Glasgow, Ky. (June 6, 2012) - Secretary of the Kentucky Labor Cabinet, Mark Brown presented Farmers with the Governor's Safety and Health Award. "Farmers RECC has set an example for all Kentucky businesses and we hope they follow in your steps," Brown said.
The award is particularly noteworthy considering the type of work Farmers employees are involved in daily. Workers travel across all types of terrain, climb tall poles and work around thousands of volts of electricity on a daily basis. In addition to those hazards, office workers can be injured as easily as the employees that work in the field.
"We are celebrating business as usual today," said Bill Prather, Farmers president and CEO. "This award shows that we are an organization where safety is second nature and we are proud of our employees for creating and maintaining a safe work environment."
Farmers RECC employees worked for three years with no lost time accidents, and also received a safety award from their statewide organization, the Kentucky Association of Electric Cooperative to recognize their record.
"It's important for everyone to stay safe at work," said Leah Holliday, a Customer Service Representative at Farmers RECC and a member of the Safety Committee. "We want everyone to go home to their families at the end of the day."
Farmers RECC was formed in 1938 and is owned by the members they serve. Farmers employs 67 people and provides electric service to over 24,500 members of eight Kentucky counties across 3,323 miles of line and 61,612 poles. Today more than 900 electric cooperatives provide reliable and technologically advanced service to 40 million Americans, while maintaining a consumer-focused approach to business.

Scouting Video: Kohl Stewart, RHP, St. Pius X HS (2013 Draft)
By The Baseball Beginnings Guy
May 7, 2013
Kohl Stewart probably has a lot of ink and eyes on him this spring and I haven't seen him since August. So when I saw him, he was a big, strong physical kid with a good arm. Beyond that, well, any sort of hyperbole on my part would be pre-draft jocksniffing journalism, and that ain't my style. Big kid, throws hard, let's see what happens next. All I can really tell from this video is that at the time it was filmed, he was a thrower and not a pitcher. Or that's all that I will say in public that I can infer from even the quickest look at anyone I see.

Integrating Apache Hadoop in your Existing DW and BI Environment
- by Gretchen Malay
- November 08, 2010
- 3 comments
Organizations are looking for a cost-effective way to deal with data that are now arriving in an unprecedented variety, velocity and volume. Apache Hadoop provides a way to capture, store and analyze this deluge of complex data. Data integration platforms, data warehousing technologies and business intelligence tools have traditionally been the core of most enterprises' data management infrastructure. To take full advantage of the power offered by Hadoop, our customers have requested integration with their existing enterprise data systems and so we have formed partnerships with Informatica, Teradata, Aster Data, Pentaho, Talend and more.
One of our customers, eBay, is using Hadoop to dramatically improve the buyer's search experience and better match them to sellers, thereby improving sales and profits. You can hear about how eBay has integrated Hadoop into their existing data warehouse and business intelligence environment in our upcoming webinar.
Join us for this webinar with Anil Madan of eBay and Jeff Hammerbacher of Cloudera on:
Wednesday, November 17 at 10:00am PT, 1:00pm ET
Anil Madan, eBay, Director of Engineering, Analytics Product Development
Anil leads the team at eBay that is leveraging its data assets to do advanced insights and analytics, by sourcing huge volumes of data into their Hadoop cluster and running clickstream and transactional data analysis for user behavior, search quality and research use cases.
Jeff Hammerbacher, Cloudera, Founder and Chief Scientist
Jeff conceived, built, and led the Data team at Facebook. The Data team was responsible for inventing and building powerful data analysis applications on Hadoop. That system is the core data platform at Facebook for improving the user experience and driving revenue.

This park was designed as a Mobile Home Park, but there are many RVs staying these days. What makes this park is the friendly management and long stay residents. We booked for a week and stayed a month, went away and then came back for another month. We were made welcome upon arrival and invited to all activities. Very quiet at night. - Jaxsmom

This Park is really nice has excellent pool, managers were extremely helpful, was slow season for them we were only overnighters there 2 nights, also $1.00 a night for dog not a problem. - zookep9

"Senior Living On The Salton Sea" That's what the business card reads anyway. This place is an anomaly by todays standards. Built back when the Salton Sea was a going concern, this park still holds on. In most of the places we've stayed it's the people that make up the soul of a park. This one is no exception. Staying for a month like we did, revealed that everyone was open and friendly. We were invited to the many events that go on here. As far as the park itself, it's a mixture of trailers, mobile homes, and 5th wheels. The open areas are for the transients. Just be aware that since the park was designed for mobile homes, the power supply, water, and sewer hookups were on the wrong side for us. A 20 foot sewer hose should work out for most folks. There is a gravel dog walk area that would be great if the owners would enclose the front with a fence and a gate. Lots of folks have sand rails here which is the main attraction for the area. The park is very quiet at night except for a couple of resident owls, coyotes, and morning doves. The view of the water is nice although the best description for it is, " a water desert." We didn't notice one boat, fisherman or swimmer while we were there. There is a laundry, showers, clubhouse, pool and spa here, so if a swim is what you want that;s where you go. There is a new market by Hwy. 86 as well as a restaurant. A small casino is just down the road. If you need wifi just check into the Salton City library, it's free. Indio is 30+ miles north on Hwy. 86 and has a Costco, Wal-Mart, ect. You'll find the closer you get to Indio and Palm Springs, the rates for staying at RV parks will double or triple. We felt we got the most bang for the buck here. As always, your milage may vary. We would stay here again. - Treeman

A Dream About Eddie Kingston
February 22nd, 2014
The following is true in that I had a dream that featured pro wrestler Eddie Kingston and chose to write down the details of it in order to tweet it to him.
A young Eddie Kingston quits high school and runs away because people are firing arrows at him.
He keeps running and soon he is in Southern California running down a gravel road. Sometimes he stops and hits the deck as a top-down convertible passes by aiming machine gun fire at him.
He continues to run like Forrest Gump in that jogging montage. A song is playing with vocals from a unknown vocalist. Eddie chimes in for a verse of the song, which turns out to be about him.
The untitled-so-we'll-call-it "Ballad of Eddie Kingston" ends up being thirty minutes long and the second half of it is sung by Steve Perry of Journey. The "ballad" becomes a major hit and is praised for being, as this reviewer puts i,t "the 'Alice's Restaurant' or 'American Pie' of contemporary Christian rock-pop."
Eddie attempts to long-jump the first paved road he sees. It is a busy street with a median. He clears the median but lands on the hood of a moving car.
The song is adapted into a movie, as Eddie plays himself in a post-apocalyptic California trying to protect a family of three from top-down convertibles driven by atheist thugs who shoot the hashtag #justfacts into the open. Damien Sandow has a cameo in the movie, dressed like Aladdin.
After the #justfacts drive-by, Eddie tells the family about his fall from faith. He talks about traveling across the country to half-heartedly tell schoolkids to worship Jesus and not do drugs. In his school lectures, he makes up a story about playing on the soccer team and trying pot for the first time while rehabbing for a leg injury.
I woke up after that.

Rendezvous question
Hi all,
The question is simple. I have a network with 1 rendezvous peer and 2 edge peers. Both edge peers publish their own peerAdvertisements, but when they try to get remote advertisements they only can find the rendedezvous advertisement and their own one (the other edge peer seems to be invisible). I've seen the same question in older posts, but the answers are not clear.
Is there a way for the Rendezvous to propagate the advertisements it discovers? i thought it would do it automatically, but I was wrong. Did i miss something in the peer configuration (edge or rendezvous)?
Thank you very much in advance.
hi dear Mr. or Miss
i am puzzled by the blanks which are in the configure window that appears at the first time you run a jxseshell.
how to configure RDVs Settings and Relay Settings correctly then i can find relay seed or RDVs?
waiting for reply.
thank you
Few years ago there was a list with rendezvous and relay peers to allow personal applications work with full network operability. Nowadays these peers don't work (I don't know why), but if you want to try JXTA "locally" (I mean multiple peers at the same machine only to see how does it work) I would advise to implement a rendezvous peer in your net with a static listening port and put that address in the shell blank spaces.
The code to make a rendezvous peer is quite simple. Configure the NetworkManager with a static port/address to listen. Start the network, get the rendezvous service from NetworkManager and start it...
If you want to connect with peers out of your local network you must implement a relay peer, but I don't know 100% how does it works. I suppose that you must to know at least one relay peer outside and hardcode its address in the local relay (or maybe code a way to discover relay peers?). Afterwards you must set the local relay peer in your local peers as we made with the rendezvous peer.
I hope this will be helpful. Bye!
hi friend, could u like to help me to tackle some detail qustions about jxta? Please contact me, i realy need ur help. many thx!
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
hi friend, may i contact u to ask some detail questions about jxta? does jxta performance well? Please send me email if you want to help me, many thanks!!
Email : firstname.lastname@example.com
ok, forget it.
It was my fault. Since I started the rendezvous, the edge peers were too fast to allow the former to publish their advertisements.
The solution: wait few seconds.
Thank you very much anyway. Bye!

Teaching Our Children About Sex.
As a child of the '70s, and more-over, a child of the counter-culture, I can say there is such a thing as too much permissiveness. However, sexual positivity and sexual permissiveness are not by nature the same thing.
Conscious parenting has many focuses and aspects. But one area that perennially gets too little attention in the movement toward conscious parenting is that of sex and our kids.
If we, as conscious parents, can't begin bringing sex out of the closet, who can? Yet again and again I see evidence of a profound split in our (counter) cultural psyche that has sex on one side and everything else on the other.
Recently, our esteemed editor, Waylon Lewis, started a new fan page on facebook. Here's his post about the new page:
Join our new page (elephant journal gets sexy) where we'll be posting the Sexy once we have enough friends over there (we're making this page more family-friendly).
As I understand it, Waylon didn't do this because he wanted to, but because he had gotten tired of having to apologize for "sexy" content on the elephant journal fan page.
Why does "family friendly" translate to "devoid of any sexual content"?
How are we supposed to have an open conversation with our kids about sex when we can't have a rational conversation about it as adults? It's not our kids who are reading the fan page, its us!
Apparently, there is no "middle way" as far as our cultural relationship with sex is concerned.
But here's the simple truth; we have bodies. We have sex. And according to science, sex is good, and good for us!
Our culture is saturated with sexualized images. It's drenched in sexual terminology. Sexual energy is a foundational part of social interaction.
Not all of these things are always positive. Many sexualized images are not sex-positive, and much of the sexual terminology at play in the social lexicon of the schoolyard is down-right negative.
But in our blanket negation of sexual expression as part of a healthy life, or even a healthy spiritual reality, we in effect take ourselves out of the conversation.
When things are hidden, they gain importance. Separating sex out makes it simultaneously more important (not always in good ways) and less transparent (rarely a good thing at all).
What we don't say often says more than what we do say. Leaving sex out of the conversation makes it a dark and hidden topic. Forbidden fruit. Dirty. Unmentionable.
But a question you may want to ask yourself is, "Where do I want my kid getting his/her information about sex from?"
The best tool we can offer our children is sexual literacy.
Sexual literacy begins with awareness and appropriate education. The information you hand down to your child will inevitably be flavored by your own values, morals and ethics. So the more clear you are on what those values, ethics, and morals are, the more consciously you will be able to help your child gain literacy, and develop their own ethical structure.
One starting point for increasing awareness and definition of your sexual ethics is my Sexual Values and Ethics Worksheet. This worksheet can also be a starting point for a group discussion with your family, other parents, or your friends.
Contrary to popular belief, sexual expression does not instantly commence at puberty. Children, like all of us, are sexual beings. They have sexual feelings, and sexual curiosity. They engage – even in utero – in sexual self-stimulation.
Ignoring the fact that our children have their own sexual lives won't make the fact that they do go away. Yet the idea of seeing "sex" and "child" in the same article, let alone the same paragraph or sentence, puts many parent's hair on end.
In our household, sex has always been one of the items on the table. Not the only item, not the central item, but not a hidden item either.
Since my kids were little, we've parented with a few rules about communication. Rules for us, as parents – not rules for them. Rule number one, and first in importance, has always been, "If the child is old enough to ask a question, she's old enough for a valid, age-appropriate answer."
This rule has been implemented regarding everything from ecology to economy to spirituality to sexuality. And this leveling of the conversational playing field has had the effect of ameliorating both super-negative and super-positive charge on the topic of sex and sexuality.
This tack hasn't removed all embarrassment, nor has it ensured that our children agree with us regarding everything we believe about sex. It hasn't made it so that our children are automatically going to defer to us without argument when we set a limit.
But those things were never the goal.
Years worth of open, educated, aware, and non-judgmental conversation with our children has allowed for an ongoing and honest dialogue; one where our kids know that sex is a natural part of the conversation. It has made our home a safe place to discuss a socially and culturally charged, complex topic.
And, most importantly, this encouragement of sexual literacy has allowed our kids the ability to make their own well thought-out and conscious choices about sex and sexuality.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

Thanks Lasara, for your thoughtful perspective on sex in parenting.
I have always been one to support a developmentally appropriate approach for children to the introduction of everything from literacy, to social activism, to sexual awareness. I appreciate the reminder that the topic of sex and children are not mutually exclusive.
I do support Waylon in creating a space dedicated to family and child oriented topics, not as a prudish reaction to the discussion of sex, but in support of a conscious community interested in family and child related discussions. Not everyone reading Ele articles with 'naked' in the title are interested in such.
For me, it simply adds another dimension and space to dig deep into rich dialogue about children, education and parenting.
Diana Mercer
Great post, Lasara! Thanks for the perspective on this issue. Also, the worksheet looks really interesting. We'll be using it.
What you say about children, sexual development, and honest answers to honest questions is exactly right on as far as I'm concerned.
Great article, Lasara! This has been a topic of conversation in our moms group and, of course, between my husband and I. I will share this article and worksheet with many. Question: How does one determine what information is age appropriate? We have only one child–a 9-yr old son.
Cheers! Lynn
My kids both got their very first 'sex talk' in preschool…we studied plant reproduction! From there we studied how different insects and bugs reproduced and so on…by middle school, talking about mammal reproduction was easy. It's natural…great article, I have friends who are scared to talk about sex with their kids, and that scares me!
Wow, wonderful blog structure! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging glance easy. The overall glance of your site is magnificent, let alone the content!
[…] ex-boyfriend once who said, with no small amount of embarrassment, that when he learned a girl was molested as a child there was a guilty sense of excitement. Sort of like: "Oh yeah! She's a freak!" He […]
Thanks Lasara! Good to see you blogging, it's been a long time! I love that you're writing about raising sex positive children. My friend Nekole and I started a FB page (Raising Sex Positive Children) because the need is so prominent these days. Come check out our page.

Can't seem to get enough of all things pretty, maybe it's the little girl inside of me... but white, floaty dresses keep invading my wardrobe, as does anything that looks like lingerie. If only it was hot enough to actually wear it without shivering all the time...

Still loving...
Sorry I haven't posted for a while, I've been in France with my family. Anyway, here's a selection of a few things I'm still loving. They include:
- messy bunches, especially when featured in Russh magazine (see top pic)
- high heeled desert boots
- sheer cycling shorts under shorts/dresses
- Miu Miu platforms (cliche but seriously, they are too fit)
- Abbey Lee, in particular photos of her smoking rollies as it makes me feel better about my rollie habit... if only for a few moments
- big black hats
- khaki shirts
- flower head bands (so easy to make, I made one last summer but it only lasted a day or so, definately going to hit the florists soon for another one... is it socially acceptable to wear one of these to Uni....?)

Friday saw me wear quite possibly the cheapest outfit I have EVER worn. Wedges from Ebay were £5, cardigan from Ebay was £1.50, dress borrowed from housemates mum (random, I know), socks £1 from Primark, tights £1 from Primark, and bag £1 from 'Help the Aged'. This being poor malarky seems to be working out quite well for me.... it's made me realise that firstly, I can NEVER, EVER stop buying new clothes, even if I have 50 pence to my name and I'm living on the streets. But that's ok - because my sheer determination at wanting something new just encourages me to bargain hunt like I've never bargain hunted before. Clothes aside, it was lovely to see Lolly again. We've decided to do some more collaborations together, she's such an amazing photographer and quite frankly my photos on here are...shockingly bad. I need some help.

Oh Daria... ! She always looks amazing and I absolutely adore everything she wears. I love how Daria and Abbey Lee still manage to keep their relaxed hippy style, even though they must always be surrounded by intimidatingly glamorous fashionistas. Is it possible to turn lesbian for just two women?

Oil overheating, coolant cool but low?
So I'm sitting in a parking lot about half way to work. On the way, I saw my Edge showing oil temps at about 220 while coolant was around 195... yikes. So I backed off to see if there would be any change. Coolant temps stayed the same but oil kept climbing to 255. I was wondering if maybe my coolant sensor was going bad cause that didn't make much sense to me.
I took the next exit and hit the first parking lot. When I popped the hood I was met with a bit of smoke and rhe smell of melting plastic and coolant I could see the shrouding over a plug on the front pass side of the engine kinda steaming (spoiler alert from post #3 - it was getting a nice hot coolant bath).
My coolant degass bottle was full before the weekend... now its bone dry! Yet no coolant in the bay, safe a little spray around previously mentioned plug (spoiler: hose blew in that area)... no codes either. Been waiting about an hour for it to cool down and looking for some water.
So head gasket? Egr? Cooler? Whats most likely and how should I diagnose?
Should I try to limp it home?

Just filled it back up with water. The heater(?) hose on the right (pass) side of the alternator came off. How the hell did that happen?
Last edited by yinzer; 06-28-2013 at 12:52 PM.
I was able to limp it back home. EOT never got about 220, so thats an improvement. I did get a good bit of white smoke out the tailpipe at low speed/idle Looks like I might get to bulletproof, at least
Still trying to figure out what happened. The hose that popped off looks like it's the water pump outlet hose that runs into the heater core. No idea how/why it came off, as it was a pain to get back on ... pretty snug. The hose clamp still had nice grip marks where it was, and it was where it should have been. I'm guessing it blew off due to pressure? Maybe a clog somewhere in the coolant system? Does that happen in these motors?
I can't find any good coolant flow diagrams, but the ones I've seen suggest that heater core is an independent parallel coolant circuit. That is, if pressure built up in that system, it would have to be due to a heater core blockage? That heater wasn't on, so that doesn't make much sense to me.
Would it be possible for a clogged oil cooler to cause the coolant hose going to the heater core to build pressure? I guess it's all one system, so if that's the weakest link...

So the big question is: what do I do now? I've been doing some reading, and its unclear as to whether its a busted EGR cooler, or a blown head gasket. Whats the easiest way to find out? I'm sure pulling the EGR is a lot easier than pulling the head, but if there's an even easier method, I'm all ears.
BTW, I also got a cyl #2 contribution code on the way home right after a little stutter. No CELs, but the code was there. Best I can tell, that might be due to a gasket or EGR failuer.
Pull your egr valve out if it is wet with coolant inside your intake manifold your egr cooler has ruptured. If the delta are high replace the oil cooler. Might as well delete the egr cooler while in there. If you have a bubling sound coming from your degas bottle when the engine is running its the head gasket might even have to put a load in the engine to hear it. BPD has a good video on diagnosing the head gasket with a pressure gauge on you tube.
thanks, I'll give it a shot as soon as it stops raining. Been checking out videos the past few hours and that was pretty much my game plan
How worried should I be about the engine oil getting past 255*? I'm def gonna be changing it before running the truck any more (sucks, only has like 2k miles on it), but should I be worried about other residual damage?
The heater core is an independent parallel circuit as you suspected. It sounds like the cooling system overpressurized, possibly from a blown head gasket. Have you noticed recently, whether it was using coolant? As for the oil hetting to 255*, damn thats hot, but the engine should have defueled at 250* and you should have noticed a lack of power. If it is a blown headgasket, determined with the gauge test, then I would change the oil anyway when the HG'S are done, with studs, and an EGR delete. Good luck
Yea, I did notice a lack of power. Once I saw the temps spike, as mentioned, I backed off to about 50mph on the freeway, which didn't ask much from the engine. When I started wondering if the readings were right or a bad temp sender, I tried adding a little more throttle and got nothing. That's when I pulled over.
I didn't noticed any loss of coolant. I checked within the last week and the degas bottle was reading at full. I filled it after letting it cool back down today, again to the full mark. I then drove about 2.5mi to an auto parts store, where I stopped to check again. By the time I got there, the degas was completely empty again (but temps are ok). I figure that this might have been due to the thermostat opening and increasing the volume a bit?
Not sure on that... either way, I bought some cheap-o coolant to top back off. It took about 3/4 of a gallon. I then cruised back home, keeping a close eye on my temps. It was about 15miles, and temps were reasonable. I did get a lot of white smoke at first on my way to the highway, but I couldn't see it over ~30mph. After I exited, I didn't notice any more white smoke. When I got home, I checked the coolant level again. It's no longer at full, but the degas bottle isn't completely empty. Is about 2" below the low marking.
Have you done the pressure test? If your pressure test is normal, delete the EGR, and change your oil cooler while your under there. Install a coolant filter and switch to a Diesel rated ELC
Not yet, I'll have to put together a tester. Anyone know off the top of their head the ID of the degas bottle lines?

Policies to restrict carbon emissions potentially could inhibit significant production growth from US shale gas formations, an expert warned.
"Fugitive emissions are the biggest issue, and if they are considered too high, it could reverse the potential gains," said Alan Krupnik, senior fellow and director of the Center for Energy Economics and Policy at Resources for the Future.
His remarks came during a Nov. 28 RFF seminar, "The Future of Fuel: Toward the Next Decade of US Energy Policy," as panelists considered possible impacts for nuclear, coal-fired, and renewable power, and energy efficiency in addition to oil and gas.
Krupnik said for natural gas, most of the regulation still occurs at the state level, where it can vary significantly. "Several are playing catch-up, even states like Texas where gas has been produced for a long time," he said. "They generally rely on command-and-control requirements, such as specifying how far a well has to be from a river or stream. Local governments are also crying foul and challenging states' authority to site wells."
Another panelist, Frank A. Verrastro, a senior vice-president specializing in energy and geopolitics at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, said pressure to move more oil and gas regulation to the federal level comes as the US tries to move from an atmosphere of scarce supplies and rising demand to one of ample supplies and falling demand.
"There's a lot of overlap among the fuel groups. Environmental concerns are large," he observed. "The real dilemma is how we reconcile this large resource base with those concerns…. Unconventional and ultradeepwater resources are expensive to discover and produce. Regulations should be effective, but not overly burdensome. We should seek a balance."
Areas of uncertainty
Verrastro said despite the apparent abundance of tight oil and gas onshore with multilayered formations and significant ultradeepwater crude oil resources offshore, the US outlook still is far from certain. "Will these resources be produced more efficiently as they are developed? If not, we could blow through them quickly," he said. "Will the necessary investments be there? Can the Bakken shale success story be replicated over and over?"
The situation is aggravated by major policy questions, he continued. "Government policymakers' priorities change," Verrastro said. "Sometimes climate is at the top, sometimes economics, and sometimes energy. That's what makes it so hard for them to be consistent."
Krupnik said just how widespread unconventional oil and gas sweet spots are is another big question. "If you start looking at the data, you see how choppy it is. Even a small movement can change these wells' productivity," he said. "There's also a tension as productive sweet spots are drained and producers move to less productive sweet spots."
He also cautioned against over-optimism about other countries being able to replicate US unconventional production successes. "We need to temper our optimism about international potential," Krupnik said. "A typical unconventional well in China now is being drilled for $12 million, compared with $1-3 million in the US."
Verrastro suggested that concerns likely will not destroy the resources' potential, however. "We're finding this resource base, and the productivity of these wells, is incredible," he said.
Other participants at the seminar included RFF President Philip R. Sharp; Michael Schaal, from the US Energy Information Administration; Douglas Arent, from the National Renewable Energy Laboratories; Richard Meserve, president of the Carnegie Institution for Science; Jeffrey R. Holmstead, a partner in Bracewell & Juliani's Washington office; and Karen Palmer, a senior fellow and research director at RFF.

am getting boring on how much power mid lane has if mid laner fails too hard the game is pretty much done.
Shiv synergizes much better with Sivir's kit. Her Q and W give her strong AoE damage in teamfights and strong waveclear for splitpushing (she's an amazing splitpusher), and Shiv fits that niche for her really nicely.

Consumers seek discounts, private label
29 October 2013
LONDON: Decreased consumer spending does not necessarily signal fewer purchases, according to a new report which also indicates that consumers in emerging markets are more enthusiastic about spending than those in developed ones.
Euromonitor International's
Global Consumer Trends Survey 2013
analysed the lifestyle traits of 16,300 online consumers in nine major developed and emerging markets, including Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, the UK and the US.
It found that most consumers were planning to keep spending at constant levels over the next year and a significant number also intended to decrease spending but were unwilling to forgo consumption. Instead, they were shopping at discount stores or purchasing private label brands.
Euromonitor further noted that most consumers actually expected to keep category-specific spending constant. Emerging market consumers, however, planned to increase spending.
Compared to consumers in developed markets, emerging market consumers were significantly more likely to increase spending on technology (29% compared to 9%) and travel (32% compared to 14%). A similar pattern was evident in the other categories of apparel, cinema and theatre, fast-food restaurants and full-service restaurants.
Overall, when considering these six categories of non-essential goods, fewer than one in five consumers had increased their spending over the past year and roughly one in three had decreased it.
When they did cut back, fast food was the category most likely to suffer (38%), while people were reluctant to give up on luxuries such as holidays.
On this point specifically, 13% of consumers who planned to decrease spending over the next 12 months also said they would spend more on travel and vacations.
In terms of their approach to shopping, the survey found that global online consumers liked bargains, but would in general prefer to own fewer high quality items than a lot of lower quality ones.
In addition, they liked to try new things and were not especially concerned about buying branded products, although they were willing to pay more for these.

What Is Hypohidrosis?
Sweating is your body's way of cooling itself off. Some people are not able to sweat normally because their sweat glands are no longer functioning properly. This condition is known as hypohidrosis or anhidrosis. It can affect a person's entire body, a single area, or scattered areas.
The inability to sweat normally can cause overheating, which can lead to heat stroke—a potentially fatal condition.
Hypohidrosis can be difficult to diagnose; mild hypohidrosis often goes unnoticed. The condition has many causes. It can be inherited or develop later in life.
Who Is at Risk for Hypohidrosis?
As you age, a diminished ability to sweat is normal. Conditions that damage your autonomic nerves, such as diabetes, also make problems with your sweat glands more likely.
Skin disorders that inflame the skin can also affect your sweat glands. These include psoriasis, exfoliative dermatitis, heat rash, scleroderma, and ichthyosis. Some people inherit a damaged gene that causes them to have sweat gland problems or no sweat glands at all.
What Causes Hypohidrosis?
Any condition that causes nerve damage can disrupt the functioning of your sweat glands. This includes:
- Ross syndrome
- diabetes
- alcoholism
- Parkinson's disease
- multiple system atrophy
- amyloidosis
- Sjögren's syndrome
- small cell lung cancer
- Fabry disease
- Horner syndrome
Skin damage from severe burns can permanently damage sweat glands. Other sources of damage include radiation, trauma, infection, and inflammation.
Taking certain medications, particularly those known as anticholinergics, can result in reduced sweating. These medications have side effects that include sore throat, dry mouth, and reduction in perspiration.
Some people may inherit a damaged gene that causes their sweat glands to malfunction. The inherited condition hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia causes people to be born with either very few or no sweat glands.
Note that heat stroke also causes a reduction in sweating.
What Are the Symptoms of Hypohidrosis?
Symptoms of hypohidrosis include:
- scant perspiration, even when other people are perspiring heavily
- dizziness
- muscle cramps or weakness
- flushed appearance
- feeling overly hot
Mild hypohidrosis may go unnoticed unless you engage in vigorous exercise and become overheated because you're not perspiring normally.
How Is Hypohidrosis Diagnosed?
Taking a thorough medical history is important for diagnosing this condition. You should share all symptoms that you've experienced with your physician. This includes breaking out in a red rash or skin flushing when you should be sweating. It's important to tell him or her if you sweat in some parts of your body but not in others.
Your physician may use any of the following tests to confirm a diagnosis of hypohidrosis:
- axon reflex test: Small electrodes are used to stimulate your sweat glands. The volume of sweat produced is measured.
- silastic sweat imprint: measures size distribution of your perspiration
- thermoregulatory sweat test: Your body is coated with a powder that changes color in areas where you sweat. You enter a chamber that causes your body temperature to reach a level at which most people would sweat.
- skin biopsy: Some skin cells and perhaps some sweat glands are removed for examination under a microscope.
How Is Hypohidrosis Treated?
Hypohidrosis that affects only a small part of your body usually won't cause problems and may not require treatment. If an underlying medical condition is causing hypohidrosis, your physician will treat that condition. That may reduce your symptoms.
If medications are causing your hypohidrosis, your physician may recommend trying another medication or reducing your dosage. While this is not always possible, adjusting medications may help to improve sweating.
Can Hypohidrosis Be Prevented?
It may not be possible to prevent hypohidrosis, but you can take steps to avoid serious illnesses related to overheating. Wear loose clothing and don't overdress when it's hot. Stay inside if possible, and take care not to overexert yourself when it's hot.
You can also take steps to cool your body off and avoid overheating. This includes applying water or cool cloths to your skin to simulate sweating. When the water evaporates, you will feel cooler.
If left untreated, hypohidrosis can cause your body to overheat. Overheating requires quick treatment to prevent it from worsening into heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that demands prompt emergency treatment.

This is the opposite of the last cocktail I talked about. Not in terms of taste or success, but it's an unpublished cocktail that we got one night from one of our favorite bartenders at one of our very favorite bars. And it's amazing.
As one friend recently described it, "This is the most complex thing I've ever put in my mouth!" And he was right. This cocktail is a masterpiece of layer and is able to take a hefty amount of Fernet Branca and transform it into an almost mellow ingredient. Truly a remarkable feat.
Archibald's Last Memory*
XX Rittenhouse Rye
XX Fernet Branca
XX Benedictine
XX Maraschino Liqueur
Stir. Flamed orange peel. Orange twist. Double Rocks Glass NO ICE in glass.
The first sip of this cocktail is like being wrapped in an orange scented blanket while being chilled by the minty/herbally Fernet tamed by the sweet Benedictine and Marschino all being supported by the spicy rye. It's like the rye is a load bearing ingredient holding up all the others. I love Fernet and this is one of the best cocktails I've ever had with that ingredient. It's tough to tone down such an aggressive ingredient and still retain the essence of the original ingredient. This is why I love cocktails so much! The whole is significantly greater than the individual parts.
Visit the Flatiron Lounge. They create some fantastic one of a kind cocktails.
*I respect bartenders who hand out unpublished recipes and do not publish proportions but just what's available on the menu card.

The ice bucket challenge has gone viral on social media in the last few weeks. Celebrities, politicians, sports stars and others have taken the challenge to help raise money for the ALS Association.
The ice bucket challenge had actually been making the rounds online for several weeks before it was tied to ALS.
According to the New York Times, "Today Show" host Matt Lauer was one of the first big names to take the challenge on July 15. At the time, he said he would be donating to the Hospice of Palm beach County. He challenged Brian Williams, Martha Stewart and Howard Stern.
In late July, 29-year-old former college baseball player Pete Frates heard about the challenge. He nominated himself to take the challenge and posted "ice water and ALS are a bad mix" on his Facebook page. His video, which shows him bouncing his head to the 1989 hit "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice, went viral and that is when the challenge became associated with ALS.
Frates did the challenge again just last week at Boston Red Sox's Fenway Park. This time he actually had ice dumped on his head.
Other big names that have taken the challenge include Robert Downey Jr., Lady Gaga, Chris Pratt, George Takei, Mark Zuckenberg, Bill Gates, Justin Bieber, Oprah Winfrey, Triple H, Jennifer Lopez, several country stars and race car driver Brian Vickers.
According to the ALS Association, they have received $13.3 million in donations since July 29, compared with $1.7 million during the same period last year. So far, there have been about 260,000 new donations because of the ice bucket challenge.
Several well-known locals are now getting in on the act. Governor Brian Sandoval did the challenge on Aug. 15 and posted the video to his Facebook. He then challenged Sen. Harry Reid, U.S. Senator Dean Heller and Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak.
Sisolak made good on the challenge today. He let some of his coworkers dump buckets of ice water on him. He then challenged Mayor Goodman, District Attorney Steve Wolfson (who happily accepted) and Sheriff Doug Gillespie.
If you have participated in the ice bucket challenge, we would like to see your video. Post the link to your video in the comments below.

Since I myself come from a pretty liberal background (not in the political sense, but in the sense of "broadminded, progressive"), I sometimes forget that the people who have big problems with nudity are not just a few nuts in power positions, it is many, many people around the world. Probably even the majority of mankind, come to think of it. That is frightening, and something we need to change.
And it can be changed, too. It used to be a much, much bigger problem. And so did racism and other kinds of bigotry. We must not forget that even as the world still has problems enough to go around, things are improving all the time. We will arrive yet.
Eolake Stobblehouse
Letter of the week, from William
But some people don't like the idea of me doing it. The good ol' Christian community down here (Gays are bad, guns are nifty!) tried to get the class banned (and later biology... sadly that's not a joke...), one, for bringing up issues like the war, religion, and Tennessee Williams, two, because the teacher is a dirty homo. (Yes, I'm gay, and I really do hear that comment at school board meetings.)
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but respect for Christianity, I myself am a Methodist, but I have little for the community down here. (You have to remember, all Conservative groups are REAL Christians, not those immoral liberal [spitting sound] groups, when I say Christian community, I mean the REAL ones.)
Back on the subject, I remember an incident that occured about a month ago. We were having a debate about beauty, (inspired by DOMAI, but having nothing to do with nudity) and the best answer to the question, "what is beauty?" they could give me was "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". (I didn't know cliches were a recognized language! How about that!) Class was up, and I gave them the homework.
The next time I saw them, we watched a movie about the Renaissence to discuss the artwork as beauty. When we got to a painting of Aphrodite, (in her usual attire) many of the girls gave a gasp and turned their heads. Absentmindedly, I put the movie on pause allowing them full-view of Aphrodite's full-view. Many of them, sitll with their eyes averted, said "fast forward, fast forward!"
"All right... why?"
"That picture! It's gross!"
A pause as I looked at it, realising which picture it was. Still somewhat embarrassed, I got stupid and said the first thing that came to mind: "what? What's so gross?"
Many of the girls were too embarrassed to say, "naked". (and I teach high-school... these girls are 14-15. They've seen more in PG-13 rated movie than they have here!!!)
I laughed and playfully asked why again (I do that a lot in my class). Seeing their discomfort, I fast-forwarded to a picture of a horrific battle scene, complete with blood, gore, and a multitude of limbs apart from their owners. I paused the film and gauged the reactions. No one cared, just wondered why I had stopped the picture.
"Mr. White? Why'd you stop it? It's not time to go yet."
"Why isn't this gross?"
"Nude women are, but dismemberment and war aren't?"
They looked at me aghast. I smiled, played the film, and gave them a different homework assignment that what I had intended. Go do reasearch. Why isn't violence gross, but nudity is?
The next day, we had our debate. Many presented religious views, all of which I shot down fairly quickly (I'm a theology major)
"God says it's not right"
"But the Bible says God created only things that were beautiful. Naked people included."
"It fills you with immoral thoughts"
"Even if it's in non-sexual situations?"
Then up came movies:
"Violence in films isn't real, but nudity is."
"What about paintings? Neither are real, but the girls here think one is grosser than the other."
Those were the best they could do. The liberal kids got a kick out of the fiasco, as did I.
I got a lot out of the debate... including a pink slip. Over that little quandry, I lost my job. I made the state papers, which I have hung over my computer right now. Two days later, I got a call from a local college asking me to teach there. They seemed to like my little tebacle and wanted me to teach there, where I have been for the past month. God love America.
The moral: Why are titties considered more deplorable than guns?

Using them as keeper's on cord's behind the entertainment center to prevent the inevitable tangle of "Spaghetti" of power cord's & A/V wire's. As well as to bundle cord's for storage of extention cord's, CATV cable's, power charger's & USB cable's for phone, tablet, MP3 player, etc. with no problem's. only wish they had a size a little shorter, & one's half as wide. But they do the job so much better then ruber band's or one use zip ties.

|I take it the SDS is harder than the V3/4 stand start? I will check this out next time over there. Also, I remember that hold being not broken in 2003/4 and the problem being about V2 as a Stand start... not sure if it we are talking about the same hold.

The stand start was a right facing blocky hold slightly above head height. photo you guys have is the way it was back in the late 90s
The SDS was maybe V5/6 started on crimps, high left foot, you rock up to shallow pocket with left hand pop to the broken hold in question with right hand, which where the stand start begins.

|You are probably right, but the stand start hold is the one behind the leaves, so it is pretty obscured in this pic. It is a pretty long lock off from a slopey sidepull/gaston to the visible edge up above the leaves now. Used to be a good edge on a blockey thing in my memory.

In 2013, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art adopted a new Strategic Plan with six goals for the future, including the strategy of Envisioning a Cultural District. The plan says, "The Nelson-Atkins is uniquely positioned to build connections among its midtown colleagues with the goal of developing a cultural district."
To begin a larger conversation, the Nelson-Atkins has led the way in considering possibilities and in approaching partners. In 2013, with funding from the Hall Family Foundation and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, an urban design firm conducted a study in Kansas City on enhancing public spaces in neighborhoods and institutional landscapes that surround the museum.
The firm, Weiss/Manfredi, created a set of concepts for the future, with maps and renderings that are meant to engage area leaders and members of the public in conversations. Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi will be back in Kansas City in October as the featured speakers at the Mary Atkins Lecture Series.
The concepts are ideas that represent the beginning of the process of creating a plan for a cultural district, as imagined for the next five, 10, even 20 years. The community will be asked to take part in a structured, inclusive process to consider these concepts and others. The community process is vital to the discussion.
Weiss/Manfredi's concepts are the most recent in a long-standing conversation. Many ideas and options have been considered in years past. In the 1940s and '50s, a Kansas City Cultural District in the same area was planned for the future, and the partnerships looked quite similar to those of today. A 1962 booklet summarized the existing Cultural Center as "a parklike area in which great institutions devoted to the pursuit of science, art, music and education flourish side by side."
Past efforts, plans, architectural drawings and sketches form layers of momentum for the area, including a 1994 plan by Dan Kiley, and a concept map from 2004, as shown in the thumbnail images. Each attempted to honor the historical neighborhood nearby while also addressing the needs of an expanding, world-class art museum.
The most recent concepts are part of Kansas City's current focus on the future as an urban area that is centered on arts, education, innovation and entrepreneurship.

You might think that nothing repels the male gaze with the power and mystery of the avian bird flu like a sack dress, but women are the worst enemies. Any time you wear anything within visible distance to a burlap sack, you can expect an immediate downpour of fashion haterade. People still cling to the misconception that it makes you look like a bag of potatoes, but this is a sack of lies. What you should wear to date night and what you should carry a bale of spuds in are the exact same thing.
Here are five reasons you should embrace the sack dress.
1. Stuff that doesn't touch your body is perfect for summer.
The sack dress is the solution to feeling trapped when contact with your own fabric is a proposition more terrifying than being sardined on the subway. Do you really want to be melting your pits off in some butt-skimming bodycon? Stop hugging your curves every day, it's co-dependent. Summer's the time you can throw something breathable and floaty over your head every single day. It's not "Boho." It's common sense. Stop hating and buy yourself this pretty fan for your thighs, because it will give you the will to brave the day instead of being an air-conditioner hermit.
2. You're woman enough.
When a female newspaper critic slammed Marilyn Monroe, calling her cleavage "cheap and vulgar," she said she'd look better in a burlap sack. She wasn't completely wrong because 20th Century Fox seized the news opportunity and took pictures of her in one. The result: she looked like Marilyn Monroe. OK, the potato sack was more form-fitting than the dress I'm defending because she likes tight things. But the lesson is that the woman maketh the clothes, not the other way around. I think most ladies in sack dresses look like comfy hourglasses. It helps you breeze around like a goddamn Christmas ornament angel without delving into painter's tarp territory. Putting one on says your figure doesn't need flattering. Hell, it doesn't even need a) a belt or b) effort. It's doing you so many favors.
3. It doesn't leave as much to the imagination as you think.
There's plenty to see. Find one that doesn't suffocate your fronts and does absolutely nothing at the bottom. You'll look mod and feel cool.
4. But it does leave a little… and that's okay.
Normcore standby Jerry Seinfeld insisted that he wanted a woman's body left to the imagination because it was more interesting that way. Not that we're dressing to please him, but he had a point. We're here for the ventilation-providing backless tank and lacey shorts, but our rights apply equally to covering up when we want to. You're entitled to free your nips at the beach because they're for you and no one else, but you're also free to be comfortable and defy the cliché anti-sack lingo.
5. Fashion's favorite buzz word: versatility.
In the resort collections, sack dresses have invisible tailoring and come in raffia, linen, silk, and khaki. They offer more footwear possibilities than shorts. You can dress them up in heels, sandals or cut-out summer boots. They're ideal for wiping up barbecue with the excess fabric and you'll look like ad campaign when you spin around with a hula hoop. If you were demanding a way to be presentably lazy without wearing a bathing suit cover-up to work, the sack dress is it.
