along. Between the river and the canal to the west, on rue de Chartreux, the Ancienne Chartreuse has been converted into a wonderful museum (Mon & WedSat 10amnoon & 25pm, Sun 10amnoon & 36pm; €3), with a fine collection of paintings by Flemish, Dutch and French masters, including Van Dyck, Jordaens, Rubens and Douai's own Jean Bellegambe. The adjacent chapel, magnificently converted in 2001, shows off to full effect an array of sculptures including a poignant Enfant prodige by Rodin.
The gare SNCF is a five-minute walk from the centre from the station head left down avenue Maréchal Leclerc, then right onto the place d'Armes. The tourist office (MayOct MonSat 10am1pm & 27pm, Sun 36pm; NovApril MonSat 10am12.30pm & 26.30pm; tel 03.27.88.26.79, www.ville-douai.fr) is within the fifteenth-century Hôtel du Dauphin, on the square. For accommodation there's the Hôtel au Grand Balcon, on place Carnot (tel 03.27.88.91.07; €3040), or the better Le Grand Cerf, 46 rue St-Jacques (tel 03.27.88.79.60, fax 03.27.98.05.74; €4055). A far classier option is La Terrasse, a swanky four-star in the narrow terrasse St-Pierre (tel 03.27.88.70.04, fax 03.27.88.36.05; €5570), to one side of the church of St-Pierre; its restaurant is well regarded, with menus from €24.
Just northeast of the place d'Armes is the post office, from where buses leave for Lewarde (Line #1 orange).

Rhode Island is the Ocean State, and we have a lot at stake when it comes to the sea level rise associated with global warming. We've already witnessed 10 inches of rise over the past 70 years, and we can expect 4-6 feet of additional increase by the end of the century whether we reduce global carbon emissions or not. This is the stark reality that demands we not only mitigate our carbon pollution but also adapt to the rapidly changing climate we've created.
Rhode Island is at the forefront of climate adaptation. The RI Climate Change Commission released a study with a comprehensive set of policy suggestions that should be implemented as quickly as possible. Additionally, the Coastal Resources Management Council has proactively started a Beach SAMP (special area management plan), which will produce more finely detailed analysis of the impacts of sea level rise and resulting policy recommendations. You can help make climate adaptation a priority by bringing the Beach SAMP and the work of the Climate Change Commission to the attention of policy makers in your city or town.

Spotify launches Connect service, will stream to home speaker systems
Today, Spotify announced that it has began working with "a number of" hardware manufacturers to bring music streaming to household audio systems similar to how AirPlay and other music streaming systems work. The new service is called Spotify Connect and will enable customers to stream playlists to speakers and home theater systems throughout their entire house.
This is quite similar to how Google Chromecast manages to stream audio from Chrome-based devices to TVs around the home. As expected, the system will allow users to pause a track on a smartphone and then resume the track at the same time marker on any sound-producing, Connect-compatible device in the home.
While no supporting products have been named, and no pricing or availability information given, we do know that devices from Argon, Bang & Olufsen, Denon, Marantz, Philips, Pioneer, Revo, Teufel, and Yamaha will be compatible with the Spotify Connect and identified by the logo being highly visible on compatible products.

Hands-on with Corsair's new headsets unveiled at PAX Prime
PAX PRIME 2013 - I was on the ground in Seattle, Washington, today for PAX Prime. While there, I got a chance to check out Corsair's newly unveiled headsets in person. You can see the headsets, learn more about them, and hear my opinion in the video below:
The brief text version is that the new headsets are quite the deal, with the top-of-the-line Vengence 2100 7.1 Wireless headset providing up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. It is completely redesigned from the previous version, despite looking fairly similar. It retails for around $150, making it a good purchase choice.

SteelSeries introduces 7.1 surround Siberia Elite Gaming Headset

SteelSeries says that the new Siberia Elite features the high-quality audio drivers and is equipped with Dolby technology that creates a realistic 7.1 virtual surround sound.

ROCCAT debuts Kave XTD, a new 5.1 surround digital gaming headset
During the Gamescom event being held in Germany this week, ROCCAT Studios announced the addition of a new high-quality gaming headset to its lineup of gaming peripherals. The new ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 digital gaming headset is the successor to ROCCAT's Kave 5.1.
The company says that the new Kave XTD is based on community and customer feedback and that the new headset builds on foundations laid by the original headset by improving existing features and integrating completely new innovations of its own. The headset features a fully-equipped desktop remote that integrates a built-in premium 5.1 sound card. Additionally, ROCCAT Smart Link technology is built-in. This technology lets the user pair their smartphone to the remote via Bluetooth. This new feature allows users to make and receive calls through the headset while gaming.
The remote also features built-in 5.1 speaker ports, which allow users to hook up their existing sound systems and easily toggle between the headset and speaker output without having to change settings in the PC software controls. ROCCAT says that the Kave XTD 5.1 provides a true, rich 5.1 surround sound. The headset features three driver units per ear cup, which are aligned at a 12 degree angle. This allows the headset to deliver an immersive and crisp sound while weighing 25 percent less than its predecessor.

Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc., stated, "Our TRITTON Kunai range proved popular at E3 thanks to its clean aesthetics and impressive audio.

V-MODA unveils two new headphone accessories for the gamer market
Today, V-MODA announced two new high-end accessories for use with its award winning Crossfade M-100 headphones. The BoomPro and CoilPro are aimed at enhancing the audio experience for even the most hardcore gamers as well as the Podcaster and Skype user. The BoomPro is a universal, hi-fi boom mic that instantly enhances voice clarity while greatly reducing background noise. It plugs directly into the audio jack of the CrossFade M-100 and a built-in on-cable Control Clip allows for quick adjustment of volume controls.
The CoilPro is a professional grade coiled extension cable that allows users to move up to 12 feet away from their battle station. The company says that this extension cable is perfect for the DJ booth, production studio, or for use while on a Skype call or other times when you may need to stay connected but move freely around your room or office. The cable is reinforced with an inner reinforcement strand of kevlar, which should prevent any stress breakage from occurring. Both of these new accessories are available from V-MODA and Amazon for $30.

Logitech introduces new Z600 Bluetooth stereo speakers
Earlier today, Logitech introduced us to its latest set of Bluetooth stereo speakers. Dubbed the Z600, the speakers are targeted at the MacBook Air and UltraBook markets but will work with any Bluetooth A2DP-enabled device including smartphones, tablets, and media streaming devices. Capable of pairing with up to three devices at the same time, users can stream music from each individual device by just making sure music playback on the other two devices are paused.
Logitech says that the speakers produce a room-filling sound and each incorporates three drivers in a very sleek and refined tower style package. Covered in a fabric finish, the Z600 speakers incorporate touch sensitive volume controls which are actuated by gliding a finger across the edge of the top panel of either speaker to raise or lower the volume.
Logitech has included a small USB Bluetooth dongle that will allow streaming audio from devices that may not be Bluetooth-equipped. No actual launch date was given, but Logitech has the Z600 Bluetooth Speakers up for preorder on their website at a price point of just $150. That price seems a little high when compared to the Panasonic portable Bluetooth speaker we covered earlier today, but I have a feeling the speakers will reproduce a more rich and full-bodied sound.
Panasonic unveils a new rugged wireless speaker dubbed the SC-NT10
Panasonic likes building products that can take whatever you can throw at them and their new portable wireless speaker is no exception. The SC-NT10 is a black and orange 4W portable speaker that features two full-range speakers and a passive radiator. Panasonic says that the speaker is "quad proof" and is dust, water, and impact resistant. Panasonic says that the speaker is able to last about eight hours on a single charge but did not disclose standby time battery life.
"Building on the popularity of other "tough" products in our lineup, Panasonic has created a wireless speaker that is small enough to carry almost anywhere and can handle the elements, but will still produce superior sound quality," said David Fisher, Product Manager, Home Entertainment, Panasonic Consumer Marketing Company of North America. "The SC-NT10 is an ideal audio companion for anyone who loves the outdoors. It's equipped with unique features for ease-of-use including Near Field Communication for easy pairing with mobile devices, and produces crystal clear, powerful sound."
Featuring Near Field Connectivity (NFC), the device is able to quickly pair with your smartphone's Bluetooth connection or alternatively, a 3.5 mm jack allows you to input your favorite tunes. The SC-NT10 is able to survive splashes of water, intense heat or freezing cold, and is able to survive drops from about 3 feet. Samsung says that they expect the speaker to ship sometime in August, but interested parties may pre-order one now for $100.

Sennheiser unveils new Momentum Headphones skinned in high-end Alcantara materials
This morning, Sennheiser announced the addition of a new model headphone to its Momentum line. The new headphones are slightly more compact and come in four different colors. Designed to work with Apple's mobile product line, the new Momentum headphones feature a built-in line microphone and remote control.
The headset will, however, work with other devices with the exclusion of the remote control functionality. Sennheiser says that the new headphones were developed by an "international team of design experts and trend scouts," but still feature a high-performance transducers Sennheiser is known for.
The new Momentum headphones feature a headband and ear pads that are skinned in Alcantara, a high-grade material that is featured in high-end cars and boats. At the moment, the new headphones are only available in the UK at a price point of £170 with US availability expected in the coming weeks.

Verizon Wireless Confirms $2 Fee for Making One-Time Payments

Replying to: Really more of a credit card fee... by Rich Brome
Flawed execution...
Wow! They really bungled this. Of course, their reasons are legitimate. There is still no excuse for this public relations disaster. Why would anyone with online banking pay through My Verizon anyway?

text: I could not get any noticeable function trying the sidechain inputs of these (I forget if it was specifically SC2 or 3 or 4 but could see the inputs in Jack-Rack) I ran jack from Qjackctl, Ardour and jack-rack. Inserted SC3 into jack-rack. All routing was done from Qjackctl "Connect" interface. Tried every way to Sunday and could not get any effect except "makeup gain". Then I tried just patching SC2 then SC3, etc as inserts direct into an audio channel in Ardour for straight compression. Could not get them to do any standard compressing either. Any thoughts or illumination on these compressors would be great. I particularly want to run a "de essing" of sorts on a single mike imput. Is it possible with these plugs?? Thanks

The unique flavors experienced in each Brava! Pizzeria Neapolitan inspired pizzas are the thoughtful culmination of fresh local ingredients; a mobile wood-fired oven; and the culinary expertise of a Denver-raised and Italian-trained chef. Brava! is proud to serve Hazel Dell Mushrooms (Windsor, CO); sausage, pepperoni and pancetta from Il Mondo Vecchio (Denver,CO); goat cheese from Jumpin' Good Goad Dairy (Buena Vista, CO); flour from Rocky Mountain Milling (Denver, CO); and seasonal specials from his very own garden!
The Queen :: aka Pizza Margherita ::
How pizza became known to all of Italy – San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella fior di latte and the freshest organic basil. This one has all the basics, but delivers unbelievable and pure flavor – the pure zest of the tomatoes, the creamy texture of the fresh mozzarella blended with the hint of basil make this original come to life. Pair with a light red: Alfredo Prunotto Barbera Dasti Fiulot DOC or a medium bodied white: Antinori Orvieto Classico Campogrande 2005
Sonny :: Italian Sausage ::
What would a pizzeria be without an Italian sausage pie?! San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella fior di latte, grated parmesan, and Italian sausage from our friends at Il Mondo Vecchio. Gusto flavor with nice hints of fennel and paprika. Pair with a velvety red: Barbera d'Alba, Produttori di Govone 2009 Piedmont, Italy
Marky :: Pepperoni ::
The true American stand by – the classic Pepperoni Pizza. Our tangy San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella fior di latte, grated parmesan and locally cured pepperoni Americana from Il Mondo Vecchio make this pizza sing with piquant flavor. Pair with a classic medium red: Chianti Classico Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico 2008 or an effervescent white: Riondo Prosecco
Fun-Guy :: White Shroom Pie ::
We wouldn't be a pizzeria without a white pie! White pizza with earthy garlic infused olive oil, zesty local goat cheese from Jumpin' Good Goat Dairy, fresh mozzarella fior di latte and organic local Shiitake and button mushrooms from Hazel Dell (Featured in Denver Magazine, 100 things to taste, October 2010)
Pair this earthy pie with an equally earthy but light red: Louis Jadot Pinot Noir 2009 or a bold white: Simonnet-Febvre Chablis 2009
Pizza Bianca Fresca :: White Fresh Pizza ::
Another white pie, this one tho an opposite from its brother – very fresh – hence the name 'fresh white'. Garlic infused olive oil, with local goat cheese, prosciutto and fresh fiore di latte fresh mozzarella – we bake this sucker off then top it with a fresh and crispy, lemon olive oil dressed arugula and parmesan shavings. Nice crispy but very fresh flavors from this one!
Skip the red for this one and go straight to a refreshing and crisp La Tunella Friuli Pinot Grigio 2009

Fats are isolated from plants and animals. The properties such as solubility relate to their chemical structures. Fats are heated with a strong base to convert them into soaps. The fat you use to make soap, reacts with potassium hydroxide to produce a potassium soap, the potassium salt of the fatty acid. One typical animal fat, stearol, reacts with KOH to form potassium stearate, a soap. Most naturally occuring fats produce a mixture of different salts of fatty acids when they are converted to soap.
The potassium soap formed from your fat is converted to a sodium soap by replacing the potassium ions with sodium ions. A large excess of sodium chloride supplies the sodium ion. You may also notice that the potassium soap is softer than the sodium soap. In addition there is a difference in the way the sodium and potassium soaps behave in water.
Both potassium and sodium soaps dissolve in water and are effective as cleaning agents. Each has a polar end to the molecule identified by the negative charge and an end that is primarily carbon and hydrogen. The polar end attracts polar water molecules. The other end, hydrocarbon end, attracts oils and other water insoluble materials like fat or grease. Water is a polar solvent and dissolves polar and ionic molecules. Gasoline is nonpolar and dissolves nonpolar materials such as fat or oil. A way to remember this behavior is the simple axiom; "Like dissolves like."
The nonpolar ends of the molecule associate with the fat, grime or dirt which is also nonpolar, The polar or ionic end of the molecule attracts the water molecules. A spherical structure with the polar portions of the molecule on the surface and the nonpolar parts of the molecule in the center is attracted to the water and carries the non-water-soluble material away with it. This spherical shaped unit of soap and grime is a micelle.
Magnesium and calcium salts of the same fatty acids that make up potassium and sodium soaps are not water soluble. When sodium or potassium soaps are put into water containing calcium and magnesium ions, the cloudyness, scum or curds consist of less soluble calcium and magnesium soaps. To achieve the same washing or cleaning action, more soap must be added.
There are other materials that also have cleaning capacity like soaps. The molecules of detergents also have polar and nonpolar ends. They clean like soaps except that their calcium and magnesium salts are generally more soluble in water than their soap counterparts. In recent years many different detergents have been introduced for use in cleaning. The conversion of one alkyl sulfate into a detergent is shown below.

FAA grounds Boeing 787s to address battery fires
Boeing and the airlines will need to move quickly to determine whether the problem is a flaw in the batteries themselves, in the plane's wiring or in some other area that's fundamental to the plane's electrical system.
Boeing has booked orders for more than 800 of the planes from airlines around the world attracted by its increased fuel efficiency.
The jet's lightweight design makes it more of a fuel-sipper, and it's so lightweight in part because it uses electricity to do things that other airplanes do with hot air vented through internal ducts. So a 787 with electrical problems is like a minivan that won't haul kids. It goes to the heart of what the thing was built to do.
Before it carried paying passengers, the 787 was closely reviewed by inspectors from Boeing and the FAA.
Mike Sinnett, chief engineer on the 787, said last week that the plane's batteries have operated through a combined 1.3 million hours and never had an internal fault. He said they were built with multiple protections to ensure that "failures of the battery don't put the airplane at risk."
The lithium-ion design was chosen because it's the only type of battery that can take a large charge in a short amount of time.
Neither GS Yuasa Corp., the Japanese company that supplies the batteries for the 787, nor Thales, which makes the battery charging system, would comment on the recent troubles.
Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways are two of the 787's biggest customers.
ANA was especially proud of its 787 fleet. Its executives' business cards and the top of its website read "787" and "We fly 1st." ANA got the first one Boeing delivered in late 2011, more than three years late.
Other 787s have had problems with certain electrical panels and fuel leaks.
Back on Jan. 9, ANA canceled a domestic flight to Tokyo after a computer wrongly indicated there was a problem with the 787's brakes. Two days later, the carrier reported two new problems with the aircraft - a minor fuel leak and a cracked cockpit windscreen.
Many of the 787s problems are typical of well-established planes around the world, Hiatt said, adding that he would have no qualms about flying aboard a 787.
"That airplane is the most scrutinized plane in the air," he said. "I would get on the airplane tomorrow."
Hours before the FAA announced its emergency order, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood dismissed any doubts about the FAA's diligence in certifying the plane.
"Our people are the best, but we need to work with Boeing and to make sure everything we've done has been done correctly," he told reporters Wednesday at a luncheon in Washington.
The FAA's decision canceled plans by LOT Polish Airlines to begin regular 787 service between Chicago's O'Hare Airport and Warsaw. The inaugural flight was due to land at O'Hare late Wednesday, but the airline called off the return trip.
Boeing was already under scrutiny for last week's fire, which was also tied to the battery in the back of the plane.
That fire prompted investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration, and the FAA later said it would review the design and manufacture of the plane, focusing on its electrical systems.
The NTSB said Wednesday that it would send an investigator to Japan to join the latest probe, and that representatives from the FAA and Boeing were on their way, too.
United frequent flier Josh Feller said he changed his plans to fly a United 787 from Los Angeles to Houston next month because of the 787's troubles.
"I've been following the 787 news closely, and the latest incident finally spooked me into changing my flight," he said by email. "It's an unnecessary risk, and since I was going out of my way to fly the plane in the first place, decided to change flights."
Boeing shares dropped $2.60, or 3.4 percent, to close Wednesday at $74.34, and the selloff continued in after-hours trading.

The Debt Management Office (DMO) has appointed Stanbic IBTC stockbrokers limited as the government stockholder. Speaking in Abuja yesterday, the Director General of the DMO, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo, said Stanbic IBTC stockbroker's responsibility as government stockbroker will include providing prices for FGN bonds on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), so that investors especially retailers who wished to buy or sell FGN bonds can do so.
Other responsibilities, he said, include, "acting as a liaison between the DMO, NSE, other stockbrokers and other market participants to ensure that all activities in FGN bonds and other FGN securities that may be listed in future are effected smoothly."
The DMO boss identified the benefits of the government stockbroker to investors to include; "investors can now access FGN bonds on the NSE, can now diversify their portfolio further by introducing bonds, provide an opportunity for investors to earn regular income on their investments through coupons paid on FGN bonds and it will be an additional and assured means through which investors can sell their FGN bonds before maturity."
With the appointment of a government stockbroker, Nwankwo noted that further stimulus will be introduced for the bond segment as well as higher volume of transaction both of which benefit the capital market.

A Mexican mobile app, described as "the simplest and fastest way to make charity donations", could transform aid fundraising, its designers say.
AidApp, which was a finalist earlier this year in the Mobile Premier Awards 2014 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, enables people to donate to charities directly from their smartphone in three simple steps, says Roberto Ibarra, AidApp's creator.
After opening the app, users select a charity, enter how much to give and tap the donate icon. It works in more than 80 countries, says Ibarra.
"It's like text-to-donate, but simpler," Ibarra says. "It's the only mechanism that allows you to donate on the spot, superfast, even if you don't have any cash or a bank card on you."
The first NGO to run a fundraising campaign using the app was Desafío Levantemos Chile (Let's Raise Chile), which has been using it since February. The Children's Rehabilitation Center Integral AC (CIRIAC), a Mexican NGO, will start fundraising using the app this month, and several Brazilian NGOs have signed up to start using it in June. Once that's happened "we will skyrocket for sure," says Ibarra.
Matt Jerwood, digital fundraising lead at Oxfam, says that Apple and Google currently take a 30 per cent commission charge from all payments made through apps - and there is no exception for donations. SciDev.Net requested a comment from both companies but received no response.
Jerwood says this situation is similar to the one that seen before 2009, when United Kingdom based mobile operators charged around 50 per cent commission on all text payments, including charity gifts. This made charities reluctant to use them for fundraising.
Then, in 2009, charity short codes were introduced in the United Kingdom. These allow mobile phone users to automatically make a preconfigured donation by sending a text to a five-digit number. The entire donation, including tax, goes to the charity, and the mobile operator bills a much smaller service charge for the text.
Since the codes were brought in, fundraising by text message has massively expanded, says Jerwood. For example, last year Oxfam received six times more text donations than the previous year.
Ibarra says that AidApp avoids the commission problem by billing users via their mobile phone operator. "This is our innovation," he says. "We don't use Apple's or Google's billing mechanism."
Another hurdle was that numerous NGOs wanted to be listed on the app, but this involves AidApp registering their banking details with mobile operators - a time consuming process which Ibarra says the operators do not relish. Yet he says he solved this problem by bringing several charities to the operators in one go, so they only have to set up the system once.
He says that a mix-up involving a text message donation campaign last month led some people in the United Kingdom to inadvertently donate to UNICEF (the UN Children's Fund) rather than the intended recipient, Cancer Research UK.
"If you donate using this app through a smartphone, this kind of mistake can never happen," Ibarra adds.
Jerwood says that emergency appeals are one of the most successful ways of fundraising with text messaging because the response is immediate and easy, and apps could be used in a similar way.
"Apps are definitely interesting. Charity donors are currently spending a considerable amount of time in apps. Hopefully, as happened with SMS five or so years ago, the revenue cuts for in-app payments will be removed and open up the possibility of true in-app donation," Jerwood says.
The app can be downloaded in Windows Phone, Apple App and Google Play stores.

Stiff Wisniewski, '68
Distinguished Alumna, 2001
In June, 2001, Brenda (Stiff) Wisniewski, '68, was honored with the
Distinguished Alumna Award for her focus on education. For
Brenda, attending Park was a significant step toward building the
determined, yet caring, spirit that has guided her career and personal
life. When Brenda entered Park, she followed her interests (as it turned
out, not her passion) and declared herself a music major. Her
involvement with Park Singers and the music department gave her a deep
appreciation of music that comes with education — and that appreciation
outlasted the duration of her status as a music major.
According to Brenda, "Fortunately, I met Flo Crawford, head of
the Park Economics Department, who opened up a new world for me. Her
unorthodox way of teaching economics captured my imagination, and her
independence captured my spirit." Because of Crawford's tutelage, Brenda
has applied both imagination and independence to her career, which has
culminated at Arthur Andersen (AA). Brenda comments, "The fit [with AA]
was perfect as I don't know of any other company that encourages and
molds these characteristics to create win-win situations for its people
and its clients."
Crawford helped shape her career, Brenda's husband, David Anthony
Wisniewski, '69, is described by Brenda as "the central force" in her
life. David and Brenda met at Park in their junior year, married that
summer, and he has been her best friend ever since. Each has followed
the other to new cities as their careers have progressed, but always as
a partnership. David's pride is evident in his comments: "Brenda was
always successful in her career, quickly progressing to Assistant Vice
President and
officer of Crum & Forster, the fifth largest US property-casualty
insurance company…and then she was elected the first woman president of
the Insurance Marketing & Advertising Conference and the first person to
be asked to serve a second term. But it was in Chicago at Arthur
Andersen where she really hit her stride."
Brenda earned an MBA from the University of Chicago ('87) in two
years while working full-time. She helped AA take three new businesses
to market before she was asked by the firm's Worldwide Managing Partner
to work for him and help define how AA could continue its success into
the 21st century. Two years later, she was elected partner. As difficult
as it was to earn a degree and build a career while traveling the globe,
Brenda also found time to devote to one of her passions — helping
improve the quality of life for others. She was a Board member for Grant
A Wish, an organization dedicated to helping families in need. Each
Christmas, she worked to find the gift requested by underprivileged
children. Her last year in Chicago, she either found donors or bought
and wrapped Christmas gifts for over 250 children. Now in Atlanta, she
provides pro bono work for Junior Achievement, helping the organization
use Web and broadband technologies to support teaching by business
volunteers. Brenda also serves on the Boards of Women in Technology
International (WITI) and Georgia Academy of Charter Schools. Recently
she started working with the US Commission on Web-Based Education.
Brenda's mother always thought she would be a teacher. While
that wasn't in the cards, Brenda's focus today is on education, both
personally and professionally. She is Managing Director, Strategic
Learning Solutions, a global service that helps both businesses and
educational institutions use technology to make learning accessible to
anyone, anywhere at anytime. She presented this vision to AA management
in 1997. They supported the idea with funding and resources. Today,
learning clients span the globe from Atlanta to England, Israel and
Singapore. Given Park's commitment to excellence and its leadership in
distance learning, Brenda and Park President Don Breckon have been
exploring opportunities for the two organizations to deliver education
together, bringing Brenda's Park experience full circle.

After a tense decade of air raid sirens, duck-and-cover drills and fears of Soviet superiority, hope for America came in an unlikely form in the late 1950s: a lanky, 23-year-old Texan with a head full of curls and huge hands that ranged across a piano keyboard with virtuosic power.
With his transcendent performances of Tchaikovsky's First and Rachmaninoff's Third piano concertos, Van Cliburn brought 1,500 Russians to their feet in a Moscow concert hall.
Declared the victor of the first International Tchaikovsky Competition, the young American became a hero of the Cold War era and an object of adoration around the world, whose fame helped bring classical music to the masses.
After the humiliation of Sputnik, Americans declared a cultural victory with Cliburn. Dubbed the "American Sputnik," he was feted like no other classical musician before him, with a ticker-tape parade in New York City and fan clubs to rival a movie idol's.
Cliburn, whose breakthrough success in 1958 made him one of the world's most celebrated pianists, died Wednesday of bone cancer at his Forth Worth home, said his publicist, Mary Lou Falcone. He was 78.
He kept up a frenetic schedule of more than 100 concerts a year for two decades, until retiring from the performance circuit in 1978. In the mid-1990s he embarked on a long-anticipated comeback tour that drew poor reviews.
A child prodigy, Cliburn was taught by his pianist mother until he entered Juilliard School of Music in New York in 1951 at age 17. Three years later he won the prestigious Leventritt international competition, which earned him solo engagements with the New York Philharmonic and other orchestras.
But he remained little known outside music circles before arriving in Moscow in 1958.
Competing against 49 other pianists from 19 countries at the first Tchaikovsky International Piano and Violin Festival, the technically brilliant Cliburn created a sensation with the romantic sweep of his playing in the first two rounds of the competition.
By the time he came on stage to play in the final round, "the crowd had become nearly hysterical," Chicago Tribune arts critic Howard Reich wrote in "Van Cliburn," his 1993 biography. "Roughly 1,500 people had jammed the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory; thousands more waited outside."
Instantaneous ovations greeted Cliburn's playing of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, Reich wrote, and his performance of a new solo piece required of all finalists, a rondo by Soviet composer and contest judge Dmitry Kabalevsky, earned him a standing ovation.
But when Cliburn finished Rachmaninoff's technically difficult Third Piano Concerto, the audience erupted into a thunderous standing ovation that continued after he left the stage. Then the jury stood and joined in. Two judges even jumped up and hugged each other.
"A boyish, curly-haired young man from Kilgore, Texas, took musical Moscow by storm tonight," a New York Times correspondent reported. "Mr. Cliburn is clearly the popular favorite and all Moscow is wondering whether an American will walk off with top honors."
The jury, particularly the Soviet and Soviet bloc judges who would cast the deciding votes, feared the consequences of awarding the prize to an American.
According to Reich's book, the Soviet minister of culture took that question all the way to the top — to the chairman of the Council of Ministers, Nikita Khrushchev.
"What do the professionals say about him? Is he the best?" Khrushchev asked.
"Yes, he is the best," the minister of culture replied.
"In this case, give him the first prize," Khrushchev said.
Trumpeted on the cover of Time magazine as "The Texan Who Conquered Russia," the rangy, 6-foot-4 Cliburn was besieged by screaming admirers in cities where he appeared. And after he played before audiences of more than 80,000 on two nights in Chicago, the city's Elvis Presley Fan Club changed its name to the Van Cliburn Fan Club.
"He was bigger than a rock star," Reich told The Times last summer. "Very few rock stars get an invitation to the White House and the Kremlin. This was so beyond anything in American entertainment and culture."

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

By John Reynolds, mediaweek.co.uk, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 10:33AM
Previously, articles from The Times and The Sunday Times did not appear in Google search rankings, in a move which coincided with company chairman Rupert Murdoch's strategy of charging readers for online access to the titles' content.
But now News International has instigated a shift in strategy, which it is billing as a marketing move designed to encourage more people to sign up to its paid-for websites.
The most recent figures for The Times and The Sunday Times show a total of 131,000 digital subscribers across all platforms.
From next month, users will be able to access the first few sentences of articles in the quality titles. Readers will still have to subscribe to read the full article.
Once users click through, they will go to a preview of the article and then to details of how to subscribe.
News International originally pulled content from Google in 2010.
At that time, The Times and The Sunday Times slipped from view on social media due to the complete nature of its paywall, which, unlike the metered systems used by The New York Times and the Financial Times, gives non-subscribers no access to content.
The News International approach is not used by other News Corp titles, with both The Australian and The Wall Street Journal using metered paywalls and being visible in Google rankings.Follow @johnreynolds10

Small Business Owner On Why Walker Must Go

Martin speaks with Lynn Freeman of United Wisconsin, a group leading the recall effort.

Norway captain Brede Hangeland is reluctant to pick any favourites to advance from Group E in European Zone qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, but is confident he and his team-mates have what it takes to make it. Egil Olsen's side open their campaign in Iceland on Friday, in a group that also features Albania, Cyprus, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The latter pair in particular will fancy their chances of making it through to the finals, but Hangeland does not want to start making predictions. However, the Fulham defender is sure that if Norway play to their potential, they are good enough to emerge from the group and compete in what would be their first major tournament for 14 years.
Asked about who the favourites are in Group E, Hangeland told Fotball.no: "Switzerland have been mentioned, but I find it difficult to answer. We might have trouble naming many of the Slovenian players, but they probably have a very good team.
It will be a very tough game, a game for men.
"All matches will be difficult. This is a very even group. We should be happy that we avoided the top nations, but there are no easy opponents in the pot. It is not impossible to qualify. If we play to our best, we are good enough. We need to focus."
Hangeland expects a testing assignment for the team in Reykjavik. He stressed: "The most important thing for us in this qualification campaign is that we have maximum winning mentality, which will be very important in the first match against Iceland. It will be a very tough game, a game for men."
After the Iceland game, Norway face Slovenia at home on Tuesday and then both Switzerland and Cyprus away in a double-header in October.
Olsen demands home success
Speaking about his hopes and expectations for his side, head coach Olsen said: "It's a tough opening for us, and six points can be good, although it depends on how we get them.
"A win against Slovenia and drawing the other three games would be a good start, but if we lose against Slovenia, that is not good. The most important thing is what we do at home. We will be in trouble if we give away too many points at the Ullevaal Stadion."
Friday's other Group E games see Slovenia host Switzerland and Albania entertain Cyprus.

Photoshop is the world's most powerful image editor, and it's arguably the most complex, as well. Fortunately, nobody knows the program like award-winning book and video author Deke McClelland.

This chapter deals with one of the most fundamental topics in all of Photoshop. Changing and managing the number of pixels inside an image. To fully understand this topic, you need to come to terms with the concept of image size. Image size refers to the dimensions of an image, how many pixels wide by how many pixels tall. As we'll see, image size also includes print size which is how many inches or if you prefer centimeters wide by tall. Print size is a function of resolution which is how many pixels print inside an inch.
Scaling an image often involves changing the number of pixels. This means throwing away pixels or making up new ones, a process known as re-sampling. If all this sounds tedious and technical, well you're right. But you have to know it, which is why I've constructed some spell-binding images that will so distract your attention. You won't even notice the golden nuggets of information seeping painlessly into your brain. Enjoy!

Arizona United coach says World Cup is exciting time around the globe
PHOENIX -- It's a big sports day around the globe, as the World Cup soccer tournament gets underway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Thursday.
"It's life and death for a lot of people, emotionally," said Michael Dellorusso, the head coach of the Arizona United Soccer Club. "It's a very exciting time around the world."
But just how popular is the World Cup?
"I like to compare it to the Super Bowl and how big people think that is here," Dellorusso said. "I would say the Super Bowl is about one-tenth of the World Cup, (regarding) what it means to people around the world."
There will be some great teams to watch during the World Cup.
"Brazil, Spain and Germany are probably the three favorites," said Dellorusso.
He said that Team USA has a chance for a good showing in the tournament.
"We have a great group of young guys and experienced guys," Dellorusso said. "We have two out of the top five teams in the world in our group, with Germany and Portugal. I think it's very important for us to get a result in the first game. Anything can happen from there on out."
Dellorusso said that some new soccer stars will become stars in this tournament.
"The best part about a World Cup is that it's when a lot of guys come out of their shell and a lot of new stars emerge," he said.
Dellorusso also added that you don't have to go all the way to Brazil to see some great soccer in person this week. At the Peoria Sports Complex on Saturday, the Arizona United will host Rochester and then next Wednesday, they'll host the L.A. Galaxy. To see their complete schedule, click here.

UK doctors back medical pot
England's doctors still want to prescribe cannabisBy Dana Larsen - Wednesday, January 10 2001
A survey of 1,000 UK doctors by Medix UK found that over 80% would prescribe cannabis for some ailments if allowed to do so. 54% claimed the current pot laws are too strict, and about a third backed immediate legalization. 44% believed marijuana caused less health problems than tobacco, alcohol, prescribed drugs and banned drugs.
A 1997 report by the British Medical Association backed making cannabis a prescription drug.

Master plan to revamp and modernise Zambia Railways is ready.
A NEW board at Zambia Railways Limited (ZRL) has been unveiled with plans to modernise railway infrastructure as part of its master plan to be implemented in the next three years.
The board is chaired by former task force on corruption chairperson Mark Chona and economist Oliver Saasa is deputy.
Others are Communication and Transport Permanent Secretary Muyenga Atanga and his Commerce and Trade counterpart Stephen Mwansa as well as Finance Permanent Secretary in charge of Budget, Pamela Chibonga.
Others on the board are Solicitor General Musa Mwenye, Road Transport and Safety Agency director Zindaba Soko, a consultant Joram Mwansa, a lawyer Irene Zeko Mbewe, Geoffrey Mulenga, a mechanical engineer, and Richard Chipanama, a former ZRL employee.
Speaking during an induction ceremony in Lusaka yesterday, Mr Chona said the vision of the ZRL board in partnership with management was to make the railway industry profitable, efficient and viable.
"This is a big task that we have been given, especially that President Michael Sata wants to see this railway industry viable. We want to look at what ZRL needs, how it will be revamped," he said.
Earlier, Dr Atanga implored the board to be innovative and work prudently to achieve the targeted goals.
ZRL chief executive officer Clive Chirwa said his management had an ambitious programme of resuscitating the railway firm and modernising it in the next three years.
Government recently revoked the concession agreement of the Railway Systems of Zambia (RSZ) and placed it under ZRL.
Meanwhile, Adrian Mwanza reports that Dr Atanga has said ZRL would embark on an ambitious programme of acquiring state-of-the-art locomotives to make the firm more viable and reduce hauling of goods on the roads.
He said this when he appeared before the Parliamentary Committee on Government Assurances at Parliament yesterday, chaired by United Party for National Development Itezhi Tezhi Member of Parliament, Greyford Monde.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama says the world has lost an influential, courageous and 'profoundly good' man with the death of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela.
Obama says Mandela "no longer belongs to us. He belongs to the ages." Mandela died Thursday at the age of 95.
Speaking from the White House, Obama said he was one of the countless millions around the world who was influenced by Mandela.
Obama met with Mandela's family earlier this year when he visited South Africa. But he did not meet with the ailing leader, who was hospitalized throughout the U.S. president's visit.
