Steve Hochstadt: European newspapers have noted that Republicans portray Europe not as a kindred continent, but as the kind of dystopian society the US might become should the wrong person win.
Why China's Currency Announcement Is Hockum
Robert Reich: Don't be fooled into thinking that US companies will continue to make big profits from sales in China. China allows big U.S. and foreign companies to sell in China on condition that production takes place in China – often in joint ventures with Chinese companies. It wasn't American know-how, so it can eventually replace the US firms with China firms.
Obama, China, and Wishful Thinking About American Jobs
The dirty little secret on both sides of the Pacific is that both America and China are capable of producing far more than their own consumers are capable of buying. In the U.S., the root of the problem is a growing share of total income going to the richest Americans, leaving the middle class with relatively less purchasing power unless they go deep into debt.

For the first time in four years, the Edmonton Oilers will not be taking the first overall pick in the NHL Draft. Although they failed to make the playoffs for the seventh straight year, the Oilers managed to climb a bit farther up the ladder and landed at 24th in the league after the regular season. Soon after came the dismissal of General Manager Steve Tambellini, only to be replaced by former head coach Craig MacTavish, who is anticipated to make some big changes for the club.

Yakupov, Schultz among recipients of Edmonton Oilers prospect awards
Defensemen make up majority of Edmonton Oilers NCAA and European prospect group
The Edmonton Oilers had four prospects playing in Europe for the 2012-13 season, the most notable being defensive prospect Oscar Klefbom who, despite being injured for the majority of the 2012-13 season, is one of the Oilers' most anticipated defensive prospects. The Oilers also have defenseman Erik Gustafsson and a pair of goaltending prospects with Samu Perhonen and Frans Tuohimaa who are both showing signs of potential, although neither are quite blue chip prospects as of yet.

Welcome to "En Plein Air," the new Plein Air blog on American Artist's new online community! The former Plein Air section of www.myAmericanArtist.com lived off our main homepage for nearly a year, and during that time I enjoyed sharing Q+As with the top plein air painters in our country, tips on improving landscape-painting technique, articles on the plein air painters of the past, and news on regional landscape-painting events and exhibitions. I'm even more excited to be continuing that content on our new public forum, which will allow you to offer direct comments and feedback on the articles being posted, ask questions, and initiate forum discussions on the plein air artists, tips, and events that interest you most. The first "En Plein Air" blog post features our October Plein Air painter of the month, Arizona artist Curt Walters. Walters is renown for his plein air impressionist interpretations of the Grand Canyon and has been referred to as the greatest Grand Canyon artist of our time. But, as I learned in this recent interview with him, the Grand Canyon is not the only subject that inspires him. Whether he's deep in the rim of the canyon painting what he calls "the most sublime place on earth," capturing the mountains of Colorado, or traversing the hills of Tuscany, this artist has his plein air process down to a science, and he assures the rest of us that success as landscape painter results from staying true to the subject matter you love most and visiting other locales and landscapes to continually stay inspired.
Allison Malafronte: You are probably best known for your Grand Canyon landscapes, how long have you been painting the canyon, and what was your initial draw to it?Curt Walters: Being raised in the Southwest, Grand Canyon images were a constant part of the visual culture. My first actual experience with the Grand Canyon was at age 19. That extremely humiliating painting experience at that young age challenged me to learn the depth and form of the canyon. And, in an odd sort of way, that experience was an epiphany that ended up directing my work for most of my life. AM: Do you ever tire of painting the same subject matter, or do you find the inspiration renewing itself every time you paint?CW: I truly am renewed every time I see the Grand Canyon and its beauty. I am, however, inspired by many subjects and have traveled a great deal and painted large images of many other countries and subjects. But my Grand Canyon paintings have continued to receive the most attention and accolades. The Grand Canyon is simply the most sublime place on earth. AM: What are those other landscapes that you enjoy painting? What is it about a scene that draws you?CW: Over the years I have done a tremendous amount of paintings of the California landscape, the Intermountain Regions of Colorado, and the Colorado Plateau. Some of my favorite painting trips have included France, Canada, Switzerland, Italy, England, Bali, and Jordan. Regardless of the subject, the common thread in all my work is my need to know more about the subject itself. Beyond that I would say I have a tendency to paint the middle ground in almost all my landscapes, which is often the most avoided area by many landscape artists.
September Afternoonat Lake O'Haraby Curt Walters, oil, 36 x 36. Private collection.
Over the years I have noticed that the artists who have had the great privilege of jumping between subjects and styles find it difficult to establish a firm collecting base and reputation later in life. That can be an incredibly difficult and sometimes resentful choice as the years go on. I am incredibly envious of those artists who can follow their whims whenever they chose and, in many ways, I grieve heavily for those days of my youth when experimentation and subject matter were at the apex of my work.
AM: Is traveling important to you as a landscape painter?
CW: Yes, traveling is the most important thing that an artist can do, in my opinion. Painting new subject matter on the spot sharpens our skills, renews our attitudes, and makes the drudgery of the studio work easier to handle. I haven't even begun to fulfill my travel wish list. It is my lifelong dream to spend all of my time traveling and painting.
AM: Who would you say most influenced your painting style at the beginning of your training/career?
CW: My painting style was developed from both early critiques from the most academic of painters, Wilson Hurley, to the ideas of the most creative and instinctual painter I've ever known, Rod Goebel. Those two opposing approaches to painting, combined with a love of early French and American Impressionism still come screaming to the surface in the oddest of times.
AM: Who are you favorite landscape artists, past and present?
CW: I love the paintings of Guy Rose and Willard Leroy Metcalf. I have a great attraction to the work of John Singer Sargent. I love the palette and composition of Frederic Remington. I am absolutely nuts for any work by Claude Monet. My favorite Grand Canyon painter is Gunnar Widforss. This diverse list also comes with a great admiration for Albert Bierstadt and Frederick Edwin Church.
A very interesting interview, I learned a lot. Thank you! Val
Curt's paintings take my breath away! Thank you Allison for this article.
Gorgeous work.
If I could paint like Curt I would head west.
This Plein Air Blog is a great idea and you chose a very fine artist for the first installment. I loved seeing the large studio paintings, but I wish there had also been more photos of small plein air paintings. And a question for Curt---do you usually use one palette for your plein air paintings and what might that be? Is it quite a limited palette?
I love the idea of this blog. Very nice work, Curt. I saw the Grand Canyon for the firwst time this past spring and it took me about two hours to realize that it was real. It looked too big to be real, I was completely overwhelmed with the scale, distances and magnitude. I would love the opportunity to paint it. Amazing color.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Good to know about wanting to see more plein air sketches, Kathryn, that is something I can definitely start incorporating in future posts. It's oftentimes a lot easier in the print publication to show the plein air sketch next to the finished studio work because we have a lot more room in the layout, but we can certainly make sure the artists are sending a least a few on-site sketches to compare with the studio work that we post. Keep the comments coming, they're much appreciated and welcome!
I never thought of sticking to one subject only was as important as it seems to be. This turns out to be a very thought provoking interview and I thank you for it . I love the powerful paintings he does and was struck by the extremely evident change in style between Mile Four and the rest of the paintings; I wish this had been addressed in the blog.

That salad is a work of art. What an intresting visit this must have been. Love the pictures, as usual.
The photo of Jerry's hands reminds me of Yousuf Karsh's work; it's really stunning. Jerry, you are one beautiful soul to behold.
What a life, Jerry! Mark captured it perfectly. Loved seeing you and Remy together, the snake curling through the gold ring and all your special collections. I want to encase the salad nicoise in lucite, glue a magnet to the back and attach it to my refrigerator to remind me how to arrange it next time – beautiful like all your food, everything you touch, and YOU! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you Mark and Samantha for these amazing images and for a beautiful, peaceful day. Note: 2/10/2013 is the Chinese New Year and is The Year of the Snake. We are coming to the end of The Year of the Dragon.
Hello Mark and Jerry. Jerry – I am happy to see your chrome and vinyl chairs on your porch and your salad. It reminds me of manually spinning lettuce at your old apartment at convent. You look great! Mark – thank you for utilizing your talent to document Jerry. – Chris

The Bachelor
Who Should Be the Next Bachelor: Jef Holm, Sean Lowe, or Arie Luyendyk, Jr.?
Never mind Emily Maynard's choice — she already made it months ago and we'll see it play out in The Bachelorette Season 8 finale on July 22. (Side note: We can't wait!)
Assuming she picks one of her final three — Jef Holm, Sean Lowe, or Arie Luyendyk, Jr. — as opposed to keeping all of them in polyamorous love nest or losing her mind and dumping them all, we're going to be left with two decent options to be the next Bachelor. Yes, we've heard (and love!) the rumors that the gig is already going to Roberto Martinez, but it ain't over till it's over — and until a name is made official, we should keep sharing suggestions.
Back on July 2, Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss polled viewers about Emily's finalists: "OK, #Bachelornation ... Of the four remaining guys, who do you think would make the best Bachelor?"
Bless his bobblehead heart, but we're not even going to include Chris Bukowski. He's busy on Bachelor Pad 3 and never really had the level of fan devotion as Jef, Sean or Arie.
So let's say all options are open for the Season 17 Bachelor — who's our guy?
Need your daily dose of The Bachelor? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. After all, you'd get our final rose.

Ubiquitin is a small regulatory protein that has been found in almost all cells (''ubiquitously'') with nuclei (eukaryotes). It directs proteins to recycling and other functions.
Ubiquitin binds to proteins and labels them for destruction. The ubiquitin tag directs proteins to the proteasome, which is an organelle in the cell that degrades and recycles unneeded proteins.
Ubiquitin tags can also direct proteins to other locations in the cell, where they control other protein and cell mechanisms.
Ubiquitin (originally, ubiquitous immunopoietic polypeptide) was first identified in 1975 as an 8.5-kDa protein of unknown function expressed universally in living cells.
The basic functions of ubiquitin and the components of the ubiquitination pathway were elucidated in the early 1980s in groundbreaking work performed at Fox Chase Cancer Center by Aaron Ciechanover, Avram Hershko, and Irwin Rose for which the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 2004.
No ubiquitin and ubiquitination machinery are known to exist in prokaryotes. However, ubiquitin is believed to have descended from prokarytotic proteins similar to ThiS or MoaD.
These prokaryotic proteins, despite having little sequence identity (ThiS has 14% identity to ubiquitin), share the same protein fold.
These proteins also share sulfur chemistry with ubiquitin. MoaD, which is involved in molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, interacts with MoeB, which acts like an E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme for MoaD, strengthening the link between these prokaryotic proteins and the ubiquitin system.
A similar system exists for ThiS, with its E1-like enzyme ThiF. It is also believed that the ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' protein Urm-1, a ubiquitin-related modifier, is a "molecular fossil" that connects the evolutionary relation with the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like molecules and ubiquitin.

The project is a residence located in Southampton, New York.The Centrifugal Villa is arranged around a hollow center, as if the heart of the house had somehow fallen outside its body. The string of subsequent spaces in its interior provide a comprehension of the whole by sacrificing their individual geometric cohesiveness to the fractured configuration of the entire composition. The experience of the interior is characterized by constantly shifting vanishing points, at the place of their collision in each crease of the plan, large openings cutting dormer scoops on the roof, centrifugally release the views out to the surrounding landscape.
The house, defined by this idea rather than a formal imposition, cannibalizes the local "vernacular," distorting it through hexagonal introspection of the plan and the transposed proportion of the parts.Designed as wood post-and-beam structure, the exterior cladding is detailed with vertical board and batten seams to give continuity to the building exterior and encourage an uninterrupted rhythmic flow around the elevations. The house utilizes geothermal heating and incorporates passive energy-saving techniques, including a narrow-section interior to allow natural ventilation and a sequence and layout of dormer windows and openings to permit generous daylighting and minimal artificial lighting needs.Set on a 5-acre property overlooking an agricultural reserve, the completed project includes main house, separate guesthouse and garage structure, and poolhouse with poolside pavilion.Project details and creditsProject Name: Centrifugal VillaLocation: Southampton, New YorkProgram: Residential housing; 7-bedroom residence, guest house, 4-car garage, poolhouse and tennis areaBuilt Area: 13,250 sfStatus: Construction completed 2008Architects: OBRA Architects, Pablo Castro, New York / ConnecticutPrincipals: Pablo Castro, Jennifer LeeProject Team: Selin Semaan, Akira Gunji, Luis Costa, Shin Kook Kang, Satoshi Kiyono, Kaon Ko, Bronwyn Kotzen, Fabiana Meacham, Elizabeth Snow, Elina Almuhametova, Chiara Filios, Doreen LamStructural Engineer: Robert Silman Associates, Nat Oppenheimer, Jeff BeaneLighting Consultant: Peiheng Tsai Lighting DesignPhoto Credits: OBRA Architects

My chili in a crockpot is a cheater's recipe for chili that I use all the time. I grew up on a farm in Iowa, a corn farm. We always had field hands who came into the house to sit down and eat with us. This was many, many years ago and my mom didn't have the time or the money for elaborate recipes to feed her family and the men who worked on the farm. But all her food was good, no matter what it was. It stuck to your ribs. In this day and age "sticking to your ribs" isn't such a good thing, 'cause it ends up sticking to your fanny, and every other part of your body, but especially that rib area – I mean the gut hanging over the belt buckle. Not a pretty sight! Anyway, mama had a way of fixing chili that was quick and easy for her. She worked on that farm as well, but she always worked hard at the food she cooked to make sure it was good. But she had to be able to dump things together, make things spread out, look bigger and fill you up more. A field hand can use up a lot of calories in the field all day. So her chili recipe was real high in calories. I kind of tweaked with her recipe due to the fat content, the caloric content and saturated fat content. I tweaked, so my recipe isn't as good as hers, but this does me in a pinch. My mom didn't have the benefit of a crock pot but I do.
This is how I throw my chili together on some mornings, especially a winter morning:
- 2 pounds hamburger meat (at least 90 percent lean)
- 2 medium-sized can's Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans (Yep, good ole Hormel – this adds the beans and adds a lot of flavor)
- 1 medium-sized onion cut finely (I sometimes use half an onion)
- McCormick Chili Spice (just the jar kind)
- 1 medium-sized can of tomato juice (Yep, tomato juice – I know, it doesn't make sense, but it works)
Dump the raw hamburger meat in the bottom of your crock pot, dump in the two cans of Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, pour in the tomato juice and sprinkle lots of chili powder into the mixture. I add just regular old black pepper for the "hot," but you can add any kind of real chilies or any other type "hot" item that you usually use to make your chili recipe have that fire blowing hot that you are after. And, if the juice isn't thick enough for you, just sprinkle in some instant mashed potatoes. Works everytime!!
I let all this cook on high for 8 hours. By the end of the day, I have good chili that I don't have to have the heat in the stove blasting my face all the time. Chili's Restaurant makes me think of this recipe on some of their menu items that I've eaten. I guess my taste buds just connect the two, don't know why.
Hope you have a good, hot CHILI day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TERRE HAUTE — A tournament that began with thousands of runners four weeks ago came to a close Saturday in Terre Haute at the IHSAA State Cross Country Meet.
Eight local harriers — Whitko's boys' team and Columbia City's Samantha Roush — had the opportunity to compete against the top runners in the state.
Columbia City sophomore stand-out Samantha Roush placed the highest of Whitley County's runners, taking seventh in the girls' race.
Though Roush improved on last year's 12th place finish, her goal is to continue to improve next season.

The sale of a 24 percent stake in gold miner Newmont Nusa Tenggara to local administrations in West Nusa Tenggara violated the law and has caused billions of rupiah in state losses, a corruption watchdog says.
Indonesia Corruption Watch has urged the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate the sale of shares to West Nusa Tenggara province, Sumbawa district and West Sumbawa district.
"The KPK must question the governors and district heads because the purchase has violated the law," Firdaus Ilyas of ICW said after filing a report with the antigraft body last Wednesday.
The first violation concerns how the local administrations bought the shares, he said. They made the purchase through their consortium company, Daerah Maju Bersaing, with financial assistance from the Bakrie Group's Multi Capital.
However, he said this consortium formed without the required approval from regional councils at the district and provincial levels.
"The establishment of DMB has no legal basis because it was not backed up with a bylaw," he said, adding that the regional councils had not approved the initial investment of Rp 50 million ($5,400).
The second violation involves the distribution of dividends for the shares, he said. ICW calculated that the two districts and the province should have received $47.2 million in dividends for 2010 and 2011.
"However, the regions only received $7.3 million, so we've questioned where the remaining $39.9 million went," he said.
ICW's report comes after a local government official raised concerns.
"It [the share sale] is tainted with problems," Fitra Rino of the Sumbawa district council said while visiting Jakarta last week, demanding an audit on the sale.
The dividend was not given to DMB, he added, but to Bumi Resources, a mining company owned by the Bakrie Group.
"This is a clear violation of the regulations," he said.
Fitra also alleged that the shares are being used as collateral for the Bakrie Group's loan from Credit Suisse in Singapore.
Newmont is required by law to divest 51 percent of its shares to local entities.
Before the divestment program, US-based Newmont Mining Corporation controlled 80 percent of Newmont Nusa Tenggara's shares. The remaining shares belonged to Pukuafu Indah, which is owned by Merukh Enterprises, a conglomerate in the mining sector.
After the 24 percent stake deal, Newmont owns 56 percent.
The central government plans to buy the remaining divestment allocation of 7 percent. It allocated $246.8 million for the purchase in 2010, but the transaction has been delayed due to a legal dispute.
While the House of Representatives and the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) say the government needs approval from lawmakers before making the purchase, the government claims it can proceed without their consent.
The Constitutional Court is currently handling the case.

The Lupus Study's FAQ's
1) Why do you need blood from family members who do not have SLE?
1) Why do you need blood from family members who do not have SLE?
Because we are trying to determine the inheritance patterns of genes through generations in families, we need parents, grandparents, and some aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters to participate. The specific family members that qualify for participation are determined by their blood relationship to the lupus patient(s).
2) Why does it take so long to diagnose SLE in some cases?
There are several possible reasons:
3) What can I do to help find a cure?
Developing a cure for SLE is extremely difficult because we don't know what the cause is, and there are many aspects of the disease we don't understand very well. Therefore, research is extremely important. Your participation in studies such as ours is a great way to help. Some additional ideas for ways you can help are listed below:
4) What will be done with my blood?
5) Do breast implants cause lupus?
Simply, no. This rumor surfaced in 1992 when the Food and Drug Administration banned silicone breast implants due to a high occurrence of rupture as well as a reported increase in autoimmune diseases such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus. In 1994, The American College of Rheumatology conducted the most comprehensive studies to date and found no connection between silicone breast implants and lupus or any other connective tissue disease.
6) Does lupus skip generations?
The pattern of inheritance is highly unpredictable. Sometimes the genes will show up in every generation, sometimes the genes skip one or more generations. Researchers are working to determine why this occurs, but for now it remains a mystery.
7) What are the types of lupus?
There are four main types of lupus:
8) Why do we use controls (unrelated participants who do not have SLE and do not have any relatives that have SLE)?
Scientific research is done by making comparisons. What is the best kind of person to compare with the lupus patients? Those with the most genetic differences from lupus patients work the best. These comparison participants (referred to by scientists as "controls") are unrelated people with no known lupus in their families. With them we have the best chance to make the best comparison. return to Healthy Individuals...
9) Is there one specific test for lupus?
No. There are several tests, commonly known as a lupus panel, that can indicate whether certain conditions are present in a patient. Tests can determine that the body is undergoing an autoimmune attack, but even the best test is only an indication and must be taken into consideration with other diagnostic methods.
10) What does a "false positive" result on a syphilis test mean?
The most commonly used syphilis tests screen for an antibody to the syphilis organism. Lupus patients sometimes have a very similar antibody. This similar antibody, the antiphospholipid antibody (aPL), can cause an incorrect positive result on a syphilis test. If the doctor suspects that the patient may not really have syphilis, he may choose to then run a different, more complicated and expensive test that checks specifically for the syphilis organism. If this test is negative, then the patient does not have syphilis and the result of the first test is considered to be a "false positive". A false-positive syphilis test in a person's medical history may be an indication of lupus.
11) Where in the World Wide Web can I find information on lupus?
Lupus Foundation of America (www.lupus.org) is a great site for general lupus information as well as finding lupus resources in your area.
National Institute for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) (www.niams.nih.gov) contains general information about musculoskeletal diseases and is a good starting point for research. NIAMS is part of the National Institutes of Health (www.nih.gov).
Lupus Foundation of Northern California (www.saclupus.org) includes News and Education sections that make available some of the most detailed, thorough and up-to-date lupus information on the web.
SLE Foundation of New York (www.lupusny.org) is great for general information and provides information about the latest research developments.
American College of Rheumatology (ACR) (www.rheumatology.org) can be used to locate an ACR-accredited rheumatologist in your area.
Arthritis Foundation of America (www.arthritis.org) offers event news, nutrition tips and relationship advice for those dealing with chronic pain and any type of arthritis.
WebMD (www.webmd.com) is great for general medical information. It contains a wealth of knowledge on any number of medical topics.
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK) (www.niddk.nih.gov) provides patient information on kidney diseases and treatments.

2 men arrested for robbing evacuated home in Yarnell
PHOENIX -- Two men were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of robbing a home in Yarnell, Ariz., while it was under an evacuation order because of a wildfire, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said in a release.
Authorities said that, sometime between June 30 and July 8, Dakota Slone, 27, and Robert Frost, 22, broke into a home through a bedroom window and stole firearms, knives, coins and jewelry. Police sent out a bulletin describing the stolen property.
The victim told deputies that he spotted the suspects near his home during the evacuation process. A deputy made contact with Slone and Frost, who said they were aiding the evacuation. One was searching for a car to drive to Peeples Valley.
On July 10, a pawn shop informed YCSO that a knife matching the description of one that was stolen was pawned by Frost, who accepted a cash payout.
Slone and Frost were located in a Prescott motel room where a stolen telescope was found. Slone, a Yarnell resident, also told deputies that some of the stolen goods were buried in the woods. Those items were recovered.
Some of the stolen items, including the firearms, have not been located.
Authorities said Slone is being held on suspicion of burglary, theft and five counts of trafficking stolen property.
They said Frost is facing charges of burglary, theft and trafficking in stolen property.
About 20 percent of the homes in Yarnell were destroyed by fire.
Anyone with information on this crime or suspects should contact YCSO at (928) 771-3260.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Starbucks categorically denies that it has ever purchased coffee from Lampung Province. This position has been communicated to WWF, along with information indicating the true origins of a coffee shipment listed erroneously in a government database of coffee exports from the Province of Lampung.
Starbucks buys only high quality Arabica coffees and throughout the history of our company we have never sourced Robusta, the coffee species exclusively referred to in the WWF's report on the illegal growing of Robusta in Southern Sumatra's Lampung province. All of the coffee we purchase from Sumatra is Arabica and is grown legally in the Northern part of the island.
In keeping with C.A.F.E Practices, a set of socially responsible coffee buying guidelines, Starbucks encourages coffee farming practices that maintain and enhance natural biodiversity and ecosystem functions within and adjacent to coffee production areas. Starbucks is committed to paying premium prices for our coffee; this is part of our integrated approach to coffee sourcing which includes C.A.F.E. Practices, (Coffee And Farmer Equity Practices), a set of socially responsible coffee buying guidelines.
Our approach to coffee purchasing, investment in social development projects and microfinance initiatives in coffee growing regions has been recognized for its leadership within the industry.

Runners will begin by running through the Redcoat Run, an obstacle of spring-loaded tackling dummies dressed as the hated Redcoats from 1776. After defeating the Redcoats participants will enter the trenches of World War I and navigate the muddy troughs landing on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day for World War II. Once through the sandy beach and obstacles of tires, runners will enter the icy terrain of Korea. After emerging from the ice, contestants will find themselves entering the rice patties and jungles of Vietnam. After conquering the jungles loaded with Viet Cong, runners will emerge in the desert of the Gulf where they will be forced to navigate the sand dunes to free Kuwait. From the sands of Kuwait they will find themselves further in the gulf region overcoming the urban terrain of Baghdad in the Iraq War. Athletes will finish the course by climbing the Hindu Kush Mountain, a steep muddy mountain, and then slide to the finish line on the back side.

I'm an INTJ for anyone who finds that interesting.
What do I say about myself...? I love traveling and have lived in a couple different places over the years. I'm from Sweden but currently living in Canterbury studying towards my bachelors degree.
I love mountains and all the good stuff that comes with it like hot chocolate and snowboarding. Also really like scuba diving but sadly it feels like it was a very long time since I last had a dive, sadface... UPDATE! Had two great dives in Thailand around new years, was pretty rad being underwater again
Sadly mountains and diving spots aren't the easiest to come by, so my usual pass time is video games.

This year's top prize, the $1,500 Audience Favourite Award for Best Feature, went to Shamim Sarif for I Can't Think Straight.
It's the tale of a British Indian girl dating a British guy and a headstrong Christian Palestinian in the midst of planning her wedding day. When the two women meet by chance and become fast "friends," their lives are turned upside down. They find themselves questioning whether their undeniable attraction can co-exist with their traditions and conventions.
Sarif says that she wants to explore "the fact that often we need to face up to certain aspects of ourselves and our beliefs in order to find true love."
The film also took Audience Choice for Best Feature Film at the 2009 Melbourne Queer Film Festival in Australia.
The $750 Hot Pink Shorts Award for best short film went to The Portside by award-winning Vancouver director Aerlyn Weissman and poet Daphne Marlatt.
The film is a historical drama that relives Vancouver's lesbian scene of the 1970s. Commissioned by the Queer History Project, The Portside is the third film in a series of creative collaborations that honours Vancouver's queer histories.
Nine years ago, the Film Classification Board tried to prevent Weissman's documentary, Little Sister's vs Big Brother from being screened at the 14th installment of the queer film festival in 2002, sparking outcry from the queer community. The film charted the bookstore's two-decade battle against Canada Customs book seizures.
Naoko-San by local filmmaker Rika Moorhouse won the Gerry Brunet Memorial Award ($1500), a juried award honouring the best new short work by a BC artist. In Naoko-San, Moorhouse explores the blurred narrative of her mother's immigration story.
The Best International Feature ($500), a new festival award, was split between City of Borders and Soundless Wind Chime.
City of Borders, a co-production between Israel, Palestine and the US by Yun Suh, takes filmgoers into the heart of Jerusalem where a queer bar called Shushan stands as an unexpected symbol of unity. It portrays this vibrant underground sanctuary where people of opposing nationalities, religious affiliations and sexual orientations gather and create community under one roof.
Kit Hun's Soundless Wind Chime (China and Switzerland) is a sophisticatedly fashioned Honk Kong love story of two men who meet after one of their lovers dies in an accident. Told through a series of flashbacks and fragments, this poetic drama avows that love is as much about memory as it is present-day reality.
Attendance at the festival has continued to increase over the years.
"We're still awaiting a final attendance tally but overall feel really positive by the overwhelming level of engagement by our audience," says festival executive director Drew Dennis.

Charity of the Week: The Carlton Fund
All of the projects supported by The Carlton Fund meet the following criteria:
1. They provide internet resources to groups who either lack access to those resources elsewhere, or the resources cost more than many of these individuals in these groups can afford.
2. The projects are not income generating. Which means any revenue derived from ads or any other monetisation method are insufficient to cover the basic operational expense of the project (site hosting, upkeep, maintenance, etc.)
3. They are free and open to anyone without fees of any kind.

Domestic Outreach Public Meetings - Egg Safety: Proposed Rule for Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs During Production
Back to Egg Safety Action Plan
On this page:
- Goals
- Background
- How to Register
- Meeting Locations
- Agenda (Updated October 28, 2004)
- Transcript of October 28, 2004 Meeting
- To provide an overview of FDA's proposed rule for prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in shell eggs during production;
- To solicit public comments on the proposed rule; and
- Provide the public an opportunity to ask questions.
Background: FDA is proposing measures to prevent Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) contamination of shell eggs during egg production. The motivation for this proposal is a farm-to-table risk assessment of SE in eggs which identified implementation of on-farm prevention measures as a very important step that could reduce the occurrence of SE infections from eggs. While voluntary quality assurance (QA) programs for egg production have led to meaningful reductions in SE illnesses, these programs are not always uniformly administered or uniformly comprehensive in their prevention measures.
Moreover, the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that SE illnesses have essentially remained steady for the past several years. CDC estimated that 118,000 illnesses were caused by consumption of SE-contaminated eggs in 2001. Accordingly, FDA believes that further actions to improve egg safety--building upon the safe consumer handling labeling and egg refrigeration at retail rule of 2000--are the most effective way to achieve our public health goals of a 50% reduction in overall salmonellosis and a 50% reduction in SE outbreaks by 2010.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Greenwich Village Apartment II
Here we enclosed the kitchen with gray-green ash panels, which slide to reveal niches for photography. The furnishings are a playful juxtaposition of unlike elements: a sleek Landscape chaise longue alongside rustic African baskets and Indian side tables, and, underfoot, mod Flokati rugs next to luxurious Persians. The custom light fixture in the foyer pays homage to Dan Flavin. (See Greenwich Village Apartment III for the owner's next apartment.)

Johnson City police have charged a man with numerous burglaries of local churches, according to a news release.
Jaremy Taylor Kazen, 18, 268 W. Main St., No. 13, was charged early Saturday with eight counts of burglary, two counts of theft of an auto over $10,000, two counts of theft of an auto over $1,000, four counts of theft of property over $1,000 and theft of property under $500.
Police had been investigating a string of burglaries dating back to mid-September, seven of which happened at churches and one that occurred at the Legion Street Recreation building.
Four vehicles were stolen from the sites of some of the burglaries. Those vehicles have been recovered, police said.
Kazen was taken to the Washington County Detention Center and was being held on $162,000 bond.
He is scheduled to appear in Sessions Court Monday at 9 a.m.

It's been an unprecedented great run for the seven seniors on the Kane High School girls basketball team.
In the past four seasons, the Lady Wolves have won 84 games. That's the most ever over a four-year period for the girls basketball program, according to Kane coach Dave Kiehl.
ŌĆ£During the time when I was playing for him, Pat was working at Stackpole, plus he had a second job in addition to officiating high school basketball games, and he was a single parent,ŌĆØ John Knapp says. ŌĆ£His dedication to the kids and to the game still amazes me. He was very much a man of the World War II generation, the ŌĆśgreatest generationŌĆÖ some call it. Men like my dad, Bill Knapp, and Norm Wile, Jim Perry, Jack Flower and Bill Wilson were positive influences to us as young kids. Between coaching at the Y and at Glenwood, Jack Flower was an enduring influence to generations of youngsters.ŌĆØ
Being on the receiving end of Pat SantilliŌĆÖs frequent rant ŌĆ£youŌĆÖre a doggone dummyŌĆØ was a badge of honor for generations of young baseball players.
I never knew what a bucket list was until the Jack Nicholson movie came out. I thought a bucket list would be a fun idea, so I decided to make my own. If anyone out there doesnŌĆÖt know what a ŌĆ£bucket listŌĆØ is, itŌĆÖs simple; things you would like to do and see before you kick the bucket, so to speak. I donŌĆÖt plan on kicking that bucket for quite some time, so in my ever increasing youthful pilgrimage through life, I actually do have my own ŌĆ£bucket list,ŌĆØ┬Āas probably many people out there as young as I am also have.
The Kane Cheer Club traveled to the Champion Cheer Central March Madness Regional at McDowell High School in Erie, this past Saturday and came home with a fifth-place finish in the Large Varsity Division as well as a first-place finish in the Varsity Non-tumble Division.┬Ā
SHARON ŌĆō It was a big weekend for KaneŌĆÖs Evan Delong. The Wolves junior won the 100th match of his career on Friday night, then won his second consecutive Northwest Regional Title on Saturday.
Delong advances to the PIAA Championship Tournament, which begins this Thursday in Hershey. Joining him will be teammate and fellow junior Cody Blankenship, who took second place in the 113-pound weight class.
SHARON ŌĆō A pair of Kane wrestlers are in the regional semifinals after the first day of action at the Northwest Regional Championships at Sharon High School.
Cody Blankenship of Kane advanced at 113 pounds and Evan Delong went to the semis at 160 pounds.
CLARION ŌĆō The fifth time wasnŌĆÖt a charm for the Kane Lady Wolves basketball team. The 2012-2013 Lady Wolves tried to win the programŌĆÖs first district title in five trips to the finals on Friday night in the Class AA championship game against Brookville but came up on the short end of a 63-51 decision.
The Kane Lady Wolves basketball team will take on the Brookville Lady Raiders in tonightŌĆÖs District 9 AA Championship game. The contest is set to begin at 6 p.m. in Clarion UniversityŌĆÖs Tippin Gymnasium.
The Kane Middle SchoolŌĆÖs seventh and eighth grade volleyball teams improved their records to 2-0 with wins over Elk County Catholic Tuesday night. The eighth grade team struggled early, losing the first match of the evening 25-18, but soon got their footing and won the final three matches of the evening with scores of 25-22, 25-21, and 25-17.

Dave, thanks for the views from the other side. Very insightful as probably most Badgers fans know little or next to nothing about Stanford. That being said, I sure hope the Badgers are reading these and are getting tired of hearing how great Stanford is! You would think that Stanford should be in the National Championship game! The Badgers have a chip...Stanford is cocky! Who usually wins in these types of games? Dave, I would like to get a prediction from you also! What do you think?Hide replies
You think that because he's picking Stanford by 4-7 points that Stanford is "cocky." Dude, Dave and everyone else who has predicted a Stanford win has said it will be a close game. Though, actually, had Stanford had Hogan in as the starter when they played Notre Dame, I do believe Stanford would be playing 'Bama in the National Championship game. But, that doesn't mean Wisconsin can't win tomorrow. It should be a very good game in my opinion
See, this close game thing is why the Badgers need to put up 70 again.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2 - Honda's Super Bowl commercial [video]
The long awaited sequel to the cult film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" has finally been released and we have got the entire film for all to see. Admittedly, the video is only 2 minutes and 25 seconds long, but it is good to see the essence of the original has been kept intact.
Alternatively, the video could be introduced as Honda's commercial that will be aired during Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday February 5th. It has been created to mark the launch of the new 2012 Honda CR-V which stars in the commercial alongside Matthew Broderick.
Additionally, if you are a big fan of the original movie, there are over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial which Honda wants you to find.
Award-winning actor Matthew Broderick is starring in a fourth-quarter Super Bowl commercial to promote the all-new 2012 Honda CR-V.
"Matthew's Day Off" is part of an integrated, multiplatform advertising campaign that began earlier this month to support the launch of the all-new Honda CR-V. The campaign encourages the active, hip Gen-Y audience transitioning between their carefree twenties and their more focused thirties to conquer their aspirations by completing their own "Leap List."
"Our primary goal is to support the launch of the all-new CR-V, a pillar vehicle in the Honda lineup, while representing the inherent fun and youthfulness of the Honda brand," said Tom Peyton, Honda brand manager, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Playing off the Leap List concept, "Matthew's Day Off," directed by Todd Phillips (The Hangover, Due Date, Old School), stars Broderick playing himself while drawing on his well-known coming-of-age character that the CR-V target audience grew up watching.
"As with our other CR-V commercials that began airing this month, this fun commercial reminds viewers to go out and embrace life - do the things you want to do, not just the things you have to do," said Joe Baratelli, EVP, ECD at RPA, Honda's longstanding agency of record.
Hidden in the commercial are dozens of "Easter eggs" reflective of the original film. Fans are encouraged to watch the spot closely to see how many references they can find. For example, an iconic vest that was worn in the original movie is visible in a department store window that appears briefly. To view the commercial and comment on the "Easter eggs," viewers can go to http://www.facebook.com/hondacrv.
To build anticipation for Honda's Super Bowl commercial an eight-second teaser, "Coming Soon," was loaded onto YouTube on Jan. 26 and amassed nearly four million views. A pre-game release of a 2-minute 23-second extended version of "Matthew's Day Off" will be supported by public relations, search marketing and social media. In addition, Honda fans will get a sneak peek of the Super Bowl ad on Honda's Facebook page and Google+ page, which was just launched last week. Fans are encouraged to use the hashtag #dayoff online when talking about Honda's Super Bowl commercial. Momentum will continue the week after the game with several large portal takeovers featuring "Matthew's Day Off."

Beverly Finnell: Judeo-Christian principles are under assault
The First Amendment of our Constitution states that Congress cannot make a law that protects one religion over another or to limit the practice of any religion.
The last few decades have seen an all-out assault on both the Judeo-Christian principles that are the foundation of our Constitution, and on individuals as well.
I am aware of business owners experiencing persecution because of their religious convictions. While they did business with homosexuals, they refused certain services that violated their consciences. The customers required actions that the shop owners could not in good faith perform.
In the State of Washington, a florist was sued for refusing to give special services for a gay couple planning their "wedding." In the past the florist had created floral arrangements for the homosexual who wanted the "wedding" flowers, but the florist could not comply with this specific request since it would have violated her faith by giving the appearance of endorsing same-sex "marriage" (by creating special services for such an event).
Not incidentally, the florist counter-sued and won since the State of Washington had a law that protected people's religious convictions.
In America the government is supposed to protect individuals' rights to practice their faith, so long as the practice does not harm someone else. Refusing to provide floral services to a homosexual couple does not harm the couple.
The government should not use its intolerance for certain viewpoints to intimidate citizens into acting contrary to their faith convictions. Family business owners are constitutionally guaranteed the freedom to live and work according to their beliefs. It is this very freedom that gives America its cherished diversity and protects citizens from State-mandated conformity.
"Freedom of belief is the canary in the mine of freedom in general," writes a reviewer of Rupert Shortt's "Christianophobia — Faith Under Attack." A canary was sent into an underground mine to test whether the air quality would support the miners.
Currently a movement is eroding the morality of our nation, and that path of decreased moral responsibility leads to a moral destruction of a people and a nation. In a letter to James Madison dated Nov. 5, 1786, George Washington wrote, "No morn ever dawned more favorable than ours did; and no day was ever more clouded than the present! Wisdom and good examples are necessary at this time to rescue the political machine from the impending storm."
Through the writings of our founding fathers, it is evident they relied on what they called Divine Providence when they set out to establish this nation. Benjamin Franklin said to his colleagues at the Constitutional Convention on June 28, 1787, "All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind Providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we not forgotten that Powerful Friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need His assistance? I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth--that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?"
Daniel Webster has also said, "I regard it (the Constitution) as the work of the purest patriots and wisest statesmen that ever existed, aided by the smiles of a benignant (gracious) Providence … it almost appears a Divine interposition in our behalf…"
If God is for us, who can be against us? President Ronald Reagan said, "If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."
The state of Tennessee, like Washington State, should specifically ensure citizens' rights to conduct business as their Christian principles dictate.

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3.3
Mediocre at best, and ours smells like a lemon
Front brakes replaced 3x in 65000 km, rear brakes done at 40000 km, including new calipers.
Interior squeaks and rattles are the worst of any vehicle I've ever had. Every bump, every time the body flexes or twists even slightly, there is a squeak.
Plastic seat backs on rear seats have all broken off from sliding cargo into the back when the rear seats are stowed.
Stow and go middle and rear seats are not comfortable for anyone except small children.
General Comments:
The ride is very nice and smooth.
Lots of cargo room.
Decent fuel economy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
