The first of the election season clown conventions is over. The Republicans have concluded their ceremonies in Florida, and anointed this year's version of The Next Guy in Line -- Mitt Romney. And to no one's surprise, the GOP platform is built from the time-honored planks of tax cuts, misogyny, guns, deregulation, xenophobia, nationalism, spending cuts, patriarchy, piety, fear, anger, and deification of the rich and powerful.
But this time around, something strange is in the air. Republicans have a dubious relationship with reality, we all know this -- but depth of this year's GOP mendacity has even drawn the attention of the mainstream news media. Are journalists, at long last, deciding to be reporters instead of stenographers? Will this be the year when they finally decide to call out the liars?

It was October once again, time for my departure for Alexandria, at the tail end of the stifling summer heat. This time I decided to take Francesco with me. My mother had moved to an old people's home which also offered comfortable accommodation for visiting guests. Initially Francesco was opposed to the idea. 'Why don't you ask your mother to come to Rome instead?', he asked, he who adored Alexandria and always dreamed of returning there. But our plans could not be altered. My mother had left her apartment for good and had to sell all her furniture; so my presence was essential. Plus I was counting on Francesco who, as an expert designer, could help us to value the objects and settle the prices.
But things went wrong even before we left. The key to the small safe, which contained our passports, air tickets and money, had suddenly disappeared. Searching through all the drawers, cupboards and cabinets of the house did not bring it to light. For years we had kept this key in a hiding place well known to us both, and now suddenly it appeared to have been moved. I called Irene, our young Polish cleaning girl, counting on her precision and meticulousness to help us in the search. Together we went very carefully through every corner again but to no avail. There was no other alternative but to request the locksmith to come and break open the safe.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Red Velvet Cafe - Fashion Show Mall
by BuddyWheeler
Review: This place needs to be way higher on the Happy Cow list. I almost didn't even see the listing. The lady working the counter when we went tonight was friendly, engaging and helpful. The chili rubbed potatoes were fantastic, I also had the buffalo chicken wrap - all vegan. Everything was hot, tasted fantastic and the service was really great. For the large plate of potatoes, the wrap with salad, 2 vegan shakes and a giant dessert it was only $41. So happy to have a walk up counter service place on the strip. Not just vegan friendly - vegan awesome!

Matthew 10:1-8New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim this message: 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

Colossians 3:5-10King James Version (KJV)
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

A Resplendent City's Golden Heart
By John Russell
Published: November 9, 1997
As a name, ''Municipal House'' does not have the seductiveness of the Doge's Palace in Venice, let alone of the Taj Mahal in Agra. It may even sound like the kind of place where people stand in line for hours to get a fishing license. But the Municipal House in Prague is not like that. It is an open house in an open society, a place of magic that draws an immense and eager public.
In an ideal location, adroitly chosen on the edge of the Old Town of Prague, it has as its next-door neighbor the chunky, 200-foot high, 500-year old Powder Tower. Though rebuilt in the 1870's and 1880's, complete with flamboyant Gothic ornamentation, that tower has still a stalwart silhouette. The Municipal House could have no finer dancing partner.
The area is inmost, midmost Prague. Here, from 1383 to 1484, the royal road leading from the Old City to the Castle of Prague began. That road is still there today, and it leads first to Celetna Street, one of the oldest and grandest in Prague, and from there along Charles Street to every visitor's favorite destination, the Charles Bridge.
Opened in 1912 and renovated to perfection since the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the Municipal House is both the epitome and the apotheosis of a Prague that came of age around 1914. It has self-assurance in spades. Facade and roof line are equal partners with the interior. Ambitious works of art abound, inside and out. Blank walls are taboo. From street level to the top of the lettuce-green central dome, the huge building says to us, ''Come right in! You won't regret it.''
At first sight, the House looks like a belle epoque Grand Hotel.
We might be in Biarritz, or Nice, or Monte Carlo, before 1914. But these facades are also full of coded signals. What they have to tell us is that Prague in 1912 was a capital city that for too long had been denied its independence.
The Municipal House was always a palace of pleasure, unreservedly. But it was also an imaginary and diminutive free state in which patriotic Czechs felt free to think, to dream, to plan and eventually to act. Commissioned and paid for by the city of Prague, the building was implicitly a challenge to the Hapsburgs, who had held Prague in fief since the year 1620. It was intended as a monumental ark in which every aspect of contemporary Czech culture would be shown at its best. The structure was to touch on everything from epic historical painting to folkloric ceramics, and from candy to couture.
Today's visitors will be continually entertained. (And, by the way, admission is free.) On the main entrance floor, we can wile away the morning in an archetypal Central European cafe, complete with a fountain in full operation and a partly undressed young woman in white marble relief to oversee the scene. We can have lunch or dinner in the big French Restaurant that, though more Czech than French in its cuisine, will put us in a good humor before we have even sat down.
On the very first landing, as we walk upstairs, we become aware that, in the Municipal House, gallantry rules. Womanhood, whether dressed or undressed, is held in high admiration throughout, and nowhere more so than on that first landing, where gilded wreaths are held high by golden young women.
On the second floor, we can hear music in what is Prague's largest and finest concert hall, which comes with paintings and sculptures to match. On the top floor, we can take in current exhibitions of art, both new and not so new. When the happy hour strikes, an old-style American Bar is open for business on the lower level. Nearby are a cafeteria, a wine bar, a little Czech eatery, a boutique with very pretty scarfs and other souvenirs, a bookshop and a large checkroom that is remarkable for its elegant and economical design.
And, above all, we have the run of a phantasmagorical interior, the like of which we shall never quite see anywhere else. The Municipal House was the supreme showcase for the decorative ambitions of Czech Art Nouveau. It is not primarily about architecture, but about how to make love to architecture. Nor is it about color as it had been redefined by French painting (Matisse and Derain, above all) and by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. It is about the colors that came with Czech Art Nouveau -- moody mauves, for instance, and evanescent greens and grays that flirt with one another.
The Municipal House dates from a time in which the essential unit of Czech decoration was often related to the forms of jewelry. The brooch, the earring, the bracelet and the necklace were not merely baubles; they were the engines of original design. Even before we get to the entrance, we see the balcony railings, garlanded in gold. If we look through the windows of the cafe, we see the gold light that shines out from chandeliers that are like gigantic ear clips, each with a pendant attached. The allegorical sculptured heads on the facade are like bronze brooches, enlarged to size.
Every clock in the House (and there are dozens of them) comes with an ornamental riff that runs the gamut of the high-style decoration of the day. (They keep good time, but that's the least of it.) Even the elevator shafts come spangled, with gilded tendrils that reach up from floor to floor.

GOP Senator Warns of 'Riots' if Automakers Are Bailed Out
Time and again we've heard about the lost jobs and economic impact of failing to bail out the beleaguered American auto manufacturers. But little mention has been made of the consequences of going through with the bailout, and how such an action would be viewed by other Americans.
Time and again we've heard about the lost jobs and economic impact of failing to bail out the beleaguered American auto manufacturers. But little mention has been made of the consequences of going through with the bailout, and how such an action would be viewed by other Americans.
In an interview following a Dec. 10 press conference where he and four other senators aired their opposition to the proposed bailout deal struck by congressional leaders and the White House (and approved by the U.S. House of Representatives 237-170 that evening), Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., warned that the perception that some industries are being bailed out and some aren't could lead to violence.
"We're going to have riots. There are already people rioting because they're losing their jobs when everybody else is being bailed out. The fairness of it becomes more and more evident as we go along. The auto companies may be hurting," he said, but "there are very few companies that aren't hurting and they're going to hurt. We don't have enough money to bail everyone out."
DeMint blamed the unions for pushing this issue as far as it has gotten. The senator said the notion that reorganization under bankruptcy would not work was generated by the unions for fear of losing their power.
"The primary driver behind this is the unions, because bankruptcy allows the auto companies to basically restructure all their contracts in a way that a bankruptcy judge says will make them sustainable," DeMint said. "And if they do that, then essentially the unions lose all their leverage. It's the unions that have brought them to the brink. So definitely, I think the reason they want a political solution and a car czar is because a car czar can protect the unions through this whole process at the expense of the taxpayer."
The result of the bailout culture that now exists on Capitol Hill will be incredibly high rates of inflation down the road as the economy picks back up and prices reflect the amount of new money circulating through the economy.
"There is no question this will result in inflation," DeMint said. "The amount of money we've borrowed, the amount of money we've printed has put us in a more dangerous situation than we've ever been in as a country. We may not see the inflation as long as the economy is slow. But, I've talked to some economic experts and once the economy starts picking up with so much money in the money supply and so much debt, we're likely to see very high interest rates and very high inflation rates."
DeMint went as far as to say that General Motors (NYSE:GM), one of the big three auto manufacturers lobbying for bailout money, was better off than the nation that's debating whether to rescue it..
"If you look at where we're going, we're not on a sustainable course as a country," DeMint said. "Frankly, GM is in a better financial situation than we are as a country. The only difference is we can print money. But as other countries around the world lose confidence in the value of a dollar – that's going to come home very shortly."

To homeless children sleeping on the street, neon is as comforting as a night-light. Angels love colored light too. After nightfall in downtown Miami, they nibble on the NationsBank building — always drenched in a green, pink, or golden glow. "They eat light so they can fly," eight-year-old Andre tells the children sitting on the patio of the Salvation Army's emergency shelter on NW 38th Street. Andre explains that the angels hide in the building while they study battle maps. "There's a lot of killing going on in Miami," he says. "You want to fight, want to learn how to live, you got to learn the secret stories." The small group listens intently to these tales told by homeless children in shelters.
This one will break your heart, but in a good way — a ten year old article on the secret folklore of homeless children.
(From a link posted at Anthropik…thanks to them!) :
Last night my dad called me, wanting to chat.
He lives in a warehouse in the countryside south of Portland, next to a major stopping point for trains, in a strange set-up we like to call the "batcave". Sometimes he needs to talk to someone besides his neighbors, and we have good conversations. Mostly about how excited we feel knowing the state of the world. Like two magicians sharing techniques, we go on and on. Sometimes we disagree about how to come at a certain topic.
Last night he called with the news of the Supreme Court tossing out a tobacco trial verdict originally tried in Portland, Oregon. I myself belonged to the jury of a multi-million dollar tobacco trial back in…2002? Something like that. "the Estate of Michelle Schwarz vs. Phillip Morris USA". My dad thought the news might have involved my trial, but no…it involved another multi-million dollar trial concerning a different dead smoker from Oregon.
Realizing the confusion did remind me of my experiences on the trial…I still have my little notebook full of detailed immaculate notes on secret documents, strange diagrams, expert testimony, etc.
It reminded me of how I felt back then…I don't believe in an adversarial system to resolve conflict then, nor do I now. I only believe in remedy, the system humans used for uncounted millenia before civilization. "How do we make things right again among us, as best as possible? How do we heal the hurt?" Not "how do we find fault, make blame, and punish." As much as a fascinating modern innovation this may appear to the general public, it does no more than insert an extra step between the injury and the healing of it. Usually it misdirects the social inquiry into the harm enough to cause everyone to forget that the healing still remains undone. Once you've killed the murderer, whew, that solves it, right? Oops. Forgot about the victim's loved ones who may never recover, because they all believe the lie that punishment will resolve the damage. I almost want to say it sounds like a child's version of resolving conflict, but that offends the sensibilities of my friendship with many children…more accurately, it sounds like an abused child's version of resolving conflict.
All this to say, what do I care if Phillip Morris USA (in my trial) gets "pants-ed" or not? I decided to go along for the ride and judge as impartially as possible, without bringing any bias of "evil corporations" into it. So I played by their rules, looking for fault and blame.
In the end, the entire jury saw very clearly that Phillip Morris USA had a cruel and manipulative streak that spanned decades. A few still thought that a smoker should know better than to smoke, but no-one had any illusions that Phillip Morris USA had not done some profoundly sketchy things.
So hearing about this new case got me ranting about things, about people who think smokers should know better, about a corporation who realized that they only needed to create a little-doubt, an almost doubt, the tiniest of excuses to keep smoking. A tiny little crack in the door suffices for an addict. The gap in the door may only amount to a fraction of an inch, but that still means the door remains open, right?
But then the whole idea of that addict got to me. Addicts. How does that differ from consumers? Consumers have an addiction to the modern american lifestyle, to cheap goods, to cheap drugs, to cheap food. It reminded me of Derrick Jensen's writings against civilization. It got me thinking. Americans, Europeans, whomever, they still just want that tiny little excuse that our civilization won't destroy itself, that it could go on forever, that everyone can have their toys and numbing lifestyles.
And doesn't civilization deliver? It just keeps that door open a crack, a fraction of an inch. A little doubt. You can watch our science fiction and see people in the future, flying space-ships. If we can write a story about living in the future, that means we could live there, right?
Science fiction can't contradict the verdict of science, right? So our scientists must have just confused things. We'll make it through climate change a-ok! Peak Oil just means we'll switch to free, unlimited energy! It doesn't matter about the evidence. Hell, even our scientists will find the avenue of inquiry leading to the abandonment of civilization an almost absurd notion. Because, look! See, in that movie…you can see us on other planets! That must mean something.
Every day of the week you can turn on the television and see snippets of the bright and shiny future awaiting us, just on the other side of this inconvenient worldwide catastrophe that has just begun to really gain steam. If we think 200 species a day felt uncomfortable, just wait! We can do better than that.
I'd say the door stands open more than a crack. We've managed to make this culture of addicts act like a bunch of creationists, saying "sure, we may have to change, but look how wide the door stands open…that leaves a lot of room for doubt in your theory…since you don't have 100% proof, that means you don't really know, do you?"
We all know (or might find useful to know, if we don't yet) that Creationists differ from the supporters of Evolutionary theory in no more than that Creationists look for data to fit a story they already have, whereas the Theory of Evolution came about through the attempt to find an explanation to fit the data we already have. One started with data, the other started with a story. No big deal. Two ways to go about things. Two starkly different uses for information, in fact. The Creationists need to do the work they do, to continue to use their story in a meaningful way. No hard feelings. They have to look for data that fits their story, and ignore data that doesn't, to service the story.
To look down on this practice, in fact, shows the hypocrisy in most modern folks…because what other explanation can you provide for the lack of activity in dissolving civilization? We have plenty of clear evidence for the inevitable collapse of civilization. But we don't find it interesting, any more than an addict would to know about more reasons to quit smoking. We have plenty of information right now. We don't need Al Gore to tell us. Simply looking out our kitchen windows has sufficed for decades to give us all the information we need.
Do you really need satellite photos of receding glaciers to tell you that something has gone terribly, terribly amiss? Did the disappearing frogs not tip you off? The exterminated native peoples? The poisoned, unswimmable, undrinkable rivers? The burgeoning generations of asthmatics?
I found Phillip Morris USA guilty of negligence, certainly, for attempting to manipulate Michelle Schwarz into leaving that door open a crack. But I don't for a moment think that Michelle Schwarz didn't desire for them to let her have that illusion.
Anymore than I think the billions of modern humans want someone to close the door on their illusions, on the possibility of continuing their addiction that will someday soon close the door on a vast diversity of life.
Punishment makes things so simple. Judging makes things so simple.
Remedy takes a lot of work.
Remedy forces you to look in the mirror and see what you need to do to make things right again.

here we slip between cruel teeth
here we cross a stricken desert
here amidst the hiddens
we have our first child
laughing at her destiny
you sing the song
that the raven wrote
I bleed from an old wound
that you wrap anew
with bandages
that tie us
to the loving hands
all around
a basket woven
out of shared woundedness

If you are a driver for a privately owned truck, how do you make sure you get paid for down time?
For example, you take a load to Point A and while you are there, the truck breaks down and 8 days later you are fixed and back on the road.
Owner is not intending to pay you for your down time. They refuse to pay any expenses other than the cost of fixing the truck.
Is there something a guy can do about this?
Response from Vicki:
Hello, Tom,
Thanks for asking about waiting or down time. We addressed this issue in part on the page we called Drivers Delayed and Detained at the Docks Should Be Paid for Waiting Time.
As best as I can tell, the differences between what we described and what you described are two:
1. You are driving a "privately owned truck" as opposed to driving a company-owned truck or being an owner-operator who owns his own truck but drives for a company; and
2. You are dealing with breakdown/repair waiting time as opposed to waiting in a dock to be loaded or unloaded.
I wonder based on what you wrote if your downtime occurred away from home (thus forcing you to pay for a motel/hotel and your meals the entire time). These might be the "expenses" you referred to.
In cases like this, many trucking companies generally don't pay detention or waiting time pay but layover pay. Depending on your location, layover may not even cover the cost of accommodations, let alone food.
While situations vary among drivers, the first thing I suggest you do is to re-read every agreement you now have or have had with the owner of the truck to see if there is a clause or paragraph regarding down time. There may also be a "company policy" that is not covered in the agreement(s) you signed. If you have neither, you may have to just "bite" the down time (as painful as that is).
Although the situations are different, people sometimes have success in pressing for their health insurance provider

Muy buen wall

Great Wallpaper
how are you saying 'thank you' to compliments when it's not even your photo. it's an os x mavericks wallpaper. all you did was use an apple cinema display mockup psd file and put the wallpaper in.
almost no wallpaper is created by the same person, the majority does the same and shares
Hi bro, i think if he add a description...it's ok!
it's sad that you think this way and/or you seem to know many people who do so. I still think you're in no position to take compliments for work that is not your own. I feel people don't seem to realize that (even though you state that it's an os' included wallpaper)
is for the reason that wallpaper was not available yet, was part of the update of OSX, most people have a pc at home, no mac, very few people who do good, you can check yourself, use other wallpapers, many do not even cite their source
all wallpapers from the newest mavericks update were published by various websites (osxdaily.com being one of them) only hours after the developer preview update of os x mavericks was made public ... so no need really to 'showcase' it on dA - and by showcase I mean putting it in that cinema display .psd
I'm basically just saying it's not necessary to take credit for someone else's work. however, lots of people do. which makes me sad. especially if it's on webpages that are there primarily not to share but to showcase one's work. and in particular I only criticized your behavior on peoples reactions on how marvelous that wallpaper/photo was - them clearly not knowing that it wasn't your work to begin with. you said 'thanks' a lot which I personally would only do if it was in fact my photo.
in addition you put that icon in the picture's description which clearly means you want people to notice it and add it to favorites which again means that you kind of want and like the fame and attention. and those customization groups the wallpaper was accepted by usually have a statement somewhere that they only accept art that is created by the submitting deviant.
I at no time have I said that is clearly mine, I put the note that is OS X Mavericks, people understand one, I repeat to you is for people who have pc at home, instead of apple, I'd only post, not what you want, hope you're well with all deviations you find out there, I want to do brother fame, success comes with time, I quoted the source, I hope this will be enough, I repeat I hope you're even.

This is a pigment that I bought just for the sake of having another pigment in my collection that I didn't happen to have something similar to already. Well if I had taken the time to swatch and really think about this I would have never bought it. When in the pot it looks like a soft nude with a slight gold tint.
The only thing that I really use this for is on my lower lash line to brighten up my eyes a little more. I do not really find this color to be flattering at all, it is basically really close to my skin color but when swatched it has a slight orange tint. I do not know if this is just the case because I have such fair skin. It is probably one of my least used shadows, and the only reason I occasionally use this is because I pressed it into a pan so it is in my neutral palate.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium

I got this pigment with one of '09 holiday pigment sets, and it's very nice. It has a nice shimmer and color, but whenever I applied it, it was so light you couldn't even see it! I would use this if I wanted a very light, natural pigment, and would recommend it for anyone who is looking to achieve that look. I probably won't buy this again, because I'm sure that it will last me for a long time.

I love Naked. It is a true nude with attitude color which I use almost daily on my eyes.
The one main problem with this pigment, as with all MAC pigments is the miserable packaging. I have had a few accidents of the pigent kind and my only solution is to buy the MAC small pots and put half of one pigment pot into it and then save the rest for later. That way if i spill it, I won't lose the whole thing.
This particular pigment is fantastic for me personally because although it has sheen it is not too shimmery and looks perfect for daytime.
A great product in horrible packaging!

I love mac pigments. I was seriously against using them because I was afraid of fallout. However, I've discovered them to be awesome. Naked pigment is an exception because it's a wonderful neutral highlight. I don't think it's too bright or shimmery, just perfect.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other

I love mac pigments because the colors are so wonderful and the formula really lasts. The only problem is I'm not too fond of the packaging. I wish it had a sifter like most loose eyeshadows do. That way you could tap a little bit into the lid, swirl your brush in it and apply it. These are really easy to spill and they're so large. You get 7.5 grams of product, most loose eyeshadows give you 2.5 grams or less. So the price is fair for the amount of product, but I wish there were smaller versions that cost less because there's no way I'd go through an entire jar. Although if I did go through an entire jar, it would be of Naked pigment because it's so versatile and has so many uses. I love using it as a highlight on my cheekbones, brow bones, cupid's bow, and inner eye corners. It's a light champagne color with a subtle shimmer that is not as sparkly as other mac pigments. You can also use it as an eyeshadow or put it on your lips with gloss. It's awesome and totally worth the money.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Naked is a true pale beige colour with a lot of sparkle. I use it as an 'all over' lid colour for day time neutral looks. I'm a NC15 for reference. I only gave this 4 stars because there really is a lot of sparkle in here. I would love to see a MAC pale beige neautral without sparkle or pink reflection!
Age: 25-29

This was TERRIBLE!! It looked like a general powder sparkle hardly showed up and it just wasn't all that for me. I couldn't even tell I had it on. You could probly make a better version of this by mixing a general nude powder with a mac brilliants product. I have fair skin right now. It just didn't work for me.
Age: 44-55

FABULOUS! I have lots of MAC pigment but this is my all time favorite. You can use it for so many different 'things'. I had a late, late night - used it under my eyes, instant wake up! I use it on my brow bone for a wonderfully subtle lift. I use it on the cupid's bow for a pout, also at the end of the lips to make lips seem fuller (just brush some Revlon natural lip gloss on lips for this effect). Use it all over eye and finish off with a smudge of Revlon black eye liner to corner of top lid, some Bobby Brown mascara and your eyes will really pop. I will definitely buy this again. I've just bought a full jar and have put on watch another on eBay. GR8 all over product with a multitude of uses.
Age: 19-24

I really like this product as a highlight. I use it under my brow and I like to use it on the lids of my bridal clients. It also looks beautiful dusted on the cheek bones or decollete and mixed into a little but of light pink or clear lip gloss!

You might have noticed that when you start up your Windows, the NumLock is not enabled or say is turned Off. To use NumLock keys you need to enable it. This can be little annoying as you need to enable it every time you turn on your system. However here is the tweak described in the tutorial to fix this issue on Windows 7 and 8.You can now turn on Numlock upon startup or reboot in Windows 7 or Windows 8 by following any of the procedures described below, either by disabling Fast Startup in Windows 8 or by some registry tweak.
As we all are aware that Windows 8 has brought out many interesting features with it. One among them is the Fast Startup, also known as Hybrid Shutdown. This helps you to resume your work that you were working on when you shutdown your Windows 8. It simply means that you don't need to close all your sessions to shut down your PC. Instead of continuing and ending system services, and shutting down Session 0, Windows then hibernates so it is called Hybrid Shutdown.
This feature works by sends out a message to running applications, allowing the users to have a chance for saving data and settings. Running applications also request OS to provide an extra time to finish what they're doing. After that Windows closes the user sessions for each logged-on user, and then enters Hibernation mode or say hibernates the Windows session.
But this Fast Startup affects NumLock, so disabling fast Startup helps you fixing the issue.
Disable Fast Startup, to enable NumLock at every startup in Windows 8
- First press Windows key + X, it will open power user task menu
- From there click on Control Panel and select Power Plan
- In power plan, click on Choose what the power buttons do on the left side panel
- Next, select Change settings that are currently unavailable
- Navigate down to Turn on fast startup (recommended) and uncheck it.
Upon completing all the steps, reboot your system. You can find that NumLock is enabled on startup.
Steps to Enable NumLock on startup in Windows 8 using Registry
You can make changes in the registry settings to enable Numlock on startup in Windows 8. But, before making any changes in the registry make sure that you have created a backup of registry or create a system restore point.
Follow these steps given below to enable NumLock on startup:
- Press Windows key + R to open Run dialog box and type in Regedit and hit enter. It will open Windows registry editor
- Next, navigate to registry key HKEY_USERS\Default\Control Panel\Keyboard
- In right pane, right click on the "InitialKeyboardIndicators" and select Modify and change its Value data to 2.
- Now click Apply/ OK and close Registry.
Upon following the procedures in the tutorial here you can enable or active on startup or reboot in Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Versatile like you are, the Gaiam® Three-In-One Yoga Strap and Sling makes your life a whole lot easier.
for small mats only
the idea is great and the item would be nice if the bungees that go around the mat as well as the shoulder strap were adjustable. one end of the mat holder broke when I tried to fit it around my new jade rubber mat. I fixed it but don't think this strap will see much use as it works best for small lightweight mats. heavier mats allow the shoulder strap to stretch to knee level which makes it awkward to carry.

mat strap
Nice idea to combine a mat strap with a fitness band. It's a little stretchy for a sling but works well as strapping to keep a thin mat rolled. However it is tight for a thick mat. Still it's stretchy enough to work.

Seeing UC Davis drop to No. 55 in Sierra magazine's eighth annual ranking of the "coolest schools" in the country is, at first look, a bit disconcerting.
In fact, The Enterprise splashed UCD's No. 1 position on the front page in 2012, and last year favorably reported that UCD was No. 4 in the country. UCD's point differential between last year and this was 122.5. In 2013, the campus scored 782.74 points out of 1,000; this year it scored only 660.24.
So what gives now? Has UCD lost its motivation to be one of the "greenest" universities in the country?
Not at all.
As is often the case with changing rankings lists, other schools have improved significantly, rather than UCD becoming complacent in its efforts.
To be fair, though, UCD did lose significant points in a couple of key categories, specifically "energy." Out of 249 possible points, UCD's total for 2013 was 161.47; in 2014, UCD received only 102.85 points, nearly a 60-point drop. UCD is not even reaching the halfway mark for points in the energy category.
This category is fairly huge: Of the 67 criteria on the scoring key that make up the total 1,000 possible points, a full quarter of them fall under energy. Exactly which criteria those are isn't clear from the key or the 253-page report that is part of UCD's submission to the Sierra Club for consideration, but some were obvious: Energy consumption in buildings is worth 40 points; renewable energy sources is worth 45; and energy use by type (percentage of electricity and heating from alternative or renewable sources) is worth 25.
In UCD's submission to Sierra under the heading "energy," the university stated, in part:
"Securing clean and renewable energy is important to UC Davis, and the campus is working on two major initiatives that are not captured in the reporting year data for this credit. The campus is working on a large-scale (estimated production of 33 million kWh/year) solar photovoltaic project, slated for construction during 2014 and operation beginning in spring 2015.
"UC Davis has also recently finished construction of an on-campus anaerobic biodigester. This facility, using technology developed by UC Davis faculty and licensed to Clean World Partners, generates clean, renewable electricity from campus organic wastes.
"The facility will be supplied with approximately 20 tons per day of feed stocks from agricultural waste, animal manure and bedding, and food waste from campus dining commons. The biogas produced from the biodigester will generate 5.6 million kWh per year for the campus. The facility was completed in late 2013 and began producing electricity by spring 2014."
A few other significant point losses for UCD from 2013 to 2014 were under the headings "investments" (from 40 to 20 points), "waste" (from 103.17 to 89.67 points) and "planning" (from 71 points to 45).
Where UCD had improvements from last year were in the categories of "co-curricular," "food," "instruction/research" and "purchasing."

Larry - Excellent customer service Review by Larry
I recently made a purchase of a Life Fitness C3 upright bike and a Hoist V-5 gym with a leg press from your Vernon Hills, IL store. i worked with the manager of that store, Sean Johnston, and I would just like to say that I was very impressed with the equipment I purchased, but also with Sean who demonstrated professionalism, enthusiasm, and courtesy.
He was very patient with both my wife and I, spending a lot of time after he had already made the sale, so that I could understand how to use the equipment properly. Sean possesses many attributes that make him a fine salesperson. He is sincere, knowledgeable, a good listener, patient, persistent and compassionate. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experienced at 2nd Wind and would recommend your products and specifically Sean to any of my friends or family members looking to purchase high-quality fitness equipment.

text: Why is it that when I hold a spinning wheel on a rotating platform, when I turn the wheel upside down, the platform rotates? Is it because the angular momentum changed dircetions? Hence applying a force to keep sability making the platform turn? Is this the same idea is a top? How it is easier to keep a top on the tip when it's in motion rather than when it is stationary?

Old Newcastle Project
This exciting project focuses on Newcastle's social, cultural and creative heritage, using, amongst others, the ancient Black Gate and Castle Keep as a portal into the City's rich history, culture and character. The two buildings have now combined as one visitor attraction and are open to the public as Newcastle Castle.
Heritage Lottery Funding was secured in March 2011 to create an accessible, heritage-led education and interpretation centre in the then-vacant and closed Black Gate, transforming its current lifeless and substantially ignored presence into a hub of heritage activity that is now open and available to the entire community and visitors from near and far.
