I believe that Melissa McCarthy is the funniest woman right now. I mean, don't you hear that? It's M Squared being hilarious somewhere in America at this very moment. Oh, you didn't hear anything? No worries because Hollywood is listening and watching everything she's doing. Thanks to her star-making turn in the 2011 blockbuster comedy Bridesmaids and her lead role in the CBS sitcom Mike & Molly, Melissa is in the midst of a comedy takeover. Here's hoping that continues when her movie with Sandra Bullock, The Heat, opens nationwide today. So in honor of Miss Melissa, let's take a look back at her best and funniest moments:
"Meet Megan"—Bridesmaids
You cannot start this list without mentioning the film that put her on America's radar. In this scene, we meet McCarthy's character, who I can only describe as kind of bat sh-t crazy with a heart of gold. So many memorable lines in this clip, but my favorite might be the stuff about the dolphin. How Kristen Wiig didn't crack up laughing is beyond me:
I'm normally not a fan of celeb interviews because they tend to be so boring and micromanaged by publicists that actors and actresses can only talk about the product they're promoting and whatever home-improvement disaster stories they have. Ugh. Luckily, Melissa brings the funny when she talks about her embarrassing mishap with wearing Spanx:
The premise of this sketch is pretty simple: McCarthy plays a woman named Arlene who's not afraid to let her coworker Tim (Jason Sudekis) know that she wants him sexually. Sure, in real life, sexual harassment in the workplace is no laughing matter, but on TV, watching her grind on a balloon string is the definition of funny:
"Opening Monologue"—SNL
I know some people are not a fan of physical comedy, but for me, watching reruns of John Ritter on Three's Company as a kid, I'm a sucker for it. That's why I was delighted when instead of doing the usual song and dance for her SNL monologue, McCarthy opted to put on incredibly high heels. Check out the hilarious results:
"Emmy Training Day"
Here's a math formula for you: Joel McHale + Melissa McCarthy = Perfection. Seriously, I do hope they work together again in the future. They have wonderful chemistry—he nails being the hot, smarmy guy, and she rocks the eager-beaver vibe:
"Hidden Valley Ranch"—SNL
For her debut hosting gig at SNL, McCarthy went for it in this sketch. She and two other people are taste-testing new Hidden Valley dressing flavors, and her overzealous behavior yields humorous results:
"Marbles Harsgrove"
I hate to say that I didn't discover her YouTube character, Marbles, until a few weeks ago. In this portrayal, you can see why McCarthy is so funny. She's able to build a complete character so that even if you're laughing at them, there is also humanity there so you connect with them as well. Here's hoping she can work Marbles into a SNL sketch soon:
"Hungry Bear Sandwich"—Outtake from Bridesmaids
McCarthy and her real-life husband Ben Falcone also play love interests in Bridesmaids. Although this scene was relegated to the end credits, that doesn't mean it's any less worthy. All I'm going to say is "meats and cheeses":
"Parody of Mike Rice Scandal"—SNL
In this sketch, McCarthy plays a female version of Mike Rice, who was fired from his coaching job at Rutgers after a video surfaced that showed him verbally and physically abusing his players. She really kicks the intensity up a notch by hitting players with bats and chest-bumping players off the court:
"Pizza Eater"—SNL
Hands down, this is my all-time favorite character she has ever done on SNL. Everything works here: her voice, the way she keeps handing Jason Sudekis a pen, the simple premise. No matter how many times I watch this, I laugh hard:
What are you favorite Melissa McCarthy moments? Did I leave any out?

House Rabbit Society of Chicago
Our Pet List
Our Featured Pet...
Our Adopted Rabbits
Click to see our pets!
Who We Are
We are a non-profit, all-volunteer 501 (c) 3 organization devoted to rescuing rabbits from shelters and finding good homes for them. We also have a mission to educate the public on issues of rabbit care, health and behavior.
Adopting a friend
HRS Chicago generally follows the adoption policy as set by the National House Rabbit Society. We ask that you review the policy before proceeding. Here is a link to the policy. http://www.rabbit.org/adoption/adoption-policies.html The adopter and primary care giver must be over 21 years of age (and out of college).
Below is a brief description of our adoption process so you understand how we operate.
Our adoption fee is $95 per rabbit to help cover the cost of an initial medical exam and spay or neuter surgery. The adoption process starts with the prospective adopter being sent an adoption application and then being interviewed by phone by one of our adoption counselors. If the counselor and the prospective adopter feel that adoption is right for everyone, the process passes to our adoption director who will try to match the adoptive family with an appropriate rabbit. It is important that we understand the potential adopter's home environment so we can match them with a rabbit who will fit into their life style. Rabbits have distinct personalities with definite likes and dislikes. This is especially important if the new rabbit will have another rabbit friend. We find that adoptions are more successful when the personalities of the rabbit and the adoptive family are well matched.
Our foster rabbits are in a network of foster homes throughout the Chicago area. We attempt to match potential adopters with a foster rabbit in their local area. If you would prefer to be able to go into a shelter to view the animals, there are a few Chicago area shelters that have good adoption programs. You may also want to check with one of them. Most shelters list on www.petfinder.com

Nascar's Kyle Busch and his Wife-to-Be Go 'Riding Shotgun'
Haven't you always wondered what race-car drivers do between race weekends? Of course they still have to do a lot of driving to test out new cars, parts and setups, but what about the rest of the schedule? Where do they go, what do they eat, and in whose company?
ESPN2 is trying to answer those questions and others with a five-part series called "Riding Shotgun: Kyle Busch," which runs each evening this week, covering the activities of Nascar Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Busch, his Joe Gibbs Racing team and fiance Samantha Sarcinella. Cameras are following Busch in the days leading up to the start of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this Sunday.
Busch, who drives the number 18 Toyota with M&M's candy as the main sponsor, is one of the more controversial personalities in Nascar in part because of the way he drives and the things he says. But he does drive well enough to be among the 10 drivers who will be competing in the 10-race "Chase" for the Championship. Remaining shows are tomorrow at 6 p.m. EST and Friday at 5:30. You can see a clip from Tuesday's show here.

Yesterday, we were talking about a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that found that proper use of prescription medicines by Part D beneficiaries is helping to reduce non-drug medical expenditures in Medicare overall. The core of the JAMA study:
The Catalyst
Most Recent Posts
Once again, we're looking at the value of access to prescription medicines today, fueled by a study in today's Journal of the American Medical Association (subscription required).
A recent AP LifeGoesStrong.com poll found that baby boomers' (born between 1946 and 1964) health concerns are focused mostly on possible cancers and memory loss. Obviously, these are important concerns for everyone as they age.
A recent article lauding a so-called "looming wave of new generic pills," like many similar articles, fails to paint the bigger picture: that generics, while an important part of the healthcare system, ultimately play a limited role for patients.
A few weeks ago, as I was visiting my family, I took one look at my two-year-old niece and said to my sister, "Mary's diaper needs changing."
There's a geek-blog site I check out periodically. It mostly writes about science fiction and popular culture, but occasionally it takes an interesting look at real developments in the sciences and medicine.
You should check-out the piece by Ken Thorpe that recently ran in U.S. News & World Report's Health section. The piece is entitled: Health Reform That Passes the Buck Is Short-Sighted.
David Brooks has a typically thoughtful column in today's New York Times. Brooks takes a look at the roll of healthcare costs in our budget debate and opines:
New research, released today by the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, affirms what we've been saying for awhile now: The average costs for medicines frequently used by Medicare Part D beneficiaries have declined significantly since the implementation of the program.
Recently Bob Cobuzzi, Vice President of Corporate Development for Endo Pharmaceuticals, sat down in front of a camera for a few minutes to discuss the challenges faced by emerging American biopharmaceutical companies that are trying to reach markets outside the U.S.
When discussing progress associated with medical innovation, we like to mention both life-saving and life-enhancing medicines. Why? Because so many debilitating chronic conditions may not be life-threatening, but the patients who live with them still deserve the best that healthcare has to offer.
With the new Battelle report focusing on how biopharmaceutical innovation helps to fuel the economy, I wanted to share a local view from Iowa. Tom Swegle is the Vice Chairman of the Iowa Biotechnology Association and he recently published a great oped in the Des Moines Register.
Monday, we discussed how policies that undercut the biopharmaceutical research sector could lead to huge job losses, with an annual reduction in sector revenue of $20 billion potentially leading to as many as 260,000 lost jobs.
An article in today's Washington Post discusses how generic drugs can benefit America's overall healthcare system. In fact, nearly 80 percent of all prescriptions written in the U.S. are for generics, according to IMS Health.
It's no secret that the biopharmaceutical sector provides jobs - and a wide range of jobs, at that. We're not just researchers in lab coats. In terms of jobs we support, we're also the drivers of trucks that help medicines reach pharmacies, the construction workers and technicians who help construct the facilities and equipment necessary for manufacture of medicines, and more. Ultimately, it's an intricate web of workers that all play a role in the important work that we do.

Transcontinental Railroad
Transcontinental Railroad Movies & TV
This is the earlier (and lesser) of two PBS American Experience films on the transcontinental railroad. It's still worth viewing, however, for a general overview of the story in an entertaining package.
The second PBS American Experience take on the transcontinental railroad is better researched, better crafted, and even more entertaining. It brings ample detail and great archival material with the commentary of some of our best railroad historians. An added bonus: the web page for the film also includes a transcript and links to additional resources. Find it at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/tcrr/
This is the Hollywood version: The most famous director of American epics, Cecil B. DeMille, takes on the railroad to the West. The film adopts a popular novel from the 1930s and presents a love triangle on the tracks in 1869. Taken with a dose of reality (one of the PBS films, perhaps), DeMille's picture is a black and white testament to Hollywood's love of the West and its legends.
Don't look to this one for the real story. The real West was won or lost depending on whom you ask. Like Union Pacific, How the West Was Won is best viewed as something of a cultural artifact, a high-dollar, star-studded romantic epic inspired by a Life magazine series of the same name. This is history by Hollywood as refracted through mid-twentieth century popular culture. The story of the West is strictly one of progress and adventure. Watch for the legendary John Wayne as the legendary Gen. William T. Sherman.

Candiria Near Completion of New Album
Candiria have finished recording a good portion of their upcoming album, which they hope to release this summer. Here's an update from the band:
"It's been brought to my attention that we really haven't made any real attempt on getting concise info out about what we have been up to since the new year has begun. So here goes. This should give you a bit of an idea.
We started out writing new material in Jupiter 4 Studios during the first few weeks of January. Jupiter 4 is the studio owned and run by Ken Schalk and his brother Steve Schalk. We used the time there to write as much music as we could come up with. We then tracked drums there to about 16 different songs/peices of music. We also used this time after the drums were tracked to work out vocal ideas and let Carley do scratch tracks.
From there we took the recorded drums and went to see our old friend Mike Barile over at Purple Light Studios. We have always loved working with Mike and we new that we were going to get the sounds we wanted if we recorded with him. The combination of his gear and the gear we own is just phenomenal for what we are trying to accomplish.
We spent the next few weeks recording all of the bass and guitar tracks. Then allowed Carley some more time to work on more vocal ideas and lay down some more scratch tracks to see where we was at with all of the songs.
And that friends is where we are at today. We move on to the real vocal sessions in a week or so. And from there we are in the home stretch. I think there is a great chance of this record seeing an early summer release."
Cannae Teams Up w/ Sponsors For Tour
Boston thrashers CANNAE have teamed up with sponsors Unrestrained! Magazine and Galy Records to headline a string of shows throughout Canada. Dubbed the "Storming The Border" tour, CANNAE will be joined by Canadian bands BLOODSHOTEYE and 3 Mile Scream on the 15-date tour of cities throughout the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
"We're looking forward to playing Canada again, ever since the last time we were there with God Forbid and Sworn Enemy," CANNAE drummer Colin Conway says. "It was only a short amount of time we spent in the western section of Canada, but the shows were nothing short of amazing. We have always had a great time playing in Canada, and we're hoping that these upcoming shows will be no exception in spreading the word of Cannae throughout the Great White North."
Before crossing the boarder, CANNAE will play with The Red Death in Rochester, NY. The conclusion of the "Storming The Border" tour will coincide with the band's appearance at the third Sherbrooke Metalfest, alongside Canadian natives Neuraxis and Buried Inside. CANNAE is continuing to support last year's Gold Becomes Sacrifice (Prosthetic Records).

Getting Sedated: Perdiem Experiments In Thrash
Upon first listen, the experimental thrash metal approach of Space Coast, Florida's, Perdiem, may throw off the usual crowd that're brainwashed into appreciating only the standard blast beat, scream your guts out formula that most new metal bands use to be accepted. I was immediately intrigued by what Perdiem was doing and I'm glad to be able to open others eyes to this growing underground heavy music talent. More...
Flametal Post Video Online
Crossover Flamenco-metalers have posted a new music video on Flametal.com. Three new songs from Benjamin Woods' flamenco guitar album "bedroom sessions" have been posted on the site as well (free mp3s).

Dog Fashion Disco Plan CD Release Party
Baltimore based hard rock veterans Dog Fashion Disco, have announced their CD release party for their new album, Adultery, March 31st, 2006 at the Recher Theatre in Towson, MD at 9pm.
The CD release party will celebrate the release of the band's new album Adultery, which is due for release on April 4th, 2006 on Los Angeles based Rotten Records. Adultery is Dog Fashion Disco's third album of metal, hardcore, jazz and lounge fusion. The album is the first time the band has attempted to create a concept record that takes listeners on a journey through one man's self-destruction. The album plays like a movie with Dog Fashion Disco playing the soundtrack to one man's demented journey.
"Adultery is about this seemingly normal guy in his mid- 30's, with a wife, kids and a good job. He starts to flirt with drugs, prostitutes and eventually gives in to his dark desires and sadistic and murderous lifestyle. This record is this guy's life spiraling out of control into a demented and dark place," says Dog Fashion Disco frontman Todd Smith about the concept behind his band's latest offering. "There are so many twists and turns on this record it's more like listening to a movie at times, but the song structure still remains."
Recorded in the bowels of Baltimore with producer Steven Wright (Jimmie's Chicken Shack, SR-71), Adultery is a well calculated exercise in musical fusion. "This record doesn't follow any formula for style or genre. The record goes from jazz to metal and Ska to R&B and country," says keyboardist Jeff Siegel. "It's a way for us to keep the element of surprise there in every song. All the bands we love experiment to some extent."
With Blood Comes Cleansing Signs To Blood & Ink
Blood & Ink Records has announced the signing of WITH BLOOD COMES CLEANSING to their roster. Calling Albany, Georgia home, the band's well-crafted metallic sound and powerful vocal presence have helped them to gain notoriety throughout their area and elsewhere in the country. WITH BLOOD COMES CLEANSING are currently on tour alongside Pluto Records' IMPERIAL and will be doing dates in late February/March with Solid State Records' BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE, as well as appearing at Blood & Ink Fest in Virginia Beach, VA.
WITH BLOOD COMES CLEANSING plan to enter Planet Red Studios (BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WINTER SOLSTICE, SCARLET) later in the year to record their debut album for Blood & Ink Records. In the meantime, songs from the band's demo can be heard on their MySpace page.
Mortiis Ready Single, Featured on Norwegian TV
Mortiis will be featured on an episode of the Norwegian television show "Lydverket" on Wednesday, March 1. The subject of the program is masks and images in rock music and Mortiis' prosthetic-enhanced frontman made the band an obvious choice for the program. Noted for his unique image, the frontman of the same name began wearing a full mask in 1994 as part of the full Mortiis concept. "Lydverket" captures Mortiis years later as the concept has evolved and Mortiis has begun removing the mask during live shows.
The "Lydverket" crew followed Mortiis for nine months, filming and interviewing the band numerous times on tour in England and Norway and at photo shoots. "Lydverket" (Norwegian for "soundworks") is Norway's biggest and most respected music program with an average of 150,000 viewers and airs on the country's largest channel. The episode will also include Slipknot, KISS' first manager Bill Aucoin, and Alice Cooper, among others.
This episode of "Lydverket" will first air on NRK1 on Wednesday, March 1 at 23.10 (11:10 p.m.) and will re-play on NRK2 Sunday, March 5.
Mortiis is currently working on new material. A follow up to last year's "The Grudge" is planned for this year.
The band is also set for a debut homeland single release when a special version of "DECADENT AND DESPERATE" is released. Taken from the seminal 'THE GRUDGE' album, "DECADENT AND DESPERATE" is released in Norway on Earache on March 6, 2006.
"DECADENT AND DESPERATE" comes in three formats, all including exclusive non-album tracks. Both 7" versions feature artwork including two poster sleeves and the CD contains one post-Grudge song "UNDERDOG".
DECADENT AND DESPERATE track listing:
01. Decadent and Desperate (Album version)
02. Parasite God (live in London)*
01. Decadent and Desperate (Album version)
02. Way Too Wicked (Absinthium Mix)*

Well the night didn't start out good. Besides being late and missing Halestorm and some asshole bumping into me and knocking my camera to the ground and breaking it (The reason why I didn't photograph Seether), the night wasn't that bad considering all I endured.
So I did miss Halestorm, although I did have the pleasure of seeing/photographing them in Detroit on Dec 17th, 2005 in Detroit. Great band with lots of potential. Look for them in your Neighborhood. More...

Enforsaken's Cover Of Pantera's "Mouth For War"
Arlington Heights, Illinois-based death metallers ENFORSAKEN have uploaded their cover of the PANTERA classic "Mouth for War" on their MySpace page. "This cover was supposed to appear on a Dimebag tribute album, but the tribute never happened," the band write in a statement. "This cover is raw, dirty and unpolished...just the way we like it! We'd like to think Dime [late PANTERA guitarist] would get a kick out of it. This track was never intended for any kind of profit, so please download the hell out of it!"
ENFORSAKEN's new album, "Sinner's Intuition", is scheduled for release on March 7 via Crash Music Inc.. The follow-up to 2004's "Forever Endeavor" (Olympic/Century Media) was recorded at Studio One in Racine, Wisconsin with engineer/owner Chris Djuricic and assistant Aaron Brigman. The album was mastered at The Bolier Room Studios in Chicago, IL with Collin Jordan.
"Sinner's Intuition" will feature back-up vocals from Swedish multi-instrumentalist/producer Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH, PAN THY MONIUM).

Managing Operational Risk of Financial Services Processes – part 1/ 2
By Sanjeev Sharma on Nov 15, 2011
Financial institutions view compliance as a regulatory burden that incurs a high initial capital outlay and recurring costs. By its very nature regulation takes a prescriptive, common-for-all, approach to managing financial and non-financial risk. Needless to say, no longer does mere compliance with regulation will lead to sustainable differentiation. Genuine competitive advantage will stem from being able to cope with innovation demands of the present economic environment while meeting compliance goals with regulatory mandates in a faster and cost-efficient manner.
Let's first take a look at the key factors that are limiting the pursuit of the above goal.
Regulatory requirements are growing, driven in-part by revisions to existing mandates in line with cross-border, pan-geographic, nature of financial value chains today and more so by frequent systemic failures that have destabilized the financial markets and the global economy over the last decade. In addition to the increase in regulation, financial institutions are faced with pressures of regulatory overlap and regulatory conflict.
Regulatory overlap arises primarily from two things: firstly, due to the blurring of boundaries between lines-of-businesses with complex organizational structures and secondly, due to varying requirements of jurisdictional directives across geographic boundaries e.g. a securities firm with operations in US and EU would be subject different requirements of "Know-Your-Customer" (KYC) as per the PATRIOT ACT in US and MiFiD in EU.
Another consequence and concomitance of regulatory change is regulatory conflict, which again, arises primarily from two things: firstly, due to diametrically opposite priorities of line-of-business and secondly, due to tension that regulatory requirements create between shareholders interests of tighter due-diligence and customer concerns of privacy. For instance, Customer Due Diligence (CDD) as per KYC requires eliciting detailed information from customers to prevent illegal activities such as money-laundering, terrorist financing or identity theft. While new customers are still more likely to comply with such stringent background checks at time of account opening, existing customers baulk at such practices as a breach of trust and privacy.
As mentioned earlier regulatory compliance addresses both financial and non-financial risks. Operational risk is a non-financial risk that stems from business execution and spans people, processes, systems and information. Operational risk arising from financial processes in particular transcends other sources of such risk. Let's look at the factors underpinning the operational risk of financial processes.
The rapid pace of innovation and geographic expansion of financial institutions has resulted in proliferation and ad-hoc evolution of back-office, mid-office and front-office processes. This has had two serious implications on increasing the operational risk of financial processes:
· Inconsistency of processes across lines-of-business, customer channels and product/service offerings. This makes it harder for the risk function to enforce a standardized risk methodology and in turn breaches harder to detect.
· The proliferation of processes coupled with increasingly frequent change-cycles has resulted in accidental breaches and increased vulnerability to regulatory inadequacies.
In summary, regulatory growth (including overlap and conflict) coupled with process proliferation and inconsistency is driving process compliance complexity
In my next post I will address the implications of this process complexity on financial institutions and outline the role of BPM in lowering specific aspects of operational risk of financial processes.

Tips for making nanodots
Scientists at the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan have made silver nanodots, nanowires and patterns by transferring material from a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) tip to a silicon surface. The technique has high reproducibility, so it could be suitable for making nano devices.
"We are very interested in the fabrication of nano devices such as a single electron/hole tunnelling device by scanning probe microscopy [SPM] nanotechnology," Daisuke Fujita told nanotechweb.org. "Up to now we have demonstrated that gold nanodots can be transferred onto Si(111) 7x7 surfaces from a gold STM tip by the application of voltage pulses. However, the gold transfer yield - about 50% - is not enough to make continuous nanowires."
Using a silver-coated STM tip, the researchers achieved deposition reliabilities of almost 100% - that is, nearly every single voltage pulse they applied resulted in the formation of a nanodot. "Owing to this high reproducibility, it's much easier to fabricate continuous nanowires than with a gold tip," added Fujita.
Fujita and colleagues reckon the dots are made by the field-enhanced diffusion of silver atoms to the apex of the tip so that a point contact formed between the tip and the silicon surface. When the tip is removed, some of the silver atoms remain on the silicon surface because they have formed a chemical bond. Typically, the dots had a full-width half-maximum (FWHM) dimension of about 25 nm and were 2.5 nm high.
"This nanofabrication method can be applied in principle for most conductive substrates, such as the industrially important Si(100) wafer," added Fujita. "By this method we can produce nanocircuits for single electron devices and various other quantum-effect devices." Now the researchers will continue to investigate the model of tip-material transfer. Then the plan is to make a nano single electron transistor (SET) device. "Our nano SET device is aiming to achieve tunnelling of electrons and holes into the centre island, which will realize the smallest light-emitting device in the world," said Fujita.
The researchers reported their work in Applied Physics Letters.

Loved our Masthope Vacation!!
August 20, 2014
Our family loved our first Masthope vacation! This was also our first family vacation with our five yr old and twin 3 yr olds and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The house was beautiful, clean and well maintained. It had all of the amenities we needed and then some. Our children LOVED the basement and the toys they found there (Razor Scooters rated the highest). Beds were comfy. Kitchen was perfect. The location was great because it was walking (5 yr old w/high energy & up) or bike riding distance to the lodge/store/pool/playground, but not so close that you could see or hear any of it. It took 4 minutes to drive to the lodge, 4 to the stables, 10 at most to the lake. Glen was always a pleasure to communicate with and very helpful. He was quick to reply to any questions we had and proactively ensured we had any information needed. Masthope itself was fantastic. The pool was perfect, pony rides at the stables were a hit, the kids loved feeding the goats, llama, pigs and Shetlands at the petting farm, lake and river spots were beautiful, every playground was a winner, Mtashope run kids activities and the lodge saved us on rainy days. My husband loved the biking, fishing and the rafting. I loved having some nights off cooking while eating at the lodge and some peaceful evenings on our deck under a blanket of stars. The whole family got a kick out of seeing the deer and wild turkeys roaming around freely. There is really no need to leave Masthope except to get your groceries, however we did decide to visit the Zane Gray museum, Cedar Rapids river rafting, and have dinner at Crossroads in Barryville. Great experience and we're already looking forward to returning next year!

Casa Chalet - great place !
July 30, 2014
We stayed for 3 weeks in July 2014. 5 adults and 4 kids. I should say this home is great stay for family during the summer time, we all got so much positive energy there. House comfortably located on a corner lot with wide access from 2 streets, huge territory around the house. Located away from the busy streets so not much cars there - it is good if you like the nature and silence and piece of mind. Community is great mostly in a forest, not gated, heated swimming pool, but we liked lake more, very peaceful warm water. House is 3 bedrooms, open plan living room with kitchen in it, AC in each room, high ceiling in a living. Comfortably sleeps 9. Everything in a good working condition, no compliances at all, nice deck. Clean easy to breath air, many animals - we saw eagles, bear, fox, hare, dear and some smaller like squirrel animals. We got so much positives overall in there and did not want to leave, would recommend to anyone for summer stay. Hopefully will come again to try the winter there as there are several slops and lifts there. Personal thank to Manny - the owner who leads through each step and takes care of any issue. With love from Masthope !!!

Relaxing stay
August 15, 2011
Pros: Very relaxing with no one to bother you. Owner Manny is awesome and very friendly. Cons: Nothing is walking distance. The A/C wasn't as strong as we wanted it to be. People should bring DVD's and board games for rainy days. Go to the lake on sunny days.

Great home!
August 2, 2010
We had a wonderful time! Overall, the home was pretty clean and my entire family enjoyed the stay very much. I didn't realize there was no central air in the property, which was probably my oversight. The first couple of days there were really hot but after that it cooled off and the heat wasn't an issue. I would recommend this home to anyone

Dozens of agencies work with the homeless, domestic violence victims and low-income population providing temporary housing and recovery programs, but when their clients complete the programs they may have new housing and a new focus for their life, but they often have no furniture. NW Furniture Bank meets these needs by providing furniture to those transitioning into their own homes. Furniture is also available for foster children who age-out of the program, and for people who lose all of their possessions in natural disasters such as fire or flood.
The NW Furniture Bank strives to give their clients a bed to sleep on, a sofa to sit on, and a table to eat from. Hundreds of volunteers are using their time, talents and donated furniture to restore hope, dignity and stability to families that are working hard to rebuild their lives. learn more >

India, energy consumption giant?
The weekly quiz is provided by the Globalist, a daily online feature service that covers issues and trends in globalization. The nonpartisan organization provides commercial services and nonprofit educational features.
700 millions Indians -- close to one-tenth of the global population -- recently had to contend with a power blackout. Despite high rates of population and economic growth, much of the world still views India as a small player in the global energy market. We wonder: Which of the following statements about India's energy are true?
A. It is one of the world's smaller energy consumers
B. It uses a lot of clean fuels
C. Its per capita CO2 emissions are low by global standards
D. It needs to vastly increase its power generating capacity
It is one of the world's smaller energy consumers is not correct.
India is currently the world's fourth-largest energy consumer, behind the United States, China and Russia, according to data compiled by the U.S. Energy Information Agency for 2009 (the latest year available). Its total primary energy demand -- at 21.7 quadrillion Btu (British thermal units) -- equals that of Brazil, Spain and Australia combined. Europe's aggregate energy use totaled 81.2 quadrillion Btu in 2009, or almost four times India's power consumption. Despite India's much larger population, Europe's more intensive use of power reflects, in part, the much larger size of its economy.
It uses a lot of clean fuels is not correct.
Despite rapid economic growth, over 33 percent of Indian households have no access to electricity and more than 70 percent still use fuel-wood, twigs and animal dung for cooking. In 2011, such noncommercial energy comprised 24 percent of India's primary energy pie, following coal at 42 percent. By 2035, the share of coal in India's energy basket is expected to increase slightly, from 42 percent today to over 47 percent. Similarly, the share of oil will rise from 23 percent to 26 percent and that of natural gas from 6 percent to 8 percent, according to the International Energy Agency.
Its per capita CO2 emissions are low by global standards is correct.
Despite India's relatively large aggregate power use, energy consumption is actually very low on a per-capita basis. The country's annual carbon emissions equaled only 1.5 metric tons per Indian in 2008 (the latest year for which data are available), according to the World Bank. That is about a third of the global average -- and less than 10 percent of the per capita level of the United States. However, India's overall low average masks a significant energy divide within the country. Energy use by its richest citizens rivals Western levels. But when its poor are factored in, the country's average drops dramatically.
It needs to vastly increase its power generating capacity is correct.
The United Nations has set 1,000 KWh as the minimum amount of electricity needed for a person to have an acceptable quality of life. That would mean an increase in India's power-generating capacity by a factor of three to four, according to the New Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation. This underscores one crucial fact that will shape the globe's future: Only the fact that the world's poor have largely been cut off from most energy sources has permitted the sustainability of the planet to date, in terms of both energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

#22970 closed Bug (fixed)
Migration dependencies not correctly calculated
|Reported by:

|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
When working with the new migrations I hit a bug that dependencies between migrations aren't correctly calculated. Migrations that add a ForeignKey to a model in another app that was created in the second or later migrations of that other app have a depenency on the first migration instead of the later migration. Steps to reproduce:
- Start a new project and create two apps myapp1 and myapp2
- Add a model named Model1 to myapp1
- Run makemigrations, resulting in 0001_initial.py that creates Model1
- Add a model named Model2 to myapp1
- Run makemigrations, resulting in 0002_model2.py that creates Model2
- Add a model named Model3 with a ForeignKey to 'myapp1.Model2' to myapp2
- Run makemigrations, resulting in 0001_initial.py that creates Model3
The 0001_initial.py of myapp2 will then have ('myapp1', '__first__') as dependency while Model2 is created in the second migration.

I suspect what's needed here is for the migration to depend on __last__, which we definitely used to do and I backed out for some reason.

Your fix didn't work, when I ran migrate I got the following error:
KeyError: u"Dependency references nonexistent parent node (u'myapp1', u'__last__')"
It looks like __last__ isn't implemented, there isn't any other mention of it in the source. I took a look at the code and fixed it in a different way: get the name of the app's last migration from the graph and use that. I did some quick tests and everything seems to work fine.

There was a typo and it should be __latest__; see #23008.

Where have all the workers gone?
April 12, 2013
That America created only 88,000 jobs in March, less than half the number anticipated, was jolting news, indicating the recovery that the White House has boasted about may not be at hand....

I'm not an educator, if you're not intelligent enough to see how misleading those numbers are, I'm sorry. You can't compare the results of groups with different challenges and call that fair. If you do, you're part of the problem. If I run the 40m dash in running shoes, and you run it in boots...it's not fair to put our times next to each other and say that I'm a superior runner. Try visiting the poor section of an inner city one time and see what those kids have to deal with everyday. Call it an excuse if you want to, but it's true. It's easy to look down on someone. SMH

That's correct. The stats are presented in a slanted fashion. There are variables to consider that are not presented. That's a political tactic used by hate groups. The GOP is not a hate group and this article does not represent its views. I just want that to be clear. I'm not going to bother arguing with you about anything else. We both know it is pointless and I'm a productive adult with other things to do with my time. Thanks for reading!

This article does not represent the views of all members of the Republican party. The way these stats are presented (as though everyone's situation is the same and some just choose not to work) are slanted and extremely prejudicial. The republican party stands for American Conservatism and not promoting division amongst our citizens. It's hard to see with the loudest members constantly spewing hate speech, but at it's core, this is not what we represent. You will see in time. There is a true rebranding effort in the works. Stay tuned...

"Half a million U.S. workers (495,000) disappeared from the labor force. They dropped out. They are no longer even looking for a job." How many jobs went unfilled because these people dropped out of the workforce? Zero. If there were jobs to be had so many would not be dropping out of the search. Where are the jobs promised in exchange for the tax cuts of 2001? Where are the jobs promised during the election of 2010?

While I can agree things may look bleak to some, but how about telling us a solution rather than laying blame? All we seem to hear is tax cuts and spending cuts from one side, and tax increases and spending cuts on the other. Logic dictates that from 2001 with tax cuts and spending increases through the present, deficits have increased to 2009 and leveled off the past few years. So if it took 10 fiscal years to get to where we are, why is it now a call to reverse course so quickly? I don't recall all the rants and raves when this all started 2001 and continued for 9 years, but all of a sudden it's general quarters, all hands on deck. And to use children, disabled, young, black, hispanic, female, baby boomers(aka elderly), illegal immigrants, please continue down this road and you and your type will be extinct. Is this what the RNC Chair was referring to with a rebranding effort? Seems the status quo is fine with old Partick. Pass the popcorn.

"Though we have been creating jobs for two years, even if at a torpid pace, the food stamps rolls have soared to 47 million at a cost of $80 billion. When George W. Bush departed, 31 million Americans were on food stamps."
And here we go with statistics and am sure some will form certain conclusions without looking at facts. For the facts of who is receiving these benefits visit the usda website and use search term " Characteristics of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Households" and look for latest fiscal year, which is 2011 according to what I found. 45.1% were children under 18. There's a racial breakdown for those inclined to ya know. Let us know what you find marj.

I see major is at it again using the same failed argument using stats and race/ethnicity. See report under opinion section titled "Test and Tiger Moms" showing how ridiculous the argument is.
Again, if the unemployment rate for whites is 7.5% and Iraq/Afghanistan veterans is 9.9%, Do Whites and vets not have a superior work ethic or superior capacities for work and success in a post-industrial economy, since that rate is also higher than Asians? Truly dillusional argument trying to be made marjorie.

German TV is currently ramping up the campaign for "green" ideology. They have propaganda programs on VOX, ProSieben, Kabel Eins, Einsfestival and 3sat, to mention a few. Many of the programs are years old, some of them from BBC, others from National Geographic. Common for them all, they serve only the "green" religious believe system and are riddled with pseudo science and right-out lies. One of the typical lies is that polar bears are about to die out due to global warming. The CO2 is visualized as smoke particles and water vapor from big "bad" chimneys, our use of fossil fuels is the sole source of "excessive" CO2, which in turn will increase global temperature by 6 degrees before the end of this century. Wind turbines and solar panels is the only solution to keep the world from heating up more than 2 degrees Celsius. The developing countries are innocent, etc., etc...
One dominant program at the moment is: "Der Klimawandel - Ist die Welt noch zu retten?" from Spiegel TV. On http://www.spiegel.de/flash/flash-21549.html you can get an impression (in particular if you are familiar with the German language). Spielgel TV takes for granted that we change the climate dramatically: "What can we humans do to reverse our self inflicted climate change?" No questions asked, the science is settled: The oceans will rise with at least one meter, the melting on North and South Pole is intensifying and glaciers all over the world is melting an an ever alarming rate.
My guess is that the German media is gearing up to defend a misguided and unscientific approach to the energy policy. One should think that a nation with one of the world's most developed industry, would want to protect this high standard by keeping competitive. But how will they keep competitive with self inflicted skyrocketing energy prices, and how can they on one side claim we have to minimize production of CO2 and on the other side close down nuclear power plants, substituting them with coal fired plants combined with wind turbines. They seem do defend a "greening" of Germany by repeating their "green" propaganda again and again.
Occasionally a propaganda program will interview a skeptic, but only to present him as ridiculous, and always with the moderator finishing with a fatherly, mature "green" viewpoint. In this way we are all made clear that skeptics are a few wishful conservative old fools, who does not care about environment and our blue planet. It is sickening, distasteful and horrifying that German TV channels present the climate change, which nobody denies is taking place, in such a simplistic and propagandistic way. Next thing will be the tree-day weather forecast is to be defined by the government in order to adjust the commodity prices on the stock exchange.

Ridden by Hall of Famer Gary Stevens, Great Hot ran 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.08 and paid $20.80, $5.60 and $3.40. It was Stevens' fifth win in the race, having won it for the first time in 1988.
"At the three-eighths pole I let her out a notch and it wasn't full-tilt yet, but it was enough to get their attention," Stevens said of the other four horses. "When we turned into the stretch, she still had enough to hold the other filly (Book Review) off."
Stevens has won three straight stakes at Santa Anita, having swept a pair last weekend. The 49-year-old rider began a comeback last month after a seven-year layoff.
Book Review returned $2.80 and $2.10 as the even-money favorite for Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert. Lady of Fifty was another 3 3/4 lengths back in third and paid $2.80 to show.
The victory, worth $120,000, increased Great Hot's career earnings to $537,927, with five wins in 21 starts. The 5-year-old Brazilian-bred had been winless in her previous 13 starts.

Ethiopian children stricken with malaria face poor odds for survival: community health workers are sparse, and the illness strikes so swiftly that rural mothers often cannot obtain treatment in time to save them.
Following the end of a civil war in the northern region of Tigray in 1991, researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health designed a new approach to help Ethiopian children survive malaria. The researchers trained local mothers as coordinators of malaria care to augment community-based care in clusters of villages known as tabias.

Civil Society against Corruption is a social learning platform initiated by the Romanian Academic Society (SAR) in 2007 with the support of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). It grew from a Balkan network to an East European network in 2009, with an evaluation project of civil society actions against corruption developed by SAR and funded by the Open Society Institute, offering an Anti-Corruption Toolbox dedicated to civil society activists against corruption, journalists, and scholars. It acquired an academic dimension in 2012 with the creation of the European Research Centre for Anti-Corruption and State-Building (ERCAS) where anti-corruption initiatives are documented and promoted through a database of projects, impact analyses, and diagnosis reports.
ERCAS is located at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, Germany, and was created as an institution where state-building and corruption are studied from a state-society perspective, with a focus on the interplay of formal and informal institutions, on governance regimes and the transition from particularism to ethical universalism. ERCAS also provides policy advice to governments, development agencies and the European Union towards the implementation of policies and programmes to achieve measurable impact and effectiveness in building states which are impartial, fair and high on infrastructural power.
In addition to the research activities conducted at the centre, its approach to the understanding of corruption and the development of anti-corruption policies is also present in related seminars taught by Prof. Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, ERCAS's director, as part of the Master of Public Policy programme at the Hertie School of Governance. Furthermore, the centre stimulates research on corruption by young academics at the Master and Doctoral level, whose work can be seen in our Working Paper series, together with publications by our research fellows.

The 1980s' Surge In Home Prices Was Mostly A Mirage
At first glance, it looks like a healthy rise in value calculated to bring smiles to homeowners' faces. According to Census Bureau estimates, the median value of owner-occupied homes in the nation rose from $47,200 in 1980 to $79,100 in 1990. The problem with this rosy picture is that it involves what economists term "money illusion"-that is, the numbers are not adjusted for inflation. In real terms, says Census, the median value of owner-occupied homes rose just 5% during the past decade. And the true increase was even less than that, since the housing stock itself was upgraded during the decade as many new homes with more amenities such as central air-conditioning and extra bathrooms were constructed.
The modest appreciation chalked up by homes in the 1980s contrasts sharply to the gains enjoyed by homeowners in the 1970s. In that decade, reports Census, the real median value of owner-occupied homes soared by 39% as their current-dollar value nearly tripled, from $17,000 to $47,200.

Definición de toxicology en inglés:
The branch of science concerned with the nature, effects, and detection of poisons.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- This book represents an important contribution to neurology, toxicology and pharmacology.
- Development of the science of metal toxicology has been seriously hindered by the use of incorrect terminology.
- It was divided into internal medicine, diseases of the head, surgery, toxicology, etc.
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- The regulatory tools used by the CVM in the past were designed to assess the toxicologic safety of chemical compounds.
- The resident is responsible for the assessment and management of patients with pharmacologic and toxicologic problems.
- Tests for ingestion of ketamine are seldom available, but ketamine may be suspected if a toxicologic test is positive for PCP.
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- Inasmuch as chemical properties determine toxicological properties, metalloids should not be considered as a subset of metals but as a subset of nonmetals.
- In particular, it will be necessary to determine whether a gene product is of pharmacological or toxicological importance and whether individual allelic variants are of therapeutic importance.
- Very few other chemicals have been given such extensive scrutiny, and there is still no epidemiological or human toxicological evidence to impugn DDT.
toxicologically adverbio
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- The second step involved adsorption of the toxicologically safe anionic dyes fast green and naphthol yellow S to the clay complexes.
- It contains the ethyl mercury radical attached to the sulfur group of thiosalicylate and is believed to behave toxicologically like other ethyl mercury compounds.
- In each case, samples of femoral venous blood and urine obtained at autopsy were toxicologically analyzed to determine alcohol concentrations.
- Oraciones de ejemplo
- After 48 hours, the fish were removed and their brains studied for evidence of lipid peroxidation, a tissue-burning chemical reaction that toxicologists use as a standard of biological damage.
- With the advantage of hindsight, it is remarkable that for so many years toxicologists have largely ignored chemical speciation of metals.
- Dr Sunderman was a Renaissance man with accomplishments as a physician, clinical scientist, toxicologist, author, editor, violinist, poet, and photographer.

Biopharmaceutical Sector: An Important Part of Any Innovation Agenda
Biopharmaceutical Sector: An Important Part of Any Innovation Agenda
06.27.11 | By
President Obama was in Pittsburgh recently talking about innovation, manufacturing jobs and the economy. The President has been talking about innovation as a key factor in building a stronger economy since taking office. However, his agenda is often on display in traditional manufacturing venues like the one Obama is visiting today in Pittsburgh.
The Administration's vision must be broader. America's biopharmaceutical research sector is a model of innovation and a spur to economic development. Biopharmaceutical research companies are the most research intensive in the United States today. Additionally, R&D spurred on by innovation has a significant ripple effect on sector-related jobs. As of 2008, the biopharmaceutical research sector supported 3.1 million jobs across the country, including 2.4 million in other sectors. What's more, the biopharmaceutical sector is a rare source of projected growth in U.S. manufacturing jobs.
But important as the jobs and research and manufacturing facilities are to the economy and the communities they help support and build, we should not lose sight of the fact that these are all in service of a more important goal: developing new medicines to help patients live longer, healthier lives.
The upshot is that a true national innovation agenda must better recognize the role that the biopharmaceutical research sector now plays in both our economy and in efforts to improve healthcare in America. And part of that recognition means driving policies that further medical innovation, not threaten or hinder it.

Toadcast #252 – The Partycast
Don't worry, the chances of me actually playing party music on a Toadcast are about as good as Lana Del Rey getting some semblance of life back into that blank, empty, defeated gaze of hers.
No, in reality this is called the Partycast because we are having the label Christmas Party tomorrow at Summerhall, and so tomorrow I shall be running around all day collecting a PA, and shitloads of absolutely awful tinsel and dreadful Christmas decorations.
Also, rather tragically. I shall be trying my very best (and probably failing) not to get too utterly obliterated because I will have to be up early in the morning to return the bloody PA and get all our merch stuff through to Chambre 69 to try and sell to people of Glasgow in vast, lucrative quantities. But umm… well I think it's time to accept that I am going to feel like a menstruating badger on Saturday morning.
