Stuggling with this one: In a simple economic model, time t is set up as a discrete parameter (possibly referring to days or months), while demand $D_{t}$ and supply $S_t$ are described in terms of the price $p_{t-1}$ and $p_{t}$ as follows: since prices influence demand "instantaneously", one puts $D_{t}=\gamma-\delta p_{t}$, but one sets $S_{t}=(p_{t-1}-\alpha)/\beta$ because the production of new commodities consumes time. Assume that all parameters $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta$ are positive, and set $p_{0}=1.$
1) Dervive and solve the difference equation describing economic equilibrium, i.e the situation when $D_{t}=S_{t}$.
$\Rightarrow$ $\gamma-\delta p_{t}= \frac {p_{t-1}-\alpha}{\beta}$ $\Rightarrow$ $\gamma(\beta)-\delta(\beta)\ p_{t}=p_{t-1}-\alpha$ $\Rightarrow$ $p_{t}=\frac {-p_{t-1}+\alpha+\gamma\beta}{-\delta\beta}$
Not sure if this is on the correct lines?
2)Compute the steady states $p^{*}$ and determine a condition on the parameters $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta$ that ensures stabilty of $p^{*}$.
Steady states $p^{*}$:
$p^{*}=\frac {-p^{*}=\alpha+\gamma\beta}{-\delta\beta}$ $\Rightarrow$ $p^{*}-p^{*}(\delta\beta)=\alpha+\gamma\beta$ $\Rightarrow$ $p^{*}=\frac{\alpha+\gamma\beta}{1-\delta\beta}$
Then we want $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta$ that ensures stabilty:
So we call $f(p)= \frac {-p+\alpha+\gamma\beta}{-\delta\beta}$ $\Rightarrow$ $f^\prime= \frac{1}{\delta\beta}$ as being stable $\frac{1}{\delta\beta}<1$ $\Rightarrow$ $1<\delta\beta$.
3) Assume t is measured in days and $p_{t}$ in Pounds sterling. Setting $\alpha=1, \beta=\frac{3}{2}, \gamma=2, \delta=\frac {4}{5}$, how long does it take until $p_{t}$ stays within a penny of $p^{*}$?
Not sure if I'm going down the right lines here, any help will be much appreciated, many thanks in advance.

A tropical paradise just waiting for you to discover.
Darwin Hotels Australia.Essentially a large town, the Northern Territory's capital is compact and friendly, with plenty of accommodation and activities to entertain the visitor within the city itself and a wealth of attractions and tours nearby.
Its northern location lends it a tropical climate with accommodation designed with this in mind.
Perched on the north-west coast of the "Top End" of the Northern Territory, geographically closer to Indonesia than to any major Australian cities, Darwin is laid back and cosmopolitan, home to an eclectic mix of people, many of whom allegedly came for a short visit and never left. And who can blame them?
More-or-less flattened by Cyclone Tracy in 1974, the city centre is predominantly modern, with some surprisingly stylish architecture, such as the imposing Parliament House, designed on the basis of a classical Greek structure with a modern twist.
The water is the main focal point of the city, the lively Wharf area, lined with restaurants and bars, providing a popular outdoor venue for eating or just chilling out with a cool beer. In the evening, regular cruises take visitors out from the harbour to watch the breathtaking sunset.
Darwin AccommodationWith a good choice of places to stay in this city, Darwin is well worth a visit for those seeking a laid back holiday in a culturally diverse city offering a wide selection of resort and hotel accommodation.

Renault has finally unveiled the 4th generation of the Clio, a model that now boasts lots of new content and a heavily revised design. Since the inception of the first model something like 22 years ago, over 11.5 million units have been sold in over 115 countries, and Renault is aiming at continuing this success with the new incarnation of the Clio that comes with a very modern and contemporary design inspired by the current aesthetic trends of the French brand. The front-end boldly shows off the diamond plated symbol of house, while new headlamps with LED daytime running lights characterize the machine and provides it with a very personal and distinctive look. Besides, the new range offers plenty of options for the customization of the car: Renault makes it possible for customers to choose among different finishes for its wing-mirrors, front grille, trunk lid, lower door caps and rims. The interior of the car is fully customizable too: customers will be able to choose the materials and colors of the car's upholstery and door panels as usual, but on the top of that they will also be able to select the color of the vents, gearbox frame, steering wheel and inserts on the dashboard.
The new Renault Clio will be available in a 5-door configuration only, but its pretty sporty look is not being ruined by the presence of the rear doors, whose handles are hidden by the windows within the frame of the door itself. The car will be launched with 8 different color options for its bodywork and will use a number of nice interior fittings culminating in its Renault R-Link infotainment system, which comes with a 7-inch touch screen embedded in the center of the dashboard. Vocal commands, customizable home page and ease of use are its strong points, and we have to say that the inclusion of this device on the car is somewhat of a unique feature in this segment.
The R-Link store will also allow users to download new applications at any time, although some other apps such as the TomTom sat-nav with real time traffic updates and the Coyote - a service available in certain countries only that warns the driver about dangerous roads and speed cameras - will be immediately available. As standard equipment, all variants of the new Clio will come with the Renault Bass Reflex, an advanced audio system that allows you to recreate the effect of a home audio system, with excellent bass performance, Bluetooth connection and USB docks. Keep on reading after the 'jump'.
View the full Renault Clio IV photo gallery
At launch, the engine range will consist of 2 different units, one petrol and diesel, which will then be joined in the first half of 2013 by the new TCe 120 engine. The new Energy TCe 90 is a small 3-cylinder terbocharged gasoline engine credited with an output of 90 hp and 135 Nm of peak torque available at 2,000 rpm, with 90% of the torque already available at 1,650 rpm. The consumption of this version is rated 4.5 liters per 100 km, with emissions of 105 grams of CO2 per km. The other 'petrol' is the aforementioned TCe 120, a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine that - thanks to direct injection and turbine - will boast an output of no less than 120 hp and 190 Nm of maximum torque at 1,750 rpm. However, this engine is still being tested at the moment an for this reason it is supposed to join the fold in the first 6 months of the next year. The TCE 120 will be mated to an automatic EDC gearbox (Efficient Dual Clutch), which will optimize the exploitation of the power produced by the engine.
As for the diesel option, it is a 1.5-litre Energy dCi 90 unit producing 90 hp and 220 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm, with a claimed fuel consumption of only 3.4 liters per 100 km and with average CO2 emissions of 90 g / km. The new Clio should hit the showrooms in the final quarter of the current year, right after the official unveiling at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

I don't want to sound like a prude... What I am looking for is clothing for a kindergartener that is age-appropriate. She's on the tall side, and the inexpensive clothing I've seen at Target, Sears and the like all seems to be a bit too Brittney like for me. I don't have the time to haunt the resale shops and the money to spend at Hanna Andersson. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
*Hanna Andersen (definitely check the web 'attic')and Gap both run 'boxy', so that when long sleeves fit, the waist will be way too big, falling off. I've given up on Gap for lots of reasons. Hannas sometimes have too small of an opening for the head, which makes pullovers actually painful -- be sure the neck has buttons or another kind of placket if your kid's melon is on the ripe side. But I've been very happy with some Hanna outfits, like a microfiber 'duster' coat she's worn for over one year now. Short sleeves help buy you time. Leggings are better than pants because there's more forgiveness in where the garment ends on the leg: as long as it's below the knee, it protects during climbing!
* Gymboree on sale -- definitely better than Hanna or Gap for long legs and arms and a less big tummy. Also seems to shrink less than Gap.
* Check out Children's Place (relatively new to SF, but my sister in law in Chicago has had great luck at their sales and has stocked up there several times. SF store is near Union Sq). Washes well. Fit is similar to Gymboree, nice and long without making her look like Kate Moss around the neck and waist. Trendy but cute, not risque, styles. *Old Navy has an outlet in San Leandro, right by the freeway. We've had some luck finding REALLY CHEAP basics (onesies, jeans, overalls, fleece for a couple bucks) without logos or tacky 70's stuff on them. Some of the waists seem bigger, too, but for denim overalls they can't be beat, because the waist doesn't matter so much, and the length is adjustable. ann

Ten Years After . . . Looking Back at the Buena Vista Social Club
In the aftermath of a long political campaign, it is worth dwelling on those rare moments when musicians put their unexpected stamp on the global-political situation. According to some accounts, Dave BrubeckÆs performance at the 1988 Gorbachev-Reagan summit contributed in no small degree in reducing the tension at this important event. Almost exactly thirty years earlier, Van Cliburn had done his part to un-chill the Cold War with his first place finish at the 1958 International Tchaikovsky Competition. And then, 40 years after Van Cliburn, we have the surprising rise to fame of the Buena Vista Social Club.
The recent release of the music from the bandÆs July 1, 1998 concert at Carnegie Hall give us an opportunity to look back on this ensemble and its fascinating story. Indeed, in the long history of popular music, few bands have enjoyed a more unlikely success than the Buena Vista Social Club.
Who would have anticipated that these musicians largely forgotten even in their native Cuba, would somehow enjoy a hit record in the United States almost a half century after their careers had gone into decline? Yes, they had achieved some local renown in Cuba during the 1940s, but even then their reputation had not traveled far. Yet the intervention of guitarist Ry Cooder and producer Nick Gold in 1996, and later filmmaker Wim Wenders' successful documentary, gave these old men unexpected exposure, an opportunity which they magically turned into stardom.
The groupÆs 1997 CD, simply entitled Buena Vista Social Club, is now a legitimate and defining classic of the World Music genre. It has sold more than 8 million copiesŚmore than any other recording of Cuban music in historyŚand is one of only two albums made in a non-English speaking country to be included in Rolling StoneÆs list of ōThe 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.ö
Yet this project almost never happened. Cooder and Gold had hoped to make a recording matching Highlife musicians from Mali with Cuban performers. But the African artists could not get visas, and in a spirit of ingenuity and desperation, Cooder and Gold pulled together an album over a period of six days in Havana, relying entirely on local musicians.
Say what you will about pianist Rubķn Gonzßlez (born in 1919), vocalist Ibrahim Ferrer (born in 1927), instrumentalist Compay Segundo (born in 1907) and their colleagues, but you canÆt claim that they lacked experience. Only someone as venerable as Segundo could get away with describing Fidel Castro, the Cuban leader of almost four decades at that time, as "the new guy." Flippancy? Not really. Remember that the battleship Maine was still sailing around Havana harbor less than ten years before Segundo was born.
Of course, not everyone in the band was quite so old. Younger participants, such as bandleader Juan de Marcos Gonzßlez and guitarist / singer Eliades Ochoa, imparted a bit of vitality to the proceedings. The end result was an exceptional body of performances by smart and seasoned musicians who had spent a few collective centuries immersed in the aural traditions of their native country.
Success built slowly for the band's 1997 release. Every week, shipments inched up, as word of mouth spread about the Buena Vista Social Club. The enthusiasm of World Music fans was just the start. Soon this music was everywhere, crossing over to many who had never purchased a recording by a Spanish-speaking act before, or even those middle-aged consumers, usually lost to the music industry, who hardly pay attention to any new pop releases. Buena Vista Social Club was more than a big seller, it was a cultural phenomenon. In the aftermath, an artist such as Compay Segundo would find himself performing for everyone from the "new guy (i.e., Fidel Castro) to Pope John Paul II, and he could watch his composition ōChan ChanöŚwhich he wrote around the time he turned 80Śbecome enshrined as one of the most popular Latin songs in history.
The band certainly benefited from the hype and the odd PR angles that these musicians provided. But the music more than lived up to the publicity campaign. In fact, the music drove this unlikely success, bringing these musicians a wide audience that no amount of marketing can deliver. All this is captured on the dramatic live recording from Carnegie HallŚa track from which (ōChan Chanö) is featured as the current Song of the Day at jazz.com.

Moe Haruka uses the lines of Kanji (Chinese characters) to represent the nature of Japan, its expressions and its culture. She wants the viewer to smell Japan, without having to leave his or her country.
Moe Haruka was born in Kamakura, an ancient capital of Japan and a historic Buddhist center for Japan. She is a recognized artist and designer who started writing calligraphy at the age of 5. She has been the recipient of awards from the Japan Calligraphers Association in 1996 and 1997 and has exposed her work in Tokyo and Paris. She was also commissioned to design labels for Belgian chocolatier Galler and Italian ice cream confectioner Luna di Rome. In 2007 she worked with French chef Alain Ducasse on the design of menus and again in 2009 on a set design for a Kabuki dinner featuring actor Ichikawa Ebizo XI.
Please let me know if you have any question.
The calligraphy is in perfect condition and bears the seal of the artist.
Dimensions: 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 in); made on drawing paper (Actual calligraphy pictured on white background for scanning purposes.) Listed price include shipping charges by EMS.

On March 11 ESPN reports that Houston Texans coach Bill O'Brien is cleaning house this year and has just released tight-end Owen Daniels just one day after he said that he was willing to restructure in order to remain on the team. He only had one year left on a three-year contract worth $15 million. This would have counted for $6.25 million of the 2014 season salary cap.
Texans team also released Brice McCain this morning as well. They are trying to re-sign tight-end Garrett Graham to the team, who has garnered a lot of interest from the Buccaneers. Graham used to play backup for Daniels last season, then started in his place after Daniels suffered nondisplaced fibula fracture in week 5.
Owen Daniels signed with the Texans in 2006. he has had 385 career receptions, 29 touchdowns, and 4,617 yards. All of which ranks second in franchise history. As long as Daniels is well, he will likely be picked up by another team, with the best guess being the Baltimore Ravens since former Texans coach, Gary Kubiak, is now there.
What do you think of the Texans letting go of Owen Daniels? Was it a smart move?

« Little Theater »
This ungoing series of photographs explores humanistic and artistic themes. They are miniature sets that I've built myself with cardboard and poor materials and where I have included myself as the actor.
Within these images, there is a sense of time spent. It's a portrait of a journey. A battle through adversity, a liberation and a greater freedom at the end.
Here, there is constant play between imagination and autobiographical facts, between small, personal history and big history. Wars are fought, monumental sculptures are built and yet all this could fit in a shoebox or have happened in the virtual world of the computer. The work also deals with theatricality. There are many simulations but also their opposite: a quest for realness, a search to go beyond the image and to be more observant of substance.

Oct. 16, 1999
PULLMAN-Wash. -- Intensity was literally written all over the members of the 1999-2000 men's basketball team as the Cougars broke fall camp Saturday morning in the first of two practice sessions at the Physical Education Building gyms. In a move strikingly reminiscent of Kelvin Sampson-era practices, the practice jerseys worn by the Cougar players bore their number and one word: "INTENSITY."
"What's that old saying? Tough times don't last, but tough people do," new head coach Paul Graham said as he addressed the media following the morning session. "Based on what we've done in the past, I do think we have to become tough, especially being that we're shorthanded with size and depth. We have to learn how to compete. Like I just told the team a few moments ago, don't let fatigue turn you into a coward."
The session concluded with a brief five minute scrimmage where the white squad topped the crimson 6-5. Senior Jan-Michael Thomas scored first for the white, followed by a turnaround slam dunk from center J Locklier. Freshman Bryan Whitehead hit the game-winner, a seven footer from the left baseline, on the scrimmage's final possession. Junior Cedric Clark and freshman Nick Graham rounded out the white roster. Freshman Mike Malloy had a hand in all five of the crimson squad's points, hitting a three-pointer from the right wing, then later feeding senior Blake Pengelly on a perfectly executed screen play for an open lay-in. Freshman David Adams, sophomore Mike Bush and freshman Milton Riley rounded out the crimson roster.
ADDITIONAL PRACTICE NOTES: Three players missed the first day of practice...senior Chris Crosby is battling tonsillitis and has been quarantined from the rest of the team...junior Tyrone Evans is with his family in Texas attending the funeral of his aunt...junior Eddie Miller had some family matters to attend to in California..."I told those guys (Evans and Miller) to go be with their families. That's what's important."...Evans and Miller are expected to be available for practice early this week, while Crosby is listed as day-to-day...sophomore Mike Bush spent an extra 45 minutes after practice working on his middle-to-long range jump shots...in an effort to improve WSU rebounding, the coaching staff has implemented a drill involving a football-like blocking pad that that players must fight through in order to get to the basket.
YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS: Washington State opens the season with five freshmen on its roster (David Adams, Nick Graham, Mike Malloy, Milton Riley and Bryan Whitehead) for the first time in 14 years...the last time WSU had that at least five rookies on its opening day roster was the 1985-86 season...that year, the Cougs actually had six -- Neil Evans, David Hairston, John Hodges, Anthony Kidd, David Sanders and Brian Wright...five of those six names should be very familiar to the Cougar faithful, Evans (who redshirted the 1985-86 season), Hodges, Kidd, Sanders and Wright all went on to become four-year letter winners for WSU...the 1985-86 Cougars went 15-16 overall and 8-10 in the conference for Coach Len Stevens...this year's crop of freshmen would certainly like to have at least on thing in common with the 1985-86 rookies -- they were the last WSU team to defeat Arizona.
WOW - WHAT A SCHEDULE: For the first time since 1994-95, odds are that WSU will play home games against five different ranked teams...UCLA, Arizona, Stanford, Utah and Gonzaga have all been mentioned by various tabs in their 1999-2000 top 25...in 1994-95, all five teams were from the Pac-10: No. 17 California, No. 23 Stanford, No. 17 Oregon, No. 12 Arizona and No. 15 Arizona State (WSU was 4-1 versus those schools at home)...if one more Pac-10 team finds its way into the top 25, say USC or one of the Oregon schools, WSU will have home games against six ranked teams for the first time ever.
NEW OPPONENTS: WSU will face two opponents for the first time ever this season -- Southern and Texas-Pan American...also, Utah will visit Pullman for the first time since 1939, it will also be the first game between the two schools overall since 1972...the Cougars also renew dormant rivalries with Nevada (last meeting 1972), Colorado State (1978) and Portland (1990)...WSU's oldest rivalry, Oregon State, will reach game No. 260 this season...Washington State and Idaho will meet for the 255th time this season...the second Oregon game will be No. 254 in the series...WSU and Washington inch toward the 250 mark with games 247 and 248 this season...it will be just the second meeting with Grambling State, the first came last season when the Cougars handcuffed the Tigers to a 46-point, 114-68 loss at the Sun Bowl Classic in El Paso, Texas.
I WANT MY COUGTV: Washington State will be on the Fox network nine times this season, with the possibility of a tenth game (UCLA - March 9) if that contest has a bearing on the conference title race...three games will be shown nationally (Fox Sports Northwest locally) -- Dec. 11 Utah, Jan, 22 Oregon and Feb. 5 Washington...Fox Sports Northwest will broadcast an additional four games -- Nov. 29 Gonzaga, Jan. 13 Arizona, Feb. 12 Arizona and Feb. 26 California -- to a regional audience...two other road games will be shown in their local market -- Jan. 29 Stanford (Fox Sports Bay Area) and March 11 USC (Fox West 2).
FROM THE WEIGHT ROOM: Here are some of the pre-camp weight numbers taken earlier this week by assistant strength and conditioning coach Gary Calcagno...junior center J Locklier, who will redshirt this season under NCAA transfer rules, is the strongest Cougar by far with a 410-lbs. bench press, while senior guard Blake Pengelly is second on the team at 350 lbs...Pengelly also has the best vertical jump on the team at 36.5 inches from a standstill and 44 inches with a running start...his teammates are currently trying to talk Pengelly into participating in the team's slam dunk contest during the October 30 Basketball Bash '99...four of the six returning letterwinners showed a 50-lbs. or better improvement on their bench press from this time last season!...redshirt-junior forward Eddie Miller led the way by adding 60 lbs. to his bench (from 250 to 310)...Pengelly, one of the most diligent weight room workers, was right behind Miller with a 50-lbs. improvement (from 300 to 350)...redshirt-senior guard Cedric Clark and senior guard Jan-Michael Thomas also showed 50-lbs. improvements (both from 250 to 300)...sophomore guard Mike Bush went up 30 lbs. from 240 to 270...junior forward Chris Crosby had a modest 20-lbs. improvement (from 320 to 340) as of the August testing, but did not perform an October max with the team due to an illness...the top two frontcourt and backcourt weight room performers:
Bench Press Frontcourt J Locklier 410 lbs. Chris Crosby 340 lbs. Backcourt Blake Pengelly 350 lbs. Cedric Clark 300 lbs. Jan-Michael Thomas 300 lbs.
Vertical Jump Frontcourt Tyrone Evans 33.5 inches J Locklier 32 inches Milton Riley 32 inches Backcourt Blake Pengelly 36.5 inches Cedric Clark 30.5 inches Nick Graham 30.5 inches
Running Jump Frontcourt Tyrone Evans 38 inches J Locklier 36.5 inches Backcourt Blake Pengelly 44 inches Cedric Clark 36.5 inches
Body Fat Frontcourt Milton Riley 2.7 percent J Locklier 3.3 percent Backcourt Mike Bush 2.3 percent David Adams 4.4 percent
OPENING DAY QUOTES FROM PAUL GRAHAM: "We have three seniors coming back and a lot of new guys coming in and all positions are up for grabs. I don't care if we play all seniors and juniors or all freshmen, we are going to play with the five on the floor who will give us the best chance to win."
ON THE FRESHMEN: "They try hard. Two of them, Bryan (Whitehead) and David (Adams), probably don't understand what it takes to play at this level. Nick understands because he's been around that and he's seen it. The thing that freshmen have to do is understand how hard you have to play all the time, every trip down the floor. You can't get lazy. I'm sure this two-hour practice was as tough as any they've been through. Now they've got to come right back at three o'clock and do it again."

In 1762, John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, came up with
the ingenious idea of putting meat between two slices of bread.
Now, 250 years later, the current 11th Earl and the rest of the
Sandwich family remain passionate about the world's most popular
quick food that carries their name.
With the family's full support and help, we have developed a
concept that has created a sandwich we have all been waiting for.
Join us to reclaim and reinvent the sandwich!

Two cast members of the popular A&E reality show Duck Dynasty will be releasing a Duck Commander-themed Bible for the fall. "The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible" will be published in the New King James Version and will include a section called "Set Your Sights features" from cast members, Phil and Al, as well as life-changing testimonials. The book is said to focus on the five main values of the Robertson family, which are Faith, family, fellowship, forgiveness and freedom.
Publisher Thomas Nelson announced the Bible will hit Amazon and book stores Oct. 28. The release comes one year after the A&E TV series suspended patriarch Phil Robertson in response to the controversy which erupted after he commented that homosexuals would "not inherit the kingdom of God", in a GQ interview.
Paraphrasing 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Robertson said, "Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers, they won't inherit the kingdom of God."
This publication is considered a niche Bible, but this family does have a following. Some are excited about the upcoming book. The Robertson family has already published the "Duck Dynasty Devotional", which has received positive customer reviews on Amazon. Some online responses are questioning the franchise's motives and have even called this publication blasphemy.
Opponents to the book say right-wing Christians would be outraged if a liberal did his or her own Bible. S.D. Kelly of Christ and Pop Culture asserts the show's heavy marketing is wearing thin, especially when the Duck Dynasty family blurs the lines between business, faith and entertainment. Patriarch Phil Robertson said, "This is just one more way that we can present, as ministers, the message of Jesus to the world around us."
Robert Sanford, Vice President and Associate Publisher for Thomas Nelson's Bible Group, said in a statement, "We are honored and excited to be working with Phil and Al Robertson on this new Bible. The Robertson family's passion for the Word is infectious and the impact of their ministry is amazing. We see this Bible as being something people can grow with in their own personal walk with God."
Phil Robertson has never made a secret that he attributes the success of his family and business to being born-again. Alan Robertson, the oldest son and only one without a beard, will be co-authoring the Duck Commander Bible with his father. Up until a few years ago he was a full-time pastor. He left to join the family business. His focus is not the business of making duck calls however, he has taken on the business of managing the clan's celebrity status and licensing deals.
Working hard, living off the land, intact marriages, and regular prayer are values that aren't represented in typical TV shows and what really struck a chord with Christians. Due to the controversy surrounding Robertson's comments last year however, the Duck Dynasty show is down 28% in overall viewership and 40% in adults since April 2013.
As Christians we follow Christ, not people because they are famous on TV. Public heroes eventually fail their followers, usually very publicly. The devoted fans of this show seem to view the Robertson family as folk heroes. They follow and defend their heroes' exploits both on and off the show with a passion usually reserved for rockstars or politicians. Hero worship is a human quality and a human failing. For Christians though, only God is perfect and he is the only One who is worthy of worship.

With Gas prices on the rise who wants to travel when it's not necessary? If you're looking for a great place to have a bite and a good beer or Martini and don't want to travel into the city I recommend Schaumburg's newest spot.
Wicket's Bar & Grill located in Streets of Woodfield in Schaumburg next to Loews Theater. The menu consists of a quirky variety of great appetizers, gigantic bowls of soup, salads and the brickoven flatbreads are to die for. If you're a Burger afficionado they have the best hand-formed, cooked to order flamebroiled burgers this side of I-290!
The atmosphere is open and airy, there are screens big and small with every game, fight or race playing. A hint of music in the background along with a nicely lit bricked bar as the focal point, free wifi is available. There are a number of both domestic, imports and craft beers as well as a nice variety on tap. The Martini list is moderate but I have no doubts that the bartenders would create a fabulous drink of anyone's liking. Wicket's has daily drink specials as well as an appetizer happy hour on week days.
The hours are great for lunch or dinner. Wicket's is also open until 2am on Friday and Saturday, they have a fabulous "late-nite" menu for those who want a bite with their drinks. Wicket's is locally owned and is a great addition to the suburbs, I highly recommend giving it a try.

The State Senate passed the bill yesterday. And today, regardless of protester obstruction, the State Assembly did the very same. The legislation is now awaiting the Governor's signature, in which he said he'd complete as soon as possible.
As our elected leaders were attempting to do their jobs, Liberal protesters bombarded the State Capitol Building with chants and signs sporting the word "recall" among many others. Physical threats against government officials were also plentiful since this debacle erupted three weeks ago, when the 14 Senate Democrats went AWOL to Chicago. Liberal protesters also did a few million dollars worth of damages to the interior of the State Capitol Building, which I believe should be billed to Barack Obama's own "Organizing for America" and to the SEIU and other Liberal organizations that basically called for continued violence instead of civility and cooperation.
Michael Moore, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton all called for increased violence during the growing anger fest in the last few days. What if these were Conservatives calling for violence against government officials and their supporters? It would have made national news, whereas the words these three uptight and unintelligent men exhorted were ignored by the Liberal Media.
Thinking about the current situation throughout the last few weeks, what do you think would have happened if the Republican Senators went AWOL and refused to return to Madison to do the jobs they were hired to do for three weeks? What would have happened if the Republicans in Washington fled into childish hiding during the vote for ObamaCare at the end of 2009?
The answer is obvious.
Senate Democrats also cried out stating that collective bargaining rights were a "civil right" and that the passage of the union bill would be the "political peril" of the Senate Republicans. Again, what would occur if these words came form Republicans instead of Democrats? What names would they be called?
Again, the answer is obvious.
Now we await Governor Scott Walker's signature. Let this be the beginning of an extremely crucial trend that needs to happen all across these United States.

Get the Best Priced Merkur Thermostat
- Fast Shipping
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
- Lowest Prices
Merkur Replacement Thermostats
The Thermostat is a basic device of your car's overall cooling system which regulates the car's temperature. When the Thermostat registers a fixed temperature measurement, it triggers an internal valve in the radiator and antifreeze then flows through the motor.
Durable parts and accessories are necessary to keep that car in running order however demanding the roads. If it happens that your car or truck starts running rough, the best answer is acquiring a new high-quality OEM or replacement component to restore your car in like-new condition.
At times you need an auto part for safe driving or utilitarian concerns, and sometimes it's an item to enjoy; either way, find the best quality you can manage. Your Merkur always has been a well built vehicle but of course even the best-built cars and trucks will need periodic maintenance or repair of damaged components. When it turns out you want to buy Merkur parts, it's a great plan to get the most reliable auto parts available - and if you buy from Parts Geek you find affordable prices around all handled with first-rate service. Merkur produces well-regarded cars and trucks, and they are regularly observed on the American road. The quality manufacture and level of engineering that go along with having a well-made car or truck are reasons for remembering to use replacement and aftermarket components with the same level of value; such parts don't have to break the bank.

On February 29, 2012, Penn State's Office of Human Resources will begin posting staff jobs on a daily basis, Monday through Friday, on the Employment Opportunities website, www.psu.jobs. This site has been renamed to reflect the new streamlined process that combines both the current internal job posting website (ISJ) and the external job posting website (PSSJ). By combining the websites, we will be able to post jobs simultaneously for both internal and external candidates, allowing Penn State to more quickly list current job openings and create diverse candidate pools.
Staff jobs will continue to be posted for a minimum of one week. Enhanced search features and filters will make it easier to search for opportunities. In addition, the Personalized Job Search feature provides e-mail notifications when jobs are announced that meet your specified criteria. These changes are the first steps in making the system more user-friendly, timelier, and more conducive to creating qualified and diverse candidate pools for open positions.
Why is Penn State making this change?
This change will provide job applicants with more frequent updates on job openings, provide hiring managers with the opportunity to fill positions in a more timely manner, and provide the University with the opportunity to create more diverse pools of qualified candidates.
When will new job announcements be posted on www.psu.jobs?
New job announcements will be posted on a daily basis, Monday through Friday. All job opportunities will include a posting end date, informing potential candidates of the deadline to submit materials.
Will current Penn State employees be considered for open positions prior to external candidates?
Hiring managers are encouraged to choose the best candidate for the position, whether that candidate is a current Penn State employee or external applicant. Since the jobs will now be posted to only one job site, there will not be a one-week internal posting prior to posting externally.
Do I need to check the Employment Opportunities site daily?
All job announcements will be posted for a minimum of one week. The posting will identify the job posting date and the deadline for applying. As an enhancement to the Employment Opportunities site, candidates will be able to specify job search criteria with the Personalized Job Search notification system. This feature allows a candidate to set search criteria based on specific employment interests. If a position is announced that matches the criteria, an e-mail notification will be sent that day.

The Most Amazing Light Show Ever… What Al-Hamra's Show Should Have Been Like
December 1, 2011 Leave a Comment
Checkout Nokia's amazing light show, celebrating the launch of it's new Lumia 800 phone. The event took place in London on the river Thames, and I have got to say this: it was mighty super dazzling.
When I saw it, I immediately thought of the terrible boring light show Al-Hamra had a few weeks ago. Why didn't they get the guy who did Nokia's light show? Do you think it's too late for Al-Hamra to change their program? It would be so cool to have this light show in Kuwait.
You have got to check the vid out, it's the most amazing 4D show anyone has ever seen. They're using a huge building as the backdrop for the show, and you can literally see the building transform into a multi-dimensional surface. It's just beyond wow.

A Marriage License Witness... Surprise!
I think it's fair to say the typical witnesses who sign a marriage license are either family or the Best Man and Maid of Honor.
So what to do if you're looking for a flirty twist? Inspiration struck my fiance while we were meeting with our officiate Reverend Ed Holt, affectionately nicknamed "Reverend Holitnator" by my hubby. As he asked us who would sign the license my hubby proclaimed "I have an idea!" We listened and laughed. It was a very funny idea.
So here's what we did. At the conclusion of our ceremony, before the recessional Rev. Holt made an announcement to our guests... He said that "Usually the two people who are signing the marriage license are predetermined before the ceremony begins but tonight is very special... Tonight you ALL have a chance at being one of the two lucky "winners" of who will sign John and Stacie's marriage license." He then instructed all of our guests to "Look under your chairs and two of you will find pens taped beneath..."
Maureen was one of our lucky witnesses who had sat on a pen and our friend Heather found the other. Our guests loved it and everyone had a great laugh at our unique twist.
While not appropriate for a church wedding, if your wedding is in a less traditional setting this may be a fun, flirty and unexpected idea to try.

This is a video about the Saudi Women's campaign to drive of Oct. 26. I saw it over the news here in California, along with the religious guy who decided that driving will damage women's ovaries.

أقرت السلطات السعودية للمرة الأولى قانونا جديدا يمنع كافة أشكال العنف الجنسي والبدني سواء داخل المنزل أو في مكان العمل.
وتتضمن العقوبات عقوبة السجن لمدة عام وغرامة تصل إلى ما قيمته 13 ألف دولار [بي بي سي].
Saudi Arabia has, at last, passed an anti-domestic abuse law. Offenders, sexual and violent, will face up to a year of prison or a fine of SR 50,000. Maybe now husbands will finally stop beating their wives, and fathers killing their children.

Check out her first tweet. So badass. "I'll take it from here". It's right up there with the Terminator's "I'll be back". And will you check out President Clinton's shout out to her?! That's pretty awesome too!
The guy and gal she's thanking were the ones who created the hilarious Texts From Hillary on tumblr. Former US First Lady\Former Secretary of State\Former Senator got a healthy sense of humor.
Does @Twitter have a family share plan? Great to be here with @HillaryClinton & @ChelseaClinton. Looking forward to #tweetsfromhillary.

Here's a video shot by an American lady working in Kuwait. She's not a military worker, so she lives off base and be out and about in Kuwait like a normal foreigner. She works for a company that does business with the American Military in Kuwait and not married to a Kuwaiti, so her point of view is the closest to an average American as you can get.
The video here offers a nice glimpse into how an American would live in Kuwait. Just like a typical Kuwaiti, she goes to The Avenues mall on weekends. She speaks very positively about local women's sense of makeup and fashion, how shopping here is excellent, and what she would normally wear when going out in Kuwait.
I liked the video, it showed how Kuwait is really like. Lots of international shops, very normal dress attire (minus the hot shorts and tube tanks), and the abundance of American and international restaurants.
Here are some of her words about Kuwait (I just pasted a few short paragraphs, you can check the whole thing [here]):
First of all they are VERY accepting of American culture and lifestyle, for the most part. NO as a woman I don't have to be fully covered. We just have to be mindful and respectful. So sure I can wear a skirt or a short dress and they really cannot do much to punish you, but you just have to be willing to deal with the awkward stares lol but it's really not as strict here as you may think it is.
The cost of living here is quite expensive, the Kuwaiti dinar is almost 3 and a half times more than 1 US Dollar. The Kuwaiti Dinair also beats the Euro, so Kuwait is FAR from third world living, contrary to what most might believe.
As for the demographics here, Kuwaiti's are surprisingly more like the minority here. There are tons of Filipinos, Ethiopians, Somali's, Egyptians, Nigerians, Brits, Americans, Indians, Pakistani, and other races here as well. It really is quite a nice mixture of people
Did I tell you how much American culture is accepted here?! They have everything we have and much more: Krispy Kreme, Chili's, PF Changs, Applebee's, Buffalo's, McDonald's (of course) and ALL of them deliver.
I also love how the culture here is so beauty obsessed. Makeup artistry, plastic surgery and all things beauty are all the rave here. People are always looking for the next best thing, we have everything state of the art with beauty and cosmetics. Which makes the makeup artist like me fit right in

Time magazine chose Angelina Jolie to cover their latest issue. The actress shocked the world this week by announcing that she had a double mastectomy, to prevent any chance of her getting Breast Cancer in the future.
Al-Qabas posted the same news on its first page yesterday. They were ridiculously chastised by some ignorant and dense people, who apparently were titillated by Angelina having her breasts cut out. This is a scary fatal medical procedure, and not some sensual sexual movie scene you sick fools.
It took tremendous courage from her to go with this completely preventative procedure. Her courage might encourage other women to do the same too.
One of the sexiest women on earth chose to remove her breasts, which present a big part of her sex appeal, just so she may prevent the threat of cancer in the future. That sure will encourage a lot more ordinary normal women to do the same. To lose some of their vanity, and do something to prevent fatal cancer.
And if Brad Pitt, whom is also one of the sexiest men alive, supported and encouraged his girlfriend to have it; then it might also encourage ordinary and regular men to support their spouses in this.
Time magazine called it the Angelina Effect, because the news was huge and it will have a tremendous effect on the way people view genetic testing in death prevention from now on.

Well, Gerry, that's too bad. The attitude of "you owe me" is just plain wrong. QSLs are a courtesy. And someone like you has plenty of cards to send out. In working DX, it's not uncommon to wait 5 or 10 years for cards. Sometimes it takes that long. This attitude (not yours) just plain sucks and I understand why you've had enough. I can understand him asking you about the cards and being courteous. But demanding them is a different thing and just plain dumb. 73 and we'll miss you.

Sweet tea is a invigorating drink to sip on no matter the time of day. Having it on hand when you are thirsty, means being able to make it quickly. It also helps that it is an economical way of saving money and staying hydrated without all of the extras in soda's such as, the extra money being spent (soda's vs. a gallon of tea) and the extra additives that the soda's are made with. Let's not forget that certain teas have benefits that can actually do your body right.
iVillage.com states, "Tea doesn't have any calories, unless you add sweetener or milk. Consuming even 250 fewer calories per day can result in losing one pound per week," ("Today.com," 2005, para. 2). This is wonderful to know that it also helps you lose weight and increases your metabolism, providing you don't over do the flavoring of sweeteners.
Now knowing that it's good for you need to make sure you always have a glass or two ready to drink up when you are looking for something to quince your thirst. It isn't really all that hard to make sweet tea, especially if you are using a coffee maker. You just need to know how to do it and with the right steps it will become quick and easy to do. The last thing to remember, is to enjoying your appealing sweet tea at anytime during the day or night knowing that it is something you made with a hint of sweet health.
Reference: Top 10 health benefits of drinking tea. (2005). Retrieved from http://www.today.com/health/top-10-health-benefits-drinking-tea-2D12052713
Fresh water in coffee pot
Fill pot with cool water up to the water line on the pot. Do not recommend over filling past the line. This can cause the tea to overflow when being brewed.
Adding water to coffee maker
After filling the pot up with water, carefully pour into the top of the coffee maker. Most makers have a overflow hole near the top, so be easy with pouring to not over fill.
Adding tea bags
Use your own preference of what kind of tea you like. There are many to chose from; decaffeinate, caffeinated, lemon, mint, and they even have specialties such as, black, sugar cookie, strawberry, etc...
Bags of tea goes into the filter of the maker.
After picking out the brand and flavor you like, simply place them into the maker with the tags hanging over the maker (to keep those out of the water mixing with the tea bags).
Fresh brewed tea
Turn the coffee maker to the on position and sit back and let the maker do its work. When the tea is finished brewing, turn off the maker and pour the tea into the tea gallon container.
1 1/2 cups of sugar
Measure out one and a half cups of sugar and pour into the tea container. This will make the tea sweet and desirable. Make sure you put the sugar in before adding the hot tea. This will aid in mixing of the tea and sugar.
Pour the brewed tea into pitcher.
Now pour the hot brewed tea into the pitcher. Use the 'gentle pouring' method when doing this, if you do not you can end up making a mess or worse scalding yourself.
Same method as before
You will see that only one pot of brewed tea isn't enough for a gallon, so you will need to start over (but not completely). You will pour fresh water into pot, measure it out, and then pour into the maker. You already have tea bags still loaded, so just turn the maker back on and continue with the last pour. You do not need to add anymore sugar.
Finished sweet tea
Now you need to use a large spoon and stir the tea to make sure all is mixed and place into refrigerator. Although you can drink the tea hot, I personally like cold sweet tea.

Everyone has heard that the national obesity rate is becoming an epidemic of huge proportions, but is that trend only among adults, or are children affected as well? It only takes looking around a school yard to find the answer to that question. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), there are approximately 12.5 million children ages 2 - 19 in the United States who are obese (http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/childhood/data.html). Children who are obese have a higher rate of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea, gastro-esophageal reflux, and joint problems, and they have a higher possibility of becoming obese adults.
Exercise With Your Child Week is the perfect time to help reverse the trend of childhood obesity. During this week parents are encouraged to spend time with their children exercising and learning healthier ways to eat. "I don't have time" you say? Here are a few simple ideas to get you started:
- Eat dinner together as a family. Studies have shown that families who eat together are more in tune with each other and tend to eat healthier.
- Set limits on television, computer, and video game time.
- Encourage your child to join a sports team, either through your local school or a local gym. Even a weekend team put together by neighborhood children can be very beneficial.
- Do you have a WII? Make up your MII's and have a contest. Whoever exercises the most in a week's time gets to plan the activities for the weekend.
- Are you close to a park? Go to the park and spend 30 minutes playing on the swings, or the see-saw, or just walking
- Play catch in the yard.
- Take a bike ride together
- Visit the zoo
- Go to a local spot for fun
- Like to swim? How about a family trip to the pool or a lake
Exercising with your children doesn't have to be time-consuming or expensive. As little as 10 minutes a day can create a closer, healthier family. Try it for a week and let me know how it goes!

A former standout swimmer at the University of Arizona, associate head coach Rick DeMont is beginning his 17th season as a member of the Wildcat coaching staff. DeMont was named an assistant coach to the South African men's swim team at the 2004 Olympic games in Athens, Greece.
DeMont, a four-year All-American, began his collegiate swimming career at the University of Washington from 1973-75. As a freshman at UW, he finished second in the 1650 freestyle and fourth in the 400 IM at the NCAA Championships. A two-year and eight-time All-America selection at UA, DeMont swam for the Wildcats from 1977-79. In 1977, he was eighth in the 100 free and 200 IM and was the top individual scorer for the Cats.
DeMont is a former world record holder in the 1500m freestyle (1972), the 400m free (1973) and the 4x100 free relay (1977). He has collected numerous titles, including National, Pan-American, World and Olympic champion. Following his senior year in high school, he was named World Swimmer of the Year. DeMont also pioneered negative split swimming (swimming a faster second half of a race than the first).
At the 1972 Olympic Games, DeMont was stripped of a gold medal in the 400m freestyle, when it was discovered he had unknowingly taken asthma medication containing the banned drug ephedrine. The next year, at the World Championships in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, DeMont erased all doubts of his greatness with an unprecedented performance. He swam a world record in the 400 free and, in the process, became the first man in history to swim that race in less than four minutes. To this day, he is still struggling to regain the medal from the International Olympic Committee. DeMont was rewarded for his athletic accomplishments in 1990, as he was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
Considered a world-renowned sprint freestyle coach, DeMont has been the subject of feature stories and up-and-coming swimming technique articles in numerous publications, such as Swimming World, Swim Technique and Splash magazines. During his tenure with the UA program, he has coached an amazing 17 U.S. Swimming and NCAA individual national champions, as well as numerous national champion relay squads. In September of 1999, DeMont was inducted into the University of Arizona Athletic Hall of Fame.DeMont, 48, is also an artist whose paintings have been shown in local and national galleries, and some of his work can be seen on the walls of offices in Arizona's athletics department. DeMont has one daughter Angela, 19, who is a sophomre at the UA. He and his wife, Carrie, reside in Tucson.

I know it is proper practice to put a forward class declaration (@class ClassA) in the .h and #import "ClassA.h" in the .m. And also I know doing that can make compiler compile it later on(until #import it in the .m).
Usually we use @class ClassA in A.h meanwhile add #import ClassA.h in A.m, though the compiler would not compile ClassA in A.h, still compiler have to compile it in the A.m. So why not use #import in A.h directly?

so, my girlfriend of five years is pretty awesome. i mean, you couldnt ask for more from a girlfriend, she is completely supportive of all my endevors, gets along great with my fam, cooks and cleans out of habit (she is Susie Homemaker herself, i swear), and in general is a goofball. we've had some great times together, which goes without saying because otherwise i wouldnt have stayed with her for so long. but here is my issue....
i started dating this girl my freshman year of college, when i should have been getting all the wild and crazy .... out of my system. I never would have thought that we'd have made it this long when i started out, but i got really attached and so did she. anyway, i dated her all throughout college and now that we've graduated and moved in together, im starting to really feel that maybe ive made a mistake. the problem is, she no longer intellectually stimulates me anymore...we dont have interesting conversations and she has nothing to say to me that i didnt know was going to come out of her mouth before she did. she lives and dies for me, and because of it she has no other friends (doesnt have the best of times with my friends either), has no hobbies of her own, and in general is pretty boring to me now. on top of that, i go to the gym all the time to stay looking good, and she eats twice as much as i do and NEVER makes an attempt to stay in any kind of shape, and thus im not really feeling how she's going to look in a few short years. couple that with the fact that sex is almost routine, and you have me looking for a way out.
now, i LOVE this girl, and i dont want to hurt her, but im just not so sure that i cant do better. i mean, i could do without the cooking and cleaning if it meant i could find someone who could match wits with me every now and then.
guys, the point is, im not sure why im feeling this way, if its normal, or if i already know what i have to do and just dont want to go through with it. if anyone has any experience with this kind of thing it'd be most appreciated to float me some words of wisdom.
Hey hun/dude. I feel your pain - from bothes sides of the story lol.
I hate to tell you this, coz from the look fo your pst, you already know it but don't have the guts to do it - but the answer is really simple:
What is the good in coming on here to moan about it & ask for advice, when you have made no attempt to talk to her about any of the way you're feeling?! COz having had a bf of 5 YEARS - there is nothing worse than a guy who hass issues with the relationship but won't say anything about it!
You can hardly think things will just "magically" get better if you stay silent, play pretend that you're still deeply into her...because I assure you NO-ONE is strong enough to go on with a relationship like that & not go wandering. And that does no-one any good at all.
...Also...don't try to talk yourself out of going to talk to her by thinking "I don't want to hurt her", coz what's worse:
A) be honest, tell her your concerns - worst comes to worst, it doesn't work out still but she respects you for being honest.... or B) Pretend that everything is ok, talk yourself into finding her appealing still, end up cracking & chasing someone else, you break up and to her & everyone who knows you both, you come out looking like the superficial douchebag who cheats...???
I'm not saying she won't be upset - even if she doesn't show it, she will be. Coz us chicks are kinda delicate when it comes to looks (whether they admit it or not tis true) - and hearing the words
"I'm not into the way you look now"
hurts like hell. But after the initial shock, she will either wanna continue the talk a little bit, so prepare to be really open & honest - maybe even offer to do less threatening exercise with her (like swimming/bike-riding together - just you 2)/ or she will silently create a plan in her head... or she will feel overwhelmed & not want to be with you anymore. The latter will prob only happen though if she is more confident with herself more now than when you met.
So....go do that, and then let us know

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Blood transfusions are one of the most common procedures patients receive in the hospital but the more red blood cells they are given, the greater their risk of infection, according to a new study at the University of Michigan Health System and VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System.
For the study, researchers looked at 21 randomized controlled trials and found elderly patients undergoing hip or knee surgeries were most vulnerable, with a 30 percent lower risk of infection when fewer transfusions were used. Overall, for every 38 patients considered for red blood cell transfusion, one patient avoided serious infection when fewer transfusions were used.
"This is most likely due to the patient's immune system reacting to donor blood," lead author Jeffrey M. Rohde, MD, assistant professor of internal medicine in the division of general medicine at the U-M Medical School, was quoted as saying. "Transfusions may benefit patients with severe anemia or blood loss; however, for patients with higher red blood cell levels, the risks may outweigh the benefits."

This fun candy associated with the Easter holiday is better than ever now that Surf Sweets has made them organic.
These jelly beans are made without corn syrup – which is a huge plus – they are sweetened with organic cane sugar and organic tapioca syrup. They are also free of artificial colors and flavors. I'm not sure what makes them taste so good...maybe it's the combination of organic grape juice and organic black carrot juice – who knew there were black carrots?
For a sweat treat that's healthier than most, you have to try these.
Don't wait as The Easter Bunny is almost here: www.surfsweets.com.
