What is American Conversations?
American Conversations – or "Amcon" as it is known on campus – is an interdisciplinary learning community for students interested in an in-depth exploration of America. Like all of St. Olaf's signature Conversations programs, Amcon introduces students in their first two years of college to the liberal arts through an integrated sequence of four courses (one course each semester in a student's first and sophomore year) that examine American history and culture. Thomas Jefferson wrote that his dream for American education was "to enable the people to understand what is going on in the world that to keep their part of it going right." This dream lies at the core of the Amcon mission, which is not only to look closely at America's history, values, and role in the world, but to continue to question what American values should be. What do we mean when we talk about freedom, rights, and justice for all? Where did the American Dream come from, and as importantly, where is it going?
American Conversations is an interdisciplinary program in the sense that over four courses, students will have been introduced not just to America but to liberal arts education more broadly. They will approach the American story from a historical, literary, artistic, cultural, and social scientific point of view. In the process, students will also develop skills in writing, public speaking, and most important, critical thinking. In addition, Amcon is a learning community where students get to know each other better not only by taking courses together but by living in a common dorm in their first-year, and by participating in dinners, field trips and other social events. In Amcon, the conversation might begin in the classroom but will often continue at dinner, at a trip to a Twin-Cities museum, or in the dorm. Most of all, Amcon is a community where students learn by having conversations – with their professors, with the material, and with each other.
Admissions: How do I get into the American Conversations program?
Once you have been admitted to St. Olaf, you can apply to the American Conversations program though the Admissions Office'sApplication Status Page (admissions.stolaf.edu/status). If you decide you'd like to join the American Conversations program, go to that webpage and answer some questions about yourself, your academic interests, and your interest in the program. We will fill the 38 available slots based mainly on how closely your interests fit with the spirit and goals of the program. You will be notified by mail whether you have been admitted, usually within a few weeks of applying. Though we will accept applications into the summer months prior to your coming to St. Olaf, we urge you to apply earlier rather than later in order to insure a place in the program. All students admitted to the program will be assigned to the "Amcon" first-year dorm for that year. The shared living arrangement allows the conversations to continue outside the classroom and helps create friendships among Amconners. (If, for some reason, you wish to be in Amcon but be housed in a different dorm, you may request that option).
Because American Conversations and the Great Conversation are both first-year and sophomore programs, you may not be in both Amcon and Great Con. However, you are free to combine Amcon with one of our other two sophomore-only Conversations programs, Asian Conversations and the Science Conversation.

Company Snapshot
In 2012, Hakan left Peak Games to start Lidyana.com. Lidyana is the leading online jewelry and accessories ecommerce company in Turkey. Recognized as "Turkey's Hottest Start-up" by Wired UK September 2012 issue, celebrity endorsement and effective relationships with bloggers and other social media have supported the company high brand awareness with relatively low spend. He currently serves as Lidyana.com's CEO.
Peak Games Snapshot
Peak Games is taking online gaming in the Middle East to unprecedented heights. Founded in October 2010 by one of Turkey's top internet entrepreneurs, Sidar Sahin, and former Endeavor intern, Hakan Bas, Peak Games is bringing top quality Facebook games to emerging markets. Today Peak has two business lines: translating games and adding local elements in order to adapt games to the culture of their target audience ("Publishing"), and developing games ("In-house development"). Today, more than a third of Turkey's 30.7 million Facebook users have played a Peak game. Until recently Peak has only targeted the Turkish market and it is already among the top six gaming companies globally with 5.9 million Daily Active Users (DAU). With the recent release of two Arabic games, the first exceeding two million users within a month, and one Spanish game, Peak is now executing its strategy of developing social games for emerging markets around the world. With offices in Turkey, Spain, Germany, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, Peak expects further regional expansion and successfully launched a mobile line in 2012.
Together Hakan and Sidar possess the creativity to develop top games and the diligence to run a multi-million dollar company. With a B.A. in Economics from Cornell and an MBA from Yale's School of Management, Hakan worked as an investment banker for three years before he met Sidar, a successful Turkish internet entrepreneur. The two became fast friends after another Turkish internet entrepreneur, Demet Mutlu, introduced them. One evening Sidar shared his idea for a Turkish social gaming company with Hakan. Three days later, Hakan left his VP role at Garanti Bank and rented a small apartment to serve as Peak's office.
With US$1 million pooled between the entrepreneurs and Demet, Peak acquired Okey, a Turkish Facebook game with 3.5 million users but virtually no monetization. Peak set about adding virtual goods and exclusive VIP levels for purchase. Three weeks later Safa Sofuoğlu, Okey's original developer, quit his PhD program and became Peak's CTO. Safa recruited his former professor and soon had a team of the top engineers from Ankara's Universities. In December 2010 Peak published its first game, Komşu Çiftlik, a Turkish version of the popular Barn Buddy. Peak advertised the launch within Okey and Komşu Çiftlik made tens of thousands of dollars in the first 10 days. Within the six months that followed Peak bought two small Turkish game studios and a handful of individual games to monetize, in addition to publishing five games for the Turkish market.
Both Peak's publishing and in-house developing take popular trends and customize them to make games that appeal to a specific market, which includes not only language translation, but the addition of local cultural features and edited artwork, eliminating the sensation of foreignness for their target users. The original Barn Buddy has two million monthly active users (MAU) globally and zero Turkish users, while Peak's Turkish version has three and a half million MAU. From offices in Jordan, Spain and Germany, Peak scouts the latest global trends and accesses creative talent that is in short supply in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Peak's success in emerging markets is in part due to the lack of social opportunities in Middle Eastern territories compared to the West: Peak offers subscription-based membership for its games, allowing users to create avatars and enter chat rooms. This creates a new and attractive way to socialize for emerging market populations with steadily rising disposable incomes but still conservative social habits. Back in Turkey, the entrepreneurs' reputations, competitive salaries and a creative work environment attract the top software and computer engineering graduates. Thanks to new data intelligence software, Peak learns more about its market with each game it releases.
Sidar and Hakan have executed admirably since late 2010: assembling a top team, using its exclusive platform of 16 million Facebook users and its familiarity with MENA culture to target the region's Facebook population of over 50 million, which is projected to exceed 250 million in 2015. Peak is well positioned to partner with other international companies looking to expand in the region, while developing its platform for cross-promotion and market research. In February of 2012, Peak acquired the Saudi gaming company Kammelna, cornering another market with immense potential. Peak also has plans to expand into emerging markets in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, while maintaining its delivery of top-quality, locally tailored games to the MENA area.

i can't figure out how to use this.
Let's say you're in T9 mode and you want to type "Hello". You simply click number key where each letter is located once and as you're typing T9 will guess the word that you want. So for "Hello" you'd type 4-3-5-5-6 and T9 will guess the word "Hello".
If you were NOT in T9 mode you would have to hit 4 twice to get to the letter H, hit 3 twice to get to the letter E, hit 5 three times get the L, hit 5 another three times to get another L and then 6 three time to get O.

Not much to watch in this one, but there's a few fringe prospects for the die-hard draftniks to watch.
* The top prospect for Southern Miss is defensive tackle Anthony Gray. He's not much of an athlete, but has the size to play nose tackle. He could come off the board late in the draft, and could be a serviceable backup in a 3-4 system.
* Louisville's top prospect is cornerback Johnny Patrick. He's slightly undersized but has the speed to stick with anyone. He emerged as arguably the top cornerback in the Big East this year.
* The top offensive prospect to watch is Louisville running back Bilal Powell. He came from nowhere to take the starting job away from Victor Anderson and has posted one of the best seasons in Cardinals history. His size (6'0″, 215 lbs) and speed makes him an intriguing prospect. He looks like a mid-round pick right now, but could certainly climb with an impressive showing tonight and in offseason workouts.

In backyards and on balconies, in community gardens and in school gardens throughout Evanston, lettuce and spinach are bolting, bunches of green tomatoes are showing a blush of red, and tiny green beans and cucumbers hang on vines. This year's cool, wet weather has made it a great year to grow food in Evanston, especially lettuce.
Sometimes gardeners grow a little (or a lot) more food than they know what to do with. Edible Evanston has the ideal solution for surplus produce grown right here in our city. For the third summer the group is collecting produce grown in Evanston and distributing it to those in need through two partner food pantries.
Edible Evanston has expanded to four convenient drop-off locations where gardeners can bring herbs, greens, vegetables and fruits that would otherwise go to waste. The program initially focused on Evanston Community Gardeners but now accepts contributions from all residents with excess produce.
In South Evanston, Tuesday-Wednesday:
• James Park Community Gardens
• The entry at the Levy Community Center, 300 Dodge Ave.
Edible Evanston collects produce starting each Tuesday at 5 p.m. until 1:00 p.m. each Wednesday when volunteers bring the produce to Harvest Food Pantry at 2495 Howard St. to feed hungry families.
In North Evanston, Friday-Saturday:
• McCormick Community Gardens (McCormick Boulevard at Bridge Street).
• Twiggs Community Gardens (Simpson and Bridge streets)
Coolers are set out on Friday evening and produce is collected from these coolers at Noon each Saturday when volunteers bring it to the Hillside Food Pantry at 2727 Crawford Avenue.
Faith Albano, Hillside Pantry's Coordinator of Food Distribution and Food Rescue says "We are so thankful to Edible Evanston for the fresh produce! It helps provide food to people who don't normally get fresh produce."
In 2013 nearly 450 pounds of produce-from feathery dill to weighty squash-was saved from waste and shared with families in need. The group aims to double that in 2014.
"Edible Evanston's food sharing program has solved my gardening guilt," say Tim Sonder, a backyard gardener. "I can't resist all the varieties in seed catalogs in January, but there's a limit to what we can eat, freeze, can and pickle. Now we can grow as much as we want and know it's reaching people in need."
Edible Evanston has its roots as one of the "Ten Big Ideas" of the Evanston 150 anniversary organization. The group holds educational workshops to assist and encourage growing food in Evanston and was instrumental in developing the Eggleston Anniversary Orchard in Eggleston Park on McCormick Boulevard. A 2014 grant from the Evanston Community Foundation will allow it to nearly double the number of fruit trees and bushes in the orchard in the next year.

Polygons, polygons, as far as the eye can see. That was the surreal view that greeted the Mars Phoenix Lander when it touched down on the Red Planet's enigmatic northern plains on 25 May.
Phoenix landed well inside the planet's arctic circle, in a region where permanent ground ice is believed to lie very near the surface. Such ice may have made the polygon pattern pictured.
In polar regions on Earth, these polygons form with the seasonal expansion and contraction of ground ice. When the ice becomes very cold it contracts and fractures in geometric patterns, like cracks in desert mud. If they fill in with material, such as dry Martian dust, the ground ice will have no room to expand again when the temperature rises. The ground ice buckles as a result, producing low mounds.
The polygons suggest that ice is within 30 centimetres of the surface - well ...

High School Football Comes With Injuries
One big concern as high schoolers head to the practice fields for football this year. MVC Commissioner, Terry Erickson.
Erickson says the changing tides in the sports world means that contact may be different than it's been in the past. Many Wisconsin coaches said concussion concerns have meant changes in how teams prepare for the games. Practices have a lot more running and a lot less hitting.

John Rogers and his class onboard the Nantucket Lightship
In the upcoming Preservation's "Past Present Future" department, we highlighted John Rogers and his fourth-grade classes at East Boston's Curtis Guild School who made the Nantucket Lightship Museum (one of our National Treasures) more than just a field trip.
Before his class arrived at the dock for the first time in the fall of 2011, Rogers prepared articles to teach his students about the ship, and even wrote a song about its history which the class performed on deck for the museum's staff.... Read More →

Here comes the rain again…
The weather has been anything but calm across the D.C. region this year with well-above normal precipitation. Adding to the growing yearly totals, more rain will arrive next week.
Although no major weather events are on the horizon, a few rainy days are on the horizon for next week. A deep southwesterly flow will combine with a cold front currently in the Plains that is heading east. The strong upper-level jet stream, or zone of strong winds high in the atmosphere, ahead of the front will allow rain to arrive Tuesday and continue through Wednesday. A low pressure will develop along the front as it moves across the Interstate 95 corridor, enhancing the rainfall. Before all is set and done Wednesday evening, 1 inch appears likely in the District with up to 1.50 inches in the Potomac Highlands. This amount of rain will likely erase the going November rainfall deficit while the yearly departure remains above average.
With that in mind, let's break down the monthly precipitation departures from average starting with January for the official weather recording station in Washington, D.C., Reagan National Airport. The surplus in precipitation in August and September is attributed to Hurricane Irene and the remains of Tropical Storm Lee.
|-0.96 inch
|-0.51 inch
|+0.80 inch
|+0.43 inch
|-2.12 inch
|-1.45 inch
|-0.63 inch
|+5.99 inch
|+5.12 inch
|+0.51 inch
|-1.21 inch
|+5.32 inch
Looking down the road, temperatures will likely remain near average with a hint of a colder pattern possible by the end of November/beginning of December. Fast zonal flow in the upper-levels of the atmosphere will likely drive Pacific cold fronts quickly across the country through the end of the month with rain chances at least once a week through the end of November. Since they likely won't have a Canadian or Arctic connection, temperatures in the wake of each front will only dip to slightly below average levels.
Be sure to stay tuned to ABC7 and WTOP for the latest forecasts.

World's Earliest Pit Barbecue?
Posted by: Dave DeWitt on Aug 16, 2009
Remains of a 31,000 year-old mammoth and her calf have been discovered in excavations in the Czech Republic, reports Jiri Svoboda, a professor at the University of Brno. The meats were cooked luau-style underground. Svoboda said, "We found the heating stones still within the pit and around." He believes that the central roasting pit and the circle of boiling pits "was sheltered by a teepee or yurt-like structure." The researchers also found many stone tools, such as spatulas, blades and saws, which were probably used to butcher the mammoths, which could weigh up to twelve tons. This is the earliest evidence found so far that early man invented the techniques still used today in Hawaii to pit-roast whole hogs. Contributing editor Mike Stines describes the technique in his article, here.
The whole hog luau.
In a related story, Neanderthals hunted mammoths and dried their flesh to make prehistoric jerky, reports Bent Sorensen, a researcher in the Department of Environmental, Social and Spatial Change at Roskilde University. But, he said, "I do not know of any evidence for (them) using salt." He believes that they boiled the meat first and then dried it. "As for preparation, boiling is much more efficient and nutrient-conserving than frying, and evidence from more recent Stone Age settlements confirm that meat was boiled in ceramic pots or skin bags," he said. "However, it is still likely that frying over the camp fire was the usual method in Neanderthal communities, since no containers for boiling have been found."

The term "arity" is primarily used with reference to operations. If f is the function f : Sn → S, where S is some set, then f is an operation and n is its arity.
Arities greater than 2 are seldom encountered in mathematics, except in specialized areas, and arities greater than 3 are seldom encountered in theoretical computer science (although in practical computer programming, it is common to define functions with more than 3 arguments). (In many computer programming languages, a "function" can also do other things in addition to returning a value, such as perform I/O to the console or a storage device, perform memory organization operations, etc., and so the mathematical "arity" of a program function is only defined by its number of calling arguments when the return value depends on all the arguments and only on them. Clouding the issue further is the fact that in many languages, a program function which evaluates a mathematical function may obtain mathematical arguments from other sources, such as global variables or shared memory, device input, or even the processor stack prior to the function's stack frame; whether these should be counted in the arity of the program function is not clear, and depends on one's perspective on defining the function. I.e., is the computer program "function" the code, or is it the mathematical component of the operation embodied in the code?)
In linguistics, arity is sometimes called valency, not to be confused with valency in mathematics.
Also, in non-functional programming, a function without arguments can be meaningful and not necessarily constant (due to side effects). Often, such functions have in fact some hidden input which might be global variables, including the whole state of the system (time, free memory, ...) The latter are important examples which usually also exist in "purely" functional programming languages.
All functions in lambda calculus and in some functional programming languages (especially those descended from ML) are technically unary, but see n-ary below.
?:, which is a so-called conditional operator, taking three parameters.
Forth also contains a ternary operator,
*/, which multiplies the first two (one-cell) numbers, dividing by the third, with the intermediate result being a double cell number. This is used when the intermediate result would overflow a single cell.
The same is true for programming languages, where functions taking several arguments could always be defined as functions taking a single argument of some complex type such as a tuple, or in languages with higher-order functions, by currying.
An alternative nomenclature is derived in a similar fashion from the corresponding Greek roots; for example, medadic, monadic, dyadic, triadic, polyadic, and so on. Thence derive the alternative terms adicity and adinity for the Latin-derived arity.
These words are often used to describe anything related to that number (e.g., undenary chess is a chess variant with an 11×11 board, or the Millenary Petition of 1603).

Lunch-n-Learn on Pain Management
March 07, 2012
Macon, GA - Coliseum Orthopaedic and Spine Institute will host a free lunch-n-learn on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 from noon to 1 pm on Pain Management. Managing pain is an important part of a patient's treatment and recovery from an orthopaedic disorder or injury. Pain can cause sleeplessness, depression and limitations on the patient's ability to move - all of which can slow down recovery. Local radiologist Dr. Arthur McCain and anesthesiologist Dr. Michael Fuller will discuss the least invasive and less potent measures for pain management, as well as, stronger approaches in the conference center at Coliseum Northside Hospital, 450 Charter Boulevard.
Lunch is included for this free event, but reservations are required. For more information or to reserve your space, call 478-746-4646.

Old Frisian thing "assembly, council, suit, matter, thing," Middle Dutch dinc "court-day, suit, plea, concern, affair, thing," Dutch ding "thing," Old High German ding "public assembly for judgment and business, lawsuit," German ding "affair, matter, thing," Old Norse þing "public assembly"). Some suggest an ultimate connection to PIE root *ten- "stretch," perhaps on notion of "stretch of time for a meeting or assembly."
For sense evolution, cf. French chose, Spanish cosa "thing," from Latin causa "judicial process, lawsuit, case;" Latin res "affair, thing," also "case at law, cause." Old sense is preserved in second element of hustings and in Icelandic Althing, the nation's general assembly.
Used colloquially since c.1600 to indicate things the speaker can't name at the moment, often with various meaningless suffixes, e.g. thingumbob (1751), thingamajig (1824). Southern U.S. pronunciation thang attested from 1937. The thing "what's stylish or fashionable" is recorded from 1762. Phrase do your thing "follow your particular predilection," though associated with hippie-speak of 1960s is attested from 1841.

I am fiinally installing Carrara 8 but when I enter the serial # that is in my account it keeps giving me an error saying the serial # is invalid. How do I get the serial number to work?
"If you get a chance….Take it! If it changes your life….Let it!. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."
Hi Kharma
If you've just bought Carrara 8,. then you may have Two versions of Carrara in your downloads,
The Carrara 8 , and the 8.5 beta.
The serial number from your Account, is for Carrara 8,.
Also,.. If you've copied the serial number from the web page,
try pasting it into a text document, and then copy that and paste it into carrara.
Sometimes you can accidentally pick up an extra space at the start or the end of the number.
If it's the 8.5 beta version you're downloading from your account, then the serial number is on the first page of the beta thread.
I finally figured out the 2 versions and got the right serial #, but it would not let me copy and paste it, I had to type it all in. that's the first time I couldn't paste a serial #.. So I only installed the C8 .5 Beta. I purchased the C8 standard version but I think I will return it (today my 30 days is up) and get the Pro version instead as the beta serial # expires Dec 12 I believe, unless they will extend that serial #. If I were to keep the standard version would I be able to get an upgrade to C8.5 pro when it is finally released?
HI Kharma
Glad to hear you got it figured out ,. getting two program versions, as well as all the bundled content,. has confused a few people.
You can use CTRL+C to copy, and CTRL+ V to paste the serial number into the little window.
the mouse right click menu for copy / paste, is sometimes disabled where serial key entry is concerned, for security reasons.
the beta serial # expires Dec 12 I believe, unless they will extend that serial
the beta serial # expires Dec 12 I believe, unless they will extend that serial
Hopefully, by the time the current beta serial number expires, we may have a new version of the beta to test,.
If not,. then the serial number will probably be extended again.
I think you should also install the C8 version, and the Carrara native Content,... basically because the beta is a test version.
If I were to keep the standard version would I be able to get an upgrade to C8.5 pro when it is finally released?
If I were to keep the standard version would I be able to get an upgrade to C8.5 pro when it is finally released?
Yes,. normally. if you own Carrara standard or pro, there would be an upgrade option available, when the next version is ready.
However,. I'm also assuming that Daz will have fixed the issues with the new store,. to allow those upgrade options,. or, create several different product pages, one for each version upgrade option,. as a work-around,.. ( which is a messy solution, ..but it's a solution. )
Upgrading from one Pro version, to the next Pro version,. is usually a wee bit cheaper than going from Standard to Pro.
Another reason I thought of switching to Pro was that it is 64 bit as opposed to 32. I did install the native content as the beta didn't come with any content as far as I could tell. I also installed something called render node but with further reading I don't think I needed it in my limited knowledge.
I wonder how long it will be before C8.5 is released?
Thanks for the help 3DAGE
64 bit is always going to be better.. if you have it . use it
The beta is normally supplied as a stand alone, (without the native content) partly to save the download time, and because it's not really needed to test how the main program works.
The Rendernode. is for network rendering,
if you were building a render farm you would install the rendernode on each system,
If not, then you don't need it, and you should un-install it. just to be tidy
I've no idea when the beta will be ready, but I think there's still some issues to be fixed, and the fact that we've not seen a new version for a while, makes me guess that we may get a new version to test, ...or we could just get another serial extension.
I've no idea on pricing. sorry.
No problem , glad to help

1 I made obj , and improt it daz stuido.
2 saved it as duf figure and prop .named it as "blendman.duf" , set product name, vendor name,, and it saved dsf in data too.
3 when export obj to ds,, ds often loose pivot point. anyway,, I use joint editor, to modify it.
so that load the prop by click blenderman.duf.
4 I have changed start point 0,0,0 already, then now I hope to modify end point. (it is just for test)
5 Now the end point is (0, 50, 0)
6 I translate end point to (0,80,0) (there is no meanig about 80, just do it)
7 of course I know, I need to "memorized selected node rigging" to freeze current posiotn. pic2
8 Ok,, I did it,, now the prop must change the end points positon of the node.pic3
9 yes,, I know,, I can use save modified assets. if I say I save it as figure and prop again,
you may say "why? You need not save it as figure and prop again, you can save modified assets"
do not you?
10 lets do "save modifeid assets" yes I believe my dsf change. It is OK. . then I click accept.
11 clear scene, and open new. then reflesh my content library.
12 try to load the prop again,, then how you do it? I believe I need to serch and click "blendman.duf"
when I saved the prop as "figure and prop." there is no way to load the modified prop.
13 So I load it,, but when I click prop by joint editor tool,, the end point do not keep my modification.
it return the end positon value which I saved prop at first time
OK I can use restore figure. it may called the end point positon saved as dsf in data.
but why it change my saved status?
14 these mistake often happen when I tweak something and "save modified assets".
I must saved modified assets, and change the dsf in data,,
But I need to load the dsf by saved duf (subset), and duf load the value when which saved .
15 so that,,after save modfied assets, I think I need to save the prop as new duf (subset) again,
to load corectly.
is it wrong? (I know there are several cases,, but when I tweak rig,, I think so)

My grandson likes my meatloaf, and I don't really cook where I measure things out.
I take equal parts of ground beef, and ground pork and I mix that with some egg, Italian style breadrumbs, and ketchup.
I mix that all together, and bake it in a 350 degree oven for one hour. The ketchup keeps it moist as well as gives it a nice flavor.

This is one of the salads we did for my daughters wedding. But instead of the ramen noodles, we used the crunchy chinese noodles instead so you can leave off the butter because the noodles don't have to be saute'd. Its killer and I still make this when I have a pot luck to go to.
Crunchy Romaine Toss
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles, broken
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli
- 1 small head romaine lettuce, torn
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In a jar with a tight-fitting lid,
combine the sugar, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper; shake well. Discard seasoning packet from noodles or save for another use. In a skillet, saute noodles in butter until golden. In a large bowl, combine noodles, broccoli, romaine and onions. Just before serving, toss with dressing and walnuts.
Here's one that even I can handle;
1) Get can of soup.
2) Open said can of soup and pour into a bowl, being careful to not slop a bunch of it onto the counter.
3) Put bowl with soup into microwave oven.
4) Set timer for 1:40 and push start button.
5) Retrieve bowl of soup from microwave and set on table.
6) Get spoon.
7) Enjoy soup.
Now that wasn't so hard, was it?
Rob, you are one step ahead of my husband .

Alright you guys... here's one that even Rob can do! This is a cake my mom use to make. Its super simple and so moist and delish it doesn't even need frosting!
CHOCOLATE MAYONNAISE CAKE 2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup real mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cold water
Preheat oven to 350°F.In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add vanilla, mayonnaise and water. Beat until smooth.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 13x9-inch pan.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean (about 30-35 minutes).
That's sounds really easy Jody.
Most of the time, I use boxed cake mixes, and can frosting.

Ok, here's my spaghetti recipe, also known as 'paghetti and meat bulbs'.
In a deep-dish saucepan, cook up about a pound of hamburger. I usually get the lean stuff, 85/15 or even leaner.
Making the hamburger into actual meatballs takes longer, so I usually just fry it up.
Drain the grease off. If the meat was lean enough, this step can be skipped.
Next, pour in a can of tomato sauce, 16 ounce.
Also, a small can of tomato paste, 6 ounce.
Now, all you experienced cooks feel free to laugh, but this is how I make it.......
Next, dump in a bunch of sugar. 1/2 cup or so.....I don't know exactly, just part of a scoop.
Mix it all together, and if the sides of the pan are steep enough it won't slosh out all over the stove.
Kids love it, mainly because of the copious amount of sugar, I like the sugar because it counteracts the acidity of the tomato sauce and paste.
That's right, no spices or anything like that, just plain and simple.
Um... I've never thought of adding sugar... but tonight on Worst Cooks in America Bobby Flay had them add some sugar to cut the heat on one of the dishes... might have to try that...
I watch Worst Cooks. I love that show, and Bobby Flay is great, as well as the lady too. My husband calls her Phyllis Diller.

It's funny, my mom and dad have always added sugar to spaghetti, so naturally I did too. But you're right, I've never seen anyone else add it.
My mom didn't make very good spaghetti. It was too soupy. I cheat, and use jar sauce. However, it is my grandson's favorite meal. I made some today.

Will Michigan meet Obama's new NCLB relief mandates?
Michigan may have to reapply for a waiver to get relief from the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandate that all students be proficient on state tests by 2014. New waiver request forms are due Nov. 14; approval can be expected as early as January 2012. A second round of waivers is due February 2012.
In July, the state applied for a 10-year waiver, asking that the 100 percent goal of proficiency be lowered to 80 percent. Michigan requested the waivers because the State Board of Education adopted higher standards for passing state exams—a move that the Board believes will mean more students will fail and not meet NCLB guidelines.
Last week President Obama announced states could receive wavers if they agreed to a series of reforms. To qualify, states must have rigorous evaluation systems for teachers and principals; must set high achievement standards that would make students ready for college or a career; and must develop strategies for turning around the low-performing schools.
Citing the law as a barrier to state and local reforms, Obama said states would have to intervene in the bottom 5 percent of schools and then identify another 10 percent of schools with low graduation rates and large achievement gaps. States and school districts could determine how they would use the federal funding for students in schools that don't meet NCLB standards. To overcome the concern that NCLB was too focused on punishing schools, states must also reward high-scoring schools.
State Superintendent Mike Flanagan was at the White House for Obama's announcement and said, "Michigan is a national leader in setting high standards that reflect the direction the President outlined. I'm confident that this new flexibility will allow our schools to continue to improve for the success of all students."
Even though Michigan has already adopted higher standards for state exams and a state commission is working on drafting new evaluation guidelines, it remains to be seen if it's enough to make the state eligible for a waiver. Education associations and other stakeholders must be involved in the development of the waiver request and the state must provide assurance that it has consulted with these groups. Given the current attacks on public school employees and their unions—could this be the requirement that sinks a waiver request?
Details of the waiver application process can be found at http://www.ed.gov/esea/flexibility. The application requirements are at http://www.ed.gov/esea/flexibility/documents/esea-flexibility-request.doc. The cover letter to chief state school officers is at http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/secletter/110923.html.

I've got the G700 and it's been just awesome for me. A lot of people don't like the textured sides so do try before you buy.
For those complaining about the battery life, if you aren't a twitch gamer, dropping the polling down from the max more than doubles the battery life in my usage.
I was a little worried about the new Logitech product refresh till I took a look at the PR release. It appears that all the G700s has that the G700 doesn't is a new paint job with a goofy stylized 'G' on top of it. I think I'll wait till the G700s is released & pick up a second G700 when they go on clearance.

1. You'll never find something as good as the g7. Get over it now or you'll be extremely disappointed.
2. Shape wise the Razer Mamba (and DeathAdder which is the wired version of the mamba) is the closest you'll get to g7 when it comes to wireless mouse.
3. Sadly mamba drivers are awful (dunno about DeathAdder).
4. As a past g7 lover i use the mamba and live with it's software shortcoming.
5. I hated the g700 with a passion. It's not even close to the g7. Not in the same league at all. I did not accept to settle for something less and decided to vote with my wallet. But do as you wish it's an okay mouse sold twice as much as it should be and designed by a team of incompetent. They took everything that made the g7 the undisputed best
wireless mouse ever and threw it in the garbage can.
6. You can find working g7s on eBay but be ready to pay up to 400$ for them (and some people actually do). But logitech is too dumb to see they should make a g7 version 2 instead of that g700 overpriced mouse.
7. Many people find the g700 to be a good mouse worth 100$. Try it who knows?
Posted 23 July 2013 - 06:57
5. Almost every recent gaming mouse/keyboard/headset has horrible build quality. We have to go back to 2004!
The build quality of the Mamba is awesome. Hardware wise it's an AWESOME and very well designed mouse. Close to be as good as the g7 hardware wise. Sadly it is plagued by awful drivers and firmware.

Maybe well designed, the G700s is well designed as well, but the build quality just like the other gaming mouses doesn't seem nowhere comparable to the mouses of some years ago. Just look at the amazon reviews, 3.5 stars average with many negative reviews made by people complaining about inconsistent build quality. The fact that the top-rated mouses on amazon/newegg are now the cheapest non-gaming notebook models says it all: something has clearly gone wrong with quality assurance in the last few years. After Microsoft left the peripherals market Logitech lowered itself to the (already abysmally low) average quality standards as the other manufacturers since they now had basically the whole market for themselves, and the results are clearly visible.

From hand colored images of Mount Rainier to the historic streets of early Moscow, Idaho, the Northwest Historical Postcards Collection displays unique and engaging images of people and places in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Northwest. Portraying locations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, British Columbia and Alberta, the collection offers a glimpse at the historical and cultural development of the western states, with rare depictions of turn-of-the-century buildings, thriving mining towns that later became ghost towns, and Mount St. Helens before the eruption.
This digital collection of over 800 postcards comes from the historical photograph collections of the University of Idaho Library's Special Collections & Archives. The postcards range in date from the 1890s to the 1980s and were given to the library by a wide variety of donors. The postcards were digitized and described by Annie Gaines in 2012-2013.
Postcards originated in Europe in the late nineteenth century as an inexpensive means of communication, and the cards quickly became popular in America. In the early twentieth century, the U.S. Post Office permitted the use of a divided back card, allowing for both a message and mailing address to be on one side making it possible for the entire front of the card to be used for an image. Since then, millions of color and black and white postcards have been mailed to family and friends across the country.

Tab 4
I am writing this testimonial following the treatment of my son by Dr. Ron Miller, of Pursuit Physical Therapy. My son is a competitive tournament tennis player who suffered from a debilitating back injury as a result of his tennis. After treatment by an orthopedic surgeon and various physical therapists, which included a long course of anti-inflammatory meds, my son was feeling no better. Worse yet, we never really had a diagnosis and were unable to pinpoint any maneuver that could decrease his pain. Finally we were referred to Ron Miller by a former patient.
Dr. Miller's evaluation was far more thorough than anything we had experienced prior to seeing him. He immediately ruled out several serious conditions that could have been the cause of my son's pain. He then was able to isolate which maneuvers exacerbated and more importantly relieved the pain. Once this was done, treatment began. In addition to his superior expertise, what differentiates Dr. Miller from his peers is his attention to detail and his focus on the individual patient. Over the years I have been to many physical therapists, and what I have seen is that most treat multiple patients at one time, with what often seems like a "cookie cutter" approach; a few exercises, heat and or ice, TENS, ultrasound, perhaps some traction and then goodbye. This is not the case with Dr. Miller, who spends the entire hour long session with only one patient, enabling him to individualize his treatment plan based on his diagnosis.
In addition it is clear that his advanced level of education and his degree in physical therapy (he has a DPT) places him above his colleagues, both as a diagnostician and a clinician. Finally, when we were discharged from his care, Dr. Miller's interest in my son did not end. Instead he maintained close contact with my son's fitness trainer, not only following up by telephone but also attending one of the fitness sessions to make sure the right exercises were being done for my son's condition. Overall it is my opinion that Dr. Miller takes the field of physical therapy to the highest possible level, and my only regret is I didn't find him sooner. I give Dr. Miller my highest level of recommendation.

Much is known about the factors which influence youth involvement in activities such as underage drinking, smoking, and drug use. However, to this point, there exists only limited theoretical and empirical research which focuses on the personal and social characteristics of adolescents who abstain from antisocial behaviour altogether. This study seeks to examine the personal attributes, impact of peers, and social bonds that influence refrainment from delinquency. This study uses the Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, Cycle 3, conducted in 1998-1999 to investigate the correlates of abstention. Prior research has established causal links between certain variables and abstention (such as few associations with delinquent peers, less autonomy, and strong academic inclinations). Moffitt (1993) argues that abstainers are more likely to be socially excluded from deviant peer groups based on their unappealing personal characteristics. This study attempts to ground the mixed results garnered from several studies regarding Moffitt's abstention hypotheses. Further, this study examines in more depth the direct, mediating, and interaction effects of several individual and social correlates of delinquency abstention. The results of this thesis indicate that negative traits are not consistently associated with abstention. As well, the strongest direct correlates of abstention are school commitment and relationship with parents. These appear to be mediated by delinquent peer associations. Suggestions for future research are discussed.

Such statistics tend to reflect what has been widely held as a positive link between technology and communication in an increasingly interconnected world. In short, advances in the ways people gather information about the world around them will unlock greater democratic potential. However, statistics on the pervasiveness and increased usage mobile phones amongst youth does not demonstrate the degree to which mobile news consumption influences youth engagement in civic or political activities, meaningful daily practices, and life in contemporary Canadian society. In order to better understand the reality of this link one must look beneath the surface of news consumption and examine the many ways in which youth negotiate their relationships to the social world. Interviews based on the daily habits and practices of students mobile news consumption, framed in terms of choice, ethics, and identity, revealed a more precise understanding of these relations. Based on this new information, the thesis concludes that pervasiveness of student mobile phone use is more than the overwhelming success of marketization. Instead, their use of these devices helps them to negotiate the rhythms of everyday student life. Not only do the students form intimate relationships with their mobile phones, they also utilize them to direct their energies toward a variety of civic and political issues through the frequent and unbroken exchange of information.

Colloquially referred to as the Westray bill, the legislation was passed in the fall of 2003 in response to the deaths of twenty-six workers at the Westray mine in 1992, a disaster caused by unsafe and illegal working conditions. Using twenty-three semi-structured interviews with individuals with knowledge and insight into the evolution of Canada's corporate criminal liability legislation, and transcripts from Canada's Parliament regarding the enactment of this law, the dissertation critically explores the constitution of corporate criminal liability – the factors that produce legal categorizations of corporate harm and wrongdoing. Of particular interest are the official discourses that shaped conceptualizations of corporate crime and corporate criminal liability and how these discourses correspond to the broader social-political-economic context. Drawing theoretical inspiration from Foucauldian and neo-Marxist (Althusserian) literatures, the dissertation argues that particular legal, economic and cultural discourses shaped, but did not determine, corporate criminal liability in Canada. In turn, these discourses are constitutive of class struggles over the role of the corporate form in extracting surplus labour and accumulating capital, the results of which helped stabilize, reproduce and transform the class-based capitalist social formation. Overall, the dissertation suggests that the assumptions that animated Canada's corporate criminal liability legislation and the meanings inscribed in its provisions throw serious doubt on its ability to hold corporations legally accountable for their harmful, anti-social acts. There is little reason to believe that the Westray bill will produce a crackdown on safety crimes, or seriously challenge corporations to address workplace injuries and death. While it will hold some corporations and corporate actors accountable – and thus far it has been the smallest and weakest – the primary causes of workplace injury and death (e.g., the tension between profit maximization and the costs of safety and the relative worth of workers/employees versus owners and investors) will continue.

Specifically, it explores how diffuse claims about school violence as a growing social problem are picked up and used by administrators and students at one Canadian university in ways that coalesce around understandings of a safe campus environment as necessarily technologically-mediated. The primary data used to facilitate this exploratory comparative analysis are publically available documents produced following public knowledge of an act of sexualized violence that occurred at that university in the summer of 2007. Together, I read these sets of documented claims as a security project that simultaneously represents changes made to campus environments in the name of safety as (1) preventative means to ensure student, faculty and staff safety, (2) reactions to socially meditated individual and institutional fears, and (3) constitutive of intertwining processes associated with corporatization and militarization. Two main claims that emerge from this comparative analysis are (1) that techno-securitized campuses are both responses to, and constitutive of, acts of violence, socially mediated fears and uneven distributions of power and (2) that university administrators and students co-narrate campus safety through an ongoing process of discursive negotiation and re-negotiation. Indeed, following the analyses presented in this dissertation, just as students are subject to administrative security-related consumption choices, so too are administrators subject to student-led claims about how best to achieve a safe campus environment. I suggest that these claims-making convergences and divergences oblige analyses that neither deny that techno-security measures are promoted in good faith by people hoping to make people safer nor ignore the importance of contextualizing these efforts in relation to processes which help constitute campuses as unsafe spaces, administrators and students as moral regulatory objects and subjects, and some solutions as more or less reasonable. When situated in relation to the sociological scholarship about moral panics, social problems, and moral regulation this case study draws to the fore the volatile, co-constructed and constitutive aspects of claims-making, with a notable focus on some of the economic forces that inform these discourses.

Guest Post: Peach Crumble for One from The Avid Appetite
Hi everyone! I'm Rachel. I blog about all things food over at The Avid Appetite and all things life over on The Peach & The Pit. I came across Lauren's fantastic blog a couple of months ago and was instantly over the moon for her unbelievable recipes and truly lovely photos. I'm so happy that she invited me to guest post!
There's something you should know about my life. My husband isn't a dessert lover.
Wait, that's an understatement. He doesn't really eat dessert at all. Which leaves me scrambling for my own desserts…just about all the time. When peach season arrived, I cooked up this peach crumble for one. Then I did a happy dance and maybe even shed a tear of joy. It's that good. It's buttery and fruity and just about one of the best things I've ever made. Or eaten. Juicy peaches, a sweet crumbly topping and cool, thick whipped cream make this dessert one that I'm happy to keep all to myself. You'll understand when you give it a try. Like tonight.
Peach Crumble For One
Print This Recipe
1 ripe peach, peeled & sliced
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp whole wheat pastry flour (or flour of your choice)
1 Tbsp old fashioned oats
1 Tbsp butter, cold & cut into pieces
pinch of salt
cooking spray
whipped cream (not optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a ramekin or other small oven safe dish with cooking spray (I use Baker's Joy with flour). Layer the sliced peaches in the ramekin. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top of the peaches and set aside. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, oats and salt. With your fingers, mix in the pieces of butter until the entire mixture is moist. Spread over the peaches. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve with whipped cream.
So there you have it. An easy peasy delicious dessert for one. I bet it would be equally as fantastic with cherries, berries, apples or plums! I'm off to try them now…
Question of the day: What is your favorite way to do dessert for one?

Following the success of its 2010 campaign, The Original Factory Shop is launching its 'Make A Difference' campaign for 2011 and is appealing to local causes to get in touch.
The campaign hopes to help as many causes in the community as possible by focusing on one a year.
Anyone wishing to nominate their organisation simply has to drop into the store at 41 High Street in the city and fill out a nomination form.

There is a minimum target of £500 looking to be raised for the chosen charity.
Store manager Phillip Need said: "The support we have had from the community has been fantastic and local people are really getting behind the campaign.
"We're asking for nominations and it really can be from anyone in Wells who needs a helping hand, whether it's a mothers and toddlers group, a local children's football team or a support group of whatever kind."
The deadline for nominations is Friday, November 26.
The company has raised £50,000 so far this year for more than 140 local causes UK wide.

Stay away from ford diesel, on other hand Cummins is a good engine. Unless you going to drive 35K miles a year buy a diesel RV.
I pull my toy hauler with a V10 F350 ford with no issues, those a great motors.
Let say you hurt the diesel and is not hard to do, the replacement cost could be up to $16K, gas V10 is a $4500.
Fuel consumption will not effect you much if you drive 10K a year vs extra cost at front for diesel powerplant.
Diesel maintenance is a more than gas and anyone and his brother can work on the gas motor.
I got 347K miles on my 06 F350 V10 and this truck pulls full time,no issues except normal wear.
Don't be afraid of the V10, change oil and drive, those engines like clean oil.
In a past I had 05 f350 with 6.0 pos in it and by time I hit 100K miles I had 7 egr coolers, two turbos, countless injectors and 3 new engines installed under warranty.All repairs add up to total cost of $84K all covered under warranty, I guess ford make a killing on this $41K truck,

When a teacher explained the meaning of woe", the Korean word for "why", some 10 middle-aged Japanese women said, aha.
This was in the beginners class at Sejong School, a school teaching Korean, on the fourth floor of the Korean Cultural Center in Tokyo. The women said this because they finally understood the meaning of a word that they heard a lot in Korean dramas.
One of the students was veteran Japanese actress Kumiko Akiyoshi, 57. She asked a lot of questions to the teacher whenever she could not understand. After the class, she and a Dong-A Ilbo reporter moved to a room next to the class room.
When the reporter said, Its an honor to meet you, she said, Its my honor, sir in Korean.
Dong-A: Why do you learn Korean?
Akiyoshi: My mom strongly urged me to watch (the hit Korean drama) "Winter Sonata" with her. In Korean dramas, a man cries with a woman. This was also true in Japan. After yakuza movies grew popular from 1970s, women had to follow men. Today, women go first and men follow suit. My mom died happily with Korean dramas about five and a half years ago. Recently, I spoke to Korean media professionals about the (Korean) movie "Crossing". I`d never shed tears watching a movie or a drama, but I cried after watching this film. It encourages people think about where we are now not with ideology but with family issues. Its a tragic movie that captured even a small detail beautifully. When I said so, they asked me to learn Korean. When I think Ive got to do something, I do it right away.
Dong-A: You are learning Korean. What do you think?
Akiyoshi: I learned how to read and write the Korean alphabet in just one month. Its a miracle. Ive never thought that I could do it. Learning a language brings history, culture and everything. I think its like opening a door. The Korean and Japanese languages are similar but Korean is more like an English alphabet and digital-friendly. It's a way of thinking in the era of information and communications. Korean is also a future-oriented alphabet. I guess this way of thinking makes Koreans stand at the center of the global stage.
Dong-A: As an actress, what do you think about Korean movies and dramas?
Akiyoshi: I love Yi San on NHK. It shows history, politics and academia. For example, its quite interesting to see people go to a foreign country on foot. That never happens in Japan. Its also interesting that the king studies really hard and holds a meeting with his subordinates at a library. Japanese historical dramas have never had such a scene. I was so touched by the scene when Park Dae-su's old neighbors called his name without his title, even after he became King Jeongjos royal guard. I couldnt wait for the next episode. I bought the book and read it right away.
Dong-A: What about anti-Korean sentiment in Japan?
Women are pretty tolerant of it. They quickly learn new languages. Men want to keep their identity. Thats why the Japanese are behind in English education. Many Japanese like Korea, so some raise questions about Japans identity. But I think its better to interact with a neighboring country much more. Adults have confidence in themselves while interacting with others. It`s childish to do ones own thing with a narrow mind. This applies to relationships, too.
Dong-A: Do you have plans to join a Korean-Japanese movie?
Akiyoshi: Im learning Korean too hard to get an opportunity (laugh). My name is Kumiko. In Korean, its a child that attracts attention. Im curious and attracted to relationships with Korea. I want to play an attractive role.

Zac Efron "Splits" From Lily Collins
"They're No Longer Together," Say Sources...
Good news Zac Efron fans – it sounds like the Hollywood heartthrob is back on the singles market!
The 'High School Musical' hottie, has reportedly split from actress Lily Collins after a three month romance.
"They're no longer together," a source told US Weekly.
"They were never serious, though; it was just a casual thing and it fizzled."
The pair were first rumoured to be an item back in February after being spied on a dinner date together at LA's STK restaurant.
But, it seems their busy movie careers stood in the way of true love blossoming!
"They were never in the same place at the same time," added the source.
"Their schedules are crazy right now, which isn't conducive to a relationship being easy."
