10 Reasons Why Women Stay in Unhealthy Relationships
May 24, 2008 by Nicholl McGuire
Published in Dating
Before you counsel a woman who is in a bad relationship, consider why she stays. Article provides insight that may help you talk to her.
He has given her every reason not to love him. He has provided every sign both spoken and unspoken that his head is not in the relationship, yet she stays. People around her want to know why? Why bother to stay with a man who just isn't in love with her? She stays for any or all of the following ten reasons. If you would like to know how you can convince her to leave that won't be easy, because she will have to make up in her own mind when she is ready to leave.
- She isn't up for the challenge of starting her life over. Emotionally and physically you have to be ready to leave a relationship and be on your own for some time. Not everyone can face that reality positively, for some women they see being alone as being a failure. "Why can't I keep a man? I am so lonely!" They simply don't know how to be positive about a future without a man. If she has some dream, hobby, talent or some other activity that she would truly like to pursue, that would be a significant motivating factor for her to leave her unhealthy relationship.
- She can't handle the fact that another woman might take her place and get materially what she feels is rightfully hers. A woman who has been in a relationship that has lasted for years may not easily let go of her man when she knows that another woman is waiting on him and everything she may have helped him achieve. Businesses, property, cars, retirement funds and more are huge investments in one's life and a woman who loves material wealth won't walk away from these things easily.
- She doesn't want to leave her children with him and allow someone else to raise them. Children can't be left behind so easily either, so many women will put up with hell and high water to be with their children. The thought of another woman raising their children is absolutely insane for some women and the man knows this so he will continue to treat her anyway he feels (on occasion good, bad or otherwise) since she has no plans to leave.
- The timing to leave isn't right. She may have just recovered from a pregnancy, grieved the death of someone close to her, or some other serious matter has come into her life. Now is not the time for her mentally to handle a break up, a move, possibly a new job, and other life issues. .
- The money isn't right. No one wants to jump from a small fire into a wildfire, so if she doesn't have the money to live, she isn't going anywhere. Some women may not have enough education to even begin to find a job and a place to stay. These women need help, so that they can have enough money to leave their problematic relationship. Sometimes they may not know where to get help, or unfortunate circumstances can keep them from getting help (such as living in a rural area without a car, being turned down for welfare, and having no credit.)
- She stays out of spite. He said mean things to her and she said mean things to him. He asked her to leave and she refuses. Knowing he doesn't love her and will continue to mistreat her, she stays anyway, because if she can't be happy, why should he?
- She hopes that things will get better. Her wishful thinking has kept her bound in the bad relationship. She feels if she could just offer some suggestions, take a class, see a therapist, go to church together, or some other positive action that everything will be okay even though none of her ideas has worked in the past.
- She is convinced by others that she should stay. Optimistic people around her have ignored every negative thing she has said about the relationship and tell her to "keep praying, stay strong, everything will be alright." So she believes their words of encouragement, in spite of using her own common sense, "He doesn't love me and I should go."
- She doesn't want to work. Let's face it, some women admit they are lazy, lack self-esteem, fearful, or have a serious health ailment that keeps them from working. "As long as he is willing to pay for everything, why should I work?" So they take whatever abuses come their way: controlling behavior, manipulation, humiliation, lies, threats, violence, etc.
- She fears what might happen if she leaves. There are those women who are in relationships that they know that if he finds out she is planning to leave him, he will try to kill her and everyone around her who is trying to help. Her fears are legitimate and are never to be taken lightly.
All of the reasons described above may apply to many women. These women don't have the mindset to want to change their circumstances, at least not yet. For anyone to change a negative situation in their life into a positive one, they have to be willing to fight when it's time to fight (this statement doesn't mean put up your fists, although some women unfortunately have to defend themselves.) To fight is to stand up for whatever it is she A woman who is unwilling to fight for what she knows is right for herself and family will stay where she feels comfortable. She will tell herself and others that her situation isn't that bad, he is a good man, he loves her and she loves him, etc. However, you can hear her pain through her voice, see the sadness in her eyes and realize that the life she thought at one time would be a good one has become nothing more than a fairytale.

Edwin McCain, Sam Bush putting on Charleston show
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Singer Edwin McCain and Grammy-winner Sam Bush are putting on a show in a historic venue in Charleston.
The event is happening on Saturday at the Charleston Music Hall, which was built in the mid-1800s as a passenger station of the South Carolina Railroad.
The show is being filmed as the debut episode of a forthcoming television series. Mark Bryan of Hootie & the Blowfish and the Chucktown Music Group says he hopes the concert will raise the historic venue's national profile and also highlight Charleston's music scene overall.

Simple Lie group
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2010)
|Group theory → Lie groups
Lie groups
In group theory, a simple Lie group is a connected non-abelian Lie group G which does not have nontrivial connected normal subgroups.
A simple Lie algebra is a non-abelian Lie algebra whose only ideals are 0 and itself (or equivalently, a Lie algebra of dimension 2 or more, whose only ideals are 0 and itself). A direct sum of simple Lie algebras is called a semisimple Lie algebra.
An equivalent definition of a simple Lie group follows from the Lie correspondence: a connected Lie group is simple if its Lie algebra is simple. An important technical point is that a simple Lie group may contain discrete normal subgroups, hence being a simple Lie group is different from being simple as an abstract group.
Simple Lie groups include many classical Lie groups, which provide a group-theoretic underpinning for spherical geometry, projective geometry and related geometries in the sense of Felix Klein's Erlangen programme. It emerged in the course of classification of simple Lie groups that there exist also several exceptional possibilities not corresponding to any familiar geometry. These exceptional groups account for many special examples and configurations in other branches of mathematics, as well as contemporary theoretical physics.
While the notion of a simple Lie group is satisfying from the axiomatic perspective, in applications of Lie theory, such as the theory of Riemannian symmetric spaces, somewhat more general notions of semisimple and reductive Lie groups proved to be even more useful. In particular, every connected compact Lie group is reductive, and the study of representations of general reductive groups is a major branch of representation theory.
Comments on the definition[edit]
Unfortunately there is no single standard definition of a simple Lie group. The definition given above is sometimes varied in the following ways:
- Connectedness: Usually simple Lie groups are connected by definition. This excludes discrete simple groups (these are zero-dimensional Lie groups that are simple as abstract groups) as well as disconnected orthogonal groups.
- Center: Usually simple Lie groups are allowed to have a discrete center; for example, SL(2, R) has a center of order 2, but is still counted as a simple Lie group. If the center is non-trivial (and not the whole group) then the simple Lie group is not simple as an abstract group. Some authors require that the center of a simple Lie group be finite (or trivial); the universal cover of SL(2, R) is an example of a simple Lie group with infinite center.
- R: Usually the group R of real numbers under addition (and its quotient R/Z) are not counted as simple Lie groups, even though they are connected and have a Lie algebra with no proper non-zero ideals. Occasionally authors define simple Lie groups in such a way that R is simple, though this sometimes seems to be an accident caused by overlooking this case.
- Matrix groups: Some authors restrict themselves to Lie groups that can be represented as groups of finite matrices. The metaplectic group is an example of a simple Lie group that cannot be represented in this way.
- Complex Lie algebras: The definition of a simple Lie algebra is not stable under the extension of scalars. The complexification of a complex simple Lie algebra, such as sl(n, C) is semisimple, but not simple.
The most common definition is the one above: simple Lie groups have to be connected, they are allowed to have non-trivial centers (possibly infinite), they need not be representable by finite matrices, and they must be non-abelian.
Method of classification[edit]
Such groups are classified using the prior classification of the complex simple Lie algebras: for which see the page on root systems. It is shown that a simple Lie group has a simple Lie algebra that will occur on the list given there, once it is complexified (that is, made into a complex vector space rather than a real one). This reduces the classification to two further matters.
Real forms[edit]
The groups SO(p,q,R) and SO(p+q,R), for example, give rise to different real Lie algebras, but having the same Dynkin diagram. In general there may be different real forms of the same complex Lie algebra.
Relationship of simple Lie algebras to groups[edit]
Secondly the Lie algebra only determines uniquely the simply connected (universal) cover G* of the component containing the identity of a Lie group G. It may well happen that G* isn't actually a simple group, for example having a non-trivial center. We have therefore to worry about the global topology, by computing the fundamental group of G (an abelian group: a Lie group is an H-space). This was done by Élie Cartan.
For an example, take the special orthogonal groups in even dimension. With the non-identity matrix −I in the center, these aren't actually simple groups; and having a twofold spin cover, they aren't simply-connected either. They lie 'between' G* and G, in the notation above.
Classification by Dynkin diagram[edit]
According to Dynkin's classification, we have as possibilities these only, where n is the number of nodes:
Infinite series[edit]
A series[edit]
Ar corresponds to the special unitary group, SU(r + 1).
B series[edit]
Br corresponds to the special orthogonal group, SO(2r + 1).
C series[edit]
Cr corresponds to the symplectic group, Sp(2r).
D series[edit]
Dr corresponds to the special orthogonal group, SO(2r), starting with SO(8). The diagram D2 is two isolated nodes, the same as A1 ∪ A1, and this coincidence corresponds to the covering map homomorphism from SU(2) × SU(2) to SO(4) given by quaternion multiplication; see quaternions and spatial rotation. Thus SO(4) is not a simple group. Also, the diagram D3 is the same as A3, corresponding to a covering map homomorphism from SU(4) to SO(6). With D4 there is an 'exotic' symmetry of the diagram, corresponding to so-called triality.
Exceptional cases[edit]
For the so-called exceptional cases see G2, F4, E6, E7, and E8. These cases are deemed 'exceptional' because they do not fall into infinite series of groups of increasing dimension. From the point of view of each group taken separately, there is nothing so unusual about them. These exceptional groups were discovered around 1890 in the classification of the simple Lie algebras, over the complex numbers (Wilhelm Killing, re-done by Élie Cartan). For some time it was a research issue to find concrete ways in which they arise, for example as a symmetry group of a differential system.
See also E7½.
Simply laced groups[edit]
A simply laced group is a Lie group whose Dynkin diagram only contain simple links, and therefore all the nonzero roots of the corresponding Lie algebra have the same length. The A, D and E series groups are all simply laced, but no group of type B, C, F, or G is simply laced.

President Barack Obama became the first sitting president to openly support same-sex marriage on Wednesday.
In an interview with ABC, Obama cleared up any ambiguity about his stance on the issue when he stated clearly that he believes that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry:
I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
Hours after the announcement, dozens of California politicians issued tweets, posts and statements of support in celebration of Obama's historic remark.
"Equality before the law is a pillar of American democracy," said California Governor Jerry Brown in a statement. "I applaud President Obama's support for the right of same-sex couples to marry."
Calling marriage equality "one of the most important civil rights issues of our generation," San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee also released a celebratory statement.
"Today's announcement by President Barack Obama moves our country one step closer to marriage equality," he wrote. "With the president's personal support on the issue of same-sex marriage, we celebrate and recommit ourselves to the fight for all families."
As The Huffington Post reported, the president's statement will have little political impact, as the decision to legalize same-sex marriage will still be in the hands of the states. But the statement makes the growing national support for legalization all the more palpable.
"Still, the symbolism of Obama's remarks is hard to ignore," wrote HuffPost's Sam Stein. "In becoming the first president to publicly support marriage equality, he sets the bar for its political acceptance. He also has the ability to shape public opinion further on the matter."
On Wednesday evening, Obama released an emailed statement to his supporters reaffirming his earlier statements:
I've always believed that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. I was reluctant to use the term marriage because of the very powerful traditions it evokes. And I thought civil union laws that conferred legal rights upon gay and lesbian couples were a solution. […] What I've come to realize is that for loving, same-sex couples, the denial of marriage equality means that, in their eyes and the eyes of their children, they are still considered less than full citizens. […]
So I decided it was time to affirm my personal belief that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.
I respect the beliefs of others, and the right of religious institutions to act in accordance with their own doctrines. But I believe that in the eyes of the law, all Americans should be treated equally. And where states enact same-sex marriage, no federal act should invalidate them.
On Current TV, California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom noted Obama's courage for vocalizing his support for a controversial issue during an election year.
"The first sitting president in the history of this country that used those words, 'I support same-sex marriage' -- a point of real courage," said Newsom. "This is not a politician running for reelection for city council or mayor of a blue city or, for that matter, governor of a blue state. He's running for reelection in a very close election where he's got to pick up these swing states. It was a point of remarkable courage."
Check out a slideshow of the local reactions to Obama's statement below. Then, watch Obama's ABC interview:
" Marriage is about two people who love each other. Glad to hear that Pres Obama thinks so too!" Jackie Speier's Twitter Account
"Thanks President Obama, one giant step forward for civil rights in America" Cleve Jones' Twitter Account.
"Equality before the law is a pillar of American democracy. I applaud President Obama's support for the right os same-sex couples to marry." - Jerry Brown
"A great day in our fight for civil rights - President Obama adds his support for marriage" Pelosi's Twitter Account.
""I am proud and elated that the President of the United States today announced his support for same-sex couples across our nation who wish to recognize and validate their relationships through marriage. This is an historic moment for our country, and I applaud President Obama for standing up for freedom, justice and equality for all people in a time when other elected officials are reluctant to do so. Denying committed same-sex couples the choice to marry has no benefit to our society and only divides communities and hurts loving couples and their families. I am confident the President's support will help build momentum for the international movement to achieve full equality for same-sex couples everywhere."
"A historic day for civil rights and for LGBT Americans. Thank you President Barack Obama for joining the fight for marriage equality" - Dianne Feinstein's Twitter Account
"Nothing a pundit can say can come close to what gay folks and their friends are feeling in their hearts today. Thank you Barack Obama" - Armistead Maupin's Twiiter account.

KUSA - One of Colorado's newest transplants is a flying pig who arrived Friday afternoon at Denver International Airport.
A rescued pot-bellied pig named Irving, from Irving, Texas, is now hoping to call Denver home.
Irving was abandoned and a Texas animal shelter which asked Denver's All Aboard Animal Rescue for help. Less than a day later, the 20-pound pig boarded a plane for a trip to the Mile-High City.
All Aboard Animal Rescue hopes to find Irving a good home at a children's farm education program in northern Colorado.

4th of July in Jackson Hole
Hotel Terra is the place to be to celebrate 4th of July in Jackson Hole and Teton Village! Our central location in the village means you'll be close to all of the mountain-side action. There's a lot going on in Jackson during the Independence Day holiday including fireworks, a parade, live music, a rodeo, and much more. Here are a few of our favorite events during 4th of July in Jackson Hole!
Get revved up fro the holiday weekend on July 3rd in Teton Village with free outdoor music and dancing in the Village Commons with Calle Mambo and an early, world-class firework display post-show at 10 pm. All of which is just steps from Hotel Terra.
Start your 4th of July celebration the same way Jackson locals have since 1977: Pancakes from the Jackson Hole Jaycees! The Jackson Hole Jaycees Pancake Breakfast will be from 7–10:30 AM on Friday, July 4. The hearty portions of eggs, sausage, and pancakes will fuel you for the action-packed day to follow. And, our community benefits from this annual 4th of July tradition in Jackson because all profits from the breakfast go to the Jaycees programming, like the community fireworks show and scholarships for local students. Tickets cost $10 in advance for adults, $6 in advance for kids 5 and older; $12 and $6 if purchased at the event. Children under five are FREE. Head to Center Street in downtown Jackson for 4th of July breakfast made by the Jackson Hole Jaycees.
Don't take off after breakfast because the annual 4th of July Parade at 10:30 AM. The 4th of July Parade's path starts on Snow King Avenue rolls down Broadway and ends on Willow Street. From the sidewalks of downtown Jackson you'll see horses and clowns, locals on roller skates and in classic cars, live music, and more!
The evening's events get underway with live music at 6 PM presented by Grand Teton Music Festival. This festive performance in the heart of Teton Village is the perfect patriotic way to celebrate 4th of July. Enjoy classics like God Bless the U.S.A. and The Glory of the Yankee Navy to get you in a patriotic mood. Remember it is free, but ticketed event.
An annual tradition, the Jackson Hole 4th of July Rodeo starts at 8 PM. Watch the roping, wrangling, and bucking as the summer sun ducks behind the Teton Range.
Then, it's time for fireworks! Stop everything at 10 PM and head outside for a fireworks extravaganza that you won't forget. Two shows will get underway at the stroke of 10—one in Jackson at the base of Snow King Mountain and another in Teton Village at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Hotel Terra is has prime spots to take in the show so make sure you are booked in advance!
4th of July in Jackson Hole is a snapshot of the good old days in a classic western town, and Hotel Terra is the ideal spot to enjoy all of the patriotic festivities.

Air Pollution is Twice as Deadly as Car Accidents
Being outside on a bad air day in Beijing is like smoking a pack of cigarettes, or more. What's the leading cause of death in Beijing now? Lung cancer.
Around the world, a new study says, at least 2.4 million people die every year from air pollution. The number's probably a lot higher now, since the data in the study stopped at 2000, and smog is getting a lot worse. (The number also doesn't include the people who die from indoor air pollution in the developing world, which is about as big).

1958: Canadiens right wing Maurice "Rocket" Richard, who still holds the franchise record with 82 playoff goals, scored the game-winning goal for the Canadiens at 5:45 of overtime to give Montreal a 3-2 win against the Bruins in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in Montreal giving the Canadiens a 3-2 series lead. The Canadiens went back to Boston three nights later to clinch the series and their third of five consecutive Cups with a 5-3 win.
1969: The Blues beat the Kings 3-2 in their second-round series for their sixth-consecutive win in the playoff season. St. Louis would win eight consecutive games before running into the East Division champion Canadiens and being swept in four games in the Stanley Cup Final. The Western Division, which was comprised of six teams that were in just their second season at the time, was won by St. Louis for the first three seasons, but they couldn't muster one win in any game of the three Stanley Cup Finals.
1977: Flyers forward Reggie Leach scored with just 50 seconds left in the first overtime period in Game 4 of their first-round series against the Maple Leafs. After losing the first two games of the series in Philadelphia, things were looking bleak for the Flyers, but they were able to win the next two games in overtime and the two after that giving them a six-game series victory. The Flyers fate was sealed in the next round, however, when they lost the first two games in overtime to the Bruins, who proceeded to sweep the Flyers in four games.
1983: The Oilers beat the Flames, 10-2, in Game 3 of their second-round series against the Flames and score 10 goals in a playoff game for the first time in franchise history. The win gave Edmonton a 3-0 series lead and even though the Flames won the next game, 6-5, Edmonton won the series in five games. After beating Calgary, the Oilers swept Chicago in four games, but were then swept in the first Stanley Cup Final in playoff history in a series Wayne Gretzky would point to as a major learning experience for his young Edmonton team. The next season Edmonton would win the first of five Cups in a seven season span.
1996: The Panthers win their first playoff game in franchise history defeating the Bruins 6-3 in Florida. Florida got two goals from James Sheppard and the game-winning goal from Jason Woolley, which was just his second career playoff goal at the time. Florida, which was the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, made a memorable Cinderella run to the Stanley Cup Final in 1996 defeating the Bruins in five games and both the Flyers and Penguins in seven games, before being swept by the Avalanche in the Final.
1997: Devils goalie Martin Brodeur accomplished a rare feat by scoring an empty-net goal against in New Jersey's 5-2 win against the Canadiens in Game 1 of New Jersey's five-game victory against the Canadiens. The win was also Brodeur's 25th career playoff victory and the first against the team he grew up idolizing as a kid growing up in Quebec. After advancing to the second round New Jersey, which had won the first Cup in franchise history just two years earlier, was eliminated for the second time in four seasons by the Rangers in five games.
2000: The Senators play and win their first home playoff game against their interprovincial rival Maple Leafs in Game 3 of their first-round series. With the win Ottawa cut Toronto's series lead to 2-1 and would tie the series the next game in Ottawa, but Toronto wouldn't lose again winning the series in six games. Toronto, whose leading point-scorer in the playoffs was a 36-year-old Steve Thomas, went on to take the eventual Stanley Cup-champion Devils to six games in the next round.
2002: Canucks center Henrik Sedin, who is generally known as the playmaker between him and his twin-brother Daniel, scored the game-winning goal against Dominik Hasek 13:59 into overtime of Game 1 of their first-round series against the Red Wings. The goal was Henrik's first of his playoff career. After winning that game, the Canucks proceeded to win Game 2 in Detroit to put the heavily favored Red Wings on the ropes, but that was the last game Vancouver would win that playoff season as Detroit rebounded winning the series in six games and went on to win their third Cup in six seasons.
2004: The Avalanche beat the Stars 5-1 in Game 5 of their first-round series with the Stars eliminating Dallas. Colorado featured a high-powered offense of Joe Sakic, Milan Hejduk, Alex Tanguay and a healthy Peter Forsberg, but was unable to get past the Sharks in the second round. Two years later the Avalanche beat the Stars in five games again, but again, didn't get any further than the second round, this time being swept by the Ducks.

At the same time, we continue to promote the awareness and development of a alpaca as a viable domestic textile industry, the benefits of breeding and owning alpaca as an investment, or simply as pets!

We Are Plains People, And Our Music Has Tornadoes
April 26th, 2009
There's little that scares Kansans more than a good tornado. And, truth be told, there's little that excites us more than a good tornado, either. After all, we know it's going to be good for a story.
Here on the plains, it is easy to remember how powerful nature really is. Weather sweeps in from all directions with little to hinder it, and tonight was a night few will forget.
The 300-member Kansas Mennonite Men's Chorus, of which I'm a member, had a concert tonight at 7, and we had a practice starting at 3. We sang in the beautiful old Memorial Hall on the campus of Bethel College.
I need to describe the building a bit for you. It was built in 1938, in the day before auditorium designers decided you need to remove the outdoors. Three sides are full of windows, and it's just a few feet from the front doors into the auditorium itself. There is no air conditioning, so in a very humid day like today, every possible door and window is open. To stand on the stage and look out over the audience, you see light coming in from every direction, extremely bright light when there's lightning.
It's been storming all afternoon. Our rehearsal featured thunderclaps, driving rain that was very audible inside, flickering lights. It was, in all honesty, a bit exciting.
At about 6:35, word came that a tornado warning had been issued for the county. A few minutes later, about 20 minutes before start time, sirens were activated and the decision was made to evacuate to safety in the building's basement and an adjoining building.
I, and a number of college students singing with the choir, wound up as a sort of impromptu ushers, directing people to the best place for safety and helping to get people into space efficiently. It was rather stuffy in those basement hallways, but it was also quite loud due to all the excited visiting going on. The KMMC concerts aren't usually like this.
A few minutes later, word came that the tornado warning was canceled. I went down the steps, yelled out the news, and got a big cheer.
People poured back upstairs. We got started a few minutes late, but nobody quite cared. A group of brass players was going to provide the prelude, but their first trumpet player had to leave at the last minute because his tool shed had blown over. They covered for him well in the concert though.
When I got home later, Terah saw me and said, "I thought they'd cancel the concert because of the tornado." I just had to laugh, and pointed out, "This is Kansas. After a tornado evacuation, it just got everybody more excited for the program!" (Of course, had there been a strike, it would have been a different story.)
And it was a great program. There was excitement in the air. And it was incredibly hot and stuffy on the stage with 300 men. I had sweat running down my face.
The rain and the thunder continued, sometimes improving the program.
About halfway through, we sang Prayer of the Children, written by Kurt Bestor, someone that was terribly saddened by the destruction during the civil war in the Balkans. The lyrics go, in part:
Can you hear the prayer of the children
on bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room?
Empty eyes with no more tears to cry,
turning heavenward to the light.
Cryin' Jesus, help me
to see the morning light of one more day. . .
Can you hear the voice of the children
softly pleading for silence in their shattered world?. . .
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate
blood of the innocent on their hands.
For when darkness clears, I know you're near,
brining peace again.
Can you hear
the prayer of the children?
And when we get to the last phrase, there's a long rest after "Can you hear". We sang it the phrase, and with perfect timing as we paused for the rest, was a loud clap of thunder. And after the last word of the song, total silence. Nobody moved for a few seconds, and then applause rang out.
A couple of years ago, I was in the audience at a concert in the same building. Ominous weather lurked that day too. Before the concert started, the director said something like this, before giving information about evacuation procedures, should they be needed:
"We are plains people. We are privileged to see the awesome power and beauty of the weather and nature up close every day. If we should be a little too privileged today, here's what we'll do…"

Karndean Designflooring
Inspired and inspiring; full of charm and character, our premium Art Select collection brings the natural beauty of wood and stone flooring to life in your home. Through meticulous attention to detail and careful selection of some of the most beautiful natural timbers and stone floors, Art Select includes our most intricate designs and realistic embosses.
My Karndean Designflooring installation is complete. Now what?
Now that your floor is installed, do not wash it for 24 hours. Karndean Designflooring requires very little maintenance, but as durable and hardwearing as it is, your floor can still benefit from regular cleaning and care. For more information, see our Cleaning and Maintenance page.
How soon after installation can the floor be cleaned?
The floor should not be washed for 24 hours after being fitted, after this, we recommend using Karndean's cleaning products for routine maintenance.
Can I use a Steam Mop or Steam Cleaner on Karndean Designflooring?
If using a Steam Cleaner on your Karndean floor, please check your manufacturer's guidelines to ensure it's suitable for use on Karndean. To clean your floors with ease, Karndean manufactures its own cleaning and maintenance system which has been specifically designed to retain the original aesthetics of your floor without causing damage. For more information about how to care for your Karndean floor please download our Floor Care Guide.
Why is it important for me to use Karndean's cleaning and maintenance products?
Some cleaning products contain agents that can damage the floor. To qualify for our product guarantee, we recommend that you use the Karndean Clean.
Where can I buy Karndean cleaning and maintenance products?
Cleaning and maintenance products can be bought through your local retailer.
Can spilt liquids seep through tile edges?
Your floor should have been fitted tightly to ensure spillages cannot seep through tile edges or custom cuts. To avoid slippery surfaces, any spills should be cleaned up straight away.
What floor mat can I use on a Karndean Floor?
Certain types of rubber back mats may stain the floor, and instead mats with a natural latex backing should be used. To be sure you are using the correct mat please seek advice from your supplier. We recommend using a 'Turtle Mat' mat. Visit their website at www.turtlemat.co.uk or call 0845 600 3478 for more information.
How do I remove scratches?
If Karndean Refresh was applied after the floor was laid, light scratches can be removed by simply applying Karndean Remove, wiping off the residue with a mop and rinsing thoroughly with clean water. You can then re-apply Karndean Refresh.
I have small white spots appearing on my floor. What should I do?
White spots are usually as a result of water not being wiped up quickly from your floor – especially in bathrooms. Simply apply Karndean Remove, wipe off the residue with a mop and rinse thoroughly with clean water. You can then apply Karndean Refresh.
How should I protect my Karndean Designflooring against furniture?
By putting felt pads under the feet of your furniture, you can avoid table and chair legs scratching your Karndean floor. These are available in the Karndean Floor Care Kit.
What should I use to clean my Karndean floor?
We advise that you use Karndean Clean to clean your floor, as some cleaning products contain agents that can damage the floor. Take a look at our cleaning and maintenance guide.
How should I clean spillages?
Mop up spillages as soon as possible with the Karndean Clean.
How do I remove black scuff marks from my floor?
Dilute a small amount of Karndean Remove in some water. Use a moistened cloth (or a non-abrasive nylon scouring pad for persistent marks) with the diluted solution.
Will Karndean stain?
Most common stains will not affect a Karndean floor. However there are agents that can stain – such as solvent based liquids. The use of Karndean Refresh will provide some protection against this type of damage.
Have a question that's not covered here?
If you need more information about any aspect of Karndean Designflooring, please contact us on 01386 820 100 or email us with your query and we'll be happy to help.

Crazy Canadian auction prices
The conversion rate is pretty close.
Between the Canadian dollar and ours here in the U.S. Last Thursday (April 14th) it was around 1.0383. Yesterday (April 19th) up to around 1.04. So if you buy a piece of equipment on a Canadian farm auction for $20,000, you're talking roughly $20,800 U.S. dollars.
What else is pretty close these days between the U.S. and Canada? We both have red hot used equipment markets. If you've been following my breadcrumb trail here on Agriculture.com or in Successful Farming or own my own web site blog or Facebook page since last November, you know my take on used equipment values.
Up, up and away.
Well folks, as strong as auction sale prices have been here in the U.S., guess what? They're even hotter up north of the border in Canada. Don't believe me? I'd suggest you make sure you're sitting down before you read further. I'm serious, are you sitting down? No sharp objects nearby in case you fall out of that chair? Ok, feel free to read on.
Auction Price Report: April 14, 2011, farm sale, Kamsack, SK (east-central SK)
- 1998 JD 9400 4WD tractor with 2,089 hours, 1 owner, shedded: $142,500
- 1994 JD 8870 4WD tractor with 1,933 hours, 1 owner, shedded: $90,000
- 1999 JD 9610 combine with 914 head, 1,176 engine hours: $125,000
- JD 610 41' chisel plow, 1 owner: $26,000
- JD 1650 51' chisel plow, 1 owner: $36,000
Those two four-wheel drive JD tractors? Both the highest auction sale prices I've seen on each model since 1998. 13 years is a long time. The JD 610 chisel plow sold for $26,000 ($26,997 U.S.)? That's a mile past the prior high auction sale price I'd ever seen on a 610 ($17,000 back in 2008). And that JD 1650 chisel plow sold for $36,000?
The previous high auction price I'd compiled on a JD 1650 was $20,000, all the way back in 1999. So we're tiptoeing into some uncharted waters here I think. How to accurate value any used farm equipment given these amazing surges in prices being paid? I think the best you can hope to do is stay plugged in.
Now you may have noticed the descriptions "1 owner" and "shedded" I inserted for a few items on this farm auction last Thursday in east-central Saskatchewan. Very key points. It's the same thing I've been seeing here across the U.S. since last July, a growing premium on the very nicest condition used equipment as it comes available on the auction market. The point was born out by another Saskatchewan farm auction last Saturday, April 16th, this one near Craven, SK, a sale by Kramer Auction, LTD.
Are you still safely seated? Just checking. Read on.

110th Aviation Brigade salutes new CSM
November 18, 2010
By Russell Sellers, Army Flier Staff
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- Soldiers of the 110th Aviation Brigade honored the incoming and outgoing command sergeants major Nov. 10.
Command Sgt. Maj. John L. Chandler replaced outgoing Command Sgt. Maj. Antoinette Aila during a change of responsibility ceremony at the U.S. Army Aviation Museum.
Chandler was most recently the command sergeant major of the 159th Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Campbell, Ky.
"The mission (of the 110th Avn. Bde.) will continue in (Chandler's) very capable hands," said Col. Russ Stinger, 110th Avn. Bde. commander. "He has a wealth of experience. The mission keeps growing and there's much to do. With his leadership, we will succeed."
Chandler said he looks forward to working with the Soldiers and everyone at Fort Rucker.
"I submit to all those in attendance that my heart's in it and I'll work as hard as it takes to get the job done," he said. "I'm proud to be standing here today. I'm profoundly humbled."
Aila, who has been with the "Warriors" for three years, next moves into an as-yet unnamed position with the installation headquarters. She has completed all levels of the Noncommissioned Officer Education System and is a graduate of the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy.
"Throughout my time here, her council has been wise and her leadership and advice have made my job possible," said Stinger. "For the last few years, she's spent every waking hour making this brigade, Fort Rucker and its Soldiers successful. There is no finer model of the Army values than (Aila)."
Aila said she has enjoyed her time with the 110th Avn. Bde. and thanked all of its individual battalions here for their service and for helping make her time here memorable.
"I did not know - at the age of 17 - what I was in for, and I couldn't have done it by myself," she said. "Army Aviation is part of the reason for my success. I wish everyone could see the enormous impact all the battalions have here."
The mission of the 110th Avn. Bde. is to provide the Army and allied forces with professionally trained Aviators and non-rated crew members through planning, coordinating and executing formal flight instruction at the undergraduate and graduate level.

Of the four friends who met for dinner fifty years ago in Barbara's and my apartment on West Sixty-Seventh Street during the New York newspaper strike, I am the sole survivor. Though we had no such plan in mind beforehand, it was at that dinner that Elizabeth Hardwick, her husband Robert Lowell, Barbara and I saw all at once the opportunity that would become The New York Review of Books.
So far discussion of the Justice Department's suit against Apple and several major book publishers for conspiring to fix retail prices of e-books has omitted the major issue: the impact of digitization on the book industry generally. The immediate symptoms are Amazon's own pricing strategy—which, unlike Apple's and the publishers', is to sell e-books below cost to achieve market share and perhaps a monopoly—and the federal suit challenging Apple's and the publishers' counterattack. This is more than a conflict between Amazon and publishers. It is a vivid expression of how the logic of a radical new and more efficient technology impels institutional change. Though Amazon's strategy might force publishers to shrink or even abandon their old infrastructure, demand for physical books, printed and bound, will not disappear.
A team of filmmakers planning a documentary on Jane Jacobs asked me recently about the original reviews of The Death and Life of Great American Cities, her famous critique of city planners and their destruction of vital city neighborhoods. I told the filmmakers that writers like Jane are usually attacked by beneficiaries of entrenched institutions and that she was no exception. But I also said that I was pleasantly surprised by the positive response to Jane's book from New York's so-called Upper West Side intellectuals, most of whom had previously supported and hoped to strengthen the moderate social welfare state but were now fiercely opposed to it. Had these proto-neocons misread The Death and Life of Great American Cities as a generalized assault on government as such rather than a critique of a particular case of government excess?

Escape de juveniles de merluza (Merluccius hubbsi) en las redes de arrastre de fondo, mediante la aplicación del dispositivo de selectividad DEJUPA con diferentes distancias entre varillas, utilizando un diseño especial de copo re retencion en la grilla.

This work reports on the inter rod distance in a single sorting grid adapted for the escape of hake juveniles. A good performance of the device was reported due to the DEJUPA trials carried out in April 1997. In may 1998 a new survey with DEJUPA was carrie out with 30 mm, 33 mm, and 40 mm separation distance bars, in order to optimise the escape of the species at first length maturity (35 cm). Selectivity curves with maximum likelihood method were obtained for each inter rod distance being the length at 50. (L50) 29, 32 and 37 respectively. A weighd lineal regression (Feasible General Squares Model) between L50 and inter rod distance was fitted from each L50 estimated variance. An estimation of 37 mm inter rod distance for L50=35 cm total length was obtained by inverse regression. In this opportunity a special design for the retention codend was attached to the outlets of the DEJUPA in order to retain the escape of fishes. With the aim of retaining the whole fish distribution a blinde.....

Design Staff: Does Your Startup Need a Designer Co-Founder?
Enrique Allen is a cool cat. This is also a great post.
In A Software Design Manifesto, Mitch Kapor argues that the most important social evolution within computing professions would be to create a role for the software designer as a champion of user experience. He defines a designer as someone who stands with a foot firmly in two worlds – the world of technology and the world of people and human purposes – and brings the two together. Although over 15 years old, Kapor's argument holds strong to this day. Designers need engineering skills and technical understanding so they can continue to stand with feet in both worlds.
The successful designer founders we've seen are consistently multidisciplinary – they have the full range of skills necessary to make decisions about product design and work with a development team to execute on those decisions. Their skills range from user research, to interaction design, to information architecture, to communication design, to writing. They may not be experts in all areas, but they can "wear all the hats" in the early days of a startup and attract specialists when needed.
Designer founders understand the technology commonly used to build software products and the business methods used to market and evaluate those products. As a designer, design skills are important – but as a founder, technology and business skills are critical to lead not only product design but an entire company.

I used to use L'oreal eye makeup remover with similar concept, and find that one better in performance. But since I moved to the U.S. I cannot find the l'oreal one anymore. Good thing is I found this one. It is cheap and does the job. It does not work perfectly with some waterproof mascaras but deep cleansing oil (DHC, fancl or Shu) for the face after eye makeup remover wipes out any residue on my lashes so it's not a major issue.

love it, cheap and cheerful at AUD$10.99 - put a couple of drops on the pads, hold it over the eye for 30 seconds and off all the muck comes.
its cheap, not irritating and does the job, what more can one ask?

Just picked this up at London Drugs in Vancouver yesterday on sale for $8.79 from $10.99. Took off my fluid line, waterproof mascara, and liner for tight lining right off. I shook it and soaked a cotton pad and pressed it on my eye for a couple seconds and wiped. No irritation or stinging. Practically everything came off. Did another quick wipe to clean up and voila. Lovely.
Yes, it leaves a bit of oily residue and yes it makes my eyes a little blurry. Any bi-phase will do this. For the price, I can't really complain ($10.99 for 162ml compared to Lancome $28 for 125ml). Will buy again.

Raining on the parade here - I tried this eye makeup remover based on reviews here, but I'm not totally satisfied. It does take off my waterproof mascara - eventually. I need to spend several minutes and soak my cotton pad 2-3 times before it's all gone. Maybe I just use heavy duty mascara or something (L'Oreal Voluminous). The main gripe I have so far with this product though, is that it isn't very gentle on my eye area... after two nights of using it, my eyes felt dry and sore, especially at the corners - big thumbs down. Also, everyone keeps saying it's cheap, but I got it for $10.99 CDN which doesn't seem that cheap to me, especially for something I need to use every night that won't last very long. So, I'm still looking for "the one".

HATE this stuff! It feels weird and it doesn't do a great job of taking off my mascara. I now use grapeseed oil as my makeup remover.

As I have super oily lids, and always trying new waterproof makeup, but then when the time to remove it comes choosing the right product is essential, and this ladies, become one of my HG.
My first cleansing step is to remove eye makeup, so shake the bottle and pour it onto a cotton pad and leave it in the eyes while patting it gently where the most of the makeup is (generally the roots of the lashes), you could think at first glance that the "oil-free" label is a lie, but after cleansing the whole face and rinse it throught the sensation will fade away.
Almost forgot to mention that this remover didn't make me feel the blurriness sensation.

I have been using this remover for many years. great product.

This is a great makeup remover, I don't wear eye shadow everyday but I tight line with a heavy duty liner and I always wear waterproof mascara and a heavy duty concealer. This remover gently takes off everything and I find that the oil in the remover really helps to not tug at the sensitive area around the eye. A tip is to lightly dampen the cotton round and then pour remover on it, a moist cotton pad is always gentle on the eyes. I follow this up with cleansing my face with warm water and it doesn't leave any oily residue. I will definitely repurchase this later at some point cause I want to try the Gariner makeup remover next.

does the job at removing waterproof mascara just fine, but it feels oily and leaves an oil film.

I'm so glad MUA led me to this product. The only makeup remover I've enjoyed using was Lancome Bi-facils but I couldn't justify the price tag for makeup remover. This product is great for removing everything with no effort at all.
