The Merchant of Venice
by William Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice Friendship Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Norton Shakespeare edition.
Quote #10
Antonio, I am married to a wife
Which is as dear to me as life itself,
But life itself, my wife, and all the world,
Are not with me esteemed above thy life.
I would lose all, ay, sacrifice them all
Here to this devil, to deliver you.
PORTIA [aside]
Your wife would give you little thanks for that
If she were by, to hear you make the offer. (4.1.294-301)
Bassanio seems to choose friendship over love here. Maybe it's because he thinks his friend is about to die, or maybe it's because he just married for money. Either way, Portia (disguised here as Balthazar) knows exactly where she stands, but she resolves to do something about it. Keep reading...
Quote #11
My Lord Bassanio, let him have the ring.
Let his deservings and my love withal
Be valued 'gainst your wife's commandment. (4.1.467-469)
Here Antonio convinces his BFF to give "Balthazar" Portia's ring. Not knowing that Portia has just saved his backside, Antonio still insists that his friendship be valued over her love. It's like he's jockeying with her for the primary spot in Bassanio's heart. Seriously, he just nagged Bassanio into giving up the equivalent of his wedding ring!
But this completely backfires for Antonio, because Portia later confronts her husband about giving up the love token and guilt-trips him into being a better husband. You can read more about this ring business in "Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory."

InSight Will Investigate the Deep Interior of Mars
NASA has selected InSIght, a geophysical investigation of Mars, to be the 12th mission in the Discovery Program of groundbreaking solar system explorations. Set to launch in 2016, InSight, which is an acronym for Interior exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, will take the first look into the deep interior of Mars to see why the Red Planet evolved so differently from Earth as one of our solar system's rocky planets.
The mission will place instruments on the Martian surface to investigate whether the core of Mars is solid or liquid like Earth's, and why Mars' crust is not divided into tectonic plates that drift like Earth's. Detailed knowledge of the interior of Mars in comparison to Earth will help scientists understand better how terrestrial planets form and evolve.
Artist's Rendition of InSight

"The exploration of Mars is a top priority for NASA, and the selection of InSight ensures we will continue to unlock the mysteries of the Red Planet and lay the groundwork for a future human mission there," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said. "The recent successful landing of the Curiosity rover has galvanized public interest in space exploration, and today's announcement makes clear there are more exciting Mars missions to come."
InSight will be led by W. Bruce Banerdt at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. InSight's science team includes U.S. and international co-investigators. The French space agency Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, or CNES, and the German Aerospace Center are contributing instruments to InSight, which is scheduled to land on Mars in September 2016 to begin its two-year scientific mission.
Created in 1992, the Discovery Program sponsors frequent, cost-capped solar system exploration missions with highly focused scientific goals. NASA requested Discovery mission proposals in June 2010 and received 28. InSight was one of three proposed missions selected in May 2011 for funding to conduct preliminary design studies and analyses. The other two proposals were for missions to a comet and Saturn's moon Titan.
InSight builds on spacecraft technology used in NASA's highly successful Phoenix lander mission, which was launched to the Red Planet in 2007 and determined water existed near the surface in the Martian polar regions. By incorporating proven systems in the mission, the InSight team demonstrated that the mission concept was low-risk and could stay within the cost-constrained budget of Discovery missions. The cost of the mission, excluding the launch vehicle and related services, is capped at $425 million in 2010 dollars.
"Our Discovery Program enables scientists to use innovative approaches to answering fundamental questions about our solar system in the lowest cost mission category," said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters. "InSight will get to the 'core' of the nature of the interior and structure of Mars, well below the observations we've been able to make from orbit or the surface."
InSight will carry four instruments. JPL will provide an onboard geodetic instrument to determine the planet's rotation axis and a robotic arm and two cameras used to deploy and monitor instruments on the Martian surface. CNES is leading an international consortium that is building an instrument to measure seismic waves traveling through the planet's interior. The German Aerospace Center is building a subsurface heat probe to measure the flow of heat from the interior.

"Colum did a synopsis of his new book TransAtlantic that we set to music. He had an afternoon off after promoting his book in Dublin. We sent him an idea for a melody. We didn't expect a synopsis of the book. But that's what he came out with and it was written as a ballad." "I went westward toward another war and I knew what my eyes were fighting for/I watched my boy/look out for my son/he is so very young/look out for my son/my blood and bone," Moya sings atop a mournful flute-driven melody. It is a beautiful ballad about emigration that stands among the group's best work.
"It was lovely to go with this direction," she says of the track. "From an artist to an artist you're mature enough to make that happen. Colum came in with a bundle of words. We edited it down and just sang it bit by bit."
"Turas Domhsa chon na Galldachd" is classic Clannad — ethereal Gaelic poetry sung in otherworldly harmonies, a muted bagpipe in the distance providing that extra tingle to the spine.
While the past is referenced in the new music, Clannad wisely chose not to dwell on it.
On "The Fishing Blues," southern fried harmonica bounces along with acoustic strumming and a playful bass line that makes a Southern Comfort cocktail just that.
"Donegal is a big fishing county and the fisherman are having a hard time at the moment," Moya says.
"The song supports them. Killybegs is the only working fishing port in Ireland. We know loads of families that lost people to the sea. The industry is going down so fast and we wanted to call attention to that."
Moya and the lads had just returned from the Irish Embassy in London the night before our interview, and she was still lit up by the reception she got.
"Last night we went onstage and sung three songs," she explains. "When we meet, we have no arguments at all when we are putting our set list together. We knew intuitively where we grew, what were our strengths."
Moya acknowledges, in her words, that "the goodness of Clannad came from those first six albums — what we were about, what we were conceiving.
"This new album is a continuation of where we came from, but definitely there are elements of the first album. There was well over an album and a half of material but we kept it to the essence and theme of our music. We had such a great time."
Plans are in place to come to America for a tour in the coming months, a prospect that excites the Brennan clan to no end.
"We will be doing a lot of the new album. I hope people buy it and prepare themselves for that. We may do a few songs we haven't done in a while," Moya says.
"Of course, you want to include some of the favorite songs — you can't avoid that. It will be dotted with ones we haven't done in a while. It will be nice to get onstage with the family again."

Here's the promotional video for Clannad's new CD, "Nádúr."

The numbers are in, and they aren't pretty.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Monday that overall, more than a third of adults are obese. The latest figures are based on a 2011 telephone survey that asked adults their height and weight. For the first time, households with only cell phones were included.
State rates remained about the same although states with very high rates went from nine to 12. At least 30 percent of adults are obese in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia. The percentage of obese adults in Ohio came in just under 30 percent at 29.6 percent.
Colorado was lowest, at just under 21 percent, and Mississippi was highest at nearly 36 percent.
Just last week it was reported that laws curbing the sale of junk food to kids at school can make a difference in the number of obese children. Fewer obese kids could mean fewer obese adults, so it's essential that the answer to the obesity epidemic is an answer geared to kids and adults both.
Recent data suggest that almost 20 percent of elementary school children nationwide are obese, and the rate among teens is only slightly lower.
That's why laws governing food and drinks sold in public school vending machines and school stores, outside of mealtime, are so important. To be effective, laws must include specific nutrition requirements, such as limits on sugar and fats, and they need to be consistently strong in all grades. We must educate young people, teaching them healthy habits early on, if we hope to turn the rising tide of adult obesity.

Alpine AHOVA-30CN1-M13C
2.5 Ton, 13 SEER Condenser, R-410A Refrigerant
We Install Too!
Equipment installation now available in your area.
2.5 Ton, 13 SEER Condenser, R-410A Refrigerant
The Alpine AHOVA-CN1 13 SEER Series condenser is made by Midea and is the outdoor air conditioning element in a versatile climate-control system designed to create perfect comfort. It is exceptionally well constructed and features built in high and low pressure safety shut-off switches, components normally found only in high-end equipment. This multi-functional, high-efficiency system meets all of your needs while offering industry-leading quality and unmatched value.
This condenser requires an indoor air handler or evaporator coil as part of a complete system. The coil or air handler you should use depends on two factors about the condenser: the tonnage, and the efficiency rating ("SEER"). Usually, high efficiency condensers require a larger tonnage coil than the tonnage of the condenser. For example, a 2 ton 16 SEER condenser might be paired with a 3 ton evaporator coil. To find the specific coils and air handlers that are recommended by the manufacturer for this condenser, check the Accessories tab above. Also, you can view the manufacturer's specifications sheets at the Documents tab above.
Some models of condensers include an orifice (also called "flow rater" or "piston") in a small bag taped to the side of the condenser. If the condenser you purchase includes this orifice, you will need to replace the orifice already inside the evaporator coil or air handler you purchase with this orifice included with the condenser. Doing so makes the condenser and evaporator coil compatible. You can view this step-by-step guide to see how to easily change the orifice.
Need help putting a complete system together? Use our easy System Selector and we'll do it for you!
Please note that this air conditioning equipment comes pre-charged with R-410A liquid refrigerant and by Federal law cannot be released to the atmosphere. Yes, you can purchase this equipment without being EPA certified. And, if you are mechanically inclinedyou may perform about 90% of the equipment installation yourself. However, we strongly recommend to have a professional heating/cooling contractor do the final part of the installation including managing the refrigerant. An HVAC contractor has the tools and know-how to do this work. Also, having a contractor perform the final startup and inspection of this central air conditioner validates your warranty with Alpine.

Is there a left or right?
My husband had knee surgery in Nov of 2012. It was not successful. His Ortho Dr. rx'd this brace for him, but he's not sure if it's the right one. He has become very bowlegged and this brace was supposed to help lessen the bow. It almost looks like the brace doesn't work with the line of his leg. He never got measured, the Dr. just ordered him a brace. Can you let me know if there is a left or right...

Fusion Knee Brace
I'm 10 months out of surgery and back into vigorous training for my Spring Collegiate Softball season. My doctor recommended the use of the brace. Given my position (being a catcher), I have to wear the brace underneath the catching equipment. I've developed numerous rashes, bruises, etc. due to the brace slipping, sliding underneath my equipment. I never liked the brace, and it doesn't make me feel any more supported. I would not recommend this brace for the serious athlete.
Breg Response
We're very sorry to hear about your problems with the brace! There are some things we can recommend, including an undersleeve that can help with skin irritation. Customer Care will contact you to help resolve the issues. Thank you for your feedback. It's important for us to hear about problems like these so they can be addressed!

Fusion XT OA Knee Brace
I first purchased the Fusion XT OA size M knee brace, which was too tight on my calf and thigh. I replaced it with M+ which was a better fit, but most of the straps were too long and could not be adjusted properly (I folded them in half and even that was not sufficient). I think the M+ with M size straps may provide better fit. The Fusion XT OA knee brace is very stiff and you should make sure that it will fit you well. Personally, I should have ordered the Fusion OA brace, as I think, it would have been a better fit for me. I will try to get some shorter starps for the brace, and in the future, I will surely order the Fusion OA. I play soccer every Sunday for many years. I also plays twice a year in tournaments. In the past I had two knee surgeries on my right knees, my meniscus are worn out, and arthritis has settled in both knees. My Orthopedic doctor suggested that I quit playing soccer. Ever since I purchased the knee brace, I am able to continue playing with no pain at all. Furthermore, I feel so great after each game that I am compelled to share this story with you. Personally, I highly recommend the Fusion knee braces. Consult Breg's customer service (one of the best in the industry) and see which of the Fusion is best for you: The Fusion OA, or the Fusion XT OA.

Old English grennian 'bare the teeth in pain or anger', of Germanic origin; probably related to groan.
When grin entered English in the 11th century it meant 'to bare the teeth in pain or anger', far from the happy expression the word suggests nowadays. This former sense is preserved in the expression grin and bear it, 'to suffer pain or misfortune stoically'. An earlier version of the phrase is grin and abide. Not until the late 15th century did grin begin to be used for various sorts of smile, developing from a forced, unnatural one, through a rather vacant, silly one, to the cheerful and broad smile we associate with the word today. Groan (Old English) is related.

About 18 months ago, Poore of Statesville, N.C., was charged with murdering his son. The trial was scheduled for last May, but one of the defense witnesses had a stroke, said Pleasants County Prosecutor Tim Sweeney.
"The witness with the stroke has substantially recovered," Sweeney said. The witness is expected to be able to participate in the trial.
An autopsy report, misplaced before it was completed and returned to law enforcement officials, caused the case to be delayed 25 years, officials said. After the report was discovered, Pleasants County law enforcement re-examined the case.
A warrant for Poore's arrest was issued in July 2006. He heard of the warrant and turned himself in at the Pleasants County Magistrate Court in St. Marys in August 2006.
He was released on bond several weeks later and returned to North Carolina to work.
Meanwhile in court, Jeffrey Allan Hughart, 40, of St. Marys was indicted on a charge of second-degree sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. His trial is scheduled for Feb. 6.
The incident allegedly occurred about Jan. 26, 2007. Hughart is being held in the North Central Regional Jail.

Snippet from James B. Byrne...
<for having made utterances with no more evil intent than that of the OP. Anumber of them are imprisoned by the United States Government itself or bynational authorities acting on its behest.>
Name two.
-----Original Message-----
From: HP-3000 Systems Discussion [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of James B. Byrne
Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 8:31 AM
To: [email]firstname.lastname@example.com[/email]
Subject: [HP3000-L] Civil Discourse
Someone wrote:
> Since this list is not a Post Office, how does this statute apply?[/color]
"... or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against thePresident, President-elect, ..."
The word "otherwise" provides for any and all other forms of utterance.
As for the OP not being a threat. I grant that it was not a creditable threat and that the words were carefully chosen to avoid the appearance of direct action.
However, there exists in law the concept of inflammatory speech with intentto incite lawless action. That renders the utterer as guilty of the offence they promoted as if they committed it themselves. The OP's first statement makes a direct reference to someone assassinating the president-elect, indisputably a lawless act. The second makes specific reference to that it should happen before inauguration day, "If it is going to happen, hopefully it will happen before January 20...".
This is clearly an expression of the OP's desire, the word hopefully in this context having no other possible interpretation. The juxtaposition of both statements by the OP are clearly inflammatory. "Dirtbag" is not generally considered a complementary term nor one commonly found in civil discourse.. These elements in combination makes the entire passage an utterance of athreat; the conditionals are taken for what they are, a fig leaf to evade personal responsibility for the words. Whether its contents are consideredby some believable or not does not change the essence of the utterance.
There are further inferences that can be drawn form the OP's statement.
For instance, was this utterance intended to inoculate fear for their person in a public official? This is an act of intimidation and whether or not the utterer had personal intent or addressed it directly to the target is quite beside the point. It is sufficient that it be made publicly.
I would point out for those too dull to make the connection with the OP's statement, that violence and the threat of violence, against lawful institutions, their officers and the populace that they serve, is the
essence of "terrorism". One person's "fair comment" is easily taken to
be "promoting terrorism" by someone so inclined and the OP's message went far beyond the pale of "fair comment."
It is well to recall that around the world there are very many people held in custody, often under deplorable conditions, for having made utterances with no more evil intent than that of the OP. A number of them are imprisoned by the United States Government itself or by national authorities acting on its behest.

Working with vendors is a necessary part of many small business operations. And though you might find vendors whose work is valuable and trustworthy, some contract sections can be a major disadvantage to you if you're not careful.
Here are three of the biggest vendor contract blunders small business owners make and how you can avoid them:
Mistake #1: Not having intellectual property ownership provisions when outsourcing product research and development.
John Boyd, partner with Rimon PC, a law firm in San Francisco, says this is a blunder small business owners make too often. For example, if you're a small business that develops and manufactures pet products and you outsource the design of a dog carrier, the vendor might own the design, and you won't be able to use it at your own discretion. To avoid this mistake, Boyd says to make sure you own any of the inventions from the research and development process.
Mistake #2: Not having specific language.
Jeff Gordon, VP of value creation for Net(net), an IT investment optimization firm in Holland, Mich. that helps business negotiate contracts, says the biggest issue he's seen is "missing performance language." Fully describe all the requirements of the vendor's work, including the frequency of the work provided, payment timelines and replacement policies for broken items. He knows of one printing company that was not specific enough with one of their paper-manufacturing vendors on shipping deadlines for invitations. When the vendor's shipment was delayed, the printing company missed an important deadline and lost customers. "Contractually, there's no such thing as being too specific," says Gordon.
Mistake #3: Not mentioning variable changes based on unforeseen circumstances.
You can be specific on timeline expectations, but include language for potential unpreventable delays. Gordon says he knew a small construction company that had a contract with a builder to finish work on a house by a certain deadline, but bad weather caused delays. Gordon says it's especially important to take variable changes—things like weather and economic conditions—into account when drafting contracts, because they will likely affect payment. He recommends including language that states prices are going to be valid for a certain period of time or can be re-negotiated in the event of unforeseen events that affect the ability to complete the work.

I tentatively ask for someone to do a collaboration with me on my art. Before you say "oh yah pk me plz," you should look at my stuff first:
I do my work primarily in Illustrator. My requirements for a collab are as follows:
1) Advanced understanding of Photoshop or Illustrator. If I tell you I like how you used a multiply blend mode with a gaussian blur of 27px as a shadow, you should be able to understand it.
2) At or near to my level.
3) Capable of using proper English.
If you're up to it, post here or in my profile with a link to your art. I'll contact you if I'm interested.

But what I don't want to have to go through is having to watch my child have to go through all that pain and suffering I have and will

Translation of toccata in Spanish:
- Example sentences
- Most people will agree that J S Bach composed the greatest keyboard toccatas precisely because he, more than any composer, was master of maximal emotional intensity, countered by acute intellectual lucidity.
- However, it is important to note that this also finds parallels in the keyboard toccatas of a number of North German composers.
- She not only gets the steel and rhythm of the toccatas (and power without pounding), but above all she generates a wealth of color and an inexorable musical line, whether loud or soft.
