Comments about Powder Bowl Pants (Men's):
Went though all kinds of insulation/shell combinations until I bought these. They fit perfectly over ski boots, are warm & tough without being restrictive, allow ventilation options, and look good too. Couldn't be happier with them, except they are a bit pricey as with most Patagonia stuff.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations... One School at a Timeby Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In 1993 Greg Mortenson was the exhausted survivor of a failed attempt to ascend K2, an American climbing bum wandering emaciated and lost through Pakistan's Karakoram Himalaya. After he was taken in and nursed back to health by the people of an impoverished Pakistani village, Mortenson promised to return one day and build them a school. From that rash, earnest promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time — Greg Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism by building schools, especially for girls, throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban.
Award-winning journalist David Oliver Relin has collaborated on this spellbinding account of Mortenson's incredible accomplishments in a region where Americans are often feared and hated. In pursuit of his goal, Mortenson has survived kidnapping, fatwas issued by enraged mullahs, repeated death threats, and wrenching separations from his wife and children. But his success speaks for itself. At last count, his Central Asia Institute had built fifty-five schools. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the world — one school at a time.
"Some failures lead to phenomenal successes, and this American nurse's unsuccessful attempt to climb K2, the world's second tallest mountain, is one of them. Dangerously ill when he finished his climb in 1993, Mortenson was sheltered for seven weeks by the small Pakistani village of Korphe; in return, he promised to build the impoverished town's first school, a project that grew into the Central Asia Institute, which has since constructed more than 50 schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. Coauthor Relin recounts Mortenson's efforts in fascinating detail, presenting compelling portraits of the village elders, con artists, philanthropists, mujahideen, Taliban officials, ambitious school girls and upright Muslims Mortenson met along the way. As the book moves into the post-9/11 world, Mortenson and Relin argue that the United States must fight Islamic extremism in the region through collaborative efforts to alleviate poverty and improve access to education, especially for girls. Captivating and suspenseful, with engrossing accounts of both hostilities and unlikely friendships, this book will win many readers' hearts." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"The harsh beauty of Afghanistan has always lured a certain hardy breed of Westerner, and the few who linger there inevitably become both addicted and disillusioned. Despite the overthrow of the repressive Taliban and the advent of democracy in 2001, the country continues to vex as much as it inspires — and the continuing deep U.S. involvement in its rebirth compels us to examine why. In... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) her aptly titled 'Kabul in Winter,' Ann Jones, a journalist and women's rights activist, presents an especially bleak portrait of post-Taliban Afghanistan, depicting a cruel and opportunistic place where foreign aid money vanishes into a thousand tunic pockets, where women are trapped in prisons of family and cultural tradition, and where concepts such as accountability and the rule of law are often viewed as naive, foreign abstractions. Much of what Jones writes rings true, especially about the thick barriers that thwart her attempts to promote the legal rights of Afghan women. And some of her descriptions approach poetry: 'Kabul in winter is the color of the dust ... a fine particulate lifted by winds from old stone mountains and sifted over the city like flour .... Dust fills the lungs, tightens the chest, lies in the eyes like gravel, so that you look out on this obscure drab landscape always through something like tears.' Unfortunately, Jones, who writes frequently on women and violence, tends to veer into sarcastic, semi-vulgar and unsubstantiated diatribes against the Bush administration and U.S. foreign policy, thus undermining the power of her argument. She repeatedly refers to the current president as 'Bush the Lesser' and glibly tars all U.S. officials as people who 'knew nothing about Afghanistan and cared less,' except as a potential venue for an oil pipeline. Despite these lapses, Jones' book gathers power as it goes on, and her anger serves her increasingly well as she compiles a painstaking litany of frustrations and failures in her mission to help Afghan women. She skewers the hypocrisy of a culture that forces women to 'keep themselves under wraps' as a protection from the 'uncontrollable God-given sexual appetites of men.' Imposing the burden of 'honor' on women, she points out, 'frees men to live as they please' but makes them fearful and cruel. A Muslim woman, she concludes, 'wears the whole weight of the Islamic world.' Jones visits girls in hospitals who have tried to burn themselves to death rather than face the shame of not having proven their virginity by bleeding on their wedding nights. She visits a prison where young women are confined for such sexually related 'crimes' as running away from abusive husbands. Many recount tangled tales of forced marriages, family rejection and sexual enslavement. The common theme is the powerlessness of human property. 'Murder a favored wife,' Jones notes grimly, 'and you owe her family ... four new copies of the Quran, four women, and one fat sheep.' Most depressing of all are her efforts to get the local legal establishment to defend women's rights. Even female lawyers at the brand-new Ministry of Women's Affairs treat her with indifference, suspicion and bafflement. 'In my country it is against the law for a husband to hit his wife,' Jones tells them. 'In Afghanistan not,' they reply, in halting English. 'In my country it is against the law to force a young girl to marry an old man she doesn't want to marry,' Jones says. The lawyers shake their heads. 'In Afghanistan not. In my country is custom,' one says. Toward the end, the book relapses briefly into a sputtering indictment of red tape and corruption in foreign aid programs. But Jones' bitterness is eminently understandable. Afghanistan is a fledgling democracy, backed by Western money and might, but it is still often a society of survivors without pity that blames the victim and steals what it can from those who try to help. We are left with the indelible image of a winter night in Kabul as Jones listens impotently to the howls of chained dogs freezing to death in backyards, their owners too poor and beaten down to heed them. Greg Mortenson is another American drawn to the same forbidding region, determined to make a humanizing mark. After a failed attempt to climb the deadly K2 peak in 1993, Mortenson was taken in by a poor Pakistani village — and taken with the idea of building that village a school. Despite its pinky-raising title, 'Three Cups of Tea' is a swashbuckling, sprawling adventure tale in which we accompany the former 'climbing bum' across mountain passes and wobbly bridges on a mission to open schools for village children in northern Pakistan. Like Jones, he encounters obstacles at every turn — from Muslim clerics who forbid girls to attend his school, to tribal militiamen who kidnap him, to wily local leaders who attempt to divert his largess for their own ends. Mortenson is surely right that education is key to the battle with jihadists for Muslim minds. But unlike Jones' sharply observed, frequently lyrical memoir, Mortenson's book is full of self-indulgent digressions, clunky prose and odd, hagiographic references to himself. In one passage, we learn that 'thousands of people likewise sang Mortenson's praises,' while one villager thanks 'Almighty Allah and Mister Greg Mortenson' for a new school. There's even a highlighted quote from a profile in Parade magazine that describes him as 'quietly waging his own campaign against Islamic fundamentalists.' The problem stems in part from the awkward construction of the book, which is written as an admiring, extended third-person interview by its co-author, journalist David Oliver Relin. He acknowledges being in awe of Mortenson, but his efforts to build him up often fall flat. And Relin's metaphors often seem like parodies: 'Mortenson sat on a boulder and drank from his water bottle ... but he couldn't drink in enough of this setting.' We also learn far too much about Mortenson's domestic life and fundraising travails back in the States — none of which is nearly as interesting as the characters and situations he encounters in the remote tribal regions of northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. Here, Relin's prose gains both altitude and insight. When a Muslim guide kneels to pray in a parking lot, 'the belief rippling around him was ... powerful enough to convert a gas station into a holy place.' Among some tribes, patience is a way of life: Just as a hunter from Pakistan's Balti people 'would stalk a single ibex for days' to save a precious bullet that he could not afford to squander, 'a Balti groom might wait years for his marriage' until his betrothed child bride was old enough to leave home. Mortenson's mission is admirable, his conviction unassailable, his territory exotic and his timing excellent. His story would have been better served, though, by a tougher editor and a book that was shorter, leaner and freer of fawning. Pamela Constable, a deputy foreign editor at The Washington Post, was the paper's South Asia bureau chief from 1999 to 2002 and its Kabul correspondent from 2002 to 2004."

Anyone who despairs of the individual's power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan's treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson's quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.

The Influence of Ritonavir, Alone and in Combination With Lopinavir, on Fenofibric Acid Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Volunteers

- How to Read a Study Record
- Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are often treated with protease inhibitors that help fight HIV infection. However, these medications often increase blood cholesterol levels, particularly triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins, and can lead to heart disease and other problems. Patients may take drugs known as fibrates (such as gemfibrozil (Lopid )) to lower triglyceride levels, but even with maximum approved doses patients often cannot reach goal triglyceride levels. Research suggests that fibrates and certain HIV medications, such as ritonavir and lopinavir/ritonavir, may interact and decrease the effectiveness of the fibrate treatment. More research is needed to determine the best drug to lower triglyceride levels in HIV patients who are receiving protease inhibitor therapy.
- To evaluate the drug-drug interaction between fenofibrate and protease inhibitors lopinavir/ritonavir and ritonavir.
- Healthy individuals between 18 and 60 years of age.
- This study will require a screening visit and 18 study visits. The screening visit will take 3 to 4 hours, and can occur 7 to 30 days before starting the study. The rest of the study, not including the screening visit, is 48 days. Three of the visits will take about 12 hours, and the remaining 15 visits will take about 1 hour.
- For study days 1 to 7, participants will take fenofibrate alone. Participants will keep a daily record of medication doses and any side effects.
- For study days 8 to 27, participants will take fenofibrate and ritonavir. Participants will keep a daily record of medication doses and any side effects.
- For study days 29 to 48, participants will take fenofibrate and lopinavir/ritonavir. Participants will keep a daily record of medication doses and any side effects.
- Participants will have regular study visits to provide blood samples for research and monitoring.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has enhanced the life expectancy of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients, making HIV a manageable chronic disease for many patients. Patients with HIV are prone to lipid abnormalities secondary to HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy, particularly HIV protease inhibitors (PI). PI containing regimens that contain boosting doses of ritonavir (RTV) (i.e., 100 200 mg once or twice daily) often cause significant increases in total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. Therapy for isolated hypertriglyceridemia includes fibric acid derivatives, such as gemfibrozil (GFZ) or fenofibrate; however, despite treatment with these agents, triglyceride levels often remain elevated in HIV infected patients treated with HAART. Many factors likely contribute to the incomplete effectiveness of fibrates in these patients. One possible contributing factor may be a clinically significant interaction between HAART and fibrates. We recently reported a mean 41 percent decrease in GFZ area under the curve when administered with the PI combination lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r). To determine whether a similar interaction exists with fenofibrate, this study will characterize the impact of RTV and LPV/r on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of fenofibrate (Tricor formulation), after a single 145 mg oral dose, administered to healthy volunteers. In a single sequence study design, 13 subjects will receive a single 145 mg dose of fenofibrate on three occasions: before and after 14 days of RTV 100 mg twice daily, and after 14 days of LPV/r 400/100 mg twice daily. With the exclusion of the screening period, the total duration of the study will be 48 days. Fenofibric acid (FFA) PK will be determined for all 3 sampling periods and compared. Results from this study will inform us about a potentially clinically relevant drug drug interaction between fenofibrate and RTV boosted PI combinations. This information may therefore assist clinicians in choosing triglyceride lowering therapy for their HIV infected patients.

The eel can generate 600 volts, which is enough to make the tree lights flash.
The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy is shocking visitors with its Christmas tree display in the 'Journey To South America' gallery.
Tree lights are blinking by using the energy generated by an electric eel in a nearby tank. "We took the voltage produced by the eel via stainless steel electrodes and used it to power a sequencer," said Terry Smith, Project Manager at Cache Valley Electric.
"The sequencer takes the voltage the eel produces and operates circuitry that flashes the lights, fast or slow, based on the level of voltage he puts out, " said Smith. Each time the eel moves, the lights on the five-foot-tall tree flash intermittently using four strands of holiday lights.
Electric eels live in the murky streams and ponds of the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America. These famous freshwater predators get their name from the enormous electrical charge they can generate to stun prey and dissuade predators.
Their bodies contain electric organs with about 6,000 specialized cells called electrocytes that store power like tiny batteries. When threatened or attacking prey, these cells will discharge simultaneously, emitting a burst of at least 600 volts, about which equals five times the voltage of a standard U.S. wall socket.
"Visitors can visually and audibly experience the power of our electric eel and get a real sense of how amazing this creature is," said Angie Hyde, Director of Public Relations & Marketing. "We thought we'd put a festive twist on it for the holidays which has been a huge hit with our members and visitors."
The Electric eel display is made possible by Bill Carnell, Terry Smith, Jim Laub and Jody Jenkins of Cache Valley Electric, and will be available to visitors through December 31.

I am currently an BEng Aerospace Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University (a metropolitan university) and my work is going very well. I am currently faced with a choice.
I can either continue to do my MEng year at my current university, or move to Manchester to complete my masters at The University of Manchester (a red brick).
The problem is, due to the increase in tuition fees, attending Manchester will cost me an extra £6,000, however on my CV it shall say that I graduated from a red brick university.
I guess my question is, to all those professional engineers out there, is it worth it? Does your graduation university truely make a difference?
12 December 2012 03:07 PM
If you want to work for NASA yes it does and if you want to work for the local chip shop then it does not. Basically for the very top companies it will matter but as you move down to the vast majority of companies it will matter less or else not matter at all; they will be more interested in grades and other apects about your experience, background, character, etc., as it will be the person who works for them and not the degree.
12 December 2012 11:32 PM
Thanks for your reply,
I feel I should go for the University of Manchester's degree, however, would it also make a difference if the degree at Manchester is an MSc (not accredited) and the Sheffield Hallam degree is an MEng? I've heard engineers saying that becoming chartered made almost no difference to their career, is that true?
13 December 2012 09:13 AM
You can get Chartered whether or not your degree is accredited - you just have to give a bit more evidence (and it may take a bit longer) if not. So don't worry about that.
Whether it is important or not depends on the industry you are going into. For aerospace it may be, but the way to find out is to look at the job adverts and see if it is in the list of requirements. But in practice if it is important your company will help you get it anyway.
Far more important is whether your further degree gives you knowledge and experience which will be genuinly useful to employers. Does it include any work experience? Is it purely research, or is it covering "hands on" skills? Is it going to make your knowledge narrow and detailed or broader? Is the work team based or individual? None of these are "right" or "wrong", but they will define the range of jobs you will be considered for.
Remember that academia is obsessed with academia, and the tiny distinctions between different degrees and universities. Out here in industry we neither know or care: we just want to see interview candidates who are passionate about the subject, know how to use their knowledge to solve real problems, can work well in a team, and will turn up at 9:00 and put in a hard days work. You're most likely to end up as that person if you've done a course which you enjoy with enthusiastic people around you: those are the things to look for.
And again, look at job adverts in the field you're interested in and see what degrees are being asked for. That's the best guide.
(P.S. I have never employed anyone with a Masters degree. All my design engineers - who are a world class electronics research team working in a safety-critical field - have Bachelors or (in one specialist case) PhD. I have interviewed candidates with Masters, but so far the Bachelors students have always come over better. There's nothing wrong with Masters degrees, I got one myself this year, but you need to be sure that it's what your chosen industry and career needs.)
Good luck!

In my experience where you graduate does play some significance but only in the fact that there is a more likelihood for certain jobs/industries to get to the interviewing stages of recruitment. This is not an automatic barrier and a well written application will still get you in the door which is your chance to sell yourself so to speak. If you've got to the interview, there will be no question of qualification but whether you have the technical acumen, attitude and understanding of the business in making an investment in your development.
I graduated from a former poly a few years ago myself and had these anxieties as well but persisted and kept a positive attitude and was able to get on a grad scheme; there were 21 selected out of a candidacy pool of about 1000.
I should also say that I was rejected from an oil & gas engineering consultancy group based on the fact that I didn't graduate from a top ten university. It did hurt a little since the minimum was a 2:2 and I had a 1st but there are always exeptions.
The red brick status does help alittle at first glance but never doubt your own potential. Good luck, I know its getting tougher and tougher out there for graduates.

After reading both of these replies I definitely feel more informed on this matter and I thank you. To conclude, I think that having a Masters from Manchester would be much more useful as it will help me get onto the bottom rung of the aerospace ladder. Although the Sheffield Hallam degree is accredited, I would much rather worry about chartership once I am sat behind a desk with a stable salary!
Many thanks MWilson & Andy Millar, your insight was most useful.

Although the Sheffield Hallam degree is accredited, I would much rather worry about chartership once I am sat behind a desk with a stable salary!
That is your key consideration today and a very good one to keep in mind and also remember that whatever the cost of your education today the value of it will be measured over a lifetime. So if you need to invest a bit more today in order to have more options in the future then do it.
02 January 2013 01:33 PM
It makes a difference, if the school is really good - like yours. Having many years of recruitment experience, I can tell that education from mediocre university is nearly invisible, but having a really good school in your CV is a huge plus.

If you want to work for NASA yes it does and if you want to work for the local chip shop then it does not.
I remember as a school lad in hertfordshire, a local paper report about an HND graduate in Acoustics from Hatfield Polytechnique was offered a job at NASA. Perhaps Acoustics was a new subject then and Hatfield were at the forefront?
Chip shop engineer
I've heard engineers saying that becoming chartered made almost no difference to their career, is that true?
That doesn't surprise me. Chartered engineers don't work as chartered engineers, but as engineers, team leaders, managers, company directors etc. There is no such job role as chartered engineer in the UK.
There was a salary survey done by the I.o.Physics several years ago. In it 3 candidates were the highest earning, over £200K. Two of them were Associate members. The I.o.P suggested they must be proud of retaining their AM grade. As for CEng members, well they were earning around £40k - £60k.

How do you not become the target of crime?
Affordable Self-Defense with Wholesale Stun Guns
Do not be the easiest prey for a predator. Carry a self-defense weapon to help yourself. You can always buy cheap just to try it. One idea is to find a reseller of wholesale stun guns that are drop-shipped. The drop ship wholesaler undertakes storage and delivery for its resellers. Thus, the reseller has no such burden to pass onto you through a high retail cost.
Most crimes are calculated risks. Criminals tend to pick the most convenient targets, so don't be one. If your home has a security alarm system, a burglar will simply move on to the next house. A thief will not snatch a bag that looks too heavy or secured to its owner to run away with.
Besides, it is quicker and easier to procure a weapon than to learn a skill. Start bringing a stun gun along to self-defense class.
Stun guns can paralyze, inflict pain and disorient using a non-lethal electric shock. You have a real shot at escaping and calling 9-1-1 while your attacker is immobilized for 20 to 45 minutes.
Disguised stun guns like cell phone stun guns can catch attackers off guard since they look like everyday objects. Small stun guns like lipstick stun guns are inconspicuous, and can be hidden in the hand. A mini stun gun with a powerful voltage is not hard to find.
High voltage stun guns with low amperage work fast, but without killing. Flashlight stun guns are the most useful at night. Longer than conventional stun guns, stun batons can defend you from some distance.
A drop ship wholesaler will ship a paid order straight from its inventory to its reseller's customer. The order makes one trip, and does not go through redundant quality checks.
You could buy stun gun products by your trusted stun gun manufacturers to resell. You then augment your income, and help others defend themselves. Otherwise, enjoy low rates for drop-shipped wholesale stun guns as an end user.

Your Daily Elton Brand All Points Bulletin
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 07/07/08, 11:15pm:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com on Monday night that the Philadelphia 76ers are again "actively involved" in the Brand hunt after initially fearing that they couldn't compete financially with the Clippers and Golden State Warriors.
Although the leaguewide consensus remains that Brand will return to Hollywood to form a new partnership with Clipper-to-be Baron Davis, sources reveal that the Sixers are growing increasingly confident in their ability to create additional salary-cap space by finding a new home via trade for swingman Rodney Carney and then make a sufficiently rich offer to Brand...
...separate sources suggested Monday that Brand -- if he's ultimately drawn away from his Face of the Franchise status with the Clippers -- would be more inclined to jump to Philadelphia than Golden State, given the Sixers' residence in a conference with far fewer contenders than the West and the opportunity to join a young Philly nucleus (Andre Miller, Andre Iguodala and considerable wingspan of center Samuel Dalembert) that won many admirers as last season progressed.
Not sure if this property ever moved.

WONDER WOMEN! Community Cinema Vashon Screening
WONDER WOMEN! The Untold Story of American Superheroines explores our nation's long-term love affair with comic book superheroes and raises questions about the possibilities and contradictions of heroines within the genre. Reflecting our culture's deep-seated ambivalence toward powerful women — even in this so-called post-feminist era — women may be portrayed as good, or brave, or even featured as "action babes," but rarely are they seen as heroes at the center of their own journey. The film features candid interviews with Gloria Steinem, Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, moms, teachers and girls. Click here to learn more about this film and the filmmakers. Click here for the film's official website.
Program running time: 2 hours. This screening is presented by KCTS 9 and ITVS' Community Cinema. The film premieres on KCTS 9 on Monday, 4/15, at 10 pm.
Watch Coming Soon to Independent Lens: Wonder Women! on PBS. See more from Independent Lens.

Whenever you're seeking marvelous muses galore and fresh outfit ideas, there's one locale that never fails to deliver: the street! It's a personal-style paradise that always offers up intriguing clothing combos and encourages experimentation. What are we seeing a ton of and loving this spring? Neutrals, mixed prints, light or bright accents, and Talbots. That's right...Talbots. Their stores are brimming with so many spot-on pieces, we decided to share six superb spring looks that caught our eye on the street. And by the way, these easy-to-execute ensembles are just the tip of the style iceberg. If you like what you see here, and we think you will, check out Red Chair Confessions, the hot new blog from a revamped Talbots. It's a place to fess up, dress up, covet and share, discover, rethink, inspire and be inspired, expose, desire, brag a little and confess a lot. Plus, the site is simply stuffed with fashion tips, so make sure you visit it today!
Parisian stripes plus stylish leather shorts equals a darling outfit.
One essential wardrobe item that everyone should possess is a simple, striped t-shirt. It's the perfect year-round pick, as it promises to add a little insouciant spirit to any outfit. It looks particularly chic for spring and summer worn with a darling pair of leather shorts and a slim scarf in an interesting print. (It's all about mixing and matching patterns this season, you know!) If you need this singularly stylish piece, check out Talbots' Boat Stripe Tee ($34.50); it is an excellent option at a very reasonable price. Plus, in addition to the black-and-white version shown here, it's also available in Viridian Green (deep leaf green), Adriatic (light blue), and Titan Blue (ocean blue)! Wear it with a contrasting scarf, like the Paisley Sash ($34) in Almond Buff, and a feminine pair of metallic sandals, like the Ankle-Strap Wedges ($109) in Metallic Pewter, for an on-trend and adorable look!
Chic, neutral separates give trendy tie-dye a sophisticated air.
Though there were many key trends on the spring runways, it seemed like every designer fell head-over-heels in love with a neutral palette. It was the fashion message of the season: everyone must wear nude, beige, and bisque! In addition to being the of-the-moment hues, these soft tones balance out a bold print beautifully, as you can see from the look above! To emulate this ensemble, all you have to do is pick up Talbots' Belted Anorak ($149, featured color is available in-stores only) in ClayÂ--a versatile piece you're sure to wear all season longÂ--plus the slightly oversized Python-Embossed Leather Shoulder Bag ($249), and a Patent Belt ($34) in Metallic Gold. These chic neutrals look amazing individually, but they're really divine when worn all at once!
Interesting and bright accessories personalize a classic pencil skirt.
A plain pencil skirt is always a wardrobe staple for sophisticated tastemakers, but it's also a piece that's ripe for reinterpretation. Simply upgrading to a fabulous tailored version in a textured fabricÂ--like Talbots' Textured Tweed Pencil Skirt ($99) in BrownÂ--will make an outfit so much more interesting and truly take it to the next level. Of course you can amplify this spot-on item even more by styling it with a bright bag and an edgy socks-with-sandals combo. A colorful tote, like the Beacon Hill Satchel ($250) in Yellow, offers a sunny counterpoint to the skirt's professional crispness, while the Vine-Floral Trouser Socks ($9) in Neutral Multi add some playful nuance to a stellar pair of platform sandals!
Bold black accessories give a ladylike dress some modern edge.
One of the best parts about the rising temperatures is that it means it's finally time to start shopping for a spring must-buy: the feminine floral dress. The right iteration can be one of the most versatile weapons in your fashion arsenal, as it brings a little seasonal spirit to your favorite bold, black accessories. Happily you don't have to invest a fortune in your floral frock, simply check out the noteworthy versions at Talbots, including the divine Wisteria-Print Dress ($149) in Picasso/Bluestone. The pretty print is totally in sync with the runway trends, while the dress' simple cap sleeves and full skirt make it a go-to choice for the warmer months. Accentuate it with an equally gorgeous Bib Necklace ($79) in Amazonite and you're sure to get envious looks wherever you go!
Light-colored accents look fresh with an all-denim ensemble.
Every season it's important to find a few fabulous accents to enliven all of your hardworking foundation pieces. Right now, the items you should look for are smart accessories in pale tones, with a focus on outerwear and handbagsÂ--the most noteworthy components of any outfit. Talbots' Colored Denim Jacket ($89) in Murano Glass is one can't-miss option that looks particularly current, especially when paired with a denim button-down shirt and slim jeans. If you're in search of an equally fresh handbag, you'll love the softly structured shape and creamy color of the Beacon Hill Exotic Leather Shoulder Bag ($300) in Eggshell. Of course, for extra style points, don't forget to tie a silky scarf to the bag's chain strap: the results will be so seasonal and chic!
A floral cardi, fun skirt, and sparkly bag make a party-perfect look.
Versatile pieces that can easily transition your outfit from day-to-night are invariably the most important items in your wardrobe, which is why this cardi-party ensemble works. The floral sweater is a superb option for the office, but it also looks cute with fancier fare; try it knotted at the waist and worn with a full tulle skirt, sparkly bag, and several chunky pearl chokers. To recreate this outfit, check out Talbots' Antique-Floral Cardigan ($89) in Viridian Multi: the three-quarter sleeves are perfect for spring. Combined with your favorite full miniÂ--plus Talbots' Short Graduated Faux-Pearl Necklace ($39) in Ivory and the Classic Faux-Pearl Necklace ($39)Â--you'll have a festive and fabulous party look!

Upcoming games: @ Devils, March 6, 7:00 p.m.; @ Senators, March 8, 7:30 p.m.; @ Blackhawks, March 9, 8:30 p.m.; Islanders, March 11, 7:00 p.m.
New Jersey Devils (77 points, 6th place, 36-24-5)
Martin Brodeur and Henrik Lundqvist will be anxious to keep their creases empty as they each have a shutout in the season series that has the Rangers 2-2 against the Devils. The Rangers won 2-0 on February 27 led by Lundqvist and goals from Carl Hagelin and an empty netter by Ryan Callahan. The Devils have hit a rocky patch going 5-4-1 in their last ten games. After a dominating 5-0 win over the Capitals on Friday in which captain Zach Parise scored a hat trick, they couldn't find the net on Sunday. They were shutout 1-0 by the Islanders. The Devils suffered a scare when Parise was hit by a Milan Jurcina shot. Results from the X-Rays came back negative and the forward is expected to remain in the lineup. Travis Zajac and Henrik Tallinder remain on injured reserve.
Ottawa Senators (76 points, 7th place, 34-25-8)
The Senators are 2-1 against the Rangers this season. Back on January 12, they shutout the Rangers 3-0 led by Jason Spezza's two goal performance. Craig Anderson made 34 saves in his first shutout of the season to snap the Rangers five game win streak. Anderson has been put on injured reserve with a lacerated right hand with no timetable for a return. Rookie Robin Lehner has stepped into the crease allowing six goals resulting in two losses despite stopping an onslaught of shots. They lost 4-2 to the Florida Panthers on Sunday. The Sens are 6-3-1 over their last ten games. Milan Michalek leads the team with 29 goals while Speeza leads with 72 points. Defenseman Erik Karlsson continues to impress putting up a career high 66 points so far this season and a +13. This is the last meeting of the season between the two teams.
Chicago Blackhawks (79 points, 6th place, 36-24-7)
The Blackhawks beat the Rangers 4-2 back on February 16 after the Blueshirts came out sluggish and allowed four goals in the first period. Chicago is 7-3 over their last ten games and in the midst of a three game winning streak. They have had a season of interesting streaks bouncing from losing nine straight to winning four straight and so on. They beat the Red Wings 2-1 at Joe Louis Arena on Sunday. Patrick Kane scored the eventual game winner late in the second period while Ray Emery made 23 saves, continuing his recent surge of solid play in net. Winger Patrick Sharp has four points in his last two games. The Hawks have been without their captain Jonathan Toews for the last few games due to an upper body injury, most likely a concussion.
New York Islanders (65 points, 13th place, 28-29-9)
The Rangers have dominated the season series going 3-1. The Isles came out on top 4-3 winning in a shootout in a wild game back on February 24. Both P.A. Parenteau and Matt Moulson netted a pair of goals in the win while Evgeni Nabokov made 33 saves and three saves in the shootout. The Islanders ended a three game losing streak by winning two straight games this weekend. After edging past the powerhouse Boston Bruins 3-2 on Saturday, they shut out the Devils 1-0 on Sunday. Kyle Okposo scored the winning goal. Anders Nilsson made 24 saves en route to his first career NHL win and made history as the first Islanders goalie to record a shutout for his first win. After a hot February posting a 6-0-1 record with their AHL affiliate in Bridgeport and being selected goalie of the month, the Isles recalled the goaltender. The Islanders are five points behind the Winnipeg Jets for eighth place, the final playoff spot.

By Fred D RichardsonHelper
I would like to give my take on how the vote went in the recent election. This election destroyed conservatism, in the United States of America. I'm sure that makes the liberals smile. There will only be one way of governing and that is the liberal way. Things always work better when you have two points of view, like union and non union, like business and union. So, to you 2,000 plus voters in Carbon County, who went with the national trend, here is my understanding of what you voted for and against: 1- You voted against the life blood and economy of Carbon and Emery Counties. You voted fora man, who vowed to shut down the coal mining industry and against a man who vowed to support it. Mining jobs, truck driving jobs, support businesses for the mining industry jobs, retail merchant jobs, food service jobs, construction company jobs, power plant jobs and the list goes on and on; are what you voted against. What about the UMWA and their take on this? What did they do? 2-You voted fora man, who says he is for the middle class and yet, middle class family incomes have dropped nearly $ 5,000 per year under him. 3- You voted for a man who declared war on the largest Christian religion (Catholic) in this country, and did away with the national day of prayer, while celebrating another religion's holiday on the White House grounds. You voted against a man who said he would protect religious freedom. 4- You voted fora man who, after 4 years, is still blaming his predecessor and everything else and said, "I didn't realize how bad the economy was". You voted against one who would accept responsibility for the presidency on day one, who knows what kind of a mess we are in. 5- You voted fora man who believes that it is alright to drive an object into the brain of a living human being, whose head is all that is exposed during it's birth (partial birth abortion), and against a man who says that a baby is a living human being, and has rights of it's own. 6- You voted for a man who says that America is not an exceptional nation and against one who says that it is. 7- You voted for a man who said, " Voting is the best revenge" (revenge against whom or what?) and against a man who said, "Vote for love of country". 8- You voted fora man, under whose watch, gas prices have more than doubled, who stopped a pipe line, against union protests, in favor of environmental interests ( every dollar spent for oil, in the Middle East, is money used to kill our soldiers) and against a man who wanted to have America energy independent. 9- You voted fora man who buys votes by giving things to people and against one who wants people to have jobs to maintain themselves. 10- You voted fora man and his party, who claim to champion social security and medicare, knowing full well that they are unsustainable in their present form(had 2 years of complete control, to fix it), and failing to do anything about it, but talk. You voted against a man who was willing to fix it, for future generations, and not affect anyone who is on it or will be on it, in the next 10 years. 11- You voted fora first lady who said, on video, "All this fuss over a flag(our flag)", and a president nodding his head in agreement. 12- You voted fora man who said he would cut the debt in half and instead doubled it. 13- You voted for a man whose administration gave millions of your tax dollars, to an Oregon university, to save his brother-in-law's job as basketball coach. 14- You voted fora man who told President Medvedev, of Russia; to tell Vladomir Putin, that after he was re-elected "He would have more leeway"( leeway to do what?). 15- You voted fora man, whose administration refused beefed up security, for one of our consulates, with 911 coming up and 4 Americans were killed on American soil. My wife and I discussed the possibility of this happening, somewhere on that day. Two ex Navy Seals kept that fight going for over 6 hours and died waiting for help, with the White House watching it live. These four are heroes and were deserted by the those who should have been looking out for them. 16- You voted for a man with a failed record and against a man with a proven record as a business man. The debates proved that. It was live and the president didn't have the liberal press to protect him. 17- You voted fora man, who was offered 5 million dollars to his favorite charity, if he would release his university transcripts and refused and you voted against a man who released the tax returns, required by law, and was criticized for not releasing more. I could go on and on, but it will serve no purpose. Americans have bought into everything this president has said. You missed your chance Americans. With Obama, it will be "Business as usual" in Washington. I am a proud American and I vote on principles, facts and people. I'm not afraid to stand up and be counted. I wrote this on Thursday, after the election. Since then I hear that miners are laid off in Carbon County and that the VERY NEXT MORNING after the election, Ken Salazar was in Salt Lake doing away with already approved energy leases and headed other places to do more. Liberals have driven the final nail into America's coffin, if the old, long standing America is what we want. If a new America, that looks like the rest of the world, is what you want; you got it. Now, we all live with your choices. I would really appreciate one of you local Obama supporters to help me understand the logic you used to make up your mind. I used facts in my explanation; please do the same, if any choose to respond. Good luck America, may God support you; because your government and a majority of your citizens don't. Thanks to the Sun Advocate for making this available to all of us.

Board will get a look at Joppa Hill farm's roof after tiles removed
BEDFORD - The Educational Farm at Joppa Hill has reached an agreement with the town that will allow its board to inspect the barn's ceiling once the town has the roof's tiles removed, in order to see if it can afford to make the repairs, said Jo Hendry, secretary of the farm's board.
Hendry said some of the dispute with the town over signing a long-term lease was a result of uncertainty about the level of repair work that needs to be done.
"We couldn't do something until we could see what we had," she said.
According to Hendry, the board was hesitant to sign any agreement that they felt had unrealistic time restraints, including an agreement made in January after a meeting between the two parties that the farm's board ultimately refused to sign.
That agreement required repairs to be made to the barn within about six months, and contained other requirements the farm's attorney said were nearly impossible to meet.
"We wanted very much to move forward," Hendry said of that meeting, "but there were some things we weren't sure we were physically able to promise, and we needed to have everybody there to discuss it."
Hendry said there is much to celebrate at the farm, despite the barn being closed to the public since this summer.
"Even though we had to put up a tent, we ran the best summer camp we've ever had," Hendry said.
The mission of the 35-acre farm is "to increase public awareness of open space, sustainable agriculture and the environment by operating a working farm, providing interactive educational programs and promoting firsthand experience through community involvement," and Hendry said many of the farm's activities directly support that mission.
The farm has hosted 660 campers and over the years, employed 32 camp counselors and counselors-in-training, and more than 700 students visited the farm for field trips, Hendry said.
Many groups and organizations volunteer at the farm, including scouts, students, local businesses and the board itself, Hendry said.
The farm is also a community meeting space for groups, including the Animal Rescue League and the Bedford Land Trust.
"There are a lot of great things happening at the farm that aren't in the public light," Hendry said.
Fundraising continues to be a focus, and though the summer camp is a main source of revenue for the farm, "There is nonstop fundraising," Hendry said.
Hendry said the goal of the board is to work with the town going forward to continue with the farm's mission.
"We care as much as the town officials do about what happens there," she said. "We work so hard - we want to do what it takes to keep it going."
If the farm chooses to move forward with the repairs, Town Manager Jessie Levine said the town will begin negotiations of a long-term lease that would go into effect only if the barn repairs are made.
"I am glad that EFJH is publicizing its activity over the last few years and reporting back to the community how it is using town property for public benefit," she said. "In any future lease, the town will include clear, enforceable expectations for performance and benefits to the community, not only relating to use of the property for maximum public benefit, but maintenance of the property for maximum agricultural protection and preservation."

Police in Midway, Georgia shut down a lemonade stand run by three girls trying to make money for a trip to a water park in Savannah because the youngsters didn't have the license and permits required for their fledgling enterprise. City ordinances require a business license, a peddler's permit, and a food permit for the vending of food or beverages, even on residential property in the small city (pop. approximately 1,100) just south of Savannah. The license and permits cost $50 a day or $180 a year, according to Coastal Source, a website of Savannah TV stations WJCL and WTGS.
So the girls shut down their stand and are doing yard work and other chores to make money.

7 U.S. Code § 6301 - Findings and declaration of policy
prev | next
(a) Findings
Congress finds that—
(1) soybeans are an important source of nutritious foods that are a valuable part of the human diet and are an important feedstuff for the livestock industry;

(3) soybeans and soybean products should be readily available and marketed efficiently to ensure that consumers have an adequate supply of soybean products at a reasonable price;
(4) the maintenance and expansion of existing markets and development of new markets for soybeans and soybean products are vital to the welfare of soybean producers and processors and those concerned with marketing soybeans and soybean products, as well as to the general economy of the United States, and are necessary to ensure the ready availability and efficient marketing of soybeans and soybean products;
(5) there exist established State and national organizations conducting soybean promotion, research, and consumer education programs that are valuable to the efforts of promoting the consumption of soybeans and soybean products;
(6) the cooperative development, financing, and implementation of a coordinated national program of soybean promotion, research, consumer information, and industry information are necessary to maintain and expand existing markets and develop new markets for soybeans and soybean products; and
(b) Policy
Congress declares that it is in the public interest to authorize the establishment, through the exercise of the powers provided in this chapter, of an orderly procedure for developing, financing through assessments on domestically-produced soybeans, and implementing a program of promotion, research, consumer information, and industry information designed to strengthen the soybean industry's position in the marketplace, to maintain and expand existing domestic and foreign markets and uses for soybeans and soybean products, and to develop new markets and uses for soybeans and soybean products.

Bell's Brewery to present Kalamazoo Pride 2013, debut new beer
KALAMAZOO—Event goers celebrating diversity at the 6th annual Kalamazoo Pride event will be able to raise a glass of Bell's beer while dancing and singing to an entertainment lineup headlined by Chicago-based Kimi Hayes, back by popular demand.
This year's event, presented by Bell's Brewery, Inc., will span two days, beginning with a White Party at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 14, where everyone is encouraged to dress in all white. The main event is Saturday, June 15, starting at 2 p.m., with more than 75 vendors, food trucks, and plenty of cold beverage options to keep the fun going all afternoon. Visitors can browse through 'vendor alley' and listen to live music including a DJ, Hannaniah and the Boys and Kimi Hayes.
Bell's will also debut a new beer at this year's Pride – Sparkleberry – a blend of Sparkling Ale and Raspberry Ale.
"Diversity is a vital component of our philosophy and this event reflects that as well as our continued support of organizations that work to strengthen our community and bring people together," said Laura Bell, Marketing Director and co-owner of Bell's Brewery.
With a continuously-expanding event like this, Kalamazoo Pride is pleased to have achieved the excellence and professionalism that businesses like Bell's aim to be associated with, said Zachary Bauer, Executive Director of the Kalamazoo Gay Lesbian Resource Center, the organization that coordinates Kalamazoo Pride.
"We are tremendously pleased to welcome such a wonderful local company as presenting sponsor. It is clear to us that Bell's investment in our LGBT community is sending a message that things must change and that diversity is no longer an option but a must!" added Bauer.
Last year, 11,000 people descended on the Arcadia Creek Festival Site in downtown Kalamazoo for Pride, the largest fundraiser of the year for the KGLRC.
"This year, Kalamazoo Pride 2013 has expanded to an entire weekend of celebrating diversity, complete with Friday and Saturday events, including some that are still in the planning stages, as well as a post-Pride bunch," shares Bauer. "We plan to deliver a weekend full of community events, highlighting the diversity, accomplishments, contributions to society and entertainment by and for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals as well as their friends, families and allies.
The popular 'vendor alley' will feature affirming and inclusive organizations and businesses as well as tempting food and beverage vendors from all over Southwest Michigan. Additionally, family friendly-activities will take place in and near the youth tent area, including a speaker from TruthLocker who will discuss issues and solutions related to cyber bullying.
Kalamazoo Pride is offering a two-day admission pass for $10, or separate cover charges are $5 for Friday and $7 to enter on Saturday. Kids 12 and under are free.
"All Kalamazoo Pride events seek to show that we're proud of who we are and that we can all stand together as part of the greater Southwest Michigan community, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, gender orientation or socioeconomic status," says Bauer.
Full details and entertainment schedules for Kalamazoo Pride can be found at www.kglrc.org/pride.

By Brenda RawsonPrice
I was confused to Tom McCourt's purpose in his Aug 10 conversation with Uncle Spud in The Wasatch Behind: "Tit for Tat War Memorials" (Sun Advocate).
Was he advocating intolerance and incivility in our national laws that we deny the construction of the Islamic cultural center in New York close to Ground Zero, or was he criticizing their laws as intolerant, prejudiced and bigoted? Or was he subtly affirming his gratitude for the laws of our land that insure liberty for him and well as others? It was hard to tell at first.
Thank goodness our government cannot disallow this center to be built two blocks away from Ground Zero. After all, it is private property, and they have the indisputable right to build there. Yes, this idea is deeply insensitive to Americans, yet it is lawful. And aren't we're still a lawful land?
Uncle Spud may question the wisdom of this plan, but he can't deny the right thereof. Thank goodness our government cannot randomly reject any lawful construction. If our government forbids this facility to be built today, then tomorrow it could forbid a Jewish synagogue or a Catholic cathedral or a LDS temple to be built. What a slippery slope that could become! We have laws to follow, thank goodness.
This controversy has nothing to do with us being "good people" or "kissing up." It is simply the law. If Uncle Spud boils at the thought of a Muslim facility being constructed two blocks away from Ground Zero, then he needs to get the First Amendment changed by using our political processes. That's the way to resolve this heated issue, not by becoming vengeful and spiteful, wanting "tit for tat." Uncle Spud's plan only results in intensifying the hate and distrust already brewing among Americans.
Too, we have not been conquered as Uncle Spud states. Westill go about our daily lives, working and living in our communities all over America, enjoying our many liberties. And political correctness hasn't trumped common sense either; it is liberty in real time that is at work. If we expect our liberties to be realized, then we must allow others their liberties even if it's distasteful to us. We can't have our cake and eat it, too.
In addition, allowing the construction of this center does not make us a pathetic, gutless people. Rather, it makes us a strong, unified law-abiding nation, genuinely respecting the laws of our land and the liberties of others who live along side us, though different from us religiously and culturally. Regardless of the mean-spirited venom we hear and read in the media, there is room for everyone; we can live peacefully side by side in spite of our differences.
I know Uncle Spud enjoys his abundant American liberties and prefers them to the few in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and in his heated state last week, he simply became confused.

This week, President Bush announced a new set of national goals related to climate change and called for a stop to growth in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. Speaking Wednesday in the Rose Garden, he said that "there is a wrong way and a right way to approach reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
"The wrong way is to raise taxes, duplicate mandates, or demand sudden and drastic emissions cuts that have no chance of being realized and every chance of hurting our economy. The right way is to set realistic goals for reducing emissions consistent with advances in technology, while increasing our energy security and ensuring our economy can continue to prosper and grow," said Bush. The President's goals call for a focus on electric power generating plants. "We'll need to more rapidly slow the growth of power sector greenhouse gas emissions so they peak within 10 to 15 years, and decline thereafter," he said.
Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change called the proposal "a step backwards for U.S. climate policy."
"In 2002 the administration laid out a plan that allowed U.S. emissions to grow until 2012 - the current proposal will allow our emissions to grow until 2025," she said. "This proposal is a non-starter both domestically and internationally." We'll talk about the goals proposed by the White House, and why some say they don't go far enough.

I know next to nothing about Linux (but am trying to learn). Now that we have that out of the way ...
I have an i5 - quad core 3.3Ghz, 16GB, 1TB SATA drives running (as plain as possible) Windows 7 Ultimate x64host - current on patches. On top of that I am running VMware Workstation v8 - VMware-workstation-full-8.0.2-591240 (latest update).
I have downloaded and installed http://ftp.telus.net/pub/centos/6.2/iso ... n-DVD1.iso as a guest VM. I also installed the VMware tools into this CentOS installation.
The issue I'm facing is when I attempt to shutdown or restart CentOS, I am presented a black (non-graphical) screen with :
Shutting Down...Running guests on default URI:
(if it's a restart, replace "Shutting Down" with "Restarting")
and it just sits there. Every other VM (including Windows 7, Red Hat v6.2 and Fedora 16) shuts down "properly" and "powers off" the VM.
I did some searching on that text and came up with a few indications that it was something to do with Linux's Virtual environment .... possibly a bug in earlier versions.
I did a - yum remove *virt* - which did nothing to affect my issue.
Any (easy to follow ) suggestions?
