text: Sometimes thought of as the weakest pieces in a Chess game, the pawns have often lacked the respect of novice chess players. These pieces are seen as disposable, powerless, and meant to be trampled upon by other, more important Chess pieces. However, you might be surprised to know that pawns can be some of the most dangerous pieces in a Chess game, and they deserve your respect. Pawn Chains Are Stronger: Despite your level of Chess play, you can decipher at first glance that some pawns are in better positions of power than others.

text: So where did I get my four year idea from? The IRS generally has three years from the date you filed a return to initiate an audit. Some states have a longer period of time, for example California has four years to audit a taxpayer. But I have seen instances where the IRS or a state tax agency requests a tax return from a much earlier year, often when the agency has never received an original return. And older documents have a way of being purged after three or four years, and so digging up older documents is often an arduous process. As a result, I'm now inclined to agree with Vohwinkle about keeping documents for a longer period of time.

This week the show was all about threats and foreshadowing. Nicole threatened to kill Sami, the stage was set for Kristen to ruin EJ, and EJ warned Kate that she and Sami are prime targets for one of Stefano's hitmen.
Will-style revenge?
It doesn't really fit that Will would write this article about the private goings on in his mother's life over one argument. Albeit it was a big one but in general, they've a good solid relationship and Will's never been written anything like Sami. In last week's Deconstructing "DOOL" I said, What Will's doing is deplorable and unforgiveable yet...very intriguing. Sure Will explained he was trying to teach Sami a lesson but it also could be that the writers are transitioning Will into a bad boy. Many have always thought he should be naughty considering his upbringing. This could be fun if that's the road they're going with this story.
It was a surprise that Zoe Browning went to Sami with Will's tell-all. At first it looked as though it wouldn't go to print considering how powerful Sami is now. As we saw, the only change now is that Abigail's going to be named. Sami's right. Will really is going to regret this. Her reaction to Will writing that article was surprising. From the spoilers it appeared as though she would raise hell but she was more subdued and hurt than anything. Great writing.
Nosy old hag.
Theresa called her sister a nosy old hag and moments later the same name could have applied to Adrienne who showed up on Alice Horton's doorstep just to butt into JJ's relationship with Paige. So random. She mustn't have much to do now that the kids are adults and she doesn't work. What do they say about idle hands? At least she apologized to Abigail for butting into whatever was going on between Abby and EJ in the early stages of their relationship. It might be a good thing she doesn't work for TBD or Mandalay as a waitress. She could overhear everyone's conversations and really go to town!
"I'd make a good beard." – Jennifer Horton
HRH might make a good beard if she had any gaydar to see that Aiden's straight. Why did Aiden ask her out? Just to make Hope jealous so she'd face her feelings for him? It is nice to have a slow build with Hope and Aiden but I'm starting to want this story to go just a little faster.
Dan 'n' Jenn.
It's good to see the writers showing the viewers how difficult it can be for a couple to stay away once they've broken up, especially when life-threatening situations crop up. I'm finding it easier to feel for Jenn who it's easy to see really misses Daniel.
It's great to have Kristen return. Love her or hate her, she livens things up in Salem, though this time there were many grumbles from folks finding the return boring these past two weeks. It wasn't any fun to watch her recap the events from her last foray on Salem. We didn't need the recap. We haven't forgotten what she did or how she feels. Who is buying that she's returning for no other reason than to "help" her ex? She sure is deluded about Brady's feelings for her, not that it's a surprise. He's her new John. Luckily things perked up once she returned to the Salem Police Department, especially since all the players in her storyline were there for different issues.
Marlena was spot on to tell Brady not to let Kristen draw him into her world again. It's best if he doesn't acknowledge her presence in town. Uh...have you noticed Brady's doing just peachy for someone who a moment ago was addicted to booze and coke...
Vote to weigh in with your thoughts on Kristen's return to Salem.
Clandestine meetings.
Clyde sidled up to Jeremiah again in a private spot and though not much was said, it's becoming more apparent that the yokels are drug runners and fixin' to start sellin' in a new territory - Salem. This is coinciding with EJ getting himself back into the underbelly of Salem's drug world because he's penniless. Since Theresa, Rory, and Bev are into drugs will EJ or Clyde get them caught up in this? Is Clyde going to offer one to Abigail? What about Kate? Now that Clyde has the material for blackmail it could be interesting to see what comes next.
Abigail met Clyde for two whole minutes and Ben has known him most of his life, yet she's already telling Ben how to feel and what to do about Clyde. Not good. She should stay out of it!
Speaking of Abigail... "Days" just cast Billy Flynn as Chad DiMera. We'll miss Casey Deidrick's portrayal but with EJ and Kristen leaving and Stefano never around, we do need a DiMera presence on the show.
Rafe's apologies.
Jordan continued to look constipated all week because she's confused about what to do in an adult relationship. Rafe continued apologizing for cheating but he's right. Words only mean so much. She needs time alone to think. She should also consider hiring a PI to figure out why her father's in town while she's at it.
Best lines of the week:
Sami, "Yeah, but that was before you took a ride on Abby Deveraux."
Rafe, "Kristen DiMera behind bars? That's two DiMeras in one month. It's like Christmas in August."

And we were aware that terrible things were happening. But nothing prepares you for what you see. You just – you cannot believe it. It's not acceptable to the human mind. Even I said, I don't want to go to a concentration camp, I didn't sign up, I signed up to take care of combat officers.
My father had been trying to get over, relatives over here, and had sent money several times. And they waited and waited and waited, and then they couldn't get out. And so I really didn't want to do that sort of thing, to me. And most people did not know. I don't know anybody who knew what was really happening. If you look at my booklet of the outfit and read what the colonel said, he says it was "political prisoners."
… And you can't talk to anybody because nobody- in those days, you didn't talk to anybody, because nobody would comprehend. And then some things I'm not telling you. Some things you never can tell. And I know, as victims, there are things that they will never tell. There are some things that are – you just cannot. You cannot.

Introducing the Unreal Canucks GIF Tournament, a quest to determine which Canucks GIF is the greatest in existence. We've narrowed it down to 32 candidates, divided into four divisions then seeded, one through eight. Now we need your help. An important note: this isn't just something to do while the players and the owners waste time bickering over who should get what's left of the money they're burning — it's also a super-important initiative. After all, if we don't do this, how else will we know? AND WE MUST KNOW.
(1) We call this gif LUONGO LIKES IT, PUTS RING ON IT.
There were a lot of upsets in round one, evidence that either this tournament is really unpredictable, or we did a terrible job seeing these gifs. (Probably the second one. We're terrible.) Even the Luongo Division's number one seed, which we thought would cruise through the first few rounds, had a bit of a tough time out of the gate. It was nearly upset Alex Edler's flying tackle on Drew Doughty. However, it staved off the upset because it's excellent. Look at his commitment to the Beyonce walk: room full of beautiful woman and Luongo's completely in the zone. Although we'd be a little more impressed if Luongo was doing this.
(7) We call this gif GOOD NIGHT DETROIT.
This gif is downright arrogant, always celebrating victory. You haven't won yet, gif. But it could win. If there's a gif that can knock off the top seed, it just might be Luongo's curtain call in Detroit. It surprised us when it took just under 55% of the vote in the first round, bumping the highly-ranked gif of Luongo turning his net into a Bieksa-cloning machine. I guess we shouldn't underestimate the power of the troll.
OKAY. Now let's vote.
Voting closes at midnight.
WINNER — LUONGO LIKES IT, PUTS RING ON IT (54.17%)Tags: unreal canucks gif tournament

Microfinance institutions throughout the world are benefitting from unprecedented recognition and access to capital. This, in turn, has allowed the sector to provide millions of the world's microentrepreneurs with credit and other financial services. EA Consultants' work considers the competitive needs of the sector, with a strong emphasis in providing value to clients. We are a recognized leader of innovation in the industry, offering a broad range of services including:
EA Consultants believes that there are critical links between research, learning and action. Before implementing a new program or policy, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of the current market and of all the positive and negative effects that the strategy may produce. Our approach incorporates academic and programmatic research. We ensure that quantitative and qualitative information about clients is incorporated in our work to give clients a "voice" in the process. By recognizing gaps in the market, we can create appropriate solutions to address those areas of critical need. Our research is markedly independent and objective.
Low- and middle-income countries often lack the resources to provide their citizens with sufficient safety nets and social protection services to protect them from the devastating effects of external shocks. In the absence of these public programs, microinsurance can help the poor mitigate risk. Yet, microinsurance is not just about "small policies." It involves tailoring products and processes to a new, low-income target while taking into account the demands of the market. EA Consultants recognizes that innovation in this field does not only emanate from the private sector. Whether through social security, microinsurance or other programs, governments play an important role in helping to mitigate the risk of vulnerable populations. We provide advisory and research services to insurance companies, donor agencies, governments, networks and private organizations to develop sustainable microinsurance and social protection strategies.
Women contribute significantly to the livelihoods of their families. However, they often lack sufficient access to financial tools, training and social protection mechanisms that take into account their particular needs. Although microfinance has provided millions of women with access to working capital, women-owned business are still smaller and slower growing than male-owned businesses. Our programs take gender differences into account, to ensure that solutions can be most effective. As a women-owned firm, we are particularly aware of the integral role that women have in international development. We recognize that any development solution, both in its focus and in its design, must take into account complex gender issues.
A summary of our projects in these four different areas can be found here.

Elbert Memorial Hospital generates a substantial amount of revenue for the local and state economy.
According to a report by the Georgia Hospital Association, the state's largest hospital trade association, Elbert Memorial generated $27.9 million in revenue for the Elbert County and Georgia economies for Fiscal Year 2011.
Elbert Memorial CEO Jim Yarborough explains some of the economic impact.
"If you really think about it we're a larger employer, we're probably the 3rd or 4th largest employer in the county. Everybody that works, most of us live in the area, shop in the area, we use local services, businesses, hardware some of the other contractor groups and so forth" says Yarborough.
The report also found out that, during the same year, Elbert Memorial provided nearly $1.3 million in uncompensated care, while sustaining an estimated 295 jobs in Elbert County and the rest of the state.
Yarborough mentions that the hospital can have other economic implications throughout the county.
"Hospital services are very critical, but also become very critical when it comes time to attract new businesses and industry. Often times an industry that's looking to relocate a company they want to know about he school systems, they want to know about the quality of life is in the community, they also want to know what there source of healthcare is, how close they are to hospitals, what kind of doctors you have in the community, those are all important parts" says Yarborough.
He says one thing that has stuck with him is the tremendous show of support for Elbert Memorial from the local community.
"There is a lot to be proud to be part of the community. We really appreciate all the support that we get from all the community as you know in the past the citizens of Elbert County have stepped up and supported our hospital and we're doing everything we can do to try to show the gratitude that we have for their support" says Yarborough.
According to a press release from the hospital, more than a third of all hospitals in Georgia are operating with negative margins, but Yarborough says despite that statistic that Elbert Memorial will continue to work hard to ensure that the community has access to health care services that are second to none.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
9:3-13 Other people heard these tidings, and were driven thereby to make war upon Israel; but the Gibeonites were led to make peace with them. Thus the discovery of the glory and the grace of God in the gospel, is to some a savour of life unto life, but to others a savour of death unto death, 2Co 2:16. The same sun softens wax and hardens clay. The falsehood of the Gibeonites cannot be justified. We must not do evil that good may themselves to the God of Israel, we have reason to think Joshua would have been directed by the oracle of God to spare their lives. But when they had once said, We are come from a far country, they were led to say it made of skins, and their clothes: one lie brings on another, and that a third, and so on. The way of that sin is especially down-hill. Yet their faith and prudence are to be commended. In submitting to Israel they submitted to the God of Israel, which implied forsaking their idolatries. And how can we do better than cast ourselves upon the mercy of a God of all goodness? The way to avoid judgment is to meet it by repentance. Let us do like these Gibeonites, seek peace with God in the rags of abasement, and godly sorrow; so our sin shall not be our ruin. Let us be servants to Jesus, our blessed Joshua, and we shall live.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 4. - They did work wilily. Rather, and they worked - they also - with craft. The reference, no doubt, is to the confederacy of the other kings. The Gibeonites also acted upon what they had heard, but they preferred an accommodation to war. So Calvin and Rosenmuller; also Drusius. And they felt that they could only effect their purpose by craft. Other explanations are given, such as that a reference is made to Joshua's stratagem at Ai. Keil rejects both, and proposes an explanation of his own, which is unintelligible. Origen's interpretation here is interesting as a specimen of the theology of the third century. He regards the Gibeonites as the type of men who, though they are enrolled in the Church as believers and have faith in God, and acquiesce in all the Divine precepts, and are ready enough to take part in all the external duties of religion, are yet involved in vices and foulnesses, like the Gibeonites in their old garments and clouted shoes. They display no signs of improvement or alteration, yet Jesus our Lord concedes to them salvation, even though that salvation does not escape a certain stigma of disgrace. That there may be some persons in a condition somewhat resembling this described by Origen may be admitted, but it is difficult to see how any one in a state of salvation can display no signs of improvement whatever. There are many who do not improve as they might, whom we should yet hesitate to pronounce altogether reprobate from God. But surely the entire absence of all improvement is a manifest sign of reprobation. This passage is one of many among the voluminous works of Origen in which that holy and learned man has not sufficiently weighed what he was saying (see below, ver. 23). Made as if they had been ambassadors. "Sent an embassy" (Luther). If we take this reading, we must suppose, with Grotius and others, the word to be the Hithpahel of צִיר to go, to revolve. But the form is rare, and the word is elsewhere unknown, at least in Hebrew, though an Arabic form of it is found. It is therefore better to read יֹצְטַיָּדוּ "they prepared themselves provisions." This is the reading of the LXX., the Vulgate, the Chaldee, the Syriac, and of most modern editors. It is rendered still more probable by the occurrence of the same word in ver. 12. Old sacks. Rather, worn out, and so throughout the passage. The usual mode of conveyance still in the East is in sackcloth bags on the backs of horses, mules, camels, and asses. Such bags are apt to meet with rough usage in a long journey. Wine bottles. Rather, wine skins, the wine then being kept in skins, not in vessels of glass. This explains how they could be burst open (מְבֻקָּעִים) and tied up. These skins were hung up frequently in the smoke (Psalm 119:83), which gave them a shrivelled appearance. The first bottles were made of such skins, as Herodotus tells us. The Egyptian monuments confirm his statements, displaying as they do skins of animals so used, with the legs or the neck forming what we still term the "neck" of the bottle (cf. Homer, Iliad, 4:247, ἀσκῷ ἐν αἰγείῳ). Similar bottles are depicted on the walls of Herculaneum and Pompeii, and the like may be seen still in Italian villages. They were pitched over at the seams to prevent leakage (cf. Job 32:19; Matthew 9:17; Mark 2:22; Luke 5:37, 38. See also Kitto's 'Cyclopaedia of Biblical Literature '). Bound up. The usual mode of mending in the East, except when a patch is inserted, is to tie or sew up the hole.

Acted craftily, dealt in much cunning and subtlety; our version leaves out a very emphatic word, "also"; they also, as well as other nations, acted a cunning part, but in a different way; they did not enter into consultations and alliances with others, how to defend themselves, but made use of a stratagem to make peace, and enter into a league with Israel; or also as the Israelites had done, either as Simeon and Levi had dealt craftily with the Shechemites, who were Hivites, Genesis 34:2; so now the Gibeonites, who also were Hivites, Joshua 9:7; wrought in a wily and crafty manner with them, so Jarchi; or as the Israelites had lately done in the affair of Ai:
and went and made as if they had been ambassadors: from some states in a foreign country, sent on an embassy to the people of Israel, to compliment them on their successes, and to enter into alliance with them, which they thought would be pleasing and acceptable to them; the Targum is,"they prepared food,''which they took with them for their journey; and so the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions:
and took old sacks upon their asses: in which they put, their provisions:
and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up: not made of glass, as ours usually are, but of the skins of beasts, as the bottles in the eastern countries commonly were; which in time grew old, and were rent and burst, and they were obliged to mend them, and bind them up, that they might hold together, and retain the liquor put into them, see Matthew 9:17.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
4. They did work wilily—They acted with dexterous policy, seeking the means of self-preservation, not by force, which they were convinced would be unavailing, but by artful diplomacy.
took old sacks upon their asses—Travellers in the East transport their luggage on beasts of burden; the poorer sort stow all their necessaries, food, clothes, utensils together, in a woollen or hair-cloth sack, laid across the shoulders of the beast they ride upon.
wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up—Goat-skins, which are better adapted for carrying liquor of any kind fresh and good, than either earthenware, which is porous, or metallic vessels, which are soon heated by the sun. These skin bottles are liable to be rent when old and much used; and there are various ways of mending them—by inserting a new piece of leather, or by gathering together the edges of the rent and sewing them in the form of a purse, or by putting a round flat splinter of wood into the hole.
Joshua 9:4 Additional Commentaries
The Deceit of the Gibeonites
…3When the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai, 4they also acted craftily and set out as envoys, and took worn-out sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins worn-out and torn and mended, 5and worn-out and patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and had become crumbled.…
Cross References
Matthew 9:17
Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."
Joshua 9:3
However, when the people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
Joshua 9:5
They put worn and patched sandals on their feet and wore old clothes. All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy.
Joshua 9:13
And these wineskins that we filled were new, but see how cracked they are. And our clothes and sandals are worn out by the very long journey."
Treasury of Scripture
They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks on their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
work wilily
Genesis 34:13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, …
1 Kings 20:31-33 And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the …
Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the middle of wolves: be you …
Luke 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely…
ambassadors the word tzier, an ambassador, properly denotes a hinge; because an ambassador is a person upon whom the business turns as upon a hinge. So the Latin Cardinalis, from cardo, a hinge, was the title of the prime minister of the emperor Theodosius, though now applied only to the Pope's electors and counsellors.
wine bottles These bottle being made of skin, were consequently liable to be rent, and capable of being mended; which is done, according to Chardin, by putting in a piece, or by gathering up the wounded piece in the manner of a purse; and sometimes by inserting a flat piece of wood.
Psalm 119:83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.

The TNA website has announced today that the Television title has been retired on the order of TNA's new Executive Director Kurt Angle.
"The TV Title was left dormant by the Dixie Carter and MVP administrations for over a year. Taking over as Executive Director has required me to fix issues they left behind. Championships are the reward of competition inside the ring between wrestlers striving to be the best. As of now, the TV Title is inactive," Angle said.
The TV title started as the Legends title back in October 2008 and was then renamed to the Global title exactly a year later before changing to Television title in July 2010.
Abyss was the last one to hold the title, winning it at Slammiversary XI in June 2013 from Devon.

Product description
Maya Angelou's seven volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a Black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement and celebration. In this first volume of her six books of autobiography, Maya Angelou beautifully evokes her childhood with her grandmother in the American south of the 1930s. She learns the power of the white folks at the other end of town and suffers the terrible trauma of rape by her mother's lover. 'I write about being a Black American woman, however, I am always talking about what it's like to be a human being. This is how we are, what makes us laugh, and this is how we fall and how we somehow, amazingly, stand up again' Maya Angelou

Author information
Dr Maya Angelou was one of the world's most important writers and activists. Born 4 April 1928, she lived and chronicled an extraordinary life: rising from poverty, violence and racism, she became a renowned author, poet, playwright, civil rights' activist - working with Malcolm X and Martin Luther King - and memoirist. She wrote and performed a poem, 'On the Pulse of Morning', for President Clinton on his inauguration; she was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama and was honoured by more than seventy universities throughout the world. She first thrilled the world with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969). This was followed by six volumes of autobiography, the seventh and final volume, Mom & Me & Mom, published in 2013. She wrote three collections of essays; many volumes of poetry, including His Day is Done, a tribute to Nelson Mandela; and two cookbooks. She had a lifetime appointment as Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University of North Carolina. Dr Angelou died on 28 May 2014.
Customer reviews
By Chrissy 08 Jun 2014
Did I enjoy this book: In honor of the recently departed poet, artist, singer, activist, and beautiful soul, Maya Angelou, I�?�¢??m offering this review of one of my all time favorite stories.
I Know Why the Caged Bird sings is unforgettable. Angelou doesn�?�¢??t just tell stories she changes lives. She touches souls. And she reshapes our nation for the better.
In this book she deals with literacy, persistence, personal dignity, and success against impossible odds.
I love how she tells a story of survival without anger, blame, or excuses. It�?�¢??s hard to comprehend how she�?�¢??s able to write with such honesty about topics that, when this book was released, were hardly spoken of in private much less public.
"While I was writing the book, I stayed half drunk in the afternoon and cried all night.�?�¢?? Yet she kept writing. And readers of all generations are better off because she did. God bless you, Maya Angelou. Rest in peace.
Would I recommend it: Absolutely.
As reviewed by Belinda at Every Free Chance Book Reviews.
Review quote
A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman -- President Barack Obama The poems and stories she wrote ... were gifts of wisdom and wit, courage and grace -- President Bill Clinton She moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a fierce grace ... She will always be the rainbow in my clouds -- Oprah Winfrey She was important in so many ways. She launched African American women writing in the United States. She was generous to a fault. She had nineteen talents - used ten. And was a real original. There is no duplicate -- Toni Morrison
Editorial reviews
Maya Angelou is a natural writer with an inordinate sense of life and she has written an exceptional autobiographical narrative which retrieves her first sixteen years from "the general darkness just beyond the great blinkers of childhood." Her story is told in scenes, ineluctably moving scenes, from the time when she and her brother were sent by her fancy living parents to Stamps, Arkansas, and a grandmother who had the local Store. Displaced they were and "If growing up is painful for the Southern Black girl, being aware of her displacement is the rust on the razor that threatens the throat." But alternating with all the pain and terror (her rape at the age of eight when in St. Louis With her mother) and humiliation (a brief spell in the kitchen of a white woman who refused to remember her name) and fear (of a lynching - and the time they buried afflicted Uncle Willie under a blanket of vegetables) as well as all the unanswered and unanswerable questions, there are affirmative memories and moments: her charming brother Bailey - her own "unshakable God"; a revival meeting in a tent; her 8th grade graduation; and at the end, when she's sixteen, the birth of a baby. Times When as she says "It seemed that the peace of a day's ending was an assurance that the covenant God made with children, Negroes and the crippled was still in effect." However charily one should apply the word, a beautiful book - an unconditionally involving memoir for our time or any time. (Kirkus Reviews)

First of all there are physical differences between hamsters and gerbils. On an average, hamsters are slightly bigger, around 6-7 inches whereas gerbils reach 5-6 inches also including the beautiful tail. Gerbil's tail is 3-5 inches long, furry with a tuft of hair at the end. Hamster's tail is short and stubby.
They look different too. Gerbils have longer snout like rats do whereas hamsters have shorter snout. Gerbils are appealing to some as they love standing on their long hind legs. Hamsters have short and stocky legs. The average life span of both hamsters and gerbils are about two to five years. Some varieties may live up to seven years.
Hamsters come in more varieties of patterns and colors then gerbils do. Syrian, Teddy bear, Golden, Siberian, Chinese dwarf, Winter White Dwarf, Hairless, Panda Bear, Long haired and Short haired are some popular varieties. Gerbils also have varieties but Mongolian Gerbils are more popular as pets.
Secondly, there is the behavioral difference between a Hamster and a Gerbil. Gerbils are generally curious, energetic and fun. Hamsters on the other hand are usually laid back but they both love running the wheel. Hamsters tend to bite more even if you had them for a long time. On the contrary tamed gerbils very rarely bite. They love being held, making them great pets for children.
Hamsters generally are nocturnal. They sleep at day and are active during nights whereas gerbils are diurnal but in captivity can be active during day or night. They take naps whenever they feel like taking one. Since gerbils are desert animals, they produce very little waste. In turn, the housing areas do not stink and stays cleaner longer. Hamster on the other hand can be stinky and their tanks have to be cleaned very frequently.
Hamsters are more solitary and territorial and should be housed separately from others as they get into fights more often and can hurt each other. Having said that, some dwarf hamsters like Campbell dwarf and Chinese dwarf can be kept in groups as they are less likely to fight. Gerbils are more social, get along together more and can be housed together. A company and a play area is all they need to be happy. It is wise to get two baby gerbils as they bond faster. Adult gerbils get in the fight with newcomers and split cage method has to be implemented until they get accustomed to each other. It is always best to keep two males as females in both the species are more aggressive and territorial.
Chewing and feeding behaviors are not much different between a hamster and a gerbil. Both of them eat the same kind of food but excess green vegetables and fruits can cause diarrhea in gerbils. Thus, these kinds of food should only be fed once or twice a week and in small quantity. Hamsters show food hoarding behavior as they are equipped with cheek pouches to store and transport food. Gerbils, on the other hand, do not have any pouches.
The differences between a hamster and a gerbil is ample however, they both can be great pets if you are a responsible pet owner.

Obama Camp Doesn't Want General-Election Voters To Forget Primary Romney
By Frank James
When Mitt Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom indicated with his famous (or infamous) Etch-A-Sketch simile that the former Massachusetts governor would reset his campaign strategy and message after the Republican primaries in order to appeal to general-election voters, Democrats said they planned to make that shift difficult if not impossible for the presumptive GOP nominee.
Which explains a new anti-Romney video from President Obama's re-election campaign that strings together a series of Romney moments from the Republican nomination contest that Obama's people believe may not play so well with persuadable voters.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Sponsors of a bill to revise North Carolina's residential building code on a longer cycle and to prevent local governments from offering additional inspections have gained more state House support.
The House gave its final approval to the measure 99-18 on Tuesday and sent it to the Senate.
The bill would extend the cycle for revising the code from the current three-year practice to a required six years. Cities and counties also couldn't initiate regular, routine inspections on their own beyond what the code requires unless a state council allows them. Home builders support the changes, while local governments and an environmental group oppose them.
The House tentatively approved the measure Monday night with 88 "yes" votes. The bill was amended slightly Tuesday to address one concern.

Kodak is planning something which is gonna "revolutionize" image capture, and here is what the claim seems to be:
- Bigger and better images from mobile phones
- Improving low light photography,
- Reducing blur
- Capability of 720p video at 30 FPS
- Extreme low light settings, like ISO 3200
Technology Behind !!
The company's new KAC-05020 snaps its proprietary Color Filter Pattern technology together with a redesigned CMOS pixel for the "world's first" 1.4 micron, 5-megapixel device. The new sensor shrinks the pixels down, but manages to maintain picture quality by harnessing the aforementioned CFP. That technique adds a fourth layer of "clear" pixels to the red, green, and blue ones which already exist, thus collecting a higher proportion of light striking the sensor, resulting in a brighter and clear image.
Kodak will be showing the new technology off at the Mobile World Congress this month, and hopefully, it will be available for mobile phones pretty soon.
I wonder how much its gonna revolutionize the picture capture, however I hope the video recording get enhanced in low light. Video recording is really pathetic when we talk about the VGA resolution recording, in absence of proper lightening. Also, it might add to the cost too, but if the picture quality is very much compared to a digital camera, and the mobile is fully loaded, I dont think people will mind spending for one device rather than two. Anyways, lets wait for the real outcome and the quality of the picture.

Molding and CastingProbably not a good idea to go wander around machinery while sleep deprived
Boxy Cats
I decided to make a boxy cat-critter for my final project, and molded and casted the face and tail of this cat (the body would be laser-cut in clear acrylic).
I designed the mold in FreeCAD, both the part that would be cast (the cat's face and tail, about 8cm x 10cm) and the part that would be left around the outer rims of the material, to hold the molding composite in while it's setting. As the below picture shows, the center platform (where the cat's eyes and nose are) is lower than the outer "walls" of the model. I made sure the walls around the model had at least .5cm clearance over the model itself, because this .5cm would be how thick the bottom of my mold is, and the thicker the less likely the mold would be to break.
Shopbot and Milling Molds
Because this part was reasonably big, I decided to use the shopbot, which I'd heard was far faster than the modela for cutting out molds. I also didn't have very many small details on this mold, so the shopbot (with a 1/4in endmill) was perfect.
Attaching the machineable wax to the shopbot was a bit interesting, though; I couldn't just drill the wax block into the platform, because it was too thick, and Charles explicitly forbade me from hot glueing anything to the shopbot platform. I got around this by nailing a piece of MDF to the platform and gluing the wax to *that* instead.
Two things that failed: gluing the wax to foam (because MDF was hard to drill through initially) and trying to put too much hot glue on the MDF before putting the wax on. Foam flakes off incredibly easily and doesn't offer a good support for the wax, and the only time hot glue is sticky is when it's *hot* - when I waited for too long before putting the wax down, the glue cooled and hardened and the wax wouldn't stick. The below picture shows the hardened glue I had to pry off before I could try again.
Also keep in mind if the bit you're using is really long, the vacuum attached to the shopbot won't be able to suck up debris because it'll be too high up. Keep the shop vac handy.
Molding and Casting
The cutting finished pretty quickly, and aside from a few misleveled parts (and the shiny parts of the eyes were too small to cut out), the mold was really well made. I decided to fill this mold with Oomoo silicone rubber, because it seemed pretty sturdy. I measured the volume of the mold using water (filled the mold to the surface and then poured it into a cup), and then estimated the amount of oomoo I'd need from that.
ALTHOUGH Oomoo says it only needs 75 minutes to cure, in my experience I've found it to be more like 3 hours, possibly 4. Also, it ends up being really difficult to get all of the air bubbles out of the mixture, so you can see the below picture has a few holes. However, they're small and if you're casting with plaster, you can just snap off the bubbles after the cast is done.
I then cast using hydrostone: although the directions are extremely precise about how much parts of water to hydrostone you had to mix, I didn't have access to a scale and basically guesstimated. The resulting mold turned out perfectly fine, though, so it wasn't a big deal.
Extra: Instamold Sucks
I had a bit of time after finishing the two parts, and thought "what if I made the cast itself out of Oomoo?" Because oomoo seemed pretty fun to bat around and play with. But I couldn't use my oomoo mold for that (it'd stick to itself), so I tried to make a new mold out of the Instamold we also had in the lab.
The problem with this was that it was terribly cold in the shop that day and instamold is only "instant" in hot weather; I resorted to heat gunning it for about five minutes. (Don't do this at home.)
However, when I finally felt brave enough to pull the mold out, one of the cat's eyes came off and the consistency of the mold itself was barely stronger than gelatin. Apparently instamold is *really* bad for standalone molding; it won't hold its shape well without supports, which is why the instructions only mention using it in a cup. Basically, unless you're extremely pressed for time, don't try Instamold.
Older work
I unfortunately spent the majority of this week on a plane, and couldn't attend any of the casting-tutorial sections as a result. (Anya is a saint for helping me take notes and video and I'll be doing casting as soon as I can, with those as guidance)
As for molding, I wanted to try drawing a mold as a 2D image from the start, and made a traditional Chinese signature stamp to mill later. The main problem I can see with this design is that the modela's drill tip is pretty thick relative to the space (1/8in, and the block of wax we're working with is only 3in x 7in x 2in (?)), so the thin spacing between lines in the characters might be impossible to carve out unless I size-up the design and carve with a larger piece of material, or a smaller drill bit. I'll have to ask someone else's assistance later.
Further progress to come.

Stepan Belts Two Homers to Help Willamette Split Doubleheader
SALEM, ORE. -- Junior catcher Max Stepan (Pueblo, CO/Pueblo County HS) hit two home runs in the second game of Willamette University's doubleheader against Lewis & Clark College on Saturday, March 6, helping the Bearcats gain a split of the twinbill with a 10-8 victory. Lewis & Clark won the first game, 6-4.
Both teams are 3-6 on the season. Lewis & Clark is now 2-3 in the Northwest Conference, while Willamette is 1-1 in conference play. Saturday's doubleheader was the home opener and NWC opener for the Bearcats.
Bearcats Score 10 Runs on 11 Hits and 12 Walks in Game #2
In the second game, Stepan gave WU a 2-1 lead with one of his two 2-run homers. He launched the ball over the center field fence and into the trees at Bush's Pasture Park in the bottom of the first inning. Doug Bloom (Jr., SS, Salem, OR/South Salem HS), who started the inning with a single up the middle, also scored on the play.
Willamette added two runs in the second inning for a 4-1 advantage. Tim Schilf (So., 3B, Honolulu, HI/Iolani School) walked to open the stanza, moved to second on a ground out, stole third and scored the first run on a wild pitch. The second run was tallied by Eli Kass (Fr., 2B, Santa Cruz, CA/Santa Cruz HS), who walked and later crossed the plate on a single by Stepan.
Walks continued to plague the Lewis & Clark pitching staff throughout the second game, as the Pioneers walked a total of 12 batters. A balk and five wild pitches also aided the Willamette offense.
The Bearcats pounded out 11 hits in Game #2. Stepan led the way with a 3-for-3 performance, as he scored three runs and registered five RBIs. He also walked twice.
Stepan's second two-run homer cleared the center field fence in the fifth inning. Derek Collins (Fr., 1B, Yorba Linda, CA/Esperanza HS) followed Stepan with a walk and later scored on an infield ground out, as WU put up three runs during the inning for a 7-2 lead.
Willamette extended the lead to 10-3 by tallying three runs in the sixth inning on one hit and four walks. Collins brought in two of the runs with a bases-loaded single to center. The third run was scored by Stepan, who walked, moved to third on the single by Collins and scored on a wild pitch.
The Pioneers battled back with two runs in the seventh and four runs in the eighth. In the seventh, shortstop Sam Morgan drove in catcher Andrew Fisina with a two-out single. Morgan scored two batters later, when Eliot Smith's fly ball to left field was misplayed.
In the eighth. Jim Bray singled with one out, but Frisina hit into the second out on a fly ball to right field. Walks issued to Zach Perez and Michael Ball loaded the bases. Morgan powered a grand slam homer to center field, as WU's lead slipped to 10-8.
Relief pitcher Scott Martin (Sr., RHP, Honolulu, HI/Punahou School) entered the game after the next batter, Tucker Laurence, was hit by a pitch. Martin gave up a single to Smith, who was caught stealing in a 1-6-3 run-down. Laurence attempted to score from third on the play, but Smith was tagged out just before Laurence crossed the plate.
The game entered the last inning with the Bearcats still in front, 10-8. Freshman pitcher Parker Johnson (RHP, Carlsbad, CA/La Costa Canyon HS) made sure the lead held, as he faced just three batters in the top of the ninth to earn his first save.
WU starting pitcher Chris Torgerson (Jr., RHP, Sacramento, CA/Jesuit HS) went six innings and recorded the win. He improved to 2-1 on the season. He allowed six hits and two runs, while striking out two batters. David La Douceur took the loss for L&C.
Bloom was 2 for 4 with two runs during the game for Willamette. Collins also went 2 for 4, while scoring once and driving in two runs. Mitchell Rowan (So., RF, Cotati, CA/Rancho Cotate HS) went 1 for 2 with two walks and two runs.
For Lewis & Clark, Morgan finished the game 3 for 5 with two runs and five RBIs. Bray was 2 for 4 and crossed the plate one time.
Pioneers Build 6-0 Lead in Game #1
Willamette's offense, which entered the day with a string of 23 consecutive scoreless innings, struggled on offense during the early part of the first game. Through six innings, the Bearcats had five hits and no runs, while L&C held a 5-0 lead. Even so, WU created a couple of scoring chances during those six innings.
In the fourth, Schilf doubled and moved to third on a fly out by Rowan, but was thrown attempting to score after catcher Geoff Wertz threw wildly to the mound. Stepan also doubled following a walk issued to T.C. Lee (Jr., LF, Lafayette, CA/Acalanes HS), but both runners were left on base when starting pitcher Alex St. Pierre ended the inning with a strikeout.
In the sixth, Schilf singled and Rowan doubled with one out. St. Pierre forced Lee to strike out and Stepan to ground out to end the inning.
The Pioneers tacked on a run in the top of the seventh when Laurence scored from third just before Nate Grisham was caught stealing between first and second for the final out of the stanza. L&C owned a 6-0 advantage.
Willamette put three runs on the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh. Collins singled to start the inning and gave way to pinch runner Mikey Lemon (So., OF, McMinnville, OR/McMinnville HS/Linfield College). Dylan Summers (So., C, Lake Oswego, OR/Lakeridge HS) walked, then both runners advanced one base on a passed ball.
Lemon scored on a ground out by Tyson Giza (Fr., CF, Salem, OR/Sprague HS) and Summers crossed the plate on another throwing mistake by Wertz. Bloom followed with a solo home run, his first of the season.
WU had the bases loaded with one out in the eighth, but was unable to score. In the ninth, Bloom singled and stole second base. He scored two outs later, when Samuel Sopko (Fr., OF, Missoula, MT/Loyola Sacred Heart HS) reached first on an error. Stepan flied out to left field to end the game.
Lewis & Clark was led by Ball, who went 2 for 5 with two solo home runs. Laurence also went 2 for 5 and hit one solo homer. Roland Greene was 2 for 4 and Sam Holman was 2 for 3. Bloom finished the game 2 for 5 with two runs and an RBI for Willamette. Stepan went 2 for 5 and Schilf finished the game 2 for 4.
St. Pierre was the winning pitcher for L&C. He registered eight strikeouts during the game. Devin Grindy (Jr., RHP, Washougal, WA/Camas HS) of Willamette fell to 1-1 with the loss.
The teams will conclude the series with one game on Sunday, March 7. First pitch at John Lewis Field is slated for 12 p.m. (PST).

Bare Island is a small island in Botany Bay. In 1877 it was decided that a fort was to be built on the island. Botany Bay was considered the back door into Sydney, thus making the city vulnerable to a seaborne attack.
