You just purchased the crowning jewel of your living room, a new big screen TV that will fulfill all of your wildest high definition fantasies, but out of the corner of your eye you see your child make a bee line for the television, you see your child reaching for the screen, you try to stop it but it is no good. Your TV just got its first greasy hand print.
You would think that grabbing the nearest cleaning solution and some paper towels would be fine for cleaning the TV, but this is not the best, nor the safest solution. When it comes to cleaning new flat panel TV's you have to be very careful because they are made out of materials that can be easily damaged by normal household cleaning products and paper towels.
Most of the screens used in LCD, LED, and Plasma televisions have anti-reflective coatings on them, and using the wrong cleaner could cause some serious damage, even paper towels can cause damage to your new TV, because they are too abrasive, and they could easily scratch the screen. Cleaning the screen of your new TV is a little more challenging, but it is worth taking a few extra steps to protect your new investment.
The perfect solution
When you get to the store to buy your cleaning materials you will be faced with a large selection of products that claim to be perfect for cleaning your flat screen. Most will come with a bottle of cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth is perfect for cleaning modern TV's thanks to is extremely soft surface, but the cleaning solution might not be safe at all.
Take a close look at the list of chemicals listed on the bottle, and you may well see that it has alcohol, or ammonia listed, and those my friends are the flat panel's worst enemy. Alcohol and ammonia are pretty nasty cleaning agents when it comes to TV's, and if they are used to clean the TV, the chemicals could (over time) eat right through the screen, yes that's right it will burn through the materials the screen is made from.
This is really more of a problem with LCD, and LED based TV's, because they do not use glass for the screen. LCD and LED TV's use a synthetic material that does not react well to alcohol or ammonia, Plasma in theory could be cleaned with a solution that contains alcohol as the screen is made from glass, however, Plasma screens are unique in the fact they have anti-reflective coating on the glass to stop light interfering with the picture, the alcohol will eat right through that protective layer of reflective coating.
The safest product you can use to clean your screen is distilled water. It is perfect for this task.
The great thing about distilled water is that it is relatively cheap, in fact it is much cheaper than the $8 or $9 the cleaning solution will cost you. Distilled water is free from impurities, and being chemical free, it is safe to use on LCD and Plasma screens. You can get a glass cleaning microfiber cloth as well, these are very soft and will not scratch your screen, unlike paper towels.
The cleaning process
So how do you actually clean the screen? There are some steps to take before, and during the cleaning process that will make your TV look shiny and new again.
Never start cleaning the screen with the TV on, or just after it has been turned off. The screen will be hot as these televisions can produce quite a bit of heat. Make sure the screen is cold, if you try to clean when it is hot, you will end up with horrible streaks across the screen that can be a nightmare to remove.
The second most important thing to remember is never spray, or apply the liquid directly to the screen. The screens are not sealed like they used to be on older CRT style televisions. If you spray water on the screen, it could potentially go right down into the case and you run the risk of destroying your TV. Instead apply the cleaning solution directly to the microfiber cloth, and then use that on the screen.
When you start to clean the screen, start at one end of the television and wipe from top to bottom. Do not use up and down motions, just one wipe, top to bottom. When done with the first wipe, move over an inch then wipe top to bottoms again. Do this until the whole screen has been cleaned, and yes it is a tedious process, but you want to make sure you are protecting your $1000 investment. Perhaps the last piece of the TV to be cleaned will be the bezel. When cleaning the Bezel (the case around the screen) use another soft microfiber cloth, because paper towels could easily scratch the case as well
Follow the tips listed above, and you will have the cleanest TV in the neighborhood. Just remember never use alcohol, or ammonia based cleaning solutions and only use a microfiber cloth. I recommend doing this once per week, even if there are no new sticky paw prints on it.

Fresh off a four day break in the schedule, the Los Angeles Clippers shook off some first half rust to beat the Detroit Pistons at Staples Center, 112-103.
The Clippers (49-21) opened up a first quarter 36-23 lead on a lay-up by Chris Paul for two of his game-high 28 points. Paul also registered 15 assists getting his 6,000th career helper on a dish to Blake Griffin late in the first.
"It's cool, it's an honor." Said Paul who reached the milestone in his eighth season and with Detroit Pistons hall-of-fame point guard Isaiah Thomas in attendance. "I don't know what it means in the grand scheme of things. I didn't even know I had 6,000 tonight."
After having an 11-game winning streak snapped by the Nuggets in Denver Monday night, it looked as if the Clippers were easily on their way to starting another one.
That's when Detroit made a furious rally going on a 24-7 run to take a 47-43 lead with just under five minutes left in the second quarter.
Jonas Jerebko lead five Pistons (25-43) in double-figures with 22 points including going 5-for-7 from the three-point arc.
"I am just trying to stay ready when my name is called." Said Jerebko, a three-year veteran out of Sweden. "Tonight I saw the ball go through the rim a couple of times. It made the game come a lot easier to me."
"In the first half I thought our defense was a bit sketchy." Said Clippers head coach Doc Rivers. "When you take four days off, you're going to be sloppy and late on a lot of stuff. I thought we were that."
The Clippers took a a 56-55 lead into the break and turned it up in the third quarter. Paced by Blake Griffin who scored 12 of his 25 points in the frame and turning up the defensive intensity, Los Angeles outscored Detroit 24-15 to take an 80-70 lead heading into the fourth and never looked back.
"We obviously had a poor second quarter," said Griffin. "We can't give up leads like that. I thought the coaches gave us the right talk in the locker room at halftime and we responded the right way."
Starter Matt Barnes had 14 for the Clippers as did Danny Granger off the bench. Darren Collison knocked down 11 while Jamal Crawford – in his first game back after being sidelined with a strained calf – chipped in with nine as did DeAndre Jordan who also grabbed 12 boards.
The Clippers are back at Staples Center Monday night when they host the Milwaukee Bucks. Tip-off is set for 7:40.

The legislative session at the state capitol in Oklahoma City begins today, February 3, 2014. An issue that many activists are working toward is to stop the call for an Article V Convention. Article V of the United States Constitution states that two-thirds of the state legislatures can call a constitutional convention to propose amendments to the Constitution. Oklahoma state legislators will soon be voting on resolutions calling for it. A rally to oppose a constitutional convention will be held tomorrow morning, February 4, at 8:00 AM at the State Capitol in Governor's Hall.
Proponents of an Article V Convention are attempting to limit the topics brought up at the Article V Convention to the single topic of adding a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Section X-23 of the Oklahoma Constitution says that the state government is required to have a balanced budget and yet the state has billions of dollars in debt. This was challenged in court and you know what happened? The Oklahoma Supreme Court essentially redefined the word "debt." The U.S. Supreme Court might do the same thing. Other groups have ideas for amending the Constitution as well (i.e. http://www.wolf-pac.com/the_plan)
The proponents of an Article V Convention say that the Constitutional requirement that three-fourths of the 50 states are needed to ratify any proposed amendments is reliable. However, the delegates could simply change the ratification process. They just might say that the approval of only 26 states is needed or that a simple vote of Congress will do. At the last such convention in 1787 all 13 states were required to make any changes to our nation's "first" Constitution (Article XIII of the Articles of Confederation) and yet the delegates decided that they did not like this so they lowered the bar to only 9 of the 13 states being needed (Article VII of the U.S. Constitution).
Once a convention is called the outcome is not certain. Once an Article V Convention is convened and amendments are drafted, the delegates may try to figure out some way to try and trick the states into accepting it. Some of the 1787 Convention delegates did not want to give the people of the 13 states enough time to thoroughly read and consider the new Constitution. They figured people would like it most at first but eventually reject it so they wanted to surprise everyone with it and get a quick vote. Some of the minutes as recorded in the journal kept at this convention know as the "Records of the Federal Convention" state:
Mr. Govr. Morris & Mr. Pinkney then moved to amend the art: so as to read
"This Constitution shall be laid before the U.S. in Congress assembled; and it is the opinion of this Convention that it should afterwards be submitted to a Convention chosen in each State, in order to receive the ratification of such Convention: to which end the several Legislatures ought to provide for the calling Conventions within their respective States as speedily as circumstances will permit". - Mr. Govr. Morris said that his object was to impress on stronger terms the necessity of calling Conventions in order to prevent enemies to the plan, from giving it the go by. When it first appears, with the sanction of the Convention, the people will be favorable to it. By degrees the State officers, & those interested in the State govts will intrigue & turn the popular current against it.
Mr. L-Martin believed Mr. Morris to be right, that after a while the people will be agst. it but for a different reason from that alleged. He believe they would not ratify it unless hurried into it by surprise.
The delegates to the 1787 Convention also reasoned that not all the states would like this new constitution so in order to get them to join they had to put them between a rock and a hard place. Their plan was to form a new nation out of the first 9 states that ratified the new Constitution thus dissolving the original nation they had already formed. This may be a bit detailed to follow, but it is worth it to understand the kind of games that could be played even today should such a convention be held. On July 4th, 1776 (Independence Day) what actually occurred were 13 independent sovereign nations declared their independence from the King at the same time. Shortly thereafter they ratified the Articles of Confederation and became a single nation. When the current Constitution was ratified by the first 9 states those 9 states became a new nation. The remaining four states who had yet to ratify the constitution reverted back to being their own independent nation. At that moment the 13 states actually became 5 nations. One by one the remaining states joined the new nation. Finally, Rhode Island which had originally rejected the new Constitution had no choice but to join the new nation by ratifying the new Constitution or face King George alone. The delegates to the 1787 Convention discussed this issue and recorded it in the convention minutes. Remarks by Mr. Wilson who was a delegate from Pennsylvania state:
"It is possible that not all the states, nay, that not even a majority, will immediately come into the measure, but such as do ratify it will be immediately bound by it, and others as they may from time to time accede to it."
Keeping with the spirit of what Mr. Wilson said the first 9 states ratified the new Constitution. The remaining 4 just acceded to it.
When all the big government power brokers from the big states get their way and propose a slate of amendments, opponents to the convention do not believe that Oklahoma will be given an opportunity to ratify the new amendments but will be voting to accede to them.

FAQ / Navigation
About Us
in german / deutsch
Vienna holds a key position in the Central European transport network and air transportation. In 1994, the inner-city public transport carried 506.3 million passengers with its 35 tramway- and 5 underground railway lines (a total of 1412 railcars and carriages, 237km overall length, 759km service length). 75 motor-bus lines (516 coaches, 617km service length) were used by 120.4 million passengers in 1994. In addition, in the same year 68 motor-bus lines of postal administration and Austrian National Railways starting from Vienna carried 24.2 million people. In 1992, the railway (passenger and goods transportation) commanded a service length of 178km (32 railway stations, 8.9 million sold tickets). For short-distance traffic, the high-speed railway makes accessible Vienna�s surrounding area and the region in the east and is principal carrier of the daily commuter traffic (around 180,000 commuters per day). In 1984, the public transport network for the eastern region (Verkehrsverbund Ostregion) was established: the core area comprises the urban area of Vienna, large parts of Lower Austria and a northerly section of the Burgenland.
All of Vienna�s railway stations were destroyed or heavily damaged by bombs during the Second World War, the most important were re-erect and redesigned. The old Westbahnhof was replaced by a new building in 1951 and in 1993/94 a reorganisation took place in the course of the involvement of the U3 and the rearrangement of the Europaplatz. 1976-80 saw the covering of the Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof; the West- and the S�dbahnhof (which incorporates the former Ostbahnhof) manage the principal and long-distance traffic; the Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof as well as the railway stations Wien-Nord/Praterstern and Wien-Mitte are of importance for domestic traffic.
Vienna�s road network is about 2800km long, 680km of which are streets with special relevance for traffic (motorways, main roads, high streets), on which 85% of Vienna�s road performance is generated (14.4 million motor vehicle-km/day). At the end of 1995, the cycle path network incorporated 545km.
The city area has 5 viaducts and 2 railway bridges over the Danube: Nordbr�cke (part of the Wiener Nordeinfahrt), Floridsdorfer, Nordbahn-, Brigittenauer, Reichs- and Praterbr�cke (emerged in the course of the construction of the south-east bypass, the S�dosttangente A 20) as well as the Stadlauer Ostbahnbr�cke. 23 bridges and foot-bridges cross the Danube channel, among them the 800m long G�rtelbr�cke which was built from 1962-1964 and the Erdberger Br�cke, developed in the course of the construction of the S�dosttangente from 1969-1971.
Nordbr�cke (part of the Wiener Nordeinfahrt)
The number of motorcars per 1000 resident has risen from 94 in 1961 to 434 in 1995. In 1995 there were 710,827 motorcars in Vienna, the parking space situation in the densely built up urban area is accordingly challenging. The southern by-pass (B 301), an important communication road between A 2 and A 4, is supposed to relieve Viennese residential areas and make accessible important locations such as the Donauhafen Albern and the G�ter-Terminal Metzger-Werke.
The shipping traffic on the Danube declined heavily after the world wars. A fresh increase in Danube shipping and freight volume is expected following the political and economic opening of Eastern Europe and the disclosure of the Rhein-Main-Donau-Kanal, and thereby the Wiener Hafen gains importance. In 1996, the harbour handling amounted to 1.7 million tons.
The Wiener Hafen consists of 3 harbour facilities: a key element is the Freudenauer Hafen with the biggest container terminal in a European inland harbour (1996: overall container handling 159,049 TEU), and with storage centre, duty free area, car terminal and the head of 3 of Vienna�s harbour associations, it still lives up to its original function as protective and winter harbour. The Alberner Hafen, originally conceived as grain harbour (granary capacity: 90,000t), still plays a major role in corn exports today. The oil harbour Lobau is also a protective and winter harbour for oil tankers and is connected through pipelines (amongst others Barbara-Br�cken) with the central fuel depot and the OMV refinery Schwechat. The Hafen Freudenau is completed already; another extension of the water-land-transhipment options is planned for the Hafen Albern. In 1962, the Wiener Hafen-Betriebs Ges.m.b.H. (today Wiener Hafen Ges.m.b.H.) and in 1979 the Wiencont Containerterminal Ges.m.b.H. were established. Air transportation (aviation, Austrian Airlines) has its centre at the Vienna International Airport Wien-Schwechat.

Vienna International Airport
Vienna International Airport is located to the southeast of Vienna. The airport handled over 237,400 arrivals and departures in 2006 and was frequented by 16.86 million passengers. Following lengthy negotiations with surrounding communities, the airport will be expanded to increase its capacity by adding a third runway. The airport is currently undergoing a major expansion(construction of several new buildings) to prepare for an expected increase in passengers.

Jesse Schell's DICE 2010 Presentation on Games & Psychology
At the recent DICE2010 conference, Carnegie Mellon University Professor Jesse Schell gave a presentation on the future of game development after the "Facebook Era". It's a fun presentation that discusses the recent upsets in the gaming industry (the Wii, Rock Band, Mafia Wars & FarmVille, Webkinz, and more) and what brings them together: Psychological Tricks.
In addition, he discusses how these same tricks are popping up in other places like university grading schemes, hybrid cars, and other surprising places you've probably never thought up. To conclude, he puts forth a proposal where the world is driven by game theories and advertisements combined with ubiquitous sensors. Fascinating stuff, if not just a tad bit far-fetched.
Of course, I'm sure someone called the Television far-fetched once upon a time.

According to a recent Gallup poll, nearly 30% of Americans believe real estate is the best long-term investment they can make -- choosing it over stocks, bonds, and gold. However, historical data show that housing prices, adjusted for inflation, are essentially flat and have been absolutely crushed by stocks. Stocks have produced annually returns of about 6% (adjusted for inflation).
In the following video, Motley Fool analysts Brendan Mathews and David Hanson tell viewers why housing is incorrectly seen as the greatest long-term investment option. Brendan notes that a home is usually a person's longest held investment, which gives them a better chance of long-term appreciation. Brendan argues that if Americans held stocks as long as they held houses, many more people would view stocks as the superior investments.
Owning a home isn't the only tax "loophole" you can use
Recent tax increases have affected nearly every American homeowner and taxpayer. But with the right planning, you can take steps to take control of your taxes and potentially even lower your tax bill. In our brand-new special report "The IRS Is Daring You to Make This Investment Now!," you'll learn about the simple strategy to take advantage of a little-known IRS rule.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Alex Schmidt belted his third home run of the year and three Washington relievers combined to throw 4 and 1/3 scoreless innings in the Huskies 4-1 win over Pacific Saturday in the Jack Gifford Memorial tournament at Schott Stadium.
The victory extended the Huskies' win streak to six-straight games and put Washington (9-4-1) five games over .500 on the season.
The loss dropped Pacific to 8-9 on the season.
Washington countered a strong start by Pacific's Will Lydon with Zach Wright. Wright got off to a shaky start, but was able to wiggle out of a first inning jam and turn in his best outing of the season.
He got the first out of the inning easily, but then walked the second hitter JJ Wagner and gave up back-to-back singles, the second one a RBI base hit by Gio Brusa. Wright walked the next batter to load the bases, but then induced Erik Lockwood to ground into a 6-4-3 inning-ending double play.
A night after the Huskies bats hammered out a season-high 16 hits, Lydon kept the Huskies offense in check for the most part. He gave up six hits in 7 and 1/3 innings and allowed four earned runs, but kept the game tight until the eighth inning.
UW got to the Tigers' starter in the fourth inning and tied it up 1-1 on Schmidt's home run to right field. It tied him with teammate Robert Pehl for the Pac-12 lead and gave the Huskies nine home runs through 14 games after hitting 10 in 56 games last season.
The Dawgs took the lead for good in the fifth inning when freshman Chris Baker, making his first career start, led off with a double, was sacrificed to third and came around to score on an Andrew Ely single to make it 2-1.
Pacific threatened in the fifth inning and chased Wright from the game, but freshman reliever Henry Baker slammed the door shut with runners at first and second.
Wright pitched 4 and 2/3 innings, allowing 3 hits and the one run in the first inning. He walked four and struck out just one, but most importantly kept the Huskies in the game.
Baker (1-0), a lefty making just his second career appearance, threw 1 and 1/3 innings of relief to pick up his first career victory.
The game was tight until UW broke it open in its last time up to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning. With one out, Pehl doubled to right-center field and Alex Schmidt was intentionally walked. Trevor Mitsui followed with a walk to load the bases and end the night for Lydon.
Brian Wolfe greeted relief pitcher Kyle Crawford with a 2-RBI single through the right side of the infield to give the Huskies breathing room and a 4-1 advantage.
Trevor Dunlap came in to slam the door in the ninth inning to earn his fourth save of the season.
Washington's bullpen ran its consecutive streak of scoreless innings to 9 and 1/3 on the road trip.
Offensively, Ely was the only Husky with more than one hit on the day. The junior second baseman went 2-for-3 with a RBI.
Washington wraps up its four-game road trip on Sunday at 12:00 p.m. against Santa Clara at Schott Stadium. The Huskies will send Jeff Brigham (2-0, 1.50 ERA) to the hill.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To define the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nasal obstruction, we have reviewed the literature on epidemiological, physiological, and randomized controlled studies in which the relationship between nasal obstruction and OSA was investigated. RECENT FINDINGS: Data from observational studies suggest that nasal obstruction contributes to the pathogenesis of OSA. Recently, studies have mainly focused on the effects of therapeutic interventions on the nose and OSA. Eleven trials with randomized controlled designs were found; external nasal dilators were used in five studies, topically applied steroids in one, nasal decongestants in three, and surgical treatment in two studies. Data from these studies showed only minor improvement in the symptoms and severity of OSA. SUMMARY: The current evidence suggests that the nose may not play a significant role in the pathogenesis of OSA. The impact of treating nasal obstruction in patients with OSA on long-term outcome remains to be defined more accurately through randomized controlled trials of medical and surgical therapies with large numbers of patients.

text: Oct 18, 2014 16:34 'Petit Collage' craft book full of great ideas for adults 'Petit Collage' craft book full of great ideas for adults Advocate story May 31, 2014; 4:01 p.m. Comments "Petit Collage. 25 Easy Craft and Décor Projects for a Playful Home" by Lorena Siminovich. Random House, 2014. $24.99. At first glance, this craft idea book may appear to be a book one could use to make craft projects with their kids. However, after further reading, it's definitely meant for adults to create projects and pieces for their kids. Since I am not an everyday crafter, I don't often have fabrics and ribbons, decorative paper, various colors and styles of artist tape, decoupage glue, spray glue, wood, plus some other needed items. More importantly, one must own a printer/scanner/copier in order to create the patterns that are in the back of the book. Lots of great ideas, not all are easily created, but the book definitely gives great instructions that can be easily amended into projects that you can do yourself with a little bit of tweaking. — Anna Guerra, Denham Springs "The Atchafalaya River Basin: History and Ecology of an American Wetland" by Bryan P. Piazza. Texas A&M Press, 2014. $35. This is a collection of more than 300 scientific studies of the Atchafalaya River Basin dating back to 1920. It's a detailed reference book filled with hundreds of maps, graphics and photos that capture the astonishing beauty and life forms of the basin. The book begins with the history of the river, its interaction with the Mississippi and the ecological development of the basin over time, particularly the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 that changed the basin's boundaries and led to the creation of the floodway. Piazza ends the book with a look to the future. He notes that to maintain sustainable ecosystems, the basin would benefit from the return to something like natural flooding and drying cycles. He lays out a combination of options including a large-scale water management model that would provide flood control but would also benefit the many ecological resources found in the basin. — Anna Guerra, Denham Springs Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Avalon Gardens contents auctioned off this morning
Years of history were sold away in just a couple of hours, when the contents of Avalon Gardens on Belmont Avenue were auctioned today.
Some of those attending just wanted to say goodbye to a Youngstown landmark that had been open 90 years while others were looking for deals to continue their own businesses.
The family of James Donofrio, the owner of the tavern, closed the business in January. Donofrio has been missing since late September.
Nancy Donofrio, James sister-in-law, said she attended the auction because it was too difficult for other family to attend.
"He bought this place about a year ago and he had great hopes," she said.
For more on this story, see Tuesday's Vindicator or vindy.com
This is really sad. I wonder if they'll ever discover what happened to him?
Their special recipe for Brier Hill pizza would have brought thousands by itself. Was *the* best in the area.
Their pizza was the best I ever had, but the service was non-existent. I wonder how many people are holding the worthless gift certificates they were selling on-line right before they closed?
@vinglass - doesn't seem like The Av closed out of spite. The owner is missing...and suspiciously at that. Maybe the $10 people spent on online gift certificates were not exactly part of their grand plan to screw people...pretty sure they purchased The Av to make it better. The bigger picture here is that the owner is missing and a family is hurting.
The CG's were for $100.00 and were offered for sale AFTER he went missing
why on earth would a pizza restaurant offer $100 gift cards?! that would be 10 pizzas.
think about that and get your facts straight.

All applicants must complete the application form and submit with BONA FIDE RECEIPTS by deadline.
No funds will be authorized for future plans or programs; the program is only to reimburse organizers for funds spent in the calendar year.

UK pop sensation Rita Ora recently donned a pair of gold leather and PVC Christian Louboutin Un Bout Pumps to play a private gig at a Sony party in London. I love a well-dressed celebutante, and this is one of the best outfits I've seen in a long time – the jade and gold tones in her outfit really pop against her skin color and bottle-blond hair. These uber-popular pumps sold out long ago, but you can shop all things Christian Louboutin via Net-a-Porter.
Rita Ora isn't widely known in the states yet, even though she's signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation music label and has collaborated with an impressive list of rappers and music acts including Drake, Jay-Z and Kanye West. In the UK, however, she's popular enough to be near-constant tabloid fodder. As you can see, she has pretty uncanny fashion sense – she credits Gwen Stefani as one of her fave music/style icons, and the influence is fairly obvious here.

Acura - Honda's luxury brand for the United States - is at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show to introduce the latest NSX prototype. We have already seen this car several times in various international exhibitions, with its first appearance on European soil dating back at the latest Geneva Motor Show before it showed up again at the Paris Motor Show.
The new Honda/Acura NSX - heir of the iconic Japanese supercar of the 90s bearing the same name - is expected to hit the market by 2015. In its prototype version, the Honda NSX is 4.33 meters long and boasts extremely modern lines typical of a premium sports coupe: its captivating front-end is seamlessly coupled to a pretty sporty rear-end, with large LED lights that characterize the look of its sharp tail.
With regard to powertrain, the NSX is equipped with the advanced SH-AWD (Super Hybrid All Wheel Drive) which combines anaturally aspirated mid-mounted V6 with two electric motors placed on the front wheels, which allows for higher performance and lower fuel consumption while improving the overall handling of the car.

I think my problem below can be solved by finding the Laurent series of $f(z) = \ln(1+\exp(z))$ about its points of singularities. (Any better suggestion is more than welcome!) How might I find such a series?
I think that the function $f(z) = \ln(1+\exp(z))$ has poles at $z=i\pi (2n-1)$ for integer $n$ but I cannot prove that it is a pole because I cannot find an $m$ such that $(z-i\pi (2n-1))^mf(z)$ is finite. Could someone please help me out?
Added: For this question we are taking the principal branch of the function.
By the way, the available options are
A) removable singularities, (Don't think so...)
B) poles, (Possible, but I can't find a suitable $m$, as mentioned)
C) essential singularities, (Possible, but I don't know how to show this either...)
D) non-isolated singularities (Not this one)
Some thoughts: I have thought of maybe obtaining the Laurent series about these $z$ values, but I don't know how to do that...

Houston Early Music Announces 2013-2014 Concert Season
HOUSTON, TX – June 5, 2013 – Houston Early Music, a leading presenter of the world's finest period ensembles and soloists, announces its 2013-2014 Concert Season with five stellar ensembles.
Houston Early Music continues its commitment to its Emerging Artists Series and Hispanic Heritage Series this season. Each performance features a discussion program with ensemble members prior, as part of Houston Early Music's educational outreach initiative.
Nancy Ellis, artistic director, said that the new season continues the group's mission of bringing world-renowned early music performances to the Bayou City.
"By illuminating and showcasing the centuries of rarely heard music from the Middle Ages through the 18th century, we provide a unique musical perspective for modern Houston audiences," Ellis said. "The sounds may be of ancient origins, but their ability to inspire and transport audiences remains powerful and timeless."
November 2, 2013
One of the world's leading viola da gamba consorts, Fretwork, brings their contemporary sensibility to John Dowland's famous collection, Lachrimae. To honor the 450th anniversary of Dowland's birth, we embark on a transcendental voyage from despair to hope through an extraordinary collection of music for viols and lute based on his most famous song, Flow my teares.
Over the last 25 years, this U.K.-based ensemble has brought music old and new to audiences hitherto unfamiliar with the inspiring sound-world of the viol. For their 2013 Tour, the UK-based ensemble will be joined by the incomparable British lutenist Elizabeth Kenny.
The concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at First Christian Church, 1601 Sunset Blvd., Houston 77005. A pre-concert talk with ensemble members starts at 6:45 p.m.
December 15, 2013
An Early American Christmas: Carols, Country Dances, Hymns and Spiritual Songs
Like Saint Nicholas, The Rose Ensemble returns to Houston for a joyful evening of glad tidings and good cheer. From Shaker hymns and Colonial anthems to ballads, country dances and shape-note hymns, this extraordinary performance highlights the early forms that will later give birth to bluegrass and old-time music. Journey through the dance halls of Boston to the hills of Appalachia, as the singers and instrumentalists explore the harmonies of early American Christmastide music.
The ensemble, regularly featured on American Public Media and National Public Radio's Performance Today, reawakens history with vocal music that stirs the emotions, challenges the mind, and lifts the spirit. Experience a fresh take on the sounds of the traditional yuletide season!
The Yuletide celebration will start at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 15, 2013 at Christ Church Cathedral, 1117 Texas Ave., Houston 77002. A pre-concert talk with ensemble members begins at 4:15 p.m
January 17, 2014
Emerging Artists Series:
Muse, Modes, and Magic (and also Mary)
The youthful and adventurous ensemble The Broken Consort explores music as an ethereal art with magical powers in Muse, Modes, and Magic (and also Mary). The group traces the relationship of these constant elements throughout early philosophy, music and literature, with a diverse secular and sacred repertoire from the 12th to early 17th century. And like the early broken consort, the artists play a mixed group of instruments including lute, oud, vielle, gamba, lute, harp, percussion, and voices.
The Boston-based ensemble is redefining the standard conception and presentation of early music. Explore the philosophies and themes that have captivated our culture for centuries through these exquisite works.
The event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Friday, January 17, 2014 at Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church, 4930 W. Bellfort, Houston 77035. A pre-concert talk with ensemble members begins at 6:45 p.m.
February 11, 2014
Forward to the Past: 25 Years of the Orlando Consort
The Orlando Consort anniversary celebration begins with the chansons from Guillaume de Machaut's master work, Le Voir Dit – a story of the extraordinary epistolary exchange between the aging poet and his young female admirer, Peronne.
Next, the British male vocal quartet offers up an indulgent review of the Consort's favorite fifteenth-century composers. Featuring some of the finest examples of late medieval composition, the group showcases the sacred works of Dunstaple, Ockeghem, Compère, Josquin and many others featured in their extensive recordings.
Enjoy an evening of captivating entertainment and fresh scholarly insight. The unique imagination and originality of their programming combined with their superb vocal skills has marked The Orlando Consort one of Britain's most important chamber music ensembles.
The performance begins at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at Zilkha Hall in the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, 800 Bagby, Houston 77002. A pre-concert talk with ensemble members begins at 6:45 p.m.
April 11, 2014
Hispanic Heritage Series:
Salsa Baroque
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the musical dialogue between the Old and the New Worlds produced extraordinary results. The internationally acclaimed Ensemble Caprice calls this unique style and fascinating blend of European polyphony and Latin American traditional music Salsa Baroque. Gems from this spectacular musical era will be performed on instruments that were common at the time: flutes and recorders, baroque guitar, violoncello and various percussion instruments.
Heralded as a group that encourages listeners to rehear the world, Ensemble Caprice returns to the Houston Early Music stage for another imaginative, incomparable performance during the 2013-2014 season.
The event is set for 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 11, 2014, at Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church, 6221 Main Street, Houston 77030. A pre-concert talk with ensemble director Matthias Maute begins at 6:45 p.m.

Received a call from 714-461-2107 claiming fund raising for Ca police Activities, etc...Ask them to send envelop and i'll consider they said they can't send mail out because if it doesn't get pp's donation in return then it is taking money from children. Is this organization legit. They sounded legit though except very pushy. Someone in California law enforcement can help answer this.

The Attorney General should close this scam down. They prey on people that they are a police entity doing good to the underprivileged children. All the money they raise goes to their extravagant salaries. None goes to help the kids. Telemarketing gets 85 cents out of every dollar Raised. Look at their 990's. Scam!!!!!!!!!!! They should be ashamed. Where is the attorney general?? I always checkout where my money goes. I could not believe this one. I have law enforcement in my family and this makes them look really bad. I was forced to give them a 1 star to submit this. They shouldn't get any stars!!!!!

Scam. Telemarketers using computerized "folksy" recorded voices prompted by a human who is not allowed to speak. Ask a question and the computer says repeatedly -- "the police are sure doing a great job out there!." Eventually got a live person by repeating "supervisor", "supervisor".... She finally admitted that her company keeps 85% of the money they raise w/ only 15% going to Cal PAL.. and I'm sure only a tiny fraction of that goes to help kids. Do NOT give. Complain to California Attorney General's office. Indict 'em. Don't support 'em.

I just received a phone call from this organization - to buy tickets to their rodeo, which in turn would "help underprivileged kids go to camp, swim, hike, fish (painting a warm and fuzzy picture, right?). When I asked the all-important question about how much the program actually got, the man said 80/20. I was thinking the program got the 80 and the 20 went to expenses. Nope, it's the other way around. The guy launched into this big song and dance about how expensive it was to rent out the Cow Palace, pay for tickets, programs, yada, yada, yada. Besides hating rodeos anyway, I wouldn't give these people a dime. And either should you.
I wish I could give it no stars, as they're wasting people's time and money that could be going directly to a good cause, not to line the telemarketer's pockets.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Drop the expensive rodeo event, revamp the structure so it wasn't just a money-sucking entity taking funds away from the kids (revamp the management) and rebuild it from the ground up. More one-on-one in the community and less telemarketing sham.

HAS ANYONE EVER DONE THE MATH ON WHERE THEIR DONATIONS GO??? Telemarketers have been solicting my elderly mother (who is on a limited income). My husband & I have law enforcemnt backgrounds so she believes she is doing the right thing by donating to CA PAL I have written this organization requesting they stop soliciting her as she cannot affrod to give to others at this point in her life. After investigating this organization, I will demand it they stop their calls at once! Based on CA PAL's 2009 IRS 990 filing, the two tele-marketing companies they use (Xentel INC & TBS Productions), keep 80 - 81% of the monies they raise! Of the portion (roughly 19-20%) that CA PAL actually received in 2009, 27% goes to salaries. So the question one really has to ask themself before they donate is: "WHO DO YOU WANT YOUR MONEY TO GO TO THE KIDS OR THE TELEMARKETERS? And oh by the way, don't let anyone tell you this is the nornal course of business. In my career I have been a Board member, including Secretary, President and Treasurer for 11 501 c3 non-profit organizations. One of which I was the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) for a Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation. I am appalled and you should be to!

 Also I am not sure if 3D printing in steel is good enough to be 100% sure threads will be done in a required tolerance, and once assemblied that they will actually be functionable. If someone experienced could give some feedback about this I would appreciate it a lot.]]> Ronsaki 2013-02-20T00:01:23-00:00 Re: Need a cufflink modeled and printed http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62637&th=12945#msg_62637 <![CDATA[Hello

 I think I can come up with a "design for printing" that will match the shapes and size in your photo.

 I have a few questions. I will send you a private message.

An understanding of structural behavior is an essential design tool. This course introduces the typical structural materials, elements and systems used in building construction and emphasizes creative application of technical knowledge. Class projects are structured to foster an appreciation of the potential of structure to be an architectural determinate and develop a facility in the selection and configuration of structural systems integrated with architectural designs.

Eligibility to Win the ACFW Book of the Year Award
Teaching and Mentoring Opportunities
Best of all, you become a member of a large family of Christian writers like yourself!
I'm not published yet. Do I belong in ACFW?
MOST of our members are unpublished, but are working TOWARD publication. You're welcomed with open arms. Here you will find training in fiction writing and information about the Christian fiction industry that will help you reach the Lord's goals for your writing. Note that His goals may or may not include publication, but we will work with you, encourage you, and pray for you while you find out.
I write non-fiction exclusively. Do I belong in ACFW?
Although some of our members write both fiction and non-fiction, almost everything ACFW does is geared toward the novelist and the Christian fiction market. Good writing principles carry over into both "camps," and using fiction techniques brings new life to non-fiction. But unless you write fiction, you may find it more beneficial to join one of the organizations that addresses non-fiction writing, publishing, and markets. Whatever you decide, you'll want to note that discussion on the loop needs to stay focused on fiction writing topics.
I just want to promote my book here. Do I belong in ACFW?
Our primary objectives are training writers, educating them in Christian fiction, and serving as an advocate for the Christian fiction industry. Promotion of our authors is not a key function but a great byproduct of the relationships made within ACFW. The connections you make here—as well as the opportunities for enlisting book reviewers and getting your book considered for New Releases and our Author lists on the website—will help get the word out to other authors and the readers who frequent our website. But your strongest promotional endeavors will come from other sources than ACFW. However, education ABOUT promotion and marketing is one of our strong suits. Sharing information about promotional opportunities happens all the time within ACFW.
I'm self-published. Do I belong in ACFW?
ACFW's mission and vision are to prepare novelists for success in traditional publishing, helping our members strive for excellence in the craft and develop skills that will help their books attract the attention of CBA publishers. Other groups may focus more on self-publication goals. From the beginning, ACFW has sought to prepare authors and their books for acceptance by CBA publishers. We aren't tailored to guide writers to well-respected self-publishers or to help promote self-published books. Self-publishing has a different dynamic, especially in the world of fiction. But there are still ways in which you may benefit greatly from ACFW membership. As you take advantage of the wealth of knowledge and information in our craft-training classes, our website archives, and our main loop, you will grow in your craft and become even more skilled at the kind of writing the Lord has designed for you, no matter what type of publication outreach He has in mind specifically for you.
I'm multi-published and have a strong marketing team, a great agent, and more contracts than I can manage. Do I belong in ACFW?
Do you need to know that other writers understand your challenges? Do you appreciate the encouragement of those who are blessed by what you write? If you are multi-published, you no doubt have learned the secret—that a writer can never stop learning. Just as a prolific author always is digging into (or back into) a craft classic, he or she can benefit from fresh ways of looking at subjects like POV, deepening emotion, writer's block, character motivations… Or you may find your greatest joy in ACFW membership is the opportunity to help other writers over the hurdles you conquered long ago, or in some aspect of mentoring through your knowledgeable answers to the main loop. You'll find both camaraderie with other multi-published authors and plenty of opportunity to assist the yet-to-be-published in their writing journey.
ACFW is always looking to expand and enhance what we offer to both the newcomer and the veteran novelist. We understand that we can't meet every need, nor can we fully focus on every aspect of fiction that deserves attention. But we're working very hard to show that if you're serious about writing great novels, this is where you belong!
Does this sound like an organization that will benefit your writing career? Visit our easy online application and become a member of the premier online community of writers today!

Spring brings the possibility of more time outside with your pets, but what happens if your cat's favorite pastime is to destroy your favorite flowers? We're here to offer some suggestions of how to plant your garden so it can be enjoyed by both you and your cat.
Cats love to be outdoors as much as dogs, yet their inquisitive nature can wreak havoc on a carefully manicured garden. A garden specially made for your kitty ensures you get to enjoy the fruits of your green thumb while Tiger enjoys his own lush paradise!
Whether you decide to change the entirety of your garden or add cat-friendly elements, this can be an easy weekend project. If you want to do the latter just make sure to put the plants towards the back of the garden so your kitty can get down and dirty without ruining the overall look of the garden.
Cats love a variety of plants. Here are a few suggestions of which ones will get your cat's attention:
Another great idea is to place a litter box out of view in your garden to encourage your kitty to not use your plants as a bathroom. You might also consider placing food and water outside if your cat is spending long amounts of time outside.
With the above recommendations you can create an outside oasis for your kitty while minimizing the damage to your favorite plants.
However, there are some plants you want to avoid in your garden all together. Lilies of any kind, azalea, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, paprika plants, ivy, chrysanthemums, figs, mistletoe, daffodils and bulb plants, like onions and rhododendrons, can all be poisonous to your kitty.
Most importantly, do not use any chemical pesticides or soil in your garden. Since your cat will be snacking on and enjoying the plants you have grown, you don't want her exposed to toxic chemicals. Spring is a great time to get outside, and enjoy the fresh air not only for you but for your pets as well. By catering your garden to your cats you can enjoy the great outdoors together!
For more information on cat care visit our other articles on our cat page.

DIY Fabric Poinsettia
I am obsessed to Poinsettia, I don't know why, but I just love this red leaves flower that brings festive mood to my home every end of the year. Last year, I crochet some poinsettia coasters which don't really look like poinsettia except for the color tone… 😆 but they really get me into the mood of Christmas. This year, I make poinsettia again and this time with fabrics and wires.
These fabric poinsettia flowers can be made into a flower bouquet for table decoration during Christmas, or as ornaments for your Christmas tree and other decorations like wreath etc… You may add some glitters to the flower by applying glue along the petals' edges and veins, the spread some glitters on them and set them aside for drying.
Happy making this fabric poinsettia and Merry Christmas……

That is beautiful! I love it!4

Happy Christmas to you too5
Faith, it is not sheer fabric but quilted weight fabric. The back light makes it looks like sheer 🙂6
It really looks sheer. It is very pretty.7
You are amazing!!! Where/how do you come up with these things? I am SO jealous of your talents.
I just found your site through your interview today over at Meijo's Joy! What a great site and some fabulous tutorials you have here! I love this one for the flowers – and particularly the turtle pincushion and sewing kit tutorial which I've bookmarked to make in the new Year!
I'm looking forward to coming back and reading more again! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Jill @ Creating my way to Success

Junior outside hitter Bojana Todorovic (Irvine, CA/University HS) of the UCLA women's volleyball team was selected as the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Sept. 27-Oct. 3.
Todorovic had an historic hitting match on Sunday and finished the week with an average of 3.67 kills per set, a .514 hitting percentage and 3.50 digs per set, as the second-ranked Bruins produced a pair of sweeps over Utah and Colorado.
Against the Buffaloes on Sunday, Todorovic had 12 kills and no errors in 16 attempts to produce a career-best .750 hitting percentage. She added 12 digs for her second double-double of the season and the 11th of her career. The .750 hitting percentage tied for the 15th-best all-time output by a Bruin with a minimum of 10 attacks, and the highest percentage for a Bruin since 2006. In the second set, Todorovic had seven of her 12 kills, with no errors in eight attempts. She added two more in the first and three to go along with six digs in the third set. Todorovic, who has played mostly in the backrow this season, added two blocks.
On Friday at Utah, Todorovic was a dig shy of a double-double, posting 10 kills (.333 hitting percentage) and nine digs. She had four kills and no hitting errors in eight swings with four digs in the first set, while adding three kills in the second and three more in the third on no errors and six attempts with four digs.
Todorovic is averaging only 1.10 kills per set this season, but is hitting .277 and is fifth on the team with 2.24 digs per set and first with 23 aces.
This is Todorovic's first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of her career.
Also nominated: Abby Dahlkemper, W. Soccer; Joseph Fauria, Football; Pedro Figueiredo, M. Golf; Katja Goldring, W. Cross Country; Dylan Knight, M. Cross Country; Andy Rose, M. Soccer; Josh Samuels, M. Water Polo.

Extreme Morning Sickness During Pregnancy
Dr. Michael R. Foley, MD, FACOG is the chair and program director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. For more information on this topic, talk with your doctor or call 602-230-2273 (CARE).
Question: Why do some pregnant women experience more severe morning sickness than others?
Answer: Morning sickness is very common in pregnancies, with 75 percent of all pregnant women experiencing some nausea or vomiting. However, only about 1 percent will have severe morning sickness, a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum, in which the expectant mother will vomit at least three times daily and lose weight.
A genetic connection has been observed in those who have severe morning sickness; if a daughter experiences significant nausea and vomiting, it's likely her mother had the same issue. The nausea and vomiting itself is a result of a rise in hCG, the pregnancy hormone, and the body's reaction to it. Some patients are more sensitive to the effects of hCG than others, which can influence how much nausea or vomiting an expectant mother endures.
Also, because morning sickness is typically at its worst in the first trimester of pregnancy, the critical period when the baby is first forming, it has been suggested that the nausea and vomiting act as a protective mechanism to discourage a pregnant woman from accidentally exposing herself to food toxins, gases or odors that might harm the baby.
The best way to manage morning sickness is to try to prevent it from worsening. A daily prenatal vitamin containing Vitamin B6 taken prior to and during pregnancy can help reduce nausea and vomiting. Acupuncture, acupressure, ginger and certain prescription medications called antiemetics are also proven ways to lessen the effects of morning sickness. In the most severe cases, intravenous fluids and nutrition may be provided to the expectant mother, but generally, these other remedies are very effective.
Prenatal visits are the ideal time for a pregnant woman to discuss any symptoms with her doctor to determine the best course of treatment.

Azumi and David slap their Garment Packing Tape ($15) right on tank tops and skin (ouch!), but we'd never do that. Sealing up boxes with this pretty vinyl packing tape doesn't seem quite right either. Think out of the box, and use this in quirky craft projects.

This is a list of characters from the Toy Story trilogy which consists of the animated films Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Toy Story 3. Rex (voiced by Wallace Shawn) is an excitable large, green, plastic Tyrannosaurus rex who suffers from anxiety, an inferiority complex ('I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection!') and the concern that he is not scary enough. Rex's worst fear (after Sid) is that Andy will get another, scarier dinosaur, but feels better after Buzz gives him a few pointers on how to roar more effectively. He is among the largest of Andy's toys, and is often depicted as the heaviest. He is voiced by Earl Boen in the Toy Story 2 video game. In Toy Story, he states that he was manufactured by a smaller company that was purchased in a leveraged buyout by Mattel (coincidentally, real-life Rex toys used to be made by Hasbro, but as of 2009 are indeed made by Mattel). He is first introduced when he moves Woody's doodle pad, then tries to scare Woody with his roar. When Buzz arrives, Rex is fascinated by his cool features. Later, when Woody knocks Buzz out the window, he sides against Woody out of pressure from the other toys, even though he knows that it was an accident. He later feels guilty when everyone discovers Woody was telling the truth all along. He gains confidence at the end, saying he could play as the dominant predator if Andy gets a leaf eater. The beginning of Toy Story 2, he is shown playing the 'Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg' video game, which he loses, much to his frustration. He is responsible for the toys seeing the commercial for Al's Toy Barn commercial when he accidentally clicks the remote control. Though afraid, he is brave enough to go with Buzz, Hamm, Slinky, and Mr. Potato Head to rescue Woody, believing that his video game experiences have prepared him for real combat. Inside Al's Toy Barn, he excitedly finds a 'Buzz Lightyear' video game strategy guide, which he takes with him. He loses the guide later, but is still able to give Buzz #2 tips from the guide on defeating Zurg. In a parody of Jurassic Park, he chases a car driven by the toys in Al's Toy Barn, in which Mr. Potato Head spots his reflection in the rear view mirror. It is Rex's tail sticking out of Al's bag that later causes the real Buzz to go after them. When Zurg is about to finish off Buzz #2, he turns away, not bearing to look anymore, but his tail knocks Zurg down the elevator shaft, making him feel overjoyed about finally defeating Zurg. In Toy Story 3, he is Woody's 'Dinosaur who Eats Force Field Dogs' in Andy's opening western play sequence, where he frightens One-Eyed Bart and his gang with a terrifying roar, but is then overpowered by a flood of monkeys. He is seen to be especially sad about Andy's lack of attention to the toys, expressing joy when Andy touches him for only a few moments. When the toys are initially left for the garbage pickup, he is ultimately responsible for saving them when he uses his tail to rip a hole in the garbage bag. He is initially happy to be at Sunnyside, and is visibly sad when Woody leaves, but becomes dismayed after a rough playtime with the toddlers, commenting 'Andy never played with us like that!' He is imprisoned along with Andy's other toys by Lotso and his gang. Later, at the garbage dump, Rex is the last to escape the shredder, only barely escaping when he grabs onto a large piece of metal. When the toys are finally given to Bonnie, Rex becomes close friends with Trixie the Triceratops. In an outtake of Toy Story 2, the toys use him as a battering ram, only for Rex to hurt his head when banged against the locked grate. Rex makes a cameo appearance in an outtake of Monsters, Inc. where he waits at the crosswalk with Mike and Sulley in a scene reminiscent of Jurassic Park. Rex is a playable character on the Toy Story Racer video game. In the movie WALL-E, Rex is seen in the background inside the truck. Hamm (voiced by John Ratzenberger) is a wise-cracking realist piggy

Carnations usually aren't our thing. (They aren't anyone's thing, are they? We mean...a little cheap...a little tacky... no?) But the Herbarium Carnation Flower Necklace ($65) handmade by Marta Lugo Jewels is a definite exception. It's not sickly sweet smelling, it'll always keep its color, and it's actually pretty damn hip--we'll wear it to spruce up our plain summer tees and tanks!
Far as I know, modern carnations don't smell!
