|Repression in the Soviet Union
|Political repression
|Ideological repression
Prodrazvyorstka (also Prodrazverstka; Russian: Продразвёрстка, продовольственная развёрстка) was a Bolshevik policy and campaign of confiscation of grain and other agricultural produce from the peasants for a nominal fixed price according to specified quotas (the noun razvyorstka, and the verb razverstat' refer to the partition of the requested total amount as obligations from the suppliers).
The term is commonly associated with war communism during the Russian Civil War when it was introduced by the Bolshevik government. However Bolsheviks borrowed the idea from the grain razvyorstka introduced in the Russian Empire during World War I, in 1916.
World War I grain razvyorstka[edit]
1916 saw a food crisis in the Russian Empire. While the harvest was good in Lower Volga Region and Western Siberia, its transportation by railroads collapsed. In addition, the food market was in disarray. Fixed prices for government purchases were unattractive. A decree of November 29, 1916 (signed by Aleksandr Rittich (Александр Риттих), of the Ministry of Agriculture) introduced razvyorstka as the collection of grain for defense purposes. The Russian Provisional Government established after the February Revolution of 1917 could not propose any incentives for peasants, and their state monopoly on grain sales failed to achieve its goal.[1][2]
Soviet prodrazvyorstka[edit]
In 1918, the center of the Soviet Russia was cut off from the most important agricultural regions of the country. The reserves of bread were running short, causing hunger among the urban population, where support for the Bolshevik government was strongest.[citation needed] In order to satisfy the minimal food needs, the Soviet government introduced a strict control over the food surpluses of the prosperous rural households. Since many peasants were extremely unhappy with this policy and tried to resist it, they were branded as "saboteurs" of the bread monopoly of the state and advocates of the free "predatory", "speculative" trade.[citation needed] Vladimir Lenin believed that prodrazvyorstka was the only possible way to procure sufficient amounts of bread and other agricultural products for the population of the cities during the war.[3]
Before prodrazvyorstka the concept of "produce dictatorship" was introduced, by the May 9, 1918 decree of Lenin "О продовольственной диктатуре". This and other subsequent decrees ordered forced collection of foodstuff, without any limitations, and used the army to accomplish this.
Prodrazvyorstka was introduced all over Soviet Russia on January 11, 1919 by the Decree of the Sovnarkom. Prodrazvyorstka was also introduced in Ukraine and Belarus (1919), Turkestan and Siberia (1920). In accordance with the decree of the People's Commissariat for Provisions on the procedures of prodrazvyorstka (January 13, 1919), the amount of different kinds of products designated for collection by the state (some historians [weasel words] call it an outright confiscation) was calculated on the basis of the data on each guberniya's areas under crops, crop capacity and reserves of the past years. In guberniyas, the collection plan was broken down between uyezds, volosts, villages, and then separate peasant households. The collection procedures were performed by the agencies of the People's Commissariat for Provisions and prodotryads (продовольственный отряд, food brigades) with the help of kombeds (комитет бедноты, committees of the poor) and local Soviets.
Initially, prodrazvyorstka covered the collection of bread and fodder. During the procurement campaign of 1919–20, prodrazvyorstka also included potato and meat. By the end of 1920, it included almost every kind of agricultural products. According to the Soviet statistics, the authorities collected 107.9 million poods (1.77 million metric tons) of bread and fodder in 1918–19, 212.5 million poods (3.48 million metric tons) in 1919–20, and 367 million pounds (6.01 million metric tons) in 1920–21.
Prodrazvyorstka allowed the Soviet government to solve an important problem of supplying the Red Army and urban population and providing raw material for different industries. Prodrazvyorstka left its mark on the commodity-money relations, since the authorities had prohibited selling of bread and grain. It also influenced many, if not all, aspects of relations between the city and the village and became one of the most important elements of the system of the war communism.
With the end of the Russian Civil War, prodrazvyorstka lost its actuality. Moreover, it did much damage to the agricultural sector and caused peasants' growing discontent.[citation needed] As the government switched to NEP, prodrazvyorstka was exchanged for prodnalog (food tax) by the decree of the 10th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) in March 1921.

Sesame Street Celebrates its 40th Anniversary - And Goes 'Green'
National Geographic News
Ker Than in New York
for National Geographic News
Updated November 10, 2009
Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary, and thanks to a multiday parade of Sesame Street Google images, it'll be anything but a surprise party.
Still, with a little help from U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, the show looks to be joining what you might call the green party: The 40th-anniversary season premiere kicked off a two-year, environmental "curriculum" called "My World is Green and Growing."
But don't look for hot-button issues such as global warming on preschooler-oriented Sesame Street-no matter how many sunny days may be sweeping the clouds away. "Global warming and deforestation-those are really adult concepts, and it's just too scary for children," said Rosemarie Truglio, vice president of research and education at Sesame Workshop, the New York City-based nonprofit that produces Sesame Street.
"The place we're coming from is, 'Let's love and care for the Earth, because it's so beautiful, and we appreciate its awe and wonder, and we're going to respect it.'" Sesame Street's producers hope that children who learn to love and respect nature early on will grow up to become passionate advocates for our planet. "When you love something," Truglio said, "you want to take care of it."
Michelle Obama Greens Sesame Street, But Will Big Bird Fly the Coop?
The curriculum for Sesame Street changes every two years. The previous curriculum focused on literacy. The season before that revolved around healthy eating and had Cookie Monster gobbling fruits and vegetables for the first time.
Sesame Street's 40th season aims to educate children about the wonders of the natural world and teach them about concepts such as habitats, hibernation, and migration. No matter where they live, "we want kids to know there's nature in their neighborhoods," Truglio said. In tomorrow's premiere episode, Michelle Obama-fresh from harvesting the White House's new organic garden in the heart of Washington, D.C.-will help Elmo and Big Bird plant vegetables in the ersatz inner city of Sesame Street. (for kids: how to plant a garden).
In addition to Obama's gardening lesson, the premiere sees Big Bird pondering flying south from Sesame Street's chilly New York City setting. And in another episode, Baby Bear will have trouble hibernating and call in a "hibernation consultant" to help.
The next Sesame Street season, which is currently being written and will air in 2010, will use nature to teach kids the scientific method and encourage them to ask questions, make observations, and test hypotheses about the world around them (science experiments for kids). "We try to start from the vantage point of the child's everyday world," said Emily Kingsley, who's written for Sesame Street for 39 years. "We want to let them know that it's OK to say, I don't know-let's find out."
Promoting environmental awareness is old hat for Sesame Street, said Michael Davis, author of Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street. As far back as the 1970s, Sesame Street included lessons about nature and animals, Davis said. And a recent Sesame Street DVD had fire engine-red Elmo literally turn green while co-hosting "Earth-a-thon"-not to mention Elmo's Green Thumb, a Sesame Street Live production currently touring the United States. "I think it's been in their soul since the very beginning," Davis added.
"Sesame Street has always been about kindness, if you think about it-kindness in how we treat each other as neighbors and citizens of the same planet," Davis noted. "So it's not at all surprising to me that they're trying to teach kindness to the Earth and our environment."
Sesame Street Turning Kids Into Bird Brains
But in seasons 40 and 41, Sesame Street's lessons about nature will be more numerous and more prominent. Sesame Street writer Kingsley said: "We've had episodes that touched on environmental aspects in the past, but we're going to make sure that every show does it over the next [two] years." Kingsley is responsible for an episode in season 40 that will have kids practice being scientists for a day.
In the episode, Bert-a pigeon fanatic-is on a mission to find a blue bar pigeon. "Elmo and Abby decide to help Bert find this pigeon, and in their search they run into all these other kinds of birds," Kingsley explained. "After kids watch this show, they'll be able to identify chickadees, blue jays, robins, and blue bar pigeons by their shape, size, and birdcall."
Kingsley said that before any writing occurs for a new Sesame Street season, writers must participate in seminars run by experts on the chosen curriculum. "When the curriculum push is reading, we have literacy experts. When its numeracy, we have math people come in," Kingsley said. To write her pigeon episode, Kingsley researched the different types of birds and consulted at length with ornithologists at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. "People think we just do letters and numbers," Kingsley said. "They have no idea how much hard work goes into writing an episode."

ESPN: Why Warriors are likely to stand pat
User account number (aid): 48769
Posted by AllWeatherFan on 2013-02-13 00:19:44
Bob Myers spoke to a few reporters prior to Tuesday's game against Houston and the Warriors general manager sounds like he won't make a trade by the Feb. 21 deadline.
"We would like to take a longer look at our core, but, with that being said, we're always looking," Myers told the San Francisco Chronicle. "We haven't been able to view this team healthy for even 20 games, let alone a season, so we'd like to exercise some patience."
The Warriors currently have a full 15-man roster and sit about $1.22 million above the luxury tax.
"From our perspective, I think people view us as a team that would want to see it develop and grow and is relatively youthful," Myers said. "I don't think the league views us as a team that is looking to do things (in the trade market). I don't get that sense."
Myers may have it easy dealing with the trade deadline, but the offseason will be different as he has to retain Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry, who will be a free agent if he declines his 2013-14 $4 million player option. This could be difficult as giving both those players bigger deals will push the Warriors into the luxury tax again next season.

Student Organizations | Peace Studies Major | Summer Fellowships | International Programs | Peace & Justice Retreat | Careers & Internships
We encourage students to use their creativity in designing a fellowship project. While all projects are required to advance nonviolent peacemaking, we recognize that peacemaking is an interdisciplinary field that allows for creative intersection and overlap in many areas.
Suggested project designs include:
Projects including an international travel component must receive preliminary approval from the Office of International Education before being submitted to the Center for Peacemaking.
Graduate students applying for a fellowship are required to submit their completed work for publication in a scholarly journal within a year following the fellowship.
We highly recommend students to meet with Chris Jeske to share their interest in a fellowship and to discuss their proposed project.
The application includes a written description of the proposed project, a project budget, and an explanation of prior involvement with the Center for Peacemaking.
All applicants will be considered for the following opportunities:
Applications for Summer '15 are now available and are due on February 16, 2015.
Ciara McHugh
If Walls Could Talk...: A Photographic Exploration of the Murals of Belfast and Derry (2013)
Mná Síochána: Women & Peace In Northern Ireland (2012)
Ciara completed two fellowship projects that examined peacemaking in Northern Ireland. Through her fellowship projects, she learned about the physical and mental barriers to achieving peace by looking at the "peace walls" that exists between the Catholic and Protestant villages and the differing murals that have been painted on each side of the wall.
Through interacting with youth and adult community members, Ciara explored how the Catholic/Protestant division transcends mere religious differences. She found that the interfaces that the "peace walls" and murals create results in differences in how generations understand the conflict which creates additional barriers to achieving peace.
To learn how to work through these barriers, both physical and mental, Ciara participated in activities with local youth organizations that brought together Catholic and Protestant youth to work together in building community and achieving a lasting peace.
Elizabeth Bailey, Elizabeth Benninger, and Kathleen Scott
Youth Cultural Connection Program (2009)
Elizabeth, Lizzy, and Kathleen started their fellowship by developing a nonviolent conflict resolution program at a school in Cape Town, South Africa. This included talking circles to actively engage students in peacemaking and a peer jury system that was eventually accepted as part of the school's discipline system.
As they recognized the need for youth to dialog on how to address social issues as young leaders, they set out to connect youth living in the racially divided townships of Capr Town with youth living in segregated inner cities in the United States. Through writing letters, sharing photographs, and talking to each other over Skype, the youth in Cape Town, Milwaukee, and Cleveland discussed how to become better peacemakers and learned about each other's dreams and struggles.
Christopher Jeske
Documentary on race relations in Kirkwood, Mo (2009)
Chris created a series of videos including a feature-length documentary to promote understanding and forgiveness in the aftermath of a shooting at a City Council meeting in Kirkwood, Mo that resulted in seven deaths.
Chris interviewed over twenty community members to discuss topics ranging from the history of Kirkwood and Meacham Park, racism and white privilege in suburbia, details about what led to the shooting incident, responses to the tragedy, and strategies for moving forward. The resulting videos include Trying to Understand It All: The Kirkwood City Council Shooting, Understanding Racism, and Race Relations in Suburbia.
Lovette Merchant
Internship with the Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2009)
Lovette's fellowship provided her valuable experience in learning how to promote peace in post-conflict societies by working with the Liberia Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the Women NGO Secretariat of Liberia.
Lovette helped counsel women and children who had appeared before the TRC as witnesses to or victims of atrocities such as rape, sexual slavery, forced marriage, or forced recruitment. Through working with the TRC, she gained skills in restoring the human dignity of victims of violence, as well as fostering and facilitating healing, justice, and genuine reconciliation.
The second part of her fellowship focused on implementing effective grassroots peace and development initiatives. With the Women NGO Secretariat of Liberia, Lovette helped with many projects. She conducted interviews to collect data for a report on births, deaths, and infant mortality rates, she provided women resources on advocacy, negotiation, and mediation, and she encouraged women leaders with HIV/AIDS and children orphaned by AIDS to become engaged with civil society groups.

I have learned to shoot since I learned to walk. I am only 14 but wouldn't it be cool to have a kid on the show.
I would like more info on top shot casting.thank you
I have been involved in shootin from a very young age. Everything I do involves hunting or shooting! My main interest is in archery where I have done well even at a national level. But I am confident with any weapon you put in my hands! I have been both in front of and behind the camera while filming hunts. I am a father of 6 wonderful children. I work a full time job and own my own taxiderm business that I run on my days off. I am very confident in my skills as a marksman and it is my goal while shooting for the other competors to know that with in the first few shots that they don't have a chance at beating me! I would love to have the chance to be on top shot! Hope to hear from you!!!
I am 43 and I have been shooting all kinds of weapons since I was 8. I would love the chance to show what a strong competitor I am on your show. I watch it every tuesday and love the show and I think it's great that on your show nice guys finish first. Thanks for making a great show like this it is awesome.
I would die at a chance to prove my ability on top shot
I taught myself how to shoot at home and decided to go to the nearest gun club when I was around 8 years old, I shot there for 7 years and started shooting for competition and I made it all the way to nationals at texas in 2009 i think. I am 18 years old and would be very greatful to have the oppertunity to be on top shot. hope to hear from you. thanks
I play a lot of shooter games but can hold my own with any weapon: 1911, 92FS, AR, AK, 1022, Glocks, HK,SKS, recurve bow, sling shot, and even played competition paintball. If it has a projectile I want to send it to its intended destination and smile and laugh while doing it. Others play golf or tennis on weekends, I'd rather smell burning gunpowder in the morning…
For all who asked for information on how to submit a request or video to be considered for Topshot, you are clearly unqualified and are disqualified since you failed to find the information right before you. Therefore its obvious none of you could find, let alone hit, a target. So Topshot won't have to waste time sending you a decline letter since you made yourselves unworthy. And no, don't apply next time either.
ive been shooting since i was 5 i can shoot anything u give me i shoot every week 22s to 45-70s i can shoot crossbows and compound bows i can bring it better than any if you give me a chance to prove myself alot dont belive in me so i do my bet to impress all i can
I am not military, I have never been an avid hunter but I would be proud and honored to compete with those who are. I know what I can do and I'd sooner just prove it than brag on it behind a keyboard. Good luck to all. Hope to see you on the show.
I had guns and archery equipment before I could buy a hunting license. I am 46 years old and I can shot the balls off a rhino at double what mister cat scratch fever can do. I become the woods when I am hunting, and no animal or human know I am there. I would be honored to be a member of the top shot program. Hope to hear from you. Thank you.

Green Lipped Mussels Benefits Have Proven To Restore Whole Body Health
Green Lipped Mussels are found in the pristine waters of New Zealand and are a traditional food that was eaten mainly by the Maori (New Zealand's indigenous people) a hundred years ago. When indigenous people of any land find specific foods to be a miracle food then we can well believe it because if anyone knows they do.
Specifically, these people found that Green Lipped Mussels seem to be very beneficial to their entire health. Scientific research and studies have actually confirmed that there are incredible health benefits when consuming this all natural food in a powder form.
Green Lipped Mussels contain the amino acids glutamine and methionine, vitamins E and C, and minerals such as zinc, copper, and manganese. Other mineral salts and beneficial trace minerals are also in this wonder food.
In addition these mussels are jam packed with a rare combination of proteins, lipids, omega 3 fatty acids, and complex carbohydrates. Also, a high quantity of natural mucopolysaccharides (commonly referred to as MPS) or Glycosaminoglycans (commonly referred to as GAGs) is found in Green Lipped Mussels.
MPS and GAGs are groups of carbohydrates that are very important to maintain optimal health and provide vital nutrition for our body. When the amount of MPS decreases it will impact the aging process which starts when we still young. In order to avoid a decline of MPS, we recommend that you only consider to take a high quality Green Lipped Mussels supplement product that has successfully retained a high portion of MPS in the manufacturing process.
This is why we recommend only the best for your health. The supplements from a family owned company based in New Zealand called Xtend-Life can provide you the resources you need. This company has devoted their time and resources to developing effective products for their customers.
We personally believe that the supplements are of the best value for the money you spend on them. Accordingly, they are even supported with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
We suggest that you have a look at the comprehensive FREE Green Lipped Mussel Buyer's Guide provided by Xtend-Life.
What customers are saying on the manufacturer's website:
From Eric, USA.
"Immediately upon receiving my green lipped mussel on May 22nd I began taking 6 capsules per day along with 6 tablets of Arthrit-Eze per day. By the second day the pain in my knees from osteoarthritis began to diminish….As of Tuesday May 30th, US time, I have resumed walking the stairs of my school without leaning on the handrail and with no pain in my knees."
From Valerie P, Canada.
"We love your products.
I gave a bottle of Green Lipped Mussel to a friend who complained about pain in his joints. And he claims that a week after taking the supplement he has great improvements. But then his wife developed wrist pain from computer use, and she is taking now 4 pills of green-lipped mussel a day and pain disappeared".

Base silver penny of Olaf III, 'the Peaceful'
Early Medieval, AD 1066-93
Minted in Norway
A wide-ranging coinage from 11th-century Norway
Olaf III Haraldsson, 'the Peaceful', king of Norway (AD 1066-93) gained his nickname because he did not inherit the warlike characteristics of his Viking ancestors. The death of his father Harald Hardruler at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in England in 1066 is often taken as a convenient end point for the Viking Age. Even so, it is clear that Norwegian contacts overseas continued during Olaf's reign. He issued a very recognisable coinage, which very crudely imitated Anglo-Saxon coins around the turn of the first millennium. Several of Olaf's coins have been found in the British Isles, even though finds of foreign coins are rare during this period.
Further afield, a coin of the same type presents a rare piece of evidence for early Scandinavian contact with North America. The Icelandic sagas tell us that Viking explorers discovered North America in the late tenth century, 500 years before Christopher Columbus. A short-lived Scandinavian settlement site has also been discovered at l'Anse aux Meadows, on the northern tip of Newfoundland. This dates from the early eleventh century, but a single coin from the early part of Olaf's reign was found further south in Maine, on a native American settlement site. It is not certain that Scandinavian settlers went so far south, and the coin may have made its way south through trade.

Donald Farfrae is a young Scotsman, leaner and frailer than Henchard. However, what he lacks in physical strength, he more than makes up for in charm, wit, and good humor. Donald has a mind for mechanical things and business. But, whereas Henchard has no penchant for creative endeavors, Donald has cultivated a pleasant singing voice and knows how to give an entertainment that will appeal to others. The most pronounced contrast between Henchard's and Donald's characters is that Donald cannot truly harbor a grudge or wish to be vengeful. He is prudent in his philosophy and social outlook, and one feels that he and Elizabeth-Jane are manifestly suited to each other.

Jefferson And The Book-burners
When he offered Congress his library, his foes charged that it was full of books which "never ought to be read" and probably ought to be burned
August 1958 | Volume 9, Issue 5
When, on the night of August 24–25, 1814, General Robert Ross burned Washington, most though not all, of the infant congressional library went up in flames. Patrick Magruder, who doubled as clerk of the House and librarian, had betaken himself to Virginia Springs, and the convulsive efforts of his assistants to save the library foundered on the lack of wagons. A subsequent congressional investigation concluded somewhat illogically that the hapless Magruder should have foreseen this embarrassment and provided for it, and accepted his resignation.
The news of the destruction of the library shocked Thomas Jefferson, then in retirement at Monticello. He might with some justice regard the library as his special concern: it had been organized under his auspices, and he had found time, while President, to prepare for it a catalogue of desirable books—carefully leaving out those "for entertainment only"—which fixed for the present its acquisition policy. For some years he had been accumulating at Monticello a comprehensive and scholarly library; he himself called it "the choicest collection of books in the United States," and it probably was. He had thought to leave it to his darling University of Virginia, but that institution was still on his ardent drawing board, and the need of the nation was pressing. So on September 21 Jefferson wrote his old friend Samuel Harrison Smith (better known as Silky-Milky Smith or as the husband of the vivacious Margaret Bayard whose letters, later collected in The First Forty Years of Washington Society , were to tell all), offering his library to Congress on whatever terms the Congress might think proper. I learn from the newspapers [he wrote] that the vandalism of our enemy has triumphed at Washington over science as well as the arts by the destruction of the public library with the noble edifice in which it was deposited.… I presume it will be among the early objects of Congress to recommence their collection. This will be difficult while the war continues, and intercourse with Europe is attended with so much risk. You know my collection, its condition and extent.… It is long since I have been sensible it ought not to continue private property, and had provided that at my death, Congress should have the refusal of it at their own price. The loss they have now incurred, makes the present the proper moment for their accommodation, without regard to the small remnant of time and the barren use of my enjoying it. I ask of your friendship, therefore, to make for me the tender of it to the Library Committee of Congress.…
This handsome offer excited both enthusiasm and consternation. To some it transformed British vandalism into a benefaction; the congressional library, after all, numbered only some three thousand volumes, while Jefferson estimated his own collection (too generously, as it proved) at between nine and ten thousand. Not only this, but while the congressional library had been assembled almost fortuitously Jefferson's collection was admirably designed for the needs of scholars and statesmen. I have been fifty years making it [wrote Jefferson].… While residing in Paris, I devoted every afternoon I was disengaged, for a summer or two, in examining all the principal bookstores, turning over every book with my own hand, and putting by everything which related to America.… Besides this, I had standing orders during the whole time I was in Europe, on its principal book-marts, particularly Amsterdam, Frankfort, Madrid, and London, for such works relating to America as could not be found in Paris. So that, in that department particularly, such a collection was made as probably can never again be effected, because it is hardly probable that the same opportunities, the same time, industry, perseverance and expense, with the same knowledge of the bibliography of the subject, would again happen to be in concurrence.
Smith replied at once that he could see "no obstacle in the acceptance" of this offer. From the former editor of the Republican National Intelligencer this was excessively naïve. Die-hard Federalists—they were still another decade a-dying—would doubtless have fought anything bearing Jefferson's name, but this proposal seemed to them peculiarly offensive, for it combined in a single package a collection of iniquitous ingredients: a library of belles-lettres and classics which no self-respecting congressmen would read; an arsenal of Jacobinism, infidelity, and immorality; and a lavish financial subsidy to ex-President Jefferson himself.
But the Republicans controlled both branches of Congress, and the Federalists were forced to resort to obstructive tactics. Thus after the Senate had acted favorably on Jefferson's proposal and returned the bill to the House, Thomas Jackson Oakley of New York (he was later to be chief justice of that state, in which role "he was noted for his impartiality") moved to authorize the committee to buy not Jefferson's library, but any library; this crude evasion of the issue was summarily rejected. Cyrus King of Maine (then still a district of Massachusetts) moved the purchase of such books only as the Congress should deem suitable; John Reed of Massachusetts supported this, and added to it an amendment fixing the maximum price of $25,000. With these and other amendments before the House, "the debate," observed the editor of the Annals of Congress , "became rather too animated." In the end the Republicans swept aside all objections, and sent the bill on to the Senate for action.

Comments about Modtone MT-HT Harmonic Tremor Pedal:
Great little pedal. Really nice tremolo affect. Love the warmth it adds. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a vintage sounding effect at a reasonable price. Sturdy build like a Boss pedal.
Comments about Modtone MT-HT Harmonic Tremor Pedal:
The add says Split Bypass. The card in the box says True Bypass (whatever). It does suck the high end some like all split bypass pedals do.
There is a significant volume drop when switched on.
When switched on and the effect turned to zero the high notes loose all the clarity and volume, they get buried and loose their original shape.
The wave forms do sound good like they should.
I was dissapointed and sent it back after one day.
Standard control. Dissapointed they don't tell you what the input impedance is in the manual.
Nice looking pedal with good components.
If I would have liked it enough to keep it the price is ok.
Comments about Modtone MT-HT Harmonic Tremor Pedal:
I like this pedal very much. I have been using it for months now and it is a must have for any guitar rig. The shimmering effects and transient sounds that can be coaxed out of this pedal are irreplaceable. I have tried the Boss TR-2 and it did not even compare. The range of effects and the quality of sound is awesome. Buy
Comments about Modtone MT-HT Harmonic Tremor Pedal:
I had never heard of Modtone stuff before and my local dealer encouraged me to demo it. I have used it now on half a dozen gigs so far and I'm really immpressed. It's lighter weight than the Boss stuff so it's keeping the weight down on my Pedal Board. It sounds awesome over a wide range of settings. Most importantly, it does not boost the volume like some I've tried. I would highly encourage you to check it out.

A 50-year-old tourist from Alaska died at Straub Medical Center Sunday night where he was taken after the canoe he was in capsized near Kaiser Bowls surfing site in Waikiki.
The Medical Examiner's office identified the man as Lane Maalona, of Anchorage. He had been brought to shore near the Hilton Hawaiian Village lagoon and was undergoing CPR by bystanders when ocean safety personnel arrived at the scene around 4:40 p.m. He was taken to Straub 20 minutes later and died at 11:41 p.m., officials said.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine cause of death.

Thai protesters launch 'final battle' vs government-A A +A
Friday, May 9, 2014
BANGKOK -- Thailand's anti-government protesters headed to various locations in the capital Bangkok on Friday, beginning their promised "final battle" to oust the government and usher in reform before an election.
More than 10,000 protesters marched through the Thai capital to show that the ouster of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra by a court earlier this week was not enough. A protest leader warned they will retaliate if their demands for the government's complete removal were not met within three days.
Thai police fired tear gas and water cannons to push back hundreds of protesters trying to force their way into a government compound, the latest indication that ousting the premier will not solve the country's tense political crisis.
Four people were reported injured at the Center for the Administration of Peace and Order, the government's security command center, where protesters tried to push down barbed wire-topped concrete barriers outside the compound.
Traffic was snarled around Bangkok as protesters headed to Government House — the prime minister's main office — and surrounded several public television stations "to ask for cooperation" in stopping broadcasts on government news.
Friday's marches came two days after Yingluck was removed by the Constitutional Court on grounds that she had illegally transferred a civil servant to another post. Yingluck supporters and many analysts criticized the ruling as politically motivated.
The ruling has emboldened anti-government protesters who are backed by the country's urban elite and have staged six months of vociferous and sometimes violent demonstrations calling for Yingluck's ouster.
Their leader, Suthep Thaugsuban, demanded that the Supreme Court president, the Senate speaker and the Election Commission, along with other state agencies, jointly work to oust the current government.
"We want the change of government to be smooth. But if you cannot do it smoothly within three days, we the people will do it in our own way," Suthep said.
Protesters want to install an appointed government to oversee reforms before new elections are held, a concept criticized by many as undemocratic. They oppose polls tentatively scheduled for July, which Yingluck's allies would likely win.
The court rulings have angered Yingluck's supporters, known as the Red Shirts, who have called for a huge rally Saturday to show support for the government, which won a landslide victory in 2011 elections.
The competing rallies will be a test of the country's political volatility. They will be held several kilometers (miles) apart but have raised concerns of violence.
Thailand's long-running political crisis began in 2006 when Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ousted by a military coup after protests accused him of corruption, abuse of power and disrespect for King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Yingluck was criticized as Thaksin's proxy and protesters said they want to remove all traces of the politically powerful Shinawatras from Thai politics.
"Hand power back to the people," Suthep told a cheering crowd at Bangkok's Lumpini Park earlier in the day, when he called on protesters to keep the rally peaceful but also urged them to surround police cars. In the past, the protesters seized government offices, stormed television stations and cut electricity to several ministries.
More than 20 people have been killed and hundreds injured since November in sporadic gunbattles, drive-by shootings and grenade attacks.
Suthep called Friday's rally a "final offensive," a declaration mocked by some Thai media, which noted this was the 11th time in six months he has summoned supporters for a final protest.
After Wednesday's ruling that removed Yingluck, the National Anti-Corruption Commission followed up Thursday by indicting her on charges of dereliction of duty for overseeing a widely criticized rice subsidy program.
That ruling means Yingluck will face an impeachment vote by the Senate, though it is not clear how Yingluck could be impeached from an office she no longer holds.
A consistent string of decisions by the courts and independent agencies such as the anti-graft commission against Yingluck and her political machine has eroded many people's faith in the rule of law, raising the possibility of heightened civil unrest. Grenades were fired Thursday night by unknown people at three targets associated with the royalist establishment. (PNA/Xinhua/AP/Sunnex)

Advanced Micro Devices is going to launch its 32nm-based Trinity accelerated processing units this year (2012) and there is now some extra information on the line.
To be more specific, the Internet has uncovered some details about one of the chips that will be part of this product collection.
The unit in question is called A8-4500M and will take the place of the A8-3500M (the Llano-series equivalent).
Alas, we have no clock speeds to relay, so that will have to wait for a bit longer.
What we do have to write about is the result of a test reported by NordicHardware.
The dual-Piledriver A8-4500 was tested under the Folding benchmark, and there is a clear difference between the two GPU generations.
In terms of floating point speeds, A8-4500M "Trinity" scored 1,655.51 points on one of the two systems tested, and 1,679.55 on another.
Meanwhile, A8-3500M "Llano" got 1,580.98, which means that the average difference is of 5.47% (in favor of Trinity).
The integer speed (basically the CPU math performance) is where Trinity shines though: its score of 5,214.95 / 5 662.48 is about 38.67% better than the Llano's 3,921.99.
Added to the above is another benefit: the Radeon HD 6900-series graphics with some functions found in the new HD 7000.
We mentioned before that the product is a dual-Piledriver. What we meant by that is that two Piledriver modules are present, leading to a total of four x86 processor cores.
The clock speeds will be higher than those of the previous generation, but this goes without saying. After all, AMD did promise that the overall performance would be better by up to 25%, even though the TDP is the same (35W). If nothing else, the Folding benchmark tests are in line with that promise. We'll let you know if we uncover anything more.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European shares rose Tuesday, with banks and mining firms posting broad gains on growing hopes the European Central Bank will take new steps to address the euro-zone debt crisis and on hints that further monetary stimulus may be forthcoming in China.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index (SXXP) rose 0.4% to close at 272.58. The benchmark closed down 0.5% on Monday, its first loss in three days.
Across the Atlantic, stocks moved higher on Wall Street. Read more about U.S. stocks
"Markets have gradually been creeping higher over the past two months or so. There's a slightly more positive attitude about the euro zone and that the [European Central Bank] could provide some support for sovereign bond yields," said Ryan Djajasaputra, economist at Investec Securities.
Miners ranked among the biggest beneficiaries of the positive sentiment after a report from Chinese state-run Xinhua news agency's Economic Information Daily that Beijing was planning new economic stimulus for the second half of the year. Read more about the Asian market.
In London, shares of Rio Tinto PLC (RIO) RIO, +1.62% rose 2.1%, BHP Billiton PLC (BLT) BHP, +4.63% added 1.5% and Anglo American PLC (AAL) picked up 3.6%.
Also higher, Xstrata PLC (XTA) gained 2.1% as Ivan Glasenberg, chief executive of Glencore International PLC (GLEN), told Dow Jones Newswires that the proposed merger of Glencore with Xstrata is not a "must-do deal." Shares of Glencore rose 1.8%.
The gains helped lift the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index (UKX) 0.6% to 5,857.52. Barclays PLC (BARC) BCS, +0.51% gained 3.2%. Read more about London markets.
Banks advance
Banks also buoyed the Stoxx 600 index Tuesday, recouping losses a day after the European Central Bank called "misleading" a weekend news report that it was weighing a plan to cap yield spreads within the euro zone.

Late Monday, however, the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that ECB technicians are examining plans to cap bond yields, among other options. In addition, Joerg Asmussen, a German member of the central bank's executive board, backed the concept of bond purchases in an interview with a Frankfurt newspaper.
"If the ECB is willing to go any length to provide a cap on bond yields that would be a positive for risk sentiment," Investec's Djajasaputra said. "But we're lacking details on that plan, so we still have to wait and see until the next meeting in September."
Another market mover in the short term, he said, could be meetings between Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and euro-zone officials.

Attic Bedroom Investment
Attics are penny-wise candidates for remodeling projects because the basic structure — a roof and floor — already exist. Although the pitch of the roof usually dictates sloping interior walls and restricted headroom, people often find these quirky characteristics charming and desirable.
According to "Remodeling" magazine's annual "Cost vs. Value Report," a midrange attic bedroom remodel costs $51,696 and returns more than 77% of the original cost, based on national averages.
Attic Bedroom Requirements
An attic bedroom has special requirements:
- Stairway from the floor below
- Adequate insulation
- Interior walls
- Dormer windows for air, daylight, and emergency egress
The cost of these projects, plus standard costs for installing heating and cooling systems, finishing surfaces, and adding a bathroom, is about $192 per square foot.
The return on your investment in an attic remodel varies by region. In the Pacific area of the country, including Oregon and Hawaii, the return on investment is over 91%. In the west-north-central states, such as Iowa and Kansas, the return on an attic remodel is about 69%.
National average cost, 15-foot-by-15-foot attic bedroom remodel with bath:
Job Cost: $51,696
Resale Value: $39,908
Cost recoup: 77.2%

Okay, I apologize. We're just talking past each other.

You seemed to think I was ignoring the issue of sexuality, which confused me. The only explanation I could think of for why you would interpret my words that way was that you were assuming "not big-breasted" meant "not sexy." I apologize for making that assumption, but then, what
you mean?
Just that praticality alone does not make a better character. In fact, there are excellent characters which don't make much practical sense in the real world, and trying to make them follow arbitrary rules of what we consider realistic does not make them better. I'm talking about Catwoman here, but I could be talking about Miss Marple, Fagin or James Bond and my point would be the same.
And I apologize too for my rude tone.

Welcome to Food.Family.Ephemera
One such record is the diaries/journals of women which hold rich information about the author's life and the lives of the women she knew and wrote about. Midwife's journals provide us a glimpse of the midwife and her work as well as the families she served.
Another source that is like a name's list of women is signature/friendship quilts. These quilts document a place in time and typically an event. Signature quilts are another interest of mine and I will be writing about those in the future. One recent melding of genealogy and quilting is a new blog that a few of us dreamed up Genea-Quilters, where you can post photos and stories of your ancestor's quilts. (Join us on Facebook too).
Finally, what this blog is all about. One of the sources that are part of women's lives are cookbooks. There are different types of cookbooks, some written by food companies, manufacturers, some written by chefs, and a host of others. But it's the community or charity cookbooks that provide information about what women cook and share with their families. Community cookbooks began to be published during the time of the American Civil War. They provide recipes from a group of women and at the very least include their names and affiliation. Sometimes they include much more information that tells us something about their lives.
This blog will explore community cookbooks, what they tell us about women's lives and where you can find them. My research into the topic is going to include presentations to various societies and articles as well as a database of these cookbooks searchable by the individual woman's name (more on this to come). This is an ongoing project that will show the valuable resource that community cookbooks are to genealogists and historians.
So welcome to this blog. I hope it brings to life the great sources left behind by our female ancestors.
2 comments:
Gena, what a great idea! I too collect many old cookbooks even though I have almost sworn off cooking in pursuit of genealogy! Will follow this closely and see what I might have to offer. I don't know if any of mine are "mysterious" but they will certainly command a second look and maybe I will even be inspired to look for some ancestors in them AND to cook again! ThanksReplyDelete
Oooh, genealogy and cookbooks! Two of my favorite things.ReplyDelete

Is 'Real Housewives of Toronto' Next?
According to the Hollywood Reporter, casting is underway for 'Real Housewives of Toronto.' Canada-based Lark Productions is at work on the series, but it has not been given the official green light.
Lark has a deal with NBC Universal, parent company to Bravo, the home of 'The Real Housewives' franchise. The production company is led by former CTV development head Louise Clark.
Just because this is reportedly in development doesn't mean it will ever make it to Bravo.
Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Miami' has been panned by critics and failed to grab decent ratings, only pulling in around 1 million viewers.
The fate of 'Real Housewives of DC' is up in the air, with reports of cancellation, making it the only canceled 'Housewives' series. However, 'DC' did better in the ratings than 'Miami,' pulling an average of 1.5 million viewers.
Bravo honcho Andy Cohen recently went on record saying 'Real Housewives of Miami' would be the last new addition to the franchise. "I really feel like we're done," Cohen said.
Tell us: Would you watch 'Real Housewives of Toronto'?
