Oklahoma: Leadership in No-Woman's Land
Created from tracts of Indian land and the panhandle strip once known as "No-Man's Land," Oklahoma has been described as a "state of competing images" that reflect contradictory but defining trends of traditionalism and transition. 1 In gender politics, the conflict between traditionalism and transition also seems apt: Women are more prominent today in state politics than in days past, yet the state's long heritage of social conservatism remains an impediment. In contemporary politics, leadership in the Oklahoma Legislature is "no-woman's land."
In the 1990s, women have run successfully as statewide candidates, but at the state legislative level, progress has been slow. Oklahoma ranks forty-eighth among the states in terms of percentage of women lawmakers. Legislating has been traditionally and historically men's work.
Looking out over the Oklahoma House of Representatives from the visitor's gallery, one is struck by the absence of women. A few female clerks sit on the raised dais where the Speaker grips the gavel. Fresh-faced teenage girls serving as pages wait attentively at the front desk to be called for some errand. But in the 101 seats on the floor of the House only nine women are seen among the suits and cowboy boots. In the House committee rooms in 1997, only six of the twenty-seven committees have more than two women members, and eight committees have no female members. Only two standing committees are chaired by women, and two other women chair the standing subcommittees of the Education Committee. Only three women sit on the forty-member Appropriations and Budget Committee.
The Senate is not very much different. Six of the forty-eight members' desks are occupied by women, and on the nineteen standing committees there

Building Qt projects with Qmake
Building Site
Qt's own build system Qmake is often overlooked for larger projects, but many experienced developers appreciate Qmake support for shadow builds and pre- or post-build dependencies.
Qmake, the build system originally developed by Trolltech for Qt applications, often goes unnoticed. Many developers are happy to use the combination of Qmake and the Qt library for small- to medium-sized projects. But as the projects grow, many Qt developers suddenly switch to the Qmake alternative Cmake, which originated as the build system for ITK (the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit).
The reason most often heard for neglecting Qmake is that it is simply unsuitable for many tasks. In the KDE project, for example, Cmake is the tool of choice for compiling large amounts of source code. (Other build systems, such as Autotools, Ant, and the like play a very small role in Qt development because of the increased integration overhead.) As this article shows, however, Qmake can do so much more than most developers realize.

Bill Clinton isn't often wrong when it comes to politics, but his assertion in his 1996 State of the Union Address that "the era of big government is over" was a bit premature. In light of President Obama's Second Inaugural Address, the era of big government has just begun.
The reliably liberal columnist Dana Milbank of The Washington Post exhibited refreshing honesty when he wrote of Obama's speech, "...it failed to rise to the moment."
The president's address was more campaign rhetoric than visionary. He even lowered himself to reference Mitt Romney's inelegant remark about "takers" versus makers. Obama's comment was petty and beneath the grandeur of the moment.
There were many inconsistencies. The president quoted the Declaration of Independence, which reads all are "...created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life..." Apparently the president, who supports abortion, doesn't believe those rights extend to the unborn, not even those in the third trimester of life.
He declared again the false choice between caring for the elderly and needy and making necessary reforms in entitlement programs, but then it's not his money he's borrowing and spending, it's ours, or China's.
He spoke of America as being "one," but delivered little more than divisive rhetoric, pushing instead the left's extreme agenda on "green jobs," asserting that "global warming" is settled science, which it is not .
In response to his elevation of same-sex marriage as a civil right, Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, a nonprofit political organization working against same-sex marriage legalization, said, "Gay and lesbian people are already treated equally under the law. They have the same civil rights as anyone else; they have the right to live as they wish and love whom they choose. What they don't have is the right to redefine marriage for all of society. In fact, six federal courts have rejected the idea that there is a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court in a summary decision in 1972. Furthermore, that vast majority of states have codified the commonsense view held for thousands of years that marriage is the union of a man and a woman. The president is profoundly wrong to imply that those who have acted to protect marriage have denied anyone's rights by doing so."
The Supreme Court will soon decide.

Steven here…
So this Pew poll has been making the rounds lately. The takeaway message people are getting is that atheism is on the rise. Well, yes, atheism is on the rise. But this study doesn't really show that. What it deals with are the "nones"–people who do not identify with a religion. I'm not saying that this news isn't good, but it says more about the failure of religious organizations than it does about our movement's success. Of this unaffiliated group, 37% identify as "spiritual, but not religious." What does that mean? When I hear someone identify as such, my gut reaction is that this person will be nicer than your standard fundamentalist Christian, but I tend to be suspicious about their perception of reality.
The reason why is because spiritual is poorly defined. This allows it to be a catch-all term for new agey metaphysics, belief in "only the new testament," a fuzzy deification of the universe, The Secret, various forms of neopaganism, and a way to portray a sense of balance between the dogmas of Christianity and reality.
In the early 2000s, I thought that while there wasn't a god, there probably was something to spirituality. This problem of definition was apparent even then, but I thought I could come up with a better definition. After careful thought, I decided that the definition for spiritual should be "A feeling of awe connected to something larger than oneself." There aren't any gods or demons, but I certainly felt…compelled when I saw pictures from the Hubble Telescope, or contemplated the full scale of evolution or my place in the universe. These thoughts humbled me and filled me with emotion. If anything was "spiritual," it had to be what we've discovered through science.
Looking back however, I see I was mistaken. My definition of spirituality was just as meaningless as Sylvia Browne's. A word doesn't really have meaning unless a plurality of people can agree on the definition. I could say that "chair" means "a large species of monitor lizard which resides on Komodo Island near Indonesia." But if I do that, I shouldn't then expect people to know what I mean when I describe being terrified of being eaten by chairs.
Just as the religious are obligated to provide evidence of the supernatural, the spiritual are obligated to define their term better. So if you absolutely must use this term, define it before jumping in with the assumption that people know what you are talking about. And if you would be so kind, provide good reasons for why you believe such a thing.
Unlike my unique definition of chair, spirituality is given a great amount of respect and reverence. I've had Christians admonish me and my atheist peers because while we have read the Bible, we don't read it "spiritually." When I then ask for a definition of spiritual, I am told that I must read the book with faith. So the only conclusion I can arrive at is that we have to read our ancient holy books as though we already believe them, or we're doing it wrong. I've not yet met a Christian interested in reading the Bhagavad Gita spiritually using that definition.
All we can really determine about the term "spiritual" is that it either means the same thing as religion, or it is defined as what it is not–dogmatic, mean religion. Who knows, maybe they just don't like the baggage that comes with the word "Christian." It means something different to everyone who uses the term, so if someone insists on using it, have them to define it. Hold their feet to the fire and you'll soon learn that either spiritual is indistinguishable from religious or it is even more meaningless than religion. And something more vapid than religion is quite hard to imagine.
The fiercest objections I received regarding this were from other atheists who had come up with their own versions of "spiritual." We can find many palatable definitions that match reality, and could be labeled as atheist spirituality. That said, every definition I've run across could be better served with a different adjective. The alternate definition of my own making could be replaced with awe or wonder and would make more sense. Additionally love, compassion, understanding and reverence have all been offered up as possible defining traits of "spiritual." And I have to wonder, why didn't' they just use that word instead of spiritual?
This isn't to say that the word can't someday be redefined or appropriated to have some useful meaning. Let me know when that happens.
I write a lot of jokes. Some of them are in this book.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is seeking public comments on a proposed raise of Shasta Dam and expansion of its reservoir that would flood segments of the McCloud and upper Sacramento Rivers. The agency has released for public review and comment the Shasta Lake Water Resources Investigation (SLWRI) Draft Feasibility Report (DFR) and Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The public has until Monday, January 28, 2013 to submit comments via email or in writing.
The Bureau is examining up to an 18.5 foot raise of Shasta Dam that would periodically flood nearly 1.5 miles of the McCloud and upper Sacramento Rivers. Both streams were identified by the Forest Service as potential National Wild & Scenic Rivers and the McCloud is protected under state law from dams and reservoirs. At stake are the rivers' nationally significant wild trout fisheries, as well as outstandingly remarkable scenic, geological, and Native American cultural values (particularly for the McCloud).
In addition, the project will drown thousands of acres of National Forest land managed for recreation and wildlife, and permanently destroy habitat for dozens of protected wildlife and plant species. The project will also modify flows downstream in the lower Sacramento River, with potentially significant impacts on the river's riparian ecosystem and its wildlife. The project will also further reduce fresh water flows into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, increasing the mortality of the Delta's native but endangered fish.
Your email is needed TODAY to convince the Bureau that this project should be eliminated from any further consideration.
Scroll down to send your comment email to the Bureau of Reclamation by Jan. 28, 2013!

Re: Comments in response to the SLWRI Draft Feasibility Report and DEIS
Dear [Decision Maker],
Thank you for soliciting public comments in response to the Shasta Lake Water Resources Investigation (SLWRI) Draft Feasibility Report and Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DFR/DEIS).I strongly oppose Alternatives 2-5 that propose to raise Shasta Dam and expand what is already the largest reservoir in California. This costly project will not significantly increase our water supply reliability. The largest raise considered will increase the state's overall water supply by less than .3%. The Bureau's own draft feasibility report admits "significant uncertainties" associated with hydrology, climate change, water supply reliability and water demand.Given that the existing Shasta Dam and Reservoir in the last 40 years has been primarily operated to benefit federal water contractors and not the environment or the general public, it is outrageous for the Bureau to claim that 61% of the benefits of this more than billion dollar project will go to the environment and will be charged to the public.The significant and unavoidable impacts of this project identified by the Bureau are simply unacceptable. These include harming the Native American cultural heritage of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, flooding of McCloud River and upper Sacramento River segments eligible for National Wild & Scenic River protection, violating state law protecting the McCloud River, drowning of thousands of acres of National Forest land (including three supposedly protected roadless areas) that provide important recreation and wildlife benefits, and the permanent loss of habitat for numerous protected wildlife species.
Another potential impact is the modification of downstream flows and harm to the riparian ecosystem of the lower Sacramento River. The Adaptive Management Plan proposed to mitigate this impact fails to guarantee that the river ecosystem will have priority for fresh water flows over deliveries to water contractors. Similarly, the dam raise/reservoir expansion will reduce fresh water flows into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, causing harm to the Delta's endangered fish. I urge the Bureau to reject this budget busting and culturally and environmentally destructive project once and for all.Thank you.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

When President Bush appointed former Secretary of State James Baker III as his envoy on Iraq's debt on December 5, 2003, he called Baker's job "a noble mission." At the time, there was widespread concern about whether Baker's extensive business dealings in the Middle East would compromise that mission, which is to meet with heads of state and persuade them to forgive the debts owed to them by Iraq. Of particular concern was his relationship with merchant bank and defense contractor the Carlyle Group, where Baker is senior counselor and an equity partner with an estimated $180 million stake.
Until now, there has been no concrete evidence that Baker's loyalties are split, or that his power as Special Presidential Envoy–an unpaid position–has been used to benefit any of his corporate clients or employers. But according to documents obtained by The Nation, that is precisely what has happened. Carlyle has sought to secure an extraordinary $1 billion investment from the Kuwaiti government, with Baker's influence as debt envoy being used as a crucial lever.
The secret deal involves a complex transaction to transfer ownership of as much as $57 billion in unpaid Iraqi debts. The debts, now owed to the government of Kuwait, would be assigned to a foundation created and controlled by a consortium in which the key players are the Carlyle Group, the Albright Group (headed by another former Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright) and several other well-connected firms. Under the deal, the government of Kuwait would also give the consortium $2 billion up front to invest in a private equity fund devised by the consortium, with half of it going to Carlyle.
The Nation has obtained a copy of the confidential sixty-five-page "Proposal to Assist the Government of Kuwait in Protecting and Realizing Claims Against Iraq," sent in January from the consortium to Kuwait's foreign ministry, as well as letters back and forth between the two parties. In a letter dated August 6, 2004, the consortium informed Kuwait's foreign ministry that the country's unpaid debts from Iraq "are in imminent jeopardy." World opinion is turning in favor of debt forgiveness, another letter warned, as evidenced by "President Bush's appointment…of former Secretary of State James Baker as his envoy to negotiate Iraqi debt relief." The consortium's proposal spells out the threat: Not only is Kuwait unlikely to see any of its $30 billion from Iraq in sovereign debt, but the $27 billion in war reparations that Iraq owes to Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion "may well be a casualty of this U.S. [debt relief] effort."
In the face of this threat, the consortium offers its services. Its roster of former high-level US and European politicians have "personal rapport with the stakeholders in the anticipated negotiations" and are able to "reach key decision-makers in the United Nations and in key capitals," the proposal states. If Kuwait agrees to transfer the debts to the consortium's foundation, the consortium will use these personal connections to persuade world leaders that Iraq must "maximize" its debt payments to Kuwait, which would be able to collect the money after ten to fifteen years. And the more the consortium gets Iraq to pay during that period, the more Kuwait collects, with the consortium taking a 5 percent commission or more.
The goal of maximizing Iraq's debt payments directly contradicts the US foreign policy aim of drastically reducing Iraq's debt burden. According to Kathleen Clark, a law professor at Washington University and a leading expert on government ethics and regulations, this means that Baker is in a "classic conflict of interest. Baker is on two sides of this transaction: He is supposed to be representing the interests of the United States, but he is also a senior counselor at Carlyle, and Carlyle wants to get paid to help Kuwait recover its debts from Iraq." After examining the documents, Clark called them "extraordinary." She said, "Carlyle and the other companies are exploiting Baker's current position to try to land a deal with Kuwait that would undermine the interests of the US government."

Bought this from CarTFT.com last week but I've decided Im not going to kickstart my CarPC install until I actually get my amps + sub fitted, so it would probably only end up lying around for a few months. Right now the money could be better spent
I can send this back to CarTFT as part of the 2 week grace period, but shipping it back to Germany would probably cost me more than selling it on here (I guess?)
For the uninitiated this is currently the most powerful and least power-hungry VIA EPIA in the range, having only just been released in March 2006.
The full specs can be seen here (EN15000 model):
The motherboard is still in its box and hasn't even been removed from the sealed anti-static wrapper. The manual + all CDs are included, as well as my receipt if needed for the warranty. I am a newbie on this board but my Ebay feedback can be viewed here
Price: £155 inc delivery in UK.
(PS: Please bear in mind that this is brand new, as you would receive it if you bought it from a shop - so silly offers please)

They were the nice guys after losses to Puerto Rico and Lithuania, smiling although the crowd and refs and press and seemingly everyone back in America wanting to see them return to the States without a medal and as a walking billboard for everything ...

Who's in favour of adding Sammy Watkins?
Attachment 4251
I'd want him but only if we trade down. People seem to think that the Rams need a big, physical receiver, but I think what the rams need is someone who could get open and make plays with the ball in their hands. Scout's say that Sammy is a more polished, quicker version of Cordarelle Patterson, and he played pretty well last year for the Vikings. The difference of course is that Minny drafted him at 29, not with the 2nd pick.
I'm not opposed to it, I'd feel better about the Rams taking him if they moved down into the 6-10 range. I don't think I could justify staying @ 2 and taking him above some of the other likely available prospects.
He's the No. 3 player on my current board (behind Matthews and Robinson), so that, of course, means that he would not be my first choice for pick #2.
If the Rams trade down a few spots, as Nick said, I think he'd be a very good option.
Sammy Watkins is the type of guy I would only draft if he was BPA when our selection comes
At the moment I voted "no" but i would say yes if the situation nick presented were to happen where we are drafting in the late top 10
if thats the #1WR they take Im all in.
Yes-- he doesnt have the height that a few others do.
Im not sure what his real 40 will be-- we find out soon; but the 3"-4" he gives up it looks like he makes up for with
the desire to compete
the desire and pride to actually play well
and sheer tenacity.
Im also thinking this guy is the 20+rep 225 guy too.
Our GSoT didnt have basketball players at WR-- and even in todays game that crew would still mess up defenses.
And lastly, many analysts feel that to beat the 'new wave' secondaries that Seattle touts, you need fast and quick blazers.
Have you all seen the 40 times for Seattles DBs? Sherman is high 4.5s/4.6 to give us all an example.
I can envision a draft where we take WR at 2 and the BPA for OL at 13.
The inherent difficulty with taking OL at 2, will be that at 13... will Watkins or Evans be there? When the Rams pick again in RD2, with a pass happy NFL-- will
Benjamin, the 'other' Matthews (will they mimic the WV tandem and have 2 WR teamates on the same team?-- lol WTH lots of top players with the same last name?), or the Penn St Robinson be there?
Rutgers' Coleman could be a sleeper,and Fisher went the once for this which sort of worked out.
But would the Rams be happy with Coleman when we could have had
and still get a great OT to boot?
All I can say is this-- the Rams WR time is due. They have gone the route of Detroit with all the misses.
Its time that they strike blue and gold on a real #1WR (lets not mention Tavon-- as he isnt a #1WR)
Since the poll doesn't say when... just if.... I voted yes.
If Rams snag a WR in round 1, I like both Watkins and Marquise Lee.
If he is BPA at whatever pick

Flannel Friday
Brandi Klassen of Marshfield holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets "Doc" between wagon rides in downtown Montpelier during Flannel Friday festivities in the Capital City.
The day after Thanksgiving is the traditional start to the holiday shopping season and a day many spend at the mall or big-box stores. In an effort to persuade shoppers to spend their money closer to home, merchants in downtown Montpelier have developed a local alternative to Black Friday and dubbed it Flannel Friday. Shoppers wearing the classic Vermont attire were treated to sale prices and specials at many stores. Above, Brandi Klassen, of Marshfield, holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets Doc between free wagon rides. Left, employees and customers, many clad in flannel, watch as Myra O'Neill, of Somerville, Mass., spins the Wheel of Deals at Onion River Sports. Below, Skip, the Vermont Mountaineers' mascot, sports his flannel shirt while crossing the street Friday in Montpelier. Barre merchants get into the act today with a downtown open house and a full day of festivities and shopping.MORE IN Central Vermont

Hey, I'm Vivek!
Hey! I'm Vivek from NYC, and I'm excited to start being more active on the AirBnB community. A little blurb about me: I'm a medical student by day, and--free time pending--a indian classical/fusion violinist by night. Travel is an important part of my life, and I've been fortunate to make some extraordinary acquaintances with other travelers over the years--sometimes in the most humble of settings. I hope to continue to do the same. I like to travel simply where possible: new experiences and making connections with others are much more important to me than luxuries.
Other things you'll want to know about me as a prospective guest at your place: I'm extremely (possibly too) neat and will be respectful with the home/living space you've entrusted me with.

Hi! I am new to the group! I am scheduled to have my mirena removed 7/13! Can't wait I have had more than enough problems- hair loss, mood swings like no other, skin changes, weight gain, major craving for sweets, abdominal pain, back pain, breast tenderness, no period, Ā(I could keep going!!) I had it inserted August 2009, after having my June Bug. And at loved it at first then about 6mos in started to HATE it! But I thought I would give it time, then I kept stumbling over these websites etc. about problems with this dang thing and it got me thinking maybe Mirena is not all it's cracked up to be!Ā
Recently I have been doing my "research" about what to expect with removal- and I keep reading about this "Mirena crash" now I am freaked out I am going to be a lunatic for the next few weeks. I cannot wait to get this thing out- but now I am worried. Tell me what can I expect?Ā

Stunning and strange. Like a dream you want to last forever.—Roberta Silman , The New York Times Book Review
The Rings of Saturn — with its curious archive of photographs — records a walking tour of the eastern coast of England. A few of the things which cross the path and mind of its narrator (who both is and is not Sebald) are lonely eccentrics, Sir Thomas Browne's skull, a matchstick model of the Temple of Jerusalem, recession-hit seaside towns, wooded hills, Joseph Conrad, Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson," the natural history of the herring, the massive bombings of WWII, the dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, and the silk industry in Norwich. W.G. Sebald's The Emigrants (New Directions, 1996) was hailed by Susan Sontag as an "astonishing masterpiece perfect while being unlike any book one has ever read." It was "one of the great books of the last few years," noted Michael Ondaatje, who now acclaims The Rings of Saturn "an even more inventive work than its predecessor, The Emigrants."

Grammar schools are the escape route for poor children. No party supports them
It's going to be the war of the schools. On the centre-Right, we have Dave and Nick, Eton- and Westminster-educated men who ooze the self-confidence found only in those who have had to overcome humiliations such as wearing tail coats as boys (Eton) or trying to grab the biggest bit of a pancake during the Grease race (Westminster). On the Left we have the Miliband brothers, who give sibling rivalry a fratricidal twist as they run against one another to lead the Labour Party. David (somehow he could never be a Dave) and Ed went to Haverstock Comp.
The Milibands obviously sound like they have the edge in terms of right-on credentials. The percentage of public school educated Cabinet ministers in the new coalition has earned huge and negative coverage: how can these politicos accurately reflect their electorate when seven per cent of Britons send their children to public chool whereas 64 per cent of the coalition team are public school educated? The revelation has prompted a whole roster of pundits to tell us about their own privileged schooling (which is why we now know that Dominic Lawson went to Eton for a miserable trial, then Westminster, Giles Coren went to Westminster, as did Tom Utley and Harry Mount, and so on ad nauseam). Compared to Eton (about £29,000) and Westminster (about £21,000), Haverstock Comp (free) sounds like an ordinary comprehensive.
Until, that is, you take on board its catchment area. The school is in Chalk Farm, but it takes pupils from plush Primrose Hill and leafy Belsize Park. This is where North London intellectuals live, surrounded by books written by their mates. A three-bedroom maisonette in Primrose Hill costs more than a £1.5 million and a modest three bedroom flat in Belsize Park will set you back £1,075,000. Why? Because the local school is Haverstock Comp, which is a great state school. In chicken-and-egg mode, this has sent house prices rocketing, and ensured that although the Milibands' alma mater is proudly non-selective (at least when it comes to its students' merit) wealthy parents can select this school for their progeny.
We've just had 13 years of a party that put equality high on its agenda, but the Sutton Trust's latest report shows that children's levels of achievement are more closely linked to their parents' social status in this country than in many developing countries. This is as true of the Milibands as of the Cameron-Cleggs.
There is one way for children in this country to climb out of the rut they're born into. It's called grammar schools. They allow the brightest children from disadvantaged homes to climb out of their milieu. They provide their students with aspirations and fill them with the self-confidence to fulfill them. But under the Conservatives, and then Labour, these schools have shrunk to 164, catering for only 140,000 students. Labour hates them because they're selective, and therefore divisive; David Miliband, during his tenure as Secretary for Education, embraced the comprehensives as the only way forward. David Cameron, when he was going through his we-must-be-more-like-Polly-Toynbee moment in Opposition, bought this line and turned his back on grammars as well; and the Lib Dems had no plans to resurrect them.
I still remember the joke doing the rounds at the New Statesman about the Milibands and their father. Ralph Miliband argued that the Labour Party would never do anything for the working class; his sons are going to prove it. If Ed supports, and David continues to promote, the comprehensive as the only educational model – which of course they will – then working-class parents will not see the joke. The question is: will Cameron and Clegg prove any better for them? Don't kid yourselves that these exotic-sounding "free schools" are grammar schools: they're comprehensives.

Our daughter has struggled with reading as she has not enjoyed it. These stories are funny and she is able to spell out any words she is unsure of. Anything which gives her confidence in her reading is loved by us.Helen, 11/08/2011
I love these books they are great and fun to read. I agree with everything Mrs Clark has said however I think it is worth noting that if you are familiar with the ORT or Ruth miskins read&write inc then the first level of these start at around level 2/3.I dont feel they are suitable for those just starting out but are great for those at the level. The advantage with them starting at a higher level is that they bridge the gap better between graded reading and first chapter books. The books are wonderfully written and engaging. Zoe, 19/07/2011
Excellent set of books which I use as a foundation for home tuition in reading. Each book is colour coded. The 5 colours represent a graded approach to phonic learning. The sounds practised in the rhymes and stories are listed on the back of the book. Inside the book, there is a list of words which will occur. These are phonically linked.eg a-e, ay, ai. The stories are fun and amuse childen, and they have coloured illustrations. There are also phonic practice lists in each book for work on distinguishing sounds as a separate exercise. Ruth Miskin is a highly acclaimed teacher and author of books concerning literacy. There are other materials similarly graded which support this phonic series wirh exercises, word building taks and spellings. I rate them the most structured series available.Mrs C A Clark, 06/11/2010
Got them for my 5 year old daughter for Christmas and she loves them. They are helping her with sounding out the words and giving her confidence with her reading. Excellent value for money.Julie, 19/01/2010
These are fantastic books suitable for all children learning to read (reception - year 2). There is a lot of reading in the hardest books and they have really helped my daughter to reinforce the phonics sounds, particular the harder vowel sounds. Everyone should buy these books!Eve Sacks, 25/11/2009

Development of Biotechnology to Sustain the Production of Environmentally Friendly Transportation Fuel Ethanol from Cellulosic BiomassEPA Grant Number: R826118
Title: Development of Biotechnology to Sustain the Production of Environmentally Friendly Transportation Fuel Ethanol from Cellulosic Biomass
Investigators: Ho, Nancy W. Y.
Institution: Purdue University - Main Campus
Current Institution: Purdue University
EPA Project Officer: Richards, April
Project Period: November 1, 1997 through October 31, 2000
Project Amount: $359,877
RFA: Technology for a Sustainable Environment (1997) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Sustainability , Pollution Prevention/Sustainable Development
Description:After more than ten years of dedicated research effort, we achieved a historical breakthrough in the Fall of 1993 as the first and only research group in the world to overcome the enormous obstacles and succeeded in the development of genetically engineered Saccharomyces yeasts that can effectively ferment both major sugar molecules (glucose and xylose) present in cellulosic biomass to ethanol. As our industry colleagues commented, "these yeasts have brought biomass-to-ethanol technology closer to commercialization than ever before." The objective of the proposed research is to continue to improve our genetically engineered yeasts, making them more efficient in the conversion of biomass sugars to ethanol and making them capable of producing high-valued by-products such as industrial enzymes. Our goal is to make the cost for the production of ethanol from domestically supplied renewable cellulosic feedstocks not only competitive with the cost of gasoline sold at the pump but even much cheaper. This will sustain ethanol, the environmentally friendly transportation fuel, to be used all over the United States now and forever. Approach:
Recombinant DNA and gene cloning techniques will be used to further improve our genetically engineered glucose-xylose-fermenting Saccharomyces yeasts to be more effective in converting cellulosic biomass sugars to ethanol as well as capable of producing high-valued industrial enzymes as by-products coupled with ethanol production. Expected Results:
We are confident in that, as the result of our proposed research, our engineered yeasts will be further improved to become more effective in the conversion of cellulosic biomass sugars to ethanol, and will be equipped with new genes that will render the capability to produce high-valued industrial enzymes in conjunction with the production of ethanol.

By Harney & Sons6 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jan 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.49 lbs (0.22 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
It's a tea I would drink if I need to get some heat back but not for having a great cup of tea... It's nice but it's flavor is not strong.
This product has everything that you would expect in an all natural herbal tea. It has good taste, but not enough taste. The tea smells great when you take the tea bag out of the box and I steeped it for quite awhile so I thought it would have a stronger flavor. It does have Gingko which has health benefits. It is nice that it is a Fair Trade product. I feel that it is too expensive for 20 tea bags. The box that it came in was very crushed too so I paid full price for damaged goods. I prefer the much cheaper Celestial Seasonings herbal tea. Harney and Sons has lots of other products.

I'm looking for powders that give off a lot of flash. Mostly for pistol powders. I know Blue Dot does because when I use it for my 10MM Glock it is really pronounced. But does anyone know of powders that are even better for high muzzle flash?

We adore a great sci-fi thriller that instantly becomes a classic. We get the movies "The Terminator", "Robocop", "Tron", "Logan's Run" and "Blade Runner"; but now we have "In Time". At the start, the film was looking a bit interesting, but the trailer did seem spoiling at some moments, but that doesn't mean I'm not going. "Cast Away's" trailer spoiled the entire movie, but a whole lot of people still saw it, anyway. "In Time" is what I call an instant sci-fi classic and will be well known my many fans in the future, I hope. Because, the film had many things that were done so well, I just wanted to applause... and I did.
Welcome to a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there's a catch: you're genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich "earn" decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day. When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage. Living minute to minute, the duo's love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.
I'll start off on what I really enjoyed in the film: Basically, it was just clever. I really liked how they put a lot of details into the story and how the time-trading works. It's like those "Star Wars" movies or the complicated anime series "Dragonball" for having so much details in the info, rules, relatives, and much more. There was a lot of things that they could do with their "limits" in the world. You've seen the trailer. Just imagine a world with no money, just trading times of your life. It gets complicated. But, I still find it odd that their aging gene switches off at the age of 25 and you instantly get a glowing time limit on your arm. The only problem I have in the story, because I don't see a purpose or why it's happening. But in the situation, it's very clever and well organized. Another thing that I really liked was the concepts on the cars. See, now this is how I see the future in my mind: just a few things added that we can do. I'm glad they didn't go overboard with all the cars hovering and everywhere is chrome. In the film, there is just larger buildings, new car engines, new police lights, faster cars, new gun designs, and of course the "limits". I loved the police cars, because they're all Chargers with police lights located on the grill which is also different. Whoever made these designs deserves a good pat on the back.
The performances in the movie are great. Timberlake is good for a serious role, after all. He's not a perfect actor, but I think he's really good at his stressed and serious moments. And good lord, I'm just now noticing that was Amanda Seyfried who I think is one of the hottest actresses out there! They've done a really good job on her makeup and hair. I seriously did not notice her until now. She was really good in this movie, I really like how she can act terrified or surprised about something which is what she does best on. Everyone else done a great job, but a couple of them were not too good. They were acting as if they were on a stage play, in my perspective.
I also liked the script, it had some great quotes referring to their "limits", thank God they weren't cheesy. One of them were these gangsters to take time, of course, saying "That's a nice watch. May I try it on? I bet it would suit me.". Best line in the movie! The movie had tons of these quotes, but I never get tired of them. Lets get to the VFX: Okay, I think the visual effects in this movie were perfect for a number of things. First of all, the limits on their arm is very realistic looking like they just used invisible ink and flashed the light on there. It looks just like that. I'm also very glad they didn't do a whole bunch of CGI in the movie. Only when necessary they used it. Because, remember that miniature objects and animatronics are the ultimate effects in movies. It was also very realistic at this scene that there was this huge bank of time. It took me time to realize that it wasn't really that big. Oh, and I would like to add something I noticed. I somehow think the inspirations came from Michael Bay's "The Island" for two reasons: the concepts are very similar, and there was this shot of two people rotating 180 degrees, looking up at them.
Andrew Niccol must be a fan of him.
So, if you enjoy a great sci-fi thriller like the movies I've mentioned, you have got to see this movie! I enjoyed, had a couple flaws, but still a great movie. I'm the MovieWiz, thanks for reading.

2011 AAA: .365 AVG, 42 Runs, 16 HR, 63 RBI, 5 SB (200 AB)
Starbonell recently soliloquized upon Anthony Rizzo in his Peabody Award winning MLB Real Talk series, but with the team's plans to call up the First Baseman on Thursday I wanted to go on record with an official projection. So project I will.
The Rizzo is going to transform into the Young Dirty Bizzo when he's promoted from the PCL to Petco on Thursday. The Tuscon Pades home stadium scores a 92 in HR for Left Handed Batters while Petco Park scores an atrocious 59 [Stat Corner]. The PCL is a hitter friendly league, the NL West is not. I think most people understand the video game numbers Rizzo has posted in AAA (.365/.444/.715) are not going to transfer to the majors. In 2010 Rizzo hit 20 HR in 400 double-A At Bats with Portland. The Seadogs home ballpark scores a 97 for LHB so he's accustomed to hitter friendly fields. Petco will be a rude awakening for the highly touted prospect. In fifteen weeks with San Diego, Rizzo could hit as few as 12 HR or as many as 18 HR. Another wild card is his BABIP. His current .413 average of balls in play is ridonkulous. He did post a .360 BABIP in high-A ball (2008), but that came with a 30% LD%. He's more of a 17%-18% LD% hitter so we could see his BABIP fall down to the .300 range in San Diego. What I see with Rizzo is a Fly Ball hitter who has plus power, a good eye at the plate (11% BB%) and a little speed. We're going to use a 26% K% (24% in AAA) and a .313 BABIP here. Projection .263 AVG, 16 HR, 3 SB, 54 Runs, 56 RBI (350 AB)

Mayne writes a wonderful novel about all of life's relationships, including son to aging parents, sister to sister, friend to friend, grandfather to grandson and, of course, love between a woman and a man. It's wonderful how she weaves all these different and complex relationships into one story and keeps it moving. This is one novel that will be treasured long after the final page is turned.
Amanda Burns owns a bicycle and skateboard shop in Treasure Island, Fla., and wonders why every year handsome Jerry Simpson rents a tandem bicycle. He always comes in by himself, and she never sees him riding around town. When she discovers that he brings his aging parents to the island every year, and they're the ones using the bike, she's drawn to the quiet man. This summer is different, and Amanda and Jerry grow closer (with a little help from his mother). As their relationship blossoms, they realize that the treasure isn't buried in the soft sandy beaches, it's in each other's hearts. (SUMMERSIDE, Jul., 320 pp., $12.99)

Don't waste your money on this stuff. I have been using Clean & Clear stuff for the last 10 years, and they have some good stuff BUT this scrub is not one of them.
-Does not clear blackheads at all
-Little beads gets stuck in some of my pores (gross) and I can feel little bumps after washing where there were none beforehand.
-Feels harsh
Nothing really, it is cheap but there are so many better scrubs for the same amount (try St. Ives apricot scrub)

I have used this everyday for almost 2 months now and it doesn't do anything to clear my blackheads at all. All it does is make my blackheads appear smaller. I thought that meant if I kept using it, they would eventually disappear but it does nothing. It also has a funny smell to it. I'm just going to have to use it all up.
Overall, this product does not do what it's suppose to do. I would not buy this product again.

I'm actually using the Target dupe of this because I wanted to try it, but the reviews were negative. All this does is make my face feel very smooth. It has not done anything for blackheads or blemishes at all. I will finish the bottle, but I probably won't purchase the Clean & Clear version.

I absolutely love this product. The first time I used it was at a friends house when it first came out. She had really bad acne and wanted to try it. I tried it when I was there one day and I loved it! It made my skin so soft, and it did reduce my blackheads. Her acne cleared up pretty well. Anyways, I have been using it on and off since then. The only reason I went off is to try another product. Nothing has worked at all, and I've tried it all. This product is absolutely wonderful!

Horrible stuff. In my opinion, the only worthwhile product in the Clean & Clear range are the oil control wipes, which work wonders. This scrub dries out the skin, has a nasty texture & makes spots and blackheads even worse than they already are. Definitely avoid if you have dry or sensitive skin.

I used this scrub for about a week now, and haven't had a positive reaction to it. For starters, this scrub has the most unappealing consistency. It's greasy, runny, and rough from the little blue beads used to 'exfoliate' away the blackheads. It didn't make my skin improve, help diminish the appearance of blackheads, or even make my skin smoother through exfoliation. Nope, just left a yuck-feeling film on my face that drove me crazy when I rinsed it away. It even smells off. Definitley not going to continue using.

It doesn't do anything. I used it as a soap to wash my face now, since I don't expect it to anything soap can't do. I have used it for a while now, and so I am used to the smell. It's not a bad smell, I suppose.

The only thing this product did was make me break out. I wasn't the only one in the family to experience that either.
