Topic: Wartune /
Resetting skills & Unlocking Inventory (After patch 2.1)
Resetting skills shoul not be priced in balens, also inventory unlocks, because in 1.6 i used to get 200 vouchers/day.
means i can reset skills once at 3 days , same for inventory unlocks.
Now i can get 300 balens/month. So i can reset my skills once at 3 month???
Seriossly skills needs to be tested for example at mage you must have restoration lvl 3 . Is a must . I didn;t know that before i was beaten by a 13 k br when i was 17k

Suggestions #3
Change the World Boss event.
Now you need to participate in all 3 events in order to get as much Gold/Daru.
When you are lvl 59+ the WB gives you 75-80% of you potential Gold/Daru earnings.
But you are forced to be online at specific hours. For me first WB is at lunch time, second WB is while I am going home from work, third is at midnight..Both Europe servers are same schedule.
I have 2 suggestions to modify the WB to be more accessible:
1.Make 10 WB/day like Battlegrounds, and restrict to 3 attempts.
2.Leave WB like it is now in schedule, but make them 3 times stronger to gain same amount of Gold/Daru but restrict attempts to 1.
What do you think?
Topic: Wartune /
What is the point of camping?
As read on googling you can get 6-10 crystaloids per day.
So, to get complete lvl 60 set you need 1200 crystaloids or 200 days, almost a year,
then you move to lvl 70 gear another year.
good game.
i like how this game makes you play.
Hi Mits1,
Let's take the following example on old server from the begining of the game:
Player 1 and player 2 start now playing.
1.player 1 camps at lvl 39 for 6 months to lvl out max guild skills gain gems.becomes Crusader(honor cap) .Player 1 can earn max 1 mil gold/day no daru. at WB no damage can be done to gain daru /gold enuogh.Player 1 can't do catacombs meanwhile because he will earn experience.
player 2 reaches in 1 month lvl 55 in 2 month(8 weeks- gains Elite warrior rank )can buy the aren set witch is almost the same as legendary Blacksmith set. Player 2 can do catacombs, earns gems very fast.Player 2 can earn 3 mil gold per day at this point by doing WB.Player 2 now has 3x speed of gaining and improving astrals and contribute to guild skills. after 3 months he gets to lvl 60 where he can collect cristalods and other things to mke lvl 60 equip. Don;t know how is there and how many month it takes to have lvl 60 gear the wiki is not very clear.
But at this point after 3 months player 2 works on collecting lvl 60 gear while player 1 is still in lvl 39 with speed 1/3 of 1/4 at this point in gold collecting.
What do you need to get lvl 60 gear? and how does slow leveling help you in getting lvl 60 gear?
menwhile i can collect crystaloid and other stuff for lvl 60 equipement.
if i am stuck t lvl 39 i can't do that
i will not spend money on game.
I can get honor from guild battle(1200 per week min-3000 max) so(10- 26 weeks i can be crusader.
Academy vip or not vip is meant to be slow , because you can;t get huge amount ok kyranite easy. if i had 50 mil kyrnite i use vip trial at lvl 60 and max out my academy stats in 5 min, but kyrantine is meant to have 20k per day.
Any other reason?
I see lot of people staying at lvl 39,49,59.
I was told that this is the game meant to be played, and i do the same.
But after playing the game i realised that this is stupid.
Can anyone explain to me why is better to camp?
Topic: Wartune /

3-29-06 - For the second day in a row lawmakers from both parties in Oklahoma have come together to help rural fire departments. The senate unanimously approved a bill Wednesday that will raise state funding from $2,700 a year to $5,000 for over 800 departments statewide.
A $2 million revolving fund will be available for departments to help replace equipment and the bill includes a $5,000 death benefit for families of firefighters killed in the line of duty. While lawmakers are pleased with the steps being made to help firefighters they say there is still a long way to go.
The bill will go to Governor Brad Henry for his signature, which lawmakers expect to come as early as Thursday.

Thomasville, GA - Have you ever thought about a career in Law Enforcement? Some local youth are getting a glimpse of what it's like.
All week the Thomasville Police Department is hosting its Junior Law Enforcement Academy. Agencies like the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Bomb Disposal Unit that was there today teaching the kids the importance of not playing with explosives.
"They get to experience different parts of law enforcement besides just the average police officer you see on the street. We have people coming from the U.S. Marshals, the GBI, Moody Air Force Base Security Squadron, SWAT Team, all the specialized units that you may not get to see everyday," said Matthew Griffin, Thomasville Police School Resource Officer.
29 students signed up this year and that's the most yet. It's too late to sign your child up this year, but be on the lookout for flyers from the Thomasville Police Department for next July.

Police in Cary say the driver of the car hit by an Amtrak train last week might have bypassed the crossing arm.
Witnesses say they saw the Mitsubishi Gallant on the tracks before it was hit by a train around 11:30 a.m. Thursday. The driver of the car, 24-year-old Benny Dimery, was injured in the collision. Dimery's girlfriend, 22-year-old Lauren Webb, was killed. They're both from Laurinburg.
Dimery is still in the hospital. Police say the train was heading north at 55 miles an hour at the time of the collision.
Town of Cary spokeswoman Susan Moran says the accident occurred Thursday morning at a rail crossing on Southwest Maynard Road. The woman was declared dead at the scene. A man pulled from the wreckage was transported to WakeMed in Raleigh.
Their names have not yet been released.
The northbound Silver Star was heading inbound to Cary's Amtrak station on a route between Miami, Fla., and New York City. Moran says none of the 291 passengers on board the train was injured.

I think the local council should hire you
Very nice. Love the crisp detail, but also the '1960s' palette.
Hands up once again in apology - I am *awful* at keeping up with this wonderful community, but also my own cartography - which I cower behind as a lousy excuse. But I hope all of you are keeping well.
I finally managed to get my teeth into another project, which is what has selfishly brought me back. I still hope to go back to sci-fi and raypunk mapping some day soon, but I recently decided to tackle transit maps. Keeping things quite real, I decided to redraw my hometown's bus route map, as their own offerings have come to annoy me as much as their timetables. Not that I can claim my own effort as being good, but at least I can glean my own information from it. Still, I'd be a fool if I didn't take the opportunity to learn a little about the medium while I'm at it!
A larger version is available to view at my DeviantART gallery.
It's been a while since I had to juggle map elements based on real, fixed geography (though because of the way the roads and routes are laid out, some changes had to be accommodated, meaning my map is not strictly accurate), and longer still since my colour scheme had been set in advance. Stagecoach's key services all have distinct colours, meaning I was basically limited to pastel yellow or green for the background, and I can't say either one agrees with my personal tastes. Still, I hope the map is legible enough, and is not unpleasant to the eye. It was all just quite a new experience to draw.
I think the local council should hire you
Very nice. Love the crisp detail, but also the '1960s' palette.
Thank you! I wasn't aware of the 1960s palette - I just went for colours which seemed not to clash - but I think you're right. Seems fitting, I suppose, given that Basingstoke is a London Overspill town and so was radically transformed around that time.
Crumbs, right down to the style of labelling and my font family - impressive! Well-spotted, and thank you. I didn't really have any influence in mind, but it's fascinating to see where previous maps have obviously had their way with me. Sadly your link to the Zurich map has gotten lost somewhere, though.
Nicely done Sinnyo. Good to see around again. Hope to see more of your work in the near future.

Friday, October 17, 2008. (AP) -- Tom Brady has undergone a second procedure in 10 days on his injured left knee, according to a published report.
The Boston Globe reported Friday that the New England Patriots quarterback had the procedure Wednesday for an infection in his left knee that was operated on Oct. 6.
Brady's agent, Donald Yee, did not respond to a phone call or an e-mail. Calls to the Patriots and the doctor who performed the first surgery in Los Angeles, Neal ElAttrache, were not returned.
Brady suffered the season-ending injury in the opener against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Computer enthusiasts at The National Museum of Computing, home of the rebuilt Colossus electronic computer have completed another remarkable restoration project, rebooting the Harwell Dekatron – otherwise known as the Witch – making it the world's oldest original working computer.
The team at the museum, led Kevin Murrell has spent three years restoring the Harwell Dekatron, having first come across the machine as a teenager.
"In 1951 the Harwell Dekatron was one of perhaps a dozen computers in the world, and since then it has led a charmed life surviving intact while its contemporaries were recycled or destroyed," said Murrell.
The Harwell Dekatron was originally used in 1951 to check atomic calculations, and while it could take up to 10 minutes to multiply two numbers together, it could chug away for days on end, producing error-free results.
Weighing in at 2.5 tonne, sporting 828 flashing Dekatron valves, 480 relays and a bank of paper tape readers, the 2x6x1m Harwell Dekatron is world away from today's supercomputers – or even the smartphones and tablets we carry.
"To see it in action is to watch the inner workings of a computer - something that is impossible on the machines of today," said Murrell.
By 1957, the Harwell Atomic Energy Research Establishment had no more need for its Dekatron computer, and gave it to the Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Technical College - where it was renamed the Witch (Wolverhampton Instrument for Teaching Computation from Harwell).
The National Museum of Computing, located at Bletchley Park, is home to the largest collection of functional historic computers in Europe, including a rebuilt Colossus, the world's first electronic semi-programmable computer.

Hitler Exhibit: A Missed Opportunity

The exhibition on Hitler that opened in Berlin on Friday has merely tapped into existing fascination with the Führer rather than break new ground in exploring German history. It is a missed opportunity because Germany needs to find a new approach towards confronting its past.

Batman: Arkham City for PC Delayed Againby Craig Getting on November 8, 2011 2:27 PM EST
- Posted in
- Gaming
- Warner Bros.
PC stalwarts will have to wait a little bit longer to guide the Dark Knight through Batman: Arkham City. Warner has confirmed to VG247 that Arkham City will release for PC in North America on November 22, in Australia on November 23, in France on November 24, and remaining European territories on November 25. In addition to the regular retail and digital outlets, Arkham City will also be available in EA's newly-launched Origin store.
Arkham City's PC release was first delayed back in September, pushing it to November 18, a full month behind the console versions. No reason has been given for either delay, but Warner's calling this the "definitive" version, complete with support for 3D, PhysX, and DirectX 11. Perhaps they've taken extra time to polish all the bells and whistles.
No word yet on what DLC will be available for PC at launch. The Nightwing content is already out on consoles, and the Robin pack (previously a preorder bonus) is scheduled for release on November 22.

Area police officer dies after months in coma
Monday, August 25, 2014
New Bloomfield police officer Micheal Tufts, 25, died about 11 p.m. Saturday after being in a coma as the result of a 2012 drunk driving accident.
Tufts' vehicle was hit by Spencer Gordon of Columbia, who was 20 at the time, on Providence Road near the Hinkson Creek Bridge in Columbia. Gordon, who was arrested for manslaughter and driving while intoxicated, drove his Volkswagen Beetle southbound and collided with Tufts' Ford F-150, which had two other passengers — Michelle Morrow, 24, of Columbia and John W. Kalogeris, 21, of Columbia — inside.
Tufts was in critical condition at University Hospital after the crash. Morrow was killed in the accident and Kalogeris was injured.
Gordon and his passenger, Kyle M. Turner, 22, of Columbia were not injured.
In June, Gordon was found guilty of first-degree involuntary manslaughter and two counts of second-degree assault. He was sentenced to seven years in the Missouri Department of Corrections.
Two visitation services will be held for Tufts: 4-8 p.m. Friday and 9-11 a.m. Saturday at Memorial Funeral Home in Columbia. He will be buried in his uniform, according to New Bloomfield Police Chief Chris Hammann. Hammann said he is trying to arrange a police escort for Tufts that will go from Columbia to Bellefontaine where Tufts will be buried.
Tufts worked for the New Bloomfield Police Department for four months before the crash.
After the crash, Sgt. Justin Davidson, who was with the New Bloomfield Police Department in 2012, said Tufts was "eager to succeed" in his first job in law enforcement.
"He volunteered to put in a lot more time working as a police officer than expected," Davidson said.
"When I told him four months ago he had been approved for the job, he was so happy."

Paul Versus Joe
Paul Krugman (PK) and Joe Scarborough (JS) have been having an on-air feud of late. The issue is debt, spending and inflation . The two have been going at each other on their blogs: Here, Here, Here and Here.
The bottom line is that PK thinks debt is no problem at all; nothing should be done with spending, and absolutely nothing should be done with America's entitlement programs. JS, sees it differently. He points to the country's $60T of unfunded liabilities, another decade of trillion dollar deficits and the very real chance that high inflation is the outcome.
Atlantic magazine (Egad!) has jumped into this fray with both feet (Link). The folks at Atlantic love PK, and they too see no problems at all. The Mag did its best to take JS down with his silly concerns.
In defense of its position, The Atlantic offered up the following chart on the 10-year TIPS implied forecast for inflation:
The Atlantic had this to say about the market's inflation outlook:
Core PCE inflation averaged 1.9 percent over this period, while 10-year breakevens, which tell us market expectations of future inflation, averaged 2.18 percent.
Yes, inflation expectations averaged 2.18%, but the only relevant question is - What are those expectations today?" The TIPS spread is now pricing in 2.56% inflation (15% above the ten-year average) The folks at Atlantic looked at the TIPS info and concluded:
If markets feared future inflation in the face of mounting debt, they sure had a funny way of showing it.
I look at the TIPS chart and come away with a different take than the Atlantic. What I see isn't so "funny". We are approaching the highs for the past decade. The past few years have seen a steady increase in expectations. If you drew a trend line for the past two years, it would point you to an upside breakout for inflation expectations.
What is the main factor pushing up inflation expectations? It's the Fed, of course. The stated policy of Bernanke to increase inflation. The Fed is currently at Full Speed with money creation. There is no end in sight for QE and ZIRP. It's not just the US that is pushing the inflation button. Japan and England have an oar in this water. China is on a tear. I think the EU is not far away from its own QE experiment. Yet the Atlantic concludes the opposite.
The Atlantic should know that it's foolish to Fight the Fed. The Fed is going to win; higher inflation is a sure thing. The TIPS market is the best indication of this. I think it's the Atlantic that could use a lesson on markets and the economy.
- advertisements -
This is the same Paul Krugman who back circa 2002 pleaded for the Fed to create a housing bubble, literally a housing bubble, to help pull the U.S. out of recession. The bubble that was created, as per his desire, ended up destroying or crippling larges swaths of the U.S. economy. I'm sure he'd try to backpedal and say he didn't want the banks to commit titanic amounts of fraud. But when you plead for a huge part of the economy to be overvalued, your pleading for misallocation of capital and practically begging for fraud to take place.
His present call for ignoring the future implications of a policy is similar to that childish call to do something that's temporarily pleasant a decade ago. How do guys like him and James Fallows who, in 1989 just before the Nikkei crashed, predicted Japan would nearly take over the world, how do they retain their jobs while being stupendously wrong?
salvation is permaculture and gold
And silver and thorium powered molten salt nuclear reactors.
In the 1980's we had a Fed Chairman, Paul Volker, who decided that inflation was a problem (they factored food and oil then) and sent interest to 20%. It crippled the ag sector for decades, Now the ag sector is booming and the most valuable asset this country has relative to the rest of the world. Now all the family farmers are gone and large corporate farms will export hugh priced food while the poor starve. Sort of teminds you of Ireland in the mid 1800's.
The Irish didn't have guns. Now we do, good luck exporting all of that.
No inflation here today folks. Nothing to see. Move along. Markets are 100% accurate in their forecasts and have never surprised anyone. Go home and watch some TV, but not that JS dodo who has no economics Phd.
I'm not sure Krugman believes the debt is no problem, he just believes employment and growth are more important to the American people at this juncture. He may also believe something else that I happen to believe, that the economy requires more debt, so it should be put to better use than just lining rich guys pockets.
The economy requires more debt? To state such drivel in a public forum either means you're quite brave, or abysmally stupid. You are probably both. Your clear adulation of Krugman gives your bona vides as stupid. And exactly what is to be put to better use "than just lining rich guys pockets". Debt? The economy? What? Please explain your trenchant wit.
Good grief! America needs better economists.
Economiss is more like it! Swing and a miss ...
If longer bonds are bid up in price there is no more appreciation to be had and rates are minuscule. Any/all yields are in the past. That's not a 'bond call' but common sense. There is no place for bonds to go but down.
There are other risks to bonds besides inflation: duration mismatches for instance. With opaque derivatives markets it is hard to know if hedges are solutions or a (massive) problem.
The entire US Treasury market is like a large plate spinning on top of a very tall, skinny pole.
Krug doesn't grasp diminished returns. $100 tn more debt will not produce anywhere near $100 tn in GDP. Maybe fifty cents ... maybe negative GDP ... as was the case Q4!
Meanwhile, there is diminishing private sector lending to the government, if that isn't a gigantic red flag there is no such thing as a red flag.
The same time the Fed is driving out the private sector lenders it's making explicit guarantees of bank deposits (liabilities) of $40+ BILLION every SINGLE MONTH. Why is Bernanke guaranteeing bank deposits? Is there something about the banks we should know about?
Bernanke is also making $40+ billion guarantees of mortgage securities. Somehow this is supposed to indicate a healthy mortage market and a real estate 'recovery'. Instead it is another red flag, that the entire market is on life support.
These dudes are going to be in real trouble when the markets unwind ... no more bullets in the magazine, only flags.
Official inflation numbers are totally bogus. Anything referncing them is meaningless. TIPS are a joke because they use the vastly understated inflation numbers.
REAL inflation is at least DOUBLE the official number. The official Fed policy of pursuing '2%' inflation is laughable because that meast at least 5%.
Your money is losing value at a rapid pace between inflation and the 0% interest you're collecting on any savings.
I am in San Diego this week and took a look at one of those old fashioned things called a "map". Geeze, but there are a lot of military installations and things dedicated to past and present military here?
The more I think about it, the degradation of society and therefore likely the degradation of the human soul is not so much about what we have, but what we do to get it. In that respect neither Paul nor Joe have it right. They are talking about the wrong thing. It is not where the money comes from (if money is a vehicle to get the things we need), it is what we do to get the money that matters. The happiest people and nations are not those that are the wealthiest or have the most things. It is the people and nation that at the end of the day can look in the mirror and think, I/we really worked hard and accomplished something of value.
"Work keeps us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need." from Candide by Voltaire
Obviously, if people do not have work and instead have too much liesure, they are bored, fill their time with vice and often have needs that they require to be filled by others for them to survive. It is for this reason more than others that employment is a requisite of a stable society (and lack of work makes it unstable) and healthy psychie. Most likely it does not matter what the work is. It follows then that those who seek liesure seek the loss of themselves. Pity the parasites for they can never be happy with themselves. I am a happy slave and am not worried about people taking things from me, certainly not money, because they do not understand the things that make me happy.
i've been in SD a lot more weeks, and i can say most of those military installations are mothballed, including a great deal of that rather large piece of real estate at Camp Pendelton. (the Marines lost their share of mission statement during Iraq, and Afghanistan) they train in 29 palms pretty much. the RE market is redhot! homes at 1 million or more!! so the 1% will come here [romney has a home in La Jolla!] but you sound like you would fit right in, as many do, with little but the sunshine, the water, and the open city.
I lived in an enclave of San Diego for 5 years.
Only those who have lived and worked amongst a military & defense contractor corridor/area can appreciate how spectactularly the American Taxpayer is getting reamed relentlessly in the ass by spending that is so wasteful that it would make Bernie Madoff angry.
In the '80's as a lowly E-5 supply Petty Officer for my division, I was told to spend our whole budget every time, even if I didn't need it, that way we would not lose our budget.
This article is not about what makes people happy, who cares?
Heck, a masochist is happy with pain!
It is about "thou shall not steal".
Krugman is a criminal.
He argues that "theft" is ok.
US dollars are not money, they are pieces of paper signed by a government bureaucrat.
They have value but it is being systematically destroyed by the Federal Reserve's countefeiting.
A financial system which is built on theft will collapse. That's the problem.

"Paul" vs. "Joe"
Bruce, ya gotta' be kidding all of us.
Joe has no ability (nor inclination) to articulate anything au contraire avec paul.
and Mika serves to kill anything non-keynsian.

Although it seems that you are accurately reporting the views of those in the path of "super storm sandy" How's that working out for all y'all?
From the headline I thought it was Joe six pack.
Debt is no problem... as long as somebody wants it:
"Ugliest Danish Banks Find No Buyers in Toxic Asset Trap"
Doesn't Ben monetize TIPS?
The biggest crimes are done in broad daylight.
Don't abolish the Fed. Exterminate it.
The Atlantic hasn't had anything sensible to say since the cover displayed those wonderful seasonal water colors..., seems like a hundred years ago. They never knew a damn thing about economics. It was an OK literary rag, until they sold their soul to the Devil and began the usual Marxist political crap.
I remember a series of painfully stupid pieces about what the IMF and World Bank were doing to Peru, Paraguay and such. Shit that would bore a buzzard to death.
They are dying, Bruce, like all the New York, Jew run hate media. May they rot in hell.
"Roots of Muslim Rage." I'll never forget the article or the cover. Had to have been...thirty years ago? Long way back. It's no surprise that they're backing The Kroogman. "Keynes was right when it concerned the War. Only...it was true with the Americans." And many on this side of the Atlantic still pine for the Keynsian "bliss" that was World War II vis a vis the USA. For the record "Freedom ain't free" is the best expression ever. Besides here where are all those freedom talkers anyways?
i have to agree with you, and a TIP is a note. the principle is not at risk, but people also buy them for the same reason they buy gold, its a decent hedge against deflation. its not hard to imagine asset deflation with a constant or rising CPI. if the CPI were to go nominally to say 3.5% thats a 75% premium to short term paper at 2%. the FED will be more than happy to keep rates below CPI for an extended period, (to prevent money velocity from going to zero) as long as they can keep those numbers low. if deflation really takes hold they will surcharge notes. CPI won't come down as fast as rates, which is backdoor inflation, the kind you have when wages and personal income collapse, but the Fed props up home prices to protect their MBS paper. more (or is that less) to come
The Atlantic is a subversive "jewish" publication dedicated to the destruction of any and all vestiges of America
Most assuredly White America
They are a true Fifth Column that should be dealt with via massive truckbombs
I find it sarcastically hilarious that anyone would use TIPS to demonstrate successful economic policy, since TIPS now guarantee loss in purchasing power of your money for up to 10 years duration, and that's before the government taxes you on the phony phantom inflationary income and the bogus CPI index that it's based on. What a joke these people are.
Now, if they told me Krugman was actually a homeless man claiming he was a leading economist, that I would believe.
pay attention to what Bruce is saying, its the spread between CPI (expectations) and ZIRP dominated rate structure. with the Fed inflating assets, these expectations (even at a premium of 15%) are pinned way too low, and at no risk to your priniciple ? (Bernanke does not like TIPS, does he dislike them enough to discontinue them?)
Bernanke can't discontinue TIPS, but the Treasury Secy can. Bernanke is buying nearly the entire issue of TIPS anyway, so what's the problem?
i agree with you to a point, which is this, what is the collateral damage he is doing to inflation expectations. but the inflation argument is DOA, its deflation they fear, and deflation with even modest price inflation will make their job difficult. one rule of thumb is do the opposite of where the FED is trying to direct money [riskier assets in this case] and you can chase the stock market but all you're going to get is the rate of monetary inflation, with plenty of downside risk. the best advice in the 30's was take your money out of the bank and bury it in your back yard. no financial adviser will ever repeat that, but its true.
Here's something more to think about...
QE's 1 and 2 were initiated when 10-year breakeven trends were clearly on their way towards zero.
With the announcment of QE 3 this past fall, 10-year breakevens were bumping up against those mutli-year highs of 2.5%. This is a clear departure from previous policy.
The FOMC isn't necessarily fearing imminent deflation... they're opening the liquidity gates in order to get to higher nominal GDP growth and allowing inflation to run (if they're successful). They're essentially targeting one 'convenient' mandate (employment), while temporarily ignoring the other (stable prices).
Obviously for them, it's the lesser of two evils... and us peons really have no say in the matter.
I just wish the direction towards which they directed that liquidity was put to more efficient use.
Most homeless are down on their luck,whereas Krugman is down on his knees,
and thoroughly enjoying it.
winnie, might give you "most" but counter with "significant others are taking advantage.
I'm with Ben Franklin on this.
- Ned
{here in the Commonwealth, especially after Granny Warren's election, the fallout is that >20% of the welfare recipients are fraudulent. That would be on the face of their applications.
- Ned
Warren is native American and therefore above reproach. Move along.
+1 on the point about TIPS. What a fraud of a construct and vehicle....
As to Krugman, he's quite good at exercising a selective memory and getting his disciples/cult (literal) to pay no heed to and/or forget his catastrophic prognostications of his past (recent and distant).
For the well-intentioned amongst us, who wish to see honesty in all things, including economic debate, prevail, I suggest comparing and contrasting Paul Krugman & Karl Gunnar Myrdal to see how economists are far more helpful when they're not so dogmatic (as is the case regarding Myrdal's contributions, since he wasn't so hopelessy tied down to some rigid construct).
http://stefanmikarlsson.blogspot.com/2009/06/rewinding-tape-on-paul-krugman.htmlRewinding The Tape On Paul Krugman
In my last post, I should have perhaps included this revealing (given his current denial of the effects of budget deficits on interest rates) from one of his 2004 columns:
"For many years, advocates of tax cuts have insisted that the normal laws of supply and demand don't apply to the bond market, and that government borrowing — unlike borrowing by families or businesses — doesn't affect interest rates. But there's no argument among serious, nonideological economists. For example, a textbook by Gregory Mankiw, now the president's chief economist, declares — in italics — that "when the government reduces national saving by running a budget deficit, the interest rate rises."
Krugman was entirely right about that "there's no argument among serious, nonideological economists" part (Though it is incorrect to suggest that all advocates of tax cuts believe in that or that only advocates of tax cuts believe it(he himself is an example of that)). It's too bad that he has however revealed himself to be anything but [a]"serious, nonideological economist".
Via Lew Rockwell, I also see another interesting quote from Krugman, from 2002.
"To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble."
If you think the quote has been taken out of context, do read the entire article. It is clear there that the only misgiving he expresses about the strategy of creating a housing bubble is that he doubted (incorrectly, as everyone now presumably knows) that it would be possible to create the allegedly desirable housing bubble.
The now experienced effects of Krugman's 2002 policy recommendation should give you a hint of the effects of Krugman's current policy recomendations.
UPDATE: Now Krugman tries to spin his way out from the latter quote, writing:
"Guys, read it again. It wasn't a piece of policy advocacy, it was just economic analysis. What I said was that the only way the Fed could get traction would be if it could inflate a housing bubble. And that's just what happened."
That excuse is simply not plausible. Is Krugman saying that he, a man renowned for advocating Keynesian recession-fighting policies, saying that he opposed a policy he thought was needed to fight a recession? Give me a break.
While he may not have formally written "I advocate it", he didn't in any way suggest that it would be undesirable, and given his known preference of advocating policies that reduces the severity of recession in the short-term, he can't argue that he didn't advocate a policy that would do so by saying it would do so, unless he specifically argued against it.
Why oh why do people bother rebutting sophists? Is everyone really this stupid?
Krugman's name should elicit nothing but laughter when mentioned, but no, people are too dumb to do that, instead choosing to engage his ideas, which only gives them credibility (regardless if they're "destroyed" by logic).
Never wrestle with pigs! NEVER!!!!
I wonder, would Mr. Karlsson refute Hulk Hogan's economic rants? Of course not. Yet, IMO, Krugman is a far bigger clown than Hogan, yet Karlsson 's not smart enough to dismiss him as a charlatan and be done with the subject.
Anyone who engages him only further empowers him. Why? Because he's not practicing economics, but sophistry. His audience will not bother to read any rebuttals that discredit him, as they could've already done that with their own reading, had they cared.
I swear, some days I feel like I'm the only one paying attention.
"Why oh why do people bother rebutting sophists? Is everyone really this stupid?"
well, how would you answer that question? I'd even challenge the assembled multitude to answer the question:
"what is a sophist?"
I'm now going to pop the popcorn and will return to be entirely entertained!
- Ned
Now if they were just a bunch of naked guys hot waxing poetic, then you'd have a show!
Economics Brazilian style.
however, you, sir, have established your credentials as a learned poster.
Krugman looks like he had his teeth pulled for better action.
Joe is a sell-out and PK is quite simply a partisan hack and a liberal fruitcake.
Our society is economically illiterate.
So, what's new?
"liberal fruitcake"?? someone needs to read the big book of cliches for some new ideas
blackmailed by jews.....hence the short leash and overall mealy effemininity
what an idiot....we might as well add to the list of blame for everything as follows: George Bush, climate change, aliens and Jews. What is wrong with you ? Your hate and several others found on this website is unconscionable. It oozes from you and needs to be dealt with...either by cyanide or a therapist.

Why should the strength and growth of the nation's 100,000 cultural arts institutions be a national priority?
The answer is multi-layered. Not only do these institutions help to "define who we are as a people" and offer insight into our societal past, present and future, they are a positive driving force of our economy.
According to a 2007 Arts & Economic Prosperity report, the arts have an annual total economic impact of $166 billion, not to mention the 5.7 million jobs and nearly $30 billion in tax revenue the industry generates as cited in the June 8, 2009 issue of Time Magazine. In Boca Raton alone, the annual economic impact of the collective non-profit cultural institutions is $94.7 million, according to the 2007 Economic Impact Study conducted by the Boca Raton Cultural Consortium.
Furthermore, countless studies have demonstrated the positive educational benefits for students. A large majority of the country's top technology-based CEOs report that having various arts disciplines as an integral part of their scholastic backgrounds allowed them to expand cognitive thinking and rise to top positions within their organizations.
One subject that has scarcely been acknowledged in recent times is the value of cultural arts exchange. And as recent world events have demonstrated, it is imperative that the United States regain moral ground and restore our international standing as a world leader. This can, in part, be accomplished through further participation in global cultural exchange. This exchange has the ability to remind us that we are all a part of one human family. It also has the potential to go a long way toward establishing greater understanding and commonality among divergent cultures.
Our nation's well-being depends upon the positive impact produced by the arts sector, both domestically and internationally.

Exciting news! We have just opened up the second floor Permanent Collection galleries with Camera Work: Photography from the Permanent Collection. This is a re-installation of the permanent collection which includes 150 works from the beginnings of photography in the late 1800s up until the current day.
The Museum does not generally put out a lot of marketing material on installations of Permanent Collection exhibits so you will not see any advertisements. Regardless, we are quite proud of the breadth of our photography collection and we invite you to come upstairs and take a look.
Even if you only have a passing knowledge of the history of photography, you will see names that you know like: Eugène Atget, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Alfred Stieglitz, Brassaï, Man Ray, Andreas Feininger (a personal favorite), Sebastião Salgado, Robert Frank and John Waters. Besides these celebrities you will find a multitude of lesser-known genre-changing photographers. The new discoveries that you will make are extraordinary. Our photography collection is one of our strongest disciplines in terms of collecting. In just one gallery you will see all of these revolutionary photographers and many more.
I would like to focus on one photographer in particular, Helen Levitt. We have only one Helen Levitt photograph, New York, but it is indicative of the style which brought her great renown. Helen Levitt practiced street photography in the late 1930s and early 1940s in New York City, capturing the lives of the children that spent their days playing outside in the neighborhoods, most notably Spanish Harlem.
Helen Levitt utilized a non-intrusive style, allowing the children to scamper about without any interference on her part besides the occasional snap of her Leica's shutter. Although not an outspoken proponent of either Communism or Socialism, she took these photos as a type of social commentary about the poverty which surrounded her in the city.
New York shows a baby toddling across a wet city street towards a smiling woman standing with her arm outstretched to receive the small child. In the background one sees a group of children jostling each other on the steps of a neighboring building while a fire hydrant spews water into the street.
As one of the earliest female photographers to obtain a one-person show (Helen Levitt: Photographs of Children at the Museum of Modern Art, curated by Edward Steichen) it was saddening to read of her passing.
But it also reminds us of how much progress has been made in terms of both women artists and photography, which can be read as a kind of photo-diary on the walls of the gallery.

The Boca Raton Museum of Art takes its role as a cultural institution quite seriously. We believe we provide an important service to the community and wish to uphold the values and traditions that the Museum has held since the first seeds for the BRMA were planted in the late 1940s.
But we also understand the importance of adapting to change. The Internet is clearly the dominant force in communication and the Museum has embraced new developments in online resources.
The talk of the day concerns the proliferation of social networking sites, like Twitter and Facebook. When used as a communications tool, these sites enable people and institutions to interact in new and meaningful ways. Nonprofits are discovering - in droves - the advantages of being a part of the online community.
The Museum recently joined Twitter and has increased its presence on Facebook. The two resources allow us to give quick, informative updates to our Membership and to the local (and global) community. It also helps us to keep up on current events at other cultural institutions, arts funding news and significant changes in the art world.
Perspectives pushes this evolution in communication one step further. An active blog, with frequent posts and a lively comments section is a conduit for two-way information. It opens up the dialogue between the institution (The Museum) and art lovers from throughout the world, allowing the two to interact in a way that might not be possible in the "real" world.
As such, we strongly encourage you to read this blog and comment on what you see. If you come across a news story that you think would be an interesting topic to explore, please send it to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Though we wholeheartedly encourage open discussion, we have the utmost respect for our audience and intend to keep the blog as focused on meaningful communication. As such, profanity, "spamming" and personal attacks will have no place at Perspectives.
We look forward to telling you more about the Museum and hearing what you have to say.
By Tricia Woolfenden, Communications Coordinator
The Boca Raton Museum of Art is excited to join the blogosphere. This blog will allow the museum to give a more personalized and timely view into our collections, exhibits, programming, people and events. We are very interested in visitor feedback, so please don't be shy about commenting on posts.
We would love to talk with you! We hope to promote discussion and generate awareness of both the permanent collection and the traveling temporary exhibitions. Besides discussing what we have to offer, we hope to reflect our interest and response to events and ideas that impact the global art world.
For those of you unfamiliar with the BRMA, I would like to give you a little insight into our institution. We are a small collecting museum located in Boca Raton, Florida.
Our primary focus is Modern Masters of European art, such as Pablo Picasso, the Fauves, Maurice Brazil Prendergast, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, and Jules Pascin, among others. In addition to these greats we have a modest contemporary art collection with pieces by John Waters, Robert Rauschenberg, Joan Mitchell, Nancy Graves, and Julio Larraz.
On the second floor, you'll find two galleries full of African and Pre-Columbian artworks dating as far back as 5 B.C. The Museum also houses art from all major art-producing areas of Sub-Saharan Africa as well as pottery vessels, finely modeled clay tomb figures, animal and human effigies, and utilitarian and ritual objects representing cultural and artistic production throughout Mesoamerica, west Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Yucatan and Honduras.
Almost all of our great collection was made possible by the generosity of donors. It's wonderful that so many people think it important to donate their family treasures to the BRMA so that everyone in our community may learn about our shared past. We are quite proud to act as custodians of culture here, and hope to later post some information about how, exactly, we go about caring for our collection.
The museum hosts multiple programs, both for Members as well as non-Members. For example, like many museums, we have openings for each new exhibition where Members can preview the new artwork, enjoy some cocktails and hors d'ouevres and mingle with one another.
Oftentimes, the artist whose work is showing will attend the reception or possibly someone intimately linked to the artist may visit in their stead. For our most recent opening, Cleve Gray: Man and Nature and Andrew Stevovich: The Truth about Lola, Mr. Stevovich visited the Members opening with his wife, his muse and inspiration for many of his paintings.
Mr.Stevovich and Cleve Gray's widow, Francine du Plessix-Gray both attended the opening receptions. We are always so pleased to be able to act as a bridge between our audience and the artists that we show.
Besides these opportunities offered to our Members and Patrons, we also afforded the general public a chance to view a new installation with our recent exhibition, Rabarama in the Park. Down the center of Mizner Park (right outside the Museum's door) we installed four large outdoor sculptures by the Italian artist Rabarama for the public to enjoy. They were intriguing androgynous figures with constellations of symbols sculpted all over their bodies, some reminiscent of DNA double helixes and puzzle pieces, creating thoughts about the interconnectedness of humankind. The installation of the sculptures was quite fascinating to watch as well!
Images from the installation and exhibition of Rabarama In the Park.
Our Education Department offers a comprehensive roster of programming for local schools and tour groups as well and we are planning on addressing some of those exciting events in future blog posts.
We've seen how other blogs act as a conduit for useful discourse and information between institutions and individuals, and we are excited to join the local - and global - discussion. There is so much more we would like to share with you, so please check back often to see what else is in store. We hope you feel inclined to participate in our discussions too, because your input can only help us to grow as a community resource and non-profit institution. In the meantime, here are other blogs that have found ways to include their internet and local communities in all manner of arts happenings:

University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) student Brianna Ramirez is pledging to stand for 26 hours for the university's 12th annual dance marathon, which will raise awareness for pediatric HIV/AIDS. The student-led Pediatric AIDS Coalition is organizing the event, which will take place February 16 and 17 at the Ackerman Grand Ballroom, 308 Westwood Plaza in Los Angeles. Each contestant for the marathon must raise $250 to participate; all raised funds will go to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, the UCLA AIDS Institute, and Project Kindle -- a free camp for children affected by AIDS. To date, the organizing committee has more than 1,000 dancers signed up for the event. The organization has raised $3 million since the event's inception.

After nearly five years, Daisies & Daydreams, a home decor and gift store in Burning Tree Plaza in Duluth, is closing.
While we're told the shop's last day isn't set, it will be by the end of February when the lease is up. But with its homespun, cottage-style merchandise going for 20 percent to 60 percent off, chances are the store will run out of merchandise and close before then.
Tracy Hansen first opened the specialty shop at 2510 Maple Grove Road in 2008, before moving the store across the street to Burning Tree Plaza two years ago.
Hansen declined to talk to me about the decision to close. But in the business's blog, she had the following comments on its one year anniversary in 2009:
"… I truly need to say a big thank you to everyone who helped me make this dream a reality. It starts all the way back to family and friends that helped from the beginning stages and stuck by me to this day! I have a great staff that took a strong interest in the store and has worked hard for me. I really appreciate the level of commitment they have given. Most definitely, I need to thank all the people that have stopped by to see the store, have referred family and friends and have come back again and again! I have enjoyed every minute of this past year. I only hope that I will have many more to come! …. I look forward to bringing many more fun, exciting and beautiful pieces of merchandise to you to make your home shine and allow you to brighten someone's day with that unique gift."

Mining & Metals Company
Antam's main gold and silver production is sourced from its gold mine at Pongkor, West Java. Indications of gold deposits at Pongkor were discovered by Antam's Geology Unit in 1981, and production commenced in May 1994 after Antam secured the mining license in 1992.
As Antam's main objective is to enhance shareholder value by lowering costs while profitably expanding operations in a sustainable manner, we aim to sustain growth through reliable expansion projects, strategic alliances, acquisitions, increasing quality reserves and adding value by moving away from selling raw materials and increasing processing activities.
As one of the biggest state-owned mining companies in Indonesia, Antam always shares the welfare to the nation through tax, royalty and other non-tax state revenue (PNBP) as stipulated in the existing regulations. In 2010 Antam estimates higher contribution to the state from tax and non tax contributions in line with higher profits. Antam hopes that through its contribution to the state.

Mozart: Piano Concertos
Mozart's Concerto K595 is usually thought of as an autumnal, even a valedictory work, and it's true that it has a peculiarly mellow quality. But although Mozart entered it in his running catalogue of works in January 1791, less than a year before he died, he probably composed its first two movements as early as 1788, around the same time as the Coronation Concerto K537. Angela Hewitt takes a much less nostalgic approach to the slow movement than most pianists. But while I wouldn't always want to hear a lingering performance of the kind Britten and Curzon gave (theirs took nine minutes, as opposed to Hewitt's six), it's difficult not to feel that in Hewitt's hands the piece lacks expressive depth. Maria João Pires and Claudio Abbado are only marginally slower, yet they manage to imbue the music with a good deal more poetry. No less controversial is Hewitt's account of the finale, where, in an attempt to counteract the traditionally carefree view of the music, she has produced a performance that's distinctly short of rhythmic vitality.
Much more of a success is the sparkling G major Concerto K453, where Hewitt displays her pianistic talents to full advantage. Particularly enjoyable are the concluding variations, with their opera buffa-style coda, in which she seems completely at one with the alert playing of the Mantua Chamber Orchestra under Hannu Lintu.

Oak Run resident reported missing
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 11:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 11:48 a.m.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office has issued an alert that Thomas Edward Mascaro, 64, who lives in the Oak Run subdivision, is missing. Authorities said he is not considered to be in danger.
Mascaro is a white male who stands 5-foot, 8-inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds. He has gray hair, a beard and brown eyes.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Mascaro has possibly been missing for two weeks. His home was checked and deputies found his car in the garage and his driver's license, debit card and cash inside the home.
Mascaro was born in Pennsylvania and reportedly has been trying to contact his brother for the last four months. At the same time, other siblings have been trying to contact Mascaro by phone and computer, with no results, according to a news release.
Mascaro has been known to walk trails on the Greenway. A relative told investigators Mascaro will sometimes travel the trails all the way to Pruitt Trailhead and may walk sections of the trail all the way to Ocklawaha.
Anyone who knows of Mascaro's whereabouts is urged to call 911.

Stacking Keisel
So I'm going to be showing Keisel at least once or twice in the future when he is ready. I'm brand new to this and my breeder is very excited that I'm going to try it out at least. I received the Top Pick male however the breeder is not co-owned with me. I understand at the higher level its going to be hard for me to compete as being a novice and IF I were serious I probably should have co-owned but I decided against that. I'm going to do this for fun and see where Keisel takes me!
Anyways, I've been practicing with Keisel on stacking him, however I don't have a table so I'm using Plastic Storage boxes for now lol. It'll do since he's still small enough. I would like advice on what you see in this picture and where I can improve when stacking him. I want him to be comfortable with standing there without food eventually so I'm practicing with him almost every other day for a few minutes.
I've also attached a picture of Keisel following me around the pool, captured this photo and thought it came out pretty good. He's not completely off the ground but pretty close! What do you guys think? How is his reach?
Also attached a photo of his side profile to see his head and stop. Thanks everyone for all your constructive criticism ahead of time! I really appreciate it :-)
In all these pictures he's between 8-9 weeks old.

|The Following User Says Thank You to Bentleysmom For This Useful Post:
You have him stacked decent, but his rear legs need to come back a little. His hocks need to be perpendicular to the ground. He has good reach, needs a little more drive from what I am seeing in photos. Looks like his front might be stronger than his rear. Good stop IMO, but I would like to see more length of neck.
What did Candi think of him? Did they evaluate him? Did they tell you what the pros and cons were of him?
He is a cutie for sure! Enter some puppy matches... Tons of fun and relaxed setting!

|The Following User Says Thank You to kfayard For This Useful Post:
I don't agree that if you were serious you needed to co-own. Many breeders will not let a pick puppy go on full registration without a co-own agreement, but not having it will not prevent him from doing well in conformation, IMO. It will probably be less dramatic for you, since co-owns can be complicated at times.
I am a relative newbie to conformation, with Jack as my first conformation dog, but I have a little bit of experience. It is hard to stack puppies. I would suggest something other than the plastic lids because there is not enough room for his back feet to be placed correctly at this point, and obviously it will get worse as he grows. When I have practiced with my puppies I try to get them to pull themselves up and over their front, usually food held out farther away from them and brought back quickly after they are doing what you want (if that makes any sense?) helps. I also will hold their tail and very slightly pull straight back on it to cause them to pull forward.

I don't understand, just because he isn't co-owned, does that mean that your breeder won't help you to show him?
Why would it be harder for a novice than a dog co-owned by a pro?
By the way, he is beautiful, or should I say handsome. Great photos. I especially like the one of him trotting along side the pool with his head up and someone holding a treat for him.

text: The Newtonians: worldwide cult ditches iPhone for Apple's distant past Technology 06 August 13 by Cade Metz The Newton Museum According to Steve Capps, Apple sold about half a million Newtons, and at least a few hundred are still out there -- on desks next to PCs, plugged into network routers, strapped onto bicycles, advertised on eBay. But if eBay is any indication, their numbers are dwindling, probably because their hardware is wearing out. Lloyd Conway says that prices are going up, a clear indication that supply is shrinking.Outside of Grant Hutchinson's massive Newton collection, the most notable stash belongs to former Apple man Walter Smith. A few years ago, he bought "The Newton Museum" from another collector, and today, he proudly displays it on the web. It spans not just the handhelds themselves, but also accessories, software, manuals, and boxes. Yes, newer devices have eclipsed the Newton in so many technical ways. But they can't give you nostalgia. "An Android sent this," reads the signature on an email from Ron Parker. "Don't tell my Newton."In 2007, when Lewis Miller turned up at a software developer meetup centered around the brand new iPhone, he brought his Newton. Miller calls himself "Dr. Izaac," a sly nod to the old Apple handheld, and you'll find the moniker in his email handle. Today, at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, he helps run an organisation called the Stanford Newton Users Group.Certainly, groups like this are on the wane too -- as is the NewtonTalk mailing list. But they aren't going away any time soon.After all these years, Grant Hutchinson's Newton collection is still growing. About a month ago, he had lunch with his old boss from Image Club Graphics -- the guy who laid down $1,000 for the original Newton in 1993. "I have a surprise for you," his old boss said after they sat down. Then he reached into his pocket, pulled out that original Newton, and gave it to Hutchinson."So, now I have that same Newton," Hutchinson says. "It's sitting on a pile of first volume Byte magazines on my desk." This story originally appeared on Wired.com Back to start 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Brassicaceae: An agri-horticulturally important family
Barbarea vulgaris - Cerreto, Alessandria, Italy (Source: Hectonichus (Own work) CC-BY-SA-3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0) via Wikimedia Commons)
Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) is an important dicotyledonous, angiospermic (true flowering) plant family with a global distribution. Species belonging to the Brassicaceae are well suited to a wide range of intensive and low input agri-techniques. They are primarily adapted to temperate and sub-tropical climates depending on the species. Brassica species play an important role in global agriculture and horticulture.
Food and Oil
The genus Brassica was described by Linneus in 1750 based on B. oleracea. Brassica contains a number of important species and wide genetic diversity. The species are characterized by a wide range of adaptations that have been domesticated into crops including oilseed rape/canola and swede (Brassica napus L.); cabbage, cauliflower; broccoli, brussels sprout (B. oleracea L.); turnip, Chinese cabbage and pak choi (B. rapa L.) and mustards (B. nigra (L.) W.D.J. Koch, B. alba (L.) Rabenh., B. juncea (L.) Czern., B. carinata A. Braun).

Standing canola crop at Lethbridge(C) and Fairview (D), Alberta, Canada; E. Mustard crop in flowering condition, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India; F. Brown/Indian mustard (B. juncea) seed; G. White/Yellow mustard (B. alba) seed; H.-N. SEM/Scanning Electron Micrograph of canola (H.-J.) and mustard (K.-N.) pollen grains under different magnifications.
There has been regional specialization of vegetables in this family, e.g. B. rapa vegetables in South East Asia and B. juncea oil crops in south Asia (Indian subcontinent). The globally famous, Canola oil (Rapeseed 00 or Double Zero Rapeseed) is important edible oil synthesized from different rape plant cultivars from either rapeseed (B. napus) or field mustard (B. rapa) and is considered nutritionally beneficial compared to standard mustard oil. The canola oil is an important contribution by Canadian researchers from the early 70's in pioneering the release of rape cultivar with lower concentrations of glucosinolates and erucic acid.

Mature flowers of Brassica nigra L. used as a vegetable source in north India; and F. Matured siliques of mustard crop filled with seeds in a crop field in western India.
Brassica L. varieties contribute to the economies and health of people (e.g. by antioxidants, vitamins, anti-cancer compounds, etc.) around the world. Brassica, like many crop species, has a large and complex genome. Brassica genomes are particularly plastic with several crop morphotypes within each species. The species with the higher chromosome numbers, or in other words amphidiploids B. napus, B. juncea and B. carinata, originated from diploid species like B. oleracea, B. rapa, and B. nigra. The chromosome analysis has further suggested an early evolution from a common ancestor (n = 6) and that other related diploid Brassica species (with basic chromosome numbers n = 8, 9 & 10) have evolved via secondary polyploidization. B. napus is known to have originated in southern part of the continent of Europe and is believed to have been introduced into Asia in the early part of the eighteenth century. Brassica rapa is the oldest reported species and is well known for its global distribution. Several Brassica species (B. nigra, B. juncea, and B. carinata) are important mustard crops in sub-tropics constituting North Africa and the Indian sub-continent.

Plant Genetic Model
Arabidopsis thaliana. photo www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca.
The family also contains Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh., a species that is used as a model plant in plant biochemical, metabolic, and molecular biological studies. Building on the progress that has already been made in A. thaliana, it is expected that the next 10 years should see enormous gains in the knowledge of molecular genetics of Brassica crops.
Currently, molecular marker-based genetic maps are available for major Brassica species. Detailed genetic analyses and molecular investigations of species may help establish an understanding of the evolutionary relationships among them. In addition, understanding the detailed genetic make up of the species might suggest how they could be saved if threatened with extinction challenges in the future. These techniques hold great promises in unravelling secrets of the species' genetic constituencies as well as suitable tools for analyzing them and finding ways to suitably protect them.
Another interesting aspect of this plant family is that several domesticated and wild species have demonstrated utility in phytoremediation of toxic metals as well as other organic and inorganic toxic metabolites from contaminated soils.

How to get my son, to go to sleep without a bottle?
My son who just turned 9 months old, has always gone to sleep witha bottle. As a first time mother, I didn't think it was an issue until just recenlty. The thoughts and planning on getting rid of the bottle in 3 months striked my nerves. For naps and bedtime he cuddles with me and has a bottle and goes to his crib. I'm thinking I need to get him away from sucking on the bottle to go sleep before laying him in his bed to go to sleep on his own. He's not a cuddler - i tried cuddling with him without a bottle and he cries bloody murder and wont lay down with me or in his bed. What do I do? I look everywhere but, no one has a solution. Any suggestions?

Try reading the no-cry sleep solution there is a great technique in there to help with getting rid of bottles in bed. If he is going to sleep with the bottle and staying asleep then just slowly start replacing the milk with water then he can keep the bottle and it is not bad for his teeth. Or you could always try a dummy.posted 11/07/2012 by Minicoupe
