Investors are relying on dividend-paying investments now more than ever to get the income they need. But many get confused about why there are so many different tax rates that apply to dividend investments.
In the following video, Dan Caplinger, The Motley Fool's director of investment planning, goes through the rules, pointing out that rates of 0%, 15%, or 20% can apply to qualified dividends on ordinary stocks that are eligible for preferential rates. These stocks include not only high-yielding Frontier Communications (NASDAQ:FTR) and other U.S. income-producing stocks but also U.S.-listed foreign stocks like BP (NYSE:BP). Dan also notes that Annaly Capital (NYSE:NLY), American Capital Agency (NASDAQ:AGNC), and other real-estate investment trusts often produce ordinary income because of their status as pass-through entities. Moreover, Dan goes through the taxation of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (NYSE:KMP) and other master limited partnerships, which incur different types of taxes on their distributions because of the special rules applying to energy companies. Dan concludes that unless you use a tax-deferred account, keeping track of all these rates is important to make sure you know how much tax you'll have to pay.
Which dividend stocks are the best?
Regardless of taxation, dividend stocks are still a smart move for most investors. Indeed, one of the dirty secrets that few finance professionals will openly admit is that dividend stocks as a group handily outperform their non-dividend-paying brethren. However, knowing this is only half the battle. The other half is identifying which dividend stocks in particular are the best. With this in mind, our top analysts put together a free list of nine high-yielding stocks that should be in every income investor's portfolio.

An Italian leftist politician, Enrico Letta, was nominated to be the new prime minister on Wednesday, bringing to an end a bitter two-month deadlock on forming a new government with the imminent launch of a coalition between right, centre and left.
Letta said many Italians were "suffering" from the economic crisis and promised to tackle job losses, company closures, growing poverty as well as the lack of opportunity for young people.
"This is an enormous and unacceptable emergency," the 46-year-old told reporters at the presidential palace in Rome after receiving a formal nomination from President Giorgio Napolitano.
Letta, a pro-European, also said that as premier he would "strongly commit to a change of course for European policies too focused on austerity, which is no longer enough".
A three-time minister and moderate left-winger, Letta will have to work hard to restore public confidence in politics and bring together the bickering parties which have held up a government deal.
In a highly unusual move, Pope Francis called Napolitano after the nomination to congratulate him.
"You have been an example to me Mister President," he was quoted as saying.
"Your conduct has exemplified the fundamental principle of working together," he said.
"I am moved by your decision," Francis said.
After months of political deals, betrayals and empty promises, long-suffering Italians said they were relieved Napolitano had elected an experienced though fresh-faced figure.
"He is a good compromise between the old and new guard. All eyes are on him now to see if he can pull Italy out of the crisis," said Clelia Giordano, a 63-year-old piano teacher walking in central Rome.
The nominee will begin a series of meetings with political parties on Thursday to form his coalition government, which is expected to be fully installed by the end of the week.
The right's Silvio Berlusconi has already demanded that the new government refund an unpopular housing tax in exchange for its support, and Letta's own party may also prove a problematic coalition partner.
The Democratic Party (PD) has been unwilling to countenance working with the right, and its former chairwoman, Rosy Bindi, said this week that it was not Letta's time to be prime minister.
Franco Pavoncello, political science professor at Rome's John Cabot University, said the parties could take tough negotiating stances in the consultations but would essentially support Letta.
"There is willingness among practically all the parties to give Letta a chance to succeed. They know well that otherwise the political crisis risks deepening further," he said.
Financial experts welcomed the nomination but warned the new government may not last, with analysts from French investment bank Natixis and British lender Barclays forecasting a return to the polls next year.
Italian stocks fell sharply after the nomination announced, although they recovered later in the day and finished the session 0.44 percent higher.
Letta, who became Italy's youngest ever minister in 1998, set himself apart by arriving for the nomination meeting at the wheel of his own car -- an Italian-branded Fiat and a rarity in a country where politicians are usually chauffeur-driven.
"We need to regain credibility. We need a different kind of Italian politics," he said after his nomination, promising reform a controversial electoral law blamed for much of the current mess.
The eurozone's third largest economy has been mired in a political crisis ever since a general election in February in which the centre-left won but did not have an overall parliamentary majority.
The gridlock has spooked European capitals and investors had warned that prolonged uncertainty could lead to instability on the financial markets for a recession-ravaged economy that is struggling to keep its public finances in check.
The combination of right, centre and left mirrors the loose alliance that backed Mario Monti's outgoing government until Berlusconi pulled his party's support for it in December, precipitating early elections.
The PD has been badly divided since the inconclusive result of the February 24-25 polls and its entire leadership resigned on Friday following a rebellion within party ranks.
The Five Star Movement, a new protest party that won a quarter of the vote and came third in the elections, said it would be in opposition.
The movement's leader, ex-comedian Beppe Grillo, slammed Letta's nomination, accusing the leftist of being in league with his shadowy uncle Gianni Letta, Berlusconi's long-standing right-hand man.
Monti's government remains in office until a new one is formed but it has only interim powers.
The former EU commissioner welcomed the nomination, saying that Letta would "consolidate Italy's credibility internationally".

U.S.S. Constitution & Guerriere's Bell Featured in Exhibit on War of 1812
During the first major sea battle of the War of 1812, the U.S.S. Constitution got her nickname, "Old Ironsides" for the victory over the British frigate, the H.M.S. Guerriere. The ship's bell, removed as a war trophy, was reportedly later purchased by Stephen Hopkins Smith, builder of Hearthside, to hang in his "Butterfly Mill" on Great Road. The mill had become known as the "Butterfly Mill" because of the two stones on the front of the building that formed the shape of a butterfly. But, it was this bell that hung in the bellfry for over 100 years that the mill really became known for. Over the years, the bell became the possession of the Sayles family who owned the Butterfly Mill building during the early 20th century. More recently, it has been on exhibit at the U.S.S. Constitution Museum. Thanks to the Constitution Museum, this famous bell will return back home to Great Road to be displayed at Hearthside for this special exhibit on the War of 1812 for the month of September.
Throughout history, this bell has had a tale about how old it really is. The brass bell has an inscription which reads: "ME FECIT PIETER SEEST AMSTELODAM ANNO 1265." As reported in a New York Times article in 1907, the bell's history was thoroughly researched by Stephen Hopkins Smith after he bought it, and he traced it to a monastery in the South of England from which it was then determined the bell would serve in the Royal Navy. It became the ship's bell for the Guerriere. The bell was thought to be 650 years old at the time because of the date that was inscribed on it.
Pieter Seest was born in Hadersleben (now in Holstein, Germany) around 1715. He became foreman of the city of Amsterdam's bell and cannon factory. In 1770 he was appointed director of the foundry. HMS Guerriere was built in Cherbourg, France in 1799. Amsterdam was under French control at the time, so it is possible that the bell by Pieter Seest was commandeered to outfit the new frigate.
In 1884 in a speech to the RI Veteran Citizens Association about the attributes and history of this bell, Welcome Greene urged members of the society to use their influence to insure that such a valuable bell have a safe home and be protected in the future, perferably at one of the colleges, rather than hanging at a mill out in the wilderness. Over the years, Rhode Island state leaders, as cited in that New York Times article, felt that this bell should be hung in the bellry of the Sayles Memorial Chapel at Brown University, since it had belonged to the Sayles family during the 20th century. In yet another publication. The Rhode Island Schoolmaster, 1872, the bell was referred to as "one of the oldest, if not the oldest, bells now in existence." It describes a piano tuner from the area who claimed "the bell as having the clearest sounding tone he had ever heard; that the tone was one continuous note, not running into three or four different sounds, as is the case with most bells."
After many years of studying the bell, it has been determined that the "2" in the date inscribed on it is actually an upside down "7," thereby dating the bell to 1765, and not 1265. While it is not as old as originally thought, it is still an old relic with a rich history that we're delighted to be sharing with the public who visit Hearthside during September.

Alright for a drink but not good for accommodation.
Quite a nice place to pop in and have a drink, pleasant setting etc but not really good to stay over night.
The evening bar staff were very good but the morning staff couldn't even be bothered to say "Good morning". The room was of poor quality even though it was advertised as Superior, hardly enough room to swing a cat, and in desperate need of some extra cleaning and a lick of paint, the view out of the window mainly thousands of gig butts, obviously visitors smoking in the bedroom windows and throwing them outside, and a broken up wardrobe or similar that had obviously been there a long while. The breakfast was very poor, uncooked eggs, cold baked beans, deep fried tough sausages, deep fried mushrooms, and no choice of type of toast, and finally the staff couldn't even be bothered to show us how to get out of the building, the front door being bolted.

Not far from where I lived in Stow, Massachusetts, just outside of town, I came across a very typical New England white cedar swamp, and was immediately drawn to it's unique beauty.
Barely noticeable from the road, and not easily accessible, one has work hard to actually wade through it, however once inside it feels like you are on a completely different planet. In the swamp you lose the sense of seasons and the surreal landscape tricks your eyes into appearing infinite, dark, deep and dead. Far from being dead, as you tread carefully through the tea-coloured water, you start to notice all the life in these unique ecosystem.
With my camera I tried to capture that life and those emotions and colours, enhancing some of these photos to bring out the surreal beauty of this incredible place.
I was born in Paris, which makes me French. I grew up in a family of painters, sculptors and art merchants. In France and Italy, I studied under the artists Gérard Ambroselli, and Antonietta Tuti where I received strong influences in impressionism and abstractionism. I was educated in Italy, France, England and finally in the United States where I lived for over twenty years. I have shown my work in the United States, South America and in Europe. For the past fifteen years in Switzerland, and now back in the United States, I have lived parallel lives, one focused on high-tech and the other focused on art, and until very recently never mixing the two. In this world of right-brain and left-brain I have found the stimulus for creating my paintings and my photographs. All of my work is based on abstract shapes and emotions I see and feel. Nature is my biggest driver.

[SMH | Text-only index]
Date: January 11 2013
MUSICIAN Malcolm Battersby shook his head, still amazed that he could sit on the deck of his little Tasmanian shack, while around him his friends' homes were gone.
''I have absolutely no idea why mine survived,'' Battersby said. ''I know that no firefighter could have stopped this.''
As small communities dotted around the Tasman Peninsula emerged from isolation, the almost-lost community of Sommers Bay was testament to the power of the fire that ran on after it took Dunalley.
Sommers Bay was the kind of place where people without deep pockets could make a peaceful home.
But last Friday Battersby, a 56-year-old English-born prog-rocker, watched as the bushfire crested the hills facing him across the bay and raced down, fed by 40-degree temperatures and high winds. An hour after it had taken Dunalley, it was coming for Sommers Bay.
''The sky went red, the heat went red, and the smoke started billowing down,'' Battersby said. ''It got to the water's edge on the other side, and then it took two seconds to jump the water.''
''I hoofed it in my car. I'd already loaded my guitars and amps.''
He drove to Nubeena, where a friend still at Sommers Bay texted to say: ''My house is gone, and yours is going.''
He stayed at a refuge, convinced that anyone who stayed in Sommers Bay would have been cremated. ''Then I came home. It took me to Sunday evening to find that I still had a place.''
On either side of his house were chimneys and piles of roofing iron. At the front was his new view of black pencil-stick tree trunks and ash, as far as the eye could see.
It's losses like these that make local communities fear that once again, the tourist-dependent Tasman Peninsula will suffer as interstate visitors stay away.
Peninsula business was crippled for months after the 1996 Port Arthur shootings.
But despite the overwhelming toll of buildings lost in Dunalley and hamlets such as Sommers Bay, much of the southern peninsula, and Port Arthur itself, are green and unaffected. Firefighters beat the bushfire back.
''My message would be: 'Don't be frightened to come back, because the locals will look after you','' said Tasman councillor Joan Fazackerley.
The state has begun assembling a bushfire recovery taskforce, to be chaired by the former Commonwealth director of public prosecutions, Damian Bugg, QC.
At least 126 properties were destroyed or damaged in the fire, but after scouring hundreds more properties as well without finding any bodies, police are increasingly confident that no one died or was seriously injured.
■ Volunteers at Tasmania's largest bushfire refuge say thieves stole handbags and fuel in the chaos of the disaster. The refuge at the Nubeena civic centre on the Tasman Peninsula housed as many as 2000 people fleeing fires at the height of the crisis.
Many left private and hire cars behind when they were evacuated by boat at the weekend.
Police were yet to respond to a request for comment on the stealing claims.

Word of the Day: Happy
This is a common word in Shakespeare, with over two hundred hits in the Open Shakespeare search engine. Needless to say, I'm not going to go through all of them, but concentrate on one aspect of the word which has been a little lost over the centuries. Our starting point will be an innocuous little line from Romeo and Juliet:
PARIS Younger than she are happy mothers made.
Now, let us leave this line from Paris' argument with the Capulet about his marriage chances, and head back two thousand years to Ancient Greece, and three goddesses called Thallo, Arxo, and Carpo. These three goddesses were collectively called the Horai, the plural of the word 'Hora', which is best translated by our English word, 'Hour'. This should not be too surprising, given the resemblance between the Attic word and our own. What is important here, though, is not the word 'hour' but the word 'happy'.
The Horai had many roles in the long and tangled course of Greek mythology, but they are consistently representative of times of life and of growth. From this, the 'Horai' become those goddesses who represent many things which make humans happy: Thallo means 'one who brings blossoms' (youth); Auxo, 'one who brings increase' (wealth); and Carpo, 'one who brings food'. In the Greek tradition, happiness and timing are inextricably linked.
Skipping forward a few thousand years, and across a few thousand kilometres brings us to another example of the link between time and emotional state. In French, the word for 'hour', and occasionally 'time', is 'heure'. Put that word next to the French for happiness, 'bonheur', or for 'happy', 'heureux', and the resemblance is obvious. Now, back to the debate between Lord Capulet and Paris:
CAPULET But saying o'er what I have said before:
My child is yet a stranger in the world,
She hath not seen the change of fourteen years;
Let two more summers wither in their pride
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.
PARIS Younger than she are happy mothers made.
It is a debate, of course, about both time and happiness. Capulet's language looks back to the fertility roles of the original Hours/Horai with his use of "summer", "ripe", and even "wither". Meanwhile, Paris' reply picks up all these themes and the parental concerns behind them with the apparently simple "happy". Juliet will, in Paris' eyes, be both a contented mother and one made a mother at a good time.
Thus concludes our journey through Ancient Greek mythology, French happiness, parental concern, and juvenile eagerness. All to resurrect an ambiguity that is more common than one might think. After all, one notes a certain similarity between 'happy' and 'happen'. To finish then, here is a small smorgasbord of such ambiguous moments where emotion and timing are inextricably linked:
Two Gentlemen of Verona
VALENTINE My lord, I will be thankful
To any happy messenger from thence…
Richard III
ANNE God give your graces both
A happy and a joyful time of day!
Henry VI pt.3
KING EDWARD The harder match'd, the greater victory;
My mind presageth happy gain and conquest.
Henry V
HENRY V And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

Dress and grooming policies have been on the EEOC's radar for several years. For example:
Other examples of religious garb or grooming that could conflict with workplace policies include a Sikh turban, a Pentecostal Christian or Orthodox Jewish woman's practice of not wearing pants or short skirts, or hair length observances such as Sikh uncut hair and beard, or Jewish peyes.
These examples ask an important question, which, last week, the EEOC attempted to answer. When must an employer grant an exception to its facially neutral dress or grooming policy as an accommodation of an employee's religion?
Before we delve into this question, however, you need to understand the legal framework in which this question exists.
"Religion" is among the classes that Title VII protects from workplace discrimination. Religion, however, is unique under Title VII. Title VII requires an employer, once on notice, to reasonably accommodate an employee whose sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance conflicts with a work requirement, unless providing the accommodation would create an undue hardship. In this context, undue hardship is a low standard—the proposed accommodation need only pose more than a de minimis cost or burden.
Because of the uniqueness of this issue, and its growing importance in our multicultural workplaces, last week the EEOC published a question-and-answer guide, entitled "Religious Garb and Grooming in the Workplace: Rights and Responsibilities." This guide addresses how Title VII applies to religious dress and grooming practices, and what steps employers should take to meet their legal responsibilities in this area.
According to the EEOC, Title VII prohibits an employer from doing any of the following:
What can an employer do, according to the EEOC?
To synthesize these Q&As into one cohesive takeaway, employers should train managers and employees that the law may require making a religious exception to an employer's otherwise uniformly applied, and facially neutral, dress or grooming rules, practices, or preferences. This training should include the reasonable accommodation process, and the importance of avoiding stereotypes based on dress or grooming.

MSI is set to introduce a special edition red version of its Wind U100 netbook on November 29th for the beginning of the famous IT Month here in Taiwan.
IT Month is a event held in the island's largest cities where consumers can pickup bargains on anything from netbooks all the way to flash memory.
Prices are slashed by insane percentages, sometimes up to 80% off - as we saw last year. Trade show halls are packed to the rafters with local crowds looking to pick up their next notebook on the cheap. Wait, that was me last year.
When the Wind Netbook was released earlier this year, it took the market by storm and delivered exactly what many users wanted in mobile computing. The new Cherry Red U100 symbolizes passion and nobility. When you carry it with you, you will feel energized all day long and become the center of attraction. Weighing just 1kg, the U100 has a 10" widescreen display, 160GB of storage, a long-life 6-cell battery as well as support for 802.11 b/g/n wireless networking and Bluetooth interface. These together with the large keyboard make the U100 the best choice for mobility.

Kerry not ruling out UN Syria resolution
US Secretary of State John Kerry says 'no decision has been made by the President' about whether the US will consider seeking a UN vote on Syria.PT0M0S 620 349
CNN has aired graphic videos of chemical weapons victims it says were shown to several US legislators as part of a push to shore up congressional support for a strike on Syria.
The Obama administration showed the 13 videos on Thursday to members of the Senate intelligence committee who were told they depicted victims of an August 21 chemical weapons attack in the war-torn country.
Excerpts depict convulsing children and men sprawled on the floor apparently vomiting and foaming at the mouth. Another shows what appear to be dead bodies of dozens of Syrians, including children, lying side by side.

The senators were told that the videos had been verified, according to CNN. However, the broadcaster said it could not independently verify the authenticity of the material and stressed that the videos did not show who was responsible for the attack.
The videos, posted on YouTube by Syrian opposition groups, surfaced as US President Barack Obama prepares to personally make his case to the American people.
Mr Obama will tape interviews on Monday with three network news anchors, as well as with PBS, CNN and Fox. The interviews, to air that night, will precede a presidential address on Tuesday.

Pope Francis led a mass peace vigil on Saturday in St Peter's square, underlining the Catholic Church's opposition to military action. ''War always marks the failure of peace, it is always a defeat for humanity,'' the pontiff told tens of thousands who gathered on the square for the four-hour event.
His appeal has been particularly well received by Christian minorities in the Middle East.
At a prayer vigil in Harisa, Lebanon, Syrian and Lebanese Christians cited the case of Maaloula, an ancient mountain village 60 kilometres north-east of Damascus where residents speak Aramaic, the language of Christ.
Fighting there began early on Wednesday when militants from the Islamist militia Jabhat al-Nusra - affiliated to al-Qaeda - stormed in. A nun said about 100 people from the village took refuge in the St Thecla convent that she helps run.
The 27 orphans who live there had been taken to nearby caves overnight ''so they were not scared''.

Click to go to information on each topic.
There are several steps you should take to increase the security of your computer, which can help to protect your personal and financial information.
Use a personal firewall.
To guard against unauthorized access, make sure you have a personal firewall installed on your computer and that it is turned on at all times. Many Internet service providers offer a personal firewall feature.
Set automatic updates.
Make sure your computer operating system (Windows for example) and your web browser (such as Internet Explorer) remain secure against the latest threats. Turn on automatic updates for both. Doing so provides security updates and patches that protect against the latest criminal attempts to attack your computer.
Install software that detects and blocks malware.
Malware is malicious software that is installed on your computer without your knowledge. It includes viruses, spyware and adware that infect your computer with harmful intent, for example to capture your login passwords or other personal data. By installing malware-detecting software, commonly referred to as antivirus and antispyware software, you can set it to update automatically to guard against new risks.
Be cautious of downloading software from the Internet.
Only install applications and software from well-known companies you trust. Many times, software downloaded from the Internet, such as free games, carries and installs malware.
Use a blocker for pop-up windows.
Typically, a pop-up blocker is available as a feature of your browser (such as Internet Explorer). Don't click on any links within pop-ups, as this may install malware on your computer.
Use a trusted computer.
When conducting Online Banking and financial transactions, it is best to use a trusted computer, preferably your own. It is a good idea to clear your computer browser's cookies and cached files, as they can store information about your Online Banking session. Refer to your particular browser's "Help" feature for directions on clearing cookies and cached files. Close the browser window when you are done.
It is not recommended that you use a public computer for online banking. When you use a public computer, there is the risk that the computer could have malware or a person using it after you could sign on to your account.
Avoid unsecured wireless networks.
Networks in cafes, hotels, airports, libraries and other public places are usually not secure and are easy to tamper with. Even if you are provided a password, that does not guarantee a secure connection. If you are unsure about the security of a public network, it is best not to conduct Online Banking while using it.

Eric Durrance is a native of Florida, where he used to party with the likes of Jake Owen. He then went on to sing with a Christian rock band called Big Dismal. They were named Band of the Year in the Christian Rock market by Radio and Records. He returned to country… and followed in his friend Jake Owen's footsteps by moving to Nashville… a few years ago, initially as a solo artist. He even opened for Lady Antebellum and Jason Aldean in 2008. He co-wrote Owen's hit 8 Second Ride, which lead to opportunities to collaborate with other hitmakers in Music City.
Now, Durrance is blending his roots by fronting a country rock band called the Tobacco Rd Band (named after a street outside of Tallahassee). Other members of the band include Lex Vance on guitar, Aaron Halford on bass, and Joe Markham on drums. They got together in 2011, and have earned a fan following with their brand of party songs for the country crowd.
Tobacco Rd Band has recently signed with the newly founded Silvercreek Records. Silvercreek started out as a recording studio and publishing company, and still has those operations in Mississippi. Songwriter Stafond Seago and producer Steve Pope are heading up the Nashville-based record label part of the business.
Silvercreek Records is hosting a launch party this Saturday night at Honky Tonk Central, on Broadway. Eric Durrance and Tobacco Road Band will perform at 10p.m. The show is free.

Also for previous version there is a patch that you can find in the attachment.
Thank you for fixing this much appricated:)
Vivvo CMS and Vbseo+vBulletin v3.7.3 compatibles?
Because, i don't access vivvo admin panel.
For vBulletin integration when i added functions_login.php following codes " if (isset($_REQUEST['logout_url']) && $_REQUEST['logout_url'] != ''){
header('Location: ' . $_REQUEST['logout_url']);
} " getting error it seems like :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /**/***/****/visa/includes/functions_login.php on line 419
( line 419 have just "?>" )
I installed trial vivvo script and i'm using vBulletin Version 3.7.3.
How to fix?
I tried to install this bridge. I have followed the instructions and also turned off Vivvo comments.
I have replaced the comment.tpl with vb_comment.tpl.
Login via the forums seem to work fine so the bridge is active.
BUT - the login form is gone, whether a member is logged in or not.
Strike that. Guests see the login form. But after logging in, it vanishes - so the "Submit article" link and logout link is gone.
Ack. Strike that, too. I had customized the login form and forgot to reapply some changes. Sorry, sorry. :)
I have installed the patch IT DOES NOT WORK in fact screwed thigs up

There were so many beautiful dresses to admire on the red carpet at the 2014 Met Gala on May 5, 2014 in New York City according to RCFA. No design came close to the gown worn by the beautiful Karolina Kurkova. This year's theme was called White Tie And Decorations. Guests were encouraged to wear something a bit retro and we expected to see many ballgowns.
Karolina stepped out in a dramatic and ultra feminine strapless blue ballgown from the 2011 spring collection by Marchesa. The look was very retro and very Charles James. This year's Met Gala was being held to celebrate the new exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum Of Art called CHARLES JAMES: Beyond Fashion which runs from May 8, 2014 - August 10, 2014. The exhibition will look at this amazing designer's career and will showcase 75 of his most impressive designs.
The Marchesa ballgown Karolina selected was strapless and featured a winged bodice. There were two-tiers of fabric adorned with giant white florals that appeared to be painted and 3-dimensional. She kept everything minimal including her hair, makeup and accessories. She did add a jaw-dropping diamond Harry Winston choker.
Two of my other fashion favorites were Dita Von Teese in an ivory and red fishtail gown by Zac Posen and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a short black and gold design Balmain.
Bravo Marchesa for creating such a beautiful look for Karolina. Simply breathtaking!

This small but densely populated island country consists of a series of volcanic hills rising to a height of about 600-800 m/2,000-2,600 ft with a fringing coastal plain.
It is situated in latitude 20°S in the Indian Ocean about 800 km/500 mi east of Madagascar.
Mauritius has a tropical oceanic climate with moderately high temperatures and humidity throughout the year. Temperatures never rise to such high levels as to be really uncomfortable or dangerous, although on occasions the nights may be rather sticky and oppressive.
Rain occurs in all months but the wettest period is from December to April. During these months tropical cyclones occasionally strike the island or pass near enough to give very heavy rainfall and violent damaging winds.
The table for Port Louis illustrates conditions at lower levels on the island. The south and southeast coasts, being exposed to the dominant southeast trade winds, receive almost twice as much rain as Port Louis and rainfall is also heavier on the higher ground inland. Outside the main rainy season the weather is generally sunny and pleasant, with slightly lower temperatures and a strong sea breeze.

This blog post is a repeat from articles I have published on line. You can find this article on Articles Base, Go Articles and Amazines.
"It's only". This is the phrase that is going to get you in trouble.
I have found in my experience teaching budgeting and also doing one on one budget counseling that people who say this the most during our conversations have the most trouble.
I had a situation where I was doing one on one counseling with a couple. I was going through the budget with this couple and they were really struggling. When we got done going through their monthly expenses, I started looking over the numbers. I said "are you sure this is all you spend each month?" "yes, yes" they said "that's it". I sat there looking at them. The husband had a McDonalds cup and a pack of cigarettes in front of him. These things, as insignificant as they may be, were not accounted for in the budget. I brought this up. Then I heard the phrase that makes me cringe..'it's only $x.xx".
This is how people get in trouble!!! Buying the small dollar things here and there throughout the day. Those days turn into weeks and the weeks turn into months.
Think about it.
If you spend $5 per day by stopping at the gas station to get cigs/soda/candy/whatever you are spending an extra $25 a week in junk that you probably can't account for. That's an extra $100 a month not accounted for or $1,300 a year!!!!!!! And that is just one area of the budget! What if you did this in say 3 different areas of your life (think Walmart trips, extra grocery trips during the week, lunches out) no wonder people are broke!!!!
If you find yourself thinking "it's only" before you buy something, take a second to stop and think about if you really need item x. Chances are you wouldn't miss it. After all "it's only $x.xx", right?

Israel calls on Council of Europe to rescind anti-circumcision resolution 4 Oct 2013
Israel calls on Council of Europe to rescind anti-circumcision resolution
Circumcision of male children is an ancient religious tradition of two important religions, Judaism and Islam. Claims that circumcision harms young boys' health and body are false, and do not rest on any scientific evidence.
(Communicated by the MFA Spokesperson)
After the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a resolution against circumcision, Israel calls on the Council to rescind immediately the resolution.
Circumcision of male children is an ancient religious tradition of two important religions, Judaism and Islam, and it is also common among some Christian circles. Any comparison of this tradition to the reprehensible and barbaric practice of female genital mutilation is either appalling ignorance, at best, or defamation and anti-religious hatred, at worst.
Claims that circumcision harms young boys' health and body are false, and do not rest on any scientific evidence. Rather the contrary is true. For example, an
official paper published by the American Academy of Pediatrics
in August 2012 shows the health benefits of newborn male circumcision.
The resolution of the PACE constitutes, therefore, an intolerable attack both on the respectable and ancient religious tradition that lies at the base of European culture, and on modern medical science and its findings.
This resolution casts a moral stain on the Council of Europe, and fosters hate and racist trends in Europe. We call on the Council of Europe to act without delay in order to annul it.
* * *
On October 6, the President of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres, sent a letter to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Mr. Thorbjorn Jagland regarding the recent decision by the Council of Europe on ritual circumcision. President Peres asked Mr. Thorbjorn Jagland to intervene on this issue of great importance to the Jewish and Muslim communities:
"I was sorry to hear of the recent resolution stated by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the issue of the ritual of male circumcision practiced by Jewish and Muslim communities.
The ritual of male circumcision has been practiced by Jewish communities for thousands of years and is a fundamental element of our tradition and obligation as Jews. The Jewish communities across Europe would be greatly afflicted to see their cultural and religious freedom impeded upon by the Council of Europe, an institution devoted to the protection of these very rights. I therefore urge the members of this distinguished assembly to reconsider this resolution.
Dear Thorbjorn, you have dedicated a large part of your career to defending the civil liberties of citizens across the world, among other things by implementing fair and equal legislation in Norway and in the European Union institutions. I know how much you value the principles of freedom of religion and trust that you will exert your considerable influence in the Council of Europe for the sake of these fundamental rights."
Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Mr. Thorbjorn Jagland
responded in a letter to President Peres on October 8:
Thank you for your letter of 6 October concerning the recent Resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly on children's right to physical integrity.
I understand the reaction of many people, specifically from the Jewish and Muslim communities, to the Resolution.
First of all, I should like to underline that the Parliamentary Assembly is a consultative body which does not represent the position of the Council of Europe as a whole.
While our organisation is of course fully-committed to children's rights to physical integrity, nothing in the body of our legally binding standards would lead us to put on equal footing the issue of female genital mutilation and the circumcision of young boys for religious reasons.
In fact, female genital mutilation is specifically banned as a form of gender-based violence under the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. There are no similar legal provisions regarding the practice of circumcision of young boys for religious reasons.
For my part, I can assure you of the Council of Europe's continued and unequivocal commitment to tolerance and freedom of religion, which is not only a moral imperative, but a right protected by the European Convention on Human Rights.
Yours sincerely,
Thorbjorn Jagland

Science-based Education Critical for Students' Future
Steven Schafersman, Ph.D.
Texas Citizens for Science
2008 December 31
Well, that's reasonable: science-based education is critical for students' future. Who would object to that? Anti-evolutionists, Biblical Literalists, and Young Earth Creationists would object, that's who. A friend of mine, Jan Artley of Midland, Texas, former director of K-12 Science and Health at Midland ISD, wrote an op-ed column in the Midland Reporter-Telegram on 2008 December 14 with the same title as this news report. She criticized some members of the Texas State Board of Education for their efforts to use the science standards revision to undermine evolution instruction. Then two Midland Biblical Fundamentalists wrote replies.
Jan Artley is a Texas Master Naturalist and a member of the Midland Naturalists, the pioneer ornithology organization in West Texas. So am I. We both love birds, plants, insects, and nature in general. Little did I know that Jan was a former science teacher, science supervisor, and now a pro-science activist. In her op-ed, she simply pointed out that some members of the Texas SBOE want to damage science education by "undermining instruction on evolution, a unifying concept critical to the understanding of all biological science." She criticized Young Earth Creationists Don McLeroy and Cynthia Dunbar by name. She pointed out that Intelligent Design Creationism cannot be tested, "as it is not a scientific theory screened by peer-reviewed publications, tested or researched." Artley concluded by saying that "supernatural explanations have no place in the science classroom," and asked readers to write the SBOE members and ask them to adopt scientific science standards.
Jan was probably not expecting to being reviled in print by ignorant, anti-scientific Biblical Fundamentalists, but in Midland that's what happens. My city has a large contingent of religious-right, Creationist, Fundamentalist Christians who have no knowledge about science, but think they do. Two wrote back the next week, December 21. The first, Becky Lofton, made the usual ignorant statement, that "evolution is theory and not 'scientific' in the true sense of the word." She explained: "Science deals with what can be observed and reproduced by experimentation." She thinks evolution does not qualify as science by this definition. Evolution, she says, "is grounded in unproven 'beliefs' that are no more 'scientific' than the set of beliefs on which creationism and intelligent design are based. If science textbooks include one, they must give equal time to all three!" Finally, she admits she beliefs only in the Genesis account of creation.
Joseph Castillo is even worse. An educated person, with degrees in biochemistry and petroleum engineering, he defended his belief in Creationism by disparaging evolution. Making the same ignorant claim as other Creationists, he said the "basis of science is a consistent methodology of testing and proof which the 'theory' of evolution fails to achieve." He claimed that evolution "violates the second law of thermodynamics, and the law of biogenesis." Nowhere, he claims, does "evolution theory" document a single case "where one species has ever given rise to another species." Castillo states that "evolution is religion, not science." Then he got personal, accusing Jan of "censorship" and "scaremongering," finally claiming that "Our educators must recognize the difference between science and the religion of evolution. Teaching evolution alongside of creationism is consistent with the philosophy of modern education, and disregarding the creationist view is wrong."
Needless to say, I was appalled by such amazing ignorance, misunderstanding, and confusion about science. But these two represent many thousands of individuals where I live. Fortunately, others here asked me to write a reply, which I did on December 28. The scanned op-ed and letters can be found here (the Midland Reporter-Telegram does not archive letters on its website). Here is my letter:
Evolution not debatable; it's scientific fact
It is unfortunate that Midland citizens write disparagingly about biological evolution. The past and present occurrence of evolution has been uncontroversial among biologists since the 1870s and is considered as factual as the existence of gravity, atoms and genes.
The understanding of evolutionary principles is essential to understanding modern biology, and our Texas students are at a significant disadvantage in the technical global marketplace when parents and Sunday School teachers tell students untrue information about evolution. Last week's letters continue the misguided effort to damage science education by stating very untrue things about evolution. Individuals that believe in Biblical Literalism consider evolution a threat and actively oppose the idea, and the two letter-writers make clear that this is their religious belief.
Fortunately, most religions have no trouble accepting evolution as a natural process as part of their theologies. The majority of religious individuals and many scientists believe in an ultimate, cosmic creation by a Creator God, but view biological evolution as part of God's plan to begin and diversify life, including human life. Biological evolution can be actively observed in nature and has been well-documented in both living organisms and the fossil record.
Speciation can be observed in living populations and transitional fossils are well-known. Biologists routinely test evolutionary hypotheses in both the field and laboratory, and biologists in our state's universities are actively conducting such research. Common evolutionary processes such as speciation, diversification and common descent are not controversial and are accepted as completely factual. Evolution is perfectly consistent with thermodynamic theory and biogenesis. The Web contains an immense amount of documentation and evidence about these facts, so there is no excuse for continuing to confuse readers with misrepresentations, as the letter-writers do.
The claim that evolution is a religious belief is both laughable and untrue. Evolutionary biology is mainstream science and based on empiricism, logic and skepticism, not on metaphysics, so no "presuppositions" are needed. Our state's science standards require high school students be taught about biological evolution, but often teachers fail to do this because they are unfortunately intimidated by ignorant, anti-scientific critics.
Another writer, Ken Andersen, wrote a letter published next to mine that vividly and unexpectedly illustrates the hypocrisy and shortsightedness of Creationists. Andersen said he agrees with the two December 21 letters, but they did "not go far enough." He continues: "The real debate or struggle is not about 'evolution' vs. 'creationism' but about teaching our children how to think (education) by presenting both sides of an issue with the pros and cons vs. teaching our children what to think (indoctrination) by teaching only one side (opinion) as 'fact'. We as parents should be concerned when we have public officials who think the latter."
What a wonderful suggestion. We should teach our children about both the flat Earth and spherical Earth, so by presenting both sides of an issue we wouldn't teach only the spherical Earth as a "fact." We should teach both the germ and humoural theories of disease, both the geocentric and heliocentric models of the solar system, both voodoo medicine and modern medicine. Of course, if Ken Andersen really gave his suggestion some thought, he would immediately see the frightening consequence--for him--of always presenting both sides. His church--in fact all churches--would have to teach evolution in addition to Creationism, teach both the creation of the universe by God or its eternal and continuous existence, and even teach the existence or nonexistence of God.
Then Mr. Andersen's church's Sunday School--in fact, all Sunday Schools--could teach the pros and cons of all the various Christian theological tenets through history, such as the existence of Original Sin or not, eternal infinite punishment for the finite acts of sinners or the universality of redemption, the human vs. Godly nature of Jesus, the factuality or mythology of the Resurrection, and the possibility or impossibility of life after death. After all, we would want our children to learn critical thinking, not indoctrinate them by teaching only one side--"opinion"--as fact. Indeed, parents should be concerned when their children have Sunday School teachers who think the latter.
In science, we don't waste time teaching students things that scientists long ago disproved, but provide them with accurate and reliable knowledge so they will be able to practice logical and critical thinking from sound premises.

TC TO VERNON LUSHINGTON ; 16 February 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18570216-TC-VL-01; CL 32: 90-91
Chelsea, 16 feby, 1857—
Dear Sir,
Here has a new Cromwell Letter just fallen in: there is no end to them,—and to us they are now good for less than nothing! If you can anywhere stick it in without trouble, alter the spelling, and do so;—if it will derange your plans at all, fling it aside. There is such a thing as having enough of old Marine-Stores,1 sent in upon one by all the blockheads of the Universe, be the pretext what it may! That History of Cromwell, as set forth in the First Edition, has got hardly any perceptible improvement by the endless cloud of bother that has prosecuted me and it ever since. "Discloses a curious particular" &c &c2—and it is not curious particulars, but a correct picture of the man whh we are in quest of at all.3
I was sorry to have missed you yesterday; come some evg: I am seldom to be caught in the middle portion of the day, except by a man mounted; and then if he is a right eques [horseman], we do very well.
I know not how Robson is off. Did he get the second volume from us? I forget. He says nothing,—which is the very best utterance he cd make of himself as things go.
Yours always truly /
T. Carlyle

Well, we now have another reason to be jealous of all those PAX Prime 2011 attendees. The first, of course, was that they got free OnLive Micro Console adapters just for making a free OnLive account and visiting the booth. Now, we're hearing that certain attendees got free copies of Borderlands 2 from Gearbox Software. Oh, and the Steam version of the original Borderlands is getting an update too.
See, Gearbox Software was holding a panel during PAX Prime 2011 to talk about its forthcoming games. 900 people went out of their way to show up, and all 900 then received free vouchers to get a copy of Borderlands 2 for free after the game launches. People just need to enter their redemption code at the Borderlands 2 site when the game is available to get theirs. The gift came courtesy of both 2K Games and Gearbox Software. What a way to show goodwill towards fans! It should be out in 2012, and Gearbox asked attendees to buy the DLC once it's released if they want to show their thanks.
As for the original Borderlands, that gets better next week on September 9, 2011. Gearbox is going to issue a patch for the game that will fix some in-game issues. It will also add Steamworks support, so people can take advantage of Valve's Steam Cloud for their game saves. Finally, it implements B Test, which will allow Gearbox to gather data on how people play Borderlands so the developers can make Borderlands 2 better.

Beginning in 2005, Jesuits in Canada have given the Magis Award each year to an individual or organization which has "gone beyond the usual" in order to serve Christ, as understood by St. Ignatius of Loyola to be expressed in what he called 'magis,' (pronounced mah-jis) which is the Latin word for "more."
A significant aspect of the founding of the Society of Jesus is the example that each of the fathers and brothers of the order are able to provide for one another, as a continuous reminder of what is possible when the mind and heart are fixed one-pointedly on an ideal. For a Jesuit, this will entail their following the vow of poverty (because Jesus intentionally set the example of living simply, working meaningfully, and passing time with others kindly); and the vow of chastity (in order to be able to live as fully-neutral with others as possible, and to be free of all debts -- while still living simply); and the final vow of obedience (in order to be free from attachment to all aspects of the secular world) and to be emotionally and philosophically untangled in order to stand in mediation between that of God and that of man, and to incorporate that of God in oneself and be able to see that of God in every man.
One of the elements of the Spiritual Exercises entails the capacity for discerning that of God in the very ordinary activities of daily living; and it is the gift of grace that is cultivated in the long preparation for entry into the Society of Jesus, learning to trust in God's love enough to make use of it in serving God, and in so doing, to serve others.
On Wednesday, April 9, 2014, nearly 300 individuals were gathered for a Mass of thanksgiving for the annual Jesuit Provincial's Dinner in Ontario, Canada, to celebrate the golden jubilee of Fr. Len Altilia S.J. and three other Jesuit jubilarians, honored for their 50 years of life as Jesuits:
"That 50 years is marked by one constant — God's grace, God's love, God's generosity, God's fidelity. Over the last 50 years there have been immense changes in technology, culture and the economy. But Pope Francis constantly reminds us that some things don't change. We can rely with absolute certainty and profound trust on the goodness of God .If there's anything I've learned in these 50 years as a Jesuit, it is to trust that love."
The first Jesuit school was founded 1548, in Sicily, following a unique approach to religious education that valued the significance of having a spiritual and emotional component, as well as mental and physical fitness, helping to develop the body, mind and spirit of the individuals in their care.
In his first teaching assignment as a Jesuit, Fr. Altilia recognized that it was an excellent fit for his particular gifts, and he has served as an educator in Jesuit schools for nearly his entire career – with a few breaks to assist with some administrative duties in the province of the Jesuits in Canada. Fr. Altilia also served in the vocation ministry, where he shared the realization that each one of us has a calling to a particular life "that expresses the love of God that was made manifest in Jesus Christ."
This was the experience of Ignatius himself as a young diplomat and soldier, having been disabled by injuries received in an exchange with French forces in the Basque territory; and as he recovered in his ancestral home, he began to read about the life and morals of Jesus in the "De Vita Christi," (Life of Christ) by Ludolph of Saxony, and experienced an epiphany of spiritual insight. According to Catholic University's Sr. Mary Immaculate Bodenstedt, in "The Vita Christi of Ludolphus the Carthusian," the mystical aspect of Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises -- the meditation on the narratives in Holy Scripture -- was passed on from this original text of Ludolph.
Ignatius then traveled to the Spanish monastery Santa Maria de Montserrat, dedicating his weapons to Mary, and donating his fine clothing to a needy man he met along the way. He then spent many months in prayers in the village of Manresa, in an intense effort to distinguish what had led him to follow a path to Goodness and to look more closely at what had led him to squander his time in meaningless activities, which he knew to have reaped no value for him whatsoever, but which nonetheless had been sorely tempting to him at first, by promising fulfillment; but in directions that had been utterly misguided.
Along the way, he began to take notes of his spiritual experiences day by day, which then formed the basis of the modest book he later shared with others who were also interested in developing their own relationship to God, which he entitled: The Spiritual Exercises.
Among the other jubilarians to have been honored in Ontario, was Fr. John Govan, S.J., who has spent the past 38 years introducing folks to those Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, as they have been passed along from that modest little book, over the past 490 years, assisting others to perfect the grace of their own spiritual direction.
Another Jesuit commemorating his Golden Jubilee was Fr. Michael Czerny, S.J., who is tan assistant to the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace in Rome, Cardinal Peter Turkson. Fr. Czerny founded the African Jesuit Aids Network in Nairobi, Kenya, and ran the facility from 2002 to 2010; having actively worked in the area of social justice "from Toronto to El Salvador," and also in Rome.
Another jubilarian whose 50 years as a Jesuit were commemorated was
Fr. John Perry, S.J., whose academic and pastoral career at the University of Regina, the Toronto School of Theology and the University of Manitoba, has also promoted the ideals of social justice through literature," as the author of "Myths & Realities of American Slavery: The True History of Slavery in America;" and "Catholics and Slavery: A Compromising History." Fr. Perry is presently teaching moral theology at the Kofi A. Annan Institute for Conflict Transformation in Accra, Ghana.
Others whose lives were included in the commemoration who had entered the Guelph, Ontario novitiate together in 1964 were three Jesuit provincial superiors now deceased -- Fr. Eric Maclean, S.J.; Fr. Bill Addley, S.J.; and Fr. Jim Webb, S.J., whose memories were invoked as part of the celebration. Among those who had not elected to become priest was Brother Paul Desmarais who teaches agriculture and ecological justice at the Kasisi Agricultural Training Centre, in Lusaka, Zambia. Included in the activities of this Centre, which is run by the Society of Jesus, are offering short courses in sustainable, organic agriculture; conducting field days at their own demonstration plots, farms and schools in the area; as well as preparing weekly radio programs for Yatsani Community Radio; and promoting the formation of study circles in the nearby villages.
On the occasion of this happy celebration, The Jesuits also honored the Knights of Columbus with the Magis Award, and the Jesuit provincial superior Fr. Peter Bisson expressed gratitude to the Knights, in particular, for their help with several projects, including renovations to the Martyr's Shrine, in Midland.

Hoosier Microgreens owner Alex Sulanke claims that his farm is "quite possibly" the smallest farm in Indiana--and at 120 square feet, that's not a big exaggeration.
"Microgreens are not a special plant, although they do have many special properties," Sulanke writes in a handout to customers. "Microgreens are simply a stage of growth which most plants go through. Microgreens are a superfood and a recent USDA study showed that microgreens typically contain 4-7 times the nutrition, by weight, of the same ploant fully grown. Microgreens aren't just nutrient-dense; they are also bursting with flavor and are a great addition to salads, soups, sandwiches, pasta, juices, smoothies and much more."
According to Sulanke, the microgreen stage of growth comes after the sprout stage. However, microgreens are not considered hazardous because, as the stems and first leaves of the plants, they do not contain the seeds, which can become contaminated by E. coli and other foodborne bacteria.
Sulanke said that he plans to expand the business beyond the guest room of his house, as well as expand the list of varieties he offers. He currently offers arugula, broccoli, cabbage, kale, mustard and radish. You can find him at the Indy Winter Farmer's Market Saturday mornings at the Indianapolis City Market.
According to the web site, Hoosier Microgreens seeds are GMO-free and organic.
Don't know what to make with your microgreens? No problem! Sulanke's handout contains two recipes.
Micro-Mustard Pesto--Place 2 cups mustard microgreens into a food processor. Add 2 roughly chopped cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and pulse. Add 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil while pulsing to reach desired consistency.
Micro-Arugula and Apple Cheese Ball
Soften 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature. Peel and dice 1 tart apple into 1/4-inch or smaller chunks. Roughly chop arugula. Stir apples and arugula into cream cheese. Shape into a ball and let rest in the refrigerator at least one hour or overnight.

Valery Demure's eye for accessories, brand knowledge and creative forecasting has seen her nurture and develop the careers of fashion publicists, journalists and designers alike. After studying art history in Strasbourg, French-born Demure went on to study press relations and journalism in Lyon with thoughts of becoming a film critic. An appreciation and love of art, movies and architecture saw her slowly working her way toward London, however, weaving her career between the different aspects that make fashion possible. Having since dabbled in events promotion, advertising and accessories curation, Demure's diverse background and unique ability to combine creativity with business nuance has ultimately led to the success of her namesake fashion showroom and press office.
What's hot right now?
I just went to NYC, and loved Maryam Nassir Zadeh's store on 123 Norfolk Street—well-curated and beautifully displayed. Owners Maryam and Uday are inspiring and super lovely people. Back in London, we had the most amazing food at a new eatery on Columbia Road called Brawn. Love the work of David Altmejd: very, very cool—sleek and sinister. And as I have a baby daughter, for me Little Fashion Gallery online boutique is hot hot hot!
What's accessories trend should we pay attention to right now?
For me, it is all about craftsmanship and quality of materials. Trend for me is summed up by "less is more"—wear less but wear unique pieces that are beautifully made. Some nice layering with fine pieces, nothing over the top. Less plastic more gold (as long as you can afford it). Fine jewelry pieces with pearls by Melanie Georgacopoulos. I love her modern take on the pearl necklace, intriguing and chic. Also, the whimsical printed scarves by Swash.
What's on your must-get shortlist for spring?
Any cool piece by Japanese label Sacai. I have actually ordered a few pieces at their s/s '11 showroom. Also a stripy sailor dress by Junya Watanabe, or a pair of nice black sandals with metallic parts by Giuseppe Zanotti—quite a futuristic look! And smoking' hot nail varnish by Essie.

Broadside Notes
A poetry broadside is a single poem printed on a single piece of paper; the printing is often done on a letterpress and for a special occasion. Distributed at rallies or plastered on walls, poetry broadsides flourished especially in the 1960s in America as part of the wave of counter-cultural communication. In the art context poetry broadsides reflect collaboration between poets, artists, letterpress designers and printers. There has been a renaissance of this form in the past decade.
"Winds Blow Through Me" was designed and printed by Meredith Winer at Greenware Press at the Chicago Center for Book & Paper Arts. Winer designed the print in direct response to her listening to the poem on the CD Merge. The entire project was letterpress-printed on a Vandercook Universal 1 press with hand-mixed Van Son oil-based inks and transparents, and Stonehenge 100-lb paper.
Each color of ink (or "blind emboss") requires a separate run on the press; this broadside entailed five runs. The first "layer" was made from two hand-carved linoleum blocks; this became the background: the rose-colored solid "flat" with the spine-road carved out of it. The second "layer" was the poem's text (set in Palatino); it was made from a digital file, from which film and then a polymer plate were made; this plate was printed in a brown ink. The third "layer" was the honey-colored text. The logo MERGE was printed using antique woodtype; Winer's press imprint was made by setting lead type into the press-bed at the same time, for a single run. The fourth "layer" was another hand-carved linoleum block, the tree, printed in a red ink. The final "layer," the music notation, was a "blind emboss"—no ink was used, just the texture of that which is being printed—in this case, it was another polymer plate (also made from a digital file from which film was made in order to create the plate). The musical notation is a transcription made by saxophonist Erik Lawrence of the music he improvised for the recording of this poem for Merge.
Winer printed 120 copies, each signed by the printer and numbered.
The broadside was printed on the occasion of the CD release, October
13, 2006. This is the first of several poems from the CD that Winer
plans to design and print.


text: Dexa Bone Density Scan Now Available Physician Connection Summer 2012 According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, half of all women over age 50, and one in four men, will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their remaining lifetime. Osteoporosis may progress silently for decades with no symptoms until fractures occur. Bone loss can be reduced by treatment, but it is difficult to restore the skeleton's micro-architecture once bone has been lost – making early detection and prevention crucial. To help your patients address osteoporosis before it becomes an issue, consider bone density scanning via the new Dexa Scanner technology now available at Rochester General Hospital and the Linden Oaks Medical Campus in Penfield. Coupled with expert scan analyses and therapy recommendations from the experienced team of RGHS osteoporosis specialists, this new technology enables state-of-the-art osteoporosis management, allowing your patients to enjoy and maintain more active, healthy lifestyles. Dexa scanners utilize an innovative narrow-angle fan beam, designed to deliver the most complete and accurate bone assessments available today. A Dexa scan detects subtle bone changes in a variety of clinical conditions, and provides exclusive advanced hip analysis and lateral vertebral assessment. Dexa delivers rapid scans and near-radiographic imaging with dose efficiency three to five times better than existing wide-angle fan beam systems. As a result, the bone's exact depth is determined accurately with minimal radiation exposure to the patient – ensuring precise, safe, reliable and consistent measurement of area, bone mineral content, and geometry such as hip axis length. For contact and scheduling information, call 585-92-BONES (922-6637).

Using Mac OSX 10.6, whether I use Terminal.app or iTerm.app, when I launch Python, I can no longer type accented letters (e.g.é or ä).
Any ideas?
I am using iTerm 0.10.
I would like to type in a string with accented characters (e.g. é) but when I do so at the iTerm prompt, no character appears.
This does not occur in Terminal.
Could someone help me find out what the problem is, and eventually fix it?
EDIT: In Terminal.app, I can use accented characters. However, when I launch the Python 2.71 prompt, I can no longer type in accented characters. When I quit python and return to the terminal prompt, I can again type accented characters.
In iTerm, although I quit Python and restarted iTerm, I cannot type in accented characters (I do not know if I could before).
