Is there a way to tweak Skyrim so that vertical cursor sensitivity = horizontal cursor sensitivity?
Under [controls] in Skyrim.ini (Found in "My Documents\My Games\Skyrim") there are two entries.
Change the YScale to match the XScale and all is well in the world again.
If you do not have entries for fMouseHeadingXScale then just add them. I set them both at 0.0100 and now everything is working much better.
The interface is still not perfect but the mouse seems to be working properly and the game is playable (to my standards at least) now.
I know it's not the best solution but it works for me until I find a better way.
I don't have the entries
I tried code's solution (messing with fov) and it didn't work either. So for now I only changed the aspect ratio standard to 4:3 or 5:4 in the options on the launcher. It's gonna be liveable until a better way is found.
A full solution is presented here :
If it's not enough, (like for me: old sys = low framerate + a widescreen), play windowed in 4/3.
A patch is coming at the end of november, maybe it'll provide a real solution.

Ohio's 17th District Democrat (Marxist) Congressman Tim Ryan, an allegedly practicing Catholic, said in reaction to the recent Hobby Lobby decision:
"I am very disheartened to hear that the Supreme Court has chosen to stand against decades of progress made by women. No woman should have to choose between necessary health care and having to pay their bills. This ruling will place many Americans in a difficult situation because of their employers' ability to force their religious beliefs upon them, and it will lead to an increase in unplanned pregnancies.
Today's ruling against women's rights not only turns back the clock but also ushers in a new era of uncertainty. Allowing privately owned corporations the ability to push their religious beliefs onto their employees opens the gate to possible injustices yet to be realized."
So Timmy, the federal government should be allowed to force employers, in contravention to their religious beliefs and in violation of their First Amendment rights, to buy abortion pills for their employees, so that their female employees can engage in sex without worry of having to carry their baby to term ? I wonder how Bishop Murray of the Youngstown Catholic Diocese feels about this?
One Christian Theologian puts it this way:
"If one takes upon himself the name of Christ but does not practice the way of life associated with it, he falsely bears the name. Such a person is like a soulless mask with human features superimposed on a monkey. For just as Christ cannot be Christ if He is not justice, purity, the Truth, and the estrangement from all evil, so cannot he who does not demonstrate the characteristics associated with this name be a Christian. Thus, if it were necessary for someone to express the meaning of the word 'Christianity' in a definition, we would say that it is the imitation of the Divine Nature."
St. Gregory of Nyssa
Not to mention that the federal government has absolutely no business dictating to individuals or businesses what benefits they must or must not provide to their employees. It's called liberty, folks.

Gulf County - With as much as one-third of high school students dropping out of school, educators put a high value on student retention. A local school district is setting a great example for others to emulate. For the second time in four years, Gulf County ranked as the number one district in Florida last year for graduation rates.
96% of Gulf County's high school seniors graduated in the class of 2010. Not only did that help rank Gulf County as the best in the state, the district also ranked second for fewest drop outs, with just .02%. Superintendent Tim Wilder says these numbers are extremely important, especially in the face of a tough job market.
"The economy is horrible right now, and the folks without those degrees sometimes suffer, so 4% not graduating versus ten or twenty; that's huge," Wilder said.
With a 19% African-American student population, Wilder made it a priority to bridge the achievement gap between minorities and white students, when he became superintendent six years ago. For the second year in a row, Gulf County's African American drop out rate is zero. Wilder credits what he calls a great staff from top to bottom taking part in child studies. He also credits smaller class settings.
"Through these child study team meetings and...the small environment where there's a name and a face. It's somebody's son or daughter, somebody's granddaughter or grandson, somebody's nephew or niece. It's not just a number at small schools," Wilder said.
The state's graduation rate was 79% this past year; about a 2.5% improvement.

I have no idea when or how it happened, but now I'm completely afraid to go in the water! I'll gladly go to the beaches here in Southern California, however now I'm content sitting on my beach towel blanket and soaking in the sun.
Here are three creative Summer craft ideas for your beach towels, a beach tote blanket, a beach towel mat with handles, and a cute towel sarong. Click on the link for full DIY instructions.

A longtime Minnesota pumper shares the design he favors for impact probes and manhole covers
When pondering the "tools of the trade'' editorial theme for this issue of Pumper, I'm reminded of my friend, Larry Fyle, of Nisswa, Minn., and his expertise at septic tank location and making the service routine more convenient for future visits to a residential onsite system.
Though Fyle is retired from pumping, and his service business continues with his son, Tony, he has some solid advice about making pump-outs go quickly and easily. While many of you utilize the same tools and techniques, a quick review might help technicians who are newer to the pumping business.
Fyle and many other sewage system evaluators in Minnesota carry an impact probe — sometimes custom-built — on their service trucks. Fyle showed me the probe he uses to find tanks, sewer pipes, distribution boxes, drop boxes, and underground trenches and beds.
Some probes use a T-handle and the probe has to be physically pushed into the ground. The impact probe is simply "hammered" into the ground until an object is detected. The impact probe is constructed so the probe rod can be "hammered" out of the ground as well.
Fyle demonstrated the probe for me. When the probe hits a concrete object like a septic tank, there is a distinct sound and feeling on the probe. A 4-inch plastic sewer pipe also has a distinct "feel." It is a little "softer" than a concrete object.
The impact probe will also locate the rock layer in trenches and beds. Again, the top of the rock layer has a distinct feel, and not at all like a concrete tank or plastic pipe.
The impact probe also can be driven through the rock layer, letting the user know when it hits soil again. In this way, the depth to the rock layer can be determined and the thickness of the rock layer can be measured. The total length of a trench, or the size of a seepage bed, can easily be determined without any digging.
A variety of probes are available commercially, or a machine shop with the proper equipment should be able to construct Fyle's impact probe design using the drawing included here.
Note the tip of the 5/16-inch rod is enlarged. This is to decrease the friction on the rod as it penetrates the soil. It is important the tip be larger than the diameter of the rod, according to Fyle.
Another critical feature is attaching the rod to the shaft piece. Unless the top of the rod is split before it is welded into the shaft piece, it will likely pull apart when the rod is "hammered" out of the ground.
An impact probe is a valuable tool for locating the various parts of an onsite sewage treatment system. This is particularly true of the older systems where there are no plans available, or no surface evidence where any part of the system is located.
Another convenient product Fyle points out is the tapered and notched manhole cover. The top manhole cover is at the ground surface for easy location of the septic tank. Safety and preventing unauthorized entry are the reasons for having another cover at the top of the septic tank.
If a septic tank manhole cover has a single taper, it can be difficult to remove. The advantage of a notched opening with a combination taper and notch is that the cover rests on the top of the notch and is readily removed.
The method to remove the cover located on the top of the septic tank is shown in the drawing. A chain is attached to a handle in the cover and the cover can be lifted out of the manhole by several means.
What about septic tank insulation?
In a cold, northern climate, what role would tank insulation play in septic system effectiveness?
In Minnesota and other states with cold winters and a potential for minimal snow cover, the major purpose of insulating a septic tank would be to prevent system freeze-up. In some cases additional heat is added to the tank, particularly if the system is used infrequently.
I am not a bacteriologist, but I have learned from colleagues that one of the optimum temperatures for anaerobic bacteria is the temperature of the human body. This is rarely achieved in a septic tank, but activity by the anaerobic bacteria in a septic tank would certainly increase as the temperature rises.
Typical septic tank temperatures in the summer in Minnesota are 50 to 60 degrees. Septic tank temperatures have become even cooler with the popularity of cold-water clothes washing.
Of course, heat is lost from the septic tank into the surrounding soil. An insulating layer of expanded polystyrene would reduce this heat loss and keep the tank temperature higher. Increased anaerobic bacterial activity would increase the rate of breakdown of sewage solids.
I believe it is a matter of record that septic tanks in the southern United States have a slower buildup of solids than tanks in northern regions. This is likely due to a difference in the temperature inside the septic tanks.
There is a trend for local sanitary codes to require pumping septic tanks every three years and to increase the required size of residential septic tanks. Given the trends, there is little need to worry about increased bacterial activity. The septic tank will be serviced and the solids removed long before any danger of the tank filling with solids. The tank needs to be kept from freezing under severe weather conditions. To prevent freezing is the reason for the insulation. n

A little room with a lattice window
Here i live there's nothing more
Outside concrete, grey and cold
This is my home, i'm the one who's left
The second made me be the one i am
The stories people tell here are heavy
And this is mine...
Oh my love was great,
Thought that i am the only one you need
You gave me the only
Meaning to my life
I changed everything for you
Said that we'd love until we die
And somehow
We made the words come true
The first year we were together
Nothing bad i did expect
Two people in a world full of honey
And slowly i got blind
Something happenedin the second year
We were kissing but our eyes weren't closed
And sex became a different thing
Than we did a few weeks ago
I didn't want to realize it
I didn't want to see
You said you went to the doctor
What a beautiful lie
For the time we didn't speak too much
And what we spoke was simply shit
I knew i would like to get rid of it
So one day you were calling the "doctor"
And i saw you leaving our home
I followed you to his place
And looked through the window
You were kissing
You were pissing
You were fucking that man
And i was watching you
So believe, i jumped through the window
To get you, my dear
I was taking the knife that i had
And ram it into your head

WEST POINT,N.Y.–It started out badly and ended with even a worse outcome for Boston College in a football season that has turned from sunny and bright to dank and dreary.
And it's not even Halloween.
This was the kind of day it was for the Eagles on Saturday.
The Eagles played in front of their first sell-out crowd of the season at Army's Michie Stadium, with a good portion of the crowd of 39,492 composed of BC fans.
Interim BC athletic director John Kane watched the parade of cadets ceremony on Saturday morning sitting next to Army athletic director Boo Corrigan–one of the leading candidates to come to BC as Gene DeFilippo's replacement.
Corrigan, for what it was worth, was wearing a yellow shirt and a maroon tie. As of Saturday afternoon he had not been offered the job. But sources familiar with the situation said that he would definitely be more than interested if the call came.
BC, as it has done throughout the season, had huge defensive lapses and fell behind 14-7 in the first quarter against an Army team which produced a pair of 9 play, 70 plus yard drives.
And as they had done all season, they came back and then allowed Army back in the game as it overcame a 24-14 second quarter BC lead.
Army, as it has done all season, fumbled away the ball twice in the first half, which killed potential Black Knight drives.
BC, which had a running attack in name only, went to Andre Williams for redemption of sorts for its deservedly criticized ground game.
All Williams did was break off a school record 99-yard TD run, pick up 161 yards rushing in the first half and score a pair of TDs which helped the Eagles overcome their early defensive breakdowns. He finished with a career-best 191 yards
All of this was a set up for a game BC needed desperately to win. And until the final 45 seconds it appeared as if they had done just that. They even appeared to have come up with the rarest of plays this season–a fourth down defensive stop at their own 1 yard line in the final 2 minutes.
But then it turned on the Eagles.
As it had done against Miami, as it had done against Northwestern and Clemson this season.
And the way it did in games against Duke, Northwestern and Wake Forest last year.
No fairy tale ending on this afternoon for BC. That changed in the time it took Army quarterback Trent Steelman to slice through a gap in the line for 29 yards into the end zone which turned a 31-27 BC lead into a 34-31 Eagle loss.
The 1-3 team became 1-4 and the Cadets, a team that was shut down by Stony Brook 23-3 a week, had won its first game of the season and looked unstoppable in doing it.
It certainly looked that way to BC, because the Eagles couldn't do it for more than a play.
Consider some truly frightening defensive numbers posted by BC.
Total yards allowed: 595
Total rushing yards allowed: 516.
Number of plays run by Army: 92
Army Time of possession: 37:38.
Three Army backs: Raymond Maples (184 yards, Steelman (141 yards 3 TDs) and Larry Dixon 128 yards, 1 TD) all rushed for more than 100 yards. Dixon averaged almost a first down (9.8 yards) each time he carried the ball.
The Eagles had some excuses–Two of their staring defensive linemen, Brian Mihalik and Kaleb Ramsey and another Dillion Quinn did not play because of injuries and Kevin Pierre-Louis, arguably the Eagles' best linebacker also didn't play because of an injury.
But injuries are part of big boy football. You have to deal with them and the Eagles tried. But they didn't do a very good job.
What was even more frustrating, amazing, disappointing (choose 1 or all) was that the Eagles admitted they basically knew what was coming and still couldn't stop Army.
"We were ready for them, we were where we were supposed to be," said middle linebacker Nick Clancy who had 15 tackles. "We just didn't do the job. It's as simple as that."
You could second and third guess decisions and mistakes made all day and all night. Why take a delay of game penalty which put BC punter Gerald Levano further back in his own end zone just before Army's game-winning TD?.
When a shanked 34 yard punt followed, Army took over on the BC 38 and scored in 3 plays
And there was the fumble out-of-bounds at the BC 5. On the ensuing kickoff. Had the kick off gone of bounds on its own, BC would have taken control of the ball 35 yards further up field and well…
You want more frustration?
The Eagles' offense again posted another 30 plus point effort, with a solid 420 yard effort, including a nice balance of 186 rushing to 234 passing, although those totals may be skewered by Williams' 99 yard TD run.
In the end none of it mattered. The Eagles had lost again and the cries for Coach Frank Spaziani's job will be at a rock-concert level this week.
As tough as this game was for BC, it was probably like a recess period for what the Eagles must deal with next week when they travel to Florida State as they pick up their ACC competition.
Spaziani cut to the chase quickly in his post-game press conference "There's no place to go but up," said the embattled BC coach.
With Florida State next week and a Georgia Tech which plays a faster version of the kind of offense Army ran at the Eagles on Saturday, BC might may still have to climb a bit further.
None of its good right now and it doesn't look like it will get better any sooner.
And for the voices who say they want heads right now–specifically Spaziani's, we have a simple question.
And what will that do? Create stability? Make the defense play better?
It is what it is and it is not good. Let the season play itself out, bring in a new athletic director and go from there.

- Have an understanding of the legal issues involved when lending to a 'sovereign'
- Discuss the choice of governing law and the choice of jurisdiction by concerning parties
Scope and syllabus
Course Units
Unit 1: Introduction to the law of International Finance
This first unit is intended to serve as an introduction to the topics you will study in the rest of the course. This unit examines the concept of jurisdiction and the need for international legal principles, and it also looks at various types of international payments and payment systems. In studying it, you will learn about different types of international credit that are available and about the international trade in securities and their settlement systems, and you should be well prepared for studying the following units, where all these issues are examined in detail.
Unit 2: Legal Aspects of International Debt Securities
This unit outlines and discusses the structure of primary and secondary capital markets, to examine the main legal aspects and terms of international bonds and outline and discuss the techniques, parties, documentation, marketing and distribution of bonds to international investors.
Unit 3: Legal Aspects of Financial Derivatives
Key aspects of the law relating to financial derivatives are presented and the various documents involved in financial derivatives transactions are discussed in this unit. The aim is to enable you to understand the objectives, economic functions and commercial justifications of financial derivatives by examining the most significant legal risks associated with financial derivatives and outlining the basic techniques for managing these risks.
Unit 4: Eurodollar Deposits and Syndicated Loans
This unit looks at syndicated loans. These are a common means for governments and corporate borrowers to raise large sums in the financial market. The unit starts on a historical note by examining the origins of the Eurodollar market, and it then outlines some of the main principles on which syndicated lending takes place, including the way in which syndicated loans are funded. A lengthy section is then devoted to an examination of a typical loan agreement, explaining the mechanics of a loan agreement and the significance of the main clauses. Because syndicated loans frequently take place in an international context, the unit goes on to deal with the various cross-border legal issues that arise, describing the potential impact of different legal systems and the significance of the governing law.
Unit 5: Payment and Securities Settlement Systems
This unit looks first at payment systems, including aspects relevant to foreign exchange transactions. (Given the main thrust of this course, the unit will focus principally on what are called 'large value payment systems' rather than systems for making payments in the retail market.) It will then look at securities settlement systems. In practice these are closely bound up with payment systems, since one 'leg' of the settlement of a securities transaction will generally involve a payment being made. (Many securities settlement systems now have payment systems 'embedded' within them.) The unit will go on to look at the main issues raised by the use of intermediaries to hold securities, since this practice is now very much bound up with the way in which securities settlement systems operate. You will conclude your study of this unit by examining the important role played by financial collateral in relation to payment and securities settlement systems, and steps taken to improve and clarify the legal position in relation to such collateral.
Unit 6: Project Finance
This unit provides an overview of project finance as a financial and legal technique and to describe and discuss the risks that a lender may assume in financing projects, and the risk management techniques available to him/her and their lawyers. The unit will also outline and discuss the main documents, transactions and parties involved in international project financings and introduce, outline and discuss the special legal and regulatory issues raised in financing international projects and investments.
Unit 7: Legal Issues of Sovereign Debt
This unit deals with various issues that arise when lending to a 'sovereign' – that is, a state, or some manifestation of a state (such as a ministry) or state-owned or state-controlled organisation. In it you will look first at the difficulties that stem from theories of immunity, such as the ability of a state to say that it cannot be sued and that its assets cannot be seized to satisfy its debts. You will then study an examination of the position in the UK and US, where the question of sovereign immunity is governed by statute. Finally, you will consider what happens when a state is unable to service its debt and what steps are open to creditors in such a situation.
Unit 8: Conflict of Laws and International Finance
Every legal issue under a financial contract must be determined in accordance with a system of law and litigated in court located somewhere regardless of whether it involves parties in different countries or within a single location. The question of which law applies and which law decides in an international financial contract is the subject of the conflict of laws (private international law), which provides a methodology and specific rules to decide the legal system with which an international loan or securities offering or international derivative transaction is most closely connected to. In this final unit of the course, you will study the choice of governing law and the choice of jurisdiction by the parties concerned.

My Heavenly Blue Morning Glory was pruned last week just as it began to bloom. Today is September 1. What can I do to save the blooming season?
Depending on where you are located, your first frost will be anytime from now till mid-November. In any case, This is an annual morning glory, so it will do it's best to flower and go to seed before frost kills it. These plants sense seasonal changes by day-length, temperature changes, and a couple other things. These things tell the plant Fall is coming, and they don't have much time left to live, so they will grow quickly, and put out as many flowers as possible.
Things you can do to extend the season are:
And it will depend partly also on how far back it was pruned. If it was cut back less than 1/3, that's the best case, and you should get flowers again in a couple weeks. If it was cut back by 1/2 or more, it is going to try to regrow that before flowering much, so if that's the case, don't expect too much from them. But as I said before, flowering is a high priority now for the plant, so don't lose hope.

Want to Understand the News of the Day? Read a Novel
Celebrated writer and DeCoursey Lecture Series guest Sir Salman Rushdie says literary fiction still indispensable in making sense of our times.
Media saturation, the rise of celebrity culture, and the role of the novel in today's world were among the topics touched on by Sir Salman Rushdie, award winning author and cultural critic, as the guest speaker for Trinity University's DeCoursey Lecture Series.
Wearing a grey shirt with charcoal grey slacks and jacket, Rushdie spoke to an audience of about 2,000 people on Monday, Nov. 7, in Laurie Auditorium.
Rushdie began his presentation acknowledging audience members using social media. "I think there are about a half dozen of you who tweeted at me, so hello to you, mysterious individuals," he said. He later added he has been actively using Twitter for about two months.
Rushdie then spoke on how literature must deal with the world we live in.
The novel, said Rushdie, has had a long history of functioning as a source for news. Novels would inform readers about society and provide information about their country. For example, in the Victorian era, readers of Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby were appalled to learn about the terrible conditions of schools for England's poor children. Outrage led to the British Parliament passing legislation outlawing practices written about in the book.
Today, however, with so many ways to receive news and information, conventional wisdom would appear to be that novels no longer have a main function to bring people news of what is really happening, said Rushdie, adding to some extent, that might be true.
But Rushdie said he feels the proliferation of media actually provides less credible information. "I can't help noticing the hollowness of much of what is passed off as news," he said.
This includes the current obsession with celebrity culture.
"I noticed, very depressingly, a newspaper article recently which said that Snooki from The Jersey Shore was apparently being paid more to come and speak to universities than Toni Morrison, the Nobel Laureate," he said, adding he worries about what is happening to the media when these are the kinds of stories that dominate the news.
Rushdie told the audience there was evidence the conventional news media are less able to "perform the job of bringing us information" due in part to economics and because many traditional newspapers are dying.
At the same time, the Internet does not yet have the resources to provide the type of coverage that traditional media provided. With this in mind, Rushdie said he believes there is still a place for creative artists and writers to present news and information to fill the gap, giving more details than what is supplied in a headline news format. He gave the example of literary writers, he felt, who were doing a better job of covering the Occupy Wall Street movement than mainstream press.
The reason for a critical look at the media is because stories are fundamental to understanding ourselves and our society.
"We are the story telling animal," he told the audience. "We rely on stories as a way of knowing who we are." That also goes for the grand narratives in our lives, such as the stories of family, religion, and nation, he said.
In a free society, Rushdie said, everyone has the right to argue about the story. "The argument itself, you could say, is liberty. The idea that you are able to argue about your society; to change and retell the story of your society," he said.
This as opposed to a closed society, where people in the government control the narrative and how it is told.
"That it seems to me - if you don't have power over the story - the definition of tyranny," said Rushdie. "And here's the strange thing: the novel becomes frightening to people in power, because it doesn't pay attention to their attempts to tell us how to tell the story."
This often has a harmful effect on the writer.
"Literature survives. Writers are the people in trouble," said Rushdie. "Yet I think all those writers, struggling against power - in spite of those dangers -will say nevertheless, that's the job."
The DeCoursey Lecture Series is made possible by the late Gen. Elbert DeCoursey and Mrs. DeCoursey of San Antonio.

The facts are out there is you are willing to look...
June 14, 2011 | 02:18 PM
The facts regarding our nations national debt are out there and are relatively easy to find. Here is a quick summary of several relevant facts that anyone with an internet connection can find:
1) Our nations $14.4 trillion deficit has been growing as a result of annual deficit spending for most of the last 30 years, long before Barack Obama became President. When George W. Bush took office in 2001, the national debt was at $5.8 trillion; when he left office it had risen to $11.9 trillion.
2) By the end of President Obamas first term in 2013, it is estimated that the national debt will climb to $17.5 trillion.
3) In terms of government run health care programs, for the year 2000 federal spending for health care (including the programs of Medicare and Medicaid) represented 19.5% of the entire federal budget, which at the time included no costs for wars in Afghanistan or Iraq. For the 2009 Federal Budget (pre Obama Care), federal spending for the Health Care consumed 22% of all spending. Government run single payer health care is now the largest expense for the federal government.
4) For 2010, 13% of the US population was over the age of 65; for 2030 the percentage of the US population over the age of 65 is expected to increase to 19%. This statistic is critical in any discussion relating to Medicare, government financed nursing home care through Medicaid and Social Security.
The following is an analysis of this data
As stated in Lisas column, You can't solve a problem you don't know or believe is there. Well, we have a serious problem in that spending consistently exceeds revenues.
Contrary to the opinion of many, both Republicans and Democrats are to blame for the excessive spending that has created this national debt. For example, Republican / Conservative Congressman Paul Ryan was instrumental in the passage of several big government programs including the No Child left Behind Act (more federal spending for local education), the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act (the largest expansion of entitlement spending since the administration of President Lyndon Johnson), the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the $700 billion bailout for the financial sector) and the Auto Industry Financing and Restructuring Act (the auto industry bail-out).
While Congressman Ryan has been criticized for his plan to restructure Medicare, no one else seems to be offering any other valid options. The bottom line is that staying the course will eventually lead to more deficit spending, which will transfer more of our current financial burdens to our children and grandchildren.
If the American people are not willing to accept cuts in costly entitlement programs such as Medicare, then taxes must be raised to meet expenses. However, the idea that we can tax the rich and businesses to solve our budgetary problems threatens to eliminate more private sector jobs and does not address the inequities in our current tax system in which 51% of Americans paid no income tax.
These inequities include profitable businesses and wealthy Americans who paid no income taxes due to deductions and loopholes, along with lower income individuals whose earnings are not taxed.
The idea that a majority of Americans can elect leaders who vote to increases the size of government while paying little or no in income taxes is a recipe for fiscal disaster as there is no incentive whatsoever to reduce spending. In order to bring equity to our tax system, it is time to bring an end to all deductions and loopholes and to adopt a flat rate tax system in which all incomes, including payroll, business profits, capital gains and inheritances are all taxed at the same rate.
As for the rate of taxation, this rate should be set during the annual budget process with the goal of having revenues meeting expenditures (the way in which local governments determine annual property tax rates).
Once all Americans are paying their fair share to support the services that government provides, we as nation will be in a much better position to determine how much we can expect the government to do for us.

President Barack Obama encouraged the estimated 10,000 Americans planning to attend the 2014 Winter Olympics to proceed with their plans.
In a CNN interview this morning, Obama said, "I would say is that if you want to go to the Olympics, you should go to the Olympics. And you know, we're not discouraging, in any way, Americans from participating in what is just always an amazing, wonderful event."
Among all the U.S. athletes, officials, judges, sponsors, and fans, his words are reassuring for those who are still on track to attend the Sochi Olympics. It is estimated that several hundred have canceled their long-planned trips, on the heels of nearby bombings, as well as threats of more violence by Muslim terrorist factions.
Obama has already stated that he would not be traveling to the Winter Games, due to "scheduling conflicts." His stance mirrors that of numerous other world-wide leaders who are bypassing this quadrennial event.
Still, he believe that the Olympics will be safe, despite U.S. Department of State travel warnings requesting that Americans be vigilant at all times, and restrain from wearing flamboyant, patriotic clothing.
"The Russian authorities understand the stakes here," Obama said. "They understand that there are potential threats that are out there. And we are coordinating with them. We've looked at their plans. I think we have a good sense of the security that they're putting in place to protect not only the athletes themselves, but also visitors there."
Russian President Vladimir Putin is staking his reputation and that of the country to protect the 70,000 people expected to attend. He has assigned over 50,000 troops to man the perimeter "iron curtain" that surrounds the mountain venues, the city of Sochi, and the "coastal cluster" of indoor arenas in the neighboring Adler town.
The International Olympic Committee, who chose in 2007 to select Sochi as the host for these Olympic Games, is meeting with the Sochi Olympic Organizing Committee on Sunday to review the current state of security, and recommend any additional actions to be taken to further protect the Games.

Imagine this. Things are going great in your relationship. You two have fights here and there, but nothing that surpasses the unusual couple-y fights that normally happen in any relationship.
One night you and the significant other are hanging out, and your boyfriend mentions needing to go to his best friend's house to pick something up, and it's no big deal to you, so you leave and head home, after spending some time with him. At least you got to see him at all, right? Once you get back to your place, you get on Facebook and his best friend has posted, while you were with your boyfriend, that they're having a little party. Why didn't he just tell you the truth? Why wasn't he honest with you about something so unnecessary? You wouldn't have cared if he'd gone to party with friends. Why'd he have to lie to you about it? It was completely unnecessary. On top of everything, he asked you text him when you got home, you did. He never gets back to you all night. Your mind wanders, of course.
Little lies are told throughout a relationship, some to save face, and some just to avoid fights. Some lying is necessary while other lies like these are not. There's no point to unnecessary lies. It doesn't help but make trouble in the relationship because doubt and suspicion are opened up with these kinds of lies. According to a Reader's Digest article, men will lie for only a couple reasons: for their ego, or to conceal something. It is a big trust violation.
Questions linger when lies are told, and it makes no sense why a lie would be needed, especially in this situation. The sooner you find the truth behind these lies, and reason for these lies, you are able to fix the relationship or fix what's going on. Or at least attempt to try to.
There are people out there called compulsive liars. People who can't help but lie, and they don't even realize it. Some have more severe cases than others, of course. They may even believe the lies themselves. There are realistic mental conditions out there that involve lying, but treatment is needed to get help in any way.
Pathological liars are out there as well. This is the habit of one's lying to get one's way while not considering the feelings or rights of others. Pretty much doing whatever you want, and just trying to cover your tracks. This is different from compulsive lying in the sense that these people know they are lying and don't care, whereas compulsive liars believe the lies and will defend them and seriously believe them, not just act like they do. Pathological liars lie to benefit from something, for themselves. It is always all about them.
But, keep in mind, not everyone who lies have any of these conditions. They could just be lying for the heck of it, not because they have a condition, so don't jump to conclusions, or feel sorry for anyone yet. You've got to do your research to make sure you figure out what's going on. Talking is definitely needed, especially if this isn't the first time it's happened. Sometimes a liar is just a liar.

In the current issue of Wedluxe Magazine, you'll find a Sea/glass inspired inspiration shoot. The shoot had some inspiration from both artisan glass and nautical colours. So for the design I did a pulled sugar (isomalt) and crystallized sugar cascading design. It's nice to use different mediums from time to time even if it means working with a blow torch and melted sugar. Yes it can get hot! You can see the whole feature here and as well in the magazine on stands now.

"Mama," my six-year-old daughter, Annabelle, says, "let's sew." She looks at me, her eyes already sparkling with ideas for projects. Aprons, pillows, stuffed animals.
The truth is, I do many things well. I can cook and bake. I routinely throw dinner parties for 20 people. I knit and write books and give speeches in front of a crowd of thousands. I do these things without fear, some might even say with a good dose of ease. But sew?
"Mommy doesn't sew," I tell her.
I could add that this is why many of my coats are missing buttons. When a button falls off, it stays off. But instead of explaining, I get out paper and paint, and together we write and illustrate a book about a pig and a dog that are best friends. Writing and illustrating a book? No problem. Sewing is something else.
Back in 1972, when I was in ninth grade, girls were required to take home economics. Half a year of cooking, half a year of sewing. That fall the boys marched off to woodworking and shop, and we went into the home ec lab. There, countertops gleamed and stoves beckoned. I happily baked cookies and brownies that we later served to the boys on silver trays. But when we returned to school after Christmas, the cooking part of home ec was finished, and we began sewing. On the other side of the home ec lab, Singer sewing machines lined the wall.
"Ladies," our sewing teacher barked, "by June you will have finished making a wraparound skirt, Simplicity pattern 101."
Mrs. Wylie used to shave off her eyebrows and draw them in with a red pencil, too high on her forehead, which gave her a look of perpetual surprise. Unlike our cooking instructor, Mrs. Follett, a gray-haired grandmotherly type who also taught us sex education ("Making out is what happens above the pearls, and petting is what takes place below the pearls"), Mrs. Wylie snapped and marched and tapped a ruler across her palms to show she meant business.
At the fabric store, I stood paralyzed beneath the bolts and bolts of possibilities. Other girls easily chose baby blue cotton dotted with small forget-me-nots or happy pink-and-white stripes. But I couldn't imagine how any of it could turn into a skirt, much less a skirt I wanted to wear. "Move along!" Mrs. Wylie commanded. Hastily, I grabbed the largest paisley print, angry brown-and-aqua teardrops on a yellow background. For the rest of the semester, I cringed whenever I had to look at it.
As Susan and Karen, my lab partners, pinned and cut, I poked myself with straight pins and mismeasured. My sweaty hands made everything even worse. By the time we moved to the sewing machines, I hated that hour of home ec more than anything else, more than the algebra I couldn't quite understand, more than having to shinny up the rope in gym while our teacher blasted "Go, You Chicken Fat, Go" on a record player.
Each week Mrs. Wylie fiendishly reminded me how slow my progress was, looking positively gleeful at my mistakes. "Ann," she told me one day, "you may be getting an A in English, but you are not getting an A in home economics." The sewing machine continued to jam, the bobbin remained mysterious, and thread flew off the needle regularly.
In desperation, the night before my skirt was due, I sneaked my pile of hideous paisley fabric home and begged my cousin to make it for me. She did. The next morning I arrived at the home ec lab early and slid the skirt under the needle as if I were just finishing it. Mrs. Wylie stood in the doorway, her penciled-in brows raised. She watched me, then marched across the room, picked up the skirt and said, "You did not sew this." Before I could protest, she pulled one thread and unraveled the entire thing. On the day the ninth-grade girls got to wear their homemade wraparound skirts to school, I stayed home in shame.
Now I have Annabelle looking to me to be her sewing partner. Online I order a kit that promises anyone can make the three small stuffed--pillow patterns inside. Even beginners can master these easily! Annabelle, who often sews the insides back into her ragged stuffed pig, Piggy, will probably have no problem. Me? I'm not so sure.
My husband and I adopted Annabelle from China in 2005, when she was 11 months old. Three years earlier, our five-year-old daughter, Grace, had died suddenly from a virulent form of strep. From the minute the Chinese-government official put Annabelle in my arms, there was no doubt that my heart could open big and wide again and love another child. What I worried about was whether I could allow Annabelle to be herself. Grace and her big brother, Sam, both loved swimming and putting on backyard plays. They liked the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel, Oliver! and Fiddler on the Roof. But by the time we brought Annabelle home, Sam was in middle school, off on his own path with friends and after-school activities. That left me at home to get to know Annabelle.
From the start, she made it clear that she had no interest in the music or movies Grace and Sam had been so fond of. It was almost as if she understood that she had to carve out her own path. Although I never could bring myself to say it out loud, I worried that I might make unfair comparisons between my two daughters. When you lose a child, that child stays frozen in time. Grace would forever be my quirky, funny five-year-old daughter. Easy-going and independent, she never threw a tantrum or argued. Annabelle exhibited frustration and stubbornness early, testing my patience.
Then Annabelle turned six, and both of us entered new territory. Indeed, Annabelle was growing into a sweet-natured little girl, full of energy and opinions. She whistled as she moved through the house, making paper crowns for her stuffed animals and weaving friendship bracelets and pot holders for us. There were no comparisons to be made, I realized. I had the good fortune of being mother to two very different daughters. When I held Annabelle close, gratitude always flooded me. What a strange broken path had brought the two of us together, I thought. Her mother in China abandoning her on an early September morning. Grace dying too soon. And here we were, finding our way together.
The sewing kit arrived, a bright-orange box filled with all the things that made me shudder: straight pins, needles with tiny eyes that needed to be threaded, patterns of a cat and an elephant and a dog, fabric and buttons. But Annabelle surprised me by tackling everything with gusto. All I had to do was sit nearby and cut around the curvy parts or vote on which color buttons each animal should have for eyes. In no time, we had three small pillows sewn together with straight, even stitches.
But before I could sigh with relief, Annabelle had a new plan: sewing lessons. "We can learn to use sewing machines!" she announced with so much enthusiasm that I couldn't say no.
On our way to the first lesson, I told Annabelle about my experience in ninth-grade home economics. "So you see," I concluded, "Mommy doesn't have very good memories of sewing."
She patted my hand. "Don't worry, Mama," she said. "You'll have fun."
By the time we walked into our sewing class, my hands had already started to sweat. Somehow the teacher convinced us that we could sew little birds and then attach them to a branch; she brought out a selection of twigs and fabric to prove her point. Annabelle happily made her choices, and before I had even picked out the flowered material, she was tracing and cutting and pinning her first bird.
Annabelle took to the sewing machine easily, her small fingers guiding the fabric as the needle worked its magic.
"Wow!" the teacher said, clearly impressed. "She is good at this!"
I looked up from my misshapen bird and grunted. My hands stung from all the pin pokes, and the heap of sloppily cut material in front of me made my eyes hurt.
When it was finally time for me to work on the sewing machine, Annabelle positioned my fabric just so and rethreaded the needle each time the thread snapped.
"Isn't this fun?" she asked me, and she looked so happy that I didn't have the heart to tell her how miserable I was.
At the end of that first lesson, Annabelle's three perfect birds sat on their branch. The two I'd managed to finish had stuffing popping out from my uneven stitches and heads somehow too small for their bodies.
Annabelle took my hand in hers and grinned at our work.
I never did finish my third bird. But two years later, Annabelle still goes to sewing classes. She designs and makes stuffed animals, pillows—-anything she wants. She is a good sewer, a fast reader, a poet. In the late afternoon, as the sky begins to turn from blue to lavender, we sit together, Annabelle with her sewing and me with a book. "Remember your birds?" Annabelle sometimes asks.
"I do," I say. "I remember."
And she climbs onto my lap, her body fitting just right against mine.
"How did I get so lucky to have you for my daughter?" I murmur.
"Mom!" Annabelle says, rolling her eyes.
Then she pulls her needle and thread through the fabric she's holding, making slow, even stitches. What I know now is that we are all, each of us, doing just that. Even a failed seamstress like me keeps sewing, in a way. There is my daughter Annabelle, and the memory of my daughter Grace—and there is me, carefully stitching our lives together.

Light rain falls across Valley; more expected
"There should be a four- to five-hour period of steady rain," meteorologist Chris Kuhlman said. "It should start tapering off at 5 a.m."
However, morning commuters can still expect to see scattered showers, he said.
The storm is expected to drop half an inch of rain in most of the Valley and up to three quarters of an inch in the higher elevations north of Phoenix, in north Scottsdale and east Mesa, Kuhlman said.
"No flooding is expected," he said. "There may be some washes that may run and maybe some ponding on the roadways that could caus a bit of problem."
For Friday, expect an 80 percent chance of rain before 11 a.m. in the East Valley with a lesser chance in the West Valley as a cold front moves forward, Kuhlman said.
A strong Pacific storm system is bringing the rain to the Valley and snow to the high country. Earlier in the day, the storm blew dust in parts of Pinal and Maricopa counties.
The dust reduced visibility below a mile as drivers were urged to use caution traveling along Interstate 10, Interstate 8, Arizona 347, Arizona 238 and Arizona 85.
Elsewhere, elevations 5,500 feet and above will see rain change to snow early Friday morning, with accumulations of 3 to 5 inches possible by Friday afternoon.
Partly sunny skies are expected Friday afternoon as the storm moves to the east. Lows should remain in the high 40s to the low 50s through the weekend.
There is a 40 percent chance of showers Saturday morning with a high of 59 degrees; those chances will drop to 20 percent later in the day. Sunny skies should return Sunday with a high of 62 and 65 on Monday.
About an inch of rain is expected to fall in the Phoenix-metro area, and parts of the high country in northern Arizona, including Sedona, should see about 1.5 inches of rain the next two days. Flooding can be expected near small streams and creeks, the Weather Service said.
The high country should see the first big storm of the season Thursday and heavy snow is expected to fall in Flagstaff through Monday.
A smaller storm system left a dusting of snow in Flagstaff in early November, but Coconino County officials are expecting much more activity from this storm.
There is a 20 percent chance of snow Thursday after 11 a.m., with a high of 43. Chances of rain and snow showers increase to 90 percent by Thursday night. The overnight low is 28 degrees.
About 2 to 4 inches of snow should drop through the evening hours and meteorologists warn residents that heavy snow should continue to fall through Monday.
In Flagstaff, there is a 90 percent chance of snow showers Friday, 60 percent chance on Saturday, 20 percent on Sunday and there are slight chances of snow Monday.
The high on Friday should be 31, 32 on Saturday, 35 Sunday and 42 on Monday. Lows should be 17 degrees into the weekend.
Four to 8 inches of snow can be expected to fall above 6,000 feet. Elevations above 7,000 feet should see 10 inches of snow.
County public works crews have been preparing for a storm like this for months, said Nathan Gonzalez, a county spokesman.
"Tonight, will be just another night for them," Gonzalez said.
The crews will focus on clearing snow from neighborhood streets, while assisting Arizona Department of Transportation crews in removing snowfall from the highways in the county, Gonzalez said.
Throughout the coming storm, residents are encouraged to stay up-to-date with the latest information on the Coconino County Twitter and Facebook pages.
Payson residents can expect heavy rain Thursday night and snow on Friday. There is a 80 percent chance of rain and snow showers Friday with a high of 43 degrees. Rain chances continue through Saturday and highs are expected to be in the high 40s and lows in the 20s.
Snow accumulations can be expected to reach 24 inches in the San Francisco Peaks above 8,500 feet.
Elevations below 5,000 feet should see heavy rain through the weekend.
Drivers are encouraged to be cautious and plan extra time for traveling. It is also encouraged to bring extra clothing and leave an emergency kit in the car, the Weather Service said.
Residents in the high country can call the Arizona Department of Transportation for road conditions and closures at (888) 411-7623.
Another low-pressure system is expected to move into the state next week bringing possible rain and snow to the high country. Rain showers are not expected in the Valley, according to the Weather Service.

Haitong Drops on IPO Debut
By Polly Hui
Shares in Haitong Securities Co. were down on their Hong Kong stock exchange debut Friday after the brokerage raised $1.68 billion in the world's biggest initial public offering so far this year.
Haitong, China's second-biggest brokerage by total assets, was trading at HK$10.56, off 0.4% from its IPO price. The benchmark Hang Seng Index was up 0.4% at that time.
The Hong Kong IPO market has been quiet to date this year, with Haitong, which is also listed in Shanghai, the only listing breaking the $1 billion mark. Hong Kong listings raised $2 billion in the first quarter, an 8% drop compared with the same period last year.
Haitong–which postponed its Hong Kong IPO late last year because of market volatility–sold 1.229 billion shares at HK$10.60 each, near the bottom of an indicative price range of HK$10.48-HK$11.18.
The debut will likely be watched closely by companies looking at IPOs in the city this year–including Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., which received listing approval this month for an up to US$800 million IPO and Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal Co., which will seek listing approval for its intention to raise up to US$1.5 billion in early May.
The Haitong IPO is the world's largest so far in 2012, topping Dutch cable network Ziggo NV's US$1.22 billion offering in March.

The latest new episode of "19 Kids and Counting" featured the love story of Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard, However a future episode will center on Michelle and Jim Bob and their quest for a 20th child. As revealed by TLC on May 9, a new episode titled "Couples Weekend" will include a visit to a fertility doctor to explore Michelle's ability to conceive, carry and deliver a 20th child. As posted by The Stir on Thursday, the mother of 19 revealed that she spends just $35 per child per week to feed her super-sized family. Is she looking for one more mouth to feed?
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are currently busy planning a wedding, overseeing the courtship of a second daughter, and raising younger children, but they've spoken publicly that they would always welcome a new addition to their over-sized family.
After their 19th child, adorable Josie Duggar, was born in 2009 three months prematurely and spent three months at Arkansas Children's Hospital, it seemed as if Michelle's childbearing years might be coming to an end. However, the Duggar parents tried again, but suffered a tragedy when they lost Jubilee Shalom on December 11, 2011. As posted by Mail Online, Michelle lost her 20th child five months into her pregnancy. The family mourned their loss during a touching memorial service that aired on "`19 Kids and Counting." Jim Bob stated:
We won't see this child's life and the phases that we've seen for our other children, but we know that we will see this child in heaven one day.
Despite Josie's early birth and the loss of Jubilee, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar from "19 Kids and Counting" stand firm in their belief that they would welcome another child, their 20th. According to the Christian Post, Michelle and Jim are excited to be grandparents, but they would be ecstatic to be parents one more time.
Despite the age of Michelle (46) and Jim Bob (48), the two seem determined to add another child to their super-sized family. So much that the two visit a fertility doctor to see if another pregnancy is even a possibility for Michelle. In the meantime, "19 Kids" and Counting" will continue to focus on Jill and Derick, plus Jessa's courtship with Ben Seewald.
Below are details about upcoming episodes of "19 Kids and Counting":
- Tuesday, May 13: "The Big Question": This super-sized 60-minute episode features Jill and Jim Bob's last days in Nepal. Jill volunteers at a birth center, while Derick takes Jim Bob for a traditional Nepali shave. As the trip comes to an end, Derick has a surprise for Jill. How will she react?
- Tuesday, May 20: "Something New." Jessa and Jinger head to Ben's house, where his sisters teach Jessa how to cook his favorite meal. In DC, Josh and Anna, along with Jana and Joseph, embark on a skiing trip. Michelle spends time with Joy Anna as she tries her hand at the violin. 9:00 p.m. EST.
- Tuesday, May 20: "Couples Weekend." Jill and Jana assist at a birth as Jessa documents the day in pictures. Then, Jim Bob and Michelle visit a fertility doctor. Ben, Jessa, and chaperone Jinger head to DC to visit Josh and Anna, who wants to show Ben the city, but Josh has other plans. 9:30 p.m. EST.
The eighth season of "19 Kids and Counting" comes to an end on Tuesday, June 3. However, don't be too sad, Duggar fans. Amy Duggar's new special is set to debut sometime in June. While speaking to a TLC rep last week, she informed me that the announcement of a premiere date is coming very soon. Stay tuned here for more details.
More about the Duggar family from "19 Kids & Counting"
The super-sized Duggar family includes mom Michelle, dad Jim Bob, plus children Joshua, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jeremiah, Jedidiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn and Josie. The family resides debt-free in Arkansas and stars in a weekly reality series on TLC called "19 Kids & Counting."

Beginning with the 7 p.m. kickoff and heading right until the final whistle, we'll be liveblogging the game, so, even if you can't get out to the field, you can keep up to date with the latest news.
And considering the impact that this game could have on the top tier of the Western Mass Top-10 Media Poll, there's even more reason for you to follow along.
Longmeadow's Joey Polverini had solid success against the Tigers last season, rushing for a pair of touchdowns at South Hadley, as the Lancers came away with the 26-0 win. But this year's Tigers team appears to have a little more bite than in year's past.
Will this make a difference? That's still to be seen.
But now for the moment you've all been waiting for: Spike's prediction.
