Northern Kentucky counties get new tornado sirenUPDATED 6:52 PM EDT Oct 23, 2013
Almost two years after an EF-4 tornado, several Northern Kentucky communities have a new tornado siren.Video Transcript
DESTROYED... AND MORE THAN 250 DAMAGED. NEARLY TWO YEARS AFTER AN "E-F FOUR" TORNADO RIPPED THROUGH PINER, KENTUCKY... THE CITY IS DEDICATING A WARNING SIREN TO THE VICTIMS OF THAT MARCH 2ND DISASTER. WL-WT'S ERIK ZARNITZ.... IS LEADING THE WAY... WITH THE SPECIAL CERMONY IN KENTON COUNTY. (Erik Zarnitz: This walk way used to lead up to a home but because of the Piner / Crittenden tornado all that is left debris however now step are being taken so that these residents will have more warning the next time a tornado moves through.) MARCH 2ND 2012... AN EF4 TORNADO WITH WINDS UP TO 175 MILES PER HOUR KILLED 4 AND INJURED 8. (Bill Schneider: With the weather forecasts we all knew that something bad was coming, just wasn't exactly sure when and where.) BILL SCHNEIDER AND HIS FAMILY WERE LUCKY, COMING THROUGH IT RELATIVELY UNSCATHED AND NOW, LOOKING BACK .. HE'S THANKFUL. (Bill Schneider: Everybody wanted to help, Everybody wanted to help and my goodness what a great testimony to the Tristate area quite frankly because folks came here from everywhere. It was a good thing.) AND MORE HELP IS COMING TODAY PEOPLE IN PENDLETON COUNTY DEDICATED THEIR 35TH WARNING SIREN. IT'S RIGHT OUTSIDE PINER.. AND WHILE THE LOCATION SEEMS RANDOM WAS PICKED WITH A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. (Kathy Stephens: Based on the geography of the land and where the siren is located and the hillsides next to it, the hillsides help the echo so that the siren can be heard at a longer distance and a further pace than what you would expect.) THIS SIREN WAS PLACED SO THAT PINER, FISKBURG, AND BUTLER CAN HEAR IT. (Bill Schneider: That communication was key and will be key if we have to go through something like that again and that is a good feeling.) (Erik Zarnitz: Sirens like this are really meant to warn people who are outside, however if you're inside and you happen to hear the siren, of course that's just one more layer of protection. Reporting from Piner, Kentucky Erik Zarnitz WLWT News Five.) IF YOUR MORNING COMMUTE WAS A

Theyve got a fridge with a number of bottles but many of them are there by accident, I think. Some of the beers are good for a supermarket, but not for drinking by beer lovers. Despite this, there are some good choices too but in the minority. Mostly Polish regional breweries, some Ukrainian. You will be served beer to drink it straight from the bottle. The decor is hm... non existent. "How to open a bar with 1000 PLN" could be a TV program filmed in Male Piwo. Music is poor. But the worst of all is the crazy prices making this one of the more expensive bars in Warsaw. Location is good, just off Marszalkowska street. Overall, this is a place to go only if youre really in the area and cant wait another 5 minutes to have a beer elsewhere and money/quality ratios are something absent from your mind.
purc (48) , Poland | December 5, 2013
I have no idea why so miserable a place has no 1 rating in Warsaw . Stay away from this ludicrous shop-cum-bar with exorbitant prices and no beer on tap dive.
FatPhil (490) Tallinn, Estonia | August 18, 2013
Tiny place, tucked down a side street parallel to one of the main arterial roads, and isolated from the noise. A bit too compact - sit up and beg at the front, or chose to shut yourself in the cupboard at the back. Staff were friendly, and happy to assist. Range was easily 80-100 brews, from many dozens of the new breweries in Poland. Covers all the style bases, from Berliner Weise to Imperial stout. Very little foreign, but why would you waste time with that. Prices good - cheaper than Estonia, Im sure. They sell to take home too - yay! Must revisit this place.
visionthing (508) Tallinn, Estonia | May 13, 2013
Nice and small bar off the beaten track. Just a little bit south of the city center bur easy reachable by foot, metro (Politechnika) or tram (Zbawiciela). Bright and minimalistic interior but nice atmosphere.Surprisingly calm and quiet on an early Friday evening. Friendly and helpful staff and a nice selection of Polish beer.
sahm83 (1) Amager, Copenhagen, Denmark | April 3, 2013
Small beer bar with a Berlin vibe to it. A bit out of center so no tourist just locals. The selection of polish beer was good. Only bottle beers no drafts. A bit hard to find.
rauchbierlover (139) Berlin, Germany | November 16, 2012
I love this site because everywhere I go I can find some good suggestion on where to go drink micro. Male Piwo is a very nice bar, with friendly helpful staff and a huge selection of only polish micro. I counted 75 different beers inside the two fridge. Cosy and relaxed ambiance. Not a pub, rather a small bar where you can enjoy some good beer. Highly recommended
Cunningham (665) Halden, Norway | October 16, 2012| Updated December 13, 2012
WoW. Unfortunately I found this place the last evening on my visit in Warszawa. Located a bit outside the mainstream tourist places. You will probably not find it unless you take a Taxi the first time. But it will not cost a lot, and it is definately wort it. I wonder how the two guys from US found this place. Nice small cafe/pub with a great selection of polish ale. After a while you will get really bored with all the Jasny Pelne and Mocne stuff. Not a single one of them inside this gem. Had a wonderful IPA here :-) Im going back! Friendly helpfull staff that new something about the beers they served!

Okay... I'll admit it. I do get passionate about homes. I don't care what your income level is, for most people your home is your largest investment. But it goes beyond that. A person's home is the place where one rightfully expects to find some peace regardless of whether you rent or own. So for me... rating apartments is not a trivial matter. I've been burned by bad landlords and scammed by unscrupulous vacation timeshare sales, and hopefully I can help others avoid those pitfalls.
My name is Greg Cox. I founded The LemonClub.com, Inc. in 1998 after getting fed up with nightmare landlords. I have rented for over 20 years. During that time I have been apartment hunting in 17 cities from the state of California to the Carolinas. I have rented in 9 states and worked for 13 different companies.
During my work at SouthMark Corporation in Dallas, I was responsible for programming the data communications that polled over 500 apartment properties. I took that data and compiled accounting reports for the CFO and statistical reports for the property managers. Now, I'm using that knowledge to report directly to the consumer via this web site. This experience, in addition to collecting apartment ratings from tenants, running a discussion forum, and being a licensed real estate agent, has given me a unique perspective into the business of apartment hunting, relocating, and job searches.
Unsuspecting consumers have unknowingly moved into homes where toxic ground water problems have caused illness, or sink holes have caused chimneys to literally fall apart, and some have discovered bombs in their backyard because it was once a bombing range for the military. So the best person to ask about the apartment or home that you want to rent is NOT the person who is trying to profit from it. One of the best things you can do is to talk with someone who has already rented that property. The same logic applies to interviewing and job hunting. So a major part of our mission is to help you make the right connections that will lead to the right decisions.
The LemonClub is not involved with renting any properties nor affiliated with any property management company.

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
By Karen Keb
Real Food, Karen Keb
My daily ritual while working indoors on writing and cooking is to take a lunch break, just like other working people. When I do sit down for lunch I always turn on the Cooking Channel (a perk to working at home), usually promptly at 1 p.m. to watch an old episode of Julia Child.
Last week, I happened to catch "Chuck's Day Off" about a professional chef in Canada somewhere (as best I reckon based on his accent), and what he likes to cook for friends on his day off. I don't know if I was suffering from cravings or what, but everything the guy made just called my name. The episode was all about cooking with beer and he demonstrated beer-battered fish and chips with homemade tartar sauce (from homemade mayonnaise!). But what made me run to the kitchen was his Chocolate Stout Cakes. When I got there, I didn't have any artisan bread handy, so I had to start it, then make the bread and the cake the next day. See my recipe and instructions for the bread here.Here's what I came up with based on his show:
Double Chocolate Stout Cake
1 1/2 cups Double Chocolate Stout beer (I used Young's)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar or sucanat
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or extract)
4 cups artisan white bread with crust, cubed into 1-inch pieces
Pour the beer, cream, and sugar into a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips, stirring until melted. Set aside and let cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish and set aside.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla together in a large bowl. One ladleful at a time, add the warm chocolate mixture, whisking well after each addition. Add the bread crumbs and mix well to coat.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon sugar over the top.
Bake for 55 minutes, until the custard is set and bubbling. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with slightly whipped cream over the top.
(Slightly) Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Dash of vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
Put all ingredients in a bowl and whisk by hand until slightly thickened (not whipped, still a little runny). Pour over cake.
The cake was utterly perfect ... the crunchy crust of the bread, coated with a little sugar ... the essence of the chocolate stout coming through the chocolate ... and the luxury of the cream combined to make a dessert for the record books. Leftovers served cold the next day were almost better. Everyone will love this dish!

d 7K and SB 700
I have a D7000 and a Nikon SB 700 flash I have a great grasp of exposure settings in S A and M with ambient light both indoors and out i use mostly manual setting so hear is my dilemma Im just getting into flash:
Cam is set to Manual
I set my flash at TTL then i set my desired aperture then use my meter to check on the speed setting .... so how do i determine this if using flash ???
it seems to me the camera's meter is telling me the correct exposure without flash ??? what am i missing here or do i set my exposure just the same way ?? if i turn the flash on or off the meter says the same thing. I know flash is a whole different world but just trying to get some basics started here

It all seems complicated until you realize that there are two metering systems, the one in the camera that in Matrix, considers the entire scene with emphasis on the area of the selected focal point. The second independent metering is in the flash.
When you meter there is no illumination other than the ambient to that is reflected in the readout. Taking the photo without flash will be exposed normally, based on the ambient light. So if there is enough light without flash, and the shutter and aperture are set for the reading, turning on the flash will only add light above the level the meter reported and result in overexposure. If you metered and adjusted the exposure settings to some underexposure level, say 3 stops under exposed, the TTL flash will make up the difference, adding that 3 stops.
So for normal non-backlit scene, you can control the relative scene to subject exposure by adjusting the camera exposure for the degree of scene or background exposure you seek and let the TTL flash determine the subject exposure. Underexposing more according to the meter means the background will be underexposed by the same amount, darkened, below the exposure level calculated by the flash for the subject. Setting the exposure of the overall scene close to, but lower than normal exposure will mean the background and subject will be close to each other in illumination.
There are many scenes that the subject is reflecting less light than the ambient, at night or day, almost any ambient conditions can have the scene brighter than the subject due to position, a shadow on the subject etc. That is a case for TTL BL Balanced mode on the flash. Ambient is still metered as before for the whole scene and if the shot is taken the scene would be properly exposed, but the subject is darker, a typical backlight situation, for example the subject at the beach at sundown. Taking that shot without flash means well exposed beach and setting sun but a dark subject whose back is to the source of light. Exposing for the scene is handled by the camera meter as normally the case but the TTL BL metering of the flash, the flash tries to illuminate the subject to equal the scene illumination. The two metering systems treat the scene and subject independently with the flash concerned with the subject.
Flash in a low lit scene is easier than most other exposure means using Manual. Set the camera exposure for the optimum for DOF of your preference, and shutter speed based on knowing the fast pulse of light will freeze motion(but is subject to ghosting if ambient it higher) and let the Flash calculate the correct light level to expose the subject properly. A dark restaurant or party for example could be set in Manual, 1/80 ISO200 and f/4.0 and leave it that way all night, letting the flash in TTL calculate and properly expose the subjects.
If the lights come on and metering shows good exposure is possible you have two choices, decrease exposure by the degree you want to bias the exposure to the subject instead of background, or turn off the flash.
When using flash, turn off Auto-ISO and use manual whenever possible.
It all makes sense once you think of there being two independent metering systems with two different focuses of attention.
If there is enough light to get proper exposure according to the meter, using any flash at all will add to the already suitable ambient lighting so overexposure will result. The exception is if the subject is darker than ambient, then switch the flash to TT BL and expose the scene normally as if the subject was not darker, allowing the flash to fill in and balance background and subject illumination.
Note that some strong backlight and very dark subject can't be balanced by a flash. The strong sunset light versus a subject far from the flash is an example where BL is not going to generate enough light. Studio strobes would be used to try to "overpower" the sun. For flash photography you can just move closer to the subject to greatly increase the illumination of the subject.
Once these points are second nature then you can start considering creative control of background versus subject by calculating the degree of under exposure or flash fall off to get very dark background even in a normally lit room. Flash becomes a lot of fun once some basics are really understood.

thanks Stan I have hear prior to your post about exposing 2-3 stops lower which has helped me already Also been starting to rea
d Russ McDonalds blog and Strobist 101 I have the SB 700 which only has a TTL setting I believe the metering setting on the cam determines TTL for fill or TTLBulb ill have to delve into this further
I think its
Spot metering = full flash TTL
Matrix and Center weight meter = fill flash TTLBL

Balanced fill only works in Matrix metering since the meter needs to determine the overall scene illumination, which it can't do in spot or center weighted. The flash also needs to be in TTL BL mode. Stepping through the modes and TTL BL will be an option if the flash is mounted on the shoe and it is in Matrix.
2-3 Stops in TTL mode is a good way to ensure that the subject will be illuminated normally by the flash's metering but the background will be darker. How much darker? Well that will be the 2-3 stops lower but with the addition of flash light that falls on background elements near the focal plane of the subject. A receded background will potentially look 2-3 stops under exposed. A background closer to the subject will be some level between the flash level on the subject and the ambient 2-3 stops down.
The more the flash has to make up for the low ambient the more power it will generate so if shooting an event that will require hundreds of shots, increasing the exposure due to ambient will mean lower flash power is generated. Based on the discussion above, you would also expect the background would be more illuminated by ambient light as well.
It is easy to experiment buy getting a wig styling dummy head for $5 from a beauty supply shop and set it in the middle of a darkened room. It is a lot more patience for experiments than a human model. That way you can leisurely explore flash, fill, bounce, apparent size of the light source. When you see the difference with good bounce technique(which is rarely used by hobbyists, usually we see people using bounce from ceilings bounce point mid way between the photographer and subject which creates rather unflattering shadows and raccoon eyes, or using a bounce card as the main light source.)Trying some of the methods described on blogs is a good way to separate the wheat from the chaff of lighting technique.
This thread is more about flash than D7000 so we might move it to the flash forum.

Very True Stan My wife refuse to sit for me anymore !! If the moderator agrees please move to the Flash section. I posted hear so it would relate to my specific cam. I have read Russ McDonalds blogs from Nikonians and Strobist 101 , as well as some info from Niel Van Niekirk which has really opened my eyes to a better understanding of how the 2 exposure systems work !!! in just this short time i have made a bit of improvement due to this understanding. now .... practice practice practice

TALLAHASSEE - The House Education Committee is ready to roll out a bill that would upgrade the health, safety and teaching standards of Florida's early learning programs.
Children's advocates are mostly satisfied with changes they requested to serve more children, while providers are seeking a few more tweaks.
"We've spoken to just about everybody in the state of Florida," said committee Chairwoman Maureen O'Toole, R-Lady Lake. "There isn't anybody left."
As the panel held a last workshop on the bill this week, O'Toole said it was part of a multi-year effort to improve the quality of Florida's voluntary pre-kindergarten and school-readiness programs. O'Toole's committee will take up the bill Thursday.
Last year, O'Toole spearheaded the passage of a major early learning bill (HB 7165) after several failed attempts. It moved the state Office of Early Learning to the Department of Education and increased accountability for the spending by early learning programs.
That set the stage for this year, with O'Toole focused on establishing standards for a wide range of providers. Florida has just under 10,000 school-readiness programs and about 6,400 voluntary pre-kindergarten programs, including public and private schools and licensed and unlicensed providers.
The committee spent months on the bill, learning that the health and safety standards for each provider type vary widely, as does the degree to which minimum levels are inspected and enforced. The panel also learned that the process for sanctioning providers makes eliminating the bad actors slow and difficult.
So this year's bill would license private providers in the school-readiness program, which provides subsidized child care to the children of low-income working Floridians. In cases where faith-based or other providers are exempt from licensing, they must agree to comply with the state's child-care licensing standards and submit to inspections by the Department of Children and Families or a local licensing agency.
The bill would also require providers to notify parents of health and safety violations and to post citations that result in disciplinary action prominently on the premises. Providers with Class I violations - actions that could hurt or even kill a child, such as leaving someone in a hot school bus for hours - within the previous year could be ineligible for the school-readiness program unless certain requirements are met.
Former Republican state Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff, executive director of the Florida Association for Child Care Management, said providers support most of the intent of the bill, but they're seeking "a couple of massages" - including one on notifying parents about health and safety violations.
"We generally support the concept of notification," Bogdanoff said. "The good providers will do what they're supposed to do, but how do you verify that notice was given and what is the penalty for non-compliance? We will continue to work to improve this section."
Bogdanoff, who represents about 1,200 members, called for a database to track early-learning teachers. Usually the culpable party in a Class 1 violation is a teacher, she said, but the provider gets the violation and the teacher gets fired or moves on to another school.
"The provider gets left holding the bag," said Bogdanoff, who wants the state to give private providers data about teachers who are disciplined, as it does with doctors and lawyers. "If we can put drugs in a database, we can put teachers in a database."
Children's advocates thanked O'Toole for accepting changes they'd recommended, such as expanding early-learning participation to the youngest children with disabilities.
Most important, said Brittany Birken, executive director of the Florida Children's Council, were changes to the Rilya Wilson Act, which was passed after a 4-year-old disappeared from foster care in 2000.
The act mandates that children from 3 years old to school age who are at risk of abuse and neglect be enrolled in an early-education or day-care program. The change that Birken and others sought in this year's bill would extend that to include children younger than 3.
"That was an important loophole that existed in law, and we appreciate you closing it," Birken told the panel.
O'Toole also said she would be examining rules and regulations governing the early-learning programs, some of which hadn't been re-examined for decades.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, said this week he was happy to see Gov. Rick Scott's budget recommendations for early learning, but wasn't sure how much the House would allocate for the programs.
"There's been a tremendous amount of data and science that has shown that investing in early childhood education pays huge dividends to your state," Weatherford said. "Particularly in the last 10 years, the data that has come back has been pretty overwhelming."
Scott's recommendations include a one-time $30 million boost to the school readiness programs, which served 223,000 children last year. Florida has long had a waiting list for the school readiness programs, which haven't had a significant funding increase in a decade. Best estimates are that 60,000 to 70,000 children are waiting for a place.
Scott is also calling for an increase in per-pupil spending for the voluntary pre-kindergarten program, in which more than 174,000 children are enrolled. Currently the state spends $2,383 per child; Scott has asked for an increase to $2,483 per child, or $929,000 overall. The national average was $3,841 in 2012, according to the National Institute for Early Education Research.
Weatherford called early learning a way to give Florida children an equal opportunity.

Out against Nadal
The clash of the titans at Indian Wells turned out to be a non event – unfortunately with our Roger on the losing side against Rafa Nadal 4-6, 2-6. Our Champ – always the gentleman – refused to blame the problem with his back saying: "I'm happy to be out there and able to compete, but it's obviously a small issue," he said. "That doesn't work against guys like Rafa". He added, "you could see at least I could serve full basically, and that always gives you a direction". He also said that he didn't want to talk about his back too much "because I don't like to undermine his performance, either". Rafa was just as magnanimous in victory saying "if I think that I am better than him because I beat him 19 against 10, I will be very stupid and very arrogant," he said. "This is not the case."
Roger had a miserable match against his old foe with only a slight glimmer of hope in the second set to get to 2-3 from 0-3 but Nadal took the remaining games in the set to win the match. It has to be said to Roger's immense credit that he continued to play when obviously hampered by injury. There are a lot of players who would have retired rather than battling on never mind fashioning a break so early in the second set.
Next up will be the Mutua Madrid Open in May.
alll the best
love ya
Have a good anniversary Roger and Mirka!
Let me at the tickets!
Thanks Roger, I am so excited to be travelling to Basel. You mean the world to all of us. Love you more than Life. xoxo
That's such a great news for me & for all us fans.I will be travelling all the way to Basel from Argentina. Love you a lot.
I miss you terribly. Hope you are well and ready to beat some BIG M..... Go Roger!! YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT !!
God bless

Live webcam on this 18 hole golf course with elegant, colonial-style Clubhouse and sweeping views across the deep blue Caribbean Sea.
More about this webcam location:
Live webcam in Barbados showing the Royal Westmoreland championship 18 hole golf course.
Royal Westmoreland is an exclusive estate and country club on the island of Barbados; a gated community of luxury homes and holiday villas with outstanding facilities which include the world-class Royal Westmoreland championship 18 hole golf course.
Established in the mid 1990s, Royal Westmoreland set a new standard as the first in the new style of villa community away from the developments of the island's famous West Coast. It still maintains its position as the most private and exclusive Barbados villa community.
Golf doesn't get much better than at Royal Westmoreland's world-class 18-hole championship golf course - a 6,870 yard par 72 course of unrivalled beauty, with views of the shimmering ocean from every hole, and a layout to test every club in your bag.
US Masters Champion Ian Woosnam - a homeowner at Royal Westmoreland - says the par 3s are some of the best he's played anywhere in the world. Bunkers abound, but considerable use has been made of the natural environment, with the 5th and 6th holes using an old coralstone quarry, and the 12th par 3 challenging the lowest of handicaps with its tight green bordering a ravine. Each hole has several tees to accommodate every level of play.

Oh, my! It feels SO GOOD to be back as your humble blogger. Technology is wonderful when it works and when it doesn't–well, let's just say it can interrupt the flow of life!
Things have been happening at breakneck speed while the blog was quiet...we have so many new members to welcome and thank! We are working feverishly on an offline cooking class and recipes have been pouring in! WE LOVE IT ALL!
That we have so many fresh new faces around the Club House tells me that a need is being met. People who use EBT cards from WIC or SNAP are getting some valuable assistance; those who have food from commodities or a food pantry are looking for help in creating interesting, low cost dishes for their families and those who are frugal by nature are coming to share ideas and offer their wisdom. It is so wonderful to have all these souls coming together for a common cause! Thanks, EVERYONE.
The Normanator and I are extremely grateful for Angel Food Ministries. We feel that we are doubling our food budget dollars by using this valuable service that is open to EVERYONE, regardless of your situation. They also welcome those EBT cards from SNAP and you can order online. Point, click, save!
Before we were so rudely interrupted by electronic glitches we were on a rant about BEANS. While we were down a wonderful recipe arrived at the Club House door by one of our most faithful charter members and I want to share it here. I am warning you: IT IS DELISH!
Pork and Bean Cake
Yes, pork and beans; that is not a misprint! ~Mother Connie
1 15 oz can pork and beans
1 8 oz can crushed pineapple, juice and all
Beat well until beans are pureed.
Add 2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat well for 2 minutes
Add 2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Beat well. Pour into large UNGREASED jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes.
When cool frost with this mixture:
1 6 oz pkge cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
4 cups powdered sugar
The finished product will remind you of spice cake and you will be delighted!
Thanks to KIM for this offering.
Do you have something "beany" to share? Shoot us an email: email@example.com We appreciate you and your ideas.
We will be keeping you all in the loop about the upcoming offline cooking class, so do keep your eyes open for that. Those of you who do not live in SE Nebraska will have access to some of that information because we plan to video a portion of the presentation. EACH OF YOU IS CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS GATHERING OF LIKE MINDS!
Gardens around town are bountiful now; there are some tremendous ideas to share about TOMATOES so if the computer behaves itself, those ideas will be forthcoming. grin
The FTC wants you to know there are links in this post. Should they be clicked, resulting in sales, your humble blogger would be fairly compensated. Please do your due diligence when conducting affairs online or offline. Always do business with those you trust implicitly

Subject: Rational vs irrational arguments
Virtually all beliefs people hold are supported by an argument.
But many beliefs are supported by irrational arguments e.g. I believe X because my parents believe X, I believe X because it makes me feel...
Everybody relies on both rational and irrational arguments to support their beliefs. Though obviously the less contemplative a person is, the less likely they are to support their beliefs with rational arguments because rational arguments require the contemplative use of reason to balance evidence, while irrational arguments appeal to immediate perceptions.
My question concerns the immutability of a person's beliefs. I'm currently inclined to think that beliefs supported by irrational arguments are less amenable to change regardless of the means employed to change them. In a sense once you encourage a person to support their beliefs on the basis of rational arguments, you in effect weaken their beliefs.
Are people more likely to change beliefs supported by rational or irrational arguments?
It very likely depends on the individual and their experiences but lets suppose a vast population thereby limiting the affect these influences can have.

I don't think you can give a general and catholic answer to that question.
It depends on the case.
For example, it is very difficult to change someone's "irrational" opinion that hapiness is the desired state in life. On the contrary it's rather easy to change someone's irrational habit, eating fast, by explaining to him that it's no good for his stomach.
Similarly, rational arguments can be divided according to their complexity. To persuade a philosopher that his philosophic theory is wrong will take much effort and time (supposing we are referring to a competent philosopher ). On the contrary, to persuade someone that his rational argument, that the solution of an integral in mathematics is a number A, you only have to indicate the mistake he did in the solution process.
So, i believe there is no general case...

I guess one could say that the appeal of rational arguments can not be rationally justified, otherwise it would be circular. (Did I just rationally reject the notion that rationality can be rationally justified? What the hell just happened?) But once we have belief in rational arguments for whatever reason(irrational reasons I suspect), they WILL be a very strong influence on our beliefs.

Of course you are free to reject it! But do you have any rational argument for rejecting it?
Seriously, do you see any way to justify something that is not dogmatic and thus ultimately irrational?
Perhaps, but should they be? What is, after all, achieved by giving rational reasons, other then perhaps a purely psychological feeling of confidence?

Here's why they should be. Utilizing rationality generally results in more efficient and sustainable satisfaction of irrational urges, if rationality isn't taken TOO seriously that is.

Actually, I doubt that must be true. You can show flaws in irrational arguments, and you can't show any flaws in rational ones. And I don't see why it would be rhetorically or psychologically easier to make people think there were flaws in rational arguments than in irrational ones.
Now it is plausibly true that if someone holds a belief for irrational reasons, then they're more likely to be irrational -- even if you show them flaws in an argument, they won't see them, or won't believe you. And if they're no more or less susceptible to rhetorical or psychological strategies than rational people, then it will be harder to change their minds. And if the majority of beliefs are held by irrational people, then the average belief held for irrational reasons will be harder to change. But that's a lot of "ifs."

It seems a lot of people fundamentally disagree with the question, so perhaps rephrasing it may help.
Suppose a person has a belief. When asked to explain why they believe it they give exclusively irrational arguments. The same person subsequently adopts rational arguments to form the basis of the belief and abandons the formerly held irrational arguments. Is the person now easier to persuade to change their belief?

In general, I think the answer is yes!
Every system of knowledge have to be built from something. You have to have basic truths you do not question, otherwise you can only say tautologies, which are not very useful.
These atoms of thoughts must be irrational, for if they had been explained by something else they wouldn't be "atoms". Rational beliefs are connected to other beliefs by rational arguments, so if you want to break them, you can refute what made them true. For the atoms of thoughts, this is more difficult.
Actually it is quite common that after you had convinced someone that is argument is not generally valid, he will admit it, but stay in his conclusion. Saying something like "I still think it's true", "It still make sense"
This suggest, that our strongest and most basic beliefs are irrational.

Sigma Kappa Educates on Anti-Hazing
Sigma Kappa's RespEKt Movement, designed to raise awareness about the dangers of hazing, will take place April 18-20. Information will be available on the Mall about what constitutes as hazing and how to avoid hazing practices.
Senior Kelly Gorman organized this campaign based on similar projects that other Sigma Kappa chapters have conducted. This inaugural promotion will be fairly low-key, but "hopefully [the] program will continue to grow in the years to come," Gorman said.
The organization hopes this campaign will raise awareness and prompt any organization that engages in hazing to reassess its decision. In addition to information on the mall, Sigma Kappa will post signs across campus to share statistics and facts about hazing.

Where did you get that hat?
It's bonfire night this weekend! Woopee!! There's no better excuse to get wrapped up warm, write the names of all the people you love with a sparkler in ludicrously awkward mittens, and scoff a sticky toffee apple failing desperately to keep it out of your hair. And that's all before the fireworks even get going. Pretty much NOTHING I love more than a firework display. Bring. It. On.
Now, those of you who, like me, remember being trussed up to the point of looking like an extra from Touching The Void only to attend a village bonfire 50 yards down the road, will be able to relate to this next pearl. Irrespective of medical fact, my mother always told me you lose fifty percent of your body-heat through your head. Quite how this was mathematically calculated remains a mystery, but on matters such as these my mother is a force to be reckoned with. It's up there with your kidneys getting cold when flashing your mid-drift and getting piles from sitting on a cold step. There's no debate to be had. With this in mind, the number one bonfire night wardrobe essential has to be (drum roll) the hat. If you're looking for an accessory you can sport every bad hair day between now and February at the same time as preventing precious heat from escaping through your lugs, I've done your homework for you. You can find a suitable way to repay me later.
Best for wooly:
Seven Gauge Studios, 25 quid, available from sevengaugestudios.com or notonthehighstreet.com
Hand made in a loft down in England, these beauties are made by Joy Bates, a very special knitting lady, who has woven for many a great fashion house including Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein and Nicole Farhi. Now that's a cheeky beanie to wear with considerable pride. Check out her website. I could literally have it ALL. Lust-worthy knitted goodness.
Best for cool:
La La Land, 45 quid, available in store or online at livinginlalaland.co.uk
Is it a hat? is it a hood? is it a snood? I'm not sure. But I like it. Not least because its handmade in Glasgow using exclusive vintage Italian fabric by Chouchou, and stocked at my favourite wee boutique. Blinking practical too. Ticks all round.
Best for high-street:
Topshop, 25 quid, available in store or online at topshop.com
Toppers strikes again. Ok, this one might not keep your ears warm but it's definitely got the Fash Factor. I'd like to think it helps give bonfire night a more distinguished feel. Just you watch it doesn't blow away.
Best for statement:
Pea Cooper, price undisclosed, contact pea through peacoopermillinery.com
Pea, Scottish milliner extraordinaire, first coined the phrase, 'wear your heart on your head'. Quite. I've no idea how much this wee beauty sets you back – contact her for details or you can even get her to create something special just for you. Granted, this may bust the bonfire night budget. But it's nice, isn't it? Maybe you could consider it a kind of felt crown?
Well, quite frankly I could go on and on. There is a wealth of hats out there just longing for a happy head to sit upon. I found a nice blue beret in the corner of a vintage shop for 3 pounds so you needn't spend all your pocket money. Just make sure those ears are toasty before you brave the cold on Saturday night. Happy sparkling!

On Thursday, February 17, the Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego will present findings from a new report on "Drug Violence in Mexico" that examines recent developments in Mexico's drug war and their implications for the coming year.
TBI's recent report underscores the geographic concentration of violence, sharp increases due to new clashes among drug traffickers, and a qualitative shift that has led to the targeting of more public officials and civilians over the last year.
The recent report will be presented by David Shirk, director of the Trans-Border Institute, and a panel of security experts.
This event is free and open to the public and to the press, but RSVP in advance to email@example.com.
The study can be found here.
WHAT: Dr. Shirk will present the results of the Trans-Border Institute's recent study on drug violence in Mexico.
WHERE: University of San Diego
WHEN: Thursday, February 17, 2011 from 3 - 4:30 p.m.

A man convicted of attacking and raping a woman on the Katy Trail near Sedalia was sentenced for those crimes Tuesday.
Ronald Greer, 45, was sentenced to four life in prison terms plus seven years by Pettis County Circuit Judge Robert Koffman.
Two of the sentences do not allow for parole. Greer was on parole for rape when the 2012 rape happened.
In August, a jury convicted Greer of two counts of armed criminal action, forcible rape, forcible sodomy, and resisting arrest.
Last month, Greer was also sentenced to 15 years in prison for the 2012 assault of a deputy at an Interstate 70 rest stop in Cooper County.
In that incident, he attacked a deputy and stole his patrol car, taking authorities on a lengthy car chase around Boonville before being captured.

Heeeyyy, boys, Father's Day is Sunday! Whether you've got to say thanks to your pop, your man, or your granddaddy, odds are you're buying a gift for someone. And just in case you forgot, here are four last-minute gift ideas that will blow that dude away, and that you can set up from your desk.
One of my favorite menswear sites lately is J.Hilburn, which offers super-luxe clothing and accessories (like, suuuuper luxe) at a not so luxe price. Hook your dude up with a bona-fide style consultant in his area, and they'll not only get him fitted but also suggest the perfect gear for whatever he's up to. Foot the bill, or don't—either way he'll thank you for the connection.
If your pa is into sweets—really, who isn't—consider an ice cream of the month subscription with MilkMade Ice Cream. For 30 bucks a month they'll deliver two pints of crazy-delicious ice cream to Dad's door (maple pancake or salted watermelon, anyone?). Keep up the service for as long as you want your loved one to be happy. Which should be forever.
If your guy is super practical but still likes to pamper himself, try the Dollar Shave Club. There are different levels of membership (the most expensive is just nine bucks a month), but depending on what you choose, they'll send a brand-new razor to your dude every month, so he'll never have to shave with a dull, crappy razor. Just so you know, Dollar Shave Club's razors are f*cking great (so they claim).
Finally, the most tried-and-true gift I can think of—albeit a little cliched—is tickets to see his favorite team play. This is a twofer gift because he gets to watch his favorite team, and you guys get to spend some quality time together. Win-win...hopefully win.
What are you giving the man in your life for Father's Day?

After revealing his record deal, he went to Canada for five months to concentrate on making his album.
Once Enrique signed his recording contract he told his parents of his dreams of singing.
His manager changed his name to Enrique Martinez while sending his demo tapes to record companies. He did not want Enrique to get a record deal because of his father's name.
He gave up studying business at the University of Miami to begin a music career.
He made his singing debut in his school's poduction of Hello, Dolly. After that he began practicing singing without his parents knowledge.
After coming to the United States to live with his dad singer, Julio Iglesias, he was exposed to American and Hispanic music.
In 1982, his mom sent him to live in Miami, with his father.
He has a sister named, Chabeli.
Enrique was born in Madrid, Spain.
Enrique won a Latin Grammy in 2003 for best male pop album.
Won an American Music Award for favorite Latin Artist in 2003.
Enrique enjoys vactioning in the Caribbean the most.
Enrique's favorite movie is Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Enrique: (revealing some problems in his relationship with Anna Kournikova) We were living together for six months, but she kicked me out. We had a fight. We did make up, but she didn't let me move back in. It was a stupid fight - something about my dogs. I'll move back in when she lets me.
Enrique: I think it must be harder to be female than male. Apart from having to deal with period pains, pregnancy and child birth, I think women are more emotional than men. It's not just that they find it easier to talk about emotions, I think they actually feel emotions more deeply.
Enrique: (asked if he misses his mole) [Laughs] No. I can't believe having a mole removed turned into such a big deal. Basically, all that happened was I went to the doctor, he told me it had the potential to become cancerous and said he could remove it in 30 seconds, so I told him to go for it. It's that simple.
Enrique: (asked what his favorite story he's read that was written about him was) I like the story about me and Anna getting married and divorced [laughs]. I think we're still together. I've been away for two weeks, so I'll have to check we're still together when I go back home, you know how things change!
Enrique: (asked what the biggest misconception about him was) Probably that one about me having a small penis. I think people believe I take myself more seriously than I actually do.
Enrique: (revealing he has split from Anna Kournikova) We've split. I'm single now and it's OK. I don't mind being single. I'm not ready for children. I don't feel like taking on such a responsibility yet. But in the future I'd like two children.
Enrique Iglesias: You should do whatever language you feel is the perfect language for you to sing in and then try to strive to do the best.
Enrique Iglesias: Yes, I have made a woman cry.
Enrique Iglesias: Yes, and I hope that day I get married, it is forever.
Enrique Iglesias: Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that's always going to change, and love is never going to change.
Enrique Iglesias: With the press, if it's a professional interview and I feel comfortable, I don't mind talking about my personal life.
Enrique Iglesias: When you find the perfect person you shouldn't feel any insecurity.
Enrique Iglesias: When there's love there's good sex.
Enrique Iglesias: When I'm in love, I wake up happy.
Enrique Iglesias: We're the same blood but the singing style is different.
Enrique Iglesias: We all feel love, and that might sound kind of corny, but I really feel that's what joins musicians together around the world.
Enrique Iglesias: The weirdest show I ever played was in Russia, in the Kremlin. That was weird, because I think the Kremlin seats 6,000 people, and you couldn't even bring a production. You couldn't even touch anything.
Enrique Iglesias: The video for Addicted was an idea of mine, and it all came together with the genius direction of Peter Berg.
Enrique Iglesias: The one thing about music is that there are no rules.
Enrique Iglesias: The music promotion is what makes your face a pretty face.
Enrique Iglesias: Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.
Enrique Iglesias: Not that I don't like the other songs, but I love ballads, and I think it's always a risk-taker when you come up with a ballad.
Enrique Iglesias: My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness.
Enrique Iglesias: My friends support me a lot.
Enrique Iglesias: My first record contract was for three records in Spanish, and right when that was over, that was a perfect time for me to release an English album, and that's when it all happened.
Enrique Iglesias: Love is one of my main inspirations.
Enrique Iglesias: It surprises me what the girls are capable of doing for me.
Enrique Iglesias: In school, kids never really looked at me a different way because I think it was a different generation; they didn't really know who my father was.
Enrique Iglesias: If permanent happiness comes with someone, I'd leave everything.
Enrique Iglesias: I've gone over a million in a half miles flying.
Enrique Iglesias: I'm very romantic.
Enrique Iglesias: I'm so proud of who I am and where I come from and who my father is.
Enrique Iglesias: I'm so much into the melody.
Enrique Iglesias: I'm a person that knows what he wants.
Enrique Iglesias: I'm a good person, but with many defects.
Enrique Iglesias: I'd never pay for sex.
Enrique Iglesias: I'd just finished my album and Robert Rodriguez's people called me and asked if I want to do this movie. It was a short role, a small role in Once Upon A Time In Mexico.
Enrique Iglesias: I was happier before, when I lead a normal life.
Enrique Iglesias: I used to travel to so many different countries with my Spanish albums, and some of them would listen to my music and some of them wouldn't, just because it was in Spanish.
Enrique Iglesias: I started singing with poor musicians but they were very talented.
Enrique Iglesias: I say that when you sing in English, it's easier and it does open a lot more markets, but there's exceptions, and there are artists out there that have done it in Portuguese, Spanish, and French.
Enrique Iglesias: I really want to fall in love.
Enrique Iglesias: I prefer love over sex.
Enrique Iglesias: I mean, you need a good production, but the essence, what makes a song timeless, is the melody, the lyric, and of course the production.
Enrique Iglesias: I mean, when you do the same thing as your father... I always want it to be better than my father as a singer.
Enrique Iglesias: I mean, lyrics are crucial, but melody - it's so much about that.
Enrique Iglesias: I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.
Enrique Iglesias: I mean, I do consider that my music is pop because I've been influenced by pop music my whole life; I grew up in the States and '80s pop music was my biggest influence.
Enrique Iglesias: I just want my albums to do something different; I don't want the prior one to sound like the new one.
Enrique Iglesias: I had a normal childhood. There were women, but it wasn't like Hefner's Playboy Mansion. If it was, I'd still be living at home!
Enrique Iglesias: I don't think I would be a good producer, but I would like to compose for other singers, give them ideas for other projects, the problem is that I don't compose often and I don't have songs to give to others.
Enrique Iglesias: I don't really like revealing everything about my private life.
Enrique Iglesias: I don't actually think about what kind of an album I'm going to make when I go into the studio, because that kind of limits me.
Enrique Iglesias: I can say that I got hooked into pop music, English-speaking pop music, the first time I went to camp.
Enrique Iglesias: I always respect a woman.
Enrique Iglesias: For me, it all starts with if I can sing a song with a guitar and it still sounds good acoustically, then I'll stick it on the album.
Enrique Iglesias: I'm never going to deny where I come from. I'm Latino, and that's obvious.
Enrique Iglesias: At age 13, I fell in love with my teacher.
Enrique Iglesias: And that's why for artists, no matter what your background is, no matter what religion, what nationality, or what class you come from, no matter if you're rich or poor, no matter what, that's where we all join together and where we're all similar.
Enrique Iglesias: And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.

Rubber Body Plug Kit 1969-1970 is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by USN Mustang from Great Kit! This kit is really well put together. All the pieces have the part number molded into them and there is a list in the kit for placement by that number. Takes the guess work out of figuring out where they go.

Best Decision we ever made!
By Meg F.
from Chicago
We used this to replace a lesser quality unit that was very loud and broke often. Wished we had upgraded sooner. The dryer appears to have a sensor, and senses when to stop if the clothes are dry. Have washed king comforters, sanitized towels from a construction clean up, etc. HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER!
They were early, and very nice. I love ABT delivery!

Bargaining Chains (Long Version)
William S. Lovejoy
University of Michigan, Stephen M. Ross School of Business
May 2010
Ross School of Business Paper No. 1146
We consider a firm that designs a new product and wishes to bring it to market, but does not have ownership or control over all of the resources required to make that happen. The firm must select and contract with one of several possible tier 1 suppliers for necessary inputs, who do the same with their (tier 2) suppliers, etc. This general situation is common in industry. We assume tier-wise negotiations, sole sourcing within each tier, complete local information, and horizontal competition. We develop a bargaining-based solution to the negotiations between two adjacent multi-firm tiers and show its consistency with familiar solution concepts from the theories of bargaining and cooperative games. We then link up multiple bargaining modules to generate chain-wide predictions for efficiency and profitability in supply chains with an arbitrary number of tiers and an arbitrary number of firms per tier. We investigate the implications of the results for investments in process improvements or supplier development.

The Personal Window of Paula Modersohn-Becker
Paula Modersohn-Becker's life and vibrant artistic career provides a unique view into the turn of the twentieth century's shifting ideology concerning female duty in Germany and Europe. Three avant-garde thinkers, poet Rainier Maria Rilke, feminist writer Ellen Key, and philosopher Frederic Nietzsche, influenced Modersohn-Becker's views on the social and personal issues explored in her art. The tension between these three perspectives and Modersohn- Becker's own beliefs is evident in the artist's personal iconography. In particular, nine paintings of pregnant mothers and mothers with children from 1898 to 1907 reflect Modersohn-Becker's evolving view of maternity. Modersohn Becker's works exemplify the struggle between the evolving social and political expectations of women's role in society.

Irish Rec Room license won't be renewed
Members of the Milwaukee Common Council on Tuesday voted to not renew the Class "B" tavern and public entertainment license for the Irish Rec Room, 1023 N. Old World 3rd St.
Aldermen took the action because the tavern's owners deviated from their original plan of operation, and because of allegations of disorderly conduct and disruptive behavior. »Read Full Article
Panfilio infuses 'Rita' with hopeful humor
In the opening scene of "Educating Rita," Willy Russell's bittersweet play about a 26-year-old hairdresser trying to start over and the alcoholic literature professor assigned to help her, Rita bounds into Frank's book-lined study for her first lesson.
Her attention is immediately drawn to an ostensibly chaste but erotically charged portrait on the wall, and within the blink of an eye she has offered a bawdy, original and wide-ranging interpretation of how that portrait works. Admitting he hasn't looked at it in years, the best Frank can manage is the bland assessment that it's "beautiful." »Read Full Article

Cameras approved for thief-plagued Dallas auto pound
The Dallas City Council has approved spending $173,000 to buy 13 cameras to monitor the perimeter of the city auto pound, a facility long plagued by marauding thieves.
"They will have low light vision, digitally stored images and video, motion sensing and tracking," First Assistant City Manager Ryan Evans said in an email. "An additional feature of this equipment is the installation of perimeter sensors which provide an infrared curtain with alarms. The alarms move the cameras to that location."
This decision by the City Council has been a long time in coming.
In December 2006, I first reported that thieves had found an easy target at the pound. I followed up with a story this summer.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.

Biodiesel Production Expected to Triple in 2005
The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) announced in early November that it anticipates 75 million gallons of biodiesel production in 2005, three times as much as produced in 2004. NBB credits a federal tax incentive, state legislation, and a diesel shortage for the rise in demand. According to NBB, there are currently 45 biodiesel production plants, each averaging about 6.5 million gallons per year, although some of the latest plants weigh in with capacities at about 30 million gallons per year. To keep up with growing demand, developers have proposed building another 54 biodiesel plants. See the NBB press release (PDF 27 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
A number of companies have announced biodiesel production plans in recent months. TexCom, Inc. is planning to build two plants—each with a capacity of 30 million gallons per year—in the Texas cities of Seabrook and Corpus Christi. Both plants will produce biodiesel from soybean oil and both should be operating by the end of 2006. Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) plans to build a 50-million-gallon-per-year facility in Velva, North Dakota, producing biodiesel from canola oil. See the October 3rd and November 10th press releases from TexCom and the ADM press release.

- Districts Required to Participate in the SY 2017 5Essentials Survey (8/16/16)
- 5Essentials Survey of Learning Conditions Letter of Intent - Submit by COB 9/1/16
Illinois 5Essentials Survey: Organizing Schools for Improvement
From January 11 to March 11, 2016, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) conducted its fourth annual survey of learning conditions, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey. The 5Essentials Survey, a diagnostic tool developed by researchers at the University of Chicago, provides schools with fine-grained data on five leading indicators for school improvement: Effective Leaders, Collaborative Teachers, Involved Families, Supportive Environment and Ambitious Instruction.
Twenty years of University of Chicago research has shown that schools that were strong on at least three of the 5Essentials were 10 times more likely to make substantial gains in reading and math.
All district schools, including alternative schools that fall under the district's domain, are required by legislation to participate in the survey at least every other year. In 2016, districts participating in Race to the Top and districts that did not participate in the 2015 survey were required to participate by ISBE. All districts had the option to participate and were strongly encouraged to do so.
Survey results will be released in Spring 2016 to principals and superintendents. A summary of the 5Essential results will be reported publicly on the State School Report Card website at http://illinoisreportcard.com. Detailed survey reports will also be publicly released.
The 5Essentials Indicators
The Illinois 5 Essentials Survey identifies five indicators that lead to important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains.
The five indicators that positively affect school success are:
- Effective Leaders
- Collaborative Teachers
- Involved Families
- Supportive Environments
- Ambitious Instruction
Research derived from the Five Essentials for School Success has proven that schools strong on at least 3 of the 5Essentials are 10 times more likely to improve student outcomes.

Pantaloon Retail's operational performance offers no relief from its ballooning debt and high inventory remains a major concern for the company. The company is seeing a slowdown in its business and the coming quarters don't look good either.
Kishore Biyani-run Pantaloon Retail is present in multiple businesses - retail, non-banking financial services and logistics - through more than 50 subsidiaries. However, its core business remains retail and it is one of the largest retail companies in India with retail space of more than 14 million square feet.
