Terrible service

Comments about Nashbar Frame Derailleur Hanger:
Let me preface this by saying that had I received the part displayed in the picture, I would have been more than satisfied with the cost of these hangers. I have a nashbar alloy road frame for which i was trying to get a new hanger for. I check this page and was happy to see the exact hanger I needed for less than i was expecting to pay. The one displayed in the picture was the exact unique hanger that would fit the cutout on my rear dropout. Now when you order from the website, it gives you two options: integrated carbon frame hanger, or road frame hanger. Tried to order the hanger for the nashbar road frame from Nashbar and they sent me the incorrect hanger (one completely different than the hanger displayed in the picture. I thought, "Maybe I selected the wrong one, even though I don't have a carbon frame." Also note that I am a mechanic and shop manager so its not like I am clueless.So I end up contacting the online customer support and they tell me that the hanger in the picture cannot even be ordered from the website and that I would have to directly call Nashbar and put in a small part order. My first question was "Why even have a picture of a product on your website attached to a completely different item? Why even show the picture if I cant order that exact one from the website?" The rep gave me the run around with answers that never made any sense as to why they would do that, but whatever. I'll call the service line and order it from them.Well I end up calling customer service and they transfer me between 3-4 different people and end up telling me that I simply ordered the wrong hanger. Keep in mind I've told them the exact Nashbar brand frame that I have and also mention that the hanger in the picture is the exact one i need to each of these reps. I end up paying for another hanger, a little frustrated but happy that I can finally get my bike ready to ride.Cut to a week later when the hanger arrives. Another completely different hanger than the one in the picture. So here I am now about to order the CORRECT hanger from a completely different company because Nashbar reps apparently cannot figure out how to supply the correct parts needed for their own products. TLDR wanted to order the hanger in picture, ended up wasting money on two hangers completely different from the one in picture despite being helped by several customer service reps.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love can hurt. But divorce can hurt even more, especially if you are a celebrity. Here are some of the stars' most expensive splits.
Australian golfer Greg Norman paid his ex-wife, Laura Andrassy, $103 million in a divorce settlement in 2006 following 25 years of marriage. He left Andrassy for former professional tennis player Chris Evert, but that marriage lasted only 15 months.

Following the Tracks of the Dow Transports May Give Clues to the Market
Who cares about the transports? That was the question I was asked in a radio interview on May 17. The producer of the program asked me what topic I would like to discuss, and when I said the Dow Jones transports, the young man was puzzled I chose a topic on which there was so very little interest. The radio producer, needless to say, is not the only observer who has so little regard for the transports.

Deciphering the Trend: It's All a Matter of Perspective
Nearly every investor has heard of that venerable stock market saw, "The trend is your friend." It makes sense. The trouble is, though, for most investors, deciphering the trend is often an effort in futility. However, it does not have to be so, as trends have identifiable characteristics, patterns that repeat time and time again.

- Title
- Understanding attitudes to national identity among tertiary students in Melanesia and Timor-Leste
- Author(s)
- Leach, Michael
- Abstract
- Nation-building remains a key challenge across south-west Pacific societies, including Solomon Islands, PNG, Vanuatu, and the more recently independent state of Timor-Leste. Following decolonisation in the 1970s, it was clear that welding the multiple languages and diverse cultures of the region into unified nations would be a challenge. Recent international 'state-building' efforts in the Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste have also faced difficulties, as evidenced by resurgent inter-communal violence in both states in 2006. It is important therefore that the processes of nation-building - of forming a cohesive political community, to support the development of a functional state - are better understood. This paper presents some preliminary findings of an AusAID-funded survey of attitudes to national identity and nation-building among tertiary students in PNG, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Timor-Leste. The findings cast new light on the attitudes of potential future elites towards regional, ethnic, intergenerational and linguistic faultlines in the region, and the challenges of building a cohesive sense of political community and national identity.

Big Bird wings it over to 'SNL'
Sesame Street character appears on 'Weekend Update'
Published On: Oct 08 2012 09:33:00 AM CDT Updated On: Oct 09 2012 10:31:04 AM CDT
Big Bird landed on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend, although he steered clear of the fracas known as the presidential race.
GOP hopeful Mitt Romney sparked a firestorm in last week's debate when he vowed to cut federal funding for PBS despite his apparent love of Big Bird.
Joining Seth Myers at the "Weekend Update" desk, Big Bird declined to comment on the remarks, saying he didn't want to "ruffle any feathers."
He did say he got a million tweets after Wednesday night's debate.
When Myers asked if he was on Twitter, Big Bird replied, "No, I'm a bird. Tweeting is how we talk."

All of that apple and canning work actually paid off this year! I won a grand total of $1.25 and a third-place ribbon, but hey, I won!
I entered a pint of apple butter, a pint of bread and butter pickles, and a quart of green beans into our county fair this year. The fair opened last Friday and will close Thursday. This is the first time I've entered anything I've canned in our fair (Roberta, my hen, made her debut in the photography category three years ago), so I was a little nervous. I was so excited when I saw that my apple butter took third place!
Unfortunately, my beans and pickles didn't place in the top three. However, I did get a chuckle when I realized my bread and butter pickle recipe was the only one with onions in it. (Sorry, not sorry judge!)
The apple butter recipe is from my maternal grandmother and the pickles are a recipe that's a family favorite from my paternal grandmother. We like our bread and butter pickles with a ton of onions in them, so I pack them in the jar. Makes for better pickle sandwiches that way!
I canned more apple products than anything this year thanks to Ohio's bumper apple crops. About 30 pint jars went to apple butter, which I plan to give as Christmas gifts this year. Now I can joke that the recipients are getting award-winning apple butter!

A group of 32 American anti-drone activists will join a march to Pakistan's tribal areas, where U.S. strikes have killed thousands of people over the last eight years. NBC News Amna Nawaz spoke to some of them.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Dozens of anti-drone activists have traveled to Pakistan to join a march to the country's tribal areas, where more than 300 strikes have killed thousands of people in the last eight years.
The 32 members of Code Pink have ignored a State Department travel warning to take part in Pakistani presidential candidate Imran Khan's "peace rally" to the remote area bordering Afghanistan, where the vast majority of the nearly 350 US drone strikes in Pakistan have occurred.
"People are taking great risks to come here," said Medea Banjamin, co-director of Code Pink. "It shows the depth of conviction that we have to say that 'I don't want my government killing innocent people in my name and I'm going to put my body on the line to try to stop it.' "
In Pakistan's largest city, 'Old Glory' is flammable and profitable
Khan, a former cricket star, is leading a convoy of thousands — including political supporters, local community members and journalists — into the troubled, restricted region to highlight the impact of drone strikes in Pakistan.
The rally will be the first of its kind to the tribal areas.
U.S. officials call the drone strikes an essential element of their attacks on al-Qaida militants and their affiliates in countries such as Pakistan, even as those strikes ignite local anger and fray diplomatic relations.
For many Pakistanis, 'USA' means 'drones'
In August, the Pakstani Taliban threatened to kill Khan if he held the march. "If he comes, our suicide bombers will target him," Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan told The Associated Press.
Khan, who is the founder of the Pakistan Movement for Justice party, has gained momentum over the last year after more than a decade in politics. He is perhaps the most famous person in Pakistan because he led the country's cricket team to victory in the 1992 World Cup.
More Pakistan coverage from NBC News
Despite the danger, the Code Pink members said it was important to show solidarity with the Pakistani people.
"A lot of anti-Americanism is actually created due to the drone war," activist Chelsea Faria told NBC News. "It's making us a lot less safe."
San Francisco-based Dianne Budd said people were being forced to spend "24/7 under the threat at any moment of death by drones." She added: "It's almost trivial what we're doing, compared to how they're living."

"I think a few "Best I Ever Hads" relate to food because when you're on tour, that's usually a highlight. I eat mainly vegan food and the BBQ Mock Duck Po'Boy at The Triple Rock in Minneapolis is my favorite sandwich.

Colo. No. 8 in national small business friendly ranking
- published_in
- Today's News
The survey, in which 12,632 entrepreneurs nationwide participated, measures ease of starting a business, ease of hiring employees, effectiveness of government training and networking programs, and the friendliness of local government regulations toward business, health and safety, employment and labor, taxation, licensing, environment and zoning. Only cities that saw 30 or more business people respond to the survey were included in the rankings.
Fort Collins was the second-best city in the country for hiring new workers.
"After a two-month survey of thousands of small business owners nationwide, Fort Collins has earned one of the top grades in the country for the friendliness of its regulations on small businesses," Jon Lieber, chief economist of Thumbtack.com, said in a statement. "Creating a business climate that is welcoming to small, dynamic businesses is more important than ever, and Fort Collins has shown it understands this — it has received very high marks from small businesses for its regulatory friendliness."
The top rated cities nationally were Colorado Springs followed by Boise, Idaho; Houston; Austin, Texas; and Louisville, Kent. The lowest-rated were Sacramento, Calif.; Providence, R.I.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Bridgeport, Conn.; and San Diego.

ECS includes four bellows per axle (two for pusher axles), providing a virtually parallel lift of the chassis. You can easily set the height you prefer. The system lets you store five different docking heights, something that comes in handy when you arrive at a familiar loading bay ramp. You can also choose from three customisable driving levels, to optimise ground clearance or aerodynamics.
ECS steadily keeps the chassis level, regardless of how the cargo is distributed. It prevents sideway rolling, making sure the truck is always in balance. The Work Remote also allows you to manually compensate for side kneeling.
Intuitive menus and displays let you see exactly how the load is distributed along the vehicle. Weights, axle loads and bogie loads are all specified separately, so you can easily make sure they are within the limits, on the truck as well as on the trailer. Calibration is easy too. You can fine-tune both truck and trailer, for accurate measurements at all times.

Survey of Ill or Injured Service Members Post Operational DeploymentObjective: Per SecDef direction, 14 March 2007, HPA&E is conducting a survey of service members returning from Operational Deployment in an ill or injured status. This survey supports a three-pronged strategy: (1) establish a toll-free hot line; (2) quickly field a telephone survey to service members identified through TRAC2ES aeromedical evacuation data; and (3) follow-up with a more detailed mail survey to include those who were not surveyed via telephone. Information collected in this survey will be used to assess service member attitudes and perceptions regarding outpatient rehabilitative care, other administrative needs and available services and assistance while in Medical Hold, Medical Holdover or Medical Extension status. These data are designed to assess whether existing processes or structures are effective in addressing these patient needs. This information will assist in the formulation of policies to identify and fix concerns related to support services, personnel and medical care.

Hagel warns Congress to stop defense budget cutsAP Photo
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel listens during a news conference at the Pentagon in this file photo.
WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel warned lawmakers Wednesday of severe and unacceptable effects on the U.S. military if Congress doesnt end the automatic spending cuts projected to slice $52 billion from the defense budget for 2014.
The budget reductions would reduce the size, readiness and technological superiority of the military, placing at much greater risk the countrys ability to meet our current national security requirements, Hagel wrote in a letter to the leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Hagel told Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and James Inhofe, R-Okla., that the Defense Department hopes to avoid a second year of furloughs of civilian personnel during the 2014 budget year that begins Oct. 1. But he says if the cuts stay in effect, the department will have to consider involuntary reductions in force to reduce personnel costs.
Roughly 85 percent of the departments nearly 900,000 civilians around the world will be furloughed one day each week over the next three months as a result of the across-the-board cuts in the current budget year.
The letter was the strongest statement to date from Hagel pushing back against congressional resistance to alternative Pentagon proposals to save money. The administration has called for another round of domestic base closings, elimination of several weapons systems, a speedier drawdown in the size of the Army and Marine Corps, and increased fees for health care. Yet the House and Senate, in crafting their versions of a defense authorization bill, have soundly rejected the Pentagon plans.
For months, senior U.S. military leaders, including Hagels predecessor, Leon Panetta, have called on Congress to stop the budget cuts, known as sequestration, or face the consequences of a military unable to handle all of its missions around the world. But even with sequestration, the Pentagon will still maintain an annual budget, adjusted for inflation, of well over $500 billion a year for the rest of the decade. Thats a modest reduction when compared to the previous drawdowns in defense spending that came after the wars in Korea and Vietnam and the Cold War.
Hagel cautioned of cuts in the force to deal with the required budget reductions.
If Congress does not approve these proposals, even more cuts in combat power, readiness and modernization would be needed to accommodate cuts of $52 billion in fiscal year 2014 and similar cuts in later years, Hagel wrote.
Specifically, the Pentagon chief took issue with the move in the House to increase the military pay raise from the proposed 1 percent to 1.8 percent. He said that would add about half a billion dollars to budget expenses and would force even larger cuts in other spending categories.
The automatic cuts kicked in March 1 and are the result of Congress failure to trim the deficit by $1.2 trillion over a decade.
The Pentagon must reduce its 2013 budget by roughly $41 billion by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30. In addition to furloughs of civilian employees, the armed forces are scaling back essential training and maintenance programs to deal with the lower spending levels.
Separately, the military also has to absorb a $487 billion reduction in defense spending over the next 10 years mandated by the Budget Control Act passed in 2011.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

When 15 North Central College accounting majors receive their undergraduate diplomas June 9, they will have already taken the Ethics portion of the five-part Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.
Typically, students don't have the option to take part of the CPA exam while they're still students. However, Sarah Lureau, assistant professor of accounting, arranged for the opportunity through her professional association with the Illinois CPA Society. Because North Central College and the Illinois CPA Society co-sponsored the test, students received a discounted rate and were able to take it on campus in April. This is the fourth year in a row Lureau has arranged this for graduating seniors.

The Best of Kass
Among his posts this past week, Kass offered a good investment choice if you believe in a self-sustaining global recovery, provided details on why the U.S. economy is not as rosy as some think and showed how he viewed the market ahead of Friday's action.

- If you believe in a strong, self-sustaining global economic recovery, the lagging FXI is a good long.
For those who believe in a strong global economic recovery that is self-sustaining in 2013-2015, the lagging China market makes sense on the long side.
The iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund (FXI) is a good proxy for China, and it has been a significant laggard vis-a-vis the developed world markets.
I am passing, as I don't subscribe to that outlook, which, thus far, is a view that has been embraced by many these days.
At the time of publication, Kass had no positions in securities mentioned.
Weaker Foundation
Originally published on Friday, March 15 at 10:09 a.m. EST.
Interestingly, bond yields are not rising in the face of a better industrial producction number for February.
I am not surprised, though, as I have been writing that the recent strength in the domestic economy should not be extrapolated.
February production rose by nearly twice the expected +0.4%, and January was revised to flat from -0.2%.
As I have been emphasizing, fourth-quarter 2012 real GDP was understated due to inventory disaccumulation.
This disaccumulation has reveresed in first quarter 2013, and we are seeing an inventory/production bounceback.
Fourth-quarter 2012 real GDP was negative. First-quarter 2013 real GDP should be about +2.5% -- link the two together and we get punk growth of only about 1.25%. And since the inflation number input by the government is phony, real economic growth in the domestic economy is probably even lower -- perhaps under 1%.
I continue to believe that the recovery in GDP will be short-lived (as inventory growth is normalized), and apparently, the bond market agrees with me.
Thus, the foundation for corporate profit growth and stocks is weaker than most assume.
At the time of publication, Kass had no positions in securities mentioned.

How To's
Making Whipping Cream
Whipped cream is used as an ingredient and as a topping in numerous recipes. Cream can be whipped with an electric mixer, handheld rotary eggbeater or wire whisk. Before beginning, the cream, bowl and beaters should be very cold. Chill them in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes. Whipping cream will double in volume when whipped. To whip cream:
- Begin beating slowly to avoid splatters, then gradually increase speed as the cream thickens.
- Beat until soft peaks form. Don't overbeat, or you'll end up with butter! If you whip cream too far ahead of time, it may separate. If this happens, stir it briefly with a wire whisk.
- To sweeten whipped cream, gradually beat in 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar for each cup of whipping cream.

What is in this article?:
- Western cotton marketers predict continued bullish prices
- Volatile factors
- Western cotton marketers predict bullish upland cotton prices in the short- and long-term.
- Calcot President Jarral Neeper predicts short-term December 2011 contract trading in the $1.15 to 1.25 per pound range on the low side and $1.35 to $1.45 per pound on the upside.
- John Chilton, president, Handwerker-Windburne, Inc., predicts $1-plus per pound cotton prices into 2013 futures trading, but an unlikely return to $2 cotton.
- The top issue driving cotton prices this year is weather.
More About:
Two Western marketers predict upland cotton prices will remain bullish in the short- and long-term.
"For the next three months or so, we'll have a relatively tight trading range for the December 2011 contract in the $1.15 to 1.25 per pound range on the low side and $1.35 to $1.45 per pound on the upside," predicts Calcot President Jarral Neeper.
Calcot is a cotton cooperative with members in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas. The company is based in Bakersfield, Calif.
For the 2011 crop year, Neeper predicts trading in the $1.00 to $1.70 per pound range; most likely $1.20 to $1.40 per pound.
"That sounds pretty disappointing since we were just looking at $2 per pound," Neeper explained. "Before we got to $2, $1.25 looked pretty good."
Many growers thought 85 to 90 cents per pound looked great back in August and September. Growers who sold at those prices, Neeper says, are a key reason why prices soared later. Cotton prices cleared the $2 per pound record-price hurdle in February. Neeper says a repeat of $2 cotton is unlikely.
Painting a similar price outlook, cotton marketer John Chilton, president of Handwerker-Windburne, Inc., Peoria, Ariz., predicts the cotton market will remain strong.
"Will it stay $2 strong? I have a hard time believing that," Chilton said. "I don't believe the price will fall below a dollar anytime soon. Anywhere in this price range makes the cotton market profitable for growers."
Futures prices in late April traded in the mid $1.50 per pound range. Chilton predicts $1-plus cotton prices into 2013 futures trading. The cotton market should remain strong due to intense acreage competition between corn, soybeans and cotton. The 10-year baseline price for corn is 200 percent higher; soybeans are 142 percent higher. This creates competition for acreage and inflates prices.
Neeper and Chilton spoke to a standing-room-only crowd during the joint annual meetings of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association and the Arizona Cotton Ginners Association in Carefree, Ariz., in late April.
The rapid rise in cotton prices is a "perfect storm" with ties to many domestic and international issues. Chilton points to the continued drawdown of U.S. cotton stocks; floods, fires, and rain in Pakistan, Australia, Russia, and northwest China; a 10 percent gross domestic product growth increase in Asia; the weakened U.S. dollar; and "consumerism" in China, India, and Southeast Asia.
China is rapidly becoming more westernized with an expanding middle class demanding more protein-based food and pricier consumer goods.
"The old tale is the Chinese father used to want a radio, a bike, and a bowl of noodles/rice every night," Chilton said. "The new China wants a flat-screen TV, BMW 5 Series car, and an affluent house on the hill. In this consumerism environment, the Chinese are consuming copious quantities of everything including cotton."
Neeper added, "The Chinese don't want to live in a crowded apartment anymore. They want a larger place to live, more clothes, and higher quality food. This helps support higher grain prices which in turn helps keep a firm floor underneath cotton."

Ohio Northern University business student member of team that captures first in national competition
Ohio Northern University Dicke College of Business Administration student Andria Beehler-Evans, a senior accounting major from Bellefontaine, Ohio, was a member of a four-person team that took top honors in the "Project Run With It" competition at the 2014 Beta Alpha Psi (BAΨ) conference held in Atlanta, Ga. on Aug. 6-9.
"Project Run With It" is an opportunity for BAΨ members from schools around the world to work together to solve a real client issue for a not-for-profit organization. A total of 72 BAΨ student representatives competed and comprised 18 teams of four members.
Representing ONU, Beehler-Evans led a four-person team, comprised of students from Southern Illinois, Brigham Young University and Marshall, that worked together to provide a comprehensive solution to an Atlanta not-for-profit organization, Jewish Family & Career Services (JF&CS). All groups in the competition were given 24 hours to meet with the client and create a solution and a presentation for a panel of judges, which included the chief financial officers from the JF&CS, accounting faculty members and a representative from the CPA firm Moss Adams LLP.
Fellow ONU students Ryan Abraham, a 2014 ONU graduate and 2015 ONU Masters in Professional Practice in Accounting (MPPA) candidate from Canfield, Ohio, and Frank Duffy, a senior accounting major from Wooster, Ohio, attended the conference. Matthew Phillips, assistant professor of accounting, and Anita Morgan, associate director of accounting and director of the ONU MPPA program, served as advisors.
"Andria consistently demonstrates the highest of academic achievement, teamwork, and leadership skills," Phillips said. "Andria again displayed these attributes by leading her team to top honors in the "Project Run With It" competition. I cannot think of a better student representative of the Dicke College of Business and ONU, and therein more deserving, than Andria Beehler-Evans."
Founded in 1919, Beta Alpha Psi is an honor organization for financial information students and professionals. There are more than 300 chapters on college and university campuses with more than 300,000 members initiated since BAΨ's formation. The primary objective of BAΨ is to encourage and give recognition to scholastic and professional excellence in the business information field.

Hannah is 6 months old (June 25th) and she seems to have a very healthy appetite! She was 7lbs 9 oz when she was born, and now only 14.5 lbs which is good, but we have just started solids (aside from cereal she's been having for about a month now).. Her typical day is like this:
7-8am 6 oz formula (weaned from breastfeeding already)
12noon - 7 or 8 (formula scoups which I thought were 1 tblspoon) of oats cereal with sip of water
4:30-5pm 7 or 8 scoups of rice cereal
7-7:30 6 oz of formula
this has continued throughout the month, but we have recently started carrots, sweet potatoes and I tried bananas, so as lunch went today which I thought she wanted too much to eat, I gave her 1/2 small jar of sweet potatoes, just under 1/2 small jar of carrots, but then just less that that of bananas and then she still cried for more food so I gave her 3 scoups of rice cereal and she continued to cry for more so I gave her 3 more scoups of rice cereal.. does that seem like a lot to anyone???

In June, DH, DD and I will be making a long car trip...from MD to TX to FL to MD.
Even going to the food store DD is terrible about car rides. She almost always just screams her head off, even with me sitting beside her and a mirror that plays music and lights up - nothing seems to calm her. DH has been making comments about how she will behave and how we will handle it during the long car rides in June if she screams her head off now until she has tears just streaming down her cheeks.
Since I have tried everything I can think of and cannot hold her or BF her while the car is moving, I was going to try to see if I can pump milk and get her to take it from the bottle. I hate to do it, but feel like, when it comes to car rides, I feel like I have no choice.
So, my questions about pumping:
How long is fresh milk (not refridgerated) good? (since we will be in a car, no fridge...best I could try to do is an iced cooler)
DD is 6 weeks, 1 day. When I should I try to introduce the bottle to her? I've had enough trouble with latch issues (sometimes no matter how many times I try to relatch her she winds up at a wierd angle or something - when I pull out my nipple is flat and the tip is white)- I really don't need nipple confusion.
I don't want to bottle feed her any more than I have to, but obviously can't not give her a bottle until she is 4 months and then expect her to just adore it in the car - how often should I give her the bottle to make sure she will take both?
Do babies have problems taking both or once both bottle and breast are established are they good at both?
Sorry for so many questions. This is our first. I absolutely refuse to do formula, but I just can't take the constant screaming in the car...20 minutes is one thing (as miserable as it is), but 3 20 hour car rides is not doable. Thanks for all your help.

Liberal Media: Obama's Front Line
It seems the liberal media are more concerned about Sen. Marco Rubio's midspeech sip of water than about President Obama's State of the Union commitment to double down on his disastrous policies.
What will it take for once-reasonable people to become alarmed at the state of this nation's fiscal condition, its stagnant economy and its egregious unemployment? Is there no number of irresponsible liberal policies from an extremist liberal president that will exceed their willingness to tolerate? Do liberal media — and rank-and-file Democrats, for that matter — believe that this recklessness can go on forever?
Knowing President Obama's capacity for fiscal folly and for scapegoating others for problems he's caused, even I find it hard to believe he could stand before the nation and masquerade as a Washington outsider — as a crusader against the squalid conditions he is engineering and exacerbating.
Are these media people truly engulfed in as blinding an ideological fog as it seems? Or are they just cynical co-conspirators in Obama's deceitful self-depiction as a model bipartisan who is actually seeking a "balanced approach" to resolving our fiscal crisis — as opposed to leveraging the crisis to further gouge the "wealthy"?
Balanced? We all know — it's undeniable — that we have a spending problem and that we are not taxed too little. Our government is bloated beyond belief, and Republicans have already joined Obama in raising the rates and reducing the deductions for the evil ones. Yet he continues to resist meaningful entitlement reform and real spending cuts and all the while deceives the American people with the scandalous whopper that he has already implemented more than half the cuts we need to "stabilize" the debt problem.
Shame on the media for allowing him to get away with this! Shame on them for not refuting his misrepresentations about the enormous cost and tax increases unfolding with Obamacare.
While Obama is obstructing solutions for real crises and manufacturing phony ones (gun control), he is accusing Republicans of conducting "business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next." No other occupant of the Oval Office has come close to such an adolescent level of projection — of falsely accusing his political opponents of the very tactics he has employed. But his cohorts in the media and elsewhere gleefully give him a pass.
They sit silently as Vice President Joe Biden boasts that the administration will not permit the Constitution to get in its way of imposing further restrictions on guns. They say nothing as Obama proposes draconian solutions for mass shootings that violate the Second Amendment, downplay the real cause of the problems and outright ignore scientific research.
They are mute as Obama makes his dictatorial threats to take unilateral executive action if Republicans refuse to comply with his demands for more business-killing programs in service to the gods of global warming.
They dutifully disregard the inevitably negative consequences of Obama's calls for increases in the minimum wage. At what point do these self-congratulatory people feel a tinge of remorse for promoting policies that harm the people they promise to help?
Are they honestly unaware that there is a level beyond which you harm, rather than help, people by exploding our food stamp rolls, forcing employers to pay wages higher than they can afford, extending unemployment benefits and legislating other transfer payments?
Does it ever occur to them that we wouldn't need to have all these counterproductive programs of "compassion" if our most beneficent president would quit smothering the private sector with his onerous spending, taxes and regulations?
Apparently not, because we see no curiosity from them, much less any criticism, about Obama's grandiose plan for universal preschool for every 4-year-old in the United States, while he opposes school choice solutions to help free inner-city children from inferior schools. We see no economic analysis that would show the inverse relationship between the amount of money the federal government has poured into education and the results it has produced.
I don't expect the media to understand, let alone affirm, that it's free market competition, not government central planning, that has created wealth in this country, but how about a modicum of honesty from them about the utter waste and failure of Obama's stimulus package, which he promised would get the economy moving again?
Then again, how can we realistically expect the leftist media to hold the perennially unaccountable Obama to account for anything in his 2013 SOTU address when they have wholly ignored his broken promises from past SOTU speeches, such as his pledge to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, his assurance that his stimulus plan would save or create 3.5 million jobs in two years, his avowal that Obamacare would result in universal health insurance coverage and his declaration that he would create gazillions of green energy jobs?
America's liberty burns while the media fiddle.

Four NCAA Div. III championships
PELLA — Three Central College athletes have been named Iowa Conference performers of the week. Seth Harris (senior, Waverly, Neb.) was named the men's tennis player of the week, Annie Sarcone (sophomore, Des Moines, Dowling Catholic HS) was cited as the softball position player of the week and Kyle Wood (senior, Newton) was the men's outdoor track events athlete of the week for track and field.
Harris won two matches at No. 1 singles in a league sweep Saturday at Loras College and the University of Dubuque. He defeated Dubuque's Nick Garcia 7-5, 6-1, dealing Garcia his first loss in 15 spring matches. Garcia is 15th in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division III Central region rankings. Harris topped Loras' Jon Moore 6-0, 6-3 and teamed with Zane Hendricks (sophomore, Fort Dodge) for an 8-4 victory over Loras at No. 1 doubles. Harris has an 8-4 spring singles mark and is 6-3 in doubles play.
Sarcone helped the No. 8 Dutch to a 4-0 record last week. In a doubleheader upset against No. 3 Coe College, the shortstop recorded six hits in seven at bats while driving in four runs and scoring four. She notched her seventh home run and eighth double of the year and was on base five straight times. Sarcone finished the week hitting .462 (6-for-13) and slugging .759.
Wood, a three-time all-America honoree, won three events at the Washington University (Mo.) Select Meet Saturday as the Dutch captured the title in a six-team field. His 400 meters finish of 48.56 seconds ranks 12th in Division III. The 4x100 relay won in a time of 41.76, ranking sixth, and the 4x400 squad took first in 3:18.68, ranking 20th.

- Title
- Recovering galaxy stellar population properties from broad-band spectral energy distribution fitting
- Author(s)
- Pforr, Janine; Maraston, Claudia; Tonini, Chiara
- Abstract
- We explore the dependence of galaxy stellar population properties that are derived from broad-band spectral energy distribution fitting – such as age, stellar mass, dust reddening, etc. – on a variety of parameters, such as star formation histories, age grid, metallicity, initial mass function (IMF), dust reddening and reddening law, filter setup and wavelength coverage. Mock galaxies are used as test particles. We confirm our earlier results based on real z= 2 galaxies, that usually adopted τ-models lead to overestimate the star formation rate and to underestimate the stellar mass. Here, we show that – for star-forming galaxies – galaxy ages, masses and reddening can be well determined simultaneously only when the correct star formation history is identified. This is the case for inverted-τ models at high-z, for which we find that the mass recovery (at fixed IMF) is as good as ∼0.04 dex. However, since the right star formation history is usually unknown, we quantify the offsets generated by adopting standard fitting setups. Stellar masses are generally underestimated, which results from underestimating the age. For mixed fitting setups with a variety of star formation histories the median mass recovery at z∼ 2–3 is as decent as ∼0.1 dex (at fixed IMF), albeit with large scatter. The situation worsens towards lower redshifts, because of the variety of possible star formation histories and ages. At z∼ 0.5 the stellar mass can be underestimated by as much as ∼0.6 dex (at fixed IMF). A practical trick to improve upon this figure is to exclude reddening from the fitting parameters, as this helps to avoid unrealistically young and dusty solutions. Stellar masses are underestimated by a smaller amount (∼0.3 dex at z∼ 0.5). Reddening and the star formation rate should then be determined via a separate fitting. As expected, the recovery of properties is better for passive galaxies, for which e.g. the mass can be fully recovered (within ∼0.01 dex at fixed IMF) when using a fitting setup including metallicity effects. In both cases of star-forming as well as passive galaxies, the recovery of physical parameters is dependent on the spectral range involved in the fitting. We find that a coverage from the rest-frame ultraviolet to the rest-frame near infrared appears to be optimal. We also quantify the effect of narrowing the wavelength coverage or adding and removing filter bands, which can be useful for planning observational surveys. Finally, we provide scaling relations that allow the transformation of stellar masses obtained using different template fitting setups and stellar population models.

What has been your experience(s) with adjusted vs. chronological age?
My twins were 5.5 weeks early and the ped has never adjusted for their growth charts or developmental milestones.
My dd was 6 weeks early and my pedi never adjusted when it came to growth charts or anything like that, i just know that even though she is in the lower end of her percentiles that she is gaining 2 lbs a month which is what she is supposed to. As far as other developmental milestones, just take into consideration that they are early and somethings will come in time. just take walking as an example - it is in the normal ranger to walk between 10 and 15 months - that's a big range but each baby is different. I would and do keep my LO's environment full of appropriate stimuli and talk and read to her as much as possible. Being in the dev psych field, i've tried not to drive myself crazy with making sure she is doing everything by the book because she is writing her own at this point HTH and your babies will gro up before you know it
Tina - mom of Addison Belle
5lbs 13oz - 18in
and my VBAC ~ Olivia Grace
6lbs 8z - 18.5in
My twins were 5 weeks early as well, and I am concerned about this issue too. I want to do everything I can to keep them on track so they don't get "behind". It's hard with preemies and twins b/c they want to sleep so much and you want them to so they'll grow and gain weight and you want to give them equal "mommy" time to help develop their sweet little brains =)
Mine were 5 weeks early - at first my doc did not adjust for age. When I questioned it (since the twins were below the 1%), he checked for the adjustment, and they were at the 2-3 %. It is not a big deal. As long as the baby/babies is growing at a consistant rate.
As far as milestones, throw out the books. It does not matter unless there is gross delay, and you will see that without a book.
Twins and mommy time - just nurse on demand, they will get mommy time

what can i take for the allergy sniffles and such associated with pollen?
i am pumping...do i have to dump, i hope not...
There are many OTC and prescription allergy medications that are perfectly compatible with breastfeeding. It's probably easier if you give us a list of the drugs you'd normally take and one of us can look it up in Hale's for you
well i have some tylenol allergy/sinus here... but i'm willing to get anything to stop this nose drip, sniffly junk i've got goin on....
MBC - can you please post the specific name of the drug? I am not familiar with what is in Tylenol Allergy/Sinus. However, you will probably want to stay away from pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) as it can cause supply problems in some women.
I can look most everything up in Hale's but in the interim, you can take a look at this page too -- it's not LLL approved but it's got information on the lactation risk categories of lots of drugs -- http://www.kellymom.com/health/meds/index.html
Watch for those things that may dry up your sinuses as they may also dry up your milk!
Allergy meds are fine, like Claritin, but decongestants usually aren't like Claritin-D and Sudafed ... I think!

This is a good resource:
You can always ask your local LLL Leader or IBCLC for the information directly from MMM (aka Hale's).

Skip to comments.Marion Barry commits new gaffe while apologizing to Asians
Posted on 06/21/2012 6:25:29 PM PDT by Milagros
Marion Barry commits new gaffe while apologizing to Asians Washington PostMay 24, 2012 D.C. Council member Marion Barry stepped up his campaign on Thursday to mend relations with the Asian community, apologizing again for disparaging remarks he made about Koreans and Filipinos and pledging to work to improve ties between them and African Americans...
Representatives of the Korean, Filipino, Chinese and Japanese communities attended the meeting, held at a church in Southeast Washington. Asked later about his reference to Polacks, Barry at first denied using the word, then retracted it, saying, I meant Poles.
His remark prompted a demand from Gary Kenzer, executive director of the Chicago-based Polish American Association, that Barry apologize to the Polish American community of this country.

Let's just turn this around to see how it sounds: "Niggers, I mean, African Americans...". Doesn't work does it?
Back on cocaine again ??? Just another text book DemocRAT.
Always in the gutter, never on the sidewalk. Always the problem, never the solution.
DemocRats — what would our country be like without them??
What's wrong with the word "Polack"? In Polish, the word, spelled "Polak," means a Polish man ("Polka" is the female counterpart).
A tourist told me today, I am not for Rep. Or for Dem. but what I saw on the news how Mr. Holder and Obama behaved, their arrogance is so ugly...
It's not the word.. It's the TONE he said that.
Excuse me if it appears that I have low confidence in the intelligence of the American people with this question but... whose arrogance?
When Stalin headed the Soviet Union, he regularly got 98% of the vote.
The German tourist I spoke to spoke of Obama and Holder, she was watching the hearings...
Yup. So does Mahmoud EIchmannJihad of Tehran.
Seriously, I have to laugh at all this idiocy. Hypocrisy and the self-proclaimed "leaders" of ethnic "communities." None of whom realistically represent the rank-and-file yet they claim to "speak" for all others. Such nonsense, and to even think they could have a pow-wow with a jacksass like Barry is even more hilarious.
And for a resident of DC to even speak of someone else's place being "dirty" is a real killer. I wonder when she's next volunteering for trash pick-up duty in the hood.
The tone seems to reflect his attitude toward Poland--from cancelling the ABM system to the "Polish death camps" remark. Here's hoping that those of the Polish diaspora living in the US take notice.
And for a resident of DC to even speak of someone elses place being dirty is a real killer. I wonder when shes next volunteering for trash pick-up duty in the hood...
On the other hand the DC council, of which Barry is a member, wants to spend $200 million on a 14 mile stretch of trolly car that will take 2000 people, per day, on average, from wealthier parts of DC to the "Chinatown' section ~ which is pret' much nothing but Chinese restaurants. Like, in the DC area the Chinese are smart and live in the suburbs like all the other smart people.
$200 million!!!!!
2000 riders!!!!!
Barry is against this trolly ~ which proves all his acuity isn't gone ~ but it also proves that the rest of the Board consists of people who are very stupid.
Thank you.
I have never understood why the word that means "Pole" in Polish is somehow an ethnic insult in English.
It's as if Americans felt insulted if Swedes called us "Americans."
"..The man's in his 70s ~ so some deterioration is expected ~ and people who are polite keep their mouths shut about it.."
Given all the dope consumed I would expect some deterioration too. And I don't know any felons that are deserving of "politeness". D.C. makes its choices obviously. Thus, they can live with them. His choice on the trolly system clearly is right — we have the same problem in Taxifornia. Every major rail transportation system has to be government (taxpayer) subsidized because it cannot pay for itself.
Taxifornia: run by, and destroyed by, DemocRats.

Enter through the decorative iron gates that are more than a century old. Wind along the regal drive lined with craggy Norwood maples dressed in their rich autumn reds and oranges. Ahead on the hill is the Mansion at Noble Lane, a 25,000-square-foot luxurious resort and spa that is the dazzling new face of a forsaken post-Gilded Age estate with a curious past.
Historic buildings are precious containers of a region's memory, haunted by their marvelous stories of another time. For every one that is lost, a piece of a city's soul goes too. Ruin and loss are tragedies for historic preservationists—and special opportunities for visionary entrepreneurs, like Monique Greenwood.
What Greenwood and her husband, Glenn Pogue, have accomplished in assembling their resources to rescue and restore the once-magnificent mansion is proof of the adage that "no one loves an old house in vain." Long-time residents of the area are ecstatic that this sorely neglected jewel from an opulent era in history is again shining brightly.
Having the vision
Constructed in the roaring 1920s as part of the F.W. Woolworth success legacy (see "Timeline" sidebar on page 5), the three-story, 70-room landmark building appeared on Greenwood's radar, thanks to a friend who was absolutely certain that the former magazine editor had what it would take to breathe life back into it. "From the moment I saw it, I knew somehow I had to have it. It was at once majestic and magical," said Greenwood.
She continued, "Of course when I purchased it, there were many who looked at me as if I had three eyes. But that third eye is the eye of vision. It gives the ability to see the possibility."
But a "third eye" of vision must be matched with energy, determination and skills to accomplish the practical part of dreams. And Greenwood has proven many times to have those characteristics as well. The former editor-in-chief of Essence magazine wears the varied hats of mother, author, hospitality diva and hands-on innkeeper. She is President and CEO (which she says stands for Chief Enjoyment Officer) of Akwaaba Bed and Breakfast Inns, a company she owns with Pogue. It includes four other successful B&Bs: one in Brooklyn, two in Cape May, NJ and one in Washington, DC.
Great bones
Still, even with 17 years of experience in hospitality ventures in various states, the Noble Lane restoration project was daunting. The exterior of the mansion had been extensively damaged during the production of a film shot onsite in the mid-'80s. Subsequently, the property housed a drug and rehabilitation facility, and then was left vacant for more than a decade. But, as Greenwood said, "It still had great bones." The original character endured, although the restoration and interior design and decoration efforts cost more than $1.5 million.
Local contractor Dakan Enterprises was hired to complete construction. Ibo Interiors, a Brooklyn-based company, helped Greenwood create an aesthetic presentation to honor the historic details of the original mansion, while imbuing it with a functionality that is in keeping with the sensibilities of today. The end result is that modern amenities don't seem at all discordant in cohabitating with elaborate early 20th-century fireplace mantles, intricate moldings and period architectural details like coved ceilings, webbed windows and oval rooms.
"We didn't renovate," said Greenwood, "we restored. There are few mansions like this in the country, and I want to preserve such grandeur." In recognition of her efforts, The Wayne County Historical Society recently announced the Mansion at Noble Lane will be a recipient of its Historic Preservation Award for 2012.
The Mansion at Noble Lane is located on 22 lush acres in picturesque Bethany, PA, and includes:
- 14 guest rooms decorated with unpretentious elegance for maximum comfort.
- Private bathrooms with soaking tubs or air-jetted tubs and refreshing rain showers.
- Various lovely gathering spaces with fireplaces, including a wood-paneled dining room where overnight guests enjoy a hearty, locally sourced breakfast each morning.
- YOU-topia, a seven-treatment room spa open to the public by appointment.
- Leaves, a glassed-in tea room for lunch and high tea, open by reservation Thursday to Sunday, 12 noon to 4 p.m.
- Fitness center with an Olympic-sized, heated indoor pool.
- Tennis, volleyball and basketball courts.
- A formal English garden with a secret stone arbor.
- On-site parking.
- Indoor and outdoor spaces for private events hosting as many as 400 guests.
"I'm excited to do business in such a beautiful environment, but I'm just as ecstatic about making Northeast Pennsylvania my new home," said Greenwood, who has turned a 5,000-square-foot carriage house on the property into a comfortable abode she shares with her family.
The Mansion at Noble Lane is described on the Akwaba website as being "perfect for spa vacations, couples rendezvous, girlfriend getaways, corporate and church retreats, and private celebrations, especially fantasy weddings for the indie bride."
Room rates range from $150 to $255 and include a full hot breakfast.

The Mansion's History
1908 – John Strongman , a senior executive with the F. W. Woolworth chain, built a modern two-story dwelling on his family property in Bethany to replace the aged house in which he had been born.
The early 1920s – The Strongman family purchased seven neighboring farms, and the collective became known as Bethany Homestead Farms. The 750-acre operation raised Leghorn chickens and registered Guernsey cows, and employed 30 people. The property also included a nine-hole golf course, playhouse, tennis court, indoor swimming pool, orchard and formal garden.
1923 – John Strongmans' daughter, Hortense, and son-in-law Byron Miller became the property owners.
1929-30 – A 70-room, three-story grand mansion was constructed on the grounds.
1933 – John Strongman died at the age of 78, leaving a $2 million estate. His first wife, Charlotte Hinch, had passed away in 1895; his second wife, Caroline DeWitt, died in 1936. Wife Caroline and daughter Hortense were generous benefactors, known for their philanthropic work in both Bethany and Honesdale.
1961 – Hortense passed away, and Bethany Homestead Farms was left to her son, Byron Miller Jr. After her death, he sold several houses on the property and sub-divided the acreage. The mansion, barn and remaining land then changed hands several times.
1960-70s – Three very elegant restaurants were located inside the mansion.
1986-96 – "Playing for Keeps" was filmed onsite in 1986, featuring then relative unknown Marisa Tomei in a supporting role. The exterior of the mansion was left in terrible disrepair when the film production company departed. Subsequently, Bethany Center, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, occupied the mansion and made major exterior and interior renovations. Bethany Village, a 100-bed assisted living center, owned all the remaining property and renovated and occupied the barn.
Mid 1990s-2010 – The mansion was vacated and neglected.
2010 – Monique Greenwood of Brooklyn proposed to purchase the property, restore the mansion and develop a destination spa resort. The Mansion at Noble Lane was completed and formally opened to the public in June 2012.
