Brief Synopsis
This essay develops a simple, yet comprehensive definition of strategic art. Strategic art entails the orchestration of all the instruments of national power to yield specific, well-defined end states. Desired end states and strategic outcomes derive from the national interests and are variously defined in terms of physical security, economic well-being, and the promotion of values. Strategic art, broadly defined, is therefore: The skillful formulation, coordination, and application of ends (objectives), ways (courses of action), and means (supporting resources) to promote and defend the national interests.

Phone number located in California, USA.
They started calling yesterday sayng they are with federal student loans and asking if i applied for debt relief....
just started calling I picked up and just listened just kept saying sarah sarah hello I did not answer he just hung up ,sound like he was Asian, in his twenties
Who is this??
keep calling it is annoy...
Called two nights..many times..up til 1030 pm..left a ranting message..sounded like a teen...called second time..I answered..ranted again....I said calling cops..they hung up..no more that night..tonight..again..under this number and showing name as ..linebecklink1....called twice..then third showed as unknown... How do we stop it
Someone just called me from this number telling me he was going to find me and kill me. Rip me out of my house. Along with some other racial things. Not very nice psycho guy. However, we kindly gave him an invite along with an address. Come on buddy, we've been pretty bored around here, we need some adventure!
It is a scam telling you that you have a virus in your computer, email is blocked, etc. Representing Microsoft-- what a rip off!
Numerous calls with this number displayed in caller ID. Wants to "park my car in your garage", "put my hot dog in your taco", etc. Municipal police research indicates this number is the default number displayed by a SKYPE user if they open an anonymous account. This number has been reported on MANY online complaint forums, and is obviously being used by a variety of scammers/perverts when they set up anonymous accounts. SKYPE is giving these perverts the ability to harass and scam people with impunity. SKYPE is also making money for CenuryLink now that I am paying for "services" to try and prevent these types of calls.

This is not true ,I received a call that said 10200 money grant,this was a fake
I got a collect call from this number! Of course I'm not going to accept a collect call so I have no idea who it is, I just blocked the number so it can't call me again.
I just received a call from this number, from "John Miller" who said he was from Windows, and his records show that I have a virus. Insisted that I turn on my computer, (I played along), I asked him which computer since I have 5! ha! I told him I'd call right back, asked for his phone number, which of course was a different number than the one on my Caller ID. ha! What a joke! Then I found this website. I hope people aren't falling for this, but unfortunately there will be victims.

Sometimes, it is necessary to remove your body jewelry. You may wish to change the jewelry and wear another piece, or you may wish to go without jewelry for a while. Whatever your reasons may be, you need to know how to open and remove your jewelry quickly and easily.
Different jewelry types are removed in different ways. In order to remove a jewelry piece, you need to know how this piece is designed and how to properly open it so you can take it out.
Here are quick tips on how to remove the most popular jewelry types:
Captive Bead Rings
Captive Bead Rings and other similar captive jewelry types come with a special bead that has to be removed in order to open the jewelry. To open your ring, it's best to grab the bead with one hand and the ring with the other and then pull them into the opposite directions. This should make the bead pop out of the ring.
This process is sometimes difficult so you may need to use pliers. There are special Ring Opening Pliers you need to use for this. In case you wear large gauge jewelry, it's best to use specialized Large Gauge Pliers.
Fixed, Seamless and Continuous Rings
These rings are a bit different than CBRs. Fixed rings have the bead attached to one side of the ring. Seamless and continuous rings do not use beads at all. They are built to be completely circular, usually with parts fitting nicely into each other. To open these rings, you should grab the bead (or, in the case there is no bead, one side of the ring) with one hand and the ring itself with the other hand and pull gently. Make sure to perform a small but firm twist. This should make ends separate and the ring will be opened.
Barbells tend to be easy to open, comparing to the rings. These jewelry types have a bar (straight, curved, circular, spiral, etc.) and a bead on the each end. The beads are screwed on the shaft. To open these barbells, simply unscrew the bead from the shaft. The same logic can be applied to labret studs.
Nostril Jewelry Pieces
Jewelry specially designed for nostril piercings is typically shaped in such a way to prevent jewelry to slip out of the piercing. It means it's either curved or it has a small ball on the end to keep jewelry in place.
These pieces are sometimes struggle to get in and out, because they have to be tight enough to stay in the piercing during use. To remove them, you need to be aware of their shape and then carefully pull, move and turn the jewelry until it's out.
Eear Plugs, Tunnels and Earlets
These jewelry pieces are specially designed for stretched lobes. There are many different types of plugs, flesh tunnels and earlets. Some are smooth and require O rings to keep them inside the piercing. These jewelry pieces are easily removed by simply taking the O rings out.
Flared jewelry pieces, especially double flared plugs and tunnels may be more difficult to remove, so you need to know how to manipulate the jewelry out of the piercing.
To learn more about inserting double flared jewelry, check out our article: How to Insert Double Flared Plugs and Tunnels.
Keep in mind that piercings tend to shrink rapidly after jewelry is removed. This is particularly true for new, fresh piercings but even older and fully healed piercings are not immune to it. Our bodies are quick to close the tissue, which will result in a rapid shrinkage of your piercing.
As a result, you may find out that it's difficult to reinsert the jewelry. It may be uncomfortable or even painful. In some extreme cases it might become impossible to reinsert your jewelry. Shrinkage occurs very quickly, and it starts as soon as jewelry is taken out. Keep this in mind if you intend to remove your jewelry and go without it for some time.

Dogs recognise their owners faces more than strangers but really prefer looking at other dogs, researchers have discovered.
Scientists placed a group of dogs in front of changing faces on computer screens and monitored their eye movement to see where they were focusing.
They found that when a picture of their owner flashed up the dog was more likely to look directly into their eyes, suggesting that they recognised the face.
With a stranger their gaze ranged around the face suggesting that they did not know who they were looking at.
However researchers found that dogs mostly liked looking at other dogs – whether they knew them or not.
A dog studies a picture of its owner during facial recognition research
Professor Outi Vainio at the University of Helsinki, who led the study said: "The results indicate that dogs were able to perceive faces in the images.
"Dogs fixed their gaze more often on familiar faces and eyes rather than strange ones, i.e. dogs scanned familiar faces more thoroughly."
But professor Vanio also found that: "Dogs looked at images of dogs longer than images of humans, regardless of the familiarity of the faces presented in the images."
Humans have specific brain mechanisms involved in face processing, which focuses attention to faces and recognizes the identity of faces quickly and accurately.
It had been previously thought that the skill was found only in humans or primates
Researchers also also found that dogs still focus on the eyes of their owner even when the imaged was flipped upside down, in the same way that humans do.
And it seemed to suggest that dogs enjoyed looking at humans and other dogs.
"Dogs seemed to experience the task rewarding, because they were very eager to participate," said Professor Vanio
In a separate discovery, scientists in Sweden claim they have come up with a new invention to allow owners to hear what their dog is thinking but translating their brainwaves into words.
The team also hopes that when ready, the device will be able to give specific voices to specific breeds
'No More Woof' has been developed by the Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery, a small research lab in Sweden..
A spokesman said: "During the last decade huge discoveries have been made to map out the human brain's functions.
"But never before has anyone made a serious attempt to apply this groundbreaking technology on man's best friend."
There is a spectrum of specific electrical signals in the brain defining the feeling of tiredness so when detected the No More Woof would blurt out the phrase "I'm tired!".
The spokesman continued: "Some of the most easily detected neural patterns are 'I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm curious who that is?
"Whereas the dog's brain signals might indicate hunger, that does of course not really mean the dog is thinking that, it's rather more a mental state than a thought .

Questions and Answers for DeMarini Fungodelic Fungo Baseball Bat: DXFUNDE
How durable is this fungo? Concerned with a composite and wood combo for durability. If used this for normal infield and fly ball practice, should it last for more than one season?
Yes, the DeMarini Fungodelic Fungo (DXFUNDE) is a very durable fungo and can be used for both outfield and infield. The composite handle should really only add durability, not take away from it. This fungo should last you several seasons.
How much does the bat weigh? All I have found is that the description states it is lightweight.
The DeMarini Fungodelic Fungo: DXFUNDE weighs 1.45 lbs.

Wish material was more durable
This review is from: 3M WR340LE Keyboard & Mouse Gel Wrist Rest
Pros: Comfortable extended length wrist pad, bottom is a smooth gel that adheres to surfaces.
Cons: Synthetic microbacterial* leather they use is paper thin. I accidentally dropped a pen the gel pad and it made a hole! I had to tape the puncture otherwise white gel oozes out. I do realize this is of my doing, but I mean a pen dropped from chest to waist high.

writst wrest
This review is from: 3M WR340LE Keyboard & Mouse Gel Wrist Rest
Pros: this is nice and squishy. It could probabluy be used a weapon. It does not slide around on my desk surface at all. It looks like it will be easy to clean.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: this is a good all around wrist rest. I didnt want to spend a lot but still ened up looking over wrist rest for a good half hour before settling on this one. It is too long for my tenkeyless which I had expected because its made to fit full size keyboards . it does the job nicely.

Depends on Preference
This review is from: 3M WR340LE Keyboard & Mouse Gel Wrist Rest
Pros: Long enough for a full-size keyboard plus a mouse. Easy to clean.
Cons: A bit too firm and narrow for me. I wish it distributed the pressure over a larger area of the palm. However, I may like wrests softer than most.

It seems to me that you guys are drawing this out longer than it has to be. If all you want is the Pokemon to be uncatchable then just do this:
-First, find the place in RAM that holds the current wild Pokemon's catch rate and find at what place it stores that data into a register.
-Then make a check right before the game calculates the catch rate for a certain address that isn't used for anything that you can use to see whether or not this battle is of the uncatchable type.
-If that variable IS set then jump to a custom routine that sets the temporary catch rate to 0 and stores the original catch rate into another unused variable.
-Then make another jump after the catch rate calculation that sets the temporary catch rate back to the original catch rate.
-Then make two more routines, one to set the uncatchable variable and another to clear it. Then use those routines in a script before and after an important wild Pokemon battle. Tada! You don't even have to touch the Ghost Marowak ASM.
It was late at night when I wrote this so if I missed something please tell me. Also, if the game doesn't store the catch rate into a temporary location (which is doubtful that they wouldn't) then doing this would be alot harder ,but not impossible.

I just received a second notice from Portfolio Receovery Associates that states I am under legal review and have until the end of March 2013 (the 20th actually) to respond or they are going to possibly pursue legal action. This notice states that I owe $9,168.93, but then it offers three settlement options or monthly payments. I called them today 3/16/13 and the rep I spoke with told me that they do not have any of my account information from GE Capital who owns the CareCredit credit card they are attempting to collect on. This doesn't sound right to me…They sent the first notice January 15, 2013, can I still request a letter of debt validation or was I required to do that within 30 days? She also stated that they may or may not take legal action and may just simply continue to collect.
Not really sure what to do and the monthly amount that they offered me would take almost 5 years to pay off and that just is way too long, but they did not seem to be willing to come down on any type of settlement lump sum offer either.
I appreciate any help!

I've so far purchased what I consider the best products for there intended purposes on my truck after a few weeks of review. I've purchased a Bed Rug bed liner so I can park under a tree this summer and have a snooze in it anytime I want.....I've purchased a Bak Industries Roll-X tonneau which I can completely open in a few seconds and with the interlocking aluminum bar design will also hold up to 400 lbs....incredibly well engineered product. I'd never heard of S&B Cold Air Intakes before, but as soon as I saw the photo's of it I consider it the best made sharpest looking CAI by a country mile. It will make a fabulous addition to
a gorgeous Hemi engine compartment.
What I would like to ask you is have you found anybody selling it for a better price than the $299.00 w/Free Shipping that everybody seems to be charging. While I find it a little expensive, it looks so much better than the competition, it seems worth the extra. Did I really say that....out loud...haha
Thanks Grub
Ram725 answered it for me.
I really don't know of anyone who's offering any discounts or the sorts. In fact, S&B Filters are VERY strict with ANY of the products being offered by online vendors who attach any types of discounts or coupons to them; so if you do find one that's discounted, it certainly isn't approved by S&B Filters.
Read: if you find one discounted, jump on it!
Congratulations on your consideration. If you pull the plug, you'll be very happy like all of us here who own one.
Well, almost everyone.....
Truck was sold today [5/19]. I got an offer I couldn't turn down. I had no more need for a pickup so I cut it loose. About to purchase a '14 Jeep SRT8 this week.
Grub out!

Kidnap of Soldiers in July Was Hezbollah's Fifth Attempt
Israel told diplomats after learning of previous plans it would respond with military operation to kidnap attempts.
The abduction of Israel Defense Forces reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, which sparked the war in the north, was the fifth attempt by Hezbollah to kidnap IDF soldiers.
Since the October 2000 attack in which three IDF soldiers were killed during a kidnap attempt, this was the only time Hezbollah succeeded in capturing IDF soldiers and holding them as hostages.
Two months before the July 12 raid in which Hezbollah abducted the two soldiers and killed three others, Israel had learned of another plan by the group to carry out an attack against an IDF patrol at the same location.
Sources said Hezbollah refrained from carrying out the attack due to the deployment of large IDF forces in the area. At the same time, Israel contacted American and French diplomats, and warned them that if Hezbollah would attempt to kidnap IDF soldiers again, Israel's response would include a large-scale military operation.
It is unclear whether Israel's warning of a massive response to another attempt to kidnap soldiers reached Hezbollah, nor is it clear whether the group chose to disregard the warning.
Israel's assumption was that the Americans and French would find a way to relay the message to Hezbollah.
Repeated Hezbollah efforts to capture IDF soldiers is a subject that will be of great interest to the Winograd Committee, which was established to investigate the war and related aspects.
An examination of these kidnap attempts will not only shed light on pre-war planning, but also lead to conclusions on the IDF's day-to-day operational policy and quality of tactical intelligence before the outbreak of fighting.
The first attempt to kidnap soldiers took place in a Hezbollah attack against IDF positions at the border village of Ghajar on November 21, 2005. IDF intelligence succeeded in learning about Hezbollah's plans to carry out the attack, but the Northern Command's tactical intelligence on the ground was lacking, and failed to identify the concentration of Hezbollah forces in a bunker on the Lebanese side of the border.
The person who succeeded in salvaging the situation was the platoon commander, who decided to reposition his troops. As a result, one of the soldiers managed to kill four of the Hezbollah attackers.
Hezbollah planned to carry out another raid in May 2006. This was planned to take place at exactly the same location as the July 12 raid. Intelligence learned of Hezbollah's plans, and in response, the IDF openly deployed large forces in an effort to deter any possible attack.
While it appeared that the IDF deterrent worked at the time, it was only temporary. It is possible that Hezbollah's choice to repeat its attack at the same site stemmed from its conclusions that this was the most advantageous location, or that the IDF had lowered its guard.
It is pretty clear that Hezbollah was aware that this specific location was not under constant IDF observation.
Halutz appoints team to examine kidnap
IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz on Monday appointed an investigative team to examine Hezbollah's abduction of Regev and Goldwasser. Halutz requested that the staff finish its work and present its conclusions within a month.
Halutz appointed General (res.) Doron Almog, former head of the Southern Command, to head the team. The chief of staff held met on September 18 with Reserve generals to discuss the army's conduct during the war. Almog was one of the harshest critics of the IDF's performance in the war.
The intention of the new investigative team is to carry out an examination by a team of experts, some of whom are not in regular army service.
Monday morning, Haaretz reported that IDF investigations since the kidnapping showed that military intelligence ignored signs that Hezbollah was planning an attack. According to the findings, this information, which may have given the army a greater chance of thwarting the attack, was not examined properly or distributed to forces on the ground in time.
The IDF Spokesman's Office refused to affirm or deny these findings, stating that the investigations were still to be carried out by Military Intelligence and the Northern Command, and that he could not comment on an ongoing investigation.
Immediately after the kidnapping, the Northern Command appointed an investigative team headed by Brigadier General (res.) Avi Ashkenazi. Ashkenazi was expected to present his report to Halutz this week, as well as to the senior IDF brass.

How to Speak Double Talk
Double talk is another form of school yard language that is actually quite easy to learn and speak. However, if you have never heard it spoken before you can be quite lost because it is supposed to be spoken quite quickly.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1First you must separate all the words you plan to use into single syllable segments. For example "I would like a carbonated beverage" would be "I would like a car-bo-na-ted be-ver-age"
2Then you add "dag" in the middle of each syllable. So for the vowels "A" is "adaga (ay-da-gay)" "E" is "edage (ee-da-gee) "I" is "idagi (i-da-guy)" "O" is "odago (oh-da-go)" and "U" is "udagu (ooh-da-goo)"
3The entire sentence will look like this: "Idagi wodagould lidagike adaga cadagar bodago nadaga tedaged bedage vedager adagage"
4Pronouncing the sentence would be: "I-da-guy wo-da-good lie-da-gike ay-da-gay ca-da-gar bo-da-go nay-da-gay te-da-ged be-da-ge ve-da-ger a-da-gauge"
5The key to making it almost impossible for untrained people to understand you is to speak it very quickly.

If you're mad about something, you've lost your temper. If you've gone mad, you've lost your mind.
Just like it's more common to be angry than to be insane, you're more likely to use mad to describe someone who's ticked off than to describe someone who has serious mental problems. If you say you're "mad about" something, you're saying you like it so much it distracts you.

Gorgeous weather this long weekend along with some down time means that I can finally put together a post on my outfit from IMFDF.
For those of you who don't know, International Muslim Fashion and Design Festival (IMFDF) took place August 23rd & 24th. IMFDF's goal is to create a platform that helps promote the modest fashion industry and help unite Muslim female led businesses.
I was invited to be on a panel of bloggers that would be speaking about how we started blogging, the challenges we face, how we deal with negativity, etc. I was so so so excited as I would be sharing the panel with Dina Torokia (aka Dina Tokio), Nurlailalov, Saman's Makeup & Hijabs, Miss Balde and Basma K. It was a pleasure meeting all of them – I felt like a total fan girl and still can't believe that I met them!
That weekend was a really busy weekend for me and unfortunately I could not attend IMFDF for long (I had two weddings to attend – and you know desi weddings, it's not just a one day affair). I was able to take a very quick tour of the vendors and there was a great selection of clothes, accessories, makeup, etc. All the fashion shows that I did see were amazing and I wish I had chance to see more.
A big shoutout to Julianna for taking pictures for me that day!
Anyway, back to my outfit. I decided my outfit really last minute – the morning of the event! I wanted to wear something summery as it was supposed to be a bright and sunny day. I had recently purchased a skirt from Beaudefy (you may remember I wore a piece from Beaudefy at SIS) and decided that I wanted to wear it because it was flowy and feminine. I paired my skirt with a pink top and braided my Hijab to give my look an extra oomph.

Fahrenheit scale digital thermometer is a temperature indicator which displays temperature in Fahrenheit scale. It is similar to Celsius scale digital thermometer, except a little modification in the microcontroller program. The temperature sensed in Celsius scale in the Celsius scale thermometer project is converted into the Fahrenheit scale temperature just by using the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formulae. This project also uses 8051 microcontroller (AT89C51).
A digital thermometer can be easily made by interfacing a temperature sensor to the microcontroller AT89C51. The temperature sensor used in the project is LM35. The LM 35 IC generates a 10mV variation to its output voltage for every degree Celsius change in temperature. The Output of the temperature sensor is analog in nature so we need an analog to digital convertor for converting the analog input to its equivalent binary output. The ADC 0804 is the analog to digital convertor IC used in the project. 0804 is a single channel convertor which converts the analog input up to a range of 5V to an equivalent 8-bit binary output.
The step size is defined by the voltage applied at the Vref/2 pin of the ADC IC. For example, if the voltage at Vref/2 pin is set to 1.28V then ADC has a step size of 10 mV. So if the input voltage is 1V the equivalent binary output of ADC will be 100 or 0110 0100 in binary. The 8 bit binary output of the ADC is incremented by one for every 10 mV rise of input voltage. Different step size can be selected by changing the voltage input to the Vref/2 pin. The step size of the ADC is calibrated using a preset to match the actual temperature. Once the ADC is calibrated it will give the correct output further. The binary output of ADC is fed parallel to a port of the microcontroller . The microcontroller reads the input through ADC and displays the corresponding decimal value on LCD indicating the temperature.

Have you ever noticed what all the mouthwatering photos of roasted chickens and turkeys have in common? Crispy, lightly browned skin. Herbs. And a glistening sheen that hints at the presence of tender, juicy meat underneath. And lucky for you, that's exactly what you'll end up with after making this recipe. It's fancy enough to impress, and so easy a cavewoman (or man!) can do it! ;)
And if you've never roasted a whole chicken before, now's the time to learn; every cook should know how to do this! I even provide some links to super-easy, really short videos (made by a couple of great chefs on YouTube) to show you how to properly truss a chicken for roasting, which is a lot easier than it sounds… as well as one that shows you how to properly slice a whole chicken into its constituent parts: thighs, drumsticks, wings, and breast meat. After making this recipe, you'll pretty much look (and feel) like a pro!
On the flip side, if you have roasted a chicken once or twice before, but you're looking for something with a bit more pizzazz, then this recipe is still right up your alley! The ingredients list is purposefully kept simple, so you can focus on good technique while still achieving a delightful flavor profile. It requires just a few staple pantry items: grass-fed butter, a whole lemon, and some fresh thyme… a classic combination that works together beautifully!
To achieve noticeable flavor, the chicken must be generously seasoned with salt and pepper on the inside, as well as the outside. A lot of people overlook the seasoning of the cavity, but you want the meat to have flavor all the way through, not just on the outside! The cavity is also stuffed with herbs and lemon rinds, to help infuse it with more flavor. I also like to put a pat of butter and a smashed clove of garlic underneath the skin on each side of the breast bone, before trussing it up so that it cooks evenly. After being trussed, the chicken is seasoned again on the outside with lemon juice, more salt and pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.
It's a good idea to roast your chicken on a roasting rack, so that the bottom doesn't become soggy, and so that the heat can distribute all around the bird as it cooks. If you don't have a roasting rack, don't fret – you can also use a large, rimmed baking sheet! Just place some carrots and celery under the bird to help elevate it away from all the juices that will collect underneath.
The general rule of thumb for roasting a whole chicken is 20 minutes for every pound that it weighs. I used a 6 lb chicken, so that meant mine cooked for 2 solid hours! My house smelled delicious the whole time… someone should really invent roasted chicken scented candles. I'd buy 'em! ;)
You may also notice that I suggest cooking the chicken at a higher temperature for 15 minutes, before lowering the temperature for the required amount of roasting time. This is to get that nice, crispy exterior that we all know and love! DON'T SKIP THIS STEP! :)
Once your chicken is done roasting, take it out of the oven. Double check the temperature with a meat thermometer; if you poke it in wherever the thigh is fattest (but not touching bone), it should be at least 165 degrees F. If it's anything less, then it needs to cook for a few more minutes. If it's done, though, let the bird sit out for 15 to 20 minutes. This will provide time for the juices in the meat to redistribute, which helps to ensure that the meat is tender and juicy, not tough and dried out. This also gives the chicken some time to cool off, so you don't end up burning the heck out of your fingers while slicing it!
If you're not experienced with taking apart a whole chicken, quickly watch this video, and you'll be on your way to pro status in no time.
What's great about roasting a whole chicken, as opposed to just the breasts or drumsticks alone, is that there's usually leftovers! This depends on how many people are eating it, of course, and how big the bird is… but if you find that you have leftovers, then it's time to celebrate because roasted chicken makes for an excellent day-after lunch! And it also cuts down on your list of weekly lunches to think up and prepare. See?! You've killed two birds with one stone! (Nerdy pun completely intended.)
The flavor of the chicken lends itself to a wide variety of side dish accompaniments, so you've got a lot of options here. I served mine with steamed broccoli and cauliflower mashed "fauxtatoes". Mmm mmm good!
Share your thoughts… do you have any other tried-and-true chicken roasting tips to offer?
- (1) 5 to 6 lb whole chicken, thawed and giblets removed
- 2 tbsp grass-fed butter
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed with flat side of knife
- 1 tbsp kosher salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 small sprigs fresh thyme, divided
- 1 fresh lemon, quartered
- **Cooking twine
- Take pre-thawed chicken out of the refrigerator about 45 minutes prior to roasting it, to allow it to come closer to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Make sure you know how much your chicken weighs, as this will determine your cooking time!
- Get out a roasting rack/pan (preferable for more even cooking), or a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Use paper towels to pat chicken dry both on the outside AND inside.
- Season inside the cavity with ½ tbsp kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Place 4 whole sprigs of thyme inside the chicken cavity. Squeeze two lemon quarters into the chicken cavity, and then place the squeezed rinds inside.
- Use your fingers to rub and spread out 1 tbsp of grass-fed butter underneath the skin of the chicken breast (about ½ tbsp on each side of the breastbone). Also place one clove of smashed garlic under the skin, on each side of the breastbone.
- Truss the chicken with a piece of twine that's just over double the length of the chicken (here's a good how-to video).
- Squeeze the other two lemon quarters over the top of the chicken breast, and discard the rinds. Sprinkle all sides of chicken with the other ½ tbsp kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Strip leaves from the remaining 2 sprigs of thyme (simply use fingers to lightly grasp and pull, from bottom toward top of stem), and sprinkle over top of the chicken.
- Place chicken on roasting rack/pan, and roast for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and roast for 20 minutes per pound (i.e. a 6 lb chicken should roast for 2 hours). Internal temperature of the thigh should reach between 165 -175 degrees F.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving (here's a great how-to video).

Seattle City Councilmember Tim Burgess has proposed new rules on panhandling that should help restore a sense of civility and safety to downtown and other parts of the city. The new legislation is welcome and overdue.
SEATTLE prides itself on being safer than many other major cities with bigger crime problems and tougher streets. Some of that is still true but felony crime and a sense of menace pervade parts of downtown.
With that in mind, the Seattle City Council should embrace Councilmember Tim Burgess' sensible package of street-disorder rules that restrict aggressive panhandling. This is not an attack on basic free speech. An individual who simply holds out a hat or asks for a buck will be fine.
But an aggressive panhandler would face a civil infraction of $50 or be required to perform community service. Specifically, the legislation prohibits panhandling that involves blocking a person's way, touching, intimidating, harassing or soliciting within 15 feet of an individual using a cash machine or public or private parking pay station.
A poll shows 23 percent of Seattle residents avoid downtown because they believe it is unsafe. Lost business equals fewer jobs.

Burgess's legislation alone won't do the job. Appropriately, it fits into a larger continuum of responses, including budget proposals later this year to return foot patrols to more areas and on Wednesdays through Sundays, days with a higher demand for police services.
The other key budget decision looming is continued hiring of police officers, a net increase of 21 a year for two more years to fully implement neighborhood policing. This is must-do city business.
Crime citywide is up 7 percent, but in South Lake Union and the downtown core major crime jumped 22 percent since 2008
"We are near a tipping point, primarily downtown but also in some other sections of the city, Ballard, the University District and the International District," said Burgess. "The tipping point is the belief, perception or reality that it is not safe to be downtown or in these neighborhoods."
Burgess has support from several council members, the mayor, the acting police chief and several social-service groups. Some homeless advocates worry that harmless street people will be punished for no reason.
If Seattle wants its downtown and neighborhood business districts to be approachable, if we want businesses to thrive and hire people, the wise course is to support a tougher approach to street disorder.

Article: Ratiometric Fluorescence Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria Resistant to Broad-Spectrum β-Lactam Antibiotics[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Identification of bacteria: A methoxyimino cephalosporin derivative containing a pair of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) fluorophores was synthesized. This probe displays selective cleavage toward different types of β-lactamases, thereby providing a rapid assay to distinguish bacterial cells that are either sensitive or resistant to broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics.
Article: Amine Metabolomics of Hyperglycemic Endothelial Cells using Capillary LC-MS with Isobaric Tagging[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Intracellular amine metabolite changes were quantified from hyperglycemic human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) as a model for macrovascular complications of diabetes. Amines were selectively tagged using the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS) based isobaric tag DiART (Deuterium isobaric Amine Reactive Tag), synthesized in house. DiART labeling improved chromatographic resolution of derivatized amines, resulted in 100-fold signal-to-noise enhancement in mass spectrometry (MS) analyses, and allowed multiplex quantification of four samples concurrently through tandem MS fragmentation. Targeted measurement of 31 DiART-tagged amines demonstrated the limits of detection below 10 nM/100 amol and averaged RSDs less than 5%. Examination of endothelial cells exposed to short-term hyperglycemia resulted in significant changes to alanine, proline, glycine, serine, and glutamine compared to osmotic controls. Discovery of proline elevation in hyperglycemic endothelial cells suggests a role of proline in hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative stress. Exposure of endothelial cells to high glucose for 7 days resulted in reduced cell number and significant changes to 21 amines relative to cell number. Prominent amine elevation from long-term hyperglycemia include aminoadipate as a sign of lysine breakdown through oxidative stress; cystathionine, hypotaurine, and proline indicating an antioxidant response; and glutamine/glutamate as substrate level activators of additional metabolic pathways. This report is the first investigation of amine changes to hyperglycemic endothelial cells and offers new insights into the pathophysiology of diabetic complications.
Article: Detecting protein interactions in live cells via complementation of a hydrolysis-deficient β-lactamase[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Protein-fragment complementation assay using a hydrolysis-deficient β-lactamase provides a robust tool for studying protein-protein interactions.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper demonstrates the applications of a novel isobaric reagent, named deuterium ((2)H) isobaric amine-reactive tag (DiART), for quantitative proteomics. Peptides labeled with DiART were analyzed using an electrospray ionization (ESI)-based LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Our data showed that (2)H-associated isotope effects, such as partial loss of (2)H labels during tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and (2)H-related chromatographic shift, were either not observed or negligible. With the use of a hybrid collision-induced dissociation (CID)-higher energy C-trap dissociation (HCD) acquisition method, we were able to identify DiART-labeled peptides with high confidence and quantify them with high accuracy. Furthermore, we adopted a hybrid electron-transfer dissociation (ETD)-HCD acquisition protocol and developed a novel data analysis approach to measure phosphorylation of peptides. Our results showed DiART had excellent performance on LTQ-Orbitrap instruments and provided a cost-effective technique for large-scale quantitative proteomics measurements.

Anybody convert a soft top to a hard top?
I have a '94 YJ with a worn out soft top, the winters here in Colorado can be brutal. I have been running a bikini top all summer and winter is just around the corner, I was wondering what is involved in converting to a hard top, but keep the soft upper doors, if possible. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks! Rich
Just buying the hard top and putting it on. Only thing besides that that is involved is wiring up the defrost and wiper.
Isn't running 1/2 doors defeating the purpose of the hard top?
The soft doors are the ones that you zip up the windows on, the half doors i think are with the bikini top.
Hard top , doors fit from a CJ 7 ?
My 94 has a soft top. I found a CJ 7 hard top with doors. Will they fit my jeep ?
i beleive so. But you will have trouble with tailgate because they are different from cj to yj
If you get upper sliders for the half doors, you should just be able to bolt the YJ top on. I don't know the difference(s) between the YJ and CJ tops.
Go to either Rally Tops or Bestop and look at their write up on installation. It's all right there including pictures.

As a continuation of the UCL China Centre for Health and Humanity (CCHH) Festival of Film and the Body, we present The Sword Identity 倭寇的踪迹 (2011), directed by Xu Haofeng 徐浩峰, one of China's cutting edge young directors, and writer and lecturer at Beijing Film Academy.
In the postmodern world of martial arts, Xu's debut film turns his novella of the same name into a film that is 'both a homage to and a comic deconstruction of the Chinese and Japanese martial arts traditions' (Kraicer, Cinemascope). This is a beautifully shot epic which draws on earlier generations of martial arts films with wit and artistry. Illustrating the complexities of wuxia society, the film contains a visual analysis of the subtle dynamics of combat chivalry and simultaneously captures the philosophy behind the skill of the swordsman.

text: AAP NEWSFEED December 6, 2000, WednesdaySECTION: Nationwide General News; Federal ParliamentLENGTH: 561 words HEADLINE: Fed: ACM subject torigorous probity checks: Ruddock By Rob TaylorCANBERRA, Dec 6 AAP - Allegations Chinese illegalimmigrants were repeatedly molested during a deportationflight by private prison officers would be fullyinvestigated, the federal government promised today.Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock has come under renewedpressure over the record of Australasian CorrectionalManagement (ACM), a division of the giant US WackenhutCorporation. Opposition immigration spokesman ConSciacca demanded Mr Ruddock look into allegations a ACMofficer at the Port Hedland facility in Western Australiarepeatedly molested Chinese women in his care during adeportation flight in September last year. Newspaperreports accused ACM management of brushing over theallegations without serious investigation. Mr Ruddocksaid immigration department officers had demanded afull report into the claims "If the incidentdid occur, I would, as my adviser indicated, regardit as completely unacceptable," he told parliament."However until such time as I have additional information,I don't think it's appropriate that I should cometo a concluded view in relation to the matter."Mr Ruddock said the claims had so far beenunsubstantiated and he presented parliament with a statement fromImmigration Assistant Secretary Peter Vardos, whowitnessed none of the alleged incidents despite beingpresent on the flight. The minister also defendedthe contracting of ACM to run immigration holdingcentres. Labor justice spokesman Duncan Kerr saidWackenhut, which runs private prisons in America, Canada andMelbourne, had been sued by the US Justice Departmentover claims officers sexually abused youths indetention. The head of the corporation, GeorgeWackenhut, had also praised ACM's record in Australia,saying: "They're really starting to punish people the waythey should have done all along," Mr Kerr said.But Mr Ruddock said ACM and its senior managers hadpassed rigorous probity checks as part of thegovernment's contract process. "The tender process andthe negotiations enabled the department to articulatea clear statement of requirements and standards tobe met, and reporting requirements in the areaof delivery of detention services," he said."Such arrangements had not existed before." MrRuddock said the contract had also won approval from theHuman Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission.Opposition Leader Kim Beazley said the government must acton the reported allegations of sexual abuse with afull judicial inquiry, rather than the limitedinvestigation into an abuse claim at the Woomera centre inSouth Australia. "Our international reputationis being affected," he said. "The governmentis counting on the view that people don't care aboutillegal migrants therefore abuse will have a lowpolitical saliency." But Prime Minister John Howardsaid the sexual assault allegations against the PortHedland ACM staff were a matter for state police."If that happened well that's obviously a veryconcerning thing, a very distressing thing," Mr Howard toldPerth radio 6PR. "If it has happened that is abreach of the criminal law. That is a matter for theWestern Australian police."

Solar to the People
Students who move into their own place soon after graduation often have to compromise to find a place that is affordable. One way to save money on your energy costs is by putting solar panels on the roof of your house. Websites like solar-to-the-people.com/solar-panel-calculators help you determine the overall cost of putting solar energy into your house. Make sure you do plenty of online research about solar panels before making a big decision about solar energy.

Update on LibertinaLibertina has successfully paid back a Rp 10.000.000 loan in just four weeks! She achieved this through sales of a micro-solar lighting system that can connect up to four light bulbs and has two USB ports for charging phones and running a radio.
To help her continue operating her business, she is requesting Rp 20.000.000 loan. She will use the loan to buy more stock of green technology products and provide solutions to her customers' problems: difficult access to clean water and frequent power cuts on the island of Sabu, off the coast of West Timor.
"Since I moved to Kupang decades ago, I rent a semi-permanent building that is used for kiosk, bedroom, and kitchen. I dream to have my own house where my kids can have bigger space to do their activities such as studying and playing. Few years ago, I borrowed money from the cooperative to buy a land. The last installment from this loan was paid using the money I got from Tech Kiosk business. Now on that land, my husband and I start to build a simple house that is nearly done. All profit I got from this business is allocated to buy materials for the building."
Libertina is grateful for the support to increase earnings to complete her new home.
Previous Loan DetailsLibertina previously accessed an Rp 3.000.000 loan to purchase green technology products to sell in her community. She successfully sold around 10 technologies in two months and more than doubled her earnings. To help her continue operating her business, she is requesting another Rp 10.000.000 l...

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan will help Kopernik to provide its network of independent re-sellers with inventory for simple, life-changing technologies, as opposed to cash or financial credit. Retailers will receive products such as water filters, solar lamps, efficient cookstoves, micro irrigation systems, corn shellers, milk pasteurizers, clean birth kits, infant warmers, mosquito nets and solar hearing aids.
These retailers typically own pre-existing small businesses and wish to provide their communities with these technologies. They are responsible for repaying the cost of the products to Kopernik over the course of the loan term.
Kopernik will collect repayments from retailers each month based on their sales and this money will be returned to Kiva lenders. However, since actual sales are difficult to predict in advance, the repayment schedule on Kiva has been listed with only a single bullet repayment at the end of the term. This structure gives the retailers flexibility to repay on a schedule that works for their individual business needs.
About Kopernik:Kopernik is a nonprofit organization that helps rural retailers in Indonesia sell simple, life-improving technologies to their communities. Founded in 2009, it connects technology makers with local partners in remote areas to address needs like clean water, electricity, food security and healthcare. Kiva funding will enable retailers to purchase more inventory at a better price, thereby increasing the distribution of life-improving technologies in rural communities.
Kopernik joined Kiva through our Experimental Partnership Program, and has therefore received a lighter level of due diligence. Accordingly, loans associated with this partner carry a higher level of risk than typical Kiva loans.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

A woman was injured in a rear-end collision on state Highway 502 at Northeast 37th Street in Battle Ground Tuesday afternoon.
Around 4:10 p.m., a Chrysler 300 headed eastbound on Highway 502 stopped to make a left turn. A Honda Accord, also eastbound, rear-ended the Chrysler, which was pushed forward about 60 feet, said Battalion Chief Tim Dawdy, spokesman for Clark County Fire & Rescue.
The driver of the Chrysler was transported to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center for neck and back pain, said Trooper Will Finn, spokesman for the Washington State Patrol. A man driving the Honda and his passenger refused treatment.
Both lanes of the highway were blocked for about 30 minutes, clogging rush-hour traffic, Finn said.
The State Patrol is investigating this incident. Names of those involved were not available.

Like Solyndra? Those employees busied themselves by making solar panels no one would buy. In fact, they manufactured the panels then put them in storage, then put them in the trash. The discussions in the Solyndra break-room were always lively, and the bowling league was just killer.

Loving the Alien.
Mixed notices then and now for John Carpenter's sci-fi love story - cum human warning parable, but the fact is is that if it touches you it's a touch that stays for ever. It's a lovely film headed up by Jeff Bridges' wonderful turn as the alien from outer space teaming up with Karen Allen for a road trip to a Nevada crater, where he will be picked up by his own species and taken home.
Taking on human form, that of Allen's deceased husband, much of the humour is derived from how the alien tries to adapt to a human lifestyle. The language, food, customs and romance, but al... read the rest.
