Hey all...been thinking about saying hello for a while. It's been a crazy year to say the least. Think I'm starting to pull myself together a bit now, but it's been a journey and some major learning experiences. I can honestly say this last two years has had more impact on me than probably any other time in my life. Some of it good and for good, some not so good, but trying to make good of it anyway. It all is what it is, as they say. I've been recovering from my back surgery pretty well. Generally okay now, except my back isn't what it used to be, and my poor withered right leg is definitely not. But...I sadly admit I have not been good about doing my stretching and strengthening exercises, and so am my own worst enemy. However...I have begun to do some quilting again. Somewhere on this blog I have some photos of a quilt I finished a couple years ago, and I just made a queen-sized quilt for my daughter Amy. Now I am working on another original design. The photo at the top with the bright pink is the drawing I did on the computer, and the second photo is it coming to life in fabric. It's about 4' x 4 1/2' I think-ish. Its been great to get creative again, after some stagnate time. I will try and keep you posted on the progress. Hope you all are well, and great seeing your work, as always.

Here's your Christmas card!!!!
So I did something funny the other day. I posted this photo here that you see-on Facebook. And I often go back the next day to look at them again (maybe see if someone said something, or just to remind myself of how super creative and special I am ;) and it's a good thing I did this time, cause...the photo you see now is a new re-edited version of the one I posted. The one I posted, upon taking a second look, realized I could clearly see my breast in all it's spectacular 46 year old glory, poking around behind Rich's arm. So if you ever watched Seinfeld and thought it unrealistic that Elaine would inadvertantly send out christmas cards with her nipple exposed...think again! It is indeed possible. Thought this photo was cool though, cause of the way he moved his hand during the shot it seems to melt into my face.

Nothin bout nothin
Here's an impulsive little post, and then I might just disappear for another year or so again! Last postings I was applying to grad schools....uh yah....kinda went another direction for various reasons. I need a bona fide job-the kind I can pay bills and support myself with, and still have enough money left to occasionally do other stuff-like have fun or something-so I am in my last semester of school training to be a massage therapist. Can't exactly say it's a life time dream come true, but it's been pretty good. Met some great people, and I'm told I have a knack. We'll see if that translates into $$ someday! Someday soon hopefully, I will have the money, time and DEDICATION, to pursue some clay work and writing, if for nothing else than an artistic/creative pursuit. We'll see! Still peek in occasionally to see what everyone is up to, and hope all are well!

Sooo Pretty . . .
Ehllo....for lack of any other "art" to post, I pulled these out the other day. Some cartoons I drew at work a couple of years ago. I had just seen Bruno before drawing this one, and it was also Thanksgiving time, so it was natural of course to combine the two...
Not that anyone is following my sure to be long ordeal of applying to grad school, but I am getting close to narrowing it down to about five schools. I'm thinking Alfred, University of California Long Beach, Chicago Institute of Art, Montanna University and maybe R.I.T. Years back I wanted to apply to R.I.T. mainly because Julia Galloway taught there, but it seems she has since moved to Montanna to teach if my research is correct-hence my interest in Montanna.
I can say of this process that I wish the application process was a little more unified between schools. Already, I have THREE different formats of portfolios going (I have a feeling that number will grow). One school wants the GRE test, another wants the MAT, two letters here with this form but do it this way over there. I'm just plodding along through it. Well, that's it for now.

Oh dear . . .
Hello all! It's been so long since I've posted. I have kept an eye on what's going on, but been distracted myself. A lot has happened! Let's see...I lost my job! Kind of a bad thing, but actually a blessing in disguise. I have been wanting to go to Graduate School for a very long time to get my MFA so I can teach ceramics in a college somewhere...and this was really a boot to get me going. I was looking around and applying to all the jobs that I DON'T want to have for the rest of my working life and I'm like: eureka! Of course! I shall pursue my dream. But getting fired has it's downside. Lack of money, having to move out of my apartment and was a bit of a blow to my self-esteem for a while, but I'm back! Applying to grad school is so much work! Daunting, especially when you multiply it by 5 or 6 places, but I'm plugging along. So this photo I attached is an early attempt at using Photoshop Elements 9. I can't wait till I have time to really study the program. Mind boggling what you can do with it. Another photo of moi'. I'm kind of into self-portraiture lately. I hope everyone is doing great and I will try to post a little more often and let you know if I get in! I am applying so far to: University of Montanna, Alfred, R.I.T., University of California, Long Beach, and my old Alma Mata Plymouth State!

Death and Taxes and Rainbows
People don't change. It is the idiom that no one wants to believe. You always want to believe that everyone exists in the same mental reality that you do. In the sense that they think about the things they do, their actions, the effects of those actions, and they always want to do better by them-for themselves and for everyone in their lives. But it's not true.
Most people only exist for what is the better for them. It is just the sad truth. And so when people tell you "he'll never change", "she'll never change", it's not because they are being cynical, and you want so much to believe that they: JUST DON'T GET IT. They: JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS PERSON THE WAY YOU DO. But the truth is . . . that they do. Maybe they don't understand that particular person, and so they have no emotional attachment to cloud their views. But they at least understand human nature, in a way that dreamers and artists rarely do. We are optimistic! Visionary! We see potential where others see blank canvas and maybe just a lump of misshapen clay. Where they see chaos or fear-inducing uncertainty, or so much potential, that it just stops them dead in their tracks without even trying-we often see hope and a vision. And who is right?
I guess it depends on whether it is life or art, or life imitating art-which is usually the mind of the artist. We can't let go of the reality of failure. A failure is just an opportunity that we might not have seen with our eyes glued to perfection and our original vision. So who is right?
I don't know. It depends I guess on what you view as right or successful. Safety? Peace? Predictablility? Everything going according to the great happy plan? And maybe you thrive on chaos. Maybe you thrive on drama. Maybe you thrive on the anxiety and intensity of it all. Or maybe it rips you to shreds, as you realize, that no matter how optimistic you are, no matter how many colors of paint that you layer, over layer, over layer, you still can't let go of the work. You can't just step away and go: done. I should stop now. And so you keep on swirling that brush around and around; blues, greens, yellows, reds . . . but it doesn't matter. You just end up with a murky, greyish- brown. It is one thing, other then death and taxes that is certain. You can layer all the colors you want, and mix them fervently with all the hope you have, but you will never end up with a rainbow.
They might be right.

On the right side of the Queen
Oh dear. It's been almost a week and I've nothing to write about. Or rather-nothing I wish to write about . . . oh my. Life is a conundrum, an experience, an exchange of ideas and tolerances and expectations and beliefs and . . . it's life. Let's see . . . never one to want to disappoint, let's come up with a story.
Once upon a time there was a girl who lived in a forest. This was an ordinary forest except for one thing . . . there were no trees. This forest was full. It was hard to navigate and explore, so dense and full of objects and obstacles it was. But instead of chipmunks, and trees, and salamanders and wood-nymphs, there were only ideas, beliefs and philosophies. And there were paths . . . many . . . to choose.
One day, this forest-princess set out on a journey to become what she should be, and instead, discovered a path of who what she could be, if only she were to open her mind and heart and close her pre-conceptions of the world in front of her and what is was she thought it expected of her and would praise.
And she woke up one morning, her heart light and full of hope and peace, and discovered that she had not felt hopeless about herself, as much as hopeless about that idea. Of life empty of the love of one, who although would never seat her at the right side of the Queen, would seat her at the right side of herself. A life of love, and tenderness, and her heart's beauty . . . none of which had been witnessed in quite that way before.
And it was a splendid thing.

The 21-year-old striker took his medical with Sociedad on Thursday morning before penning a four-year contract with the Primera Division outfit.
A club statement read: "Real Sociedad have reached an agreement with Fiorentina for the signing of striker Haris Seferovic. The club have also finalised an agreement with the Swiss international for his incorporation into our team until June 30, 2017.
"Seferovic will return to his country today to resolve personal matters and will be officially presented by the club at the start of next week."
Seferovic, who becomes Sociedad's second summer signing after the return of Jose Angel on loan, joined Fiorentina from Grasshoppers in 2010 and has spent loan spells at Neuchatel Xamax, Lecce and Novara in the last three years.
Sociedad finished fourth in the Primera Division last season after leapfrogging above Valencia on the final day. Coach Philippe Montanier left at the end of the campaign with his assistant Jagoba Arrasate being promoted to take his place on the bench.

Starting Your Docket Search
1) Federal or State: do you need a docket for a federal or state case?
- Federal: Bloomberg Law, Westlaw, Lexis, or ask a librarian about accessing PACER
- State: try to find a free court website before accessing a subscription database
2) Time frame: older materials may not be available electronically
- Check date coverage information for electronic database
3) Filings: Do you just need the docket sheet, or do you also need to access the underlying filings?
- Fewer resources are going to provide access to filings, but you can often look many places for the docket sheet.
- In the box to the right is an edited version of a docket sheet. It is typical in that it doesn't provide links to the actual documents. Some databases, such as PACER, do provide such links.
What Are Dockets, And Why Would I Want To Find One?
Dockets basically are a summary of proceedings in a case. They provide a handy way of keeping track of what is happening (or what happened) in a particular case and can also lead a researcher to the documents that were filed in that case. A docket sheet will typically supply the names of the parties and attorneys, the docket number and the name of judge, and important dates(e.g., the date that the case was filed, when the last action occurred).
Most importantly, a docket will provide a list of actions that have occurred since the case was filed. For example, you could see when documents such as pleadings, motions, or briefs were filed or served. Some electronic dockets will also provide access to an electronic version, such as a PDF, of the actual filings. PACER, for example, usually supplies links to many of the documents that are referenced on a case's docket sheet. This guide will indicate when filings are available.

Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof is designed to be a text for to first course in the college mathematics curriculum that focuses on the development of mathematics. The primary goals of the text are as
This type of course is becoming a standard part of the mathematics major at most colleges and universities. It is often referred to as a "transition course" from the calculus sequence to the upper level courses in the major. The transition is from the problem-solving orientation of calculus to the more abstract and theoretical upper-level courses. This is needed today because the principal goals of most calculus courses are developing students' understanding of the concepts of calculus and improving their problem-solving skills. Consequently, most students complete their study of calculus without seeing a formal proof or having constructed a proof of their own. This is in contrast to many upper-level mathematics courses, where the emphasis is on the formal development of abstract mathematical ideas, and the expectations are that students will be able to read and understand proofs and to construct and write coherent, understandable mathematical proofs.
Important Features of the Book
Mathematical Reasoning was written to assist students with the transition from calculus to upper level mathematics courses. Students should be able to use this text with a background of one semester of calculus. Following are some of the important ways this text will help with this transition.
1. Emphasis on Writing in Mathematics
The issue of writing mathematical exposition is addressed throughout the book. Guidelines for writing mathematical proofs are incorporated into the text. These guidelines are introduced as needed and begin in Chapter 1. Appendix A contains a summary of all the guidelines for writing mathematical proofs that are introduced in the text. In addition, every attempt has been made to ensure that each proof presented in this text is written according to these guidelines in order to provide students with examples of well-written proofs.
2. Instruction in the Process of Constructing Proofs
One of the primary goals of this book is to develop students' abilities to construct mathematical proofs. Another goal is to develop their abilities to write the proof in a coherent manner that conveys an understanding of the proof to the reader. These are two distinct skills.
Instruction on how to write proofs begins in Section 1.2 and is developed further in Chapter 3. In addition, Chapter 5 is devoted to developing students' abilities to construct proofs using mathematical induction. Students are taught to organize their thought processes when attempting to construct a proof with a so-called know-show table. (See Sections 1.2 and 3.1.) Students use this table to work backward from what it is they are trying to prove while at the same time working forward from the assumptions of the problem.
3. Emphasis on Active Learning
One of the underlying premises of this text is that the best way to learn and understand mathematics is to be actively involved in the learning process. However, it is unreasonable to expect students to go out and learn mathematics on their own. Students actively involved in learning mathematics need appropriate materials that will provide guidance and support in their learning of mathematics. This text provides these by incorporating two or three Preview Activities for each section and some activities within each section based on the material in that section. These activities can be done individually or in a collaborative learning setting, where students work in groups to brainstorm, make conjectures, test each others' ideas, reach consensus, and, it is hoped, develop sound mathematical arguments to support their work.
The Preview Activities at the beginning of each section should be completed by the students prior to the classroom discussion of the section. The purpose of the Preview Activities is to prepare students to participate in the classroom discussion of the section. Some Preview Activities will review prior mathematical work that is necessary for the new section. This prior work may contain material from previous mathematical courses or it may contain material covered earlier in this text. Other preview activities will introduce new concepts and definitions that will be used when that section is discussed in class.
In addition to the Preview Activities, each section of the text contains two or three activities related to the material contained in that section. These activities can be used for in-class group work or can be assigned as homework in addition to the exercises at the end of each section.
Content and Organization
Mathematical content is needed as a vehicle for learning how to construct and write proofs. The mathematical content for this text is drawn primarily from elementary number theory, including congruence arithmetic; elementary set theory; functions, including injections, surjections, and the inverse of a function; relations and equivalence relations; further topics in number theory such as greatest common divisors and prime factorizations; and cardinality of sets, including countable and uncountable sets. This material was chosen because it can be used to illustrate a broad range of proof techniques and it is needed as a prerequisite for many upper level mathematics courses.
The chapters in the text can roughly be divided into the following (possibly overlapping) classes:
The first chapter sets the stage for the rest of the book. It introduces the writing guidelines, discusses conditional statements, and begins instruction in the process of constructing a direct proof of a conditional statement. This is not meant to be a thorough introduction to methods of proof. Before this is done, it is necessary to introduce the students to the parts of logic that are needed to aid in the construction of proofs. This is done in Chapter 2.
Students need to learn some logic and gain experience in the traditional language and proof methods used in mathematics. Since this is a text that deals with constructing and writing mathematical proofs, the logic that, is presented in Chapter 2 is intended to aid in the construction of proofs. The goals are to provide students with a thorough understanding of conditional statements, quantifiers, and logical equivalencies. Emphasis is placed on writing correct and useful negations of statements, especially those involving quantifiers. The logical equivalencies that are presented provide the logical basis for some of the standard proof techniques, such as proof by contrapositive, proof by contradiction, and proof using cases.
The standard methods for mathematical proofs are discussed in detail in Chapter 3. The mathematical content that is introduced to illustrate these proof methods is some elementary number theory, including congruence arithmetic. These concepts are used consistently throughout the text as a way to demonstrate ideas in direct proof, proof by contrapositive, proof by contradiction, proof by cases, and proofs using mathematical induction. This gives students a strong introduction to an important mathematical idea, while providing the instructor a consistent reference point and an example of how mathematical notation can greatly simplify a concept.
In Chapter 4, we take a break from introducing new proof techniques. Concepts of set theory are introduced, and the methods of proof studied in Chapter 3 are used to prove results about sets and operations on sets. The idea of an "element-chasing proof" is introduced in Section 4.2.
The three sections of Chapter 5 are devoted to proofs using mathematical induction. Again, the emphasis is not only on understanding mathematical induction but also on developing the ability to construct and write proofs that use mathematical induction.
The last four chapters are considered "mathematical content" chapters. Chapter 6 provides a thorough study of functions. The idea is to begin with a review of functions from previous courses so that students have a base from which to work. This notion of function is then extended to the general definition of function. Various proof techniques are employed in the study of injections, surjections, composition of functions, and inverses of functions.
Chapter 7 introduces the concepts of relations and equivalence relations. Section 7.4 is included to provide a link between the concept of an equivalence relation and the number theory that has been discussed throughout the text.
Chapter 8 continues the study of number theory. The highlights include problems dealing with greatest common divisors, prime numbers, the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, and linear Diophantine equations.
Finally, Chapter 9 deals with further topics in set theory, focusing on cardinality, finite sets, countable sets, and uncountable sets.
A standard one-semester course in constructing and writing proofs should cover the first six chapters of the text and at least one of Chapter 7, Chapter 8, or Chapter 9. A class consisting of well-prepared and motivated students could cover two of the last three chapters. In addition, there are a few options that an instructor could choose to tailor the course to her or his needs. For example,
Supplementary Materials for the Instructor
The instructor's manual for this text includes suggestions on how to use the text, how to incorporate writing into the course, and how to use the preview activities and activities. The manual also includes solutions for all of the preview activities, activities, and exercises. In addition, for each section, there is a description of the purpose of each preview activity and how it is used in the corresponding section, and there are suggestions about how to use each activity in that section. The intention is to make it as easy as possible for the instructor to use the text in an active learning environment.

First Look: A Glass of Cocktail History at Punch House in Chicago
"Punch is a loan word from the Hindi language, from the word meaning five," explains Will Duncan, the beverage manager at Punch House. "Punch is a balance of five flavors; it always balances strong, weak, bitter, sour, and sweet." This is the first of many lessons in history and mixology to be learned at Punch House, Chicago's first punch-focused cocktail bar, owned by the team behind The Empty Bottle and Longman & Eagle.

These are the nuttiest times for squirrels! Why?
The month earlier (Sept. 8) opener may not be enough to renew interest in the Mountain State's one time bread and butter of a game species.
Apparently no one ever told the squirrel hunters to eat more venison, but that's exactly what they've been doing for more than a generation now. But for hunters both young and old, these could just be the best of times to be in the squirrel woods, period.
Though most of the older folks cut their hunting teeth on squirrels, they have largely abandoned them for another girl in town, the white-tailed deer.
There simply weren't many deer around for them to chase back when. On the other hand, the younger generation got started out of the gate on deer and in combination with dad and granddad, kind of broke the rich tradition of West Virginia squirrel hunting and many of the "gravy" recipes right along with it.
WVDNR hopes that the earlier opening will bring some of that squirrel tradition back to life for both young and old alike, but particularly with the former in mind.
Folks now have a little more time between you guessed it, archery deer season to get out there and hunt a bit before that magnetic attraction for deer again draws them away.
Many an old timer once lamented the lack of such an early season opener for a chance at the squirrels before "all the hickory nuts were cut out."
So here's that chance and be sure to take a youngster along if you can. Squirrels are common and found just about anywhere there are trees big enough to produce acorns, hickory and other nut crop staples.
What's more, on the statewide or "landscape" habitat picture, mature to semi-mature hardwood stands of nut producing vintage are approaching colonial time coverage.
Likewise, hunting pressure for them is about the lowest in decades. So for those that go, you'll have the squirrel woods all but to yourself. Thus, these are the best of times to hunt squirrel.
Hunting is deemed to have little or no impact on the abundant critters. Instead, Mother Nature's nut crop delved out the prior autumn is closely correlated with the prevailing number of squirrels.
For the reason of modest mast last fall, statewide populations are thus considered to be fair to middling at present. Though this year's official nut mast survey is being compiled at this time, it looks like it is decent at present. That's where the squirrels will be.
Finding those nut producing zones, the squirrels and their nut "cuttings" is the fun of the sport and a great way to check in on the deer, turkey and other wildlife of your hunting area at the same time.
Who knows, maybe another nutty tradition of sorts may be in the making.

Free Food at a St. Charles KFC -- If You Know the Secret Password (We Do!)
Categories: Media, Restaurant News & Reviews
|Image via
|So good? So terrifying is more like it.
Yup. That's it. "So good."
(To be fair, Victoria's Secret already trademarked "Very Sexy.")
At any rate, the fast-food chain held a contest on its social media "channels" -- is that what we're calling them now? -- in which fans voted for towns "So Good" that they deserve free food.
Guess what, St. Charles? You won. On Thursday, June 17, the KFC at 620 South 5th Street will give a free Big Crunch Box (a $5 value) to the first 100 customers who know the secret word.
Of course, you have two questions:
1) What the hell is a "Big Crunch Box"?
2) What is the secret password?
Fear not. Gut Check has both answers after the jump.
1) The "Big Crunch Box," according to the KFC website, is "three Extra Crispy Strips, Potato Wedges, a biscuit and a medium drink."
2) You can learn the secret password by visiting one of KFC's aforementioned social media "channels."
We already did! Below are five phrases. One of them is the winner. Choose the correct one and then go claim your free Big Crunch Box!
- That gum you like is going to come back in style.
- This Double Down sandwich won't clear my colon.
- KFC is so good.
- Show Mommy on the doll where the Colonel touched you.
- Is that a vuvuzela in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Well, there is a complicated formula involving physics, quantum mechanics, and integral calculus, but in the end it all gets multiplied by the chance of a TKD guy actually landing a roundhouse kick in an actual fight, and since that chance is ZERO, the answer is that both the minimum AND maximum force are zero.Jesus loves you. I think you're an asshole.

I got to say my wording came all wrong. The book does not say you can use momentum in place of force. That was my wording that came up all wrong. That was just a simplification for such a short falling distance... I'll get back to you one that one a bit later as I'm doing two things at once.
Just to clarify that the authors do not make that claim...
plus I wanted to refer more to the transfer of momentum rather than force, which gives a more accurate picture of the damage inflicted upon impact.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris

About People in the Metro
I like observing people in Moscow's metropolitan while they are taking a nap (or "snoozing [1]. It's always some bouts [2] of fun! There are old people, weirdos, alcoholics, young mothers, youths, and so on and so forth. Someone is returning back home after a party, someone is on the way to work, and someone just has nothing else to do. It's amusing when you notice a person who is tilting to one side, losing consciousness, or struggling with a drowsiness.

[1] "take a nap" is not wrong. But that makes it sound like the person's goal in entering the metro system is to go to sleep for a while. If you say "snooze," it sounds like a tired person simply falls asleep without really intending to.
[2] I don't understand the use of the word "bouts" in this context.
Very well written and amusing.

St. John USVI Flora: American Cotton
Before the "discovery" of the New World, the only cotton available to Europe came from Africa. Since the fibers of this variety of cotton were too short for it to be woven, clothing was usually made from wool.
The Tainos, the people that the European explorers encountered on their voyages to the "New World," grew a variety of cotton with long fibers, from which they wove fabrics and made hammocks. This discovery must have been a great improvement in the
European's quality of life, and now, thanks to the Tainos, people worldwide can enjoy soft, comfortable cotton clothing.

Berries in season, outdoor concerts and dining al fresco. These and other summer pleasures can make the season a joy. Not so true of the mosquitoes, ticks and other biting or stinging bugs that join us in the great outdoors.
The worst culprits are bugs that bring potentially serious diseases such as West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis and Lyme disease. Fortunately, these affect relatively few of us. In 2012, mosquitoes infected 290 Illinoisans with West Nile, resulting in 12 deaths. Lyme disease, which is carried by deer ticks, is even rarer in Illinois. But hiking the woods of Wisconsin may call for some extra caution; it's among the highest states in Lyme Disease infection rates.
For most of us, the bugs of summer create a minor annoyance, in the form of itchy, swollen bumps. Tina Bhargava, MD, of the Edward Medical Group, offers the following tips for keeping these pests from ruining your summer fun:

David Cameron, in full David William Donald Cameron (born October 9, 1966, London, England), British Conservative Party leader who served as prime minister of the United Kingdom (2010– ).
Early life and start in politics
Cameron, a descendant of King William IV, was born into a family with both wealth and an aristocratic pedigree. He attended Eton College and Brasenose College, Oxford, from which he graduated (1988) with a first-class degree in philosophy, politics, and economics. After Oxford he joined the Conservative Party Research Department. In 1992 he became a special adviser to Norman Lamont, then chancellor of the Exchequer, and the following year he undertook the same role for Michael Howard, then home secretary. Cameron joined the media company Carlton Communications in 1994 as director of corporate affairs. He stayed at Carlton until he entered Parliament in 2001 as MP for Witney, northwest of London.
Cameron—young, moderate, and charismatic—quickly attracted attention as the leading member of a new generation of Conservatives. He was widely compared to Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, who had acquired a similar reputation when he entered Parliament 18 years earlier. After just two years as an MP, Cameron was appointed to his party's "front bench"—making him a leading Conservative spokesman in the House of Commons. In 2004 Howard, by then party leader, appointed his young protégé to the post of head of policy coordination, which put Cameron in charge of preparing the Conservatives' 2005 election manifesto. The party, however, suffered a heavy defeat at the polls, provoking Howard's resignation. Cameron's self-assured speech at the party's annual conference in October 2005 transformed his reputation, and he was subsequently elected Conservative leader.
Cameron's revitalization of the Conservatives
Cameron sought to modernize the party and shed its right-wing image. He announced that economic stability and strong public services would take priority over tax cuts in the next Conservative government. Under his leadership the party grew in popularity and placed first in the 2006 local elections; it was the Conservatives' best showing at the polls in some 15 years.
In the immediate aftermath of Gordon Brown's succeeding Blair as Labour leader and prime minister in 2007, the Conservatives began to trail in the polls, encouraging the prime minister to consider calling a snap election to capitalize on Labour's momentum. By the time Labour held its party conference in September, it had taken a double-digit lead over the Conservatives. But, at the Conservative Party conference in early October, Cameron made an impressive speech, talking for more than an hour without a script. In reference to the upcoming European Union summit in Lisbon to negotiate a treaty on reform, Cameron lambasted Brown for ruling out a referendum on an agreement (contrary to the prime minister's commitment to hold one on a European constitution). In addition to other issues, Cameron also was critical of Labour's performance on crime and with regard to the National Health Service (NHS). Most daringly, despite trailing in the polls, he goaded the prime minister to call an election:
So, Mr Brown, what's it going to be? Why don't you go ahead and call that election? Let the people pass judgement on 10 years of broken promises. Let people decide who's really making the arguments about the future of our country. Let people decide who can make the changes that we really need in our country. Call that election. We will fight. Britain will win.
The performance won wide praise, and in its aftermath Brown announced that there would be no general election before 2009. Later that month, after Brown had attended the EU summit in Lisbon, at which the 27 member countries agreed on the detailed wording of the treaty, Cameron followed up with his earlier criticism, arguing that Brown had "absolutely no democratic mandate to sign this without a referendum." By December the Conservatives had taken a clear lead in the opinion polls, ahead of Labour by up to 13 percent—the biggest lead for the Conservatives since 1989.
The global economic crisis in 2008 helped Cameron solidify the Conservatives' position. Though Brown was widely praised outside of Britain for his approach to the crisis, his promise in 1997 that the days of economic "boom and bust" were over played to Cameron's advantage, as did an internal revolt by Labour ministers in 2008. In March 2009 Cameron made good on a promise to remove the Conservatives from the European People's Party, a mainstream alliance of conservative parties in the European Parliament. On June 4 the Conservatives topped the poll in the European Parliament elections, and Cameron had the Conservatives enter the legislative body as members of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group.
A parliamentary-expenses scandal, which had been brewing since 2007, broke in May 2009 when the Daily Telegraph reported on widespread abuse by members of Parliament of expense accounts meant to offset the cost of having to maintain a second residence (the so-called Additional Costs Allowance). The scandal cut across party lines, but Labour suffered the brunt of public criticism, and Cameron responded by arguing that the public had a "right to be angry." Although the polling numbers for Cameron and the Conservatives showed a decline from peaks in early 2009, he and the party appeared to be well positioned for the general election on May 6, 2010.
Prime ministership
The Conservative–Liberal Democratic coalition government
Voters gave the Conservatives their biggest seat gain since 1931, but the total still fell short of an outright majority. Days of political wrangling followed the election, with negotiators from the Conservative and Labour parties courting Liberal Democratic leader Nick Clegg in an effort to form a government. On May 11, after it appeared that the prospect of a "Lib-Lab" coalition would not bear fruit, Brown resigned as prime minister and was replaced by Cameron. He came to power at the head of a Conservative–Liberal Democratic coalition government—Britain's first coalition government since World War II—in which Clegg became deputy prime minister. The two leaders seemed to quickly become comfortable with each other, perhaps because of their shared age (both were 43) and similar backgrounds.
In June Cameron addressed Parliament in response to the report of Lord Saville's 12-year official inquiry into the events of "Bloody Sunday," which found that British soldiers had been responsible for the deaths of 14 nationalist demonstrators in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, in 1972 and that those demonstrators had posed no serious threat to the soldiers. "The government is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the forces," Cameron said, "and for that, on behalf of the government—indeed, on behalf of our country—I am deeply sorry."
One of the cornerstones of the Conservative-Liberal power-sharing agreement was a pledge to formulate a budget-reduction plan in short order. In October the man whom Cameron had appointed chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, announced a five-year austerity plan that included Britain's most extensive spending cuts in decades, notably reductions to welfare entitlements and layoffs of up to 500,000 public-sector employees.
Early in 2011 the Middle East and North Africa were swept by a series of popular uprisings that became known as the Arab Spring. In February Cameron became the first Western leader to visit Egypt after Hosni Mubarak was ousted from power. Another event in the region, the revolt in Libya, particularly captured the attention of Cameron, who became an outspoken critic of ruler Muammar al-Qaddafi's brutal repression of the rebels in Libya. Cameron's calls for military intervention in that country and especially for the imposition of a no-fly zone to protect Libyan civilians from Qaddafi's forces were echoed by French Pres. Nicolas Sarkozy. Together they played a pivotal role in winning the UN Security Council's authorization of a no-fly zone on March 17. Shortly thereafter a coalition of U.S. and European forces with warplanes and cruise missiles began attacking targets in Libya in an effort to disable Libya's air force.
The results of the May 2011 local government elections in Britain, especially those for local councils in England, appeared to indicate that Conservative voters were more comfortable than Liberal Democrats with the deficit-reducing austerity measures introduced by the government. The Conservatives made moderate gains to their presence in local government, but their coalition partners experienced their worst performance at the polls since the founding of the Liberal Democrats. In the wake of the election, relations between Cameron and Clegg and their parties were widely described as having become more businesslike in nature. This cooling of coalition camaraderie was largely the result of the Conservatives' active opposition to a Liberal Democrats-initiated referendum on a change from first-past-the-post elections to the alternative vote, which was strongly rejected by British voters.
Following the Scottish Nationalist Party's overwhelming victory in the 2011 elections for the Scottish Parliament, Alex Salmond, the first minister of Scotland, announced that he would be forwarding a referendum on independence. Cameron announced that he would respect Scotland's efforts in that direction but would "campaign to keep our United Kingdom together with every single fibre that I have."
When the scandal involving the illegal hacking of telephone voice mails by reporters from the News of the World newspaper exploded in July 2011, Cameron was caught in the fallout. Andy Coulson, Cameron's communications chief, had already left that post in January of the same year in the wake of the growing evidence tying him to the scandal. Coulson had served as the editor of News of the World from 2003 to 2007, when he stepped down after early revelations of the phone hacking came to light. Initially, Cameron had been supportive of Coulson after he left his government post, but, as the scandal deepened in July, Cameron said that he regretted having hired Coulson. Cameron announced on July 13 that a senior judge, Lord Justice Sir Brian Leveson, would head a public inquiry into both the hacking scandal and Britain's system of media regulation.
In early August 2011 Cameron faced a new challenge, as a profusion of neighbourhoods in and around London as well as in a number of other British cities erupted in riots characterized by widespread looting, arson, and destruction of property. The civil disorder was sparked on the night of August 6 when a protest in the North London area of Tottenham over the police shooting of a young man escalated into rioting, which began spreading the next day. "This is criminality pure and simple, and it has to be confronted and defeated," announced Cameron on August 9 as some 16,000 policemen prepared to take to the streets of London that night. Cameron also called members of Parliament back to London for discussion of the riots. In a speech on August 15, Cameron blamed "a broken society" for a "slow-motion moral collapse." In a separate statement he promised tougher measures, especially against people living in rented social housing in the event that any member of the family broke the law.
The Cameron government's first major social innovation started to bear fruit in September 2011 with the opening of the first 24 "Free Schools," which were free to students and funded by the government but able to operate independently of local councils. The government enacted another major change in October at a meeting of Commonwealth leaders in Australia, where it was agreed that the British crown could pass to the firstborn child, regardless of sex, and that the ban, more than 300 years old, on a British monarch's marrying a Roman Catholic was no longer valid. Also in October, the retirement age was set to rise to 66 by 2020 for public-sector workers, and mandatory retirement was lifted. In December Cameron took the nearly unprecedented step of vetoing a proposal supported by the other 26 EU heads of government to amend the EU's rules to reduce the risks of future financial crisis in the euro zone. It was the first major proposal rejected by Britain since it joined the European Community.

Freshman Ewan Scott (St. Andrews, Scotland) led the team with a one-over par 73. He had 15 pars, one birdie and two bogeys. The 15 level scores is a season-best by a Moc.
"Ewan did a great job working from his last round to this one," Head Coach Mark Guhne said. "This is just the start. He is very talented. We knew it was just a matter of working on his game. Ewan played so much over the summer and then right out of the gate for us here…his swing got a little out of whack.
"He certainly got that straightened out."
Chris Robb (Aberdeenshire, Scotland), Davis Bunn (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Wes Gosselin (Knoxville) rounded out the counting scores. Robb shot a 75 (+3), while Bunn and Gosselin each registered four-over 76's. Stuart Thomas (Knoxville) had the drop score with an 81.
Georgia Tech is the early leader at 282 (-6). The Yellow Jackets are one stroke ahead of Virginia Tech at 283. Host Mercer is third, another shot back at 284. Georgia's Keith Mitchell, playing as an individual, sits atop the leaderboard after a 65 (-7).
Liam Johnston (Dumfries, Scotland), the Mocs' individual in the field, is tied for seventh after a two-under par 70. He just missed qualifying for the starting lineup. Johnston was entered after Air Force was required to withdraw due to ongoing government issues.
Chattanooga begins round two on the 10th hole at 9:10 a.m. Paired with Georgia State and the five individuals in the field, Thomas opens with Gosselin (9:20), Bunn (9:30), Robb (9:40) and Scott (9:50). Johnston is in Robb's group. Click the link above to access live scoring over the final 36 holes and follow @GoMocsMGLF on Twitter for updates.

Hi, I'm Betty. Welcome to Betty's Kitchen. Today, we're going to do a Fillet Beef Casserole. The idea is to make it taste like a Fillet Steak Sandwich. We're going to put those cans of ingredients in but it's going to turn out in casserole form and I think you'll like it.
Let's get our noodles, our pasta started. Here I have something that's called campanelle and I have 16 ounces of it. I only need about six or seven ounces which would be about 3/8 or so of this bag, about half or less than half. So I'm going to just estimate and that would be perfect anyway and I'm going to pour it in. We're going to let that cook on low heat. Actually, I had the water salted, it's about halfway up and I had it salted and boiling rapidly and it's coming back to a boil so I'm going to turn the heat down and let it just cook on low heat. That will cook about six to eight minutes. We will want it to be a little chewy, not quite completely done because it's going to bake in the oven in a casserole.
What we need to do next is to soften some onions because our vegetable in this casserole is going to be onion. And I picked out a medium sized onion and took half of it. So I just sliced it in half and then the technique was to slice this in half and then go down and make individual cuts so that we have these nice quarter circles. This turned into about a cup of them and I usually will use about half cup vegetables for my casseroles, but these are very loosely packed. And when we sauté them, they will come down to a much smaller size and a lot of the sharp flavor of the onion will sweeten up. So let's get that turned on and we'll be just letting that sauté and getting it ready to add our casserole.
Now, our topping is going to be kind of like a cheese sauce. I have two tablespoons of butter melted, ready to go. I turned it off so I can bring it over here and work on it. To these two tablespoons of melted butter which I'm indicating right here, these are the two tablespoons that I cut off of that stick of butter so I'm through with the butter. And by the way, I had one tablespoon of butter over here because I really wasn't trying to add butter, I was just needing something to do the sautéing in.
To this butter, I'm going to add flour. It can be self rising or all purpose. You need one quarter cup. So we just put that in there and you can stir it around. What you want to do is to get these two combined before you start adding other things to it. And I like to combine these off of the heat because you can see that it gets pretty stiff and if you're heating it at the same time and cooking it, sometimes it will lump. This will lump anyway but we're going to be adding some milk. And as the milk gets integrated into it, all lumps will eventually disappear, we won't be heating it.
I'm putting in two cups of milk and then I have my cheese ready. We're using Swiss cheese and this contains or has 1 ½ cups. So we're going to put our Swiss cheese, 1 ½ cups in here and this is going to be our cheese sauce. So I'm stirring this around. Remember, there are some lumps of flour and butter in the bottom. So when I take this back at the stove and turn it on, what I'll need to do is stir it continuously. I don't want those lumps to stay there. I want to smooth them out and I don't want any of the cheese to stick. So I'm going try this on to low and I'll be watching this continually. So I have three things to do while I go away and that is to get my pasta done and to get these onions sautéed and to get these into a nice creamy Swiss cheese sauce. So I'll be back in just a minute to finish up the casserole.
So my pasta is done and also my onions are sautéed. And notice the Swiss cheese sauce, nice and creamy, no lumps. They're already smooth. It's ready. So what I'm going to do is grab a pot over here and use my colander to drain this campanelle. Then as I said, I turned these off. We're going to add in the onions. Something I always do to my cheese sauces is salt them before I use them in a recipe. And you can get this all done in the beginning and cook it in or here. I didn't think about it actually so I'm adding it at the end so I just incorporate it into the sauce. I don't want to add it last thing although if that's my last resort, I would. So I'm going to bring that over, let me get that turned off. Everything is turned off and we add that to our casserole.
Now remember, I call this a Philly Beef Casserole because the last thing I'm adding is roast beef and it's a canned roast beef or you might have some left over that you want to use in a casserole like this. What I'm using is a can and the brand happens to be Cormel and it's called roast beef and then says, in gravy. And you'll see that actually these are chunks and I have gone through it a little bit and the chunks that are like this big, I tried to separate into something a little bit smaller. But I'm going to leave the gravy with it and pour these chunks of roast beef in and that will give the beefy flavor that will resemble the steak and then we have the Swiss cheese and the onions so it's going to taste kind of like a Philly Steak Sandwich, but it's our Philly Beef Casserole.
So you put that in there and you get all that good gravy out, stir this altogether. And I have an oven which is preheated to 350 degrees. See how luscious that looks already. It's kind of a strange combination to combine roast beef gravy with Swiss cheese sauce but it's going to be a lovely combination. I think you'll really enjoy it.
I'll pour this out into the casserole, a little bit of scraping here. You want to get all that goodness that you can and then you want to spread it out a little bit. So a 350 degree oven and it's probably going to take about half hour. I'm going to watch the time and I will let you know how long this bakes.
My Philly Beef Casserole is done. It's been exactly 30 minutes and it looks perfect so I'm going to bring it out. And if you can get a look at that to see how delicious that looks, the Swiss cheese sauce has combined with the gravy of the roast beef to make that lovely golden sauce and it tastes great. So let's come over here and take a look at it and serve it. You just dip in, I want you to see the texture. This is going to be a little runnier at the beginning when it's very hot. It will solidify a little bit as it close down. I'm just going to get a piece that has a nice amount of meat in it, lots of campanelle noodles, lots of sauce. So there's a good portion. And I'm going to serve this maybe with a salad and then maybe some French bread and then I have for dipping, the French bread. I have light olive oil with fresh ground black pepper. And a nice glass of ice tea and it's a great lunch or dinner.

Hey everybody, I know I don't have many posts under my belt here but I've been posting on HLH for years under the name "May Day"
http://www.hairlosshelp.com/forums/searchresults.cfm?FTVAR_AUTHORFRM=May%20Day&FTVAR_ DATESELFRM=Select&FTVAR_KEYWORD1FRM=&FTVAR_SEARCHW HATFRM=t&FTVAR_CATEGORYIDFRM=&FTVAR_STARTDATEFRM=& FTVAR_ENDDATEFRM
and more recently, Dr Evil
(just proving that I'm not a spam-bot or a shill)
(this is a copy of my original post at HLH, where it didn't get much of an audience)
- - - Updated - - -Hi, I've been using ADC for 2-3 years now and even recommended them to others but they seem to have really gone downhill lately.
They've stopped taking credit cards and I've recently started getting highly-personalised (name, address, etc) "time for your re-fill"-type spam.
So are there any good alternatives? I know InHouse is always trustworthy (as far as internet pharmacies go) but I stopped using them because my packages would always (*always*) get intercepted by customs and their prices can be a bit extortionate for certain drugs.
I ran out of dut over 2 months ago thanks to ADC. They kept saying their payment processor would be up and running in 2-3 weeks. I asked them only yesterday and they're still saying 2-3 weeks. Ridiculous. I'm really disappointed in them. When I complained to them, the "live help" guy I spoke to offered to take my card details over the phone and try to order that way. Erm, no thanks!
So, anywhere cheap and reliable?
In a nutshell, ADC have stopped taking credit cards and I don't trust them enough to just send them money and hope for the best.
InHouse is no good because my orders from them ALWAYS get intercepted by customs (plus, they're expensive), so can you guys recommend somewhere else?

1st Drum Set
1 Attachment(s)
Hey guys,
I posted a thread a month or 2 ago looking for advice on what drum set to get. I finally got a drum set. I got a Yamaha Stage Custom 100% Birch in Natural Wood color, also got Zildjian ZHT cymbals. I also got an Evans Genera HD batter and an Evans Hazy 300 on my snare. The picture shows the kit when I first put it together.
Re: 1st Drum Set
Nice kit, You are off to a good start.
Re: 1st Drum Set
Congratulations buddy! Looks great!
Re: 1st Drum Set
Nice. I have the exact same drums in the same color. Did you get the 20" or the 22" bass drum?
Re: 1st Drum Set
Congrats, great looking kit.
Re: 1st Drum Set
Beautiful kit. Now you are off and running.
Re: 1st Drum Set
Very nice. Hope you enjoy them
Re: 1st Drum Set
Thanks guys! I got the 20 bass drum.
Re: 1st Drum Set
Wow nice. Kits are just so nice these days - an beginner/intermediate kit like the Stage Customs at $600 or so in natural wood finish is just a phenomenal deal.

Before the 1994 genocide, Rwanda was known as 'the land of a thousand hills', evoking images of gorillas roaming through lush forests. Now that Rwanda is on the road to recovery, it is reclaiming its reputation and travelers are once again flocking to Rwanda to experience its great beauty and pay homage to its tragic past. Track the rare mountain gorilla and golden monkeys amid the lush rainforests of the Parc Nacional des Volcans or climb the volcanic Virunga chain for stunning, panoramic vistas. To recover from the rigors of gorilla tracking, head to the swanky, lakeside resort town of Gisenyi where you can spend your days swimming and sunbathing on the shores of Lake Kivu. Although Rwanda's horrific past will never be forgotten, the enduring spirit of the Rwandan people and the inspiring beauty of their land should be celebrated.
