What I Learned from Losing $200 Million
It was 2008, after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. Markets were in turmoil. Banks were failing left and right. I worked at a major investment bank, and while I didn't think the disastrous deal I'd done would cause its collapse, my losses were quickly decimating its commodities profits for the year...

That Time I Tried to Buy an Actual Barrel of Crude Oil
Oil may be king of the commodities, but its physical form is tough to come by for a retail investor. Mom and pop can buy gold and silver. They can gather aluminum cans, grow soybeans, and strip copper wiring, if they choose, but oil remains elusive—and for very good reason. Oil, as I would soon discover, is practically useless in its unrefined form. It is also highly toxic, very difficult to store, and smells bad.
Livestreaming Happy Trees
Twitch, the social media platform for video games, just launched 'Twitch Creative': a section of the site dedicated to non-gaming videos from artists. There you'll find people creating paintings or illustrations, composing songs, designing costumes, and even glass blowing. To celebrate, Twitch is holding an 8-day marathon livestream of every single Bob Ross The Joy of Painting episode.
EXTREME! Oil Extraction
Project Oil Sands - "In the late 1950s, Dr. Manley Natland, a passionate, lifelong geologist working for the Richfield Oil Corporation, hatched a gonzo idea to harness the power of a nuclear explosion for the benefit of bitumen extraction in Alberta's oil sands. He proposed a plan to plant an atomic bomb deep below the oil sands, set it off and start pumping the oil freed up by the intense heat of the explosion."

why don't we just terraform the earth?
In the past few years, science has lurched closer to envisioning habitable Mars, though at the moment estimates for creating breathable oxygen range from hundreds to 100,000 years in the future, the soil is currently toxic to astronauts, and travel is so unwieldy that scientists have proposed "printing" humans on Mars. Meanwhile, I wondered why not make Earth's increasingly inhospitable deserts greener.[more inside]

This should be done in a proper laboratory, he thought.
In the past five years, no product has perplexed, mesmerized, and divided the cannabis world quite like the increasingly popular and incredibly potent form of concentrated marijuana known as butane hash oil, or BHO. Demand for the intense high BHO delivers has birthed a massive underground industry, with federal and state governments at a loss for how to regulate it and potheads and entrepreneurs accidentally incinerating themselves trying to make it... But while many stoners take BHO's presence on dispensary shelves as a sign that it is just as safe as weed itself, others find the noxious goop inherently suspicious, and the people who are making, selling, and regulating hash oil admit they know very little about the product.Wax Is Weed's Next Big Thing And No One Knows If It's Safe
"We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents."
In the 80's and 90's, Robert Norman "Bob" Ross gave us The Joy of Painting. In each minimalist, 30-minute show, he would create an imaginary landscape using a wet-on-wet (or alla prima) oil painting technique while gently teaching viewers his methods. His signature, soothing comments described the "happy little clouds," "almighty mountains" and "happy little trees" that he was creating with his brush. Of the 31 seasons and 403 episodes that aired on PBS, the Internet Archive currently has the first 19 seasons (247 episodes) available for stream and download. [more inside]
Inside the Koch Brothers' Toxic Empire
On the day before Danielle Smalley was to leave for college, she and her friend Jason Stone were hanging out in her family's mobile home. Seventeen years old, with long chestnut hair, Danielle began to feel nauseated. "Dad," she said, "we smell gas." It was 3:45 in the afternoon on August 24th, 1996, near Lively, Texas, some 50 miles southeast of Dallas. The Smalleys were too poor to own a telephone. So the teens jumped into her dad's 1964 Chevy pickup to alert the authorities. As they drove away, the truck stalled where the driveway crossed a dry creek bed. Danielle cranked the ignition, and a fireball engulfed the truck. "You see two children burned to death in front of you – you never forget that," Danielle's father, Danny, would later tell reporters.

The slippery slope of shale oil
Oil is getting cheaper. The price of a barrel of Brent crude is approaching $60, down from around $140 in 2008. The price drop is largely attributed to American shale oil, also called tight oil, production of which has increased from a few thousand barrels/day a decade ago to over 5 million barrels/day today, mainly coming from the Bakken, Permian and Eagle Ford shales. By the end of 2013, American tight oil accounted for 4.1% of global crude oil production. The International Energy Agency calls it a "supply shock", and according to the World Energy Council, the notion of "peak oil" has almost been forgotten [PDF, page 24]. While speculation continues over the motives behind OPEC's refusal to curb production, others worry that the drop in oil prices distorts economic and political decision making, discourages the development of renewable energy sources [may require registration], and may induce deflation. The BBC tallies up the winners and losers.
We eat bacon and pastries and are happy. Oh, and the North Pole is ours.

Chanukkah begins tomorrow night and the traditional foods are fried in oil. Latkes (potato pancakes) are established Hanukkah treats but the other treat most common in Israel are doughnuts. Ashkenazi Jews eat sufganiyot, which have their origins in Germany and are traditionally filled with strawberry jam. In North Africa the doughnuts are called sfenj (pronounced shfinz) and generally are traced to Morocco. Sfenj are drizzled with honey or date syrup. [more inside]

'Do I die by starvation, or do I die by poisoning?'
Taking Canadian Highway 63 straight north from Fort McMurray, during the half-lit hours of the morning commute, I moved past the old downtown, with its bars and weekly-rate hotels, past the sprawling suburbs and high-speed ring road, into expanses of peat-rich muskeg and forests of tamarack and spruce. As the sun climbed, cars became scarce and the road seemed to stretch endlessly toward the horizon. Traveling from McMurray to McKay doesn't take long—it's less than 40 miles—but the transformation you see in that short distance is astounding.
Geopolitical duct tape and costly disasters.
...the reality of ISIS and what this group seeks is opaque to the public, and to policymakers not clued into the private salons where the details of secrets can be discussed. Even among those policymakers, the compartmentalized national security establishment means that no one really grasps the whole picture. The attempt to get the US into a war in Syria a year ago was similarly opaque. The public cannot make well-informed decisions about national security choices because information critical to such choices is withheld from them. It is withheld from them at the source, through the classification-censorship process, then by obfuscations in the salons and think tanks of DC and New York, and then finally through the bottleneck of the mass media itself.The Solution to ISIS Is the First Amendment by Matt Stoler [more inside]

Twenty four days to go
The second televised debate between Alex Salmond and Alistair Darling is to be shown across the UK tonight. After a lacklustre first debate, the final days of the referendum campaign are ticking down. There are signs of growing momentum for the Yes side, with undecideds moving to Yes in some polls and the 'Yes Declaration' recently hitting a million signatures. But the Better Together campaign still has some heavy hitters on side, with Sir Ian Wood recently casting doubt on oil extraction figures he had previously agreed with. [more inside]

"We don't understand what happened. Nobody really understands..."
For several months, bitumen from the Athabasca oil sands has been leaching out of the ground near Cold Lake, Alberta, so far amounting to roughly half of the oil leaked in the Enbridge-caused disaster in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Nearby sites of high-pressure steam injection used to extract the bitumen (and which is already associated with violent seismic activity in natural gas fracking operations) are suspected to have caused fractures that push bitumen "sideways" and out to the surface. As Vice reporter Sarah Berman notes, "The oozing leaks will continue until the underground pressure subsides. How long that will take is anybody's guess." While tons of contaminated vegetation and dead animals have been removed from the sites, access to the region and to government data by First Nation representatives has been repeatedly denied.

A runaway train carrying roughly 100,000 liters of crude oil derailed and subsequently exploded in the small Quebec town of Lac-Mégantic in the early hours of Saturday morning. A significant amount of the downtown is burnt or leveled, and as the search for survivors continues, residents are beginning to realize the scope of the destruction [more inside]

2013 Southeast Asian Haze
Forest fires due to slash and burn farming in Sumatra, Indonesia have led to unprecedented air pollution levels in Singapore and Malaysia. In Singapore particularly, Facebook and Twitter are aflame as well. For a country used to very clean air, the sudden pollution has led to public outcry, with air purifiers and face masks being snatched off the shelves. So far, no stop-work-order has been issued, and there are complaints that the government is not tackling the situation rapidly enough. Indonesia is working to put out the fires and is considering cloud seeding; their response to pressure from Singapore to do more was that Singaporeans should stop behaving like children and not disturb their domestic affairs. While image macros about the 2013 haze continue to fill up Facebook feeds, some people are taking the whole affair in a more irreverent way. [more inside]

The Great Oil Fallac(ies)
Does the US have a national interest in securing Middle Eastern oil? Economist John Quiggin thinks not, and argues that oil is a commodity like any other. Other scholars have questioned the conventional wisdom surrounding oil. Timothy Mitchell says that the problem with oil is not its scarcity, but its abundance, and we simply have too much oil. Eugene Gholz & Daryl Press argue that "American national security policy is based on a misunderstanding about U.S. oil interests. Although oil is a vital commodity, potential supply disruptions are less worrisome than scholars, politicians, and pundits presume."
"What If We Never Run Out of Oil?"
Charles C. Mann writes for The Atlantic:
This perspective has a corollary: natural resources cannot be used up. If one deposit gets too expensive to drill, social scientists (most of them economists) say, people will either find cheaper deposits or shift to a different energy source altogether. Because the costliest stuff is left in the ground, there will always be petroleum to mine later. "When will the world's supply of oil be exhausted?" asked the MIT economist Morris Adelman, perhaps the most important exponent of this view. "The best one-word answer: never." Effectively, energy supplies are infinite.[more inside]
What does oil represent? Us. Gamers.
"There's a whole ocean of oil under our feet!"
Daily Telegraph: Why the world isn't running out of oil: "Moreover, as well as bountiful oilfields in North America, Russia, Saudi Arabia and other producers in the Middle East, there are massive, barely tapped reserves in South America, Africa and the Arctic: not billions of barrels' worth, but trillions. So the planet is not about to run out of oil. On the contrary, according to a Harvard University report published last year, we are heading for a glut. The 75-page study, by oil executive Leonardo Maugeri, was based on a field-by-field analysis of most of the major oil exploration and development projects in the world, and it predicted a 20 per cent increase in global oil production by 2020."

A brief history of saturation diving
Today it is an economic and even geopolitical necessity for oil companies, in order to maintain pipelines and offshore rigs, to send divers routinely to depths of a thousand feet, and keep them at that level of compression for as long as a month at a time. The divers who do this work are almost entirely male, and tend to be between the ages of twenty-five and forty. Were they any younger, they would not have enough experience or seniority to perform such demanding tasks. Any older, and their bodies could not be trusted to withstand the trauma. The term for these extended-length descents is "saturation diving," which refers to the fact that the diver's tissues have absorbed the maximum amount of inert gas possible.

Up through Los Angeles came a bubblin' crude: Southern California was the Kuwait of the Jazz Age, turning a religious piano teacher into an oil baroness
"In 1925, California supplied [much] of the world's oil (Google quickview, original PDF) and much of it came from pumps in the Southland (quickview, PDF). To date, around 9 billion barrels of oil have been produced in the Los Angeles area. There are still over 30,000 active wells here pumping around 230 million barrels of oil a year, making Los Angeles County the second most productive oil county in California (although the quality of the oil here is somewhat low by today's standards). There are 55 known oil fields in the Los Angeles area and 11 of them are located in a very urban context. This setting makes the oil extraction process in Los Angeles unique."

"A ruling against the Kiobel plaintiffs would be disastrous"
Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court returned from summer vacation, and among other things, it heard the second oral argument of Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co.. Esther Kiobel and eleven other Nigerian plaintiffs are accusing oil companies of complicity in a brutal crackdown on protesters that included torture and murder; during the first round of arguments, "some of the court's conservative justices signaled a willingness to shield corporations from liability in U.S. courts over allegations that they had aided or acquiesced to foreign governments that abused their own people." Meanwhile, a group called People Against Legalizing Murder has launched MurderisBad.com - which Shell has allegedly blocked from its employees.

There are countless articles that discuss the political cost of Occupy Wall Street, but rarely is the financial cost to the taxpayer mentioned.
A recent article estimated that the total national taxpayer cost of policing and cleanup from last fall's OWS stands at nearly $30 million.
By contrast, Tea Party rallies and similar events leave communities in better shape than when they arrived.
Take, for instance, the Rally for Common Sense being held this upcoming weekend near Jefferson City, Missouri. The gathering will be held on private property-- a local farm that moonlights as the "Patriot Field of Dreams"-- and has been entirely organized by a loose collection of concerned citizens. It is funded through donations and modest ticket sales, so you would think it would be a small gathering with local flair, right?
Wrong. Guest speakers at this event include names like former presidential candidate Herman Cain, Ambassador Alan Keyes, Reverend C. L. Bryant, and yours truly.
The public cost for the Rally? Zero. In fact, it will be an economic windfall for the local area as attendees snap up hotel rooms, pick out restaurants for dinner, gas up before they go home, and maybe even purchase a souvenir or two.
It is said that art imitates life-- but in the case of OWS & the Rally for Common Sense, life imitates policy. When the Occupiers were demanding more from taxpayers, they left a wake of increased public cost. In contrast, those attending the Rally for Common Sense will be demanding less from taxpayers, requiring no public cost for the event, all while boosting the sales of local, private business. In a twist of irony, tax revenues for the Jefferson City area will actually increase due a bunch of people wanting government to spend less.
Which model do you think will best get us out of Obama's recession?
The Left's model is flawed, corrupted, and is being exposed for what it is like never before. Remember when everyone was talking about how doomed Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) was after over 900,000 signatures were collected to prompt a recall election? Walker became the unions' Public Enemy No. 1 after applying a little common sense thing called math to the budgetary crisis in Wisconsin through reforming out-of-control pensions and unwieldy collective-bargaining rules.

Free map of Mostar
Miscellaneous: During our two days in Mostar we also visited the Tourist Information Office to get some free brochures and to ask for info about the local transport to Blagaj.
The girl in charge was very helpful and spoke English very well.
We also picked up a free map of Mostar, as well as a brochure called "Mostar - Come Discover". The latter one not only included a map of the city, but also small photos of the sights with brief descriptions.
The Tourist Information Office can be found at Rade Bitange street 5; just about 200 metres west of the Old Bridge.

Travel Guide
Miscellaneous: Bosnia and Herzegovina is a rapidly developing country, therefore an up to date guide book for independent travellers is highly recommended.
I must admit that it was quite difficult to find any guide books about the country.
As Mostar is a very popular day trip destination from the Croatian cost, it is sometimes even covered in books about Southern Croatia.
In our accomodation in Sarajevo we found the Bradt travel guide - Bosnia and Herzegovina which covers all sorts of information from historical background and descriptions of the sights to practical information about public transportation, accomodation and restaurants.
Also before the trip I read a lot in the German travel guide Trescher - Bosnien und Herzegowina which has very detailed background infos about all sights. Unfortunately, this guide is not available in English.

Mostar is very hot during Summers
Luggage and bags: The city of Mostar is known as one of the hottest place on Balkans, especially if long and dry summer without a rain. At times, the temperature can raise up to 40-45 C degrees, and then the air is rancid while humidity almost unbearable. The biggest problem is that there is no air flow, not even in the river can. Mostar is located in a closed basin and during the hot summer days resembles to a pot in which everything cooks.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Clothing and shoes has to be suitable to such conditions. The most suited shoes are lightweight sandals or loafers. Clothing must also be light, bright in colors and made of natural fibers, preferable cotton. As for cut, can not be close to the body but quite comfortable.
For evening outing it is recommended to wear long pants and shirts with long sleeves, because it will protect you from mosquito bites.
If Going to Mostar's Old Town...
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: wear flat, rubber soled shoes!!! Walking up and down the stone paved hill is tough to do in heels. I saw a group of girls holding each other up trying to get down the hill, and they were only wearing small heels...it's slippery, full of gaps and not evenly paved. Not conducive for heels....trust me!
Through the Embers of Chaos - Dervla Murphy
Miscellaneous: I have read many of Dervla Murphy's books, most of which I have really enjoyed. 'Through the Embers of Chaos' charters Dervla's travels through the fcountries of the former Yugoslavia and Albania in the immediate aftermath of the Balkan conflicts. The engaging and informative read gives an unbias and very human account of the legacy of the war on the people of these countries. Murphy visits towns and cities which made the headlines during the conflict as well as the less documented areas affected by the conflict. My favourite of Dervla Murphy's travel writings so far. An essential read for anybody wishing to learn a little more about the former Yugoslav countries and Albania before travelling there.
Lonely Planet - Eastern Europe
Miscellaneous: I'm a lonely planet fan. I find the lonely planet series of books the most informative and easy to use guide book out there and their Eastern Europe guide is my Bible when travelling around this part of Europe.
The Eastern Europe book doesn't have the detail you would expect from individual country guides but is a handy book to bring with you if visiting several countries in one trip. Although bulky it does mean you won't need to carry anyty other book. I don't rely too much on guide books when actually in a place but I do find them useful to decide on where to go and how to get there.
The BiH section of the Eastern Europe Section gives good background history to the country in general and Mostar and sarajevo in particular. Ir also has advice and tips on Travnik, Jajce, Banja Luka and Bihac as well as the surrounding towns of all of the above.
New Europe - Michael Palin
Miscellaneous: Michael Palin's Book 'New Europe', is an interesting read for anyone visiting any of the contries in Eastern Europe. In the travellogue style book, Palin visits all of the countries of the Ex-Soviet Bloc and the countries of Eastern Europe which were once only the haunts of the most intrepid of travellers. From Estonia to Albania and from the Czech Republic to the Ukraine, Palin delivers an engaging, thoughtful and well constructed account of his travels, with attention to detail and an insught into the culture, history and politics of these countries.
The BiH chapter in Palin's Book covers Sarajevo, Mostar and Medjugorje in detail.
Packing List
Luggage and bags: If you go by coach take a bag that you can also stick your feet on top of to stretch them on a long journey. Also one with plenty of space for souvenirs.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Decent shoes are important. When you are walking around some of paths are steep and especially the paths in the old town are made out of old stone which was a little bit slippery. (I still wore nice sandals but they weren't with ankle breaking heels).
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: When the wind gets up then you find that all the dust from the damaged buildings can get in your eyes. I have contact lenses and after wandering around for several hours I could hardly see anymore. Take something soothing to wash your eyes out with just in case. Failing that - camomile teabags soaked in lukewarm water and laid on your eyes come a close second. (If you don't need them you could always drink tea!)
Photo Equipment: Film for flash and not only sunlight. As you see my pictures turned out a bit dark but I got them on CD as well and with digital pictures you can always play around later!
Miscellaneous: If you are travelling by bus then I would recommend ear plugs (loud Bosnian music was played all night) and a cover for your eyes (lights were on all night too!)Umbrella if you know it will rain although a windproof one is advisable!

Extruder motor gear for Ultimaker
by catohagen, published
0 ShareDownload This Thing!
Thing Info
A little extruder gear for the extruder stepmotor for the Ultimaker.
I liked the design from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40334 but without the herringbone gears, so I duplicated this model but without the herringbone gears. Assembey is pretty straighforward. It have the D shaped hole to press onto the shaft and then you can mount a M3 10mm or so leftover bolt from your ultimaker kit as a set screw(theres a slot for M3 nut on the backside)
printed it 100% fill and mounted.
The M3 nut was difficult to mount into the slot, so I held it with pliers and heated the nut with a small gas heater and pressed it in, melting its way in.

Shane Rylander and Will Hague arrested in DNR mounted deer heist [UPDATE]
Here's a very Minnesotan crime: Heisting deer heads from the Department of Natural Resources.
Police say someone broke into DNR-owned storage facilities earlier this week and left with power tools and some mounted deer heads.
The heads were part of a "Wall of Shame" display of poached deer and other wildlife in Minnesota, and are apparently very valuable.
Police arrested Shane James Rylander, 40, and Will Houston Hague, 47, in relation to the crime yesterday, says Officer John Keating, St. Paul police spokesman. Both men were booked on suspicion of possessing stolen property, though neither has been formally charged.
St. Paul police received a tip yesterday that the stolen items were being held at an address on the 700 block of East Conway Street in St. Paul, says Keating.
"Investigators were watching the address when they saw some items being loaded into the van outside of the address," he says.
Officers pulled the van over when it drove away, and found some of the property reported stolen by the DNR. Rylander and Hague were also in the van, and police brought them into custody, says Keating.
"A short time after that, police executed a search warrant at the address on Conway, and found lots of stuff," he says.
Of the stolen items: mounts from this display meant to raise awareness of deer poaching.
Photo courtesy MN DNR.
Police believe one more person might have been involved in the head-heist as well.
The third suspect is currently in custody elsewhere for an unrelated crime, so has not been booked in relation to this one.
The heads and other stolen items have been returned to the DNR.
Update: After inventorying the returned items, the DNR believes that just about everything is accounted for, says DNR spokesman Harland Hiemstra. On top of the power tools, that's about 20 total mounts of mostly deer heads (though a bear head, turkey tail, and a walleye were also stolen and returned).
Hiemstra couldn't put an exact value on the items recovered.
"We're talking definitely in the thousands, maybe tens of thousands of dollars," he says.

I have some older spd pedals on a road bike and I picked up 2 pairs of shoes from craigslist. The shoes I have been using are Shimano MO75 (M075?). They seem to fit great, but even after a short ride the outside edge of my foot gets sore or crampy. I have been walking around in the shoes this afternoon, and I haven't had any pain from that, but for some reason when I'm clipped in and pedaling I get the discomfort after only a short ride. I haven't done anything longer than a few miles because I would like to get comfortable first. Right now, the cleats are positioned just about centered in the openings.
Do I just need to ride a bit more and get comfortable with them?
Is there something wrong with the pedal or shoe?
Do I need to move the cleats?

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Here's the Brewers' lineup ... for now
San Francisco -- The Milwaukee Brewers are in scramble mode today in the wake of their latest injury, a left hamstring strain suffered by Rickie Weeks in last night's 6-1 victory.
Weeks is headed back to Milwaukee today to meet with team physician William Raasch, but his next trip will be to the disabled list according to the early feedback.
That said, there are all kind of machinations behind the scenes regarding both the Brewers' lineup today as well as how the roster will look moving forward as the team next heads to Seattle for a three-game weekend series against the Mariners.
One thing that was revealed this morning was that Tom Gorzelanny will indeed move into the starting rotation on Saturday, when he'll take on Hisashi Iwakuma.
Here's what the lineup looks like now. Check back later for possible changes.

text: Statutes of limitations are laws passed by a legislative body in common law systems to set the maximum time after an event when legal proceedings may be initiated.[1] When the period of time specified in a statute of limitations passes, a claim can no longer be filed. The intention of these laws is to facilitate resolution in a reasonable length of time.[2] In civil law (legal system) systems, similar provisions are typically part of their civil or criminal codes and known collectively as periods of prescription. The cause of action dictates the statute of limitations, which can be reduced (or extended) to ensure a fair trial.[3] When a statute of limitations expires in a criminal case, the courts no longer have jurisdiction.

David Templeton missed a sitter against Stenhousemuir
Matthew Lindsay, Chief Football Writer / / Sport
DAVID TEMPLETON today vowed to help Rangers bounce straight back from their embarrassing 3-3 draw with part-time rivals Stenhousemuir.
Templeton was unable to prevent the Gers dropping points for only the second time in SPFL League One this season at Ibrox on Saturday.
But the forward, who was denied what manager Ally McCoist called a "stonewall penalty", is not going to dwell on the result.
He is glad the Light Blues have a league match against Stranraer at Stair Park tomorrow evening and is determined to help his side record a victory.
Templeton said: "When things don't go well in one game the first thing that you want is another game coming straight away and fortunately for us that is what we have got.
"Playing Stranraer away at Stair Park is a hard game, but hopefully we can make things right after our draw with Stenhousemuir by getting a victory."
Meanwhile, Templeton has hit out at the yellow card he received from referee Greg Aitken for diving in the first half of the draw with Stenhousemuir.
The former Warriors player expected his team to be awarded a penalty when he went down in the opposition area after a challenge by Sean Lynch.
But he was booked by Aitken much to his amazement - and to the incredulity of more than 40,000 Rangers fans inside the stadium.
Promoted stories
He said: "I was through on goal and I was clipped. For me, it was a stonewall penalty. The opposition player even said so himself.
"I couldn't believe I got booked for it. There was contact, I was in on goal and there was no reason to go down. To get booked was frustrating."
However, Templeton, who has enjoyed far better form in the last few months, has admitted Rangers did not deserve to win the match. And he admitted that McCoist's men must perform far better in both attack and defence in the future -starting in the meeting with Stranraer.
He said: "We weren't good enough. The three goals we conceded were really poor. We have to defend far better than we did and make sure that we don't do the same thing again.
"I missed an absolute sitter in the first half. Afterwards, I just wanted to go home and cry about it. It was an open goal. I just needed to tap it in. I somehow managed to put it past the post.
"It was the worst miss that I have ever had in my life. I couldn't believe that I had missed it. I tried to rectify what had happened, but wasn't able to."

text: How would you right a proof for this theorem: "If a segment is given, then it has exactly one midpoint"? Please note that the numbering of the postulates (P) is based on my geometry book. Also, I'm just in 9th grade geometry, so please don't use differential equations or some other math than basic Euclidean geomtery. This will help me better understand the concept. This is what I did so far: This is where I kind of get lost.... Does that prove Q is the midpoint? I don't think so because: 1.) I haven't shown that the arithmetic I did in an attempt to show the distances between AQ and BQ are equal to that of AB works for all cases. 2.)I'm not sure I have adequately proven that A, Q and B are on the same line.

..and washed four diapers with my other laundry, fabric softener included!! Do I need to strip them now? I only added about a tbsp. of softener to the load but..
so didnt realize diapers were in washer..
Comments (9)
Catholic. Married since 1998
Mom to a Teen Diva, a Tween Tomgirl, and a sweet Toddler Boy. Two saints watch over all of us.
I guess it will prob be fairly odvious if they repel? Just dont want to be in the middle of Wal-mart if it happens
Stripping can be done different ways. But I think the most common would be either doing a few wash cycles with no soap added. Or washing with a little bit of blue dawn and then a few rinse cycles.
You could also use vinegar. But If you have hard water this could be a problem.
Blue dawn will get any build up out.
What I would be nervous about is diaper rash so you really should just strip them.
Stripping should be done every so often regardless.
K, I don't have any blue dawn in the house and don't feel like a wal-mart run rite now. I will prob wash them like normal and then rinse like 3 or 4 times. Sound like a plan?
New to this cd thing, as in I started about a month ago for our 13 month twin boys. And I love it!!!!!!!
That should be fine. Just make sure in the last rinse that there are no bubbles indicating that there is still residue.
Ok, I just read oxi-clean works too. I added a tbsp. of that for good measure. I will rinse 4 times after. Thx ladies!

THE WAY WE WERE; Glamorous Forties-Style Tailoring Is the Next Vintage Look to Hit the High Streets. but the Reality of Dressing Yourself during World War Two Was Much Less Appealing, as Post Style Editor Caroline Foulkes Finds Out
Byline: Caroline Foulkes
From 1914-1918, fashion reached a standstill.World War One, then known as the Great War, was a time of drab, functional clothing and uniforms.
Society changed radically in the aftermath of the war, with beginnings of a breakdown in class barriers.And nowhere was this new freedom more celebrated - and notable - than in the world of fashion. Hemlines, fabrics and ways of cutting clothing all changed. Mass production was introduced on the back of lessons learnt by uniform manufacturers, making fashionable garments more readily available to all. In spite of the Great Depression, it was a time of experimentation, of daring.
But trouble was looming on the European horizon.The threat of war was imminent once more, and fashion designers, sensing the mood change, developed their collections accordingly to include more military inspired, square shouldered clothing and more practical garments.Yet even as war broke out in September 1936, the fashion industry rolled on relatively unhindered.
On June 1,Whit Sunday, 1941, that all changed.
With the war in full swing, materials of all kinds were scarce, and those that were available went towards the war effort first. Rationing was introduced.
Initially, every adult was issued with 66 clothing coupons to last a year.
Although that might sound a lot, when you consider how many coupons went towards one item, it was actually verylittle. For example, a woman's 'frock, gown or dress of wool' cost 11 coupons, while one made from other fabric was seven.A skirt would set you back seven, and a jumper, five. Shoes were five and a long coat 11. Shopping sprees were completely out of bounds, unless you wanted to be in rags after six months.
Yet this was generous: by 1945 the allowance had fallen to 36 coupons a year. As a consequence, those who had uniforms generally tended to wear them almost all the time, even on a night out.The only other way around the situation was to make do and mend.
With the help of a prim looking, matronly housewife called Mrs Sew-&Sew, the Board of Trade and the Ministry of Information issued a series of pamphlets and posters designed at helping women get around the tricky business of making clothing last.Wornout sheets were turned into shirts, shorts and dresses.Trousers were turned into skirts. Old socks became children's mittens.
Fripperies such as frills, wide sleeves and any form of trim were considered in bad taste - under the 1942 Civilian Clothing Order the government introduced sumptuary laws making it illegal to spend time embellishing clothes for sale.To appear patriotic and be seen to be supporting the war effort, simple, unfussy styles were adopted - boxy, square shoulder padded jackets and short straight skirts, some as much as 19 inches from the floor, were the order of the day.
Clothes had to be practical, restrained and hard wearing.The one advantage for most adults was that food rationing meant there was no chance of getting too fat for their clothes - you were more likely to wear them out than be straining at the seams.
Even occasionwear didn't escape - women who got married just before war broke out often attended weddings where their original dress was worn by the bride as frocks were handed down from sister to sister.And once it had been worn to death, it would be turned into underwear.
Shoes didn't escape either. Leather was in short supply, so soles were often made from durable materials like cork and rope.The practical, sturdy and hardwearing wedge shoe was standard fare for women, although many rebelled against its clumpy, dowdy appearance by painting the soles in bright colours. Ironically, the wedge has gone in and out of style ever since, although it is now valued more for its fashion aesthetics than its practicality.
Underneath the sensible shoes, the chances are most women would have been wearing bare legs. …

I have been using this product since 1996 & absolutely LOVE it. It contains HYALURONIC ACID which is an advanced hydrator that penetrates to the lower level of the epidermis where moisturizers do not go. It energizes & plumps up the new cells that are surfacing. It is a lightweight serum that is packaged in a pump bottle, 3 to 4 drops for the entire face is all you need and use only ONCE a day. It helps prevent future lines & wrinkles & is a booster hydrator. I use a moisturizer on top. Another reviewer was discrediting the ingredients & I felt compelled to share that it has many wonderful ingredients & does wonders for your skin.

This is a "serum" that is mostly silicones -- it has absolutely NO active ingredients to make your skin better, much less to "energize" it. It does blur surface imperfections, but any primer will do that.
I particularly object to the $48 price tag. For what's in it, this is insane. I've used MN off and on for many years; they have gone s far up in price, they have lost my loyalty and good will. I still use a couple of products, but reluctantly.
And this item is their best-selling product. Know your ingredients and read this label. Water, mineral oil, propylene glycol, and silicone. Oh, and ginseng extract. Whoopie.

I Love this Product!! This Product is for people with dry and stressed skin... im oily and i love that i can rub a tiny peral size of this all over and it soaks right in... then i apply my sunscreen moisturizer... I noticed this contains ginseng, which my friend told me, will stimulate and invigorate the skin. lol. this helps to achieve a noticeable improvement in my skin's texture.

I really like this serum. A lot of serums don't do anything for me, but this makes my skin look and feel good and I love the scent too -- but it goes away very quickly for those who don't like scents. It is a fantastic primer for makeup -- my makeup looks incredibly polished and smooth when I use this. It adds hydration and seems to make my skin look healthy. I've used this on and off for years, and it's always served me well.

Felt nice going on, but seemed to dry out my skin. Made it kind of tight-feeling and prickly, even with serious moisturizing. The skin under my eyes got really thin looking and kind of crinkly. So disappointing.

Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

This is my favorite serum. I love the way it makes my skin look and feel. It only takes a small amount to cover your face. I usually apply moisturizer after this in the winter but not in the summer. My skin feels hydrated but never greasy. I paid $40.00 at my Merle Norman.

HG serum/facial treatment. I have tried several facial serums like EL Advanced Night Repair, Perfectionist, Ole Henriksen etc etc but none of them did anything to my face. I used MN Energizing Concentrate and my face looks 10 years younger. I didn't expect immediate result from this product since it's cheap compared to the other serums but this is the most effective facial treatment. I use it twice a day before my moisturizer. It absorbs quickly but leaves a film on my face but it's not oily and sticky and it gives me that glow and after 5 minutes, my face is super soft and smooth. This also evens out the skin tone and it controls oil. At the end of the day, my face looks like I just applied foundation on. This serum will give you that airbrushed look.

THIS IS FABULOUS!!!! This literally makes my complexion look ten times better in no time! It says results in 6 weeks but I saw them much sooner! I wear it at night and under makeup. Its oil-free ( so no worries for my acne) and it provides just enough moisture. I use it around my eyes and it def helps with the puffiness! Love it.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Very Oily, Other, Not Sure

I received this in a free gift. I have fine lines and some acne scarring. I use this at night and in the morning under my makeup. It is not a moisturizer, but a treatment. I have oily skin so for me it is great without any moisturizer. I also use the AHA treatment at night. My skin looks so smooth. My makeup goes on wonderfully over this. I use the Merle Norman Flawless effect which is another great product, but it is silicone based and it goes on better over the energizing concentrate. If you have dry skin, you would still apply your moisturizer. Give this a try. All of the Merle Norman skin care products are wonderful. To the reviewer who said this felt tacky on their skin, I think maybe you used to much. It only takes a small amount and result is wonderful.
