Get Ready for Eurofudge
The European Union is kicking the can down the road. Unfortunately, the road happens to be the one from the end of "Thelma and Louise".
For those who don't remember the film, they drive off the edge of the Grand Canyon.
The EU's hitherto temporary rescue packages designed to save the euro look like they'll be made permanent. Although a final agreement isn't likely to be reached before March, a trillion dollar funding pool will probably end up backing the single currency.
Unfortunately, the likelihood that the deal produces anything other than the usual Eurofudge is painfully low. That's because there is a distinct lack of political will to establish, monitor and enforce the sort of fiscal rules necessary to prevent a repeat of the current crisis.
Remember, the Maastricht criteria designed to prevent the current crisis–the limits on government fiscal deficits and overall debt–were routinely overridden because the governments subject to the limitations were also in charge of enforcing them.
The proposed answer is greater political union. Through this, individual member states would lose fiscal autonomy for the good of the single currency. No longer would they be able to breach negotiated treaties without compunction. A single monetary policy would be reinforced by appropriate fiscal policy. Countries running inflationary booms because of one size fits all monetary policy would be forced to act, braking these effects with higher taxes or lower government spending. And vice versa.
Can it work?
Unlikely. The European experience has been for governments to lie about the true state of their finances, manipulating their numbers through derivatives or off balance sheet accounting. OK, maybe the EU could mitigate this deceit with stricter approaches to monitoring national accounts, although smart investment bankers always have strong incentives to help find a way around the rules.
But, even so, there's the small matter of enforcement. How does the EU force governments to stick to the terms of their agreements? Backsliding, delayed implementation and turning blind eyes to existing EU rules are already endemic across peripheral Europe. What's Germany going to do, send it its own police into Athens, Lisbon and Rome to make sure the rules are adhered to?
The resulting shortfalls mean that future rescues will be necessary. Except the appetite for doing them is likely to be slim to non-existent among the rescuers, namely the German public who have to put up the money.
And that's when the car goes airborne.

Not that anyone will read it, but I have got to weigh in on this one. Family Man Librarian seems to have started it all, with this comment:
And I particularly got tired of the "fangirly" comments about — gush — actually being able to — gush — speak face-to-face with the Library Gods (a.k.a. aforementioned Mr. Dempsey, among others).
with a link to some Computers in Libraries 2006 conference reporting over at Caveat Lector. Then there was a string of comments on Mr. Family Man's blog, all very polite (we are librarians, after all). None of this is an attack on Mr. Family Man, nor on the respondants to his blog who commented on this subject. But all of these things together did get my back up a little bit, and I feel the need to vent.
I was not at CiL, and I do not have a thing for Lorcan Dempsey personally, but yes IT IS COOL to meet people whose work you've been reading for years. Caveat Lector makes the excellent point that librarians shouldn't be afraid of a little fun, and I couldn't agree more, but I also think this has a more practical side. Whatever your opinions on the whole "we have a problem with recruiting new talent to the profession / no we don't" debate, I think everyone can agree that when we do bring new people into the profession we want them to be the very best. We want librarianship to be their first choice, something they really want to do, not something they settle for. We want people with talent, who have new ideas and enough gusto to excite grant funding boards. We want people who are EXCITED about libraries. And gracious knows this can be kind of hard sometimes. Much as I love my job, I am not precicely pumped to go talk about MODS at my next meeting.
Take copyright. This can be the mostly deadly boring subject on earth. I had to try very hard not to sleep through these classes at library school. And yet I have also watched packed auditoriums acting like they were at a rock n' roll show at speeches by Lawrence Lessig. Give me Lessig any day of the week.
Some people seem to be objecting to the whole "culture of celebrity" and I'm not a fan of celebrity culture either… when we're talking about reality TV or Paris Hilton. I think librarianship has a long way to go before we reach that point. When Nancy Pearl is getting featured on Go Fug Yourself (Not that she ever would be. Nancy, I think you have timeless style.) then we can start getting upset about celebrity culture in librarianship. In the meantime I think we should be going squee over the fact that there are talented young people who are willing to devote their passion and energy to the profession. We have enough boring already, thank you.

I'm sorry, boss. I was really busy this week.
Washed your hair?
And trimmed my nails.
Oh, well sure, that explains it then.
That said, it's going to be an hour of me, telling stories by the fireplace, just like I used to do before you all were born. Ah, the good old days. No electricity. No phones. No LEGO. 8-�
Maybe we'd better try this a different way...
*Staudie jumps up and salutes* SIR, YES SIR!
That's pretty good, I like that.
*Staudie grumbles*
Now, here's what we're going to do. Go get one of those jeepy tanky wheely things you keep building and go find us someone to interview, and make it interesting!
*Staudie runs off, hops in one of his tanks, and heads out into the night, with the camera crew close behind, but not too close since Staudie drives like a maniac*
For those of you who are listening to us on the radio *wacko* I'll give you a little description of the scene.
Well, let's see, that's LEGOLAND Blvd right near the park. That used to be some shrubbery before Staudie ran it over. That used to be a fountain. That used to be a park bench. That used to be ... ew. I'm not sure what that used to be. :-X
Come on Staudie, find someone!
I'm looking, boss! Hey, it's Hinckley and Sinner up ahead!
Oh no, they've seen me!
Ok, ok, act casual. Tell them you're out getting me some tea. Don't mention that the show is on.
*we see Hinckley and Sinner walk up to Staudie*
Good evening, lad.
Oh, uh, hi Mr. Hinckley, Mr. Sinner.
*Sinner starts tinkering with the tank engine*
What are you doing in town this evening? Don't you have a show to do?
Er, yeah, we've got it taken care of.
Hmmm... Shouldn't you be in the studio interviewing someone?
Oh, yeah, I better go!
You dropped this. *hands Staudie a quarter*
Yeah, it's a nice tank. You've developed a stutter again.
It was horribly underpowered. I took care of that.
Weird kid.
Strewth! He hangs out with imperialshadows too much.
*Hinckley and Sinner walk into the Clam Cream Emporium and out of camera shot*
Nice work there. Subtle. :-|
*Staudie pulls away at 200mph*
Looks like Sinner did a good job on that engine.
*people jump out of the way and small children start crying*
That's pretty much typical when he's driving anyway.
*Staudie crashes into the harbour and barely makes it out as the tank sinks*
AAAAAHHHHHH! Don't do that!
Interview phred, he's nice!
Oh, ok!
*Staudie sloshes over towards phred, who looks a bit ... concerned*
May I interview you?
Reluctantly, yes :-P
Reluctantly? What, I'm not fun anymore? X-D
You used to be fun?
Q. Why the name and the cool (I think so) sigfig?
A. Well, my real name is Frederick, most ppl call me Fred, but my friends call me Phred. X-D
In high school, some friends and i changed the spelling of our names for fun, mine was the only one that stuck.
Around the same time, we also had our name spelled backwards.
So sometimes if 'phred' is taken as a username i'll use derhp (like at BL)
With my sigfig, i wanted a fig that was different from what other piratey types had and all the good piratey torsos were already taken by other EBers :-P
so i chose a none pirate torso but can still be used. (Lando on a desert skiff)
My sigfig's head is supposed to be me. I'm rarely clean shaven, and don't ever have a mustache to speak of.
That was a long answer. :-$
I have to wonder how different Fred and Phred are pronounced.
Q. How long have you collected lego? How old are you?
A. Since 1986 i've been collecting lego, my first 2 sets were 6378 and .
Had my dark ages from 1996 to 1999 (high school).
I'm now 27 years old. X-D
You'll feel older after the interview. I always do.
Q. How is that big ship your building coming along?
A. It's coming along great.
When it's complete above the waterline, i'd love to go to brickworld in chicago and display it. X-D
When it's complete, it'll be about 7 ft long and 6 ft high. (or 2.15 m by 1.84 m X-D )
Q. What is your favourite Set? (Say top 3)
A. I'd say it's a tie between the Black Seas Barracuda and the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer. *y*
Then i like the Imperial Outpost.
Very nice choices!
Q. What is your Favourite Theme?
A. Guess *pirate*
Q. When is Talk Like a Pirate Day?
A. September 19th (every year)
Q. Best In Real Life Lego Moment?
A. When my wife got me my UCS Imperial Star Destroyer for Christmas.
I love my wife. *wub*
Q. Best EB Moment?
A. When my brother was in EB too. (duke schunke)
He works too much now and doesn't want to play anymore. :'-(
My second favorite moment was when i became a pirate regulator X-D
I enjoy super powers :-P
Yeah, but those tights have got to go.
Q. If you could design a custom set, what would it be? Whatever you want. No 4+ sets please :-X
A. It'd be awesome if TLG made the HMS Sophie mini-fig scale. *y*
Jack Aubrey's first command in Master & Commander.
It's a 16 gun brig. It'd be about 76 studs long and 24 studs wide.
Thumb-link to images of the Sophie
Q. Why The title, "Master Index Builder" ?
A. Ahem *sad* That's New Master Index Builder!
I have the title cuz i keep most of the Indexes current with any new MOCs that are shared in the pirate forum.
Bonaparte is the original creator of the Ship, Land-based, and other indexes.
He put A LOT of work getting them set up *y*
And a fine job you've both done!
Q. Where do you keep your loot? can we see? (Ie Your lair)
A. In my lego room of course.
Oh I suppose i can share some pics. (kind of blurry though)
Q. What would you say is your best creation yet?
A. My favorite creation that i've completed so far is my French merchant ship that i made for the Pirate Halloween contests
Q. Am I annoying?
A. No, not yet. But we all have the potential to be annoying.
Staudie has a lot of potential.
Aw, that's sweet, boss.
Not too bright either.
*Staudie looks confused*
Q. What is your favourite (Real) Ship?
A. Definitely the USS Constitution.
In the war of 1812, the constitution was the first ship US to beat a british frigate and beat a small british frigate and a brig at the same time right after the end of the war.
(poor communication at the time)
Q. Who should we Interview Next?
A. Mr. Phes or Bonaparte
If they've already been asked, the ZCereberus
They are very busy gentlemen, but definitely being worked on.
Thanks for joining me, it's been a lot of fun!
I'm glad one of us enjoyed it.
And that's another episode of EB News Presents! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed having Staudie out of the studio!
Until next week, I'm imperialshadows and he's not. X-D

Adams all Lois'd up
I think this is the first real image of both Cavill and Adams together for Man of Steel. It's you're standard photo shoot pic, but it's cool. Also, one thing that bugs me about modern hero movie outfits is that they seem to have them custom made by some sort of extreme sports company. Honestly, where the hell do they get the dodgeball looking fabric that they use for these outfits?
Enjoy the Empire cover. I'm going to go ponder.
Man of Steel opens June 14

Northern Art Prize & Northern Film School
Northern Art Prize Film from Northern Art Prize on Vimeo.
This year the Northern Art Prize commissioned the Leeds based Northern Film School to make a short film that would give the public a chance to see what the Northern Art Prize is all about. A team of six recent graduates and current students from the school went on location over the summer to meet the four short listed artists – Alec Finlay, Lubaina Himid, David Jacques and Haroon Mirza – in their studios to talk about their work and what being nominated means to them. They also interviewed Prize director Pippa Hale to get the lowdown on why the exhibition of work from the short list opening on 26 November 2010 at Leeds Art Gallery is a must see and what the Prize says about visual arts in the North today.
We are really excited to see the Northern Art Prize through fresh eyes and think that the Film School have done a fantastic job of understanding the Prize and getting to know the artists, producing a film that everyone culturally curious will enjoy.

We had great fun playing this new game. We were a little slower than the 10 minute learning limit, however. We have only played two evenings but we played late into the night... not because it was LONG like the board game, but because we could play many rounds and challenge our own strategies to win 'next hand'.
We didn't decide for sure the rules concerning: Does someone always go out? Do you just keep trading until someone does? or, what if the draw pile is gone before someone does. If no one goes out, does the chance card nullify the Mr. Monopoly majority reward... since no one went out to gain immuntiy from Chance. Thanks for new fun game.
My 11-year-old daughter and I play Monopoly: The Card Came all the time. It has some of the flavor of Monopoly, but goes much quicker. Don't misunderstand me, it isn't the SAME as Monopoly, but feels very much related to it. We've tried all of the other Monopoly spin-offs from Advance to Boardwalk to Waterworks to Monopoly Express. All the others either flop right off the bat or fade fast, but this one has retained its interest for us. It has a little bit of strategy, but mostly luck of the draw. Its a neat quickie substitute for a real Monopoholic. If you like Monopoly and you like card games, I recommend it.

Rubber roofs were historically subject to leakage and moisture buildup. New methods of producing the materials used have reduced or eliminated these issues. When commercial roofing contractors like Montgomery Contractors in the Winston-Salem, NC area are asked for their opinion on a low cost roofing material, they recommend rubber roofing. A rubber roof is not the best solution for every roofing project. However, for commercial buildings which often have flat roofs it is one of the best options available.
Improved seaming
Many early rubber roofs had issues with leakage around the seams. The material used today has been improved by adding an adhesive to one edge of the material when it is produced. By adding the tape directly to the material as it is produced, not only has leakage been prevented, it has also reduced the labor of installing the roof by 75%.
Vapor barrier
Commercial roofing contractors who installed some of the first rubber roof material often heard about moisture buildup on the interior of the membrane. This problem has been eliminated by adding a vapor barrier before the rubber roof is installed. This may sound like a simple fix, but sometimes the easy answer is the right one.
Polyester fleece backing
Businesses in the Triad area also have the option of having a rubber roof with a polyester fleece backing used on their roof. The addition of this backing helps to reduce shrinkage and improved the stretch ability of the material used for rubber roofs. This allows the material to stand up to changes in weather conditions better.
If you are considering repairs or replacement of a roof in Greensboro, NC and the Triad area, talk to a commercial roofing contractor at Montgomery Contractors about a rubber roof. The changes that have been made in the materials used for these roofs have provided commercial roofing contractors with a cost effective and long lasting alternative to offer their customers. Rubber roofs often have a life span of 50 years although it is only warranted for 30 years. Most other roofing options have similar warranties but at a higher installation price.
Before you make a decision on the type of roof you want for your Winston-Salem, NC business, be sure to talk to a commercial roofing contractor about rubber roofs. A rubber roof may not be the best answer to your roofing needs, but it is one of the most cost effective roofing options for a flat roof. There is no sense paying more than you have to for a high performance roofing material. Talk to the commercial roofing professionals at Montgomery Contractors about a rubber roof today, and save your company some money!

Humor columnist Dave Barry jokes that he wanted to title his newest book "Dave Barry: I Bet You Thought He Was Dead."
His publisher, however, vetoed that in favor of "You Can Date Boys When You're Forty: Dave Barry on Parenting and Other Topics He Knows Very Little About" (Putnam, $26.95).
The parenting angle comes from the first of the nine essays in the book, in which Barry writes about taking his then-13-year-old daughter, Sophie, to a Justin Bieber concert. But Barry warns readers in the introduction that the book isn't just about parenting. Other essays address such topics as grammar, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" books and Barry's family trip to Israel.
Barry, 66, has written 25 nonfiction books and more than a dozen works of fiction; he has won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary. We reached him by phone at his home in Coral Gables, Fla.:
Q How does Sophie feel about your writing about her? You broadcast the fact that she has pictures of Justin Bieber in her room in what she calls "The Corner of Appreciation" and tried to invite him to her bat mitzvah. Is she mortified?
A I have learned to finesse that. I went through it with my son. We always had a deal, Rob and I: I won't write about him without telling him. I also tell them that, without these stories about them that I'm writing, they would not be going to college.
Q Since you mention Rob, who is now 33 and an investigative reporter for the Wall Street Journal, tell us what differences have you found in parenting girls vs. boys?
A With Sophie, I've never once been to the emergency room. With Rob, he qualified for the "Every Tenth Fracture Is Free" program. He and his friends communicated mostly by putting their lives at risk. Hitting each other, dropping out of trees on each other -- that was how they would interact. Sophie is extremely social. As far as I can tell, she is best friends with every other teenage girl on the planet. ... They all know each other; they're all in constant contact; all of them are one giant organism of teenage girls.
Q What do you think is different about parenting in South Florida and parenting elsewhere?
A I remember taking Rob to New York when he was really tiny, like maybe a couple of weeks old. At one point, I was in Manhattan. It was just me with Rob, no woman around, just a guy with a baby. I got unsolicited advice from women on what I was doing wrong. People would come up to me like, "He should have a hat." I would put a hat on him. They'd go, "Why do you have a hat on? He doesn't need a hat." In South Florida, I don't get any advice from anybody. It's more laid back.
Q What was it like having a second child later in life?
A Most of my friends, when they found out I was going to be a dad again, thought I was out of my mind. I'm not going to accuse my friends of being old. But once their children were out of their lives, they kind of stopped at that point. They didn't have to change anything anymore. When you have a kid again in your 50s, you're totally out of your comfort zone, and you have to readjust. I have to stay way more adaptable.
Q Your kids are about 20 years apart. What was it like raising two different generations?
A It's the best system ever. You have to have more than one marriage to do it -- that's the downside. I recommend it strongly. Neither of them has anything the other one covets. The only thing in common they have is their father.
Q Are you working on any more children's books, a la "Peter and the Starcatchers"?
A I did just finish the day before yesterday another fiction book for YA. It's called "The Worst Class Trip Ever," for Disney. It's about a trip to Washington, D.C. On the plane, they see these two guys, and this group of four kids decides they're bad guys and they have to stop them.
Q You aren't a grandparent yet, right?
A I'm going to be in June.
Q New fodder for a book?
A Oh, my God, yeah. I'm going to use that.
Q Do you know what they're having?
A It's a boy. Good luck to them.

Resources for Bible Study Needed
Latin Mass Desired
Chorbishop? Bishop?
Who was Melchizedek?
Can I Marry a Non-Christian and Remain Catholic?
Q: I am interested in studying the Bible
from the Roman Catholic perspective.
Can you recommend a translation
and a study guide?
Does the Catholic Church object to other
Christian or Jewish materials for Bible
A: Your questions indicate that you
realize how important studying
the Bible is. According to St. Jerome
(345-420), perhaps the most famous
Catholic biblical scholar, "Ignorance
of Scripture is ignorance of Christ."
Although Jesus is God's most perfect
self-revelation, we cannot hope to
understand Jesus apart from the Old
and New Testaments.
Because of their excellent translations,
introductions, footnotes, cross-references and maps, I recommend the
Revised New American Bible (Catholic
Book Publishing Company) or the New
Jerusalem Bible (Doubleday).
The Catholic Study Bible, edited by
Donald Senior, Mary Ann Getty, Carroll
Stuhlmueller and John Collins (Oxford
University Press, 14 maps and more
than 2,000 pages) uses the New American
Bible translation, gives an overview
of each type of biblical writing and provides
an introduction for each book of
the Bible. It also presents several maps
and thematic articles about the Bible.
The Collegeville Bible Commentary,
edited by Dianne Bergant, C.S.A., and
Robert Karris, O.F.M. (Liturgical Press, 33
maps and 1,301 pages), combines the 36
pamphlets originally published as a
series (25 for the Old Testament and
11 for the New Testament). The pamphlets
are also still available. I find the
companion Collegeville Biblical Timeline to be very helpful.
You can order any of these volumes
through the respective publishers or
through www.StFrancisOnline.com or 1-800-241-6392.
Our company publishes over 100
books about Scripture. In view of your
request, I recommend three especially:
Finding Your Bible: A Catholic's Guide,
by Timothy Schehr; The Catholic Bible
Study Handbook: A Popular Introduction
to Studying Scripture, by Jerome Kodell,
O.S.B.; and Pathway to Scripture: A Book-by-
Book Guide to the Spiritual Riches of the
Bible, by Damasus Winzen.
Our monthly newsletter Scripture
From Scratch presents an overview of
biblical books, personalities and themes.
We also publish CDs, audiotapes and
videos on Scripture.
More information about our Scripture
resources is available from http://catalog.AmericanCatholic.org or 1-800-488-0488.
Orthodox, Protestant or Jewish study
guides to the Bible can be helpful, as
long as they respect the fact that the
Bible was given to a faith community
and needs to be understood within that
context. Biblical fundamentalists would
not agree.
May St. Jerome, whose feast day is
celebrated on September 30, help you
to probe and understand more deeply
the biblical texts as God's unique self-revelation.
Latin Mass Desired
Q: Our bishop will not let us have a
Latin Mass even though Pope John
Paul II asked bishops to allow this. I am 74
years old and am about ready to stay
home and pray for the day when this will
be allowed. I used to drive 175 miles for a
Latin Mass but I cannot do that now.
A: Contrary to what some people
think, the Roman Catholic
Church has not outlawed the Latin
Mass. The Novus Ordo Missae, promulgated
by Pope Paul VI in 1969 to take
effect the next year, has been celebrated
in Latin as well as in many other languages.
During Masses in St. Peter's Basilica or Square, the pope usually
prays the Eucharistic Prayer in Latin.
The problem is not the language but
the fact that a few Catholics have denied
the validity of the 1969 Novus Ordo Missae and Pope Paul VI's authority to promulgate
its use. They claim that only the
1570 revision made after the Council of
Trent is valid.
Because of that, in October 1984 when
Pope John Paul II asked the world's bishops
to consider giving permission for the
celebration of the Tridentine Mass, he
stipulated: 1) the group must accept the
authority of the diocesan bishop giving
the permission; 2) the group may
not have ties to those who oppose the
1969 Novus Ordo Missae; and 3) the 1962
Missale Romanum is to be used.
The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter accepts
these conditions; the Society of St.
Pius X, founded by the late Archbishop
Marcel Lefebvre, does not.
The issue here is not the language in
which the Eucharist is celebrated (Jesus
used Aramaic) but rather whether the
worshipers are in communion with the
whole Church, which permits a variety
of languages, or only with people who
regard Latin alone as the acceptable
language for Mass.
If you accept Pope John Paul II's conditions
listed above, you may yet be
able to get your local bishop's permission
for a celebration of the Mass in Latin.
Q: I recently read an article that used the
term "chorbishop," an expression that
I had never encountered. How does a chorbishop
differ from a regular bishop?
A: The Revised New Catholic Encyclopedia explains the term as "the
title given in the Christian East to a
bishop caring for people in the country.
In that sense, he is a bit like an auxiliary
bishop in the Western Church;
both types of bishops work under the
direction of the "local ordinary," the
bishop in charge of a diocese, archdiocese
or equivalent Church jurisdiction.
The first reference to chorbishop is in
the second century; the institution had
pretty well died out by the 12th century.
Today, this office no longer exists in
the Orthodox Churches. It is an honorary
title among Melkite Catholic
priests. The Chaldean and Syrian
Catholic Churches have one chorbishop
per diocese. Maronite Catholic chorbishops
function much as auxiliary
bishops do in the Western Church.
Q: I hear people say that Catholic
priests are ordained "according to
the order of Melchizedek." I know that he
was a priest in the Old Testament, but do
we know anything else about him? Why is
he linked to Catholic priests?
A: Melchizedek, who was both a
king and a priest, first appears in
Genesis 14:18-20, offering bread and
wine in thanksgiving for a military victory
by Abram. This was before God
changed his name to Abraham.
Verse four of Psalm 110 says, "Like
Melchizedek you are a priest forever."
Chapters five, six and seven of the New
Testament's Letter to the Hebrews mention
Melchizedek eight times. The
expression "according to the order of
Melchizedek" appears in 5:6,10; 6:20
and 7:11,17, always referring to Jesus.
The Church applied this to priests, who
are united to Christ through the Sacrament
of Orders.
The names of Melchizedek's parents
are never given. This contrasts with
the Hebrew/Jewish priesthood that was
strictly determined by one's family tree.
After Aaron, Moses' brother, was chosen
by God as high priest, this office
passed from the eldest son to the eldest
son. Other priests were descended from
Aaron's younger sons.
The author of the Letter to the
Hebrews uses Melchizedek to stress continuity
with and yet contrast from the
Old Testament priesthood.
Q: I recently became engaged to someone who is not a Christian. If
I marry this man, can I remain a Catholic? Does the Bible say that
I will go to hell for doing this?
Is God really going to condemn me for falling in love with a non-Christian?
A: Marrying a non-Christian does not mean that you cannot
continue to be a Catholic. You can have your wedding in a
Catholic parish or, with the local bishop's permission, elsewhere.
When one spouse is not baptized, the marriage vows are exchanged
in the context of a prayer service (Scripture readings, hymns, prayers, blessings)
and not a Mass. A separate dispensation from the local bishop is
needed when a Catholic marries an unbaptized person.
A marriage between a Catholic and a non-Christian poses very real
though not insurmountable challenges, especially regarding the religious
upbringing of any children the couple may have.
In our February 2001 issue, I responded to someone who asked a
question similar to yours: "Marriage is the most beautiful, fundamental
and complex human relationship. Facing religious differences now may
strengthen your relationship tremendously—or reveal a problem bound
to arise later. Now is the best time to address this issue."

Why is the seat of a bus stop sloped forwards?
QuestionWhy is the seat of a bus stop sloped forwards? You can't sit on it without sliding off. You may as well not have a seat at all.

Answer** Definitive **
Name: Alex, Richmond
Qualification: Read a TfL interview on it
Answer: It's to stop people sitting on them all day. They were ergonomically-designed for you to rest your bottom on them, but keep your feet on the ground. They were not meant for sitting on to avoid homeless people to sit on or sleep.

|Nonlinear Modal Analysis of Structures with Rigid-End Offsets
|March 31, 2012
|The nonlinear modal analysis (NMA) methodology for analyzing moment-resisting framed structures is here extended to include frame elements with rigid-end offsets. Four keys components of the NMA methodology for conducting dynamic analysis of nonlinear framed structures include: (1) The force analogy method for material nonlinearity; (2) The stability functions for geometric nonlinearity; (3) The state space method for dynamic analysis; and (4) The modal superposition for computational efficiency. Under this NMA methodology, the nonlinear stiffness matrices capturing full panel zone rigidities and centroidal locations of plastic hinges in moment-resisting frames are completely derived in conjunction with satisfying global equilibrium, joint compatibility, and element force-displacement relationship. Nonlinear dynamic analysis of a 10-story steel frame with rigid-end offsets is then performed and results are compared with those obtained using Perform-3D (P3D) commercial software. Good agreement between NMA and P3D results indicate accuracy of the proposed methodology even though it is based on different assumptions.

Uncle Tom's Cabin
by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
This novel is smothered with mothers. Many of the major and minor characters are mothers, including Eliza, Aunt Chloe, Cassy, Mrs. Shelby, Marie St. Clare, Mrs. Bird, and Madame de Thoux. Even spinster Ophelia becomes a surrogate mother to Topsy. We also hear a lot about two deceased mothers, Augustine St. Clare's and Simon Legree's. Stowe herself was a mother who was partly inspired to write about slavery because of the death of a son. And many of Stowe's readers – many readers of any 19th century sentimental novel – would have been white northern women, most of whom were mothers. So what's with all the mothering?
To understand Stowe's emphasis on maternal affection, we have to look at slavery as a patriarchal institution. In the South in the 19th century, slave owners were thought of as the fathers of their household of slaves, the patriarchs in charge of caring for a plantation-full of childlike servants. If this sounds patronizing, IT IS!
Think of all the times St. Clare calls Tom "boy," despite the fact that Tom is the older man. Not only is it insulting to treat slaves like children, acting as though the master-slave relationship is a father-child relationship whitewashes it into something positive or productive. Even when Stowe imagines slaves being liberated, she still relies on the paternal care that their former masters will take to educate them for the world. Paternalism here is a source of affection, but it's also patronizing and demeaning – and a way of maintaining control.
In response to the patriarchal system of southern slavery, Stowe sets up a network of motherly affection. The Christian benevolence and selfless passion of a mother like Eliza becomes more powerful than the malice and cruelty of men like Tom Loker. And Stowe suggests that, if white northern mothers really understand the way that slavery separates black families, they'll use their influence to support the cause of abolition. If St. Clare's mother hadn't died when he was little, we sense that he might have had a more active conscience. If Simon Legree had yielded to his mother's pleadings, he wouldn't be so corrupted. Mothers are the answer.

NEW DELHI: Select Millgate sugar prices declined on the sugar market on Monday following increased selling by millers' coupled with sufficient stocks and closed with fresh losses.
The volume of business was moderate.
Marketmen said increased selling pressure from millers and sluggish demand mainly pulled down millgate prices.
In the mill gate section, Sakoti and Bijnor declined from Rs.1110 and Rs.1120 to close at Rs.1105 and Rs.1115 per quintal respectively.

The markets had a lot of volatility last week. The week opened on a negative note as the markets around the world faced a huge sell-off triggered by negative sentiments in the Chinese markets. The key indices here lost almost four percent. The markets remained in a roller-coaster mode for the remaining part of the week on concerns of them being over-heated.
Analysts believe there is a positive undertone in the markets and investors should use the corrections as buying opportunities, and pick up stocks of fundamentally well-placed companies. The concerns on the progress of the monsoons aggravated during the week and the prices of essential commodities touched new highs.

Investigators are baffled after monitors at Anniston Army Depot detected a small amount of lethal VX nerve agent.
Officials say the agent didn't appear to come from a storage bunker or the Army's chemical weapons incinerator.
The Army says the VX agent wasn't detected by monitors designed to immediately pick up traces of deadly chemicals and warn the surrounding community.
Instead, the only equipment to record the agent's presence Monday was located four miles from the depot's storage bunkers.
Officials said the recording noted only a small amount of VX and it's unclear whether the leak happened Monday or much earlier.
Military officials also said that a separate, small leak of sarin nerve gas wasn't related to operations at the incinerator.
Trace amounts of the deadly gas escaped from an isolated weapons
storage bunker Tuesday at Anniston Army Depot.
Officials said no one was injured and the public was NOT at risk.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Well here we go.
I didn't do any "pre" workouts in the weeks leading up to yesterday, I decided to see if I could go completely from couch potato to running a 6K in 8 weeks. Maybe a bad idea but it will give me a good idea of what I can accomplish in 8 weeks. (Or just how goofy I am for not ramping up).
Monday I started the running program that Jenny recommended. I woke up at 5:00 and headed for the YMCA. I've determined with 4 kids and a busy job, if I don't do this first thing it might not get done. To my surprise there were lots of other people at the Y at 5:00 in the morning, who would have guessed. I forgot my head phones so I put the little TV on the treadmill on subtitles and set the clock for 30 minutes. I wanted to run for 20 minutes but knew I couldn't do that straight so I walked for 3 minutes and then ran for 5 minutes then walked for 3 minutes then ran again. When I got finished I had run for 20 minutes total and walked for the other 10. I covered right at 2 miles.
It's still cold in Tennessee so when the weather gets nicer I've found a couple of running trails through some neighborhoods close to my house, so I can start getting out more and breathing the fresh air. I wonder if there is a way to watch TV like you do on the treadmill and still run outside? This would be a good invention to work on.
I also bought some aerobic dvds for days I wake up late and can't make it to the gym or if it is raining outside. Figured a good back up plan will keep me from skipping.
Today was my first cross training day. I'm trying the Body for Life system for the cross training and the diet. Wouldn't you know on the first day of cross training I woke up late. Luckily I had a back plan for this also. I had bought two resistance bands a while back. One is long and you can attach it to a door and do all kinds of shoulder exercises, curls, presses, and flies. The other band goes around your ankles and allows you hip flexor, leg curls, and extensions. I did 10 exercises and it lasted for about 30 minutes. Not the hardest workout, but a good first step. I'm sore in several of my muscle groups right now.
Food wise I'm trying to eat 6 small meals a day containing a healthy protein, a "good" carbohydrate and some veggies thrown in on a couple of the meals. After a day and a half, I'm doing okay but I know the test will come this weekend.
I'll be running again tomorrow at 5 am. I'll try 7 minutes running and 2 minutes of walking and see how I do.
I started at 253 lbs Monday morning and I'll blog on what my weight is next Monday.

'The Hunger Games' Wraps Filming
It seems the odds are ever in "The Hunger Games" favor.
Principal photography on the film adaptation of the Suzanne Collins book of the same name is complete. Filmed entirely in North Carolina, the 84-day shoot began on May 23. The film is due in theaters on March 23, 2012.
The film stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson in the lead roles, with Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland and Wes Bentley rounding out the cast.
Lionsgate acquired film rights to the Collins trilogy in the beginning of 2009 before the book had sold 500,00 copies. To date, the trilogy has sold more than 12 million print copies.
"The Hunger Games" revolves around Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) who competes in the titular fight-to-the-death games that are nationally televised.

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says an Oklahoma paving company has been fined for doing work in North Dakota without a contractor's license.
Stenehjem says company owner Sylvester Cooper of Spiro, Oklahoma, was fined $5,000 and ordered to repay $5,000 to a customer.
Stenehjem says Spiro has now obtained his contractor's license.
Stenehjem says North Dakota gets an influx of paving companies that come to the state every summer looking for work. He says some are reputable companies but "many are fly-by-night operators who target rural communities, do poor quality work, and then flee the state before the complaints come in."

Alliance leader David Ford has confirmed that he is poised to resign his Council seat to devote his energies to his new role as Northern Ireland Justice Minister.
With new legislation opening the door for co-option of new members rather than a costly by-election - and one that Alliance would struggle to win at that - all eyes will be on the newcomer joining the chamber.

A new blueprint for overseeing controversial parades in Northern Ireland hopes to avoid future violence by encouraging rival groups to talk to each other. First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness unveiled proposals for a new system to replace the current Parades Commission. The plans, including a new focus on encouraging dialogue, have been drawn-up under the terms of the Hillsborough Castle Agreement brokered to stabilize the power-sharing government at Stormont.

A family drove across England the weekend before last carrying the remains of their father in a heroic attempt to fulfill his dying wish to be buried in his native Carlow.
The remains of Richard Anthony (Dick) Kinsella, formerly of St Mary's Park, Carlow, were left stranded in Birmingham Airport on Friday night last, when air travel across Europe ground to a halt due to volcanic ash. His daughters Beth and Anna courageously decided to drive the remains of their dad back to Carlow themselves Saturday before last, taking on a six-hour drive across England to the ferry at Holyhead.

More than €1.3m will be spent on various education projects including a new school for Laragh, a major extension for Virginia College and smaller projects at 31 schools in the county under the Summer Works Scheme. Meanwhile, funding of €7.5 was sanctioned for the completion of the new inner-relief road for Ballyconnell, which has now gone to tender. Also, almost €2m was announced for Co. Cavan under the Rural Water Program. This money will be spent on upgrading group water schemes and modernizing small public water and sewerage schemes.

A fledgling water company in Lissycasey is tapping into a lucrative market on the continent after securing an annual contract to supply 14 million bottles of natural spring water to a major European airline. Last week, the first consignment of biodegradable and compostable bottles, the first of their kind in Ireland and produced by Clare Spring Water Limited at its €4.2 million plant, was transported to Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam.
While Clare Spring, located on High Street, has signed a confidentiality clause with the European company concerning some aspects of the deal, the new export contract is regarded as a major coup for the company, which is less than a year in operation. Up to 84,000 biodegradable bottles can be produced by the plant daily in full production.
Management from the European airline, which prides itself on being environmentally friendly, visited Clare Spring recently and conducted a thorough examination of the water production facilities before committing to the lucrative deal.

Dissident republicans based in the border areas of south Armagh and north Louth are delivering ready-made bombs to Belfast for spectacular attacks on big targets – including Palace Barracks and Policing Board Headquarters.

Dublin Bus has revealed plans for a radical overhaul of its services with major re-routing and one in 12 buses being taken off the road within months. Up to 150 bus drivers will also be made redundant under the scheme, which will start in July. But despite the reduction on buses, a company spokesperson insisted it would not result in delays for passengers. Dublin Bus is promising buses every 10 minutes, or less, on most services during peak demand times. The company insists it will provide more frequent services with fewer buses by avoiding congestion. The new plan, the most in-depth review of Dublin's bus network ever undertaken, will result in savings of €12m a year to the company.

White River B6
August 29, 2011
White River B6 is the unit we actually ended up staying it. The other ones weren't available. There were two couples in our group. We had a wonderful weekend which included a river rafting trip, Bar-J Wranglers dinner and show, Antique Show, hang gliders, Jenny's Lake boat ride and hiking to Hidden Falls, shopping and the most exciting of all was the 3 deer eating outside our window one morning and a young moose the next morning. The unit was wonderful, complete with everything we could want. The one odd thing was the wiring. I couldn't believe how many extension cords there were. I kept asking my husband (retired-fireman) if we were safe. We made it through the weekend safe and sound. I felt like we got a good deal, considering that ALL the hotels were more expensive than what we paid per night. We will definately use this service again (I saw that you dealt with property in Europe) I was excited at that idea.

Great location!!!
July 4, 2011
Bedrooms clumsy. furniture was not comfortable to sit in. Dining arrangements were awkward. No A/C which was weird for us. would have liked to have BBQ available and better more comfortable outdoor furniture to use. nice furnishings and the house was nice and gave a great cabin feeling. Appliances, bedding, dishes, towels and other things were great. no place for trash can in kitchen. Great view. hot tub was nice addition. Place was very clean. Lots of bathrooms and showers available. boot dryer was nice. would recommend to friends and family. this says 7th night free???? We didn't have that option for our stay. Why not?
What a beautiful home in a magical place. DW, Calif

Definition of prognathous in English:
1(Especially of a person) having a projecting lower jaw or chin.
1.1(Of a jaw or chin) projecting.
Example sentences

- Enlarged as though in a magnifying mirror, the abundant follicles sprout gut-string stubble as a gentle sleeping smile winks above the prognathous jaw.
1.2(Of an insect) having projecting mouthparts.
- Example sentences
- The facial profile was categorized as retrognathic, neutral, or prognathic.
- Below the orbits, the face is more prognathic - the nose and jaw protrude farther in front of the braincase - than a human face.
- Example sentences
- The new skull has a rather unusual combination of features: a flat face, high cheek bones, moderate prognathism, small molars, and it lacks a depression behind the brow ridge.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Bruce McElmurray
More on mountain homesteading at www.brucecarolcabin.blogspot.com, Bruce McElmurray
How many times have you said to yourself, I'll get to that tomorrow? When you live in the mountains at 9,750' those words are not part of your vocabulary. To put off or procrastinate is a sure way to really confound your schedule and projects. As can be seen in the photo, those projects planned for today are reluctantly out of the question. I had planned to cut some fire wood that I brought down yesterday. The photos clearly indicate the contrast in weather. I was also going to gather a few small flat rocks that are all over out property to finish some area's in our rock siding. Clearly both projects are now out of the question with 4" of fresh snow on the ground. It will not last long but when it melts away the ground will be muddy and not suitable to work outside in. To live in the mountains you must be flexible and prepared for change. More specifically you need to be prepared for the unexpected. That probably applies to most places equally and not just here where we live. We have been receiving regular snow fall which we consider good for the moisture value. I put my garden in on a beautiful day and the next day we had several inches of fresh snow. I had planned to get more firewood cut and today more snow. Planning ahead is a good thing to do, but being flexible is equally important. We can get snow well into summer. It is rare, but not totally unheard of when you live where we do. Just a little mountain man philosophy to share with you. We can't control the weather and most other factors but we can control how we deal with it. So today instead of cutting firewood I'm sitting here at the computer doing a blog to share with readers. Tomorrow will be another day and maybe tomorrow I'll get that firewood done. It really won't matter much because where we live winter is not over yet so to plan for next winter this far ahead is wishful thinking anyway.

Citation: Cheung, A.K., Lager, K.M., Kohutyuk, O.I., Vincent, A.L., Henry, S.C., Baker, R.B., Rowland, R.R., Dunham, A.G. 2007. Detection of two porcine circovirus type 2 genotypic groups in United States swine herds. Archives of Virology. 152(5):1035-1044. Interpretive Summary: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a newly emerged viral pathogen of swine. While clinical signs of disease and postmortem lesions induced by PCV2 are known, there is little information on the temporal pathogenesis and epidemiology of the virus. Previous phylogenetic analyses have shown that PCV2 can be separated into two subtype viruses: the "North American" PCV-2a and the "European" PCV-2b. Whereas only PCV-2a subtype viruses have been reported in North America, both PCV-2a and PCV-2b subtype viruses have been reported in Europe and in Asia. This is the first report describing the presence of PCV-2b viruses in swine herds of North Carolina, Kansas, and Iowa affected with the newly coined "severe form of PMWS." The significance of the PCV-2b viruses circulating in U.S. swine remains to be elucidated.
Technical Abstract: In late 2005, sporadic cases of an acute onset disease of high mortality were observed in 10- to 16-week-old growing pigs among several swine herds of the United States. Tissues from the affected pigs in Kansas, Iowa, and North Carolina were examined and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) was detected consistently among these tissues. Phylogenetically, PCV2 can be divided into two major genotypic groups, PCV2-group 1 and PCV2-group 2. Whereas PCV2-group 1 isolates were detected in all the diseased animals, only two of the diseased animals harbored PCV2-group 2 isolates. This observation is important because PCV2-group 1 isolates had never been reported in the United States before (GenBank as of May 16, 2006) and they are closely related to the PCV2-group 1 isolates that have been described in Europe and Asia, previously. Our analysis revealed that each genotypic group contains a distinct stretch of nucleotide or amino acid sequence that may serve as a signature motif for PCV2-group 1 or PCV2-group 2 isolates.
